I believe in a hill called Mount Calvary [我相信一山崗名叫各各他] - 史茵茵

當我們走過變幻莫測的塵世
有些事情常令人疑惑
但是世上最重要的一些事情
我們卻完全不能掌握

我相信一山崗名叫各各他
我相信這永恆代價
當歲月漸漸消失 世界成過去
我仍然信靠古老十架

我相信那被釘十架的主耶穌
有能力使新生命來臨
因祂使我全改變 賜下新生命
十字架使我生命更新

我相信一山崗名叫各各他
我相信這永恆代價
當歲月漸漸消失 世界成過去
我依然依靠古老十架

Bill & Gloria Gaither: I Believe in a Hill Called Mount Calvary (feat. Gaither Vocal Band)


I believe in a hill called Mount Calvary
I believe whatever the cost
And when time has surrendered
And earth is no more
I'll still cling to the old rugged cross
Oh, I believe, that this life
With its great mysteries
Surely one day will come
To an end, oooh
But faith will conquer
The darkness and death
And will lead me at last
To my friend
Oo-ooh
I believe, that the Christ
Who was slain, at the cross
Has the power to change lives today
For He changed me completely
A new life is mine
That is why by the cross
I will stay
I believe in a hill called Mount Calvary, oooh
I believe whatever the cost
And when, time has surrendered
And earth is no more
I'll still cling to the old rugged cross
