About Waves - an accidental EP I came up with about grief, when I was dealing with the sudden but terminal cancer and eventual death of my most beloved dog, Leif. I lost Leif to advanced lymphoma, and this is all I could do. Music, after all.
I don’t think I am able to perform these songs live. Maybe never. No one can ever tell you how long grief will last. As a matter of fact, no one should ever tell you how and when to feel. Take your time. Just remember, grief comes like waves, if you’re not standing on your feet, you might be swept away and never found again. In time, you might learn to let it become a part of you. You will learn to live again, with a whole new perspective. Or not.
I am sorry, you are all alone in feeling this, but you’re definitely not alone in this world.
Waves come and go. So does life.
Love lifts you up high, pain gives you weight to put your feet on the ground. You are only complete when you have truly experienced loss, but there’s no rush. In the meantime, may these songs give you some comfort, as they did to me.
Love,
Chet Lam
悼念的悲傷,會像潮水一樣來襲。
悼念就是愛。愛有多深,悼念就有多深。
這張有關接受死亡的專輯是一個意外。2021年6月,就在我知道只有八歲的小狗阿富患上末期淋巴癌的時候,我在音樂製作裏找到一點安慰與出口。
有多少心理準備以及理性分析,悲傷來的時候永遠會把你震撼,在受到巨大衝擊之後拾起碎片,你嘗試重新思考生命及生活。經驗不會對你有幫助,頂多只是讓你知道你自己有某些感覺神經,而每一次的體驗也是新鮮的;再多的意見和智慧都只是不設實際的雜音,世上沒有人可以告訴你怎樣感受,什麼方法才是對的,需要經歷多久… 這是一條很孤獨,而只能夠靠自己走的路。
更糟糕的是,它會用潮水的方式來襲,一下一下拍打你的心。我們不能阻止潮水的來去,唯一可以做的,就是感受,讓所有溫度濕度風雨陽光一一穿過你的身心,謙愻地活在這一刻。
給生命裏曾經失去過什麼的朋友,你並不是一個人。
一峰

death and life 在 Milton Goh Blog and Sermon Notes Facebook 的最佳解答
The Impossible Exam
“There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don’t walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death. For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh; that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (Romans 8:1-4 WEB)
There was once a teacher who punished his badly-behaved class of students by giving them an examination full of the world’s hardest questions spanning across all subjects and disciplines.
“Class, if any of you want to be dismissed from class, you must get full marks in this exam. If not, you will have to stay back for detention every day. To give you all an advantage, you may discuss the questions with your fellow classmates.”
Everyone in the class attempted the exam, but even the smartest students had many mistakes. It seemed impossible.
The classmates were all frantically flipping through all the textbooks in the classroom, but it was no use. The questions were just way out of their level.
Just when it seemed that all hope was lost, the teacher said, “Class, I see that you are all trying your very best to work together to do well on the exam. Tell you what—I cannot cancel the exam, but I will join your class as a student and attempt the exam with you. There is no rule against me joining as a student in your class.”
Since the teacher had set the exam based on the knowledge he had, he easily answered all the questions correctly. To whoever wanted to refer to his answers, the teacher allowed them to see and write the same answers.
The students were all overjoyed. One by one, they copied the answers, and handed in their exam papers, scoring full marks. They were finally able to go home. They had learnt their lesson, and decided to be more studious in the future.
——
God gave the children of Israel the Ten Commandments—an impossible exam for mankind. The Law is perfect, holy, and good, but it was weak through man’s sinful flesh.
Whoever wants to be justified through the Law must keep the Ten Commandments perfectly in both word and deed. Anything short of perfection is considered unrighteous. Everyone fails this exam.
Then, God revealed His master plan: Yahweh the Son became a man to take the impossible exam on our behalf.
He lived a sinless life for thirty-three and a half years, and offered up Himself as our atoning sacrifice for sins. The blood He shed at the cross and His death perfectly fulfilled the Law for everyone.
Whoever wants to refer to His answers can just take His answers as their own and get full marks on their exam. When we place our faith in Jesus as Lord, we share in Jesus’ death, resurrection, and become a new creation in Christ. We are finally eligible to go home to our Abba God in Heaven!
It takes humility for a person to admit that he is a sinner that has no hope of deserving salvation by his own works. God is so holy that even one sinful thought can make you unrighteous. Perfection is needed. The way to be saved is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ as Lord!

