The Heart Of Worship敬拜的真諦
By Matt Redman 中譯: Diana Lu
1.
When the music fades All is stripped away And I simply come
當音樂淡去,我卸下一切,來到祢面前
Longing just to bring Something that's of worth That will bless Your heart
渴望能獻上 能稱頌祢心 無價的禮物
I'll bring You more than a song
我想獻上不只是歌,
For a song in itself, Is not what You have required
因為意盡詞窮,那並非祢的所求
You search much deeper within,Through the way things appear
祢深深鑒察我心,一切終將顯露,
You're looking into my heart
祢看透我心深處
(副歌)
※I'm coming back to the heart of worship
我要回到敬拜的真諦
And it's all about You, It's all about You, Jesus
因為敬拜為祢 全是為你,耶穌
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
請赦免我所做錯的一切,
When it's all about You, It's all about You, Jesus
因為敬拜為你,全是為祢,耶穌※
2.
King of endless worth No one could express How much You deserve
永恆的君王 無人能闡揚 祢如何配得
Though I'm weak and poor All I have is Yours Every single breath
雖貧窮軟弱,我一切氣息,全都屬於祢
I'll bring You more than a song
我想獻上不只是歌,
For a song in itself, Is not what You have required
因為意盡詞窮,那並非祢的所求
You search much deeper within,Through the way things appear
祢深深鑒察我心,一切終將顯露,
You're looking into my heart
祢看透我心深處
小記:
神要你做你自己。「父所要尋找的,是那些在神面前以單純誠實的心,獻上敬拜的人。」
Matt Redman是英國一位敬拜帶領者,他談到,他的牧師教導他們教會敬拜的真義。為了使會眾明白敬拜并不只限於音樂,有一段時期他禁止聚會唱歌,以此來學習以其它的方法敬拜。當這段時期結束,Matt寫了一首經典歌曲,歌名叫「敬拜的心(真諦)」(Heart of Worship) :(以上節錄自夏忠堅牧師「我活著是為了敬拜」)
