A Loving Father 愛我的天父

Me(the one floating in the air, haha) and my 大姐，Sarah~

Sarah: 嗨，伟芳! 你看，我们的孩子真的是身在福中不知福！

Lydia: Ya loh! At such a young age, they already have their own personal computer, iPhone, iPod, iPad, and all the i...

Sarah: 哎呀，我不是指手机或电脑物质方面的福！

Lydia: Oh, not what you mean? Then, why did you said that they 身在福中不知福？

Sarah: 哪，今天是父亲节，我指的是他们的父亲！

Lydia: Okay... today is Father’s Day, but what made you said that they don't realize how blessed they are?

Sarah: 因为他们的父亲是基督徒呀！打从母胎中，就不断为着他们祷告... 直到今天。真的是身在福中不知福！

Lydia: You are right! Unlike us, they have Christian fathers who pray for them right from the moment they were conceived in their mommy's womb.

Sarah: 虽然说我们的父亲不是基督徒，不能为我们代祷。不过我们还有一位属灵的爸爸,每天为着我们代祷。

Lydia: Oh yes, our pastor! He is our spiritual Papa who prays daily for us. I feel much better now, knowing that at least I have a father who is praying for me everyday.

Sarah: 经你这么说，我也感到很安慰！

Lydia & Sarah (together) : 诶... We have another Father! / 我们还有一位爸爸！

Lydia : Our Heavenly Father!

Sarah: 我们的天父！

Lydia: The greatest Father of all! Who loves not only us, but also our unsaved fathers, because "He so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son!"

Sarah: 今天我们就将这首“爱我们的天父”献给我们至爱的天父，属灵的爸爸（牧师）和天下的爸爸。特别是那些还没得救的爸爸们，有那么一天，能明白父赐给他们是何等的慈爱。

Lydia: Yes. Today we would like to dedicate this song "A loving Father" to our Heavenly Father who loves us, and our spiritual papa - Pastor, and to all the Daddies. Especially for our yet-to-be-saved daddies, that they may know how great is the love the Father has lavished on them.

~A Loving Father 愛我的天父~

I have a loving Father who never gives up on me,
His love's always there to restore me.
Yes, I know He will care for me.
I know He will care for me.

In times of many trials. In times of many fears.
And You never leave nor forsake me.
Yes, I know You will care for me. I know You will care for me.

Draw me closer to Your heart. Embrace me in Your arms.
I will love You my Father. You are my everything.

有位愛我的天父，祂永遠不放棄我，
祂愛的同在使我完全，我深知祂顧念著我，我知祂顧念著我。

在許多危難時刻，在流淚的過程，祢永不離開或丟棄我，
我深知祢顧念著我，我知祢顧念著我。

吸引我貼近祢心，擁抱在祢懷裡，
我愛祢我的天父，祢是我的一切。



Me and my dear sister, Sarah, presented this song on Father's Day. The dialogue you read was our introduction, an idea from my sister who is loaded with "drama cells"（戏剧细胞）。 Thank God that I managed to memorize the whole dialogue, it was no easy-peasy task ok, 死了很多细胞才把它给背熟的！ :P

My 2 year-old girl, Thaddea, could sing this song too! When I was practicing the song with the guitar, she would take up her toy microphone and sing along, "I have a loving father~ who never gives up on me~~~" haha, too cute! My three girls are truly blessed to have a daddy who prays for them right from the moment they were conceived. Thank God for answering those prayers. Hallelujah!

1 John 3：1a
Behold, how great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God!

約 翰 一 書 3 : 1a
你 看 父 赐 给 我 们 是 何 等 的 慈 爱 ， 使 我 们 得 称 为 神 的 儿 女..."