God’s Unquenchable Love
“Many waters can’t quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man would give all the wealth of his house for love, he would be utterly scorned.” (Song of Solomon 8:7 WEB)
Your sins were like many waters, but it cannot quench God’s love for you.
When the children of Israel were about to cross from the wilderness to the land of Canaan, they stood before the river Jordan. The ark of the covenant entered the river first, and the waters parted, gathering up as a heap far away over the city of Adam. This is a picture of Jesus removing our sins, even all the way back to Adam’s original sin, by taking God’s judgment for sin in His own body at the cross.
Jesus stripped Himself of His divine glory, became a man, was humiliated like a criminal, suffered excruciatingly and died a bloody death.
Jesus gave all the wealth of His house for love. He did that because He loves you.
It does not make any sense. You might call such a love ‘foolish’. That is just how much God loves you.
“A certain ruler asked him, saying, “Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus asked him, “Why do you call me good? No one is good, except one—God. You know the commandments: ‘Don’t commit adultery,’ ‘Don’t murder,’ ‘Don’t steal,’ ‘Don’t give false testimony,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother.’” He said, “I have observed all these things from my youth up.” When Jesus heard these things, he said to him, “You still lack one thing. Sell all that you have, and distribute it to the poor. You will have treasure in heaven. Come, follow me.” But when he heard these things, he became very sad, for he was very rich.” (Luke 18:18-23 WEB)
When Jesus tested the rich young ruler by asking him to sell all his possessions and give the proceeds to the poor, the man could not do it.
Jesus is the true rich forever-young ruler from Heaven who has all the best treasures. At the cross, He sold everything and gave it all to you.
He was made poor so that we might become rich. He was treated like the worst sinner so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him!
Receive Jesus’ unquenchable love for you. See the great price He paid to redeem you. Know that you are very precious to God!
It is so wonderful to see Jesus in action by reading the four gospels. When we see Jesus, we also get to know God the Father. Understand the four gospels through the lens of grace in this bundle: https://bit.ly/understandeveryparable

詞曲 Lyricist & Composer: Ethan Hulse, Phil King & David Moore
中譯詞 Translator:周巽光 Ewen Chow
主領 Worship Leader:趙治德 Samuel Chao
[Verse 1]
祢打開監門使我自由
You wouldn’t let me stay a captive
祢斷開鎖鏈釋放我
You couldn’t stand to see my chains
祢來要成為我的拯救
And so You came to be my rescue
將所有攔阻都挪走
To part the waters in my way
[Chorus]
耶穌 祢是我的拯救者
Jesus, You are my deliverance
死亡黑暗
From death to life
不再綑綁
From dark to light
耶穌 祢彰顯自由生命
Oh Jesus, You show me what freedom is
呼喚我名
You call my name
重新站立
You broke my shame
祢是我的拯救者
You are my deliverance
[Verse 2]
祢不讓我被審判困住
You wouldn’t let me stay in judgement
承擔我所配得懲罰
You took the wrath that I deserved
祢張開雙手完全接納
Your outstretched arms became my rescue
以祢寶血付上代價
Your blood has told me what I’m worth
[Bridge]
祢的愛擊潰所有仇敵
Your love defeated the enemy
祢的愛擊潰所有仇敵
Your love defeated the enemy
祢已經為我得著勝利
Now there is victory ahead of me
我不再回頭 永不回頭
There’s no looking back No looking back

death and life 在 椅子樂團 The Chairs Youtube 的最佳解答
窗外一遍又一遍重複的風景
總是好奇卻不夠勇敢看清
明知見一面少一面是時間的真理
卻又必須分離
宇宙會趨向混亂直到死亡
我努力抓住那把秩序的槳
但願能夠穩定地和你在這小路上
划出一道光
當終於雙手合十臣服於時代的巨浪
原來信仰是如此脆弱且易逝的呀
可親愛的你卻從未真正地離開我身旁
我們的地方是如此穩固如此的堅強
途中短暫停靠的美麗的人哪
多渴望你們留在我的枝枒
但每個生命終究都有自己的計劃
我無從解答
當終於雙手合十臣服於時代的巨浪
原來信仰是如此脆弱且易逝的呀
可親愛的你卻從未真正地離開我身旁
我們的地方是如此穩固如此堅強
原來信仰是如此脆弱且易逝的呀
我們的地方是如此穩固如此的堅強
The scenery outside the window repeats again and again
I'm always curious but never brave enough to see it through
Knowing that the time we meet each other will only be less and less
Still we have to be parted
The universe tends to be chaotic until its death
I try the best I can to hold the paddle of my order
Wish I could be with you stably along the way
Illuminating the darkness while we’re rowing
When I finally surrender to the billow of the time
I come to realize how fragile our belief can be as it vanishes
But my dearest friend, you never leave me and are always by my side
How firm and steady our place is
You, beautiful people who make a brief stop at my station
How I desire that you’d stay on my branches
However every life has its own plans
And there's no way I'll be able to know the answer to them
When I finally surrender to the billow of the time
I come to realize how fragile our belief can be as it vanishes
But my dearest friend, you never leave me and are always by my side
How firm and steady our place is
