Lord of the Dance - Song of Praise

I danced in the morning when the world was young
I danced in the moon and the stars and the sun
I came down from heaven and I danced on the earth
At Bethlehem I had my birth

Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the lord of the dance, said he
And I lead you all, wherever you may be
And I lead you all in the dance, said he

I danced for the scribes and the Pharisees
They wouldn't dance, they wouldn't follow me
I danced for the fishermen James and John
They came with me so the dance went on

Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the lord of the dance, said he
And I lead you all, wherever you may be
And I lead you all in the dance, said he

I danced on a Friday when the world turned black
It's hard to dance with the devil on your back
They buried my body, they thought I was gone
But I am the dance, and the dance goes on

Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the lord of the dance, said he
And I lead you all, wherever you may be
And I lead you all in the dance, said he

They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that will never, never die
I'll live in you if you'll live in me
I am the Lord of the dance, said he

Dance, dance, wherever you may be
I am the lord of the dance, said he
And I lead you all, wherever you may be
And I lead you all in the dance, said he

And Can it be That I should Gain - Songs of Praise



1. And can it be that I should gain
an interest in the Savior's blood!
Died he for me? who caused his pain!
For me? who him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be
that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?
Amazing love! How can it be
that thou, my God, shouldst die for me?

2. 'Tis mystery all: th' Immortal dies!
Who can explore his strange design?
In vain the firstborn seraph tries
to sound the depths of love divine.
'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore;
let angel minds inquire no more.
'Tis mercy all! Let earth adore;
let angel minds inquire no more.

3. He left his Father's throne above
(so free, so infinite his grace!),
emptied himself of all but love,
and bled for Adam's helpless race.
'Tis mercy all, immense and free,
for O my God, it found out me!
'Tis mercy all, immense and free,
for O my God, it found out me!

4. Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
fast bound in sin and nature's night;
thine eye diffused a quickening ray;
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
my chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed thee.
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed thee.

5. No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in him, is mine;
alive in him, my living Head,
and clothed in righteousness divine,
bold I approach th' eternal throne,
and claim the crown, through Christ my own.
Bold I approach th' eternal throne,
and claim the crown, through Christ my own.

[Chinese Version]

1. 怎能如此---像我這樣罪人,也蒙寶血救贖大恩?
主為我受痛苦鞭傷,也為我死在十架上?
奇異的愛,怎能如此---我主我神為我受死?

2. 何等奇妙!永生主竟受死!有誰能解釋這奧祕?
神聖之愛,廣闊深長,最高天使也難測量,
上主憐憫,超過猜想,世人都當敬拜景仰。

3. 我主離開 天上寶座榮華。無量恩惠白白賜下,
謙卑虛已,顯彰慈愛,流血救贖亞當後代,
恩典憐愛,無邊無涯,罪人像我,竟蒙厚愛。

4. 我靈受困,多年在牢獄中;被罪包圍,黑暗重重;
主眼發出復活榮光,我靈甦醒,滿室光明!
枷鎖脫落,心靈獲釋,我就起來跟隨主行。

5. 不再定罪,心中除盡憂愁;我擁有主並他所有。
主內生活讓他居首,穿起義袍聖潔無垢;
坦然無懼到寶座前,藉主救贖,獲得冠冕。

(副歌)
奇異的愛,怎能如此我主我神,竟為我死!

Immanuel - Choirs from Cheshire and the Wirral (Song of Praise)



[Choirs of school children from Cheshire and the Wirral celebrate Epiphany in Chester Cathedral singing Michael Card's 'Emmanuel' ]

A sign shall be given
A virgin will conceive
A human baby bearing
Undiminished deity
The glory of the nations
A light for all to see
Hope for all who will embrace
His warm reality

Immanuel
Our God is with us
And if God is with us
Who could stand against us
Our God is with us
Immanuel

For all those who live in the shadow of death
A glorious light has dawned
For all those who stumble in the darkness
Behold your light has come

Immanuel
Our God is with us
And if God is with us
Who could stand against us
Our God is with us
Immanuel

So what will be your answer?
Will you hear the call?
Of Him who did not spare His son
But gave him for us all
On earth there is no power
There is no depth or height
That could ever separate us
From the love of God in Christ

Immanuel
Our God is with us
And if God is with us
Who could stand against us
Our God is with us
Immanuel

Immanuel
Our God is with us
And if God is with us
Who could stand against us
Our God is with us
Immanuel

那雙看不見的手 Invisible Hands - 六龜兒童合唱團 Taiwan Aborigine Choir



[Performed by Taiwan Aborigine Choir]

雖不見祢,觸不到祢,
但是我知,祢正在對我低語,
喔!主耶穌 喔!主耶穌,
我深知道祢一直就在這裡。(2X)

是祢的手,釘痕的手,
重新撫慰,我那破碎的心田,
是祢聲音,溫柔話語,
再度填滿我心靈中的飢渴。(2X)

[Unofficial English Translation]
- Please forward me the official translation if you have one, Thanks.

Cannot see You, cannot touch You
But I do know, You are whispering to me.
Oh! Lord Jesus, Oh! Lord Jesus,
I deeply know that You are always here.

It's Your hands, your hands with nail marks,
Once again to comfort my broken heart.
It's Your voice, your tender words,
Once again to fill the hunger in my spirit.

More Than Enough - The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir

Jehovah Jireh My Provider
You are more than enough for me
Jehovah Raepha You're my healer
By your stripes I've been set free
Jehovah Shammah You are with me
To Supply All My Needs
You are more than enough
More than enough
You are more than enough for me

(Chinese)
耶和華以勒,我供應者,祢超乎我一切所求,
耶和華拉法,我醫治者,因祢鞭傷我得釋放,
耶和華沙瑪,與我同在,
祢供應我所需,祢是超乎所求,
超乎所想,超乎我一切所需。
