God Is Still Here

What if I forget the lyrics
如果我忘了
To the chorus of the song I wrote?
親手寫的歌詞了呢
What if my daughter gets a fever
如果我女兒生病在家
While I'm out here on the road?
而我卻在外奔波呢
What if this kind of life I lead is damaging
如果我的生活引我墮落
In ways I do not know?
而我卻渾然不知
What if I can never find a place
如果我永遠找不到一個
Where I can truly be myself?
可以做真實的自己的地方呢
What if I never chase my dreams
如果我不追逐夢想
And leave them sitting on the shelf?
卻將它束之高閣呢
What if I already missed my prime
如果我已錯失年華
And get passed by for someone else?
還與重要的人擦肩而過呢
What if the world doesn't end when the fears come true?
如果世界尚未終結就被恐懼籠罩呢
What if we have what we need to make it through?
如果我們要假借他物來共度難關呢
There is manna from heaven and mercies new
那裡會有來自天堂的憐憫和關懷
What if God is still here in this desert too?
如果上帝也與我們同在疾苦人間呢
Every morning I am full of hope
每個清晨我都像拉撒路
Like Lazarus up from the grave
從墳墓裡復活一樣充滿希望
But by the time I fall in bed
但當我倒在床上
I'm burdened by a heavy weight
我已不堪重壓
From picking up what isn't mine
直到無處可逃時
'Til I feel like there's no escape
我才拿起那不屬於我的東西
What if I believed that God would meet me
如果我相信上帝願意
In my trouble and my pain
與身處困境的我相遇呢
And all the truth that's in my head
腦海中的信念
Would move down to my heart and then
會漂流到心中
I shall not want for anything
平靜自然會
And finally be at peace again
填滿我的心靈
What if the world doesn't end when the fears come true?
如果世界尚未終結就被恐懼籠罩呢
What if we have what we need to make it through?
如果我們要假借他物來共度難關呢
There is manna from heaven and mercies new
那裡會有來自天堂的憐憫和關懷
What if God is still here in this desert too?
如果上帝也與我們同在疾苦人間呢
What if all my life I wrestle with my worry and anxiety?
如果我的一生都是在於憂慮的周旋中度過呢
What if the thorn deep in my side
如果身邊的荊棘
Is only there to help me see
能夠為我看清前方的路呢
That though I never ask for it,
儘管我從未渴求
The desert is God's gift to me?
難道疾苦是上帝給予我的禮物麼
What if the world doesn't end when the fears come true?
如果世界尚未終結就被恐懼籠罩呢
What if we have what we need to make it through?
如果我們要假借他物來共度難關呢
There is manna from heaven and mercies new
那裡會有來自天堂的憐憫和關懷
What if God is still here in this desert?
如果上帝也與我們同在疾苦人間呢
God is still here in this desert too
其實上帝與我們同在疾苦人間
