你何曾離開過我
你何曾離開過我
少年時我曾質疑，為什麼不讓我家富足，
你說，我已經讓你衣食無憂。
小學時我曾質疑，為什麼讓我遭受烈怒，
你說，我會讓你的靈魂堅固。
中學時我曾質疑，為什麼苦難沒有出路，
你說，我已經讓你萬人羨慕。
大學時我曾質疑，為什麼敏銳卻仍孤獨，
你說，擁抱我就在你心深處。
成家了我曾質疑，為什麼婚姻充滿痛苦，
你說，我已給你更大的任務。
工作後我曾質疑，為什麼求索滿了桎梏，
你說，幸福是有我可以傾訴。
You Were Always Theres
In childhood I would often ask,
Why was my home not rich with more?
You answered, "What you truly need,
I have already placed before."
In school I often asked again,
Why must I bear another's rage?
You answered, "Through the fiercest fire,
Your soul grows stronger with each stage."
In youth I often asked again,
Why suffering seemed without an end?
You answered, "Though you cannot see,
I've blessed you more than you comprehend."
In college I would ask once more,
Why insight walked with lonely days?
You answered, "Deep within your heart,
My quiet presence always stays."
When I built a home, I asked,
Why love should carry pain as well.
You answered, "Greater work awaits,
A higher calling you will tell."
When work became my daily road,
I asked why every step was bound.
You answered, "True happiness is this:
In Me, a listening heart is found."
Only now I turn and see,
Through every joy and every scar;
Before I ever called Your name,
You were always where You are.
