約翰福音3:16是一句常見於教會門外作招牌的福音金句,也是很多基督徒能輕易地背誦的一句;古往今來也有不知多少詩歌以它來做主題/內容。之前既以好幾句聖經章節譜過曲,也就試試為這句最為人熟知的金句譜一曲,後來發現所譜之旋律也能配合英文經文來唱,於是乎合成了這首中英對照的短詩。

Words from John 3:16
Music by Seacow Wheat神愛世人,
甚至將祂的獨生子賜給他們,
叫一切信祂的,
不致滅亡,反得永生。
For God so loved the world,
That he gave His one and only Son, that whoever
Believes in Him
Shall not perish, but have eternal life.
