Until He comes again 126
Unto Thee O Lord, do I life up my soul. 210
Water you, water you 99
We all with unveiled face 231
We can call O Lord 37
We love the church life 125
We love thee, we love Thee 182
We treasure Thee, Lord Jesus 179
We work together with God by a life 136
What is life, what is it for? 120
What made You die for me? 169
What made You, Lord to die for me? 169
What’s the use? There is no hope for me 150
When I’ve run the race before me 201
When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion 220
When we believe into the Son 189
When you say Lord 166
Whene’er I call Lord Jesus 92
Where is He, my Jesus? 165
Where’s the answer? 149
Wherever you go, I will go 117
Who’s like our Jesus, He’s all we desire! 182
Who coverest Thyself with light as with a garment 217
Why does it take us so long 103
With the brothers and the sisters 68
Within my heart a praise o’erflowing 66
“Within the Veil”: be this, belov’d thy portion 205
Wonderful One, Son with the Father 185
Worthy is the Lamb Who has been slain to receive 157
You have reached me again 191
Your love constrains me to give my all to You 13
Your soft voice, Your lovingkindness 61
Zion is God’s habitation 184

Silver and gold have I none 161
So many times I was in weakness 167
So, why not open up and call His name, “Oh Lord!” 111
Some these days would tell us 125
Take my life and let it be 42
Thank you, Lord in Your eyes we find grace 4
Thank You, Lord Jesus, for dying for me 39
That’s why I call on Him 86
The allurement of riches 139
The Bible is a romance 104
The Bible is God’s breath 187
The divine dispensing starts with the Father 181
The faith is the economy, the economy of God 134
The flowing of life divine 196
The gift of righteousness is measured in abundance 111
The Last Adam became a life-giving Spirit 3
The law of the Lord is perfect 50
The Lord has put me in the Body 107
The Lord hath done great things for us 220
The Lord is my light and salvation 84
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want 176
The Lord is my strength and my song 207
The Lord liveth and blessed be my Rock 209
The love of God and the grace of Christ 233
The mighty God, even the Lord 211
The Son with the Father by the Spirit 185
The story of the gospel 148
The Triune God: a mystery 2
The Triune God and the Person 1
The world is longing, seeking for peace 189
There is a someone 174
There is a song within me 22
There’s a gospel of today 129
There’s a life that’s deeper than our mind 57
There’s a man who died to set us free 51
Therefore being justified by faith 186
Therefore we do not lose heart 232
Therefore watch for you do not know 200
This divine romance 171
This time I will not question 81
Thy word is sweet unto my taste 105
To be baptized in the Spirit 188
Touching Jesus is all that really matters 78
Trials may come and discouragement, too 158
Turn, turn my heart to you 69
Now the Lord is the Spirit – that’s how 90
Now this was once my situation 131
O come, let us sing unto the Lord 215
O God of love, in Your everlasting love 82
O God, Thou art my God 72
O Lord Amen That’s the way to let Him in 90
O Lord, break through 88
O Lord, I love You, I really love You 197
O Lord Jesus, O how sweet to call Thy name 44
O Lord, this whole world 18
O Lord, we can’t do it on our own 74
O Lord we praise You 85
O Lord, we’re just for Your flowing 57
O my God, I trust in Thee 210
O that Christ may make His home my heat 9
O the joy of having nothing 195
Oh, God of Glory 159
Oh, He’s the seed of the Kingdom in us 98
Oh! Jesus, Jesus, Most Desired 48
Oh Jesus, Jesus, Wonderful Jesus 48
Oh, my Lord, I give myself to You 116
Oh tell me, what’s the key 102
Oh who’s like our Jesus? He’s all we desire 89
One spirit with You 163
Open yourself to the new creation 77
Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty God hath shined 211
People think that they can find 36
Praise the Lord, God sent His Son 86
Praise the Lord! The God of Glory 127
Praise ye the Lord 219
Pursue Him and know Him; be found in Him 138
Rain on me; rain on me 54

Displayed for all to see;
The Son as Spirit flows now
To flow God into me.

He’s coming in my heart.
He’s spreading out from my spirit
To all my inward parts.
The more I contact daily,
The more my heart Christ’s home,
And with the saints I’m built up
Into the church, Christ’s home!

2 Seeking of this age to taste,
And of it have a part
If we only knew Dear Lord,
The ways we grieve Your heart.
We would come and turn to You
With a repenting heart
And would give ourselves to be
With you O Lord, inside the Ark.
3 Praise You Lord, we’re safe in You;
Outside death-waters pour.
Many things that I once loved
Are on the ocean floor.
Keep us open to you Lord,
Don’t let us miss the mark.
Hallelujah, Praise the Lord,
We’re here within the church, the Ark.
I always knew deep down in me 32
I am crucified with Christ 234
I am the vine, you are the branches 228
I am young and I’m in love 162
I believe He gives life to the dead 229
I believe, so I speak 167
I call His name, “Lord Jesus 28
I called upon thy name O Lord 29
I do not know where they have laid Him 165
I have a seed of life in me 113
I have often called on the Lord before 140
I just existed empty 76
I keep fallin’ in love with Him 146
I love God with all my heart 65
I love You, Jesus, precious Lord 160

I need You, Jesus 180
I once was dead, dead in my sins 79
I wake up this morning , Lord 112
I want to tell You Lord, how much You mean to me 202
I will enter His gates with thanksgiving in my heart 216
I’ll be raptured into glory 201
I’m for the Lord 80
I’m gonna praise God unceasingly 31
I’m loving Jesus, this lovely Person 22
I’m pressing on the God-man way 108
I’m walking down the road 68
I’ve found the One who’s all to me 128
I’ve given up the world because 80
If I would only stray a bit 45
If it is Lord Thy desire 71
If therefore you were raised together with our Christ 238
If you are empty, wondering why you exist 119
If you are hungry, come to the feast 75
If you wish to find the Lord, do not seek Him in the world 93
In His shadow have I rapture and sit down 192
In my heart there springs a melody 66
In my spirit, I can see You as You are 115
In our life, in all we do and say 123
Is there someone who’s a friend 174
It’s a new, living meeting that we’re having today 137
It’s no longer I that liveth 235
Every verse reveals Yourself to me 91
Everybody ought to know 170
Everything under the sun is vanity 193
Fallen in her condition 67
Fallen, that’s the way we all begin 70
Father God, forgive me if I groan 9
Father, I know that all my life is portioned out for me 130
First man Adam, then temptation 133
For me, You were mocked and crucified 42
For the Lord is a great God 215
For we know that when we turn to our spirit 110
For whatever promises of God there are 230
Forgetting the things which are behind 138
Forever He will be 206
From my heart comes a melody 47
From my spirit, when I’m sensing the supply 99
From the rising of the sun 219
From the throne of our God and the Lamb 233
From the time I spoke Your Name 63
Glorious, Glor’ous church 121
Glory! Glory! Christ is life in me 144
Go on, go on, go on in the Lord 158
God is love, Who sent His beloved Son 83
God the Creator became a God-man 5
Godliness is a living that expresses 134
God’s desire – Life for man 118
God’s dispensing, His economy 114
God’s economy and His eternal plan 96
God’s eternal economy 194
Good morning, Lord Jesus 20
He had to take a journey to come down just to reach us 183
He has made me glad 216
He is my God and I will praise Him 207
He that is joined to the Lord is one spirit 163
He’s my Lord 236
Holding to truth in love 94
How could a country girl like me 171
How glorious is Thy church, Oh Lord 121
How I long to sing with my spirit and heart to You 156
How lovely are Thy dwelling places 214
How lovely is Your dwelling place, Almighty Lord 95
How we love the glorious name 78

