Goodnight Father, Teach Me To Pray - 阿哲的晚禱

克非寫了一首中文的晚禱，我們都很喜歡，也都試唱，但遇到一點問題：因為性格不同，歌詞幾乎都要改，才能給小小和我唱。

改了蠻久，後來，克非乾脆整首英文重寫，然後分別出了三個人的量身版。小小的已經錄好並且發佈了。我的今天完工了。我也來禱告一下，雖然，我只有在事情很大條的時候才會想到天父，不過牧師說，恩典不是因為你做了什麼不做什麼才有的，恩典是白白得來的，你不能不敬畏。是的，克非寫給敏哲的詞，完全是這樣的。

預告一下，克非可能不會立刻出他的英文晚禱，不過，應該不會晚過聖誕節吧？另外，我們有一首聖誕歌，早就錄好了，還在很龜毛地修，因為還來得及今年發。

有感動的話要告訴我欸。

Father,
I don't really know
how to do this

Topher probably does
Kristy definitely does

Me?

I usually remember You
when things are already
pretty bad

Sorry about that

Nothing happened today
that should've broken me

I went to work
answered people
ate something
came home

Normal stuff

Still, somehow
by the time the night got here
I was tired of being me

Not in a dramatic way

Just tired

There's probably somebody
having a much worse night

Some kid who's scared
some old man alone
someone waiting outside a room
for a doctor to come out

Someone who already knows
the answer
but keeps hoping
they heard it wrong

Take care of them first

I'm serious

I'll manage

Probably

I don't know their names

You do

That's kind of Your thing
I guess

So...

please

don't miss anybody tonight

If tomorrow's going to be bad
okay

I can take bad

Just don't let me
make it worse

Give me enough sense
to shut up when I should

Enough courage
to speak when I shouldn't stay quiet

And maybe
a little strength

Nothing heroic

Just enough
to get out of bed
and try again

And there's some people
I should probably forgive

I'm working on it

Very slowly

There are some people
who probably need
to forgive me too

Also fair

I don't know
how You're supposed
to sort all that out

Good luck with that

...sorry

That sounded rude

Look

I know I joke
when I don't know what else to do

I know I act like
nothing gets to me

That's not exactly true

Some things stay

Some names stay

Some nights stay longer
than they should

And sometimes

I really don't know
what to do with them

So if tomorrow
can be a little better

great

If it can't

stay anyway

That's enough

I think

And if somebody else
needs the good part
more than I do

give it to them

I'll figure something out

Anyway...

thanks for listening

I know I don't say that much

And...

take care of them first

Really

I'm okay

...mostly

Amen

In Jesus' name.
...that's how you end this, right?
