We are like grass on the field (somos como el pasto en el campo)
Loving God
It s a good way
Hier ist der korrigierte Text:
Standing in Your presence makes me believe
You're the Creator of the universe who is leading everything
And full of love You take care of me, You see where I am
You're reaching out Your loving hand, You guide my way
And it's a good way You have for me, when the night falls
You light up a light for me so I'll never get lost
It's a narrow way You are leading me on, sometimes it's difficult to see
I see only a bit of it, but it's prepared for all my days
And all the things I worry about become so unimportant
when I put my hand in Yours and stop being frightened
I long for more love and confidence in my Father in heaven
who takes care of all my needs long before I pray
After all, will the One who created me, who gives life and gifts to me,
will the Lord who owns me not take care of His child?
We are sheep in the Shepherd's hand, we just go where He leads us
Through valleys and mountains, rivers of flowing water
Die wichtigsten Korrekturen:
- "your"/"you"/"his" → "Your"/"You"/"His" (durchgehend) – Großschreibung bei Gottesbezug.
- "You re" → "You're", "I m" → "I'm", "it s" → "it's" (durchgehend) – fehlende Apostrophe.
- "creator of universe" → "Creator of the universe" – 1) Großschreibung als Ehrentitel, 2) fehlender Artikel "the".
- "you take care on me" → "You take care of me" – "take care of" ist die korrekte Präposition, nicht "on".
- "You re reaching your loving hand" → "You're reaching out Your loving hand" – "reach out" (die Hand ausstrecken) ist die idiomatische Konstruktion; "reach your hand" allein klingt unvollständig.
- "when the night falls down" → "when the night falls" – "fall down" ist im übertragenen Sinn (die Nacht bricht herein) unüblich; "falls" allein reicht.
- "so I never will get lost" → "so I'll never get lost" – natürlichere Wortstellung ("I'll never" statt "I never will"), Apostroph ergänzt.
- "It s a small way you are leading me" → "It's a narrow way You are leading me on" – 1) "small" → "narrow" (Anspielung auf Matthäus 7,14: "narrow is the way"), 2) "leading me" braucht im Englischen meist "on" oder eine Ergänzung für den Sinn "auf einem Weg führen".
- "I see only a bit of it but it s prepared" → "I see only a bit of it, but it's prepared" – Komma und Apostroph ergänzt.
- "topics I worry about" → "things I worry about" – "topics" (Themen, eher akademisch/formal) passt weniger gut als "things" (Dinge, die einen beschäftigen) in diesem persönlichen Kontext.
- "stop to be frightened" → "and stop being frightened" – 1) "stop to be" ist grammatisch falsch (würde bedeuten "anhalten, um ängstlich zu sein"); "stop being" (aufhören, ängstlich zu sein) ist korrekt, 2) "and" ergänzt zur Satzverbindung.
- "confidence to my father" → "confidence in my Father" – "confidence in" ist die korrekte Präposition, nicht "to"; Großschreibung bei "Father".
- "before I m praying" → "before I pray" – die Verlaufsform passt hier nicht so gut wie die einfache Form "I pray".
- "At least I ask who has created me gives life and gifts to me / Shall the Lord who is owning me not take care of his child" → "After all, will the One who created me, who gives life and gifts to me, / will the Lord who owns me not take care of His child?" – der Originalsatz war grammatisch sehr unklar (vermutlich eine wörtliche Übersetzung aus dem Deutschen "Zumindest frage ich, der mich geschaffen hat..."); ich habe daraus eine rhetorische Frage im Englischen gemacht, die dem vermuteten Sinn entspricht: "Wird nicht derjenige, der mich geschaffen hat und mir Leben und Gaben gibt – wird der Herr, dem ich gehöre, nicht für sein Kind sorgen?" Bitte prüfen, ob das deiner Absicht entspricht – falls du etwas anderes meintest, sag gerne Bescheid.
- "We are sheep in the shepherds hand" → "We are sheep in the Shepherd's hand" – fehlender Apostroph (Genitiv), Großschreibung als Bild für Christus.
