Teach me (Enseñame)

 

Hier ist der korrigierte Text:

Many times I don't understand the meaning of my path
I often wonder why I live here
Many things I did not do well in my life
But You tell me that everything has its purpose for You

Teach me to see life with Your eyes
Teach me the laws of Your kingdom
Teach me to love like You loved
Teach me to live with You, Lord

Father, You give me bread and not stone
But when I don't ask, I don't receive anything
I'm going to start asking with faith
I'm aware that Your plans are perfect for me

Sometimes You don't allow the world to deliver
because I have to learn to look only to You
You want to be the source of joy and happiness
Everything else is just a flower on the road

Living with You every day in Your presence
Spending my time and my life for You
makes me understand that You are the King of heaven
and even though I am small, I'm important to You

Die wichtigsten Korrekturen:

  • "you" → "You" (durchgehend) – Großschreibung bei Gottesbezug (wie in den vorherigen englischen Liedern).
  • "Many things I did not well in my life" → "Many things I did not do well in my life" – fehlendes Verb "do" ergänzt.
  • "all has its purpose for you" → "everything has its purpose for You" – "everything" ist im modernen Englisch gebräuchlicher als "all" in dieser Position.
  • "Teach me to live with you Lord" → "Teach me to live with You, Lord" – Komma vor der Anrede "Lord" ergänzt.
  • "I m knowing that your plans" → "I'm aware that Your plans" – 1) Apostroph ergänzt, 2) "knowing" im Verlaufsform passt bei "know" (Zustandsverb) nicht gut im Englischen; "I'm aware that" (ich bin mir bewusst, dass) ist die natürlichere Formulierung.
  • "to look only in you" → "to look only to You" – "look to someone" (sich an jemanden wenden/auf jemanden schauen) ist idiomatischer als "look in".
  • "a just flower" → "just a flower" – Wortstellung korrigiert ("just" gehört vor den Artikel, nicht dazwischen).
  • "Live with you every day...Spend my time...It makes me understand" → "Living with You every day...Spending my time...makes me understand" – die Satzkonstruktion war uneinheitlich (Imperativ-artige Verben, dann plötzlich "It makes"); durch die Umformung zu Gerundien ("Living", "Spending") als Subjekt des Satzes wird die Struktur grammatisch stimmig: "Living...and spending... makes me understand...".
  • "king of heaven" → "King of heaven" – Großschreibung als Ehrentitel.
  • "I m important" → "I'm important" – fehlender Apostroph.

As the deer bellows into the water

 As the deer bellows into the water

my soul seeks water in you

You have water, living water

there is only rest in you


In the desert of life you give us to drink

Being with you, quench my thirst I don't need more


In how many moments of sadness your hand was on me

You are the almighty God nothing is impossible for you


You rescue me to be my friend and I will adore you

You show me many treasures when I faithfully seek you

You will not lack anything

Hier ist die korrigierte Version:

When the hope of your life disappears

When the hope of your life disappears
When you lose everything that was important to you
When the pain climbs over the joy
When the night surrounds you and you feel fear
He has a promise for you:

You will not lack anything
Even if the night of death reigns
You will not lack anything
Even if the enemies are laughing
And the shadows fall
He holds you in His hand
He is with you
There's nothing you lack

And you think these are all empty words
For where is God who loves you when despair controls you
And you ask about God's goodness
When in the valley of darkness you can't see anymore
Just believe, He said:

Maybe He doesn't give you what you want
But His table is set, He just wants you to come
Turn your gaze today
From all that scares you
To the One who gives hope
And be certain:


Wichtigste Korrekturen:

  • "night surrounds and you feeling fear" → "night surrounds you and you feel fear" (Verb korrigiert)
  • "shaddows" → "shadows"
  • "There s nothing" → "There's nothing"
  • Großschreibung von "He/His/Him" vereinheitlicht (üblich bei religiösen Liedtexten, wenn auf Gott verwiesen wird)
  • "of all that scares you" → "From all that scares you" (Präposition passt besser zur Bedeutung "weg von")
  • Doppelte Leerzeichen entfernt, Zeilenumbrüche und Kommata leicht angepasst für den Lesefluss

Falls du "He/His" lieber kleingeschrieben haben möchtest (moderner, weniger liturgischer Stil), sag Bescheid, dann ändere ich das durchgehend zurück.

