因祢的愛 One Thing Remains

詞曲/Authors:Brian Johnson, Christa Black, Jeremy Riddle
中文譯詞:台南活水教會敬拜團

1. 越過我所面對的高山 勝過黑暗死亡的權勢
Higher than the mountains that I face, stronger than the power of the grave
在試煉中也絕不會改變 因祢的愛
Constant in the trial and the change, one thing remains

[副歌 Chorus]
祢愛永不變 永不放棄
Your love never fails, never gives up
永遠不離開我
Never runs out on me

2. 祢的愛堅定直到永遠 滿足我的靈超乎我所求
On and on and on and on it goes; it overwhelms and satisfies my soul
我永遠不需要再害怕 因祢的愛
And I never, ever, have to be afraid, one thing remains

[橋段 Bridge]
或生或死我深知祢用
In death, in life, I’m confident and
祢愛的大能 來遮蓋我
Covered by, the power of Your great love
我得赦免 再沒有事物
My debt is paid, there’s nothing that
能使我的心 與祢分開
Can separate my heart from Your great love

這首歌也被約書亞敬拜團翻譯,收錄在「亞洲為耶穌」專輯中
他們的歌名叫做「祢愛不變」,但是我比較喜歡Shine翻譯的中文版^^


更深呼求 Deep Cries Out


歌詞 Lyrics

節期的末日,就是最大之日,耶穌站著高聲說:「人若渴了,可以到我這裏來喝。信我的人就如經上所說:『從他腹中要流出活水的江河來。』」(約翰福音 7:37-38)耶穌的這句話是指著信徒將要得著所應許的聖靈這件事說的,聖靈會像活水的泉源從每一位信徒的肚腹中湧流出來,而得著這道活水江河的最大秘訣就是要來就近耶穌,與神親密的交通。而親近神的第一步就是我們必須渴慕祂!所以耶穌說:「人若渴了…」而常常我們得不著聖靈的問題就在於我們不夠飢渴;我們讓很多這世界上的人事物填滿了我們的時間、以至於我們的的心思和精力都花在這些事上,因此我們不常想到神,也不太覺得我們需要祂,我們不夠飢渴。

如果你想加深你對神的渴慕,你必須開始「挖井」,因為我們跟神相交是用我們裡面的靈人,是在人裡面的深處;詩篇的作者說人與神的交通是「深淵就與深淵響應」(詩 42:7),因此人必須進入自己的深處去攪動、汲引靈裡面的飢渴,然後把那份渴慕對準神。講起來好像很玄,可是做起來其實不會太難—就是要跟隨,而不要消滅,聖靈的感動—「若是祂往左邊走,我們就往左邊走!」若是祂跳舞,我們也跟著盡力跳舞;若是祂呼喊,我們也盡情的呼喊。

神正在呼召我們更深進入聖靈的水流裡,不要再繼續站在岸邊觀望。你還在擔心褲管濺濕嗎?祂邀請我們毫無保留地全然進入那聖靈的流裡,這是一個下水游泳的季節,岸邊步行的季節已經過去了(結47:5);別再等了,我們一起下水吧!

 

永遠掌權 Forever Reign


歌詞 Lyrics

以賽亞書9章6-7節:「 因有一嬰孩為我們而生;有一子賜給我們。政權必擔在他的肩頭上;他名稱為『奇妙策士、全能的 神、永在的父、和平的君』。他的政權與平安必加增無窮。他必在大衛的寶座上治理他的國,以公平公義使國堅定穩固,從今直到永遠。萬軍之耶和華的熱心必成就這事。」早在兩千七百多年前,耶穌出生的七百年前,先知就已經預言基督將要作王,並且掌管全地到永遠。耶穌第一次降臨在世上的時候,他雖然沒有成就這個預言,但是他對彼拉多這麼說:「你說我是王。我為此而生,也為此來到世間,特為給真理作見證。凡屬真理的人就聽我的話。」(約18:37)耶穌清楚地知道自己的命定,因此雖然即將上十字架,祂卻依然堅定地宣告自己的身份。

而耶穌昇天幾十年之後,使徒約翰領受了啟示錄的異象,啟示錄11章15節:「第七位天使吹號,天上就有大聲音說:世上的國成了我主和主基督的國;他要作王,直到永永遠遠。」所以我們的盼望不是在這個世界,而是在將要來掌權到永遠的基督耶穌裡。詩篇45篇6節:「 神啊,你的寶座是永永遠遠的;你的國權是正直的。」

Isaiah 9:6-7 reads: “For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.  Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.”  For over two thousand and seven hundred years ago, which was seven hundred years before Jesus’ birth, the prophet had prophesied that Christ will be King, and that He will reign the whole earth forever.  When Jesus first came to earth, though He didn’t fulfill the prophecy, He said these words to Pilate, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” (John 18:37)  Jesus knew clearly His own mandate, so even though He was about to go to the cross, He still declared His own identity with no waver whatsoever.

And several decades after Jesus ascended to heaven, Apostle John received the vision of Revelation; Revelation 11:15 reads, “Then the seventh angel sounded: And there were loud voices in heaven, saying, ‘The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever!'”  Therefore, our hope is not in this world, but in the soon and coming Christ Jesus who will reign forever.  “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.” (Psalm 45:6)

站立 The Stand


歌詞 Lyrics

耶穌在路加福音21:36 說:「你們要時時警醒,常常祈求,使你們能逃避這一切要來的事,得以站立在人子面前。」使徒保羅在以弗所書6:13 也說:「所以,要拿起 神所賜的全副軍裝,好在磨難的日子抵擋仇敵,並且成就了一切,還能站立得住。」

由此可見站立並不是一件理所當然的事,上面的兩節經文提醒我們,基督徒想要在末世的災難中不至跌倒必須要常常警醒守望,建立起個人禱告的生活型態,並且要時常穿戴聖靈的全副軍裝(弗6:10-18);當我們這樣作的時候,我們才能堅定站立到底。

此後,我觀看,見有許多的人,沒有人能數過來,是從各國、各族、各民、各方來的,站在寶座和羔羊面前,身穿白衣,手拿棕樹枝,大聲喊著說:「願救恩歸與坐在寶座上我們的 神,也歸與羔羊!」(啟7:9-10)

Jesus said in Luke 21:36, “Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”  And Apostle Paul also said in Ephesians 6:13, “Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.”

From these verses we gather that to stand is not something to be taken for granted.  Christians are reminded to keep watch always, to develop a lifestyle of prayer, and to put on the full armor of God if we want to keep ourselves from stumbling through the end time tribulations.  Only by taking heed of these things will we able to stand firm until the end.

After this I looked and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and in front of the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” (Rev. 7:9-10)
