Passion 2010

After 2 years, Passion World Tour finally stopped in Vancouver again this November for a night of praise and worship. Same as last time, main groups are Chris Tomlin and David Crowder Band along with two other new artists. Last time I had such a transforming experience so I made sure I was gonna make the most out of it this time as well. I began listening to the Passion album online since mid Oct. so that I could sing along at the concert! : D

經過了兩年，Passion這次全球巡迴再次來到溫哥華舉辦敬拜讚美演唱會。今年仍然是Chris Tomlin以及David Crowder Band 主領，外加兩位新人。上次的經驗實在是太棒了，我為了也想要一起唱唱跳跳敬拜，特別在演唱會前幾個禮拜就開始在網路上聽他們的CD！所以這次參加全部的歌我都而熟能詳！哈哈哈。

As usual, Chris Tomlin was amazing at leading worship. My favorite song from him was Chosen Generation. David Crowder Band again was the band that takes the 2nd half of the night with a series of upbeat music that definitely brought the concert to the climax. There was this song called “Like A Lion” that I really liked. However, there was one part that got me a little confused this year. After David Crowder Band got on stage, their 2nd song “You are my joy” was slightly out of place with an extremely weird instrumental section. One do have to acknowledge though, David Crowder Band has always been known for their interesting tunes, so I am not surprised by the song. However I am surprised that they would include this song on the list. I think the whole crowd was a bit in shock, and I think a lot of people felt a little uncomfortable. It’s not that the song was bad, its just not appropriate for a worship concert.

Chris Tomlin 如同往常敬拜一流，最喜歡他的那首chosen generation。而David Crowder Band仍然算是炒氣氛的後半段樂團。 今年有一首歌很好聽叫like a lion（如同獅子）。倒是今年David Crowder band上場後表演的第二首歌讓大家都非常不解。必須前提的事，David Crowder Band是以奇異的曲風為特色的。那第二首You are my joy的歌真的不適合帶敬拜。中間間奏的部份，我的天，全場大概都傻掉了吧？真的是太奇怪的音樂了，相信很多人應該覺得有點不舒服。其實我認為並不是歌不好 ，只是表演場所錯誤罷了。

Anyways, this year, surprisingly, three thousand more people showed up compared to last year! reaching an unbelievable attendance of eleven thousand. Praise God! Who says Vancouver is spiritually dry? God is in the move in Vancouver! Thank you Passion for encouraging us to worship on top of our lungs and using our hands and feet!

總之，今年參加敬拜晚會的人數比兩年前還多三千人！到達一萬九百人的數字！感謝上帝！誰說溫哥華是屬靈疲乏的城市？耶穌仍然在此大大的運行！謝謝Passion再次鼓勵大家全心全意跳跳叫叫敬拜我們的神！
