A Breath

[02:33.81][01:27.63][00:21.27]This life is like a breath; our days

[02:38.37][01:32.22][00 :26.10]Are numbered as we swiftly fade away
隨著我們漸漸老去而顯得彌足珍貴
[02:44.43][01:38.44][00:32.11]Though life is like a breath; how great --
縱使生命如呼吸般短暫而偉大
[02:49.38][01:43.26][00:37.19]Your word endures forever and a day!
你的話縈繞耳畔直至永恆
Life happens; but, it's moving too fast

Life is so fragile, withering away like tulips

Look upon this broken world, full of disappointments
抬頭環顧四方所見皆是沮喪
Shattered dreams, and bitter endings; did you find an ointment?
面對支離破碎的理想，尖刻痛苦的結局，你能否找到治愈自己的解藥？
You could spend the next 20 years searching solace for the tears

Just to render your life useless like engines without its gears
將自己比作失去齒輪的引擎，為自己的頹廢開脫
Do you find this funny that a lot of young dummies
你不覺得好笑嗎許多年輕無知的小孩

涸井怎能汲水
Can you really quench your thirst in that citadel?

An everlasting river's waiting for you to drink from it

Taste and see His goodness and grace
汲取他的精華，品味他的芬芳
In abundance. Man, a hundred days in his courts

Is better than a hundred J's
那可比擁有一櫃子的鞋快樂

也比找到法子快速來錢幸福

Second hand in progression towards every second; a blessing
縱使生命如呼吸般短暫而偉大
Pay attention or we'll be missing these most cherished possessions
你的話將流傳直至永恆
Nobody learns to hate it only waits to be provoked
音樂此刻而生，此刻音樂而造
Holding grudges ties the hands as time escapes and drifts afloat
珍貴的記憶將永存，我們用無價的時光拼湊未來的宏圖
All alone in bitterness as selfishness bears rotten fruit
但願凡事都會變得更好
Mal-nourishing a heart from forgiveness to act in vain pursuit
保持專注，因為那些珍貴的美好轉瞬即逝
Best friends becoming enemies as bonds are torn
沒有人生來就充滿憤恨，只是被生活的瑣事逐漸激怒
Divorces, leaving broken homes cause spouses can't get along
有的人被怨恨緊縛雙手，任由時間流逝
As believers we should live to set examples for all
孤苦伶仃，最終因自私而結出腐臭果實
But how can we illustrate forgiveness if we're not willing to draw?
擺脫徒勞的追求，從寬恕中滋養一顆心
Called to reconcile, seek and show mercy and grace
友誼之紐帶破裂時，昔日摯友終將形同陌路
Forgiveness brings a joy that can mend a broken embrace
夫婦之默契褪去時，也會逃離破碎的家庭
The Gospel shows we're forgiven, if transformation is certain
我們相信自己會活成身邊人的榜樣
Our attitude should be more like Christ and not Wicked Servants
但如果連筆都不願拿起，我們要如何描繪寬恕的美好呢？
