林書豪近日在NBA焦點球賽上一鳴驚人,成為了媒體爭相採訪的焦點。年僅23歲的林書豪卻未有因此而心高氣傲,在每次接受媒體訪問時,他都會見證上帝在他的生命中的重要地位,將讚美與榮耀歸予上帝。林書豪得到了很多主內弟兄們的鼓勵,基督徒歌手MC Jin(歐陽靖)亦被林書豪的故事所感動而寫了一首新歌Nick Of Time。
MC Jin介紹新歌說,他大約一年前曾看過林書豪分享信仰的一篇文章,可能因為林書豪的背景與他相似都是美籍華人,而且當時自己的信仰也在尋找中,所以他特別受到激勵。後來,林書豪進了金洲戰士隊,MC Jin萌生了為林書豪寫一首歌的念頭。雖然他已經寫好了一首歌Warriors(戰士),但一直覺得這首歌的整體內容尚需改進而沒有推出來。很巧合地,林書豪後來也被金山戰士隊釋出。
MC Jin說:「當他繼續上路到休斯頓,直到最後加入了紐約人。我想我可以很踏實地說,神在這位弟兄身上所做的工,感化和激勵了我們無數人的生命。」
MC Jin 後來再寫的這首新歌Nick Of Time,希望將林書豪和眾多弟兄姊妹都經歷過的上帝見證出來:祂總是在最關鍵的時間領我度過(HE always come thru in the nick of time)。
欣賞MC Jin新歌Nick Of Time:
Yeah I been on my grind
reachin' for the top and You've been on my mind
they stready tryin' to stop my shine
but it's always been Yours its never been mine
You always come thru just in the nick of time
You come thru in the nick of time
You come thru in the nick of time
so I give it up to You everytime I shine
See this if life to me to you it's entertainment
its quite intricate and only I can explain it
to say I've come a long way would be an understatement
the moment of truth every single one is savored
chasing greatness not the pressure that it came with
far from picture perfect observe as I paint it
dealing with the games highs and lows
you win some you lose some yeah I suppose
but when the sweet smell of victory is by my nose
I see whats goin' on even when my eyes are closed
guarantee you're not stoppin' me or blockin' me
all I need is one shot promised you'll be shocked to see
the outcome I don't just play to win
everytime I lace up yeah I play for Him
doin' my all to make sure that Your glory is known
while they fighting for the title see the King on His throne
Yeah I been on my grind
reachin' for the top and You've been on my mind
they stready tryin' to stop my shine
but it's always been Yours its never been mine
You always come thru just in the nick of time
You come thru in the nick of time
You come thru in the nick of time
so I give it up to You everytime I shine
Yes I'm really here to serve You not just pretend to
with each setback I intend to
learn from experience and get better with time
no matter what I achieve none of the credit is mine
in the grand scheme of things You're the head of design
and in any circumstance You said I'll be fine
the ultimate play maker I follow Your lead
never find need to feed into these naysayers
who repeatedly told me that I would never make
You're probably testing me to see if I could take it
the bond between us they could never break it
all that You have given me I shall not forsake it
Your grace patience and all of Your love
which one don't I deserve it's all the above
where amazing happens I love this game
only one reason I'm playing and God is His name
Yeah I been on my grind
reachin' for the top and You've been on my mind
they stready tryin' to stop my shine
but it's always been Yours its never been mine
You always come thru just in the nick of time
You come thru in the nick of time
You come thru in the nick of time
so I give it up to You everytime I shine
