Your Name

As morning dawns and evening fades
You inspire songs of praise
That rise from earth to touch Your heart
And glorify Your name

Your name
Is a strong and mighty tower
Your name
Is a shelter like no other
Your name
Let the nations sing it louder
'Cause nothing has the power to save
But Your name

Jesus, in Your name we pray
Come and fill our hearts today
Lord, give us strength to live for You
And glorify Your name

The Silent Sermon

A member of a certain church, who previously had been attending services regularly, stopped going. After a few weeks, the preacher decided to visit him.

It was a chilly evening. The pastor found the man at home alone, sitting before a blazing fire. Guessing the reason for his preacher's visit, the man welcomed him, led him to a comfortable chair near the fireplace...and waited.

The preacher made himself at home but said nothing. In the grave silence, he contemplated the dance of the flames around the burning logs. After some minutes, the preacher took the fire tongs, carefully picked up a brightly burning ember and placed it to one side of the hearth all alone, then he sat back in his chair, still silent.

The host watched all this in quiet contemplation. As the one lone ember's flame flickered and diminished, there was a momentary glow and then its fire was no more. Soon it was cold and dead.

Not a word had been spoken since the initial greeting. The preacher glanced at his watch and realized it was time to leave. He slowly stood up, picked up the cold, dead ember and placed it back in the middle of the fire. Immediately it began to glow, once more with the light and warmth of the burning coals around it.

As the preacher reached the door to leave, his host said with a tear running down his cheek, 'Thank you so much for your visit and especially for the firey sermon. I will be back in church next Sunday.'

We live in a world today, which tries to say too much with too little. Consequently, few listen. Sometimes the best sermons are the ones left unspoken.

The Lord is my Shepherd ----- that's a Relationship!

I shall not want ----- that's Supply!

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures ----that's Rest!

He leadeth me beside the still waters -----that's Refreshment!

He restoreth my soul -- that's Healing!

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness -- that's Guidance!

For His name's sake ----- that's Purpose!

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death --that's Testing!

I will fear no evil ----- that's Protection!

For Thou art with me ----- that's Faithfulness!

Thy rod and Thy staff comfort me -----that's Discipline!

Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies ---that's Hope!

Thou annointest my head with oil ----- that's Consecration!

My cup runneth over ----- that's Abundance!

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life ---that's Blessing!

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord ----- that's Security!

Forever ----- that's Eternity!

我以禱告來到你跟前

1. 我以禱告來到你跟前
我要尋求你 我要站在破口之中
在那裡我尋求你

2. 主我是軟弱及無助
你卻是我的力量
以你親切的手引導我
那就是我的得勝

# 每一次我禱告
我搖動你的手
禱告做的事 我的手不能做
每一次我禱告 大山被挪移
道路被鋪平 使列國歸向你

我多麼需要有你

我多麼需要有你
有你天天與我親近
我時刻不能忘記
是你賜我每個氣息

# 我多麼需要有你
有你天天領我前行
我時刻不能忘記
是你掌管我的生命

繽紛的世界 奪不去我的眼
我要定睛在你榮面
因為離了你 就像風箏斷了線
飄落在天地之間

忙碌的生活 奪不去我的心
我要安靜在你面前
因為你同在 是我一生的等候
是我一生的尋求

有一天

有一天 你若覺得失去勇氣
有一天 你若真的想放棄
有一天 你若感覺沒人愛你
有一天 好像走到谷底

那一天 你要振作你的心情
那一天 你要珍惜你自己
那一天 不要忘記有人愛你
那一天 不要輕易說放棄

# 這個世界真有一位上帝
祂愛你 祂願意幫助你
茫茫人海 雖然寂寞
祂愛能溫暖一切冷漠

這個世界真有一位上帝
祂的雙手 渴望緊緊擁抱你
漫漫長夜 陪你走過
祂愛你 伴你一生之久
