今回は久しぶりのあの企画、”Let’s Break It Down” !あなたの好きな洋楽をかんなが正しく、分かりやすく、和訳します!
今回は私にとって、とても大切な何度も私を励ましてくれたLaura Storyさんによる ”Blessings” (2011 – Blessings) という曲です!クリスチャンとしての希望がぎゅっと詰まったような曲。痛み、苦しみをクリスチャンがどう受け止めているのか、気になる方にもぜひ聴いていただきたいです!

Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things
‘Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You’re near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
All the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we’d have faith to believe
‘Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You’re near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home
‘Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You’re near
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy
What if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise
家族の平安のため、寝る間も守ってくださるようにと。
あなたの大いなる御手が私たちの苦しみを和らげてくださるようにと。
そしてその間あなたは、一人一人の望みに耳を傾けてくださるけれど
私たちをもったいないくらい愛してくださるからこそ、
もし、幾千もの眠れぬ夜が「あなたが近くにいる」とわかるために
