Hillsong London (Jesus is)

上一篇談及的憐憫頌，雖然是出自巳被譽為當代較新的聖詩作者Margaret Rizza手筆，不過其實她也年紀不輕了，而且這首詩歌只會較傳統的教會才會選用，故可能不合年輕潮人的口味．

兩三年前行過基道書樓，買了一隻Hillsong London (Jesus is) 的DVD，試聽時覺得很震撼，因為沒有想過詩歌也可以這樣搖滾，但又不是那些太重金屬，震爆耳膜的音樂，我自己也接受得到．

我買的是一個音樂聚會的剪輯版，或者是我孤陋寡聞，見識少，起碼在本地教會未見過這情況（但最近幾年都甚少往別的教會），沒有想過宗教聚會也可以這樣”瘋狂”．參與者與聽演唱會無疑，非常熱情投入，個個跳跳紥，手舞足蹈，陶醉在音樂敬拜當中．

我在傳統的教會長大，崇拜都是乖乖坐定的，對這些較”激”的敬拜，在家看DVD時會覺得很振奮，但若要我一起參與，我一定受不了，會不知如何是好，想可能會借故去洗手間然後逃之夭夭．

曾於七八年前參與過一個有些微靈恩的聚會，唱詩時其他人都會隨著音樂搖擺身體，但我就是覺得不大自然，更何況要我像DVD中那些會眾那麼投入，似乎不是我的風格罷了．

在youtube找到Hillsong London (Jesus is)其中的兩首詩歌，一快一慢，一動一靜，雖然和之前介紹的憐憫頌風格明顯南轅北轍，但都是我喜歡的歌曲，大家可以一聽．




Let the whole world sing your praise
Let creation bow down before you
You’ve got my whole world in your hands
Let my heart sing a song of freedom.
My heart’s abandoned to your name,
Light of the whole world livin’ in me.
Let the nations resound for you, lord
To see salvation here on the earth, here on the earth.

You are the god of all my dreams
I’ll follow you and everything
I have is your, it’s yours
I’m living life for you and my world will never be the same.

I’m living for you, god
So all will see your kingdom come
And nothing in this world is gonna stop now
It won’t hold me down.



Condemnation falls away
Never more to call on me and I am clean, yes I am clean
The powerful work of you in me
Breaks the chains of guilt and shame and I go free, yes I go free

{PreChorus}
I take them to your cross and leave them there
Captured by this grace I’m free at last

{Chorus}
It is the great gift of Your salvation
Working in me, working in me
It is the life giving taste of heaven
Your kindness revealed, Your kindness revealed to me

It’s the greatest gift of all
It’s the greatest gift of all
It’s the greatest gift of all (Repeat x4)

Your mercy’s pouring down on me, Your mercy’s pouring down on me
And I am clean, I am clean
Your mercy’s pouring down on me, Your mercy’s pouring down on me
And I go free, I go free
