『當我說,我是基督徒時』When I say, “I am a Christian”

【英文/ Carol S. Wimmer,中譯/重明】

When I say…”I am a Christian”

I’m not shouting “I am saved”

I’m whispering “I was lost”

That is why I chose this way.

當我說:「我是基督徒時」,

我並不是大聲的說:「我得救了。」

而是細聲的說:「我迷路了。」

因此我選擇這條路。



When I say…”I am a Christian”

I don’t speak of this with pride.

I’m confessing that I stumble

And need someone to be my guide.

當我說:「我是基督徒時」,

我並不是說話顯得驕傲,

而只是自己承認跌倒了,

需要人指引我。


When I say…”I am a Christian”

I’m not trying to be strong.

I’m professing that I’m weak

And pray for strength to carry on.

當我說:「我是基督徒時」,

我並不裝做強壯,

而只是自己承認軟弱,

需要祈求力量繼續行走。

When I say…”I am a Christian”

I’m not bragging of success.

I’m admitting I have failed

And cannot ever pay the debt.

當我說:「我是基督徒時」,

我並不是自誇成功,

而只是自己承認失敗,

無法付債。

When I say…”I am a Christian”

I’m not claiming to be perfect,

My flaws are all too visible,

But God believes I’m worth it.

當我說:「我是基督徒時」,

我並不自稱十全十美,

而只是自己承認缺點很多,

神相信我。

When I say…”I am a Christian”

I still feel the sting of pain

I have my share of heartaches

Which is why I speak His name.

當我說:「我是基督徒時」,

我依舊覺得刺傷、痛苦,

我也負荷苦難,

因此,我呼叫祂的名,求祂幫助我。

When I say…”I am a Christian”

I do not wish to judge.

I have no authority.

I only know I’m loved.

當我說:「我是基督徒時」,

我並不希望去論斷人,

我沒那權柄,

我只是知道上帝愛我。
