#9: My God is So Big

TEXT & MUSIC: En Meng

[Verse]

我是空谷的回音

Wo shi kong gu di hui yin

四處尋找我的心

Si chu xun zhao wo di xin

問遍溪水和山林

Wen bian xi shui he shan lin

我心依然無處尋

Wo xin yi ran wu chu xun

I’m the echo of the valley seeking for my being

I’ve asked the streams and forest

but found no peace within

哦我曾經多徬徨

O wo ceng jing duo pang huang

四週一無安息土

Si zhou yi wu an xi tu

笑聲留不住歡樂

Xiao sheng liu bu zhu huan le

眼淚帶不走痛苦

Yan lei dai bu zou tong ku

O, how I searched but couldn’t find a resting place -

laughter can’t keep happiness; tears don’t ease sorrows

[Verse 2]

我說生命不稀奇

Wo shuo sheng ming bu xi qi

一聲嘆息歸塵土

Yi sheng tan xi gui chen tu

放棄一切的追求

Fang qi yi qie di zhui qiu

任憑潮水帶我走

Ren ping chao shui dai wo zou

I said life isn’t great – we return to dust in a span of sigh

leaving our plans behind, carried away by the tide

哦我曾經多徬徨

O wo ceng jing duo pang huang

四週一無安息土

Si zhou yi wu an xi tu

笑聲留不住歡樂

Xiao sheng liu bu zhu huan le

眼淚帶不走痛苦

Yan lei dai bu zou tong ku

O, how I searched but couldn’t find a resting place -

laughter can’t keep happiness; tears don’t ease sorrows

[Verse 3]

有人曾經告訴我

You ren ceng jing gao su wo

耶穌正在尋找我

Ye su zheng zai xun zhao wo

祂愛能夠保護我

Ta ai neng gou bao hu wo

祂手能夠醫治我

Ta shou neng gou yi zhi wo

Then someone said to me,

“Jesus is looking for you… His love can shield you,

His hand will heal you”

哦我心中多快樂

O wo xin zhong duo kuai le

我又見到那太陽

Wo you jian dao na tai yang

我心緊緊跟隨祂

Wo xin jin jin gen sui ta

我唇還要讚美祂

Wo chun hai yao zan mei ta

O, how my heart was filled with joy -

I could see the sun again

Now my heart follows Him and my mouth praises Him

[Verse 4]

朋友你今在哪裡

Peng you ni jin zai na li

四處奔跑何時已

Si chu ben pao he shi yi

如果你還願意聽

Ru guo ni hai yuan yi ting

讓我再來告訴你

Rang wo zai lai gao su ni

Where are you going this day, my friend?

Rushing to and fro; if you would pause and listen

let me repeat once again

耶穌基督救贖主

Ye su ji du jiu shu zhu

祂曾滿足心無數

Ta ceng man zu xin wu shu

向祂傾訴向祂哭

Xiang ta qing su xiang ta ku

祂必使你得飽足

Ta bi shi ni de bao zu

Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior: He will fill your soul

tell Him all your sorrows; He will meet your needs

R-8 GOD OUR STRENGTH 上帝是咱的力量

Psalm 27:1-8,13-14 (NKJV)

The LORD is my light and my salvation;
Whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the strength of my life;
Of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked came against me
To eat up my flesh,
My enemies and foes,
They stumbled and fell.
Though an army may encamp against me,
My heart shall not fear;
Though war may rise against me,
In this I will be confident.

One thing I have desired of the LORD,
That will I seek:
That I may dwell in the house of the LORD
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of the LORD,
And to inquire in His temple.
For in the time of trouble
He shall hide me in His pavilion;
In the secret place of His tabernacle
He shall hide me;
He shall set me high upon a rock.

And now my head shall be lifted up above my enemies all around me;
Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in His tabernacle;
I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.

Hear, O LORD, when I cry with my voice!
Have mercy also upon me, and answer me.
When You said, “Seek My face,”
My heart said to You, “Your face, LORD, I will seek.”

I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the LORD
In the land of the living.

Wait on the LORD;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the LORD!

Life's challenges are inevitable. Yet, I praise You, Lord, for You have been my refuge and strength. Help me to fix my eyes on You instead of dwelling on the troubles of life. May I continue to trust in You.
I thank You even for this pandemic season. You are sovereign and good. I believe You are accomplishing Your holy will even during this uncertain times. All of nature is under Your control. Release us when it has served its purpose. Help us to wait patiently on You.
There are so much injustice in this world. Wicked people seem to get away unpunished. Yet, I know nothing escapes You, Lord. Remember the evil done against Your children. Save us from the evil hurled against us. When we suffer from the hands of those who do evil, keep us holy and righteous in our ways. Help us not to retaliate but allow You to avenge us.
