Let's DANCE!

Dance / Suzy Wills Yaraei

Verse 1

I’m after Your heart
Why should I be still
When the worship starts, Lord
I’m so in love with You
What can man do
Can’t hold me back anymore

Verse 2
You spin over me
And You are pleased
When I spend myself on You
I’m gonna let go now
Really worship
Letting my dance come forth

Chorus
Dance, dance
Let the spirit move You
Dance, dance
Holy spirit in You



Heather Clark是一位很有恩膏的敬拜主領。她在Florida的復興特會當中,跳了一段先知性的爭戰舞蹈,被貼在youtube上面,有些人回應說她是被邪靈附身,而這是她在她blog中的一段回應:

"At first I was shocked. Then I was a bit hurt. I wanted to be pastoral and explain how dance was scriptural and how it was of God and all that. That was for a few days. Then all of a sudden, people got so ridiculous that I flipped my attitude over and all I could think was “I WILL BECOME EVEN MORE UNDIGNIFIED THAN THIS!!

Because MY Jesus is worthy of more than my apathetic singing and occasional hand lifting. He’s worthy of every dance and song I could give. He’s worthy of a flag, or jump or a spin. He’s worthy if me sky diving if I do it in His name. He’s worthy of climbing the highest mountain. He’s worthy of my painting, my theatre, my poetry. He’s worthy of anything I could possibly give.

I beseech you therefore brethren in view of the mercy of God to present yourselves as living sacrifices before the Lord for this is you REASONABLE act of worship. We do something that costs us something in worship and we think we’re so extravagant. Living our lives completely laid down giving everything, a living sacrifice is only reasonable. It’s elementary. Not extravagant. And I don’t want just reasonable worship. Living life that is all God’s is the bottom line of standard. If I have a gift to give, I better give it. Not I should just hold it back and decide whether i want to use it for God. I better not hold it back. I want to give EVERYTHING in my worship. Everything.

And I will become even more undignified than this."

看懂了嗎?反正主要是在講:我的耶穌配得我獻上一切來祂。我們有時候在敬拜時會做一些需要我們付上代價的事情,我們就認為我們已經做的很好了、做到超過「我們一般需要達到的標準」,可是這其實才是最基本的!一點也都不極端。我不想要只要一個平常、一般的敬拜,我要獻上「一切」!

你知道嗎?我們常覺得上下跳動就已經是我們敬拜的極限了,但你有沒有試過,像「瘋子」一樣轉圈加上身體的動作,就像你在自己房間裡聽音樂有時候會突然發瘋似的開始手足舞蹈。很過癮對吧?

我跟marian現在有名的就是我們的「weird dance」。因為我們雖然不會跳什麼hip hop或其他的舞蹈,但我們會像小孩子一樣的瘋狂的亂轉、手足舞蹈的跳舞。因為神就是這麼的配得,就算失去所有的面子,那又怎麼樣。嘗過那種完全釋放的喜樂,會上癮。那真的是,就算跳到累的要站不起來,還是會跳下去,因為實在太開心了,不跳不行。那種滿足,就是我們一生都在尋求的,看電影、交往、任何想得到的娛樂都無法比較的。

I DON'T CARE HOW YOU LOOK AT ME. MY JESUS IS MUCH MORE IMPORTANT AND WORTHY THAN YOU.
