那靈的工作(5)

1. 使人知罪

約翰福音 16:8-11
祂來了，就要為罪，為義，為審判，使世人知罪自責。為罪，是因他們不信入我；為義，是因我往父那裡去，你們就不再看見我；為審判，是因這世界的王受了審判。

2. 賜人發表, 用不同的語言說話

使徒行傳 2:1-4
五旬節那天到了，門徒都聚集在一處。忽然從天上有響聲下來，好像一陣暴風颳過，充滿了他們所坐的整個屋子。又有舌頭如火焰向他們顯現出來，分開落在他們各人身上，他們就都被聖靈充溢，並且按著那靈所賜的發表，用別種不同的語言說起話來。

3. 安慰

使徒行傳 9:31
那時全猶太、加利利、撒瑪利亞遍處的召會得平安，被建造，在對主的敬畏並聖靈的安慰中行動，人數就繁增了。

4. 將神的愛澆灌在心裡

羅馬書 5:5
盼望不至於蒙羞；因為神的愛已經藉著所賜給我們的聖靈，澆灌在我們心裡。

5. 治死身體的行為

羅馬書 8:13

因為你們若照肉體活著，必要死；但你們若靠著那靈治死身體的行為，必要活著。

6. 擔負軟弱, 並用嘆息代求

羅馬書 8:26-27
況且，那靈也照樣幫同擔負我們的軟弱；我們本不曉得當怎樣禱告，只是那靈親自用說不出來的嘆息，為我們代求。那鑒察人心的，曉得那靈的意思，因為祂是照著神為聖徒代求。

7. 充滿盼望

羅馬書 15:13
但願那賜盼望的神，因信將一切喜樂平安充滿你們，使你們靠聖靈的能力，充盈滿溢的有盼望。

8. 賜給各人不同的恩賜

哥林多前書 12:7-8
只是那靈的表顯賜給各人，是要叫人得益處。這人藉著那靈得了智慧的言語，那人也照同一位靈得了知識的言語，

9. 抵抗肉體

加拉太書 5:17

因為肉體縱任貪欲，抵抗那靈，那靈也抵抗肉體，二者彼此敵對，使你們不能作所願意的。

10. 全備的供應

腓立比書 1:19
因為我知道，這事藉著你們的祈求，和耶穌基督之靈全備的供應，終必叫我得救。

I have learned

• I’ve learned that it’s hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people’s feelings and standing up for what you believe.
• I’ve learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become.
• I’ve learned that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different.
• I’ve learned that no matter how much I care, some people just don’t care back;
• I’ve learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them;
• I’ve learned that maturity had more to do with experiences and what you’ve learned from them and less to do with age.
• I’ve learned that your life can be changed in a matter of hours by people who don’t even know you.

Isaac Newton’s 12 Articles on God and Christ

Artic. 1. There is one God the Father ever-living, omnipresent, omniscient, almighty, the maker of heaven and earth, and one Mediator between God and Man the Man Christ Jesus.

Artic. 2. The father is the invisible God whom no eye hath seen or can see, all other beings are sometimes visible.

Artic. 3. The Father hath life in himself and hath given the son to have life in himself.

Artic. 4. The father is omniscient and hath all knowledge originally in his own breast, and communicates knowledge of future things to Jesus Christ and none in heaven or earth or under the earth is worthy to receive knowledge of future things immediately from the father except the Lamb. And therefore the testimony of Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy and Jesus is the Word or Prophet of God.

Artic. 5. The father is immoveable no place being capable of becoming emptier or fuller of him then it is by the eternal necessity of nature: all other beings are moveable from place to place.

Artic. 6. All the worship (whether of prayer praise or thanksgiving) which was due to the father before the coming of Christ is still due to him. Christ came not to diminish the worship of his father.

Artic. 7. Prayers are most prevalent when directed to the father in the name of the son.

