信仰：福音与敬拜

基督信仰里诗歌是一个很重要的信仰文化，但是一般上诗歌可以发挥的力量在信众中只是流于音乐的旋律，歌词的内容，或者受众直接把诗歌引用在日常生活中。

教会的诗歌能够流传百年、千年除了圣灵感动的工作，信众的回应及认识也很重要。其实有些学者认为信仰就是认识神。往往我们对于认识只停留在表面而无法更深入的理解到认知的层面。

但愿诗歌给我们带来不只是感官上的享受更是情感与意志上与上帝的契合，因为我们从认识--》相信--》敬拜与事奉。

在这栏目里会介绍一些我了解的诗歌。

这首诗歌是我和香港的网上福音团契的小心姐妹学来的，我很喜欢诗歌的涵义，诗歌里提醒我们与上帝的关系，我们成为人的目的是要成为在神眼里的完全人。

最近在网上为了找一些歌曲尝试打“美丽”竟然让我找到失去很久的这敬拜音符♪，也让我回想曾经在网上与同工们配搭的美好时光。


教会唯一的根基这是一首令我非常感动的圣诗。

教會唯一的根基


教會惟一的根基，是主耶穌基督，蒙主重造恩新奇，栽培澆灌祝福
主從天上來尋她，為主聖潔新婦，捨身流血的代價，豎立永遠基礎

雖從萬邦選出來，信徒都成一體，教會合一的根據，一主一信一洗
同尊唯一的聖名，同餐唯一天糧，同懷唯一的希望，同蒙恩愛久長

雖他歷盡了艱辛，受人譏笑譭謗，內爭分裂了他身，異端叛逆中傷
聖徒焦慮對問說：黑夜到底多長，哭泣即將變歌聲，轉瞬便見晨光

他雖在地卻聯合，真神三位一體，已享安息的眾聖，奧祕永恆團契
直至欲穿的望眼，看見光榮家鄉，到時凱旋的教會，得享安樂無疆

The church's one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord; she is his new creation by water and the Word. From heaven he came and sought her to be his holy bride; with his own blood he bought her, and for her life he died.

2. Elect from every nation, yet one o'er all the earth; her charter of salvation, one Lord, one faith, one birth; one holy name she blesses, partakes one holy food, and to one hope she presses, with every grace endued.

3. Though with a scornful wonder we see her sore oppressed, by schisms rent asunder, by heresies distressed, yet saints their watch are keeping; their cry goes up, "How long?" And soon the night of weeping shall be the morn of song.

4. Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of her war, she waits the consummation of peace forevermore; till, with the vision glorious, her longing eyes are blest, and the great church victorious shall be the church at rest.

5. Yet she on earth hath union with God the Three in One, and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won. O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with thee.