2 Life is not created
As man’s body, soul, and spirit –
That’s man’s life that’s weak and temporal.
Life is uncreated.
It’s divine and it’s eternal.
And this is the life that’s indestructible.
3 And this life came in us
In our spirit through the Spirit;
This is where we were made alive!
Now this life is spreading.
Lord, don’t stop – just keep invading.
For this, Lord, we must be daily revived.
4 Life needs our maintaining,
Otherwise we’re suffocating.
Calling on His name we breathe Him in.
Everywhere we breathe Him,
Makes us fresh and makes us living.
O, this life is full of hope and meaning.
5 In our daily living
It’s this life that we are sensing.
Are we in the flesh or in the Lord?
If you’re dead and empty
And the troubles you have plenty,
Saints, get out of there and flee back to the Lord!

And the world it draws me with glitter and glare.
O Lord, You’ve trapped me. Don’t let me go.
Kiss me and woo me, and win my heart,
So, I will always tell You…

Set your mind on the things that are above
F G C
Not on the things which are on the earth.
2 We should seek the things that are
in heaven with our Christ
Things like knowing Christ as life,
He’s everything to us.
We take Christ as life and walk in Him
We take Christ as life and walk in Him.
3 Set your mind on the things above
not on the things on earth
For you died and now your life
is hidden with Christ in God.
Now our lives are hidden with Christ in God.
Now our lives are hidden with Christ in God.
Set your mind on the things which are above.

So single and true;
Forever and ever
Your counterpart true.

2 Lord, You have touched me and You have shown me
That I am not so simple as I thought.
I often run and hide, prone to an errant heart.
But there is not a pause and You pursue!
And behold You’ve caught me altogether!
Where can I go from Your Spirit, O Lord?
I can’t flee from Your presence, You’re inside me.
I’ve climbed the steep mountains, but You still are there,
Descend to the valleys but You find me.
3 Now I see, there’s something more to this pattern:
You want to show me all that You are.
So You’ve drawn me from this strife, into the family life.
As one, our prayers can match Your deep desires.
Now behold we follow You together!

And fully saturate each part.

The way You’ve filled my emptiness!
O Lord, I know that You will grow
And from my spirit overflow.
Lord, saturate me through and through –
O Lord Jesus, I love You.

You have opened my eyes, Lord, and turned me to You.
G D F#m Bm
You are my Creator, O Lord, how I love You.
D G A
You are also my Savior and everything that’s true.

D F#m
1 Lord, so often I’m like Thomas
G A
Who would not receive:
D F#m G A
“Unless I see Your face, Lord, I would not believe…”
G A D Bm
But then You would appear… “My Lord and my God”
G A D
Saying, Blessed are they who see not, yet believe.
2 I have someone deep within me welling up in me each day.
Even though I have not seen Him
in such an outward way
“Whom having not seen, I love, I love, oh so much.
And by having His life, yes, I believe.”
(Chorus)
3 Day by day I look forward
to that time I spend with You.
Just as Mary poured her love out, O Lord, I would too.
Grant me, Lord, a heart that is single and true.
And a daily life that’s living just by You.
4 So when daily I see trials and tribulations soar,
May I put my trust in You, Lord,
“For Christ has gone before”
And open to Your living Word, receiving faith –
Reach me, Lord, with Your mercy and Your grace.
(Chorus)

Canst thou become a living revelation
Of His great heart of love, His untold grace.

Without the Veil, that fragrance shed abroad;
“Within the Veil,” His hand shall tune the music
Which sounds on earth the praises of Thy Lord.

Thou walkest calm above a world of strife;
“Within the Veil,” thy soul with Him united,
Shall live on earth His resurrection life.

Loving You I want to stay, so…

Pressing forward toward the mark,
I run forgetting all behind,
Thus the Holy City gain.
By His life and through His grace I’ll
In the Holy City live –

All saints leaping, singing, shouting,
To the Lord their praises give,
In the New Jerusalem.

You’ve been my friend to comfort, received me when I’ve
strayed.
And in return – I offer You
My life – so small compared, Lord, to You.
3 I’d like for You to fill me with all that You are.
And empty out my heart from everything You’re not.
You’ve blessed me Lord – by finding me.
Possess me now eternally.

Nourishing my spirit so –

2 Oh, this precious life divine
Is the Triune God Himself!
All He is and all He has
Are all concealed in this life.
God’s life into my spirit comes,
Mingling with me in life as one –
Wisdom, pow’r, holy righteousness
Are my experience.

Manifested in His Son;
In Him is the life divine,
Savior He’s of everyone.
Life of all lives – unique is He,
And He release His life to me

In my spirit, anointing me
With His compounded elements –
Pervading through me.

D G Bm Em
Dearer each day to me,

Becoming reality.

Faith and hope giving me.

You’re all the world to me

Jesus my Lord.
2 Even when faith is small
When there’s no hope at all
I hear Him say to me
Trust in Me and you’ll see
That I’ll supply all your needs
If only you will believe.
All anxious doubts will cease
While trusting in Me.

