(Cantonese) Grace is too beautiful - 恩典太美麗



Here's another one, simple lyrics yet so meaningful. Praying hard i wont spoil it with my translation....

恩典太美麗 (曲詞: 盧永亨)
Grace is too beautiful (Lyrics & Composition by Lu Wing Hun)

這天同聚於主聖殿,
This day I gather in the Sanctuary of the Lord
來數算我主恩典;
to count the Grace of my Lord
祂以性命來使我完全、
His sacrifice makes me complete
來使我兩眼重見光線!
He made me see the light

這天同聚於主聖殿,
This day I gather in the Sanctuary of the Lord
來數算我主恩典;
to count the Grace of my Lord
祂賜盼望重生的泉源,
He gave hope and fountain of eternal life
還給我勇氣面對挑戰!
And even courage to face challenges

恩典太美麗,
Grace is too beautiful
無甚麼可取替,
Nothing can replace
唯求將心全然給主來彰顯主愛多珍貴;
Only pray to give my heart wholeheartedly to show how precious Lord's love is
終生愛神,
Love God with all
傾心傾意愛別人,
Love others with everything you have and mean
才覺生命沒有枉費!
Then you will feel life's not a waste
(Repeat from the start)

這天降服於主腳前,
This day I surrender at the Lord's feet
留心聽我主差遣;
Listening closely to Lord's calling
深信這日勞苦不徒然,
Believing the days of labour will not be easy
神終會賜我榮美冠冕!
God will reward me at the end
衷心去讚頌神極重的恩惠,
Sincerely praising God's undeserving grace
獻我一生傳揚福音,
Dedicate my life to sharing gospel
來證實主愛何寶貴;
Testify how precious Lord's love is
請觀看稻田,
Take a close look at the field
主的莊稼在面前,
Lord's manor is right in front
遼闊收成沒法估計!
The harvest cannot be estimated!

忠於使命,
faithful to calling
不惜一切來回應,
No matter what I will answer
能事奉你是最尊貴!!
 It is an honour to serve the Lord!!

(Cantonese) God listens to prayers - 上帝聽禱告



As for this song, the music arrangement simply blew me away.. In fact, I was reflecting if God heard my prayer to take away my chest pains, which by the way, came back in full force.. And this song hit at the right time.. YESSS!! I did cry.. I know i know, i like to cry... anyway.. Here's the lyrics!

It's a bit tough to translate, I hope i did ok.. Please comment if you find anything wrong.. Thanks!

Oh by the way, this song is a conversation between a Human and Angel.. So later part, i will just put H for Human and A for Angel

上帝聽禱告 (曲:西伯 詞:西伯)
God listens to prayers
(人說) Human said
誰了解此時我心正淚流像火燙!
Who can understand right now my heart is tearing like flame!
從我心燒如炭火,
My heart is burning like charcoal
又像冰將我封鎖!
yet it freezes up shut!
黑髮一夜白頭,
My black hair turn white overnight
我往絕望路走,
I'm walking on a desperate road
神啊,可否聽聽我禱?
Lord, are You listening to my prayers?

問你可聽到我在傾訴?
Asking if You could hear my complains?
今我無話問蒼天;
I have nothing else to ask the Heavens
我看前路極灰暗,
The road before me is dusty and dark
試問誰為我指引?
Who would guide me?
我軟弱可知道?
Do You know I am weak?
我問誰可改變?
I am asking who can change?
若你真的為我犧牲,
If You really sacrificed for me, 
你定必會聽我禱告。
You will definitely listen to my prayers

(天使說)
Angel said
神了解此時你心,
God understands your feelings now
眼淚從未輕看。
tears are never taken lightly
從最初一如最初,
From the beginning, since the beginning,
從來不變不改!
He's always the same
心裏不用懷疑,
Do not doubt in your heart
冀盼未盡未熄,
The hope has not ended or diminished
神會聽聲聲的嘆息!
God hears every sighs and moans

