We rode into town the other day Just me and my daddy He said I'd finally reached that age And I could ride next to him on a horse That of course was not quite as wide
We heard a crowd of people shouting And so we stopped to find out why And there was that man that my dad said he loved But today there was fear in his eyes
So I said daddy why are they screaming Why are the faces of some of them beaming? Why is he dressed in that bright purple robe? I'll bet that crown hurts him more then he shows Daddy please can't you do something? He looks as though he's gonna cry You said he was stronger then all of those guys Daddy please tell me why? Why does everyone want him to die?
Later that day the sky grew cloudy And daddy said I should go inside Somehow he knew things would get stormy Boy was he right But I could not keep from wondering If there was something he had to hide So after he left I had to find out I was not afraid of getting lost So I followed the crowds To a hill where I knew men had been killed And I heard a voice come from the cross
And it said father why are they screaming? Why are the faces of some of them beaming? Why are they casting their lots for my clothes? This crown of thorns hurts me more then it shows Father please can't you do something? I know that you must hear my cry's I thought I could handle a cross of this size Father remind me why? Why does everyone want me to die? When will I understand why?
My precious son I hear them screaming I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming But soon I will clothe you in robes of my own Jesus this hurts me much more then you know But this dark hour I must do nothing Though I've heard your unbearable cries The power in your blood Destroys all of the lies Soon you'll see past their unmerciful lies Look there below See the child Trembling by her father's side Now I can tell you why She is why you must die

Most probably our family will be moving...
and there's this problem about which chruch we will be attending.
You know, I've been rised in a Chinese Methodist church alll my life.
And yesterday, was in the car with mum, she said she wanted to go to a chinese congregation once we moved to the new place.
Me?
I wasn't very pleased with that idea.. I've had a taste of attending an english congregation a handful of times.. and I really like it.
English sermon somehow speaks to me. I can really relate to it better.
Maybe you'd say that I'm just bias.
I prefer English then Mandrin so I say this.
and I can adapt to Mandrin, no problem but because I keep telling myslfe I don't like it..
I end up really not liking it...
Given a choice I'd jump to a English churchanytime..
but since my Dad loves my mum so much, he always follows her to which chruch she prefers.
And she always choose a chinese congregation.
so our family always goes to a chinese church wheather I like it or not.
I'm not complaing.. I'd like to think I'm not..
since it doesn't matter what language we worship God in, as long as it's the same God.
I'd like to say I love God enough to not mind this language thing...
But is it really wrong to want to go to a congregation which you feel at ease and know you'd really fit in?
Not that I don't fit in a chinese chruch, but whenever sermons are given in chinese, Biblical names of prophats and names of places just sounds so long and boring..
I wish mandrin would appeal to me.. but it dosen't.
I love english.
I love to worship God in english.
To listen to His words in English.
I'm 19 now. Old enough to choose. Almost an adult..
Can I? :(
