One True Church

In the name of the Lord Jesus, I bear witness. My name is Isaac Leong. This testimony is related to how I received an inspiration to compose a hymn through a dream. At the end of May 2020, during the MCO period, I prayed that God would inspire me with a song. Indeed, God answered my prayer. In the following night, I got inspiration through listening to the melody of a song. However, I did not act quickly to write out the song.

I am a person with many dreams. Every night, I would sleep with many dreams playing in my mind but on 28 July 2020, I had a dream in the form of a rebuke that was clearly related to the inspiration of the song I received. That night, I dreamed that I was standing alone in front of a house in a residential area. All the houses in the area were white and the atmosphere there was so pleasant that it seemed like it was not of this world. Suddenly, a man who dressed in a royal courier stopped in front of me, and he handed out a very beautiful letter that resembled an invitation to a royal ball or a ball at the palace because there were a seal and a golden pattern on the letter. As the mailman or postman went to the other houses, I started to open the letter. The paper in the envelope was like a very long scroll. I had to read the contents of the letter instantly as I was taking out the letter from the envelope because it seemed to have no end.

I began reading the contents of the letter. In the dream, I could not tell what language it was, however after reading it, I was clear that the letter was a form of rebuke.

"I have given you an inspiration since May, but you are still wasting time." (In the letter, there was also a detailed account of the activities I did during those few months including watching some popular anime series).

“Write out the song and name it ‘One True Church’. The melody of this song will not disappear from your memory till you have completed writing it". With that reminder, I woke up from the dream.

On the next day, I shared this dream with my parents, and they encouraged me to write out the song quickly. Thank God, I finished writing the full score of this song on 07 August 2020. As mentioned in the letter of my dream, as soon as I finished writing the song, surprisingly, the melody was no longer hovering in my memory and I even had to look at what was written on the song sheet to recall.

The lyrics were written by my father, Lemuel Leong on 09 August 2020. All glory is only worthy to God. Hallelujah!

独一真教会
奉主耶稣圣名作见证。我是梁宏真(Isaac Leong)。这是一个关于我如何通过梦获得创作诗歌灵感的见证。在2020年5月底，在行动管制令期间，我向神祷告，祈求神启发诗歌予我。 神确实应允了我。隔天晚上，灵感来了（听到这首诗歌的旋律不断萦绕脑际）。 但是， 我并没有采取行动即刻写下这首歌。
我是一个多梦的人； 每天晚上睡觉我都会作梦。但在28/7/2020，一个与诗歌有直接关系的梦临到我，我在梦中受到了责备。
那天晚上，我梦见自己独自站在房子前面，那是一个住宅区。这个地区所有的房子都是白色的，那里的气氛非常宜人，仿佛不是处在这个世界那样。突然，一个穿得像皇家邮递员的人停在我面前，然后他掏出一封非常漂亮的信，像是去皇家舞会或是皇宫仪式的邀请函，因为信上有着盖章和金色的图案。
待邮递员前去其他房子后，我开始打开信。信封里面的纸长得像一个很长的卷筒信。我就直接读这封信的内容，因为当我试图掏出这封信时，我找不到信的末端。
我开始读这封信的内容。 在梦里，我并不明白信上所用的语言，但在读完后，我明确知道，这封信是一个责备。
"我从五月起就给你灵感， 但你仍然浪费时间。（在信中也详细记录了我那几个月以来的活动，包括观看一系列流行的动漫）。
"你去写这首歌，曲名为'独一真教会'。这首歌的旋律将不会从你的记忆中消失，只要你尚未完成它"。 在这个提醒下，我从梦中醒过来。
第二天，我与父母分享了这个梦，他们勉励我马上写这首歌。感谢主，我在2020年8月7日完成了这首歌的歌谱。诚如信中所说的，当我写完这首歌后，奇妙的是它的旋律不再在我的记忆中盘旋，反而我需要回看歌谱上写的东西。
我的父亲，梁利慕伊勒于09/08/2020年完成作词。 一切荣耀归予配得称颂的神。哈利路亚！
