African-American Spiritual

Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh!  Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?

Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?
Oh!  Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they nailed Him to the tree?

Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?
Oh!  Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they laid Him in the tomb?

Matthew 28:6
“He is not here: for he is risen, as he said.
Come, see the place where the Lord lay.”

God sent His son, they called Him, Jesus;
He came to love, heal and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives!

         Chorus
           Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
           Because He lives, all fear is gone;
           Because I know He holds the future,
           And life is worth the living,
           Just because He lives!
How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days because He Lives!

          Chorus
         Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
         Because He lives, all fear is gone;
         Because I know He holds the future,
         And life is worth the living,
         Just because He lives!
And then one day, I’ll cross the river,
I’ll fight life’s final war with pain;
And then, as death gives way to vict’ry,
I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know He lives!

         Chorus
        Because He lives, I can face tomorrow,
        Because He lives, all fear is gone;
        Because I know He holds the future,
        And life is worth the living,
        Just because He lives!

因祂活著

神子耶穌，降生到世界，醫治拯救世上罪人；

為贖我罪主釘死十架，空的墳墓卻證明救主仍活著。

新生嬰孩，被抱在懷裡，何等安祥令你欣喜；

但你確信這幼小生命，卻能面對著明天因救主活著。

當我走完，人生的路程，面對死亡痛苦爭戰；

救主為我戰勝了死權，在榮光中我見救主祂是活著。

副  歌

因祂活著，我能面對明天，

因祂活著，不再懼怕；

我深知道祂掌握明天，

生命充滿了希望，只因祂活著。

歌詞

主耶和華，你已經鑒察了我。

我坐下，我起來，你都已曉得。

我行路，我躺臥，你都細察，你也深知我一切所行。

我舌頭上的話，你沒有一句不知道。

你在我前後環繞著我，按手在我身上。

這樣的奇妙，是我不能測透，你的至高你的尊貴，是我永遠不能所及。

我可以往哪裡去躲避你的靈？

我可以往哪裡去逃，可躲避你的面？

我若展開清晨的翅膀飛到地極，

就在那裡，你的雙手也必引導我。

歌詞

我知道我的救赎者活著，
他是永活的主，
当我在深谷迷失时，
他领我走正义路。
我知道我的救赎者活著，
他是永活的主，
当我在旷野孤独时，
他伴我作我的灯。我知道我的救赎者永远活著，
我心不再忧虑，
我要在每一个日夜中，
领受他的丰盛之爱，
我知道我的救赎者永远活著，
我灵不再沉睡
当号角响起的那一天，
我将见他荣光之面。”
我知道我的救赎者活著，
他是永活的主，
当我在旷野孤独时，
他伴我作我的灯。

我知道我的救赎者永远活著，
我心不再忧虑，
我要在每一个日夜中，
领受他的丰盛之爱，
我知道我的救赎者永远活著，
我灵不再沉睡
当号角响起的那一天，
我将见他荣光之面。”
我知道我的救赎者永远活著，
我心不再忧虑，
我要在每一个日夜中，
领受他的丰盛之爱，
我知道我的救赎者永远活著，
我灵不再沉睡
当号角响起的那一天，
我将见他荣光之面。”