Artic. 8. We are to return thanks to the father alone for creating us and giving us food and raiment and other blessings of this life and whatsover we are to thank him for or desire that he would do for us we ask of him immediately in the name of Christ.

Artic. 9. We need not pray to Christ to intercede for us. If we pray the father aright he will intercede.

Artic. 10. It is not necessary to salvation to direct our prayers to any other than the father in the name of the Son

Artic. 11. To give the name of God to Angels or Kings is not against the first commandment. To give the worship of the God of the Jews to Angels or Kings is against it. The meaning of the commandment is Thou shalt worship no other Gods but me.

Artic. 12. To us there is but one God the father of whom are all things and we of him, and one Lord Jesus Christ by whom are all things and we by him. That is, we are to worship the father alone as God Almighty and Jesus alone as the Lord the Messiah the great King the Lamb of God who was slain and hath redeemed us with his blood and made us kings and Priests.

主, 你居所何等可愛 (詩歌615首)

1.
主，你居所何等可愛！我心渴慕你的院宇！
切望得到你的同在，我的心腸向你呼籲。

2.
在你祭壇所在之處，並你香壇所在之所，
麻雀找著可居房屋，燕子找著菢雛之窩。

3.
微弱雖如麻雀、燕子，住在你殿，便為有福！
憑著祭壇贖罪價值，享受香壇所有好處。

4.
因著靠你而有力量，前途險阻毫不思顧，
錫安大道心中想往，如此之人，便為有福。

5.
雖經巴迦，流淚之谷，亦使變成泉源之地，
並且蓋滿秋雨之福，成為路中福分之一。

6.
他們行走，力上加力，要到錫安朝見主神；
如此尋求你的自己，也需你來垂顧賜恩。

7.
在你院宇一日之留，勝住別處千日之久，
寧在你殿看門守候，不在惡人帳棚住留。

8.
你是日頭，你是盾牌，你要賜下恩惠、榮耀，
以你自己和你同在，滿足我的一切需要。

9.
你未留下一樣好處，不給行動正直的人；
倚靠你的，便為有福，必得恩惠、榮耀無盡。

84:10　在你的院宇住一日，勝似在別處住千日；我寧願站在我神殿的門檻，也不願住在惡人的帳棚裡。
84:11　因為耶和華神是日頭，是盾牌；耶和華賜下恩典和榮耀；祂未嘗留下一樣好處，不給那些行動正直的人。
84:12　萬軍之耶和華阿，信靠你的人，便為有福。

Some quotes on sciecne and spirituality

The person who thinks there can be any real conflict between science and religion must be either very young in science or very ignorant of religion.”
– Joseph Henry, American physicist

Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion. God governs all things and knows all that is or can be done.

This most beautiful system of the sun, planets, and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent Being. [...] This Being governs all things, not as the soul of the world, but as Lord over all; and on account of his dominion he is wont to be called “Lord God” παντοκρατωρ [pantokratōr], or “Universal Ruler”. [...] The Supreme God is a Being eternal, infinite, [and] absolutely perfect.

Opposition to godliness is atheism in profession and idolatry in practice. Atheism is so senseless and odious to mankind that it never had many professors.
-Isaac Newton

I may say that in my opinion true Science and true Religion neither are nor could be opposed.”
– Sir John William Strutt, Lord Rayleigh

Science is not only compatible with spirituality; it is a profound source of spirituality. When we recognize our place in an immensity of light‐years and in the passage of ages, when we grasp the intricacy, beauty, and subtlety of life, then that soaring feeling, that sense of elation and humility combined, is surely spiritual. So are our emotions in the presence of great art or music or literature, or acts of exemplary selfless courage such as those of Mohandas Gandhi or Martin Luther King, Jr. The notion that science and spirituality are somehow mutually exclusive does a disservice to both.
– Carl Sagan

Every one who is seriously involved in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the Universe-a spirit vastly superior to that of man, and one in the face of which we with our modest powers must feel humble.
– Albert Einstein

