喜出望外

大概十多年前在教會參加一個聖誕的音樂劇，這些年來都偶爾會想起其中的歌曲。前幾個禮拜在禱告是否要參加短宣時，有一句歌詞不斷重複在我的腦海裡。

Mary’s song:
“My heart is filled with joy, how can this be? That God would choose a servant girl like me? To bring the one long awaited one, and I will be the mother of God’s son. Oh Lord, my God! How wonderful thou art. To make a world and satisfy men’s heart. I fail to comprehend it all somehow. Oh Mighty God how wonderful art thou…”

口中一唱，心中就感動了。不能不承認是主的呼召。又加上看見先前患上癌病的領隊在年老的日子仍義不容辭的要在有生之年趕緊為主作工，我還有什麼的藉口不去嗎？感謝主！我還可以為衪而去。

更感恩的是在網上找了好久也找不到那個聖誕的音樂劇的CD，居然在香港的友人尋索下找到了。雖然只是卡式帶的拷貝，心裡卻非常感恩。更為感動的是親愛的組長，為我把卡式帶的拷貝轉為數碼的拷貝。這樣的安排還不是天父的好安排嗎？

昨天在車子裡聽的時候，心裡感動的眼睛都流淚了。
神的愛，人怎麼可以不感動呢？
人對神的順服又怎可以不帶著掙扎呢？
走屬天的道路有時會昂首闊步，有時卻腳步蹣跚，可是心裡不會不感謝主在路上碰到的一切。
天父的帶領和安排總是讓人喜出望外的！

Joseph’s song:
“Lord you know my love for Mary, and you know the plan we’ve made.
But the news she brings confuses me, Lord, I am afraid.
It’s hard for me to understand, just what you have install.
And why you choose a carpenter like me to raise the Lord of Lords.
Oh… I will love Him, give me faith to trust Your plan.
I will love Him, help my heart to understand.
I will never be ashamed, though people may condemn for this child does not belong to me…
but I belong to Him.

Lord you know my ability, where I am weak and where I am strong.
And I will try my very best, there is time when I am wrong.
So Lord I ask for wisdom and I pray that I can be…
A father, to Your only son. And that he clearly see,
and I will love him. Give me faith to trust your plan, I will love Him.
(My soul praises the Lord. My soul praises the Lord, the Lord…)
Help my heart to understand.
(My spirit rejoices… My soul praises the Lord)
I will never be ashamed though people may condemn for this child does not belong to me…
but I…. belong to Him.

I fail to comprehend it all somehow… oh mighty God… how wonderful art Thou…
Oh Lord my God, how wonderful thou art. To make world and satisfy men’s heart. I fail to comprehend it all somehow… oh mighty God, how wonderful art thou…
Oh mighty God, how wonderful art Thou…. “
