What’s the use? There is no hope for me

1
What’s the use? There is no hope for me,
Deep inside just fear and misery.
Man’s enslaved by this haunting melody—
Everything, my friend, is temporary.
  There is an answer: a wonderful Person!
He’s Jesus the Lord; He’s God’s beloved Son!
This wonderful Person is now your solution.
Just take and receive Him; He’s God’s Firstborn Son!

Day by day, I tried to stop this song.
What is it? There must be something wrong...
Oh! This life is just a hopelessness!
Always searching, but tasting emptiness.
  There is an answer: a wonderful Person!
He’s Jesus the Lord; He’s God’s beloved Son!
This wonderful Person is now your solution.
Just take and receive Him; He’s God’s Firstborn Son!

All day long you play the “same ole song”:
“Good morning”, “How are you?”, “No, there is nothing wrong.”
You’re swept by the world of deceptive vanity,
A tide looking good, but it’s void of reality.
  Just call “Oh Lord Jesus”: the truth you’re confessing
That God raised this Jesus from among the dead.
Your heart this believing, just call to receive Him.
He’s Jesus the Savior, your great salvation.
4
You’re conformed to unreality,
Trapped in a wheel of human anxiety.
You are caught, you’re in the web already.
You’re spun to this song: you’re just the spider’s prey.
  Jesus crushed the devil and overcame evil.
That kingdom He leveled and destroyed the devil.
He will free you from sin, from death, world and Satan.
Just call “Oh Lord Jesus” and He will enter in.
5
Life is a song as a time hour glass,
Sand by sand, my friend it cannot last.
You’re born, you live, and eventually you die.
Friend, you can’t change it, no need to even try.
  There is a new song, a wonderful Person!
He’s Jesus the Lord, He’s God’s beloved Son!
This wonderful Person is now your solution!
Just take and receive Him; He’s God’s Firstborn Son!

When I hear this song I'm really impressed by the word that everything is temporary. This makes me to renew my consecration before the Lord.

I really feel good whenever I hear this song. It just reminds me of a very fruitful training experience in the southern Philippines. I wish to go back there soon and enjoy again the riches of Christ with the saints. Amen.

可惜这首歌没有制作成唱片~

我试试翻译:

有何用处?眼前尽是绝望,

深处充满惧怕痛苦。

这支旋律征服、萦绕着我,

我的朋友,所有,都是过眼云烟。

那里有一个答案:一个奇妙的人位!

祂是主耶稣,是神爱子!

这奇妙人位是你的拯救。

尽管抓住并接受祂,祂是神首生的儿子!

This song expresses the thoughts that we all have, how plain and weary life is. And that there is a Savior and He lives in us!

I've never heard this song before but the words really touched me. Lately I've been feeling exactly what this song is about how life is just so wearisome sometimes, but praise the Lord! There's a solution! He crushed the devil's head and He can save us from every situation!