“As a blind man has no idea of colors, so we have no idea of the manner by which the all-wise God perceives and understands all things.”
- Isaac Newton

The human mind is not capable of grasping the Universe. We are like a little child entering a huge library. The walls are covered to the ceilings with books in many different tongues. The child knows that someone must have written these books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. But the child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books—a mysterious order which it does not comprehend, but only dimly suspects.
– Albert Einstein

Science and religion are two windows that people look through, trying to understand the big universe outside, trying to understand why we are here. The two windows give different views, but both look out at the same universe. Both views are one-sided, neither is complete. Both leave out essential features of the real world. And both are worthy of respect.
- Freeman Dyson

A legitimate conflict between science and religion cannot exist. Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.
- Albert Einstein

Top 5 regrets of the dying

Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly. Choose happiness.

For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives. People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality.

I learnt never to underestimate someone’s capacity for growth. Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety of emotions, as expected, denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and eventually acceptance. Every single patient found their peace before they departed though, every one of them.

When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again. Here are the most common five:

I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.

This was the most common regret of all. When people realize that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made.

It is very important to try and honour at least some of your dreams along the way. From the moment that you lose your health, it is too late. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it.

I wish I didn’t work so hard.

This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children’s youth and their partner’s companionship. Women also spoke of this regret. But as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence.

By simplifying your lifestyle and making conscious choices along the way, it is possible to not need the income that you think you do. And by creating more space in your life, you become happier and more open to new opportunities, ones more suited to your new lifestyle.

I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.

Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result.

We cannot control the reactions of others. However, although people may initially react when you change the way you are by speaking honestly, in the end it raises the relationship to a whole new and healthier level. Either that or it releases the unhealthy relationship from your life. Either way, you win.

I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.

Often they would not truly realise the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses their friends when they are dying.

It is common for anyone in a busy lifestyle to let friendships slip. But when you are faced with your approaching death, the physical details of life fall away. People do want to get their financial affairs in order if possible. But it is not money or status that holds the true importance for them. They want to get things in order more for the benefit of those they love. Usually though, they are too ill and weary to ever manage this task. It is all comes down to love and relationships in the end.

That is all that remains in the final weeks, love and relationships.

I wish that I had let myself be happier.

This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realise until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called ‘comfort’ of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content. When deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again. When you are on your deathbed, what  others think of you is a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long before you are dying.

Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, choose honestly. Choose happiness.

9 Søren Kierkegaard’s quotes on life

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

A paradox. life can only be understood backwards but it must be lived forward.

Face the facts of being what you are, for that is what changes what you are.

The most common form of despair is not being who you are.

I see it all perfectly; there are two possible situations — one can either do this or that. My honest opinion and my friendly advice is this: do it or do not do it — you will regret both.

A man who as a physical being is always turned toward the outside, thinking that his happiness lies outside him, finally turns inward and discovers that the source is within him.

Listen to the cry of a woman in labor at the hour of giving birth — look at the dying man’s struggle at his last extremity, and then tell me whether something that begins and ends thus could be intended for enjoyment.

Love is the expression of the one who loves, not of the one who is loved. Those who think they can love only the people they prefer do not love at all. Love discovers truths about individuals that others cannot see.

There is nothing everyone is so afraid of as being told how vastly much he is capable of. You are capable of – do you want to know? – you are capable of living in poverty; you are capable of standing almost any kind of maltreatment, abuse, etc. But you do not wish to know about it, isn’t that so? You would be furious with him who told you so, and only call that person your friend who bolsters you in saying: ‘No, this I cannot bear, this is beyond my strength, etc.

無惧

罗马书-Romans 8:15
你们所受的不是奴役的灵，仍旧害怕；所受的乃是儿子名分的灵，在这灵里，我们呼叫：阿爸，父。
For you have not received a spirit of slavery bringing you into fear again, but you have received a spirit of sonship in which we cry, Abba, Father!

