Lets practise chinese and guitar!

Today, I decided that I was not THAT far behind and that I wanted to play guitar even though my nails are not cut and that I wanted to sing even though I am sick (but on the road to recovery!). And out of the blue, I had an awesome idea that I was gonna practise my chinese too!
And then I had another awesome idea after I figured out the chinese words with my mom that I wanted to film it so that I can find out how good I pronounce chinese words!

So there you have it, the result of my awesome ideas! Watch if you dare!

I actually really like this song. Sorry if I butchered it. Read the words (below) so you can figure out what I am singing.



If you are going to watch the video, I would prefer for you to read the words while you watch it. Dont stare at my face. It's awkward...
This is the translation of what the song says. Translated by me so please inquire about the validity of it.

In the past, I would have never thought, that I would follow You in my life.
I never dared to think, that I would devote my life to You.
Only knowing that You loved me, and gave Yourself for me.
I run after and follow You.
I never dreamed that the path of the cross was easy,
Never thought that my cross was easy to bear,
For You said "a servant is not greater than his master.
Come and follow Me."

Give thanks for Your words of grace, that nourishes and comforts my heart.
Give thanks for Your hand of grace that protects and carries me through all difficulties.
You said, "My grace is sufficient for you. Come and follow Me."
I never longed to be a spiritual hero (?)
I never desired to be admired everywhere I go.
Only knew You called, "who will go for Us?"
I will follow You only.

My brothers, let not your legs be tired.
My brothers, let not your arms be down.
The night is far spent,
The harvest is plentiful and white.
Follow the Lord closely.


Song is from the cd 歌唱的民族-track 09

Hey nice song!
I like this album a lot too :>
Listen to it almost every other day.
Practicing a language through songs are really a fun way to grasp the "sense" of the language (haha, cos I do that for my spanish)...especially with hymns :D
Way to go!
