有一天讀聖經的時候,讀到了哥林多前書7:31:”因為這世界的樣子將要過去了”非常抓住我心。我就開始反覆的思想它,唱它(禱唱經文)。每次唱這首歌就會被提醒:這世界將要過去,但是唯有神的國度和神的愛是永遠長存的。Verse and Bridge 着眼在這世界的短暫,副歌則着重在神的永恆。這首歌的目的,是要帶來盼望和永恆的眼光。
This world in its present form is passing away
這世界的樣子將要過去
It's passing, it's passing, it is passing away
要過去 要過去 這世界將要過去
All flesh but a vapor is fading away
凡有血氣的盡都如草
It's fading, it's fading, it is fading away
必枯乾 必枯乾 如草必枯乾
Woah~ oh
喔
But when I look at the stars I remember
但當我仰望星晨 我就被提醒
Where my heart belongs
我心靈的歸屬
And the One who endures forever
而那位坐這在 寶座上
His love goes on and on
祂愛永遠長存
Just like the river that flows from Zion
就像從錫安山上留下來
That never will run dry
的河永不枯乾
So those who trust in the Lord will within them
凡投靠耶和華的都必
Spring up eternal life
湧出永恆生命
Woah~ oh
喔
The world and its desires pass way
這世界情慾都要過去
Even Heaven and earth shall pass away
即使天和地都要廢去
All glory of man like grass one day
所有人的美容都如草
Will pass away…. Away!!!
將要過去 過去
To Chorus
Our hope is in You, Jesus
盼望在於祢 耶穌
Our lives are for You, Jesus
生命是為了祢 耶穌
