至高君王——無言的詩

這首歌為參加真証傳播的詩歌比賽而作，他們的要求是根據主題——“我心尊主為大；我靈以神我的救主為樂。”（路1:46-47）發揮。我原本不打算參加，但一個主內姊妹把比賽的資料發給我，鼓勵我參賽。好吧，如果我有靈感便遞交作品參賽好了！過了一陣子，有一天這歌突如其來，從“我心尊主為大”開始，一蹴而就便寫出《至高君王》這歌；無言的詩是它的音樂版。

雖然這歌沒有帶來獎項，我覺得有趣的是——比賽在香港舉行，我在美國參賽無法以北美常用的付款方式支付比賽費用，恰好司琴的丈夫當時正好在港，他雖未信主，卻願意幫助我解決問題，相信他也有機會聽到此歌。我想：需要不停地撒福音的種子，縱然不知今日所作的有否或何時才有果效，不打緊啊！重要的是，我作該作的，由接受的人自己選擇如何回應。我只要謹守自己的崗位，用心跟從主的吩咐，不要問結果，因為一切皆在祂的手中！

Story behind the song

“Worship Beyond Words – Almighty God – Supreme King”

I wrote this song solely to enter a hymn’s competition run by "Good News Communication International Ltd." The criteria for the competition revolved around the theme, "My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior" (Luke 1:46-47). I didn't initially intend to participate, but a sister in Christ sent me the competition information and encouraged me to join. I thought to myself, "Okay, if I come up with a song by inspiration, then I will." After a while, this song came to me suddenly: it started with "My soul glorifies the Lord" and was finished in no time. The instrumental version is titled "Almighty God – Supreme King – Worship Beyond Words."

This song did not win any awards. What I found interesting, though, was that since this competition was held in Hong Kong, I couldn't pay the fee using normal North American methods. Our pianist's spouse happened to be there at the time; he is not a believer but was willing to help me out. I realized he must have listened to the song somehow. That experience inspired me to understand that we must constantly sow the seeds of the gospel. It doesn't matter whether our actions today bring immediate harvests or when to see the impacts. It's of utmost importance that I do my part and let the recipients decide how to respond. Since everything is in His hands, I diligently do my job, follow His commands, and do not ask for the results!
