Hi, 各位聽眾朋友們,平安!歡迎收聽愛的凱歌 (Adore Him),我是Judy。今天要和大家分享的詩歌〈感激〉(“Gratitude”),出自於Brandon Lake於2020年發行的專輯House of Miracles

Brandon Lake是一位美國詩歌創作者,敬拜團領袖和牧師,喜愛和來自世界各地不同背景、教派的音樂創作者合作。〈感激〉(“Gratitude”)就是他和Benjamin Hastings 以及Dante Bowe攜手創作的。

在〈感激〉的歌詞中,Brandon Lake敘述他心中滿溢著對神無限的感激,謙卑來到神面前,獻上感謝的祭。與此同時,他也意識到身為人的渺小與有限。在第一、二節歌詞,他這麼敘述:

All my words fall short
無話語表達,
I got nothing new
無新事可獻,
How could I express
如何能表達
All my gratitude?
對祢的感激?

I could sing these songs
我能唱詩歌,
As I often do
如往常一樣,
But every song must end
詩歌終會結束,
And You never do
祢卻永常存。

緊接著,Brandon Lake 並沒有允許自己因為看到自身的有限、不足,而停滯不前、或者退縮,也不允許自己被這種錯誤的、不恰當的情緒或者感覺所支配。如同聖經詩篇50:23所說的:「凡以感謝獻上為祭的,便是榮耀我;那按正路而行的,我必使他得著我的救恩。」因此,在第三節歌詞&副歌中,Brandon Lake這麼描述:

I've got one response
單單一回應,
I've got just one move
單單一動作,
With my arm stretched wide
張開我雙臂,
I will worship You
單單敬拜祢。

So I throw up my hands
於是我高舉手,
And praise You again and again
讚美你一遍又一遍,
'Cause all that I have is a hallelujah
因我所有單單唱哈利路亞!
Hallelujah
哈利路亞!
And I know it's not much
我知這仍不足,
But I've nothing else fit for a King
但除此外無可獻君王,
Except for a heart singing hallelujah
惟一個頌讚的心 哈利路亞
Hallelujah
哈利路亞

為了再次強調副歌中對神千千萬萬的感謝、無限的感激與不止息的讚美,Brandon Lake在Bridge的樂段,這麼描述:

So come on, my soul
我靈快興起,
Oh, don't you get shy on me
喔 不要害羞遲疑,
Lift up your song
揚聲歌唱,
'Cause you've got a lion inside of those lungs
因你裡面擁有獅子的勇敢。
Get up and praise the Lord
起來吧 讚美主!

在Bridge樂句中,出現了一句很不尋常的描述:“ ‘Cause you’ve got a lion inside of those lungs,” 直白的翻譯好像在說我們的肺裡面有一個獅子。然而詩歌的結尾,Brandon Lake再次帶我們回到副歌的歌詞,提醒自己也叫人不要誤解,雖然用獅子比喻我們要放膽且竭力地頌讚神,但我們並非靠著音量的大小,或者自己的力量來頌讚神,如同約翰福音4: 23-24,耶穌曉諭我們的:「時候將到,如今就是了,那真正拜父的,要用心靈和誠實拜他,因為父要這樣的人拜他。  神是個靈,所以拜他的必須用心靈和誠實拜他。」也就是要靠著聖靈和真理(神的話)來敬拜祂。
 
節目最後,邀請您一同來聆聽鋼琴獨奏版本的 〈感激〉(“Gratitude”)。我們下週見!
