这是女儿推荐的Charlotte Church 演唱的 "Amazing Grace"

圣经说:
“惟有基督在我们还作罪人的时候为我们死,
神的爱就在此向我们显明了。”

这首歌中唱道:
“Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me.”

Amazing Grace Lyrics

John Newton (1725-1807)

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.

T'was 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 that 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.

Yea, 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 we've been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first begun.

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.

关于神的奇异恩典,我喜欢好友虔谦的优美描述:

“你是一切蔚蓝的楷模

万般纯净的标准

你是没有水珠的彩虹

没有土木的宫殿

飞离了细胞的灵魂 ------

哦,海王星

你是我的神的恩典!”


深愿神的恩典与你我同在!
