For the week.

We were singing this song during worship today. It was titled loosely as "Psalms 32". Upon closer inspection it does have elements of psalms 32, but was adapted, not quoted.

And so as we sang I noticed how familiar the song was, like I sung it somewhere before.. It was in chinese of course.

我的神恳求你的恩典遮盖我的罪, 
我为我过犯深感懊悔。 


and as I sang the following line:
我要向你承认我的罪与不义, 
向你俯伏下跪 


Tears just came bursting out. 
I couldn't so much as to open my mouth and continue. 

Oh God, if You permit it, let me confess all the wrong I did the past week. 
All the offence I took upon myself and all the proud indignation.
All the times my jaw tightened in anger...
and more than that, the time you have given squandered away trivially as I sat in my room..
For all the times I worked half heartedly on the lesson plan, only to turn aside to other things for a breather (what was I even turning to? You have the words of life)
For all the moments during sports when I played for praise... 

For the things I should have and should not have, please forgive me.
How else shall I face this week? 
我要现在向你献上我的祷告, 
求你拯救我使我不至羞愧, 
隐藏我保佑我环绕我引导我, 
我要一生致死跟随。

Finally, from Psalms 32:
我 向 你 陈 明 我 的 罪 , 不 隐 瞒 我 的 恶 。 我 说 : 我 要 向 耶 和 华 承 认 我 的 过 犯 , 你 就 赦 免 我 的 罪 恶 。
