SOLO TU, SIGNOR

Vedo intorno gente che
Corre e va senza un perché
Cerca ma non trova mai
Pace dentro sé
Sguardi spenti dal dolor
Vie smarrite e cuor
Che ha bisogno di trovar
La serenità

Solo Tu Signor
Puoi dar Pace al cuor

Quando il mondo capirà
Che sei Tu il Signor
Solo Tu Signor
Cambiar puoi il cuor
Chi a Te si affiderà
Mai più si perderà

La Tua luce io sarò
Del perdono parlerò
Il Tuo Amor, la Tua Bontà
Loro porterò
E ogni giorno che verrà
Mi avvicinerà
Al momento che sarò
Davanti a Te

Trad. P. Arnese

Traduzione letterale:

Ogni giorno mi passano accanto
Lo posso vedere dai loro occhi
Gente vuota piena d’ansia
Che va chissà dove?
Vanno, ciascuno con il loro dolore
Vivono, di paura in paura,
Ridono, ma nascondono grida silenziose
che solo Gesù ode…

E’ gente che ha bisogno del Signore
Gente che ha bisogno del Signore
Quando ce ne renderemo conto?
E’ gente che ha bisogno del Signore
Alla fine di sogni infranti
Egli è la porta aperta
E’ gente che ha bisogno del Signore.
Quando ce ne renderemo conto?
Ha bisogno del Signore.

Siamo chiamati a portare la sua luce
Ad un mondo dove lo sbagliato sembra giusto
Potrà mai essere un costo troppo grande
Condividere la vita con chi è perduto?

Attraverso il suo amore il nostro cuore può sanare
Tutto il dolore interiore.
Essi devono udire le Parole di via
Che solo noi possiam dare.

E’ gente che ha bisogno del Signore…

Testo originale:

Everyday they pass me by,
I can see it in their eye.
Empty people filled with care,
Headed who knows where?

On they go through private pain,
Living fear to fear.
Laughter hides their silent cries,
Only Jesus hears.

People need the Lord, people need the Lord.
At the end of broken dreams, He's the open door.
People need the Lord, people need the Lord.
When will we realize --  people need the Lord?

We are called to take His light
To a world where wrong seems right.
What would be too great a cost
For sharing life with one who's lost?

Through His love our hearts can feel
All the grief they bear.
They must hear the words of life
Only we can share.

People need the Lord, people need the Lord
At the end of broken dreams, He's the open door.
People need the Lord, people need the Lord.
When will we realize that we must give our lives,
For people need the Lord.
People need the Lord.

 


The two young men who wrote the song “People Need the Lord,” Greg Nelson and Phil McHugh, give this story—
We were trying to write a song one day. We spent most of the morning talking about ideas. We decided, about lunch time, to go to a restaurant near my office in Nashville. After we were seated, a waitress came to our table.  As she approached us and smiled, it seemed that her eyes were so empty. She was trying to convey a cheery attitude, but her face seemed to say something else. She took our order and walked away.
Phil and I looked at each other and one of us said to the other, She needs the Lord.
We then began looking around the restaurant at all of the people there. They, too, seemed to have an emptiness in their faces. We sensed a real heaviness in our hearts as we watched them. Suddenly we realized that all of those people need the Lord. Just as quickly we both thought, We need to write that—people need the Lord.  We finished our meal and went back to my office and sat down to write what was in our hearts. The pictures from the restaurant that remained in our minds, coupled with the realization that millions of people around the world are also groping for some ray of light, gave rise to this.  —Lindsay Terry
