今天來推薦一張很不錯的專輯~

雖然一直以來都覺得自己絕不是很狂熱，或甚至是很虔誠的基督徒 (?)，但基督教裡有關凡事心懷感恩以及正面思考的教誨還是經常覺得受用良多！自從開始開車通勤後也經由老姊推薦開始收聽Life FM (紐國福音電台)。有別於其他國內的廣播電台，早晨節目裡面鼓勵人心的談話內容感覺對提升動力好面對一整天的工作老實說真的有不小的效果~ 本來以為受到長老會的影響除了傳統的詩歌外應該比較難接受現代版的創作與詮釋，但接觸多了以後沒想到也漸漸覺得是個新鮮的改變。接下來介紹的這個美國基督教團體 MIke's Chair 也是幾個禮拜前某天下班回家途中偶然在廣播上聽到的 (偏偏又錯過DJ的介紹所以回家google歌詞好久才終於找到... 本來自以為很會猜歌名但沒想到竟不是 "Show Me" 可惡! XD) 當時播放的這首『People Like Me』一聽到立刻就非常喜歡。雖然歌詞有點黑暗，但搭配上旋律便頓時覺得很打動人心，有種靈魂被洗淨得到救贖的錯覺!? (笑) 同一張專輯內的『All I Can Do』以及『All to Jesus』也是很棒的曲子喔~

People Like Me
Performed by: Mike's Chair feat. Matthew West

What if I told you, what would you say 
Would you stand by me, would you walk away 
What if my walls came down and you saw everything 

All of my weakness
All of my scars
All that I've hidden
Deep in my heart
For so long
And I'm scared to set it free

[Chorus]
Show me a life that's broken can be redeemed
Show me that you can handle my honesty
And help me to know
You'll never let go
Your love won't ever leave
Show me that grace was made
For people like me

You say I'm forgiven
Being restored
But it's hard to feel it
Here in this storm
Torn between who I've been and who I want to be

Jesus, I need You
Need You to be
Hope in the darkness searching for me
Out of this doubt
Lord, help me to believe

[Chorus]

Oh, my weak heart
And Your strong arms
Give me faith when mine is gone
Only trusting in Your mercy
Can't set free
People like me

Show me Your arms are open
Your blood redeems
Show me that You can love
Even me

[Chorus]

For people like me
