There Shall A Star
St. Olaf Orchestra And Choirs Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

빈 들에 마른 풀같이 시들은 나의 영혼
주님이 약속한 성령 간절히 기다리네
반가운 빗소리 들려 산천이 춤을 추네
봄비로 내리는 성령 내게도 주옵소서

가물어 메마른 땅에 단비를 내리시듯
성령의 단비를 부어 새 생명 주옵소서
철따라 우로를 내려 초목이 무성하니

갈급한 내 심령 위에 성령을 부으소서

참되신 사랑의 언약 어길 수 있사오랴
오늘에 흡족한 은혜 주실 줄 믿습니다

가물어 메마른 땅에 단비를 내리시듯
성령의 단비를 부어 새 생명 주옵소서
가물어 메마른 땅에 단비를 내리시듯
성령의 단비를 부어 새 생명 주옵소서

성령의 단비를 부어주소서
아멘
