祢提昇我 You Raise Me Up

這首很美的詩歌源自有名的愛爾蘭傳統歌調Londonderry Air，它曾被用來紀念美國911遭受的恐怖攻擊。我把歌詞翻譯了一下，大意是説：
當我消沉、心靈疲憊的時候
困難來臨，重擔壓著肩頭
我要安靜，耐心地靜默等候
直到祢來，在我身旁守候

祢提昇我，讓我站立在山頂
祢提昇我，戰勝狂風巨浪
我堅強，當我倚靠祢肩膀
祢提昇我，超乎所有想像

每個生命，時時刻刻在尋覓
不安的心，何時得到平靜
但祢來臨，使生命充滿驚奇
我深知我已看見永恆生命

每個人都有遭遇困難、苦難、與憂傷的時候，但主耶穌是我們永遠的膀臂。祂能提昇我們，帶領我們到更高之地，超過我們所求所想。


This beautiful praise has been used for commemorations of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. The melody is based on the traditional Irish tune Londonderry Air. The lyrics say:

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.
