其實我們都不孤單

最近朋友介紹我一首歌， 聽完深深感動， 
讓我想到許多聖詠裡的詩句。
如果你知道唱這首歌的Joni Eareckson Tada的故事，
或許你也會跟我一樣，因她那中氣不太足的而動容。

常常很多時候我們以為自己是一個人，
um...只是看起來是而已


 
歌詞
Alone Yet Not Alone
Lyrics by Dennis Spiegel 
Music by Bruce Broughton
Performed by Joni Eareckson Tada

I'm alone, yet not alone 我並非孤單一人
God's the light that will guide me home 天主是那引我回家的光
With His love and tenderness leading through the wilderness 祂的愛與溫良帶領我走過曠野
And wherever I may roam I'm alone yet not alone 無論我在何處流浪，我並非孤單一人
I will not be bent in fear He's the refuge I know is near 在恐懼中我必不害怕，祂是我避難所
In His strength I find my own 在祂的力量中我找到自己的力量
By His faithful mercies shown 因祂信實的慈悲
That so mighty is His shield 祂的盾牌如此有力
All His love is now revealed 祂全部的愛今已顯示

*When my steps are lost and desperate for a guide 當我失足渴求方向時
 I can feel his touch a soothing presence by my side* 我能感受到祂的輕觸，一種撫慰的同在
Alone yet not alone 我並非孤單一人 
Not forsaken when on my own 當我獨自一人時我並非被拋棄
I can lean upon His arm and be lifted up from harm 我可以依靠在祂的臂膀裡，被高舉離災難
If I stumble or if I'm thrown 若我絆倒或被棄
I'm alone, yet not alone. 其實我並非孤單一人
He has bound me with His love 祂以祂的愛包裹著我
Watchful angels look from above  守護天使在天上看著我
Every evil can be braved 每個惡皆能勇敢以對
For I know I will be saved 因我知道我必得拯救
Never frightened on my own 當我獨自一人時我必不驚怕
I'm alone yet not alone 其實我並非孤單一人
