特別讃美 Living Hope

礼拝での特別讃美は、アメリカ人3人、日本人2人での讃美した。

リモートで練習して、5人に一緒に歌うのはこの時が始めただとのことでした。

意味がよくわからなくて、メロディーとハーモニーだけで味わいました。

感染対策で、数カ所に分かれて、ライブ配信されているテレビ画面を見て礼拝をしていますが

私はちょうど先週は会堂で礼拝することができたので、生で聴けて良かったです

ただ、歌詞が映されることもなく、意味が全くわからなくて残念でした

まあ、歌詞が見えても、読めなかったでしょうけど。

そこでネットで歌詞を捜しました。読めても意味が分からない部分は残るが、わかるところで讃美します

Phil Wickham - Living Hope (Official Music Video)

[Verse 1]
How great the chasm that lay between us　
How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation, I turned to heaven　苦しまぎれに切実な思いで、私は天を仰ぎ
And spoke Your name into the night
Then through the darkness, Your loving-kindness
Tore through the shadows of my soul私の魂の闇を打ち破った
The work is finished, the end is written
Jesus Christ, my living hope
[Verse 2]
Who could imagine so great a mercy?
What heart could fathom such boundless grace?　このような限りない恵みを誰の心が理解しえよう
The God of ages stepped down from gloryとこしえの神は栄光を捨てられた
To wear my sin and bear my shame
The cross has spoken, I am forgiven
The King of kings calls me His own
Beautiful Savior, I'm Yours forever
Jesus Christ, my living hope

[Chorus]
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope

[Verse 3]

Then came the morning that sealed the promiseそして約束を証明する朝が来た

Your buried body began to breathe

Out of the silence, the Roaring Lion

Declared the grave has no claim on me主は、墓はもう私を縛ることがない、と宣言した

Then came the morning that sealed the promise

Your buried body began to breathe

Out of the silence, the Roaring Lion

Declared the grave has no claim on me

Jesus, Yours is the victory, whoa!

[Chorus]

Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free

Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me

You have broken every chain

There's salvation in Your name

Jesus Christ, my living hope

Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free

Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me

You have broken every chain

There's salvation in Your name

Jesus Christ, my living hope...

[Outro]

Jesus Christ, my living hope

Oh God, You are my living hope
