Songs of Love:19

【At the Sea of Tiberias】

At the Sea of Tiberias,

The risen Lord appeared to me;

He prepared a barbecue on the shore,

With fish and bread and His tender love.

O' Lord! You know that I love You!

Though I have failures and weakness.

May You strengthen me by the spirit,

To follow and love You to the end.

【John 21:1-14】

1 After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way. 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. 3 Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We will go with you." They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing. 4 Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus. 5 Jesus said to them, "Children, do you have any fish?" They answered him, "No." 6 He said to them, "Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some." So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish. 7 That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea. 8 The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off. 9 When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread. 10 Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish that you have just caught." 11 So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." Now none of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish. 14 This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead.

God's Family Hymnal 12:46

【The Secret of the Bleeding Heart】

Birds are singing, flowers are blooming,

Pink petals pave our path of love,

Celebrating Your glorious rise from the dead!

And our love union, the endless spring of our love!

Your heart’s forever calling for me!

Unto Your bosom sweet, I plunge myself.

Lord, Your bosom is my rest.

I nest under Your wings.

You embrace me, You embrace me

To the depths of Your heart!

【John 11:35-44】

35 Jesus wept. 36 So the Jews said, "See how he loved him!" 37 But some of them said, "Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man also have kept this man from dying?" 38 Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for he has been dead four days." 40 Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?" 41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this on account of the people standing around, that they may believe that you sent me." 43 When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out." 44 The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go."

Song of Love：4

【The Lord's Personal Love To Me】

His personal love to me,

Pure, undying to the end.

Great floods cannot quench it;

Time, ev’n years, can't make it fade.

Withstands various trials and tests,

It never fails my heart to gain.

His personal love to me,

Is my drive through all my life.

When I'm despaired, His love comforts me,

His love overcomes all things.

Rich, colourful, tender and soft,

I will boast of His love forever.

His personal love to me,

Sweet and warm and gives me hope,

Shares in my life’s all sorrows and joy,

Gives me courage and gives me faith,

Fills my heart like a living spring,

In His bosom may I e’er stay!

【John 9:1-7】

1 As he passed by, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" 3 Jesus answered, "It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work. 5 As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." 6 Having said these things, he spat on the ground and made mud with the saliva. Then he anointed the man's eyes with the mud 7 and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which means Sent). So he went and washed and came back seeing.

【靠主常常喜樂・一無掛慮　凡事曉得與神寶貴聯起】

你們要靠主常常喜樂、

常常喜樂。

我再說，你們要喜樂、

你們要喜樂。

當叫眾人知道你們

謙讓的心。

主已經近了、

主已經近了。

應當一無掛慮、應當一無掛慮；

應當一無掛慮、應當一無掛慮，

只要凡事藉著禱告、

祈求和感謝，將你們所要的

告訴神、告訴神。

神所賜、出人意外的平安、

神所賜、出人意外的平安

必在基督耶穌裡、在基督耶穌裡

保守你們的心懷意念，保守你們的心懷意念。

【詩篇37:1-17】

1 （大衛的詩）不要為作惡的心懷不平，也不要向那行不義的生出嫉妒。

2 因為他們如草快被割下，又如青菜快要枯乾。

3 你當倚靠耶和華而行善，住在地上，以他的信實為糧；

4 又要以耶和華為樂，他就將你心裡所求的賜給你。

5 當將你的事交託耶和華，並倚靠他，他就必成全。

6 他要使你的公義如光發出，使你的公平明如正午。

7 你當默然倚靠耶和華，耐性等候他；不要因那道路通達的和那惡謀成就的心懷不平。

8 當止住怒氣，離棄忿怒；不要心懷不平，以致作惡。

9 因為作惡的必被剪除；惟有等候耶和華的必承受地土。

10 還有片時，惡人要歸於無有；你就是細察他的住處也要歸於無有。

11 但謙卑人必承受地土，以豐盛的平安為樂。

12 惡人設謀害義人，又向他咬牙。

13 主要笑他，因見他受罰的日子將要來到。

14 惡人已經弓上弦，刀出鞘，要打倒困苦窮乏的人，要殺害行動正直的人。

15 他們的刀必刺入自己的心；他們的弓必被折斷。

16 一個義人所有的雖少，強過許多惡人的富餘。

17 因為惡人的膀臂必被折斷；但耶和華是扶持義人。

God’s Family Hymnal 12:65

【The triumphal Song of the Storm Bird】

(Not officially translated version)

Experienced all trials big and long,

The Lord tests and builds me as gold.

I am His loved storm bird in His bosom,

Sing better and brighter in stormy rain;

I can sing by Him in the night,

In dark valley, sing the triumphal song,

Sing to Him the sweet love song.

【John 6:16-21】

16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, 17 got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. 19 When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were frightened. 20 But he said to them, "It is I; do not be afraid." 21 Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.

【John 6:1-15】

1 After this Jesus went away to the other side of the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. 2 And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick. 3 Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. 4 Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand. 5 Lifting up his eyes, then, and seeing that a large crowd was coming toward him, Jesus said to Philip, "Where are we to buy bread, so that these people may eat?" 6 He said this to test him, for he himself knew what he would do. 7 Philip answered him, "Two hundred denarii would not buy enough bread for each of them to get a little." 8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, said to him, 9 "There is a boy here who has five barley loaves and two fish, but what are they for so many?" 10 Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, about five thousand in number. 11 Jesus then took the loaves, and when he had given thanks, he distributed them to those who were seated. So also the fish, as much as they wanted. 12 And when they had eaten their fill, he told his disciples, "Gather up the leftover fragments, that nothing may be lost." 13 So they gathered them up and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves left by those who had eaten. 14 When the people saw the sign that he had done, they said, "This is indeed the Prophet who is to come into the world!" 15 Perceiving then that they were about to come and take him by force to make him king, Jesus withdrew again to the mountain by himself.

