Lyrics & Translation
But You say I must know
That when I was a sinner, You granted me a Mediator
Even if I take pride in this life
But You say I must know
Don't worry about that, don't complain in despair
Just look up to the Lord, even if I get lost
God has already prepared everything. I don't believe in luck
Even if things seem wonderful, they might not be what You expect
God has already prepared everything. At least I won't be abandoned
It’s rare that You died for me
Even if I achieve pride in this life
But You say I must know
Don't worry about that, don't complain in despair
Just look up to the Lord, even if I get lost
God has already prepared everything. I don't believe in luck
Even if things seem wonderful, they might not be what You expect
God has already prepared everything. At least I won't be abandoned
It’s rare that You died for me
Thank You, You encourage me
Thank You, You lift me from the depths
Thank You, even if I lose my truth
But I haven't forgotten
God has already prepared everything. I don't believe in luck
Even if things seem wonderful, they might not be what You expect
God has already prepared everything, and at least I won't be abandoned
It’s rare that You died for me
It’s rare that You died for me

Key Grammar Structures
-
就算我可得到世間的財寶
➔ Conditional sentence (hypothetical)
➔ The structure "就算...也..." (even if... still...) expresses a hypothetical condition and its consequence. "就算" introduces the condition, and "也" implies that the consequence will still hold true despite the condition. "可得到" means "could obtain/get"
-
別為因此而煩惱
➔ Imperative sentence with negation
➔ "別" (bié) is used to express a negative command or prohibition. "為...而..." (wèi... ér...) indicates the reason or purpose of the action. Therefore, "別為因此而煩惱" means "Don't worry about this".
-
只要仰望主哪怕會迷路
➔ "只要...哪怕...也..." structure (as long as... even if... still...)
➔ This structure highlights the priority of the first condition. "只要" (zhǐyào) means "as long as", "哪怕" (nǎpà) means "even if", and "也" implies that the following result will happen, regardless of the secondary condition. "仰望主" means "look up to God".
-
上帝早已預備
➔ Adverb of time + verb
➔ "早已" (zǎoyǐ) is an adverb of time meaning "long ago; for a long time; already". It indicates that the action of "預備" (yùbèi), which means "prepare", happened in the past and has been completed. So the sentence literally means "God has already prepared."
