Depending on the Holy Spirit

I dunno if you feel the same at times.

Sometimes, when you sing a worship song in Chinese, it really means so much more to you when u sing it in English.

It happened to me a lot. Esp when i'm in SOT and we will sing songs in Bilingual - English and Chinese.

But this is one song that impacted me very much, which is not available in English version. It's translated from Indonesian.

Title of Song: MUJIZAT ITU NYATA
中文主题曲：奇迹必会降临
Lyrics and Tune: Jonathan Prawira

Verse:
全能的神你能力无限 (Omnipotent God Your abilities are limitless)
有了你 (with You)
万事都可能 (nothing is impossible)
从使大山在眼前 (Mountains right in front of us)
你也能够挪去(You can cast it away)
在你绝对没有难成事(Nothing is impossible with You)

Chorus:
主每当我 (Lord, whenever i)
软弱无力 (feel weak)
你的恩典够我用(Your grace is enough for me)
只要我能够相信 (as long as I believe)
奇迹必会降临 (Miracles will happen)
不靠才能 (Not dependent on our abilities)
不靠实力 (Not dependent on our capabilities)
依靠圣灵的能力(But by the strength of the Holy Spirit)
只要我能够呼求 (As long as I humbly ask)
奇迹必能够降临 (Miracles will happen)

Bridge:
只要坚定来宣告 (As we proclaim in faith)
就有奇迹 (Miracles will abound)
坚定相信就必会成就 (As we stand on in faith, success will come)

*Btw, i was the one who put in the English words. As u can see, i've literally translated. The English words can't be sung lah.

Indonesian Lyrics below:

Tak Terbatas Kuasa-Mu Tuhan
Semua Dapat Kau Lakukan
Apa Yang Kelihatan Mustahil Bagiku
Itu Sangat Mungkin Bagi-Mu

Di Saat Ku Tak Berdaya
Kuasa-Mu Yang Sempurna
Ketika Ku Percaya
Mujizat Itu Nyata

Bukan Kar'na Kekuatan
Namun Roh-Mu Ya Tuhan
Ketika Ku Berdoa
Mujizat Itu Nyata

Mujizat Itu Dekat Di Mulutku
Dan Ku Hidup Oleh Percaya

*****

Miracles will abound! Amen.

But what exactly touched me is really the chorus.

主每当我 (Lord, whenever i)
软弱无力 (feel weak)
你的恩典够我用(Your grace is enough for me)
只要我能够相信 (as long as I believe)
奇迹必会降临 (Miracles will happen)
不靠才能 (Not dependent on our abilities)
不靠实力 (Not dependent on our capabilities)
依靠圣灵的能力(But by the strength of the Holy Spirit)
只要我全心呼求 (As long as I humbly ask with all my heart)
奇迹必能够降临 (Miracles will happen)

Sometimes, when we want to like obtain something, we will firstly look at what we have. You can say... "I can do this on my own. I have an MBA... i have brains.... i have so-and-so knowledge qualifications... this and that certification"...... But, as you do it on your own, you become restless, you become frustrated. It seem so hard to do it.

But as we begin to stop depending on ourselves, and lean on the Holy Spirit... We know the will of God for our lives. The going is getting hard. But over here, all the qualifications and certifications, all the what we know in our brains, are all considered as rubbish. Right aside us, is the Holy Spirit, always ready to hold our hands to run this race.

I guess, this is not just a self-confession. I'm sure many of you reading this, will probably be able to relate to what i'm really saying. At so many times, i feel frustrated, as to why things don't happen.... And i feel mentally drained after trying it on my own. And taking time to come to myself... takes time. And u know that, when u should just stop looking at your abilities and capabilities and commit everything into the hands of God, the Holy Spirit will guide us along. And the realization is that, as we trust in the Lord, what seemed so difficult in our pride-on-our-abilities.... everything seem so easy.

So, insteading of ding-donging your own way, just Let Go and Let God!
