Crying In The Chapel

Crying In The Chapel

You saw me crying in the chapel
The tears I shed were tears of joy
I know the meaning of contentment
Now I am happy with the Lord

Just a plain and simple chapel
Where humble people go to pray
I pray the Lord that I'll grow stronger
As I live from day to day

I've searched and I've searched
But I couldn't find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mind

Now I'm happy in the chapel
Where people are of one accord
Yes, we gather in the chapel
Just to sing and praise the Lord

You'll search and you'll search
But you'll never find
No way on earth
To gain peace of mind

Take your troubles to the chapel
Get down on your knees and pray
Than your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way

Yes your burdens will be lighter
And you'll surely find the way

奇異恩典 amazing grace- 海莉薇思特娜

奇異恩典 (amazing grace) 這首詩歌相信無論是基督徒或非基督徒朋友都耳熟能詳。影片中詮釋這首歌的是紐西蘭歌手海莉薇思特娜 (Hayley Westernra) 。在她優美的歌聲中，這首歌聽來令人格外感動。作詞者約翰牛頓自稱為「卑鄙惡者」，不配蒙受神的恩典，但耶穌竟將此恩典施於其身。當他得知耶穌基督深愛罪人，並為罪人受死，他心中充滿無限驚奇。當他接受耶穌作他生命的救主後，便寫下這首詩歌以讚美上帝的恩典。
約翰牛頓從一個道德墮落，無所不為的奴隸販子，轉變為一個博貫群經，榮神益人，蒙神重用的傳道人，正是「奇異恩典」最好的寫照！
