Chapter 8

Set me like a seal on your heart,
like a seal on your arm.

For love is strong as death.
Love is like a fire, a mighty flame.

No flood can quench love.
No torrents can drown it.

Money cannot buy love.

把我如印記放在你心上,
如印記放在你臂上。

因為愛如死之堅定。
愛像一把火,一個烈焰。

沒有洪水能熄滅愛,
沒有急流能淹沒它。

金錢不能買到愛。

Lord, please fill my heart with your love

主,請把我的心注滿你的愛
