充滿上帝氣息的敬拜

我是首次在嬰兒奉獻禮中如此感動。

敬拜開始，唱了一首讚美詩，牧師走到台前邀請奉獻孩子的家庭到台前。 第一對奉獻孩子的是一對非洲裔夫婦，小嬰孩一頭卷髮，厚厚的嘴唇，鼻子寬寬的，穿了一件鮮黃的襯衫和牛仔褲，是很典型的非洲族人的模樣，牧師問媽媽可以抱抱他嗎？孩子在牧者手中，他愛不惜手，讓我們會眾也看看這個可愛寶貝，那個畫面充滿了愛，我坐在哪兒好像看見了耶穌抱著一個小孩。他為這團軟綿綿的初生嬰孩祝福祈禱後在他額上親吻了一下，父母臉上充滿了恩惠。

有一對中年夫婦帶著一個大概五歲兒子與其他的兩個家庭一同作嬰兒奉獻。我心想兒子已經五歲了，現在才奉獻嗎？夫婦二人大概也五十歲了吧，丈夫是美國白人，妻子是亞裔，孩子卻帶點西班牙族的特徵。母親臉上一直掛著幸福的笑容看著兒子，牧師才走到他們面前，小傢伙已急不及待往牧師的懷裡跳，大大的擁抱著牧師的脖子，腿也緊緊扣緊牧師的身體，有一個小姐隨他們一同來到台前講說這個孩子的事。他本來無父無母，是一個被遺棄的孩子。孩子寄養在這一對夫婦家裡，經過有關機構與政府審查，在四十四個月後的今天，他們正式合法成為孩子的父母親。牧師擁著孩子祝福祈禱，喊了一句：「主呀！」就哽咽了。雖然一片寂靜無聲卻充滿了愛。

在耶穌裡，有希望。被遺棄的可再得到被愛的權利。敬拜繼續，牧師領會眾清唱三一頌，歌頌神的大愛！在敬拜上帝的殿裡充滿了心靈誠實的讚美敬拜。

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; 

Praise him, all creatures here below; 

Praise him above, ye heavenly host; 

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

When I Think About the Lord

Worship is all about Jesus. The worship from the beginning til the end is an 'AMEN' experience, my soul, heart and spirit being called, attracted, led and synchronized altogether from scattered pieces for solely one purpose, worship Jesus.  I am once again being led before HIS throne by the spirit to worship the Lord.  How amazing is God's love, when I think about the Lord, how He saved me, how He raised me, how He filled me, healed me, picked me up, turned me around and placed my feet on solid ground, the innermost of my being can't withheld the gratitude outflow to shout Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Jesus the Lord of all, I am unworthy for His love, but He loves me!  He, who is the head of all churches, Jesus is worthy of praise! The Lord God, who is, and was, and who is to come!

Jesus is the key to everything, He is the center of our lives, the reason to live and our dear friend, companion to walk this earthly path.  When 'WE', the church, His body, being reminded to think about the Lord, for who He is in our lives, for all the good times and even the bad times, He is Lord! The worship is corporate and as well so personal! 在大水之中，衪仍坐著為王!  此刻我靈歌唱! 觸動我們的，不是音樂，也不是人的表演，而是耶穌，那真誠的靈!　衪在我們各人生命中做過一切的美好，陪伴我們走的那一段路，那段每逢想起也只有我和耶穌 會會心微笑的獨有經歷。歌曲完畢，禱告結束，老的，嫩的，男的，女的，都悄然拭去感恩的淚，我們都同感一靈，經歷有異，主愛卻是相同。牧師祝福差派我們出去，心中感覺好想，也有勇氣、信心，我可以因為主的愛，再做好一點點。

今天的敬拜實在太豐富了！

When I Think about the Lord,
How He saved me, how He raised me,
How He filled me, with the Holy Ghost.
How He healed me, to the uttermost.
When I Think about the Lord,
How He picked me up and turned me around,
How He placed my feet on solid ground

It makes me wanna shout,
Hallelujah,
Thank you JESUS,
LORD, your worthy, of all the glory, and all the honor,
And all the praise... (Repeat*)
