About 關於

meter: 10.10.10.10. with chorus 10.10.10.10. 和

1

Pressed out of measure, pressed beyond all length;
迫得太緊,迫得無處可逃生;
Pressed so intensely, seeming beyond strength;
迫到極點,好像力不能勝;
Pressed in the body, pressed within the soul,
壓迫在身,無處可算是平安;
Pressed in the mind till darksome surges roll.
壓迫在心,四圍都是黑暗。

Chorus 和

God is my hope and God is my joy;
神是我盼望,是我喜樂;
He is the resurrection life I enjoy.
是祂使無變有,叫死人復活!

2

Pressure by foes, and pressure from our friends;
迫于仇敵,有時也迫于朋友;
Pressure on pressure, till life nearly ends;
迫上加迫,性命幾歸烏有。
Pressed into knowing none to help but God,
迫到除神之外,別無人幫助;
Pressed into loving both the staff and rod.
迫到接受鞭杖,如蒙雨露。

3

Pressed into liberty where nothing clings,
迫到無一纏累,致得以自由;
Pressed into faith for hard and hopeless things;
迫到艱苦、絕望,惟神是求:
Pressed into life, a life in Christ the Lord,
迫到躲進生命⸺主裡的生命,
Pressed into life, the life of Christ outpoured.
得享基督生命,何等豐盈!
