그리움
2017.10.07

많이 부족한 날,
I'm so very inadequate -
                 받아주겠니?
             Could you accept me?

해줄수있는게 없어도,
I can't do much for you - 
             옆에 있어주겠니?
               Could you still 
              stay by my side?

잘 못해도,
Even if I'm wrong,
                 지켜주겠니?
            Could you protect me?

말이 서툴러도,
When my words are clumsy,
               이해해주겠니?
              Could you try to 
                understand me?

원망해도,
Even when you resent me,
               사랑해주겠니?
      Could you please love me?

In this moment

As you are

In your strengths and weaknesses,

Growth and imperfections,

You are known

You are loved

As you walk through

Heights of joy

And depths of despair

Abba sees

Abba rejoices with you

Abba grieves with you

When you struggle through

Sin, grief, loneliness, exhaustion, conflict,

Crippling fears and anxieties

Abba sees your courage

To walk through each day

To the best of your ability

He says

Well done, I’m proud of you