You thought of me

 

 

Hier ist der korrigierte Text:

You said no word
when You went to the cross
like a lamb to the slaughter
They tortured You
they put a crown of thorns on Your head

And You thought of me in the moment of Your death
and of millions You had chosen long before the earth arose
You thought of me as a child who loves You and will follow You
on the way You have shown

The night before, You cried, You prayed: let this cup pass by
You sweated blood, but You prayed: let Your will be done

There on the cross You gave Your life
for our sins You were crucified
This hour of darkness was Your victory
for Your kingdom shall come

Die wichtigsten Korrekturen:

  • "you" → "You" (durchgehend) – Großschreibung bei Gottesbezug (wie in den vorherigen englischen Liedern konsequent gehandhabt).
  • "thornes" → "thorns" – Rechtschreibfehler.
  • "of millions you have chosen long before the earth was arisen" → "and of millions You had chosen long before the earth arose" – 1) "have chosen" (Present Perfect) passt zeitlich nicht zum vergangenen Bezugspunkt ("before the earth arose") – hier braucht es das Past Perfect "had chosen", 2) "was arisen" ist grammatisch falsch ("arise" ist intransitiv, kein Passiv möglich); korrekt ist die einfache Vergangenheitsform "arose".
  • "as a child that you love and will follow you" → "as a child who loves You and will follow You" – 1) "that" → "who" (bei Personen üblicher), 2) "you love" → "loves You" (das Kind liebt dich, nicht umgekehrt – im Original war die Beziehung unklar/vertauscht; ich interpretiere es als "ein Kind, das dich liebt und dir folgen wird"). Bitte prüfen, ob das deiner Intention entspricht.
  • "The night before you cried you prayed let this cup pass by" → "The night before, You cried, You prayed: let this cup pass by" – Kommas und Doppelpunkt zur Verdeutlichung der Satzstruktur ergänzt (sonst liest es sich wie eine ungeordnete Aneinanderreihung).
  • "You sweated blood but you prayed let your will be done." → "You sweated blood, but You prayed: let Your will be done" – Komma und Doppelpunkt ergänzt; durchgehende Großschreibung von "You/Your".
  • "for our sins you have been crucified" → "for our sins You were crucified" – "have been crucified" (Present Perfect) passt weniger gut als die einfache Vergangenheit "were crucified" für ein abgeschlossenes historisches Ereignis.

We are send to bring the Gospel





Hier ist der Text – er ist bereits weitgehend korrekt. Ich habe nur eine kleine stilistische Anmerkung:

We are sent to bring the gospel
to a dying world today,
to lift up the name of Jesus,
giving hope in despair.
We are marching on each day,
nothing can stop us now.
We resist the king of darkness,
reclaiming the earth for God.

And we proclaim
the name of Jesus.
We proclaim
His kingdom now.
We proclaim
the power of Jesus.
We proclaim His victory.

And if we fall, we will stand up.
We go on even if we are weak.
We are soldiers of the living God,
sent into a battle of life and death.

He is the living God.
He is the Lamb on the throne.
He is the Messiah.
He has paid the price for us.

Die einzige Anmerkung:

  • "conquering back the earth for God" → "reclaiming the earth for God" – "conquering back" ist keine idiomatische englische Konstruktion; "reclaim" (zurückerobern/zurückholen) drückt genau diesen Gedanken aus und klingt natürlicher. Falls du das militärische Bild von "conquering" (erobern) unbedingt beibehalten möchtest, wäre auch "reconquering the earth for God" eine Option — beides ist möglich, "reclaiming" fließt beim Singen aber etwas leichter.

Ansonsten ist der Text grammatisch sauber, Großschreibung von "He/His" bei Gottesbezug war bereits durchgehend korrekt vorhanden.


I wish you a merrily Christmas

I wish you a merrily Christmas



I wish you a merrily christmas
and a good and happy new year
I hope you have
a wonderful christmas time
and that your wishes
become true

Too many people
think on christmas on gifts
which they want to buy
for all their friends
But I want to tell you
that Christmas is more
Than parcels under a tree

It wants to remind us
on the time
when God father has given us
his own son
who lived among us
and who has solved
the whole world
from condenation

Maybe you think
every year it s the same
everyone has good wishes
but in the end
Every year goes on
in the same ways
and every year is harder
than that before

But I want to tell you
that you need do worry
you don t have to deseperate
because there is hope for you
Cause Jesus will help you
to find a new way
that is the message
of the christmas time

Heal my Heart



Heal my heart o God you have promised to restore
Everything that has been destroyend
by the power of the darkness
Save my life o Lord
From the evel which is burden me
Keep my feet on the path of your glority

Sometime I have doubts about your goodness
When I see that my life is floating away in troubles
Sometimes i am wondering Why I do not see your works
But when I change my point of view
I can see the cross where you died for me

Sometimes life is so dark and i seems the night will never end
I think I have to live forever in sickness and desesperation
But you are the Lord of time who changes everything
you have promised it
you always give a new morning after every night

And now I enter in you presence fellowshiping with you lord
I lay all my burden to the footh of the cross
Receving your gift of healing and salvation
I am waiting paciently until your promise comes true
I belive in you
