雲上太陽
無論是住在美麗的高山，
或是躺臥在陰暗的幽谷；
當你抬起頭， 你將會發現，
主已為你我而預備。
雲上太陽， 它總不改變，
雖然小雨灑在臉上，
雲上太陽， 它總不改變，
哈！ 它不改變。
主已為你我而預備。

We Speak Your Name
We Speak Your Name
by Nelson
What is it that we do,
when our world comes crashing in?
Life is hard, it seems
that there is no end
When our heart is torn, our faith is worn
and friends are hard to find
We speak Your Name, O Precious Lord
You bring peace of mind
We speak Your Name
We speak Your Name
In times of joy,
in times of pain
We speak Your Name
We speak Your Name
In sunshine or rain
We speak Your Name
The doctor gives no hope
“we’ve done all we can do”
Times are hard, money’s short
and the bills are due
When your strength is gone, the days seem long
you feel like giving in
Just speak the Name of our God
You’ll find strength in Him
My Rock, my Shield, my Hiding Place,
My boundless store of grace
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
My Savior & my Friend
Immortal Invisible God
Immortal Invisible God
by Laura Story
Immortal, You are not are like a man
That you change your mind
or change your plan
Invisible, our human eyes can't see
The Depths of your majesty
You're the God of forever and ever amen
The alpha, omega, beginning and end
We sing hallelujah
We worship in awe
Immortal, invisible God
Immortal, You are not bound by death
You're the living God, my very breath
Invisible you are not bound by space
But your glory is filling this place
Yes your glory is filling this place
Immortal yet you once died for me,
to pay my debt to set me free
Invisible you will not always be
Cause you’re coming to reign as our king
And the saints will fall down at your feet

擁抱夕陽
回程時走在六十號的公路上，看著夕陽，又大又美，好想要把這一刻拍下來。待有機會停在交通燈時，夕陽已經西沉變小了。人生可以錯過的事情實在太多、太輕易。因為會錯過，所以更珍惜。站在人生的這一個點，我好像看懂了甚麼，卻又糊亂了甚麼，昨天在我懷裡摟著的是一個牙牙學語、蹣跚學步的小女孩；今天我擁抱著一個屢受癌症折騰、求生力弱的人，隻字片語難以啟齒。
摟著在疼痛的人，我不知道可以說點甚麼，她在我身上哭了，眼淚把說不出來的，從身體裡釋放出來，成了言語。撫著她的臉，我不由自主的說「I Love You」，我也濕潤了眼睛。有時候一個擁抱更能表達關懷，我真心的相信，這不是我的愛，而是主的。看著她在疼痛中安睡了，我心裡多感恩神。

夕陽也好或是剛摟在懷裡的人也好，生命終究是短暫的，但不放棄便是對它的尊重。愛，可以帶我們走得更遠。

初老症狀
昨天碰到第一次相識的人，談起台劇來，一說到「我可能不會愛你」，都不約而同地很認同這五十項初老症狀。今天再重看一遍，真該死，超過90%正中。

時間將一切安撫了
最近每天的禱告都離不開身邊或在遠方病患的親友們。我不知將來會如何，我更不知道神的計劃是怎樣。疾病帶走了我們愛的人，也有纏苦了他們的。「愛莫能助」的感覺很不陌生。我只有做的和可以做的就是祈禱。這點我僅餘的愛和力量，我樂意輸送。
一天營營役役歡暢快樂，回家後心裡面總有掛念的人，難以入睡。早上起得又特別早，站在清晨的天空下，不禁仰天長嘆，呼出整夜沉澱過後鬱悶焦悴的心情，那一串說不出來的嘆息。換著是平時起床的鐘數就已經衝衝開車上班，這些日子腳步閒暇了不少，凝視雲朵變動轉色，天空微微光亮。有時間讓自己呼出超載的心情，也讓神的氣息沁進心內。
心裡默念。
風吹過雲在飄 時間靜止了
河邊花草長高了多少 季候鳥飛走了
留下淨土一片 煩惱暫時忘掉
落葉隨流水 流向遠山去
河邊花草枯萎了多少
太靜悄似幅畫
看似一切沒變
時間將一切安撫了
有時樹會倒下 某片天頃刻明亮
有時淚會淌下別太緊張
有時沒有音樂
你的心可輕輕唱
沉默裡人面匆匆閃過
有時樹會倒下 寧靜如常

Crucified With Christ
It was such a wonderful worship on Easter Sunday, I get to meet the risen Lord the very first thing in the morning. The worship was a continuation of the Good Friday darkness we’ve being left in, Jesus is dead, the veil was torn, the sky darkened and then… what? Without Jesus, my world is hopeless. My world, the continuing being of life becomes lifeless, meaningless and hopeless.
How thankful! Jesus is alive, He is risen! He is risen indeed! Joyful tears can retain no more, bursting out and so does my love for Christ stirred with a gentle but powerful call. My world, the continuing being of life becomes lively, meaningful and hopeful again! God grants me courage to begin again with new strength. God grants me strength to love again when I am too weak too Love. It’s all about Jesus. He, who doesn’t want us to just settle with ‘life’. He who grant us and enable us a life of a new creation! And it starts right now! Today!
How amazing, our faith runs paradoxically. Jesus gives out His life and gain more lives! He who died but risen! We who believe, gained, we count as loss. Who were weak, are now strong. "For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live!"
How sweet it is to the Lord that we made our way through all ‘life obstacles’ to see Him on Easter morning.
Love this song, the melody, the lyrics and the heart-felt passionate presentation reflecting the truth in our heart. (Can't find the live recording but the original is just as great!)
Crucified with Christ
by Phillips 'Craig and Dean
When I look back on what I thought was living I'm amazed at the price I choose to pay
And to think I ignored what really mattered
'Cause I thought the sacrifice would be too great
But when I finally reached the point of giving in
I found the cross was calling even then
And even though it took dying to survive
I've never felt so much alive
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live
Not I but Christ that lives within me
His cross will never ask for more than I can give
For it's not my strength but His, there's no greater sacrifice
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live
As I hear the Savior call for daily dying
I will bow beneath the weight of Calvary
Let my hands surrender to His piercing purpose
That holds me to the cross yet sets me free
I will glory in the power of the cross
The things I thought were gain I count as loss
And with His suffering I identify
And by His resurrection power, I am alive
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live
Not I but Christ that lives within me
His cross will never ask for more than I can give
For it's not my strength but His, there's no greater sacrifice
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live
And I will offer all I have so that His cross is not in vain
For I found to live is Christ and to die is truly gain
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live
Not I but Christ that lives within me
His cross will never ask for more than I can give
For it's not my strength but His, there's no greater sacrifice
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live
