"Raise the Holy Hand" was originally sung as Tingting gospel, written by Yang, arranged by Liu Wen, and later arranged by Liu.
"Raise Holy Hands" is a Christian song, but the word "Christianity" is confused when used in Chinese mainland academic circles, which has broad and narrow meanings. Christianity in a broad sense refers to all sects that believe in Jesus Christ as their savior, including Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, Protestantism and other small sects, which means Christianity in English. Christianity in a narrow sense refers to Protestantism.
Due to historical reasons, China people have long been used to calling Protestantism Christianity. Protestant churches in Chinese mainland never call themselves Protestants, only Christianity or Jesus, while Roman Catholicism and Orthodox Church are called Catholicism. In order to solve this chaotic situation, Chinese in Hong Kong and Taiwan refer to Christianity in a broad sense as "Christian religion" to distinguish it from Christianity in a narrow sense, which refers specifically to Protestantism. This usage is now gradually accepted by mainland scholars.
Appreciation of the Lyrics of Raise Holy Hands
Lord, in this complicated world, how difficult it is to live a holy life, how much worldly wisdom to deal with, and how many specious lies there are. How many times have I struggled to exhaustion, how many times have I lingered on the edge of sin, how many times have I been hindered by sin, and how many times have I repented and often committed it again.
Lord, don't let me drift. Give me the courage to refuse sin. I will raise my sacred hands and enter your temple with awe. Lord, don't let me drift. Give me the courage to refuse sin. I will raise my sacred hands and enter your temple with awe. How many times have I struggled to exhaustion, how many times have I lingered on the edge of sin, how many times have I been hindered by sin, and how many times have I repented and often committed it again.
Lord, don't let me drift. Give me the courage to refuse sin. I will raise my sacred hands and enter your temple with awe. Lord, don't let me drift with the tide, let me have the courage to refuse sin. I will raise my sacred hands and enter your temple with awe.
