(In Loving Memory of Linda Shimu)

Story behind the music:

I met Linda Shimu in December of 2012 one Wednesday night prayer meeting. It was my first time at CGBC. She was very friendly and kindly introduced me to different fellowships I can go to. She always had a smile on her face.

After going to CGBC for a while, we started sharing our music with each other, she even asked me and Asa Ma to collaborate and edit one of her songs: “I Ask”. We had a lot of fun doing that. She always encouraged us to give praise and glory to God through our musical talents.

Linda Shimu’s sudden passing was a shock for me and I didn’t know how to handle or express my feeling. When I heard the news I cried and prayed to God for answers. As I prayed more, I felt a sense of peace and urge to write a song in memory of Linda Shimu. Even though she passed away, her music will always leave a legacy to this world which will bring more lives back to God. I want to thank her and appreciate all she had done spreading the gospel and took care of people in need.

May this song comfort our hearts and know that she will “Never Be Forgotten” until we meet again in heaven!

【永誌不忘】

紀念陳胡元玲師母

– 音樂背後的故事

作者: 王信人     作曲: 王信人     翻譯: 黄耘

我是在2012 年12月一個週三晚禱告會上認識Linda師母的。這是我第一次來到華人恩典聖經教會。她很友善地向我介紹各個可以參加的團契。臉上常常都掛著笑容。

來教會一段時間後，我們開始分享各自寫的樂曲，她還請我和馬承彥合作校改她的一首歌：【I ask】。我們合作得很愉快。她總是鼓勵我們透過音樂將讚美和榮耀歸於上帝。

Linda師母驟然過世對我實在是一個打擊。我真的不知道如何承受和表達我的感受。當我聽到噩耗時，我流淚禱告向上帝祈求答案。隨著禱告，我漸漸有了平安，並有感動要作一首曲子來紀念Linda師母。她雖然已經離世，但是她的音樂將會在這世上傳承下去，帶領更多的生命歸主。我要感謝她，紀念她傳揚福音和照顧那些需要幫助的人們。

希望這首曲子能夠安慰我們眾人的心，並記住她,“永誌不忘”，直到我們在天堂見面的那一日。
