十四年前的聯考前一個月,我在家裡閉關衝刺的時喉,為了煮一碗泡麵同時看NBA球賽結果在廚房門口滑倒,瓷碗碎裂刺入我的大拇指,傷口深至見骨。我經歷了三個小時的手術,並且住院了幾天,最重要的,這影響了我的聯考。一個明星高中的學生,落到一間野雞大學也考不上(我後來在當年八月的在當年的夜大聯招上了東吳英文,那是後話)。
那一段時間,修女也瘋狂第二集電影專輯裡面的一首歌,成為我的幫助,一首由那時候默默無聞的蘿崙希爾唱的老詩歌 His eye is on the sparrow.

His eye is on the sparrow Lyrics
Lauryn Hill
Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart feel lonely?
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches over me
His eye is on the sparrow
and I know He over watches me
His eye is on the sparrow
and I know He watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches (I know He watches)
I know He watches me
(I) I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know, He watches me
He watches me
He watches me
I know
He watches me.
我後來回頭看,那一天影響了我的一生。
似乎是最糟的情況,卻成為化妝的祝福。
今天在晨更帶大家唱的是另一首由HILLSONG所帶來的I will run to you有異曲同工之妙,只是歌詞COVER的更深,更廣。

按這裡聽原唱者在HILLSONG教會帶領的崇拜。
Your eye is on the sparrow
And Your hand, it comforts me
From the ends of the Earth to the depth of my heart
Let Your mercy and strength be seen
You call me to Your purpose
As angels understand
For Your glory, may You draw all men
As Your love and grace demand
And I will run to You
To Your words of truth
Not by might, not by power
But by the spirit of God
Yes I will run the race
'Till I see Your face
Oh let me live in the glory of Your grace
副歌的直譯:
而我會奔向你
追求你那真理的話語
不倚靠才能,不倚靠勢力。
而單靠主的聖靈
是的,我會奔跑天路
直到我見你的面
ㄡ讓我常在妳恩典的榮耀裡面
Have a nice day.
