A sharing by James Ho for this song:
Ever since I became a Christian, I have experienced God’s blessings in many ways. Time and time again, when I stumbled and fell into the snare of sin, it was Yahweh God in His mercy and grace who lifted me up and strengthened me. I took for granted that if God loves me, He would always deliver me out of trouble.
As I grow in my relationship with God, I am starting to understand that every time I succumb to sin, it grieves God’s heart precisely because He loves me. I have come to grips that love is mutual.
I not only want to be the one whom God loves, rather I long to be the one who loves God with all my heart, all my soul, and all my being. I want to live for Him and to never let Him down. This song ‘All I want’ expresses my heart’s desire in response to God’s immense love for me.
自从我成为基督徒,我多次经历到神的保守和祝福。每当我跌倒、失败陷入罪的网罗中,是雅伟神以祂的慈爱和恩典扶持我并使我重新得力。我总以为每当我遇到困难时,因为神爱我,理所当然祂必然拯救我脱离一切的凶恶。
当我与神的关系进深时,我才领悟到每当我失败犯罪,正因为神爱我,祂也会忧愁伤痛。原来爱是相互的。
我不只想成为神爱的人,我更渴望能成为爱神的人。要尽心、尽力、尽意的回应祂的大爱。我一生所求是永不辜负神对我的期望。这诗歌‘我一生所愿‘是来表达我对神的心志。
