德国一老太太的诗

[qidu]

You call me eternal, than do not seek me.
You call me fair, then do not love me.
you call me gracious, then do not trust me.
you call me just, then do not fear me.
you call me life, then do not choose me.
you call me light, then do not see me.
you call me lord, then do not respect me.
you call me master, then do not obey me.
you call me merciful, then do not thank me.
you call me mighty, then do not honor me.
you call me rich, then do not ask me.
you call me savior, then do not praise me.
you call me shepherd, then do not follow me.
you call me way, then do not walk with me.
you call me wise, then do not heed me.
you call me Son of God, then do not worship me.
when I condemn you, then do not blame me.

 

[focus on today]

How about read it another way?

I seek you because you are eternal,

I love you because you love me first,

I trust you because you are fair and gracious,

I fear you because you are just,

I choose you because you are alive
I see you because you are the light
I respect you because you are my lord
I obey you because you are my master
I thank you because you are merciful
I honor you because you deserve
I ask you because you are rich and mighty

I praise you because you are my savior
I follow you because you are my shepherd
I walk with you because you show me the way

I heed you because you are the wisdom
I worship you because you are the only son of God
I can not blame you because I am a sinner

个人认为德国老太太还是倾向用母语写诗的
