English Translation of Lyrics:
Jesus hold my hand
Hear my cry when I call you
There is none like you
I praise you Jesus
I come unto you now
Take me as I am
Jesus I come unto you
Take me as I am
I humbly come unto you
And say thank you for everything given to me
And I will be ready for your return Jesus
I come unto you now
Take me as I am
Jesus I come unto you
Take me as I am

I saw this movie by coincidence 2 times on tv, the days before my mother died. Although a war movie it resonated deeply with me in this situation... especially witt, the theme around life, death and the "collateral" beauty around these aspects. I shook when he started talking about remembering the day his mother died. It felt like too much of a coincidence. When my mother died a day later on a december evening, I looked at the beautiful sunset sky above the hospital... and I became Witt. I saw it all, like he saw beyond it. I accepted it. It changed me forever and whenever I hear this song it reminds me of my transformation and the beauty in this world, and I feel grateful. Death is not only an end, it's also a beginning.

"This great evil. Where does it come from? How'd it steal into the world? What seed, what root did it grow from? Who's doin' this? Who's killin' us? Robbing us of life and light. Mockin' us with the sight of what we might've known. Does our ruin benefit the earth? Does it help the grass to grow or the sun to shine?"

Can't listen to this pure singing and not burst into tears. It gets right into my soul.

I was not surprised when I read Terrence Malick is a Harvard graduate in philosophy. Love it.

Sent off to the ugliest war, he discovers the purest world ... masterpiece

This inspired song was written in 1990 by Benjamin Tekulu, one ostudents at King George VI School in Honiara and was recorded at the SIBC studios in the same year by the KG6 King's Kids. Sony Pictures paid Benjamin a modest fee for using the song in the 1998 movie "The Thin Red Line", although obviously the song was not yet in existence in 1943 when the movie was set. Since that time the song has become popular worldwide especially with expatriate Solomon Islanders but the songwriter is largely slated as "unknown" - just thought I would correct that.

[Chadmay]

Probably the greatest movie ever made.

[jameshalleluyah]

Yeshua!!!

I listen to this again and again and again and then one more time!

[U.Boonmee]

I hope this is sang in the Kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ

[anthonycourtois]

cette musique ne peut être expliquer .... juste incroyable

[sskoog]

My [English-teacher] mother correctly pegged this film as "a poem, " exploring man, and the natural world, and the profound absurdity of war. It is far and away Malick's best work IMHO.

[ralphroe]

If a film is an entertainment, this is not a film. It is far more than a film. It is a meditation. Malick is less a filmmaker than he is high priest. And I mean this in the the most spiritual way.

[voyageruno]

Watching this movie and listening to this beautiful music in these times of hatred and fear makes me incredibly sad and lonely. Hope things will soon become better. Peace.

[richarca]

Masterpiece and the best war film of all times.

[vowelsounds]

The line separating good and evil passes not through states, nor between classes, nor between political parties either -- but right through every human heart -- and through all human hearts. This line shifts. Inside us, it oscillates with the years. And even within hearts overwhelmed by evil, one small bridgehead of good is retained

My dad went scuba diving off Guadalcanal and said the Thin Red Line does a brilliant job depicting how the natives are. Very chill and happy people. I kind of envy their life. I also love how a big theme in this movie is that the US and Japanese are effectively aliens fighting it out on this island
