This is a Hokkien christian song. Forgive me for putting such a song in my blog. Knowing that many of you cannot understand hokkien. Well give me sometime I will take it down.
Those who do not understand hokkien, this is a direct translation of the song.
Forever & ever you never stop loving me
Whenever I'm lost, you are there for me
Your love is so amazing
You never leave me nor forsake me
You said I am Your beloved son
My every step You are concerned of
Your love for me is as wide as the heavens
as deep as the sea
You are forever caring for me
You took away all my sorrow
With Your sacrifice & precious blood
You cleansed me from all my sins
My soul is comforted
I received a life of abundance
Jesus I love you
Dearly I love You
Because You first love me
Cleansed me from all my sins
Allowing my heart to be comforted
The Lord's love has saved me
Thoughts:
In fact at times I do prefer hokkien christian song than english ones. Hokkien as a language to some may seem as a rude dialet as compared to others. Yet when you put it into songs of any king, it does has it's own distinct flavor. To me hokkien songs sort of gives me a strong patriotic feeling. For this worship song, it does gives me a strong emotional attachment.
I love the lyrics of this song. If you understand hokkien, the meaning in hokkien is very strong. I really need to love of Jesus to be forever in my life. I have reach a point in life that, I must confess that I don't know how to live without the love of Jesus. The very words in this lyrics, expresses my heart.
All of you may think it's weird.
Why am I so mad about Jesus?
Why am I like so staunch in being a Christian?
Why am I like so "siao !!! siao !!!"?
My friends you see the love of Jesus can never be explained, neither can it be described. It must be felt.
Let me ask you, if you fall in love with someone, isn't it a feeling? Let's make a bet? Who dares to tell me that falling in love doesn't involve feeling. I am willing to give US$1000, to anyone who dares to oppose this 'natural law'.
Friends you see, God created us with feeling & emotions. Although I cannot see & touch Jesus, I know His love for me is real.
Simply because I felt it.
The reason why I love, is simply because He first loves me.
1 John 4:19
We love because he first loved us.
May everyone around me, be able to experience the Love of Jesus.
Than you can fully grasp what I really meant.
