台灣,是時後飛了

台灣, 是時候飛了！若你還猶豫，我就背起你飛;
台灣你知道嗎？你進入命定的時候到, 眾海島都在等著你。
台灣我的眾兒女，我按你們的名，點出你們來;我一直與你們同在，
我親愛的孩子們不要害怕,莫再悲傷；放下你們的重擔, 忘記你們的愁苦和恩怨。
抬起你們的頭，摖干你們的眼淚，緊緊靠著我, 與我一起飛！
我公義的日頭，要醫治你們。
看那！一切都更新了！自由地歌唱，跳舞，歡樂吧台灣! 你的君王在這裡。
聽啊!台灣, 這是阿爸父的呼喚!

Taiwan, it’s time to fly! If you still hesitate, then I will carry you and fly.
Taiwan, do you know the time has come for you to enter your destiny?
The islands are waiting for you. My children in Taiwan,
I have called you by name, I have always been with you.
My dear children don’t be afraid or sad, Lay down your burdens,
Forget your sorrows and grievances. Lift up your heads,
Dry your tears, Lean on Me and fly with me!
I the Sun of Righteousness will heal you.
Look! Everything is made new! Sing, dance and rejoice in freedom, Taiwan!
Your King is here. Listen, Taiwan, this is Abba Father’s cry!
