Zeng Xiangyi's Thanksgiving Poems

It takes a lifetime to show independent elegance.

This is a song from Stream Of Praise's album Let Love Walk. It was composed by Yu Sandy and Zeng Xiangyi, and lasted for 4 minutes and 36 seconds. Since its release, it has been loved and welcomed by many brothers and sisters, and has been sung in Chinese churches all over the world. The whole content is as follows:

Holy spirit, please come, I am weak, you know, I am speechless, you sigh, and you plead for me yourself. You explored my heart and made me obey God's will. You healed my soul and made my life beautiful again. Ah, I can't stop praising, ah, I can't stop thanking. Although you cried all night, you will cheer in the morning. The grace of the Lord is life-long.

This song was written by David when he offered the temple. David had sinned against God because of the number of people, which led to the serious consequence that "the Lord sent a plague on Israel". In one day, "from Dan to Beersheba, 70 thousand people died among the people." When David realized his transgression, he deeply regretted and hated his evil deeds.

He asked God to punish and discipline him severely. So, under the guidance of the prophet Gad, he bought the threshing floor of Anan, built an altar there, offered sacrifices and begged for forgiveness. God listened to David's prayer and the plague stopped at once.

Yes, as the song says, the grace of the Lord is a lifetime, and his anger is only a blink of an eye. Even if we make the biggest mistake, as long as we realize our sin like David and come to Jesus to pray and ask for his forgiveness, Jesus will be lenient with us, despise our transgressions, accept our change of heart, and fill our hearts with peace and joy again and dedicate them to God according to his gentle love and compassion.
