“牵我的手”的由来。。。 THE ORIGIN OF “HOLD MY HAND”…

... Few nights later, about 11pm, I was sitting on my bed not ready to sleep yet, I took my guitar and said very simply to God : Lord, we have many elderly people in our church, most people will be a little fearful or uncertain facing death, can you give me a song to sing to especially people who are dying that they will no longer feel afraid after hearing the song, knowing well that Jesus will hold their hand all the way to heaven, and so they will have peace in their hearts?
Just a very simple and short prayer, I took my guitar and started to play, unexpectedly inspiration just flowed and lyrics and melody came together, within about 15 minutes or so I completed writing the song! Right now I’m looking at the “rough” copy of this song when I first wrote it ( I keep all my “rough” ), the date I wrote this song was February 5th, 1996, 11:20pm…
Sometimes after writing a certain song, you would not know how people would respond to it, whether they would like it; but many times I would use my own compositions to sing to the Lord during my own quiet time because they are really words from my own heart speaking to the Lord…
So I was not very sure how people would respond to ” Hold My Hand “, all I knew was it must be from God as it came to me so smoothly and easily especially after I had just prayed, so I decided to teach this song that following Sunday…
I was the worship-leader that Sunday, I planned to sing ” Hold My Hand ” just before I preached… I felt the worship was kind of ordinary that day, nothing special happened, so I thought in my heart perhaps God would just speak through the sermon that day…
After the worship, I made some weekly announcements, and just before I started preaching, I took up my guitar and told the congregation I was going to teach them a new song God had given me…
The result was I could not stop once I started singing the song! I was amazed at the response! People were crying and hugging each other after I had sung the song a few times, and they started to move around to hug others, to show their love for each other, to reconcile etc…
... ...
Honestly I was at a loss on stage, I did not know whether to stop or carry on singing, thinking if I continued to sing, I would not have time to preach anymore… All this was very new to me, thank God I did not stop because that was the moving and work of the Holy Spirit; the Lord of the Sabbath healed, comforted and delivered many people that “Sabbath” day… That day I was standing on the stage playing and singing ” Hold My Hand ” all alone for almost an hour! After that, I did not really preach any sermon but to give some words of encouragement, because God had already done what He wanted to do that day, who was I to hinder God’s work with my human system?…