C Am C
1 If I would only stray a bit,
Am F
Then ease my lot would be;
C Am C
But I recall how Christ my Lord
G C
Did suffer faithfully.
2 The world I have forever left
And severed all its ties;
The way may yet more narrow grow
And all against me rise.
3 But though the worldlings glare in rage;
I seek His smiling face.
Though outward glory others choose.
I, His “well done” through grace.
4 My heart’s desire is not for fame
Nor profit in these days;
I humbly wish to serve my Lord
And gain that day His praise.
5 Unto the judgement seat of Christ
I daily look away;
May all my living and my work
Abide the fire that day.
6 You may your reputation hold,
Wealth, friends, and glory gain;
You may win all success and praise,
A foll’wing great obtain.
7 But I would be but lonely, poor,
With no prosperity;
My heart desires to follow Him
And finish faithfully.
3 The high peak of revelation,
Makes my heart glad, spirit heavy,
I need pow'r of resurrection,
And the real recovery;
I'm learning to walk in spirit,
Sowing always unto Spirit,
God's corp'rate model exhibit,
Practicing just as our Lord did.
4 His Spirit with mine co-living,
To self dying, to God living,
Sin, flesh and the world escaping,
Soul life losing, God gaining!
Make us overcomers, dear Lord!
'Tis our goal, life's only meaning,
With Christ in His kingdom reigning
With all saints in God-man living.
195
D Bm
O the joy of having nothing
G Em A7
And being nothing, seeing nothing
D G A7 F#m Bm
But a living Christ in glory
Em A
And being careful for nothing
G A7 D
But His interest down here
G A7 D Bm
Whom have I in heaven but Thee?
G A7 D A G A7
And there is none upon the earth that I desire beside Thee.

Christ's glorious image conformed to be;

We'll reign in life, as we
F G C – F – C
Bring to earth the kingdom's authority.
2 In this blessed God-man living –
Man with God together mingling;
Christ the good land we're abiding;
Reality enjoying!
Matchless priv'lege I'm treasuring;
His organic Body building;
Christ's corp'rate expression forming;
Testimony to earth spreading.
8 My Lord, when here on earth, I know,
Gained nothing but the cross.
I only hope to be like Him
And for Him suffer loss.
9 My glory’s in the coming age,
Today I’ll patient be.
I’d ne’er enjoy ahead of Him
This world’s prosperity.
10 That day I shall receive the crown,
He’ll wipe away my tears.
So faithfully I’ll journey on
Till He at length appears.

A channel of Thine heart.

And Morning Star be seen.

Opened up my heart,
Let Your love flow in
And fill my deepest part.

You have put within me, Lord, eternity…
2 Now I rise to come away;
In the cleft rock, Lord, I would ever stay.
Kiss me, Lord; refresh me, too,
As I gaze at You, and Your death I view.
You were broken on the cross for me, dear Lord.
All Your being, life and love for me was poured.
Precious One, You are the One that I adore…
3 Make me, Lord, a fragrance true,
As a garden filled, with Your spices new.
Transform me, Your Bride to be,
For Your heart’s desire, through eternity.
As Your lover in the veil, I long to be,
Be conformed to Your sweet death continually,
‘Til Your city we become eternally.

Like sweet anointing and the mountain dew,
Life eternal for me and for you –
All things are new!

And brought us to the church life
with blessing for our care.

1 A certain man was going down
Em D
From Jerusalem to Jericho,
Em D
Getting farther away from God;
Em D Em
To this place of curse he’d go.
2 And as he went, among the robbers he fell
Who stripped and beat him ’til he bled,
And having taken everything that he owned,
They left him lying there half dead.
3 A certain priest was also going down,
On that same road to Jericho.
He saw him and passed on the opposite side.
A Levite did the same also.
Am Em
You know this man who was going down,
Am Em
This man is me; this man is you,
Am Em
Who living in our fallen life away from God
D Em
Were beaten sore and bled from many wounds.
4 We were stripped of all that we should have:
Our virtue, honour, righteousness.
We could not stand upright nor hold onto life;
Toward God: no boldness nor access.
5 Religious ones observing our poor estate
Being the same could be no help.
They passed us by, not daring to come close.
We only heard we’d go to hell.
As sinners under the law condemned,
Which left us beaten and disgraced,
We all were robbed and dying from so many hurts,
From small transgressions to our sins so great.

O Lord, we’re just for Your flowing;

How we need a deeper knowing!

Life is why we’re here

And why You’ve come in us.

Turn us, Lord, turn us now;

Turn us deeply --- Life is how

You will get the church,

The home You’re longing for.
2 In the church, we all can apprehend
All the riches of this life that is within.
Not just shallowness with strife,
But a deep and peaceful life
Is just waiting to flow out, a living spring.
With the saints it’s easy to be bold,
To pursue this life, to gain it, to lay hold.
All the other things we find,
Must be quickly left behind,
So that only life remains for us to see.
3 Deeper, Lord our turn must be to You;
We would move by life in everything we do;
All our concepts refute,
For Your life be absolute ---
Grant us grace to turn much deeper day by day.
When we touch our spirit --- such a thrill!
This is far beyond emotion, mind, and will ---
It’s within our hidden part ---
Come, make home in all our heart;
Let Your presence flow as rivers deep within.

1 Lord, I seek Your will
F G
And Your will alone.
C Am
Though there’s times I hold my ground
F G
And block the way.
F G
Lord wait longer than I
Em Am
Until Your way You’ve gained,
F G C
Until Your way You’ve gained.
2 This naturalness within
Disguises my intentions.
It’s a mixture of soul.
Show me where You lie
And I’ll discover there
Alone my hearts true delight,
Alone my hearts true delight.
3 May I not rush the night
Though signs I may not see
Yet Lord I trust You will
End my soulish source
And with the morning light
Resurrection will remain,
Resurrection will remain.
4 So I resign this day
The ruling of my life
Lord, You will meet my need.
Faithful unto God
You make me so content
When Your heart’s satisfied.
When Your heart’s satisfied.

Thy name be our theme and Thy love be our song;
Thy love has inspired both our heart and our tongue!

Thy dearness, so precious, and Thy loveliness?
When we see Thy beauty, all else fades away –
All shadows must flee at the breaking of day!

He selected us ‘ere the world began.

Predestinated to be His sons
A A7 D
Through His rich life dispensing.
2 The Son accomplished the Father’s purpose
By His redemption of fallen man
Through His own blood and according to
The riches of God’s grace.
3 The Spirit’s sealing, the application
It works within us to permeate
And transform us with God’s element
Unto our full redemption.
4 The Spirit’s pledging is just a foretaste
Of our divine inheritance.
It guarantees the full taste of God
As our eternal portion.
5 We thank You Father, Son, and Spirit
For all the blessings we have received.
We’ve given nothing, yet You give all.
How worthy of our praise!

And there is no demand on me.
Simple faith, yes, that is all You want from me.
Freed from anxious doubting –

A man in resurrection,
The firstborn from the dead.

So pleased resides in Thee.
Within Thee dwells the Godhead,
And Thou, Lord, dwell in me!

