王书亚：赞美是天上的能力
（摄影 阿东：13520650665）

（广平按：感谢赞美神！因着神的旨意和恩典，我找着了成都的王书亚弟兄为李思琳的赞美诗专辑《奇异恩典》作序，王弟兄的序言写得真好！书亚弟兄是优秀的作家，他在《南方人物周刊》开设的“电光倒影”专栏受到许多人的追读；最近出版的《天堂沉默了半小时》也在网络上掀起了阅读风潮，如果你每月只读一本书，这本书是你最佳选择！经上说，“人活着，不是单靠食物，乃是靠着神口里所说的一切话”。事实就是如此。思琳专辑下周可以顺利面世，要感谢的人很多！我的音乐朋友邓伟标，林昊东，杨兰香，孙绍坚，没有你们的爱与帮助，这个美妙的想法不可能那么快完成！还有小雅，你的英文翻译真快而且认真！谢谢大家！）

赞美是天上的能力
——序李思琳专辑《奇异恩典》
王书亚
一个被上帝得着的声音，能得着多少双耳朵？
我们听过的歌太多，走过的路太窄。我们一生的耳朵，就如一截电线，几亿个声音在里面拥挤、呼召和找寻。最美的声音，透过布满尘埃的耳膜，如何被我们识别出来，我们掏钱、付款，让这声音成为灵魂洗耳恭听的一部分。
有两种声音是最美的，一是天上的声音俯伏降卑，一是地上的声音抬起头来。前一种是华人音乐里稀有的恩典，后一种是华人音乐里罕见的赞美。
绝妙的音乐，绝不是天籁。绝妙的音乐是从天父而来的爱和恩典，与人间的赞美回应，按着一个美好的意思，在云端相遇了。听李思琳，你能听见一个古老的传说。就是谦卑的人升高，有一天被提到半空，颂赞荣耀，接应一位宇宙的君王。那声音就在空中绽放，缓缓降临，落地，随着最后一个分贝的停止，从天上来的奇异恩典，就住在地上一张黑胶CD里，以一个少女纯真的赞美，为他的行宫和宝座。
我们的音乐缺乏赞美，因为赞美是天上的能力，是一个少女嘴唇的果子。
没有恩典的爱，是哀愁。没有赞美的爱，是自恋。惟独那滋润人的，也必得滋润。当李思琳开口的时候，音乐在汉语中的意义，发生了些微的改变。我们有过太多的偶像，太多排着队的声音，等着被我们遗忘。因为碌碌无为的生命，抓不住的意义，MP3和耳塞，把我们隔离在一种音乐、一张CD、一个爱人和一个世界之间。一个歌手，仿佛是我们与真实世界之间的一个屏障，是我们与信仰之间的一座金牛。
这是一张关乎爱与恩典的专辑。但这里的爱，异乎情人的眼泪，也异乎远山的呼唤。当这首两百年来感动人类的圣诗《奇异恩典》被重新填词、编曲，从李思琳的嗓子里流出，我们的耳朵终于等来一次洗礼。某个意义上，这是一个前所未有的歌者，她本是嘴唇不洁的人，又住在耳朵不洁的民中。但她的声音，却出人意外地，被每一个音符洗得比雪更白。这首李思琳版的《奇异恩典》，以现代汉语的方式，得着了天上赞美的能力；以黄皮肤的呼吸、声道和音色，叫我们听见了一个道成肉身的声音。
人间一切次佳的歌声，都是偶像。但最美的歌声不是偶像，最美的歌声叫人听见她的背后，有一个我们原来听不见的和声。最美的歌声叫人恍然大悟，原来这是一个与上帝同工的合唱。
当你听见如溪水边、青草地一样稳妥的“爱是恒久忍耐、又有恩慈”，当你听见《爱把恨打败》这样一个赐人力量、擦去眼泪的真实故事；这张专辑真正叫你听见的，已不是李思琳；直到你听见有一个大声音，从宝座上出来说：
“这是我所喜悦的”。
因为赞美是天上的能力，赞美能打开门。
门是窄的，门是我们梦寐以求的。
那一位开门就无人能关、关门就无人能开的，为着我们，赐下了李思琳的声音；为着李思琳，赐下了我们的耳朵。

Praise Is Ability of God
——Preface of Li Silin’s Amazing Grace
Wang Shuya
How many people can listen to the sound which can be heard by God ?
We’ve listened to too many songs and our road was too narrow. How can we identify the most beautiful voice among millions of voices? We would like to buy this kind of voice and make this voice be a part of our soul.
There are two kinds of beautiful voice in the world, one is from the heaven, the other is from the earth. The former is rare grace in Chinese music, the latter is unusual praise in Chinese music.
The scrumptious music is not sound of nature absolutely.The perfect music is Love and grace which come from God and the praise on the earth meeting at the heaven according to a beautiful meaning. Listen to Li Silin you can hear an ancient legend. It made lowly people rising. This voice praises glory and monarch of the universe .At last love and grace from God fall down and live in this CD in form of a girl's pure praise.
There is lack of praise in our music because praise is ability in the heaven and from a girl's mouth.
Love without grace is sorrow. Love without praise is narcissism. Only who loves the others can gain people's love. When Li Silin is singing, the meaning of music in Chinese changes a little. We have too many idols waiting for our forgetting. A commonplace life is no meaning. MP3 and earphones segregate us from a kind of music, a piece of cd, lover and the world. A singer just likes a wall between us and the true world , a golden ox between us and our belief.
This piece of CD is about love and grace.But hrer love is different from lover’s tears and also not a call beyond mountains. Amazing Grace moved people for 200 years and today it’s rearranged and rewritten the lyric. When we heard it our soul got baptism. She’s an unprecedented singer whose voice is so pure. Li Silin’s Amazing Grace got the ability of praise from the heaven.
All general sounds are idols. But the most beautiful voice is not idol. We can hear a concord that we couldn’t hear before behind the most beautiful voice. The most beautiful voice can make people be enlightened suddenly. When you heard a voice of “Love is patient and kind” just like water flowing and “Love defeats hate” which is a true story can give people strength, What you hear is not Li Silin at that time. Until you hear a voice: “This is what I am joy.”
Because praise is ability from the heaven.Praise can open doors. The door is narrow. The door is what we long for earnestly. Li Silin’s voice is that God bestows us , for Li Silin he bestows us hearing.”
