【MY PAPER HEART】


Well, I’ve been treated like a valentineThat’s been ripped apart and left behindI’m a fragile girl in a crazy, careless worldMy dreams were torn and scattered on the floorBut You’ve been picking up the pieces, Lord‘Cause Your love is real, the only hope to heal


My paper heart is Yours nowI have landed in Your handsI’ve come so far to find outMy life will never be the sameSince You wrote Your nameOn my paper heart


I had been so terrified to trustSo many times I’d been reduced to dustBut You keep showing me You’re the safest place to be


Never knew that I could feel the way I feelNever knew…


歌詞大意:在這個瘋狂又無情的世界,我感覺我好像是過完了情人節就被丟棄的情人一樣。我的夢想像一張紙被撕毀,被踐踏一地。可是沒想到,主你卻把這些碎片一片一片的撿了起來。你的愛好真實阿!我這個紙做的心,被你捧手心上,已經屬於你了我的生命不再一樣,因為你已經把你的名寫在我這個紙做的心上面。Free to Be MeAt twenty years of ageI’m still looking for a dreamA war’s already waged for my destinyBut You’ve already won the battleAnd You’ve got great plans for meThough I can’t always see*’Cause I got a couple dents in my fenderGot a couple rips in my jeansTry to fit the pieces togetherBut perfection is my enemyAnd on my own I’m so clumsyBut on Your shoulders I can seeI’m free to be meWhen I was just a girlI thought I had it figured outSee my life would turn out rightAnd I’d make it here somehowBut things don’t always come that easyAnd sometimes I would doubt, oh*Sometimes I believe that I can do anythingYet other times I thinkI’ve got nothing good to bringBut You look at my heart and You tell meThat I’ve got all You seek, ohAnd it’s easy to believe even though歌詞大意:20歲的我,還在尋找夢想,我以為我能走在自己的計畫上,有天我的人生會不一樣。有時候我覺得我什麼都能做,可是有時候我卻覺得我什麼好事都做不了…。原來上帝你早就幫我打贏了這場戰,並且為我量身了一個大計劃,雖然我不是常常都能清楚的看見這個美好的計畫,因為我看見的是我的人生坑坑巴巴,哎呀!「追求完美」是我的敵人!我要站在你的肩膀上,這樣我才能看見,才能自由的做真實的自己。


為什麼基督徒有能力愛其他人?因為我們經歷過了這世上最偉大的愛,就是一個無罪的人為了承擔我們的罪而受死的愛。這位沒有罪卻代替我們的罪受死的人,就是上帝的獨生子耶穌基督。當我們明白自己的罪被赦免不是因為我們比別人優秀,單單只是因為上帝愛我們、憐憫我們,在我們心裡對上天除了敬畏,還有更多的感恩和感動,這種感動的力量就會化成愛別人的能力。2011年Francesca 出了第二張專輯 Hundred More Years,裡頭有一首歌 Motion of Mercy,說的就是這種被上帝的憐憫所激發出來的愛。


【Motion of Mercy】


I was poor I was weakI was the definition of the spirituallyBankrupt conditionSo in need of help


I was unsatisfiedHungry and thirstyWhen You rushed to my sideSo unworthyStill You gave yourself, away


That’s the motion of mercyChanging the way and the why we areThat’s the motion of mercyMoving my heart


Now I’m filled by a loveThat calls me to actionI was empty before now I’m drawn to compassionAnd to give myself, away


That’s the motion of mercyChanging the way and the why we areThat’s the motion of mercyMoving my heartLiving for the lostLoving ’til it hurtsNo matter what the costLike You loved me firstThat’s the motion of mercyGod give me strengthTo give something for nothingI wanna be a glimpse ofThe Kingdom…