- "Valleys and mountains Rivers of streaming water" → "Through valleys and mountains, rivers of flowing water" – 1) "through" ergänzt für einen vollständigen Satzanschluss, 2) Komma ergänzt, 3) "streaming water" → "flowing water" (natürlicher im Bild von Flüssen).
⚠️ Besonders die Zeile "At least I ask who has created me..." war stark unklar formuliert — bitte kontrolliere meine Interpretation, da ich hier eine größere inhaltliche Annahme treffen musste.
There is no more love
Hier ist der korrigierte Text:
There is no greater love in this world
than the love of the One who gave His life for His friends
There is no greater love in this world
than the love of the One who suffered for me
And His name is Jesus, who loves us all
His name is Jesus, who gives mercy and grace
He is worthy that I give Him thanks
Bowing my knees before Him
He has touched me deep in my heart
and now I sing with joy for Him
Come and celebrate with me the name of Jesus
Let us rejoice in Him because there is so much reason
He has restored my life from sickness and darkness
He has transformed my crying into a song of joy
Die wichtigsten Korrekturen:
- "no more love...Than" → "no greater love...than" – "no more love than" ist grammatisch zwar möglich, aber "no greater love" ist die idiomatische, bekannte Formulierung (Anspielung auf Johannes 15,13: "Greater love has no one than this..."); zudem Kleinschreibung von "than" (kein Satzanfang).
- "his life for his friends" → "His life for His friends" – Großschreibung bei Gottesbezug (Jesus).
- "the one who" → "the One who" (mehrfach) – Großschreibung als Bezugstitel auf Christus.
- "his name is Jesus who has love for us all" → "His name is Jesus, who loves us all" – 1) Komma vor dem Relativsatz ergänzt, 2) "has love for" → "loves" ist die natürlichere, direktere Formulierung.
- "His name is Jesus who gives" → "His name is Jesus, who gives" – Komma ergänzt.
- "give him thanks" → "give Him thanks", "before him" → "before Him" – Großschreibung.
- "I sing of joy for him" → "I sing with joy for Him" – "sing with joy" (mit Freude singen) ist idiomatischer als "sing of joy" (was eher "von der Freude singen" bedeuten würde); Großschreibung bei "Him".
- "rejoice in him" → "rejoice in Him" – Großschreibung.
- "transformed my crying in a song of joy" → "transformed my crying into a song of joy" – "transform into" ist die korrekte Präposition, nicht "transform in".
The Prodigal
Hier ist der korrigierte Text (basierend auf dem Gleichnis vom verlorenen Sohn, Lukas 15):
I'm coming home to You, my Father
I am the prodigal, please forgive me
I'm coming home
but I am not worthy
to be Your child, let me be Your servant
A father's heart filled with love
that forgives me even if I don't deserve it
God's heart is like a father's heart
He is longing for me to come home
I did not want to obey You, Father
I did not want to see
that Your thoughts were love
and You gave me all Your gifts and blessings
I did not want to see the tears in Your eyes
Away from You, life seemed so easy
Each day I did what I chose to do
But my friends were only there for me
when my money was there
When it was gone
they left me too
Then I stood alone, everything lost
and I had to work as a servant
I had to eat the food of pigs, remembering how good You are
And I went home not feeling worthy
to be in Your house even as a servant
But You were waiting there for me to come
And You are calling me: my son
Die wichtigsten Korrekturen:
- "you"/"your" → "You"/"Your" (durchgehend) – Großschreibung bei Gottesbezug.
- "I m" → "I'm" (mehrfach) – fehlender Apostroph.
- "even if I don t deserve" → "even if I don't deserve it" – 1) Apostroph ergänzt, 2) "deserve" braucht ein Objekt ("it" ergänzt).
- "A fathers heart" → "A father's heart" – fehlender Apostroph (Genitiv).
- "Gods heart is like a fathers heart" → "God's heart is like a father's heart" – fehlende Apostrophe.
- "longing for me to coming home" → "longing for me to come home" – nach "to" folgt der Infinitiv ("come"), nicht die -ing-Form.
- "Each day I did what I choosed to do" → "Each day I did what I chose to do" – "choosed" ist keine korrekte Form von "choose" (unregelmäßiges Verb: choose–chose–chosen).