Veiled from eternity,
The hidden dispensation,
The Triune God in me!

In everything the best,
In quality the finest,
In quantity boundless.
Superlative in nature,
In form resplendent Thou,
Surpassing e’en the highest,
The peerless One art Thou.

1 From the time I spoke Your name,
G D
Lord, my life’s not been the same
A
Since I called on the only one who’d save me.
D
When forsaken, in despair –
G D
Who’d have thought that You’d be there!
G D A D [D7]
Now I’ve found out, Jesus, You’re alive!
2 All my friends might think it’s square –
Since I touched You, I don’t care –
For I’ve found You’re the only life worth living.
Though some mock and criticize,
Lord, they just don’t realize
That I’ve found out, Jesus, You’re alive!
G
Now my eyes begin to see
D
I’m living as I ought to be,
G
As this turning, burning God
A
moves in my heart…
D
I don’t care now how I feel;
G D
I just know that this is real,
A D
And I know, oh Jesus, You’re alive!
3 It’s no statue that I call,
Not a picture on the wall,
But a Person who lives His life within me.
Wish they’d told me long before,
All You want is an open door
And that really, Jesus, You’re alive!
64

1 Lord Jesus, Thou my all must be
G D C – D
I will not let You go
G D C D
‘Til Thou dost have Thy way in me

And Thine own heart I know.
G D C - D
Possess me, cleanse me, occupy
G D C – D
My mind, emotion, will;
G D C D
I will not give You rest until
G D G
You all my being fill.
2 Though oft harassed by sin and self
I come before Thee, Lord.
I stand upon Thy righteousness
And thank Thee for Thy blood.
‘Tis mercy all that in Thy light
My wretched self I see.
So shameful, sinful, dark; yet I
Still dare to come to Thee
3 For I have seen a glimpse of Thee
And briefly touched Thy throne.
All beauty, glory, radiance, light
Belong to Thee alone.
Brief moments in Thy presence, Lord
Thy love hath granted me.
My soul and spirit burn within
Each time I gaze on Thee.
4 But often I am far from Thee
My heart doth often stray
And wanders after worthless things
Or sin besets my way.
Yet still I long to know Thee more,
Jesus, Lord Jesus!
Let me call You all day long.
To the world that’s something wrong.
Your precious name, the sweetest song.
4 Jesus, Lord Jesus!
Oh, the devil’s trembling!
When we all start calling
The enemy we’re crushing!
Jesus, Lord Jesus!
Lord You’re not a doctrine
In the mind for thinking
But Your dear name’s so refreshing!
5 Jesus, Lord Jesus!
How I love to touch You!
It’s by calling on You!
No other one will do!
Jesus, Lord Jesus!
As I call, I’m drinking,
Triune God partaking.
Lord, You’re my cup of salvation!
Jesus, Lord Jesus!
Jesus, Lord Jesus!

Why would Christians feel ashamed
And not call Your precious name?
That is the devil’s scheme.
Jesus, Lord Jesus!
All my friends they tell me
I have changed completely.
You satisfy me thoroughly.
3 Jesus, Lord Jesus!
Calling Your dear Person,
Once I was opposing,
But now I am enjoying.
To really know Thy grace
And share in all Thy heart’s desire,
And walk in all Thy ways.
5 For this You must teach me, Oh Lord
The meaning of the cross;
To die to self, to live to God
To count all things as loss.
That I may learn to live, abide,
And have my being in Thee,
To labor, strive and fight in Thee
For Thine economy.

Singing, praising, calling on the Lord.

Fallen, in her condition,
G A
Israel left her Love.
D Bm
She was stubborn in her position –

To God she would not come.

Makes Israel His own son – a change to make.

Just eating and drinking,
It’s what we do the best,
Delighting in the love of the Lord.

We're finding is the way.
G D G D
It's – Jesus, Lord Jesus!
2 Even though we love the Lord so much,
Somehow, seems that we get out of touch
With Jesus. How can we be freed
from such distress?
3 Sometimes our thinking just begins to reel.
So often we're living just by how we feel.
Is there some way we could ever deal
with self?
4 Your children, scattered throughout all the earth
Are wand'ring --- Lord, where is Your Bride of worth?
How can all we of a second birth
be one?
5 Calling, how He's filling all our lack,
And calling is bringing now our Bridegroom back.
We're all living by this glorious fact
today.

Yet a man in time became.

You partook blood and flesh.
You’re the Eternal Word,
God in a man manifest.
Lord, You died for humanity
To redeem man for eternity.
Lord, You died on a tree for me.
Lord, You loved me eternally.
4 Jesus, dear Christ,
Death can’t hold You in the grave.

The life-giving Spirit in me.

I now possess Your divinity
In life and nature we’re the same:
Both human and divine.
Chorus 2: In Your love I’m drawn
To You I belong
I am not my own, Lord
I’m Yours alone.
By Your love I’m drawn
In Your name I’m charmed
And Your Person captured me
For I’ve been kissed by Thee.
7 Lord, in this close, sweet fellowship
Lord be with me so intimate
So personal and affectionate
A sweet relationship.
8 Lord, daily change my inward being
Lord, all my heart possessing
In all my being – transforming
To be Your bride and queen.
(Chorus 2)

1 How could a country girl like me

Become Your match – Your bride to be?
G D
You’re holy and You are divine

But I’m fallen and human.

2 Without You Lord I have no chance
Bm F#
To be like You in this romance
G D
But You chose me ere the world began
Em A D
Nothing could change Your plan.
D A
Chorus 1: This divine romance
Bm F#
Is My heart’s deep plan
G D
I became a lowly man

To court My country girl.

Nothing could deter.

Nothing can alter
G D
My eternal love for her
Em A D
I’ll gain My country girl.
3 No man or angel ever knew
This secret hidden deep in You
That You desired to be one with man
Before the world began.

I rejoice

In the sanctuary

Dm C
1 Once I was an empty man,
Dm – F
My destiny in my own hand,
Bb F
Not knowing what my life was reaping.
Bb F
Sometimes I smiled but inside weeping.
Bb F
And this emptiness inside still remained.
Dm – F
No peace I gained.
C Dm
Just emptiness inside me.
2 Even though I knew no way
To help myself or even pray,
Something deep within was seeking,
To know if life on earth had meaning;
And then I found the answer in a name.
I’m not the same,
Since I have called on Jesus.
3 This Jesus lives inside of me –
My Lord, my life, my all to be.
This life and peace inside increases
By calling on the name of Jesus.
There’s nothing for my soul on earth to seek.
I have no need;
I’m satisfied in Jesus.

