20111230_How Love Wins

這首歌一樣出自the Story這張專輯
是誰唱的？
上面寫Thief
聖經裡，誰是這樣的名字？

My life began like any other man
Held beneath a mother’s loving gaze
Somewhere between now and then
I lost the man I could have been
Took everything that wasn’t mine to take
But Love believes that it is not too late

Only one of us deserves this cross
A suffering that should belong to me
Deep within this man I hang beside
Is the place where shame and grace collide
And it’s beautiful agony
That He believes it’s not too late for me

This is how Love wins, every single time
Climbing high upon a tree where someone else should die
This is how Love heals, the deepest part of you
Letting Himself bleed into the middle of your wounds
This is what Love says, standing at the door
You don’t have to be who you’ve been before
Silenced by His voice, death can’t speak again
This is how Love wins

Did you see this moment from the start
That we would drink this of cup of suffering?
I wonder, did we ever meet?
Childhood games in dusty streets
For all my many sorrows and regrets
Nothing could compare to just this one
That in the presence of my King
I cannot fall upon my knees
I cannot carry You up to Your throne
You instead, will carry me back home.

This is how Love wins, every single time
Climbing high upon a tree where someone else should die
This is how Love heals, the deepest part of you
Letting Himself bleed into the middle of your wounds
This is what Love says, standing at the door
You don’t have to be who you’ve been before
Silenced by His voice, death can’t speak again
This is how Love wins

What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood, nothing but the blood
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood, nothing but the blood
Because this is what Love say, standing at the door
You don’t have to be who you’ve been before
And silenced by His voice, death can’t speak again
This is how Love wins.

想到了嗎？那與耶穌一起走最後一程的兩人其中一人。
四福音裡分別以強盜、人、犯人描述他們。
馬太福音「那和祂同釘的強盜也是這樣的譏誚祂」。
馬可福音「那和祂同釘的人也是譏誚祂」。
路加福音裡提到的字眼是「犯人」，其中一個譏誚，另一個則是責備這譏誚的人並求主得國降臨時記念他。
約翰福音只提到有兩個人和耶穌一起釘十字架，沒提到他們有什麼互動。

之前我對這張專輯的Daniel和Esther這兩首非常喜歡
今天想說聽/看Thief是說些什麼？
很有內心戲的感觸。
但願我們都是搥胸不敢抬頭望天的稅吏或這強盜。
我們（身邊有）多少人這樣？又是誰偷竊殺害毀壞了這些人（含我們）？