希伯来书-Hebrews 2:14-15
儿女既同有血肉之体，祂也照样亲自有分于血肉之体，为要藉着死，废除那掌死权的，就是魔鬼，并要释放那些一生因怕死而受挟于奴役的人。
Since therefore the children have shared in blood and flesh, He also Himself in like manner partook of the same, that through death He might destroy him who has the might of death, that is, the devil, And might release those who because of the fear of death through all their life were held in slavery.

希伯来书-Hebrews 13:6
所以我们放胆说，“主是帮助我的，我必不惧怕；人能把我怎么样？”
So that being of good courage, we say, “The Lord is my Helper, and I will not fear. What shall man do to me?”

约翰一书-1 John 4:18
爱里没有惧怕，完全的爱把惧怕驱除，因为惧怕含有刑罚，惧怕的人在爱里未得成全。
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear because fear has punishment, and he who fears has not been perfected in love.

思念神

歌羅西書 3:2
你們要思念在上面的事，不要思念在地上的事。

1. 思念神

馬太福音 16:23
祂卻轉過來，對彼得說，撒但，退我後面去罷！你是絆跌我的，因為你不思念神的事，只思念人的事。

馬可福音 8:33
耶穌轉過身來，看著門徒，責備彼得說，撒但，退我後面去罷！因為你不思念神的事，只思念人的事。

2. 思念基督所思念的

腓立比書 2:5
你們裏面要思念基督耶穌裏面所思念的：

3. 思念那靈的事

羅馬書 8:5
因為照著肉體的人，思念肉體的事；照著靈的人，思念那靈的事。

4. 思念取得基督為獎賞

腓立比書 3:12-15
這不是說，我已經得著了，或已經完全了，我乃是竭力追求，或者可以取得基督耶穌所以取得我的。弟兄們，我不是以為自己已經取得了，我只有一件事，就是忘記背後，努力面前的，向著標竿竭力追求，要得神在基督耶穌裡，召我向上去得的獎賞。所以我們凡是長成的人，都要思念這事；你們若思念任何別的事，神也必將這事啟示你們。

A short prayer

Oh Lord Jesus!
I call upon Your sweet name.
How I love and need You.
Lord, I praise for who You are.
I thank for what you have done.

Grant me a pure heart.
Teach me to be empty.
Cleanse my inner being.
Clear my mind and thoughts
Crucify my self and natural man.

I want to touch You
in every meeting I go
in every prayer I make
in every fellowship I partake
in every hymn I sing
in verse I read.

You are my Goal and my Center,
My King, my Master, my Lord,
My Reality, my Light, my Truth,
My Road, my Stand, my Land,
My Strength, my Wisdom, my Power,
My Joy, my Supply, my Destiny.

Lord, forgive my offenses
Refresh my heavenly vision
Grant me a new beginning
Draw me once more
I shall run after You.

Amen.

Amazing Grace by John Newton

Amazing grace how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
’tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.

Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil
A life of joy and peace.

When I’ve been there a thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
I’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
than when I’ve first begun.

“Amazing Grace,” one of the most recognizable songs in the English-speaking world, is a Christian hymn with words written by John Newton (1725–1807), published in 1779.

Newton wrote the words from personal experience. He grew up without any particular religious conviction but his life’s path was formed by a variety of twists and coincidences that were often put into motion by his recalcitrant insubordination. He was pressed into the Royal Navy and became a sailor, eventually participating in the slave trade. One night a terrible storm battered his vessel so severely that he became frightened enough to call out to God for mercy, a moment that marked the beginning of his spiritual conversion. His career in slave trading lasted a few years more until he quit going to sea altogether and began studying theology.