D A
1 Every new day’s a new start.
D
Lord again we’re coming to You.
G
Lord could You ever break through within us
D A
If, Lord, we gave You a part?
G A
O Lord, we can’t do it on our own.
D
O Lord Jesus, how we need You!
G
Win us, woo us, to Thyself, Lord
D A D
That we’d ever stay Lord with You.
2 Lord, before time had begun,
We were marked and called out by You.
We had no choice, we were trapped by You, Lord;
We had no place we could run.
3 Some of my friends are so free.
Who could I blame, Lord, but Thee?
I cannot do all the things that they do
Because You set me apart.
4 Lord, I’m realizing that
Loving You’s a tender trap.
Since You have touched me, my heart has melted;
All my resistance has cracked.
But love and mercy.
Your love, dear Lord, has conquered me.
5 One little turn and You were there,
Waiting for me with Your loving care.
How could I still remain Your enemy?
Your love, dear Jesus, disarmed me.

Just by calling on His Name

G Em D G – Em
1 What made You, Lord, to die for me?
Bm D
Why would You die for me, Your enemy?

You took my place to hang on a tree,
G Em C G
To be a curse, a curse for me.

What made You die for me?

I was Your enemy.

You died for me, Your enemy.
2 I never thought that You would be
So full of love and tender mercy.
How could You love a person like me?
You loved me, dear Jesus, Your enemy.
3 You loved me, Lord, so very long;
And with a love enduring and strong.
Although I mocked and cursed You so long,
You waited and prayed for me all along.
4 I was a man who was just sin,
Which issued in a life full of sins.
My heart toward You was in rebellion,
But, Lord, You touched me with Your compassion.
Your love has conquered me,
Even Your enemy.
In love, dear Lord, You came to me.
Nothing could change me

Dm7 G C
1 I just existed empty, not knowing

what life was for;
Dm7 G
Until one day someone told me that
Am
there was something more;
Dm7 G
At first I wouldn’t take it –
C E
it seemed to simple to me!
Am F
Calling His name, “O Lord Jesus!”
G C
Saying, “Amen,” when He speaks.
Am D
Filling my spirit with His life.
G F
Filling my whole life with His life.
C F
Flooding my living with His life.
Dm A
Filling my whole life with His life!
2 But then at length I tried it –
first softly, to myself.
As I called I felt like someone sick
brought back to health.
The flow of life within me, I’d never
felt before.
3 Then as I called on Jesus I felt
that I’d been found!
I was so full; I was calling “Jesus!”
right out loud.
I’d never dreamed that I could know
reality by…
(Chorus)
5 Now in the church, in God’s transmission,
All that He is, to His destination,
Here constantly receive.
He is dispensed to us who believe.
6 The Triune God is now transmitting
Himself, this power, us energizing,
In us He is installed;
This dynamo within, the Triune God!

I have God.

All things He has subdued
Under His feet, by power overruled.

His surpassing power which He wrought in Christ

In raising Him from among the dead,

Seating Him in the heavenlies far above all,

one way to really touch Him,

Just believe

2 Dear Lord Jesus, with our tongues –
We gladly confess Thy name,
To the glory of the Father God above.
For to us to speak Thy praise,
Is the enjoyment of our days;
Calling JESUS is to call the One we love!
5 And then I heard a voice say, “Mary”.
That sweetest voice that penetrated me.
It is the voice of My Beloved,
Jesus, my Love.
I have found my Jesus!
I have found my Beloved!
I have found Whom my soul doth love,
Jesus, my Love , I just love You!
6 But Jesus told me not to touch Him yet
He must ascend first to the Father
And to My Father and your Father
To My God and your God.
Go and tell My brothers,
I ascend to the Father
To My Father and your Father,
And My God and your God, go tell My brothers.

There’s only something less!

Where is He, my Beloved?
F#7 Bm
Where is He Whom my soul doth love?

Don’t ask me, angels, why I’m weeping.
Nothing but Jesus fills my inner being.
Oh! Where’s my Love?
4 Someone is standing right behind me
It’s just the gardener I can barely see.
Sir, if you carried Him away…
Oh! Where is He?
Where is He my Jesus?
Where is He my Beloved?
Tell me where you have laid Him
And I’ll carry Him away, I’ll carry Him away.

Part 1

1 I once was dead — dead in my sins;

Behaved myself in lust of flesh
D G
By nature such a child of wrath,

Even as the rest.
2 But God being so merciful
Because of His great love to me
Enlivened me I’m now in Christ
Seated in the heavenlies.

Together we’re His workmanship
His masterpiece expressing Him
In the heavens and on earth.

By the blood of Christ I am released
I am one with all the saints, since He’s
Broken down the middle wall.

Thus fulfilling God’s eternal plan
With all saints together, let us stand
Shout and sing and praise the Lord!

The course is long and rough;
As long as You are happy,
Your smile – it is enough.

The Central Thought of Jeremiah
D Bm G A D
1 O God of love, in Your everlasting love,
F#m Bm
Yearning earnestly for Your elect,
Em A
As for Israel so long ago,
D A G
That they’d turn from their idols to gain
A G A D
Your incarnate Christ as righteousness.
2 Christ came as man as Your righteousness to us
That in Your divine economy
He Your people’s everything might be
As our universality
And our centrality experienced.
3 Wicked by birth, deceitful, corrupt in heart,
Our one hope: redemption from our fall,
Wickedness and sin, but that’s not all—
The redemption of Christ and salvation
By life divine dispensed to us.
4 Saved by Your life and Your life’s capacity,
We’re renewed that You could be our God
And that we your people all could be
That we’d share the enjoyment of all
Of the riches of the Trinity.
5 Israel will be restored in the coming age;
With Your overcomers they’ll enjoy
All Your riches, which will consummate
In new earth and new heav’n
For eternity in the New Jerusalem.

One spirit, not two.
C7 F
Lord, we are joined to You:
G C
One spirit…with You.
2 Through resurrection the Lord is now the Spirit.
Our spirit by Him has been regenerated.
The Lord, the Spirit, mingling
With our spirit, is the most wondrous thing.
Our spirit’s mingled, Lord!
3 Do you not know that our bodies
are Christ’s members?
This body’s a temple of the Holy Spirit
Who, from God, is now inside,
Owning us that God may be glorified.
Lord, we’ve been bought by You!
4 We are united with Christ in our spirit.
He dwells within us
and makes His home in our heart,
To our body giving life,
Purified to be a member of Christ;
Our every part is Christ

You came to me as Light
And scattered all my night.

You made me, Lord, so bright.

It wasn’t on my own.
Your beauty made me turn
And caused my heart to burn.

