何等可爱的雀鸟。。。 How lovely a bird…

September 30, 2011

早期对圣经诗篇毫无兴趣和没有感觉，灵命还没成长到能体会诗篇的含意的阶段吧？
一直到1994年，神学院第二年，才开始被诗篇吸引和感动，那时就开始创作好多诗篇，甚至一天都有高达三、四首创作的记录！
也非常感谢神让我能够一字不加与一字不漏的照圣经经文写成歌，也因而帮我熟记了好一些经文。。。

很多人喜欢问我，创作了那么多歌和发行了16张专辑，哪些诗歌或唱片是我的最爱？我常不加以思索的就说：诗篇！
最大原因是诗篇都是神的话，没有丝毫我个人的意思或话语参杂其中，所以我觉得最特别。。。
而且很多首，我自己也很”厚脸皮“的觉得旋律也挺优美的，哈哈！

在这里跟你们介绍两首不同年代写的诗篇，一是1994年的“雀鸟”，和今年2011才写的“何等可爱”。
其实“何等可爱”1994也已经写完一个版本，可是始终都不满意，一直到今年从新写过才认为“感觉对了”！在教会教唱的时候，看到大家被摸着的反应，我知道时间到了！

In the earlier days, I was never interested or I never had any feeling for the Psalms in the Bible. Guess it is because my spiritual life had not grown to that level then?
Until the year 1994 when I was doing my second year Bible School, was I attracted and touched by Psalms. At that time I began to compose many songs from Psalms, sometimes even 3 to 4 songs a day!
I am also very grateful to God that I could write those verses into songs without adding or subtracting one word from the verses, and hence that helped me memorize many verses as well…

Many people like to ask, of all the many songs I have written or the 16 albums I have released, which song(s)or album(s) are my favourites? Without hesitation, I would always reply: Psalms!
The biggest reason is Psalms are all the words of God, not a single bit of my own thought or word inside, that is why I feel they are very special…
And also many of them, being rather “thick-skinned”, I feel that the melodies are quite nice too, haha!

Here I am going to share with you two songs written over different period of time, one was written in 1994 “Like a Bird”, and one written this year 2011 “How Lovely”.
In fact I wrote a version of “how Lovely” too in 1994 but was never satisfied with it, until this year when I re-wrote it, only then I felt it had the “correct feel”!
And when I taught it in church, looking at the congregation’s response and how they were touched, I knew the timing had come!
