Dear friends, befriend God.

We sang 不再孤单 today. The song painted a beautiful picture of what our relationship with God should be. The lyrics were simple to understand. We understood what we sang.

But what does it mean when we say 主耶稣是你最好的朋友?

Do we enjoy spending time with Him? Do we look forward to converse with Him?

David sought for God day and night; Moses spoke with Him daily; and Abraham, believing and obeying the Father, was called 'Friend of God' (James 2:23).

May we learn the joys of being God's friend every single day. =)

一首歌的意义。

今晚，在与友人msn闲聊天时，想到了要给他听一首歌。

这首歌就是《在我心房定居》。我们8月刚献唱的。

他听的当儿，我问他，“听清楚歌词吗？”，
他说，“不是很清楚...但歌大部份是这样子的”。

于是我抄了歌词给他看。

听完之后他就说，“这（就）一首歌说出了很多道理”（这时我明白他明白了）。

我心里点头，感到很欣慰。。。

通常每当我们献完一首诗歌便会很自然的到处问问看听者的意见或感想。


“How did you find the 献唱？”

“Oh, it was not bad, quite good actually... Couldn't really hear the guys though."

"Some notes were flat here and there but overall good.."

or "I really liked the new arrangment of the song!" etc.


之前跟另一位友人聊到的时候，他说他很希望听到，“听这首歌的时候，我想到了。。。”
或者“我的感触是。。。”，类似这样的回应。我深有同感。


当然技术上的建议是有利无弊的，这代表他们很仔细在听，我们虚心听取。


可是往往最能激励唱者的，是给予他们唱一首歌的意义上的肯定，理解和苟同。
因为在唱之前是经过很多反思的，尤其是筛选的时候。

有时我们自己会不自觉的陷入极力在技巧或效果上进步，虽然我们也很在意唱诗的意义和目的。


So the next time, hey dom7th, 我们可以问得比较单刀直入一点 :)

“So, what about the song impacted you?" or "What about the song made you think?"


希望接下来献唱的诗歌都能让大家听得出其中道理和意义（除了耳油之外）。
