主，請為你的聖子停留片刻
Im so tired of tryin to run father, lets take a walk
我厭倦了四處奔波，讓我們稍作歇息
Im so sorry for what I done father, it aint my fault
我為過去的作為懺悔，可那些並不是我的錯
But the devils been on my back lately , hes like a hawk
魔鬼一直緊跟著我，像鷹一樣要把我捕獲
You never give us more than we can handle, but its gettin hard
你從不帶來我們不能應對的苦難，可現在事情變得越發難以收拾
And Im a strong individual, but I need you god
我是一個堅強的孩子，可我需要你
Lot of things that I used to, I dont wanna
我不想回到街頭
Run the streets like I used to, I know Im gonna
為了生存再次犯下曾經的罪行。堅信
Speak the word for you one day
有一天我會唱出對你的讚歌
Up in there like, hallelujah! on sunday
就像在周日做禮拜那樣虔誠

主，我感謝你賜予我的福佑
I thank you lord for the blessings that you gave me
我的生活步入了正軌
And for my life with the blessings you have saved me
我的愛人也一直伴我左右，這一段話發自肺腑
And for my wife you have carried me enough times - and thats the truth
在我面對無盡困苦時來到我的身旁，成為我的一部分
Married me to rough times, throughout my youth
經歷了一切也沒有把我拋棄
And through it all I saw that you was still with me
將我這只羔羊帶出了圍欄
I was that one lost sheep and you was comin to get me
主，你的愛，讓我如沐春風
Lord you got me like.. your love got me like..
你的愛，使我迷途知返

你的愛，可將我罪赦免

你的愛，能叫星星閃現
Lord you got me like.. your love got me like..
自你向我張開臂膀以來，我生活已有所改變
Lord you got me like.. your love got me like..
我愛我的人們，他們也愛我
I look at life a little different now, since you hugged me
因你的愛我們歌頌
And I always loved my peoples, but now they love me
從非洲至亞太，人們都成了雅各的後代
Thank you for the love lord, we praise ya
我懇求這世上仍留有你的血脈
Jacobs descendants, from africa to asia
不論是非對錯，都請指引我們戰勝黑暗
Pleadin the blood of christ over our life
在需要之時喚出你的名字
Wrong or right, just help us make it through the night and well
在享樂之時，流血之時
Shout yo name in times of need
在我們克服貪婪本性之時
And times of joy, and, when we bleed
你無需再用真言告誡我，我自會警醒
And, when we are overcome with greed
你曾拯救我，我知道，你就是幫我度過難關的那個人
You aint gon half to tell me twice, ima take heed
只要你發話，我就能承受
And because of what youve given me, I know youll deliver me
你是我在最後關頭還能奮起一擊的力量
And I wont drown no matter how deep the river be
世人都將我拋向撒旦之時，你賜福於我
You are the strength i, never knew I had
因你之名我們敬拜
Kept the heart good when they told me it was bad
為此我獻上這首讚歌，謝謝你，我的主

All praises due to ya
之前從未有過這樣的體會
Thats why I had to dedicate somethin new to ya, thank you father
在為非作歹的日子裡迷失了自己
Uhh..
你卻令天堂之門向我敞開

我對此一直耿耿於懷，我要在這唱出來
I never knew a love like, this before
我將你的賜福賜於世人心中
Messin with the thug life i, missed it all
我用你的方式存於世人心中
You opened the doors and, let me in
現在我得到了你的保佑
Im down for the cause so, lets begin
當我處於人生的低谷，你把笑容放回我的面龐
Prayers that you give to me I give to them
解開了我的心結
Same way you live in me I live in them
再也沒有揮之不去的痛苦
Life is a blessing now
帶走了我的淚水和憂慮
You got me smilin from inside of my heart, when inside it was dark
這是我這輩子最為喜悅的時刻
And it doesnt rain anymore
你必會知曉，只要我說出你的真言
Only sunshine, no pain anymore, I really love my
你必會知曉，只要你明了我的心聲
You washed away the tears with the fears
你必會知曉，永恆的笑容已在你臉上顯現
Im happier than Ive ever been in my life, the whole thirty years
你必會知曉，只因你為我父。
You know that! one day Ill speak the word
You know that! when I do I will be heard
You know that! you gave me a permanent smile
And you know this father because Im yo child, what?
