【要等到何時】

曲、詞：梅浩洲　編曲：吉中鳴

我年青時，主曾這樣問我：能否捨身，背十架跟從我？
我低聲回答：現在未是時候，時機一到我會願意。
我年長時，主曾再次問我：多年已過，你要等到何時？
我高聲回答：現在未是時候，時機一到我會願意。
我已渡過了數十寒暑，時機已錯過千百萬次，
我要等到何時，才可說我願意，我還要我主再問幾次？
我年老時，主慈聲告訴我：你知不知，你已時日無多。
我微聲回答：現在已經太遲，我靈枯乾不能侍主。
我但願回答：現在未是太遲，撇下一切跟隨我主。

[ Wait Until When ]
When I was young, my Lord has once asked me:
"Can you give up all things to follow me?"
I whispered to Him: "Now is not yet the time.
When it is time I'd say I will."
When I grow up, my Lord again asked me:
"Some years have gone, you will wait until when?"
I loudly answered: "Now is not yet the time.
When it is time I'd say I will."
I have been through so many decades,
million chances have just passed me by.
I have to wait till when, before I'd say I will.
How much longer my Lord has to wait?
When I am old, my Lord gently told me:
"Are you aware you don't have too much time."
I weakly reply: "It is too late by now.
My soul is too dry to serve Thee."
I rather reply: "Now is still not too late.
I'd leave all things to follow Thee."
