What Faith Can Do



What Faith Can Do Lyrics

Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes and make a new beginning
Anyone can feel the ache
You think it’s more than you can take
But you are stronger, stronger than you know
Don’t you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

It doesn’t matter what you’ve heard
Impossible is not a word
It’s just a reason for someone not to try
Everybody’s scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It’ll be alright
Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do

Overcome the odds
You don't have a chance
(That’s what faith can do)
When the world says you can’t
It’ll tell you that you can!

I’ve seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn’t ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I’ve seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That’s what faith can do
That's what faith can do!
Even if you fall sometimes
You will have the strength to rise

流感,信心 zz

http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_4a9c4a4f0100folm.html

今天,美国爱荷华州卫生部门确认,一只13岁的家猫被感染H1N1,成为第一只从人感染甲流的猫。

连日来,加拿大甲流疫苗供不应求,非高危人群可能要到十二月底才有机会接受疫苗。

人们在流感的恐慌里焦虑,前所未有的警惕周围打喷嚏的人。媒体宣传,最终,可能50%到80%的人会被感染。人心怯怯,不知今冬明春如何能逃过这一大劫。

我夹杂在所有的恐慌和猜想里,雾里看花,云中猜月。终是没有得出准备接受还是不接受疫苗的结论。今天,有人在网上问我,是否从此事看出什麽有关《圣经》的事儿。经他这麽一提醒,我还真想起一些关于流感和《圣经》的事儿。

大概是年初的时候,我的一位朋友给我一个旅游的宣传单张。单张介绍的是德国一个叫Oberammergau的小镇。十七世纪,在这个小镇发生了一件大 事。当时,黑死病(Bubonic Plague)肆虐欧洲,40%的意大利人成为牺牲品。在英国,35,000多伦敦人为此丧命,在德国,15,000慕尼黑居民终是没有逃过黑死病的咒诅。1633年,当Oberammergau感染黑死病的死亡人数从1632年10月的一人,飙升到1633年3月的20人时,这个村里的居民一起作了一件看似很不理智的事情。他们全村人聚在一起向上帝祷告,呼求上帝保护他们脱离灾难。同时,他们也向上帝起誓说:如果上帝救他们脱离灾难,他们就每隔十年在全村上演关于耶稣生平的舞台剧。后来,奇妙的事发生了,从他们祷告起誓后,村里再没有一人死于黑死病。按着他们向上帝的起誓,1634年,第一场关于耶稣生平的舞台剧 “ Passion Play" 在Oberammergau拉开了帷幕。

375年过去了,Oberammergau的居民始终一代一代承传着他们当年的誓约。这期间,不断有电影制片商出天价要他们出卖版权,要把它搬上大屏幕。可是,制片商七次邀片,Oberammergaur人七次拒绝。
375 年过去了,每十年,全村的男女老少一起上台演戏,每十年,全世界超过百万的游人和朝圣者来到Oberammergau观看这个有关信心的神迹。

昨天和老公谈到信心,老公和我分享他的灵性导师和他的谈话。
灵性导师说:“你听说过《圣经》说,信心可以叫山移动”
老公回答说:“是”
灵性导师说:“在信心里,没有高山,只有上帝”。
