"I Have Not Seen Yet I Believe "

"I Have Not Seen Yet I Believe " - Indonesian Chorale's Ladies

( Arr. Ryandall Manurung with Soloist : Irene Simanjuntak, and Pianist ; Christanto malinti)

" I have not seen yet I believe" adalah salah satu lagu dari ratusan lagu karya Sally Deford yang terinspirasi dari perkataan Yesus dalam Yohanes 20 : 29 " Karena engkau telah melihat Aku, maka engkau percaya. Berbahagialah mereka yang tidak melihat, namun percaya"

Dengan arrangement baru untuk SSA ( Sopran, 2nd Sopran, Alto) karya Ryandall Manurung, lagu ini menggambarkan jelas betapa pentingnya iman seorang Kristen itu dihidupkan dalam kehidupan kita sekarang ini. Berbeda dengan masa yang dahulu, dimana murid murid Yesus secara langsung melihat keajaiban dan mujizat dan mendengar kata kata Yesus sehingga mereka lebih mudah untuk percaya daripada kita sekarang ini.

namun di lagu ini, Sally Deford yang adalah seorang Amerika lahir di Eugene, Oregon dan saat ini tinggal bersama suami,Dennis; ke 4 anaknya dan seorang cucu di Clorado Springs, Colorado menceritakan dengan harmoni yang indah melalui musiknya bahwa apa yang Yesus lakukan dahulu kala adalah bukti dan janji bahwa IA perhatikan dan akan selalu bersama sama dengan kita seburuk dan sebimbang apapun dunia dan hidup kita saat ini.

Hanya dengan percaya, walau kita tak bisa melihatNYa!" IMan orang salehh PASTI kekal!! Amin.."

Lyrics

They heard his voice; they saw his face
The promised Savior come to earth in days long past
They saw him heal the sick and cause the lame to stand
They watched as wind and waves were stilled at his command
And though I did not see him calm the raging seas
His hand has calmed my troubled heart
And I believe

They heard his voice; they saw his face
They heard his teachings of forgiveness, love and faith
He blessed their little ones; he taught them how to pray;
He fed the multitudes who hungered by the way
And though I did not taste the bread he bade them eat
His word is manna to my soul
And I believe

They saw him scourged and mocked to scorn
They heard the angry crowd, they saw him crowned with thorns
They watched him bend beneath our burden in the streets
They saw the bitter nails that pierced his hands and feet
And though I was not there to watch with them at Calvary
My spirit weeps
I have not seen
Yet I believe

They heard his voice; they saw his face
The risen Jesus, crowned with vict'ry o'er the grave
And though I did not see his triumph over death
Though I did not see him draw immortal breath
I know he lived and died and lives again for me
My faith is sure
I have not seen
Yet I believe