- "But my friends were just approaching me / When my money was gone / They left me too" → "But my friends were only there for me / when my money was there / When it was gone / they left me too" – der Originaltext war inhaltlich widersprüchlich ("meine Freunde kamen nur zu mir, als mein Geld weg war" – das ergibt keinen Sinn). Ich habe es so umformuliert, dass klar wird: die Freunde waren nur da, solange das Geld da war, und gingen, als es alle war. Bitte prüfe, ob das deiner ursprünglichen Absicht entspricht – falls du etwas anderes meintest, sag gerne Bescheid.
- "I had to eat food of pigs" → "I had to eat the food of pigs" – Artikel "the" ergänzt für einen natürlicheren Satzfluss.
- "To be in your house as a servant" → "to be in Your house even as a servant" – "even" ergänzt, um den Sinn des Originaltextes zu verdeutlichen (er hält sich nicht einmal für würdig, ein Diener zu sein). Falls "even" nicht gewünscht ist, kann es auch weggelassen werden.
⚠️ Bitte insbesondere die dritte Strophe ("But my friends were just approaching me...") noch einmal prüfen – dort war die ursprüngliche Aussage unklar, und ich musste eine Interpretation treffen, um den Satz grammatisch und inhaltlich stimmig zu machen.Hier ist der korrigierte Text:

You left (tu dejaste)
I want to love you more Jesus (Quiero amarte mas Jesus)
When I put my hand in your hand
When I see your loving face
When I feel your heart near me
I praise you
When nothing else matters, being in your presence
Which testifies that you love me
I praise youI want to love you more, Jesus, not only to know you
I want to love you more, Jesus, not only because you bless me
I want to love you because you are the friend of my life
I am hungry for you
I give thanks to you
Because you loved me before
When I look at the stars in a dark night
I am thinking of you
And I praise you
When I feel your presence and I'm falling in your arms
Which are a refuge for me
I praise you
Jesus, Lamb of God, faithful and gentle
You are the passion of my life
I love you Lord
Nothing seperates us (Nada nos separa)
Hier ist der korrigierte Text:
Nothing separates us from the love of God
No height, no depth, no darkness
Like a father leading his child with love
All He does is good
He gives us peace, not as the world gives it
Your heart should not tremble
We have no fear because He is with us
He gives peace and rest when it's storming
He gives us His grace even though we don't deserve it
His grace without condition
I say joyfully: I am forgiven
There is no condemnation for me
His anger is slow and His grace is great
Each day we breathe here
It's time to repent
Receive Christ and life
Die wichtigsten Korrekturen:
- "No highs no depth no darkness" → "No height, no depth, no darkness" – 1) Anspielung auf Römer 8,39 ("neither height nor depth"), 2) "highs" (Plural, umgangssprachlich für "Höhepunkte") → "height" (die Höhe, als Gegenstück zu "depth"), 3) Kommas zur besseren Lesbarkeit ergänzt.
- "He gives us peace not the earth" → "He gives us peace, not as the world gives it" – Anspielung auf Johannes 14,27 ("Peace I leave with you... not as the world gives"); "not the earth" ergibt so keinen Sinn, "not as the world gives it" ist die korrekte, bekannte biblische Formulierung.
- "We don t have fear" → "We have no fear" – 1) Apostroph ergänzt, 2) "have no fear" ist idiomatischer als "don't have fear".
- "when It s storming" → "when it's storming" – Kleinschreibung von "it" (kein Satzanfang/Eigenname), Apostroph ergänzt.
- "even we don t deserve it" → "even though we don't deserve it" – "even" allein reicht hier nicht als Konjunktion; "even though" (obwohl) ist die korrekte Form; Apostroph ergänzt.
- "I am saying joyful I am forgiven" → "I say joyfully: I am forgiven" – 1) "joyful" (Adjektiv) → "joyfully" (Adverb, beschreibt "sagen"), 2) Doppelpunkt für die wörtliche Aussage ergänzt.
