Filed under: II Lyrics for God
兩個月前為好朋友的婚禮而寫的, 終於有機會 post 在這兒分享一下. =)
先求祢的國
讓我先求祂國和義
尋主喜悅心意
主, 我的主說, 若你願意靠緊
這些東西都加給你.
活著乃不是單靠糧食與水
是靠主的話牽引
靈內的飢渴獨祢能夠滿足
我心渴慕晝夜想祢.
問, 定會給你, 定會令你富足
找, 必找得見
門為你開, 只要你願意去敲
太多祝福, 一一給你.
主, 讓我擺上信靠祢的心
靠主腳步向前行
用我一生去頌讚祢名字
哈利路, 哈利路亞.

Credits: This all-time classic was written by Karen Lafferty in 1972.
One day back in June, I was sitting around and just thinking: “I haven’t written any Chinese lyrics in a long while!” So I started thinking what song I can give it a shot, and as I was thinking that, this song just came to mind. I started ‘singing’ it in my mind and became so moved by it, so then I started writing a couple of Chinese lines for it and was planning to finish it up later. A few days later, I received an e-mail from a friend asking me if I could write Chinese lyrics for exactly this song for her wedding! I was *shocked* to read her e-mail, really. I guess God really wanted to remind me the lyrics in this song. I always feel that He wanted to remind me certain lyrics and the meanings in them whenever He moved me to write certain songs.
The Original Lyrics:
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God
And His righteousness
And all these things shall be added unto you
Hallelu, Hallelujah!
Man shall not live by bread alone
But by every word
That proceeds from the mouth of God
Hallelu, Hallelujah!
Ask and it shall be given unto you
Seek and ye shall find
Knock and the door shall be opened unto you
Hallelu, Hallelujah!
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart
He shall direct thy paths
In all thy ways acknowledge Him
Hallelu, Hallelujah!