Ordained in the Church of England in 1764, Newton became curate of Olney, Buckinghamshire, where he began to write hymns with poet William Cowper. “Amazing Grace” was written to illustrate a sermon on New Year’s Day of 1773. It is unknown if there was any music accompanying the verses, and it may have been chanted by the congregation without music. It debuted in print in 1779 in Newton and Cowper’s Olney Hymns, but settled into relative obscurity in England. In the United States however, “Amazing Grace” was used extensively during the Second Great Awakening in the early 19th century. It has been associated with more than 20 melodies, but in 1835 it was joined to a tune named “New Britain” to which it is most frequently sung today.

-

Author Gilbert Chase writes that “Amazing Grace” is “without a doubt the most famous of all the folk hymns”, and Jonathan Aitken, a Newton biographer, estimates that it is performed about 10 million times annually. It has had particular influence in folk music, and become an emblematic African American spiritual. Its universal message has been a significant factor in its crossover into secular music. “Amazing Grace” saw a resurgence in popularity in the U.S. during the 1960s and has been recorded thousands of times during and since the 20th century, sometimes appearing on popular music charts.

箴言中才德的婦人

箴言 12:4
才德的婦人是丈夫的冠冕；貽羞的婦人，如同丈夫骨中的朽爛。

箴言 18:22
得著妻子的，是得著好處，也是蒙了耶和華的恩惠。

箴言 19:14
房屋錢財是祖宗所遺留的，惟有賢慧的妻子是耶和華所賜的。

箴言
31:10 才德的婦人誰能得著呢？她的價值遠勝過珠寶。
31:11 她丈夫心裏倚靠她，必不缺少利益。
31:12 她一生的日子使丈夫有益無損。

31:13 她尋找羊毛和麻，樂意親手作工。
31:14 她好像商船從遠方運糧來，
31:15 天還黑她就起來，把食物分給家中的人，將當作的工分派婢女。
31:16 她想得田地就買來；用手所得的成果，栽種葡萄園。
31:17 她以能力束腰，使膀臂有力。
31:18 她檢試自作的商品，確定都是好的；她的燈終夜不滅。
31:19 她手拿撚線竿，手握紡線錘。
31:20 她張手賙濟困苦人，伸手幫補窮乏人。
31:21 她不因下雪為家裏的人擔心，因為全家都穿著朱紅衣服。
31:22 她為自己製作毯子；她的衣服是細麻和紫色布作的。
31:23 她丈夫在城門口與本地的長老同坐，為眾人所認識。
31:24 她作細麻布衣裳出賣，又將腰帶供給商家。

31:25 能力和威儀是她的衣服，她想到日後的景況就喜笑。
31:26 她開口就發智慧，她舌上有慈愛的法則。
31:27 她觀察家務，並不喫閒飯。

31:28 她的兒女起來稱她有福；她的丈夫也稱讚她，說，
31:29 行事有才德的女子很多，惟獨你超過眾人。
31:30 豔麗是虛假的，美容是虛浮的；惟敬畏耶和華的婦女，必得稱讚。
31:31 願她得著親手操勞的果效，願她的工作使她在城門口得稱讚。

那絆跌人的有禍了

馬太福音 18:6-7
凡絆跌一個信入我的小子的，倒不如把大磨石掛在他的脖子上，沉沒在深海裡。世界因著絆跌人的事有禍了；絆跌人的事是免不了的，但那絆跌人的有禍了。

馬可福音 9:42
凡絆跌一個信入我的小子的，倒不如把大磨石套在他的脖子上，把他扔在海裡。

路加福音 17:1-4
耶穌又對門徒說，要使絆跌人的事不發生是不可能的，但那絆跌人的有禍了。就是把磨石套在這人的脖子上，丟在海裡，還強如他把這小子裡的一個絆跌了。你們要小心，若是你的弟兄犯了罪，就責備他；他若悔改，就赦免他。若是他一天七次得罪你，又七次回轉，對你說，我悔改了，你總要赦免他。