Mingling both as one spontaneously.
You respond within with words so sweet,
I repeat these words to Thee.
3 I’m a newborn babe- it’s the milk I need,
Not the knowledge of the dead teaching.
When I eat Your Word, it becomes to me
My heart’s joy and rejoicing.
4 Sweeter than honey, precious more than gold;
It will not be void, but as the rain and snow
It will do Your will – bear the life divine,
Bearing fruit a hundred fold.
5 When my heart is like a rock so cold
It’s Your word so strong that hammers stone,
That the grain of life may come to me
And supply me inwardly.

I love to eat it every day and night.
I just turn and open up to Him
And the rivers flow right in.

No matter where we are.
And calling --- thus, He enters,
Oh, He's never very far.

Sure He'll hear you every time.
Lean your weary head upon Him
And rest in sweet recline.

You just call upon His name and let Him in.

I come to drink of Thee.
You are the Spirit of Life
To free me from all strife.
3 The doctrines and the creeds
Have never met my needs.

My need is Living Bread.

Your Person now I can take,
The Living Word partake.

To get You into me!
I drink You as the Spirit, Lord,

Than a thousand days of living without You;
The Lord reserves His favor on each one who obeys,
And blessings on the man whose heart is true.
How lovely is Your dwelling place, Almighty Lord
There's a hunger deep inside my soul
Only in Your presence are my heart and flesh restored
How lovely is Your dwelling place.

His heart’s desire and intention is to be one with man.

Yet man has failed completely throughout all history.

But Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!

as the river of water of life,
Washing away all my sins, my cares, and all my strife.
This life is overcoming situations in my day.

Enjoying You is the overcoming way.
C Am
Thank You for Your recovery.
F G C
Your Word we will obey.
3 Thank You for our situations
and the environments we are in,
That we’d turn to You in all things,
and turn away from sin.
We’d drop all our anxieties
and put our trust in You.
And experience this living Christ
because He’s ever new.
4 Now the church life is so precious
with all the saints so dear.
Enjoying all Your riches, our vision is so clear.
4 You’re conformed to unreality,
Trapped in a wheel of human anxiety.
You are caught, you’re in the web already.
You’re spun to this song: you’re just the spider’s prey.
Jesus crushed the devil and overcame evil.
That kingdom He leveled and destroyed the devil.
He will free you from sin, from death, world and Satan.
Just call “Oh Lord Jesus” and He will enter in.
5 Life is a song as a time hour glass,
Sand by sand, my friend it cannot last.
You’re born, you live, and eventually you die.
Friend, you can’t change it, no need to even try.
There is a new song, a wonderful Person!
He’s Jesus the Lord, He’s God’s beloved Son!
This wonderful Person is now your solution!
Just take and receive Him; He’s God’s
Firstborn Son!
151

1 What’s the use? There is no hope for me,
C G Am D G – D
Deep inside just fear and misery.
G D Em Bm
Man’s enslaved by this haunting melody –
C G Am D G
Everything, my friend, is temporary.
G D Em Bm
There is an answer: a wonderful Person!
C G Am D G – D
He’s Jesus the Lord; He’s God’s beloved Son!
G D Em Bm
This wonderful Person is now your solution.
C G Am
Just take and receive Him; He’s God’s
D G
Firstborn Son!
2 Day by day, I tried to stop this song.
What is it? There must be something wrong…
Oh! This life is just a hopelessness!
Always searching, but tasting emptiness.
There is an answer: a wonderful Person!
He’s Jesus the Lord; He’s God’s beloved Son!
This wonderful Person is now your solution.
Just take and receive Him; He’s God’s
Firstborn Son!
3 All day long you play the “same ole song”:
“Good morning”, “How are you?”, “No, there
is nothing wrong.”
You’re swept by the world of deceptive vanity,
A tide looking good, but it’s void of reality.
Just call “Oh Lord Jesus”: the truth you’re confessing
That God raised this Jesus from among the dead.
Your heart this believing, just call to receive Him.
He’s Jesus the Savior, your great salvation
That all would prophesy of Christ
from what they’ve seen,
According to Your scripture in first Corinthians 14.
(repeat chorus)

The more we strive the more we fail
A D Bm
All the strife – they all come out to no avail.
G D
Lord, they’re just not for your need
G Em A
By “self”, we won’t succeed.
2 Lord, we confess
We are not able, Lord, unless
We have You; You’re all in all – You’re our success!
All we need, O Lord, is You
‘Cause nothing else will do.
3 O Lord, we pray
Increase Thyself in us each day
And the “self” – decrease it ‘til it’s done away.
Lord, we want the growth in life
We don’t want all the strife.
4 Lord, life’s begun
Two spirits mingled into one
Day by day, walk in the spirit and we’ve won!
Then the “self” will be decreased
G A D
And Christ in us increased.

D A
1 Now God's Kingdom has been planted in our hearts
D
As the wonderful seed sown in us.
Bm F#m Bm
It is Jesus Christ, who all He is imparts
A E7 A – A7
As the seed of the Kingdom in us!
D A7
Oh, He's the seed of the Kingdom in us,
D
He's the wonderful seed sown in us!
B7 Em
In our spirit sown, in us to be full-grown ---
D A7 D – G – D
He's the seed of the Kingdom in us!
2 Human generations form the history
Of the wonderful seed sown in us.
Mingled with the Triune God's divinity
Is the seed of the Kingdom in us.
3 Jesus' name means this: "Jehovah's saving us,"
He's the wonderful seed sown in us.
And so now we call Him our Jehovah-Plus,
He's the seed of the Kingdom in us.
4 "Emmanuel" means it's God Himself with us
As the wonderful seed sown in us.
No more simply God, Emmanuel is God-Plus ---
That's the seed of the Kingdom in us.
5 We have all we need to live the kingdom life
In the wonderful seed sown in us.
Hallelujah! Now we give up all our strife,
For the seed of the Kingdom's in us.
4 Oh God, where are You?
I need You desperately!
Oh God, who are You?
Why don’t You answer me?
The heavens declare You and the earth
shows Your beauty.
But I’m a man. Oh God, I’m so empty!
Lord, have mercy! I’m crying for You!
Please hear! Are You really true?
I’m dark and lonely. You’re far,
far from me.
Oh Lord, I need You desperately!
5 One day a friend told me
that Jesus is the Lord.
To my great surprise,
it’s written in the Word.
They asked me to believe You.
Your name I once blasphemed.
Dear Lord, You saved me
just by calling on Your name.
Oh, Lord Jesus, dear Son, so glorious,
I’m cleansed and You enter into me.
Oh, Lord Jesus, Your name most precious!
Your Person, dear Lord, I now possess.

