My heart is so proud.
我心如此驕傲,
My mind is so unfocused.
思緒難以集中,
I see the things you do through me as great things I have done.
我看見禰透過我,成就了各樣的大事。
And now you gently break me, then lovingly you take me,
此刻禰輕柔地將我破碎, 又溫柔地將我拾起,
And hold me as my father and mold me as my maker.
如父親般擁抱我, 如陶匠般塑造我。

I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up, when I keep on letting you down?
我問禰:“禰要扶起我多少次?當我一次次讓禰失望。
And each time I will fall short of your glory. How far will forgiveness abound?"
每一次都虧缺了禰的榮耀,禰的寬恕有何等的深遠呢?”
And you answer:" my child, I love you.
禰回答:“我的孩子,我愛你。
And as long as you're seeking my face, you'll walk in the power of my daily sufficient grace."
只要你仍尋求我的面,我每日賜下的恩典夠你用。”

At times I may grow weak and feel a bit discouraged,
有時我會軟弱,有時會些許沮喪,
knowing that someone, somewhere could do a better job.
知道在某處有人能比我做得更好。
For who am I to serve you? I know I don't deserve you.
我算什麼竟能侍奉禰?我知我不配禰的愛。
And that's the part that burns in my heart and keeps me hanging on.
但心中燃燒的這份渴望,激勵我繼續勇往直前。