羅馬書 14:19-21
所以我們務要追求和平的事，以及彼此建造的事。不可因食物拆毀神的工程。凡物固然潔淨，但人喫了，以致成了絆腳石，就是他的惡了。無論是喫肉，是喝酒，或是甚麼別的絆跌你弟兄的事，一概不作纔好。

羅馬書 16:17
弟兄們，那些造成分立和絆跌之事，違反你們所學之教訓的人，我懇求你們要留意，並要避開他們。

哥林多前書 8:8-13
其實食物不能將我們薦與神，因為我們不喫也無虧缺，喫也無盈超。只是你們要謹慎，恐怕你們這權利，竟成了那軟弱人的絆腳石。若有人見你這有知識的，在偶像的廟裡坐席，這人既是軟弱的，他的良心豈不放膽去喫那祭偶像之物麼？因此，基督為他死的那軟弱弟兄，也就被你的知識敗壞了。你們這樣得罪弟兄們，傷了他們軟弱的良心，就是得罪基督。所以食物若真絆跌我的弟兄，我就絕不喫肉直到永遠，免得絆跌我的弟兄。

哥林多後書 6:3-9
我們凡事都不使人絆跌，免得這職事被人挑剔，… ，藉著榮耀和羞辱，藉著惡名和美名，證薦自己是神的執事；似乎是迷惑人的，卻是真誠的；似乎不為人所知，卻是人所共知的；似乎在死，看哪，我們卻活著；似乎受管教，卻不被治死；似乎憂愁，卻常常喜樂；似乎貧窮，卻叫許多人富足；似乎一無所有，卻擁有萬有。

哥林多後書 11:29
有誰軟弱，我不軟弱？有誰絆跌，我不焦急？

約翰一書 2:9-10
那說自己在光中，卻恨他弟兄的，到如今還是在黑暗裡。那愛他弟兄的，就住在光中，在他並沒有絆跌的緣由；

Whose are the fathers, and out of whom, as regards what is according to flesh, is the Christ, who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen.

2. 神的儿子

Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak from Myself, but the Father who abides in Me does His works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; but if not, believe because of the works themselves.

That they all may be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us; that the world may believe that You have sent Me. And the glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, even as We are one; I in them, and You in Me, that they may be perfected into one, that the world may know that You have sent Me and have loved them even as You have loved Me.

