上帝聽禱告 =)

上帝聽禱告 (曲:西伯 詞:西伯)

(人說)
誰了解此時我心正淚流像火燙!
從我心燒如炭火,又像冰將我封鎖!
黑髮一夜白頭,我往絕望路走,
神啊,可否聽聽我禱?

問你可聽到我在傾訴?今我無話問蒼天;
我看前路極灰暗,試問誰為我指引?
我軟弱可知道?我問誰可改變?
若你真的為我犧牲,你定必會聽我禱告。

(天使說)
神了解此時你心,眼淚從未輕看。
從最初一如最初,從來不變不改!
心裏不用懷疑,冀盼未盡未熄,
神會聽聲聲的嘆息!

(天使說)上帝聽禱告,(人說)我在禱告,
(天使說)因祂愛永不止息。
(人說)我看前路極灰暗。
(天使說)就讓神為你指引。
(人說)我軟弱,(天使說)祂擁抱!
(人說)我未能,(天使說)祂可以!
(天使說)上帝應許讓你艱辛最後跨過,
(人同說)今我禱告。(天使同說)聽你禱告。

(合)上帝聽禱告,告別苦惱,
(人說)今我無言地感激。
(天使說)祂看靈魂極寶貴。
(人說)聽侯神為我指引。
(天使說)縱軟弱,(人說)祂擁抱!
(天使說)靠著神,(人說)總跨勝!
(人說)上帝恩典藉教一生也願宣告!祂聽禱告。
(人說)上帝恩典藉教蒼生也願宣告!祂聽禱告。

~ I love the whole exchange between the person and the angel...
It starts out pretty depressing, and when I was going through some struggles earlier this term, the lyrics felt like they were coming from my own heart. She starts out just crying out for help, crying out to God to listen to her prayers, her faith wavering...but saying that if Jesus really did die on the cross for our sins, God would surely hear our prayers. The angel replies and assures her that He does indeed hear our prayers, not a single tear that she had shed went unnoticed by Him...
The chorus goes alternating between them. I am especially touched when she's just about to give up and say the future is too dark, but the angel says let Him guide your path; she says I'm weak, but the angel says He holds us into His arms; she says I'm inadequate, but the angel says He is able. (My translation is obviously not the best =( so pardon the mistakes! and of course, if you can read it in Chinese it'll be best =P)
It ends with the person singing praises with the angel to God =) He hears our prayers, no words could express our gratitude. I will wait upon the Lord for Him to lead me. The next part is cool: the angel says although weak, the person completes the sentence this time, He holds us in His arms =) the angel says in Christ, the person says our victory will always be assured. She ends with praising God for His grace, and that she'll declare His grace to the world till the end...He hears our prayers.

祂聽禱告
因祂愛永不止息。