(天使說)上帝聽禱告,
A: God hears prayers
(人說)我在禱告,
H: I am praying
(天使說)因祂愛永不止息。
A: Because His love never stop to rest
(人說)我看前路極灰暗。
H: The road ahead is dusty and dark
(天使說)就讓神為你指引。
A: Let God guide you
(人說)我軟弱,
H: I am weak
(天使說)祂擁抱!
A: He'll hold you
(人說)我未能,
H: I can't
(天使說)祂可以!
A: He can!
(天使說)上帝應許讓你艱辛最後跨過,
A: God promised to bring you over the tough times
(人同說)今我禱告。
H: Today I'll pray

(合)上帝聽禱告,告別苦惱,
Together: God hears prayers, farewell frustration
(人說)今我無言地感激。
H: Today I am speechless in thanksgiving
(天使說)祂看靈魂極寶貴。
A: Souls are precious to Him
(人說)聽侯神為我指引。
H: I am listening for God to guide me
(天使說)縱軟弱,
A: Even if you're weak
(人說)祂擁抱!
H: He can hold you
(天使說)靠著神,
A: rely on God
(人說)總跨勝!
H: you can get through
(人說)上帝恩典藉教一生也願宣告!祂聽禱告。
H:  I will announce God's grace in this life! He hears prayers
(人說)上帝恩典藉教蒼生也願宣告!祂聽禱告。
H: I will announce God's grace for all eternity! He hears prayers

(cantonese) Love Unreserved - 愛是不保留



I know i may over-dramatized, but this song, even though there's a english one, the cantonese one is so so so so so much better, and yes, it made me cry..

Here it is: Love Unreserved

愛是不保留 - (曲詞:盧永亨)

Love Unreserved - (Lyrics & Composition by Lu Wing Hun)

常聽說世界愛沒長久
often heard that there's no everlasting love on earth
哪裡會有愛無盡頭
That there's no unconditional love
塵俗的愛只在乎曾擁有
Worldly love only care about "now"
一刻燦爛便要走
it will be gone in a while
而我卻確信愛是恆久
But I believe in love everlasting
碰到了祢已無別求
After meeting You, there's no other request
無從解釋
Unexplainable
不可說明的愛
  Indescribable
千秋過後仍長存不朽
A love that never fades even after thousands of Autumns

誰人受痛苦
Who's suffering
被懸掛在木頭
being hung on the wood
至高的愛
Love in the highest
盡見於刺穿的手
is seen through the nail pierced hand
看!血在流
Look! Blood is flowing
反映愛沒保留
reflecting Love unreserved
持續不死的愛
A love that never dies
到萬世不休
that never rest
惟求奉上生命
Praying to dedicate my life
全歸主所有
Everything belongs to the Lord
要將一切盡獻於我主的手
I will give my all to my Lord's hand
我已決定今生再沒所求
I already decided i have no other request
惟望得主稱讚已足夠
only hope to hear Lord's praises
(repeat from the start)

(Cantonese) I want to follow you Lord 我要跟主祢



Yesterday I went around to hunt for Chinese as well as Cantonese Worship songs.. And I came across a few that really touched my heart.. Here is one that is so simple, but yet, I think it should be every disciple's prayer...

I am doing my own english translation, so please forgive me if the translation is wrong, I dont mind if you leave a comment to tell me =)


我要跟主祢(词曲: 刘步青)
I will follow you Lord (Lyrics & Composition by Lau Bo Ching)

Chorus: (X2)
我要跟主祢,
I will follow you Lord
让我不偏离,
Dont let me be astray
立志紧握主的手
I'm determined to hold Your hands

戒命一生都遵守,
My life is dedicated to follow
决心跟主祢
Made up my mind to follow you Lord

Verse:
无助时我寻求
When I'm helpless I seek for help
耶稣基督拯救
Jesus Christ came to rescue
安心的等候祢的手
I wait peacefully for Your hand
静默听祢声音
Listen quietly for Your voice
依靠主我的神
Relying on my Lord God
奉献主我的一生
Consecrating my life to the Lord

(Chorus)

Music interlude

(chorus X2)

Bridge:
俗世不可逗留
Can't stay long in this world
此生那么短暂
This life is so short
基督的吩咐要记紧
Must remember Christ's commandment
就算世界笑我傻
Even though the world will laugh and say I'm silly
传福音要清楚
We must be clear about sharing the Gospel
传扬主赎罪恩歌
  Sharing about Lord's redemption song

(Chorus)