- "His anger is slowly" → "His anger is slow" – "slowly" (Adverb) passt hier nicht; nach "is" (Verbindungsverb) braucht es das Adjektiv "slow".
- "we respire" → "we breathe" – "respire" ist ein sehr formal-medizinischer Begriff; "breathe" ist im allgemeinen/poetischen Kontext das natürlichere Wort.
- "repend ourselves" → "repent" – 1) "repend" ist kein englisches Wort (Tippfehler für "repent"), 2) "repent" ist im Englischen nicht reflexiv, man sagt nicht "repent ourselves".
⚠️ Kleiner Hinweis: Die letzte Zeile deines Textes endete mit "It's time to repend ourselves" – im entsprechenden spanischen Original (das du früher eingereicht hattest) gab es noch eine zusätzliche Zeile "Recibir a Cristo y la vida" (Christus und das Leben empfangen). Ich habe sie als "Receive Christ and life" ergänzt, falls sie im Englischen versehentlich fehlte – falls das nicht gewünscht ist, kannst du diese letzte Zeile einfach weglassen.
The wind in my hair (El viento en mi pelo)
Jesus I miss you sometimes so much
I have joy in you (me gozare en ti)
I have joy in You,
even in times I don't like.
I have joy in You,
and I give thanks to You.
I have joy in You
when the wind blows against me.
I have joy in You
because that is Your will for me.
It is easy to have joy on a sunny day
when everything is blessed by You.
But when we are in trouble,
we have to rely on You
and not lose our peace and joy.
Endless prayer to You in heaven
gives us strength to endure our troubles.
Your Spirit helps me to see the way.
Your Word is a light for me.
God how great are your wonders (Dios que grande son tus maravillos)
High as the mountains (Alto como las montañas)
High as the mountains is your grace about me
God help me to understand (Dios ayudame a entender)
Gerne. Ich würde das Englisch etwas natürlicher und zugleich poetisch und gut singbar formulieren, ohne die ursprüngliche Aussage zu verändern.
God, help me to understand
that Your time is not mine.
Give me patience
to wait in silence
for Your answer.
Give me greater faith
when my soul is suffering.
Sometimes You seem to come late,
but You always come
with a purpose and a solution.
When I cry out, when I pray,
it seems that You are not listening.
But You are working in silence.
You have already prepared
the day of tomorrow.
I have to pray,
I have to trust
in the Lord who created the world.
He watches over me every day,
and He has already prepared
the day of tomorrow.
You say in Your Word
that when I cry out to You,
You will give me an answer.
You know better
what is good for me.
You have prepared for me
a tomorrow,
a future in Your hands.
God is hearing your praying (Dios escucha tu adoracion)
God hears your prayers
He always gives you an answer
Even though you must sometimes waitHe arrives in His time
Don't despair in difficult times
He has a way
He is greater than your problems
He is solving everything
Give Him thanks, even for the bad things
It works out for your good
After the rain comes the sun
Always in His time
When you're crying, you need faith
You're never suffering alone
He is faithful every day
Holding onto His promise
I lift up my eyes to the mountains (alzare mis ojos a los montes)
I lift up my eyes to the mountains
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from God,
who created heaven and earth.
He moves his hands when I pray.
I am quiet; he is fighting for me.
He guards me every day like a sheep.
He leads me and protects me; he is the good shepherd.
I will always praise him,
I will always pray
to my great God,
my help, my strength.
Who is as great as the Lord (Quien es tan grande como Dios)
Who is as great as the Lord, The Creator of heaven and earth
He's reigning in majesty in heaven But he doesn't forget about me
My Creator, my life, my Father My Creator, my life, my Father
The fool says in his heart there is no God, even though His creation speaks of Him
The fool satisfies his soul in the world, not thinking that everything ends
But nothing satisfies the thirst of the soul
Like the presence of God Like the presence of God
I am feeling safe because God loves me, because He's guarding every day of my life
And all He expects of me is that I give thanks to Him
It is joy to praise the Lord with my soul
Feeling His presence Feeling His presence
I will never forget that God allows me to live
That He saved me from the valley of death, put my foot on the rock
I will praise the King in heaven
Searching His presence Searching His presence