【The Convincing Love】

Your abundant love is uncountable

Your steadfast love never ceases

Your compassion and sympathy meet me unceasingly.

O Lord, You are so merciful

Your mercy and lovingkindness are new every morning

Follow with your faithfulness, sits firmly liked the mountain

You keep Your promises, for He cannot deny Himself.

All things may lose one day

City was penetrated, temple was plundered, people was exiled

Even I lost the thing my heart attached most

But You are my portion, my inheritance

You are my only resource of hope.

【John 5:1-15】

1 After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, in Aramaic called Bethesda, which has five roofed colonnades. 3 In these lay a multitude of invalids--blind, lame, and paralyzed. 5 One man was there who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there and knew that he had already been there a long time, he said to him, "Do you want to be healed?" 7 The sick man answered him, "Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am going another steps down before me." 8 Jesus said to him, "Get up, take up your bed, and walk." 9 And at once the man was healed, and he took up his bed and walked. Now that day was the Sabbath. 10 So the Jews said to the man who had been healed, "It is the Sabbath, and it is not lawful for you to take up your bed." 11 But he answered them, "The man who healed me, that man said to me, 'Take up your bed, and walk.'" 12 They asked him, "Who is the man who said to you, 'Take up your bed and walk'?" 13 Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, as there was a crowd in the place. 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, "See, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you." 15 The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had healed him.

God’s Family Hymnal 13:37

【Your Love Jealousy Unyielding as the Grave】

Your love jealousy is yielding as the grave!

Your love to me like flashes of fire!

Your desire — for me is to set my love on You.

Your love has overcome pains and trials!

Every barrier torn down,

Every idol destroyed,

Clouds and shadows removed,

You have vanquished all foes!

Your love has conquered all,

— Triumphed over all things.

Your love banner flies over me.

Your desire and love since eternity!

Your love thoughts out-number sands and all stars!

Fervent love of the cross! Your love’s stronger than death!

You leapt over mountains to see my face.

Your request to hear my voice.

Lord, Your love I can’t forget,

Let me mingle every day;

Your affections fill my soul!

Draw me to a secret place.

To be face to face, heart to heart.

May Your banner fly over me,

Fly over my heart evermore!

【John 4:46-54】

46 So he came again to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And at Capernaum there was an official whose son was ill. 47 When this man heard that Jesus had come from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and asked him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. 48 So Jesus said to him, "Unless you see signs and wonders you will not believe." 49 The official said to him, "Sir, come down before my child dies." 50 Jesus said to him, "Go; your son will live." The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him and went on his way. 51 As he was going down, his servants met him and told him that his son was recovering. 52 So he asked them the hour when he began to get better, and they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him." 53 The father knew that was the hour when Jesus had said to him, "Your son will live." And he himself believed, and all his household. 54 This was now the second sign that Jesus did when he had come from Judea to Galilee.

【The Love that Stuns My Heart】

Stuns the heaven, your love that bled for me!

Stuns my heart Lord, Your banner’s over me!

Love unrivalled has conquered all

I am Yours, your love consumed me!

The Songs of Songs is Your love song,

Sing of Your deep affections for me.

Lord, You redeemed me with Your precious blood,

And betrothed me ever to be Your darling!

I exist because of You!

I’m Your love creation, Lord.

Through the ages, through all time,

Endless thoughts You bear for me!

From creation till today

Is the story of Your love,

All filled with Your

Countless love proofs!

May I fully comprehend

your loving heart for me,

See the fullness of Your works,

Your love journey every step,

The profoundness of the cross,

Your desire for me today,

The eternal dream deep in Your heart!

O Lord, may I rest well in Your sweet love bosom

As Your beloved perfect darling!

【John 2:1-11】

On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, "They have no wine." And Jesus said to her, "Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come." His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water." And they filled them up to the brim. And he said to them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast." So they took it. When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom and said to him, "Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now." This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.

【神家的肥甘】

1. 耶和華祢的慈愛上及諸天，

祢的信實達到達到穹蒼，

祢的公義好像高山，

祢的判斷如同深淵。

耶和華啊……

人民牲畜祢都救護。

2.神啊！祢的慈愛何其寶貴，

世人投靠在祢翅膀的蔭下，

因祢殿裡的肥甘，

得以飽足得飽足，

祢也必叫他們喝祢樂河的水。

3.因為在祢那裏有生命的源頭

在祢的光中我們必得見光，

願祢常施慈愛給認識祢的人

常以公義待心裏正直的人。

【詩篇36:1-12】

1 （耶和華的僕人大衛的詩，交與伶長）惡人的罪過在他心裡說：我眼中不怕神！

2 他自誇自媚，以為他的罪孽終不顯露，不被恨惡。

3 他口中的言語盡是罪孽詭詐；他與智慧善行已經斷絕。

4 他在床上圖謀罪孽，定意行不善的道，不憎惡惡事。

5 耶和華啊，你的慈愛上及諸天；你的信實達到穹蒼。

6 你的公義好像高山；你的判斷如同深淵。耶和華啊，人民、牲畜，你都救護。

7 神啊，你的慈愛何其寶貴！世人投靠在你翅膀的蔭下。

8 他們必因你殿裡的肥甘得以飽足；你也必叫他們喝你樂河的水。

9 因為，在你那裡有生命的源頭；在你的光中，我們必得見光。

10 願你常施慈愛給認識你的人，常以公義待心裡正直的人。

11 不容驕傲人的腳踐踏我；不容凶惡人的手趕逐我。

12 在那裡，作孽的人已經仆倒；他們被推倒，不能再起來。
