為我付重價

The very first time I knew this song was way back when I was in college or high school. The choir conductor from my church chose this song for a special event. Not too long later, the male solo had a car accident and left us. 即使我年紀還輕，只會分辨對我好的人跟對我壞的人，卻都知道這位弟兄真的是一位活出基督馨香之氣的人，他生命的見證是一個孩子都看得出來不一樣的。  This just added a special meaning to this song for me. 

This song is so different from other hymns or worship songs that we sing at choir. Even when I was 懵懂 back in college (or high school), I felt so ashamed when I sang this song. It says, " You paid much too high a price for me. Your tears, Your blood, the pain, to have my soul just stirred at times, yet never truly changed. You deserve a fiery love that won’t ignore Your sacrifice because You paid much too high a price."  

Much Too High a Price

Your love endured the cross,

Despising all the shame.

That afternoon when midnight fell,

Your suffering cleared my name.

And that sin-swept hill became an open door to paradise,

Because You paid so high a price.

You paid much too high a price for me,

Your tears, Your blood, the pain

to have my soul just stirred at times,

yet never truly changed.

You deserve a fiery love that won’t ignore Your sacrifice.

Because You paid much too high a price.

Your grace inspires my heart

to rise above the sin

and all the earthly vanity

that seeks to draw me in.

I want to tell this jaded world of love that truly saved my life,

a love that paid so high a price.

I want to tell this jaded world of love that truly saved my life,

a love that paid so high a price.

You paid much too high a price for me,

Your tears, Your blood, the pain

to have my soul just stirred at times,

yet never truly changed.

You deserve a fiery love that won’t ignore Your sacrifice.

Because You paid much too high a price.

Because You paid much too high a price.

Much too high a price

祢已經為我付上重價。受苦，流血，捨命，我卻只是略受感動，並無認真改變。祢付上無限犧牲應得全心全意感恩。因為你已為我付重價。

一首老詩歌：為你，為你，我命曾捨，你捨何事為我？
