林书豪近日在NBA焦点球赛上一鸣惊人,成为了媒体争相采访的焦点。年仅23岁的林书豪却未有因此而心高气傲,在每次接受媒体访问时,他都会见证上帝在他的生命中的重要地位,将赞美与荣耀归予上帝。林书豪得到了很多主内弟兄们的鼓励,基督徒歌手MC Jin(欧阳靖)亦被林书豪的故事所感动而写了一首新歌Nick Of Time。
MC Jin介绍新歌说,他大约一年前曾看过林书豪分享信仰的一篇文章,可能因为林书豪的背景与他相似都是美籍华人,而且当时自己的信仰也在寻找中,所以他特别受到激励。后来,林书豪进了金洲战士队,MC Jin萌生了为林书豪写一首歌的念头。虽然他已经写好了一首歌Warriors(战士),但一直觉得这首歌的整体内容尚需改进而没有推出来。很巧合地,林书豪后来也被金山战士队释出。
MC Jin说:"当他继续上路到休斯顿,直到最后加入了纽约人。我想我可以很踏实地说,神在这位弟兄身上所做的工,感化和激励了我们无数人的生命。"
MC Jin 后来再写的这首新歌Nick Of Time,希望将林书豪和众多弟兄姊妹都经历过的上帝见证出来:祂总是在最关键的时间领我度过(HE always come thru in the nick of time)。
欣赏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
