一个朋友在facebook相册上留言说,恩子的名字让他想起U2的一首歌,“Grace,
It’s a name for a girl,
It’s also a thought that, Changed the world…”

于是找来这首Grace。Grace是常用英文女名,也是一个词汇,意思是恩典。在古老的信仰与生活体验里,那是一种神的作为,意思是,压伤的芦苇祂不折断,将残的灯火祂不吹灭。恩典的源头在世界之外,因为这个世界充满了“以牙还牙、以眼还眼”,但恩典却临到这个世界,给人以盼望,让人相信,原来生命还可以是这样的奇妙、这样的自由、这样的蒙祝福——虽然我们的生命不配这样的祝福,但这祝福带着应许,超越我们本来的命运,正如歌词里唱的:她在命运之外,她在命运之外。

Grace
She takes the blame
She covers the shame
Removes the stain
It could be her name

Grace
It’s a name for a girl

It’s also a thought that
Changed the world

And when she walks on the street
You can hear the strings
Grace finds goodness in everything

Grace
She’s got the walk
Not on a wrapper on chalk
She’s got the time to talk
She travels outside
of karma, karma
She travels outside
of karma

When she goes to work
You can hear the strings
Grace finds beauty in everything

Grace
She carries a world on her hips
No champagne flute for her lips
No twirls or skips between her fingertips
She carries a pearl in perfect condition
What once was hurt
What once was friction
What left a mark
No longer stings

Because grace makes beauty out of ugly things
Grace finds beauty in everything
Grace finds goodness in everything

U2在视频中引用哥林多后书12章9节的内容。“他对我说:‘我的恩典够你用的,因为我的能力是在人的软弱上显得完全’。所以,我更喜欢夸自己的软弱,好叫基督的能力覆庇我。”
