make me strong - sami yusuf

I know I’m waiting
Waiting for something
Something to happen to me
But this waiting comes with
Trials and challenges
Nothing in life is free

I wish that somehow
You’d tell me out aloud
That on that day I’ll be ok
But we’ll never know cause
That’s not the way it works
Help me find my way

My Lord show me right from wrong
Give me light make me strong
I know the road is long
Make me strong
Sometimes it just gets too much
I feel that I’ve lost touch
I know the road is long
Make me strong

I know I’m waiting
Yearning for something
Something known only to me
This waiting comes with
Trials and challenges
Life is one mystery

I wish that somehow
You’d tell me out aloud
That on that day you’ll forgive me
But we’ll never know cause
That’s not the way it works
I beg for your mercy

My Lord show me right from wrong
Give me light make me strong
I know the road is long
Make me strong
Sometimes it just gets too much
I feel that I’ve lost touch
I know the road is long
Make me strong

kesenangan menipu

menjelang fajar aku dibangunkan untuk menghamba
setan pun berkata: "Sebentar lagi!"
dibiarkanlah pilihan nafsu yang tak kenal kesusahan
mataku perih sebab mentari sudahlah tinggi

sedikit saja memberi peluang kesenangan semu
lalailah pendekatan atas kesempatan yang diberikan

nyatalah bahwa aku belum mengerti tentang kesungguhan
di dunia jangan mengikuti kesenangan seperti itu!
Ya Allah, maafkanlah aku atas kebodohanku...
