Eagles - Desperado

Desperado 

When I first heard this song, I don’t know much about the meaning of it yet, I am attracted by the melody and the passions that the singer try to express. Then I try to read the lyrics word by word, sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph, it draws me to more thinking.

A wonderful song to share with, Desperado by Eagles, a touching one, and hope you’ll like it too. My goal for this week, learn it and share it by singing it along with bible story to my senior friends next week. 

A lot of times, we lost or we feel we can do it all by ourselves.

The love is near, but we try to look for the far one and we cannot get it.

We chase after vanities, money, status and so forth. We leave all the important things or people behind.

We think, we are different form any others, we set a high wall to separate from others.


There is always a lovely rainbow behind the rain.

Seize the time and do what you should do before it is too late.

Luke 15:3-32
3-7 The Parable of  the Lost Sheep 牧人尋找一百隻羊中迷失的一隻
7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent. 我告訴你們,一個罪人悔改,在天上也要這樣為他歡喜,較比為九十九個不用悔改的義人歡喜更大。」

8-10 The Parable of the Lost Coin 婦人尋找十個銀幣中遺失一枚的故事
10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” 我告訴你們,一個罪人悔改,在神的使者面前也是這樣為他歡喜。」

11-32 The Parable of the Lost Son 浪子回頭的故事
31 “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’” 31父親對他說:『兒啊!你常和我同在,我一切所有的都是你的;32只是你這個兄弟是死而復活、失而又得的,所以我們理當歡喜快樂。』」

Every single of us are unique and precious. You maybe the weakest sheep amongst all, you may feel like you are just a small coin, you probably ever done wrong before or feel that you are not worthy at all. But in our Lord's eyes, you are truly valuable. He is our shepherd, He will risk His own life to bring you back and all the others will cheer up all together when you are found. He is like the woman who lost one of her coin and tries hard to retrieve the small coin back. He is your Father cherishes you and gives the best and everything to you, whatever you may done unfit or sin before. If only you willing to repent to Him. He will love and accept you unconditionally.

Bible verse:


17 “When he came to his senses, 他醒悟過來


First line of the lyrics:


Desperado, why don’t you come to your sense?
