Oh what I would do to have

哦，我多想拥有那种信念

The kind of faith it takes

那需要的勇气

To climb out of this boat I'm in

勇敢走出我所乘的船

Onto the crashing waves

迎向破碎的浪潮

To step out of my comfort zone

Into the realm of the unknown where Jesus is

进入未知的领域，那是耶稣所在

And He's holding out His hand

祂伸出祂的手

But the waves are calling out my name

但海浪在呼唤我的名字

And they laugh at me

它们笑我

Reminding me of all the times

提醒我所有曾经的尝试与失败

I've tried before and failed

海浪不断告诉我

The waves they keep on telling me

一次次地说：“男孩，你永远赢不了！”

Time and time again. "Boy, you'll never win!"

“你永远赢不了！”

"You'll never win!"

但真理的声音告诉我另一番故事

But the Voice of Truth tells me a different story

真理的声音说：“不要害怕！”

The Voice of Truth says, "Do not be afraid!"

真理的声音说：“这是为了我的荣耀”

And the Voice of Truth says, "This is for My glory"

在所有呼唤我的声音中

Out of all the voices calling out to me

我选择倾听并相信真理之声

I will choose to listen and believe the Voice of Truth

哦，我多想拥有那种力量

Oh what I would do to have

Oh what I would do to have

The kind of strength it takes

所需的力量

To stand before a giant

站在巨人面前

With just a sling and a stone

手持弹弓和石头

Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors

四周是百万战士的声音

Shaking in their armor

他们在盔甲中颤抖

Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name

And he laughs at me

When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
