172. V živote som pravdu hľadal sám (A)

1.
V živote som pravdu hľadal sám, to prázdno v duši neuhasí sveta lesk a klam.

All my life I searched for the truth, I struggled deep inside I knew this life just wouldn't do.

2.
Žiadna útecha z ľudskej vedy, z múdrych slov, no ja som vedel, že má viacej Slova pre mňa Boh.

There was no comfort in some men's philosophy, I knew there must be more of His Word in store for me.

Refr.:
V tom zaznel Orla krik, „Poď z tade, dieťa milé, pod krídla Moje choď, do Slova vovediem ťa.

And then an eagle screamed, "Child, come out of her, I'll take you in My arms and lead you to the Word.

Refr.2:
Naučím lietať ťa, však len krídla rozprestri.“ Naplnil blahom ma Božieho Orla krik.

Come on and spread your wings I'll teach you how to fly." I've been so happy since I heard God's eagle cry.

3.
Predtým som v nevernom svete žil, nič, iba púšť, hoc hľadal som Teba zo všetkých síl.

There I was in a nest of unbelief, Another empty heart was really all I could see;

4.
Len čerstvé Slovo vie uhasiť duše smäd, keď len predivnú milosť viacej poznať by som smel.

I needed something fresh to feed my hungry soul, I felt so out of place more of His wondrous grace I had to know.