1 Where’s the answer?
Bm F#m
There must be more for me.
G D Em A D – A
Is this all to life – an empty vanity?
D A Bm F#m
Day by day and year by year go by.
G D Em G D
Am I just a man, a man just born to die?
Bm F#m Em Bm
Where’s the answer? Oh I’m so empty
G A Bm – A
And plagued by this vanity.
Bm F#m Em Bm
Deep inside me, my conscience tells me:
G A Bm – A
I need another destiny.
2 I convince my friends
that everything’s alright,
That my life and future
and everything’s so bright.
But a sense inside me,
my friends, I can’t deny,
Warning deep inside me
that I was living a lie.
3 The world and its glitter left me anxious,
dark and bitter,
Always yearning, my friends
is there something better?
And religion, my friends,
is just a Sunday game –
Dead teachings and doctrines
will leave you just the same.

D G
1 From my spirit, when I’m sensing the supply
D A A7
Of God’s speaking, from a fount that ne’er runs dry,
D G
And within me comes a fresh and sweet supply,
D A D – G – D
Then I’ve got to open up and water you.
D
Water you, water you
G Em – A
From the flowing in my spirit water you;
D D7
When the saints need my supply,
G Em
Then I’ll surely testify,
D A D
I’ll stand up, release my Christ and water you!
2 In the meeting, when the spirit’s rising high,
And it seems like we will go beyond the sky –
I can’t help it, I must speak or else I’ll die,
For my Christ is rising up to water you.
3 Should a pause come, or the meeting ebb real low,
While within me there’s a rich and living flow,
Then I’ll stand up, so that all the saints will know,
That I’m here to share my Christ and water you.
4 In the church life, in our daily living too,
In the meeting, and in everything we do,
Christ is speaking and the Spirit’s breaking through,
That is why there’s the supply to water you.

It's nothing like religion teaches,
F C
"You have to wait until you die."
F
For the Kingdom Christ is building,
C F C
Is here on earth before our eyes.
2 His Son, Jesus, is our Savior.
Once in human form He came.
Now as the Spirit He can enter
As the breath of life to man.
As a seed within our spirit
Christ takes root and starts to grow,
Spreading in our inmost being
Till His life we come to know.
3 As we pour upon Him,
This is not just a waste
But a fragrant testimony
Of the sweetness of the Lord.
The Lord loving us
And we loving Him:
This the fragrance
Of our love offering.
4 Throughout the past centuries,
Tens of thousands of precious lives,
Heart treasures, golden futures
Have been wasted upon the Lord.
To such lovers,
He’s altogether lovely
And ultimately worthy
Of their costly ointment.
5 We must love the Lord
And grasp the opportunity.
Yes, love Him to the uttermost:
A fragrance sweet to God and man.
The Lord loving us
And we loving Him:
This the fragrance
Of our love offering.
6 Lord Jesus, we just love You.
Our life and all we pour on You.
We waste ourselves upon You.
In this universe we just love You.
We can’t help but love You,
You’re the greatest value.
Our love is just an issue
Of our seeing of You.

One is salvation,
The other consecration.
Lord, we pour out
All our love offering.
3 Time is short, oh brothers hear it.
Christ is longing for His Bride.
We can hasten His returning,
Simply by the growth in life.
No more struggling, no more striving,
Simply turn to Christ within.
See the seed begin to blossom,
Growing fully into Him.
Jesus Christ will get His Kingdom
By growing in a normal way.
It's not an instant transformation.
This growth goes on from day to day.
The seed of life is all-inclusive.
It's got everything we'll ever need.
Yes, our God's eternal purpose
Is all within this precious seed.

D Bm
1 The Bible is a romance
G D
In the most holy sense:
Bm
God and His chosen people
Em A
In love it so presents.
Em G D
This Universal Couple
G D A
Throughout it is displayed;
Bm G
God in Christ is the Bridegroom,
A D
His saints, the Bride, portrayed.
2 Through shadows, types, and figures,
God’s deepest thought is known;
As typified by Adam,
The Husband, Christ, is shown.
A rib brought forth from Adam
Reveals the source of life
By which God built a woman:
Eve, as the church, His wife.
3 To be His people’s Husband,
To take them as His wife:
This is what God desires
To live in marriage life.
Their sacrifice and worship
Alone could not content;
But with them to be married
Was God’s foremost intent.
4 This romance is the finest
As seen in the Song of Songs;
For her beloved’s kisses
His seeking lover longs.
Love’s work in her produces
Let me pour the ointment pure
On Your head and on Your feet,
On You, most precious One,
Because You love me.
4 Let my love from my being wash Your feet
To my glory without wipe them too
Let me kiss them where the nails would pierce.
All my love, Lord, and glory I’ll waste on You.
I love You!
Jesus, I love You!
All my glory and love I pour
and waste on You.
Receive my ointment, Lord.
It’s all I have, dear Lord.
For You, most precious One,
Because I love You.

What was weak is mighty,

What was dark is light,

Walking by the Spirit in His Word!
Failure’s turned to vict’ry,
Sighing’s turned to praise.

2 Let me take a pound of ointment pure
Of great value to anoint Your feet
And wipe them with my hair
That the house be filled with the fragrance
of the ointment.
(Chorus 1)
3 Lord, they said if You were a prophet,
You should know who and what I am.
I’m a sinner that toucheth You.
A woman not worthy to anoint You.
But I love You!
Jesus, I love You!
You forgave me the most
now I love You, Lord, the most.
No person of her own,
But she becomes the City,
Her Person, Christ alone.
5 Christ is our coming Bridegroom;
We are the church, His Bride,
Redeemed, regenerated,
The issue of His side,
In source, in life, in nature
And person fully one,
His counterpart forever,
The New Jerusalem.

