孔維仁

[強大的力量]

強大的力量

隱藏在最弱小的生命裡

小小的

在生命起跑點上微弱的氣息

他們總能夠喚起我昏昏欲睡的心靈

悄悄說

愛　不能等

－－－

[Mighty strength]

What a mighty strength

Is hidden in the frailest of all lives,

In such tiny little lives

And feeble is their breath while crossing life’s starting line,

Yet so powerful to awaken and summon this drowsy soul of mine,

Telling me softly:

“Love cannot wait”.

－－－

[塵囂之上]

塵囂之下

萬古長空

分秒必爭

爭著種瓜

讚美種瓜的人

爭著種豆

讚美種豆的人

除了讚美

還有什麼更悅耳的曲調呢

－－－

[Rising above the bustling world]

When you get too entangled with this bustling world,

Time dilutes into an indefinite infinite.

So, keep your focus! Not a moment to be wasted!

Do you want to grow melons?

Then praise melon growers.

Are you resolved to sow beans?

Then praise them, the beans sowers.

Ah! A genuine praise:

Could there be a more sweet-sounding melody than that?

－－－

[傾聽]

〈我要輕輕聽，我要輕輕聽……。〉

5 4 3 2 1

1 2 3 4 5

那是風的傳遞

我如何分辨其中的真理

這世界有許多美妙的聲音

在我們周圍充滿著

偶而也有尖銳聲響

讓我們想掩起耳朵逃避

這一切關於

5 4 3 2 1

1 2 3 4 5

意涵著每一個人　每一件事　每一個聲音

多麼活潑的存在著

而我們也用感覺去在意著

我們無法改變而感覺失落

唯有尋找主的聲音

引領在所有的聲音之上

啊　多麼悅耳

多麼平安

－－－

[Quietly listen]

(I want to quietly listen; yes, I’ll be all ears …)

5 4 3 2 1 (what are they saying? That’s sheer absurdity!)

1 2 3 4 5 (oh, that’s better, that makes more sense…)

That is what I hear the wind whispering to me, only that.

How could I discern the truth inside that whisper?

Many harmonious sounds are filling this big world,

All kinds of melodies constantly resound in the air around us!

But sometimes, all of a sudden, here comes a discordant noise:

Then our hands instinctively go to cover our ears; we just refuse to listen!

Sure enough those piercing noises are about

5 4 3 2 1

1 2 3 4 5

Those noises say so much about how every person, each thing, every single sound

Are so powerfully alive,

And how we care about them all with intense emotions!

When a sense of hopelessness follows my sterile attempts to change,

Only God’s voice is what I seek,

That He may guide me to rise above this cacophony of noises.

Oh, His voice, so sweet to my ears,

So full of peace.

[強大的力量]

強大的力量

隱藏在最弱小的生命裡

小小的

在生命起跑點上微弱的氣息

他們總能夠喚起我昏昏欲睡的心靈

悄悄說

愛　不能等

[Mighty strength]

What a mighty strength

Is hidden in the frailest of all lives,

In such tiny little lives

And feeble is their breath while crossing life’s starting line,

Yet so powerful to awaken and summon this drowsy soul of mine,

Telling me softly:

“Love cannot wait”.
