上週我們介紹了Vision，中文解釋異象，也就是上帝將他的藍圖放在你的眼前，特別的是今天我們要介紹的不是上帝的藍圖，而是執行這個藍圖的人，也就是執行異象的人(Visionary)，今天我們要介紹的是在黑人福音中地位舉足輕重的一個獎項，也是我們經常在節目中提到的恆星獎(Stellar Awards)而這個恆星獎就是由，知名的影視大亨Donald Jackson所創立的，本周我們將介紹恆星獎，與今年恆星獎的年輕得獎獎，就讓我們按下播放鍵，一起感受靈魂的震動。

Maybe I succeed a little
I jumped up from the floor to the middle
You think I want the credit I don’t
Cause the glory, ain’t made for me, no
I know who sits on the throne
Who makes the stage and writes the songs
And I know I, couldn’t do this on my own
And as much as I complain
I’ve seen more sunshine than rain
And I could thank, my lucky stars
But that’s not where, my blessings are
No they come from, the Father’s heart
Not the sky, not chance, but truth is
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
Today I’m in a happy place
And I know it didn’t happen by mistake
I love how He wrote my life
And I love how He sees my heart
So I fall to my knees and say that I’m grateful
For every morning start
So I could thank, my lucky stars
But that’s not where, my blessings are
No they come from, the Father’s heart
Not the sky, not chance, but truth is
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
From the very beginning
This life that I’m living
Was part of Your plan all along
So I don’t thank, my lucky stars
Cause that’s not where, my blessings are
No they come from, the Father’s heart
Not the sky, not chance, but truth is
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
Sing yes, Jesus loves me
Sing yes, Jesus loves me
Sing yes, Jesus loves me
For the bible tells me
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
C’mon one more time
Let me hear you sing
Yes, Jesus loves me
Sing yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
For the bible tells me so
Yeah
It tells me so
See I don’t thank, my lucky stars
Cause that’s not where, my blessings are
No they come from, the Father’s heart
Not the sky, not chance, but truth is
I’m not lucky, I’m loved

Didn’t I conquer this last year?
Tell me what I missed ’cause I fear
That it’s coming back up again
Must be something I ate
Some song, some show, some hate
The devil wants to extend the game, free throws
And when it ends he wants to make the sequel
‘Cause if he has another chance
He feels like he can take
My joy, my peace, my faith
See the devil, he learns from your mistakes
Even if you don’t
That’s how he keeps you in cycles, cycles
Cycles, cycles
But I’m not going in cycles, cycles
Cycles, cycles
This will end like I want it to, I win
The enemy will have to lose again
See, I’m a different fighter now
And I have God to thank
‘Cause His joy is my strength
See the devil will learn it’s a mistake
When I am sure
That I’m not going in cycles
I’m not going in cycles
I’m gonna break these cycles
I’m not going in cycles
I’m gonna break these cycles
I’m not going in cycles
Cycles, cycles
I’m not going in cycles
Ooh, so Lord, help me
Be free from all of my passion
See, Your love is enough
To make me new
And help me in these cycles, cycles
Help me in these cycles, ooh Lord, cycles
I need You to help me in these cycles
I rebuke him in the name of Jesus, oh
Cycles, cycles
See I’m not going in cycles
I refuse it, cycles
I refuse it, cycles
Oh, refuse it, cycles
Oh, woe, depression, cycles
Oh, all I’m saying, cycles
Oh, I’m not going in cycles
Yeah, cycles
See, there is power in the name of Jesus
There is power in the name of Jesus
See, there is power in the name of Jesus
To break every cycle, to break every cycle
See, there is power in the name of Jesus
See, there is power in the name of Jesus
There is power in the name of Jesus
To break every cycle, to break all these cycle
To break all these cycle, to break all these cycle
Generation on cycles, financial cycles
Painful cycles, oh, cycles
我靈歌唱(每週五晚上10點播出)
帶您進入黑人靈魂福音歌曲的世界 主持：堯堯
黑人在美國曾淪為奴隸兩三百年，他們只能在週日的下午帶著一把吉他來到密西西比河畔，透過憂鬱的曲調抒發他們對生活的不滿以及對家鄉的思念，這就是「藍調」音樂的起源。當這些人有了信仰以及對永恆的盼望，從心靈的深處向上帝吶喊出的生命祈禱，又造就出了充滿穿透力的靈魂福音歌曲。在這個節目裡堯堯老師要帶我們進入一個對華人來說很陌生的音樂領域「黑人靈歌」的世界，喜歡靈魂福音歌曲的朋友們，千萬不要錯過，每週五晚上10點鐘的「我靈歌唱」！
