Our Father ( 天主經)

Song: Our Father

Lirics:
Hear our prayer
We are your children and we're gathered here today
We're gathered here to pray
Hear our cry
Lord we need your mercy and we need you peace today
Hear us as we pray

Chorus
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Our Father hear us from heaven
Forgive our sins we pray
Hear our song, as it rises to heaven
May your glory fill the earth like waters in the seas
Clean our hearts and remove anything
That is standing in your way
Of loving us today!

REPEAT CHORUS
And though we are few
We're sorrounded by many who have crossed that river before
And this is the song we'll be singing forever
Holy is the Lord x2

Here is the video:



Chinese version:

我們的天父
願祢的名受顯揚
願祢的國來臨
願祢的旨意奉行在人間
如同在天上求祢今天賞給我們日用的食糧
求祢寬恕我們的罪過如同我們寬恕別人一樣
不要讓我們陷於誘惑 但救我們免於凶惡 阿們

Here is the song:

The first class is Junior two E class.

The second one is Junior two G class

The third one is Junior H class

I only teach three classes of eight graders only.

Holy Music

I got the invitation to be the judge for the Holy musical competition. Personally, I do not understand about the Holy musics very much. I am Christian and I came from Christian family, so I know the songs which we san at the church. In terms of competition, I do not know.

All the junior twos (8th graders) have to sing in this competition. The two English Advance clases won't participate in this competition. I really enjoying their rehersals. I hope this competition, they will be wonderful.

Touching Story

Usually, when parents got diverced, children usually do not want to accep another mom. This is very touching story of a step mother who changed Eric's life. I will use this story as a role- model of most powerful woman who changed lives.

The English here is very clearly spoken and easy to understand for second language learners.

I hope this sotry will touch my studets' lives.
