我最喜愛的詩歌﹣God Forbid

上次介紹了Point of Grace 的 Jesus doesn't care，談到主耶穌無止境的愛和接納。今次介紹同碟的另一首歌﹣God Forbid，則談到我們信仰的另外一面。

先看看歌詞：

The more I know your power, Lord
The more I’m mindful
How casually we speak and sing your name
How often we have come to you
With no fear or wonder
And called upon you only for what we stand to gain

(chorus)
God forbid, that I find you so familiar
That I think of you as less than who you are
God forbid, that I should speak of you at all
Without a humble reverence in my heart
God forbid

Lord, I often talk about your love and mercy
How it seems to me your goodness has no end
It frightens me to think that I could take you for granted
Though you’re closer than a brother
You’re more than just a friend

(repeat chorus)

You are father, God almighty
Lord of lords, you're King of kings
Beyond my understanding
No less than everything

(repeat chorus)

God forbid
God forbid

有時在試探面前明知故犯，不是完全忘了神的存在，而是忘了神是怎樣的一位可敬、可畏的神。每一次聽到這首歌，都會提醒自己不要把禱告當作隨便的事，不要把神的救贖當作兒戲，要學習歉卑，學習敬畏。