我今俯伏主面前

我今俯伏主面前，我希奇主恩典！
像我這樣的罪魁，主竟拯救歸回！
我本罪人貪世福，那裡想到要主；
為何無端來尋我，用愛把我圍著。

當時我心因罪惡，糾纏得真難過，
但我並未求解脫，你卻前來尋我！
當時我雖聽見你，但我總是不理，
並且多次反對你，實是你的仇敵。

我實不知為何故，你竟為我罪辜，
釘死在十字架上，使我得著平康！
我的罪惡比人多，我為肉體活著，
我的性情比人壞，你為甚麼要愛？

你生馬槽何寒微！你的生活何卑！
你到加略受折磨！你的全是為我！
你在何處看上我？為何又愛上我？
所以纔如此受苦，為要使我得福？

我比別人有何長？有何比人高尚？
因此使你離天上，為我十架命喪？
主阿，當我想自己，實在無一可以
邀你青眼，使你喜，我就只得希奇！

無他，我今只能說：你是無故愛我！
哦，你是無故愛我！哦，這恩真難說！
哦，不是因自己好，不是因自己高，
乃是你要愛罪魁，無故的愛罪魁！

我既如此的蒙恩，自然應當認真
愛你、念你、順服你，纔可對得住你；
但是，可憐到如今 我心仍冷如冰！
雖然明知你恩、愛，仍是對你懈怠！

你雖為我捨性命，我對你仍無情；
你雖為我離天庭，我對你只半心。
隱藏世界離不得，你道路嫌太窄！
微小自己捨不得，你生命苦太默！

當我想到這裡時，我心若有所失，
自恨性情太敗壞，自恨生活太歹。
但是，主，你豈不知 我心將要如此！
你既豫知我冷淡，當初何必恩湛？

難道你為我捨命，擔當痛苦、罪、病，
受盡人世的艱辛，就是為此冷心！
你既知道我如此，何苦為我受死？
你既知道我無良，何竟為我受傷？

你雖豫知我冷淡，對你刻變時翻，
但你仍然要愛我，為我死，為我活。
當我想到這樣愛，不知淚從何來，
滿心感激我救主，希奇你的無故！

主阿，對於你大愛，我真明白不來，
一面我希奇不迨，一面我要敬拜；
天上福樂雖無比，我心並不在彼，
我愛作個唱詩人，讚美我主我神。

在那光明榮耀中，我要不住稱頌，
我要感謝你恩、愛，我要永遠敬拜。
我望我能在天城，作主恩、愛標本，
愛雖難答，恩難報，惟願讚美得好！

魂牽夢縈 朝思暮想

神阿，你是我的神，我切切的尋求你。
我的身切慕你, 如在乾旱疲乏無水之地。(詩篇 63:1)
我的魂渴想你，如鹿切慕溪水，(42:1, 143:6)
我的靈, 我的心腸渴想你，以至於耗盡。(143:7, 約伯記 19:27)

我的心腸，我的肉體，向你呼籲。
我的魂羨慕，渴想你的院宇；(詩篇 84:2)
我的魂因渴想你的救恩以致衰竭；(119:81)
我的眼因盼望你的話語以致昏矇；(119:82)

神阿，我在急難之中呼求；(69:17)
你掩面不顧要到幾時呢？(13:1)
求你應允我, 不要向我掩面；(69:17, 143:7)
求你向我側耳, 回轉眷顧我。(69:16, 102:2)

神阿，我向你伸開雙手禱告，
求你按豐盛的憐恤，聽我的禱告；
求你使我清晨得聽你的慈愛，因我信靠你。(詩篇 143:8)
求你使我知道當行的道路，因我的魂仰望你。(143:8)

神阿，我的魂渴想你，就是活神。
我幾時纔可以來朝見你呢？(詩篇 42:2)
我自己要見你，要親眼看你。(約伯記 19:27)
願我的呼求達到你那裏。(詩篇 102:1)

阿們。

哦，願我有千萬舌頭

假若我有千萬的心，也當一一歸你。

哦，願我有千萬舌頭

• 哦，願我有千萬舌頭，前來讚美救主；
  說祂恩典何等深厚，榮耀何等豐富。
• 耶穌這名，慰我心情，驅盡我的驚怯；
  是我安息，是我生命，成為我的音樂。
• 祂因愛我，竟願經歷人世所有苦楚；
  打破罪的捆綁能力，釋放罪的囚徒。
• 我每靜念救我的愛，立即感覺不配；
  不知祂為甚麼恩待我這人中罪魁。
• 我今作祂愛的俘虜，甘心作到永久；
  因祂為受死、受辱，使我得以自由。
• 我既從你可愛的名，知你待我美意；
  假若我有千萬的心，也當一一歸你。

O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing

1. O for a thousand tongues to sing My great Redeemer’s praise,
   The glories of my God and King,The triumphs of His grace.
2. My gracious Master and my God,Assist me to proclaim,
   To spread through all the earth abroad,The honors of Thy name.
3. Jesus! the name that charms our fears,That bids our sorrows cease;
   ‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears,’Tis life, and health, and peace.
4. His love my heart has captive made,His captive would I be,
   For He was bound, and scourged and died,My captive soul to free.
5. He breaks the power of canceled sin,He sets the prisoner free;
   His blood can make the foulest clean;His blood availed for me.
6. So now Thy blessed Name I love,Thy will would e’er be mine.
   Had I a thousand hearts to give,My Lord, they all were Thine!
