Immanuel[1]sung by Brian McLaren [1]Emmanuel or Imanu‘el Hebrew:עִמָּנוּאֵל English: “God [is] with us“ Chinese: 神與我們同在 Icon of Mary holding the child Emmanuel (16th century. St. Catherine’s Monastery, Mount Sinai)
Oh Immanuel, Am I crying again? Are these tears I feel upon my skin? 喔! 厄瑪奴爾, 我又再次哭了嗎? 在我臉頰上的是 淚水嗎?
Oh Immanuel, Can I lean on you again?[2] Can I share with you the heaviness within me?[3] 喔!厄瑪奴爾, 我能夠再一次依靠你嗎? 我可以和你分享 我內心的重擔嗎?
Oh Immanuel, I feel so helpless in myself. But my weakness draws my wandering heart to you. 喔!厄瑪奴爾, 我內心感覺好無助。 因我軟弱, 我流浪的心渴望你。
Oh Immanuel, I know the hard times make me strong. And they keep me close to you where I belong. 喔!厄瑪奴爾, 我知道困境 使我變強壯, 使我親近你, 再次屬於你。
Oh Immanuel, To know you’re with me is enough. When my walk is rough, to know I’m loved by you. 喔!厄瑪奴爾, 知道你與我同在 我的心就滿足。 路途崎嶇不平時, 我深知你仍然愛我。
