Amazing Grace-奇異恩典

圖片引用自All Music Guide
高中開始接觸西洋音樂，街上的小唱片行是可以尋寶的地方
比較大的唱片行掛著一張一張的唱片，小唱片行裡各式各樣翻版合輯
與排行金曲卡帶，才是真正口袋能負擔的起的音樂支出
當然所有的音樂都由這些翻版合輯開始

記得手上有一張電影主題曲合輯，封面是李察吉爾的軍官與紳士劇照
不知道在我的錄音機裡播過多少次，聽久了攪帶，還小心翼翼的拖出磁帶
慢慢修好，那張收錄了第一滴血，再看我一眼，軍官與紳士，
第一次接觸..等等當時相當知名的電影歌曲，
那時候也不知道Phill Collins是誰，只知道那首Again All Odd很好聽
而對於一首歌特別印象深刻，只記得電影是絲克伍事件的歌曲
也不知道歌手是誰，直到今日網路資訊發達，才知道這首
Amazing Grace ，原來是梅莉史翠普Meryl Streep所演唱

整首歌只有女聲的輕輕吟唱，沒有配樂就是最好的配樂
夜深人靜的此刻 聽這首歌
別有一番滋味

Amazing Grace

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
We have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.