D A G D
1 Do you know what you were made for;
Em G A
Do you ever wonder why?
D A G D
What’s the purpose for your being;
Em G A
What’s the reason you’re alive?
D A
Do you know God wants to be your life?
G D
He wants to be your life, He wants to be your life.
A
You were made with something deep within,
D
A vessel to contain just Him.
2 Deep within you is your spirit,
Even deeper than your “heart”;
Many other things can fill you –
Only Jesus can fill this part.
You have been so empty all these years;
In spite of all you’ve tried, you’re still not satisfied.
Don’t you feel a longing deep within
To open up and take Christ in?
3 Doesn’t matter how you see things,
For in God’s eyes “all have sinned”;
Jesus shed His blood to cleanse you
For the purpose of getting in.
He’s done everything there is to do,
And He’s the Spirit now so He can get in you.
Makes no difference what your past has been;
The living Christ will still come in.
4 Just as you are in your body,
Perfectly contained therein,
God wants you for His container,
All you need to do is let Him in.
Would you open up from deep within
To let the Lord come in and fill you to the brim.
Why not open up from deep within
And call upon the name of Him.
142

E7 A
My heart is drawn, I just love You.
Em A D-Bm-D
I just love You, dear Lord.
2 As mercy, You reached me.
You laid aside Your glory.
You’re God, Lord, the Almighty,
Yet You became a slave for me.
What kind of love You have for man,
Beyond our power to comprehend!
I love You, Lord Jesus.
3 I’m evil and fallen.
My nature, Lord, is just sin.
You’re righteous and holy.
All that You are was condemning me.
What made You Lord to die for me?
You joined man’s race and took my place.
Redeeming us Jesus.
4 You died, Lord, on Calvary
Your blood is flowing now for me.
Your blood, Lord, is precious.
O, what a price You paid for us!
No tongue or pen can ever tell:
Your mercy reached me down in hell.
You reached me, Lord Jesus.

Where is the one lost coin?
Yes, You have the nine,
But the one You must find.
Dear Spirit, You’re sweeping
All over the earth.
3 Father, dear Father,
Have mercy on mankind!
He’s fallen to the pig’s pen.
When will he return?
Dear Father, just kiss them,
Your son’s coming home.
4 Father of mercy,
Clothe him with the best robe
And kill the fatted calf
And eat and be merry –
He was lost, but found,
Was dead, but now he lives

D G
1 The Lord has put me in the Body,

He has made a member out of me;

I’m leaving all the things on the tree of knowledge,
D A D
And learning how to eat the living tree.

He’s put me on His farm here just to grow,

We’re only here because we love our Jesus,

We stand as ONE so all the world will know.
2 The Lord doesn’t need more individuals,
He’s got too many now, it’s plain to see;
All He wants is One New Man forever,
And that doesn’t leave any room for you and me.
The only way that we’ll be one is Jesus!
The only way for Him to gather us,
Is by our EATING, DRINKING, BREATHING JESUS!
Until His riches overflow in us!
3 The Lord has put me in the church life,
Christ and the church, His image to express;
He’s chosen me according to His purpose,
And won’t be satisfied with something less.
The only way that we’ll be one is Jesus!
The only way for Him to gather us,
Is by our EATING, DRINKING, BREATHING JESUS!
Until His riches overflow in us!

Tune: Hymns 396 (I’m pressing on the upward way)
G C
1 I’m pressing on the God-man way,
G D
New Christ I’m gaining every day,
G C
Still groaning through this world of strife,
G D G
I want to live a God-man life!
G D
Lord grow in me! You are the seed,
D7 G
Of God-man life; You’re all I need.
G7 C
In all my heart, I give You ground.
G D G
Lord, may Your life in me abound!
2 My heart has no desire to stay,
On hardened ground, in the world’s way.
Satan no more shall steal Your Word,
I’ll move my heart where You are heard!
3 I want to deal with rocks in me
From hidden sins, I would be free.
My heart I would clear up through prayer,
I’ll gain more depth to root You there!
4 The choking thorns, us barren make,
The life seed soon they’ll overtake.
Riches, anxiety reject,
Just for God’s growth the ground protect!
5 The sun must shine for us to grow,
So persecution we will know.
When it seems more than we can bear,
Lord, help us drink You deeply there!
Loving Her, following Her,
Living for Her,
Together with all saints
Are built as God's delight;
Waiting for Him to come
For His glorious Bride.

O Lord Jesus, my Lord, I love You!

For I’ve found the living, loving one reality.

Solely for Him.

I would no longer roam,
For I've found the Church,
My home sweet home;
Where I with the saints
Feed together on the Lord
'Tis the place where I find life
So real and good.
I've given my life
And my all to the Church;
6 We want to grow to utmost height,
Until Your body comes in sight.
Yourself in man will then be shown;
Your plan at last by all be known!

Oh, it's so clear; so I sing!

Than turning to Jesus,
When the shadows of the day
Begin to haunt me.

Quenching all my fear and doubt.
Jesus is the all-inclusive Love.

Oh, it's so clear; so I sing!

Now we meet as the church in every city,

Praising our Lord, He is so wonderful!

great victory.

In my heart, You will have Your way
Take more room each day.
But thanks be to God

In the Holy of Holies
F G C
We must become a captive of Christ.

Many times, reality is that

Christ is captive to us,

This becomes our own fleshly

Victory.
2 Conquer me,
Subdue me,
That I’d no longer be Your enemy.
Defeat me at any cost
That my own will would be lost.
Your desires make my own.
Never let me win.
3 I’m willing,
Defeat me.
Put the world and sins beneath my feet.
Within me is rebellion
Defeat it, conquer and subdue it.
Carry me away as Your
Captive.
4 Today
There’s a need
For us to become captives.
We will see
The affect on those around us.
So become a little captive,
A living sacrifice,
In the triumph of Christ.
6 Each day the world I leave behind
You write Your laws upon my mind
Inscribing on my softened heart
Filling every part
7 O Lord, I’m just a tree in You
Rooted and being built in You
Absorbing all You are to me
What a place to be!

6 As I dwell in You, Lord, You’re flowing through.
Lord, You’re filling me, overflowing too.
Here we all are one and expressing You.
Here our joy is full as we dwell in You.

1 Timothy Chapter 1, Footnote 11
G D C
1 The faith is the economy, the economy of God
G C D
The household administration, the dispensing of our God
G D C
The truth is the content, the reality of the faith,
G D C – D
According to God’s economy.
G D
Godliness is a living that expresses
C G
The divine reality,
D
An expression of God in all His riches
C G
His Body corp’rately.
2 Healthy teaching, words, and speaking
Are the ministry of the truth,
Ministering into people the reality of these truths;
Eternal life is the means and the power to carry out,
The divine realities of the faith;
3 Faith is the response to the truth of the faith
Conscience is a test and a check to preserve us
in the faith.
The faith is the economy, the economy of God,
The household administration, the dispensing of our God;
4 The faith, the truth, expressed in healthy words,
Carried out in power by His life
Expressed in Godly living responded to by faith,
Kept and held in check by our conscience.

G C
1 First man Adam, then temptation;
D C G
Lots of trouble there for you and me;
C
Time for praying, trusting Jesus,
D C G
Full salvation, just open up your heart.
D
Lord I call, take me home
C D
To the place where I belong;
G D
Love and oneness in your family,
C G
Take me home, precious Lord.
2 Where’s the answer? Who can find it?
Must be somewhere, you feel it in your bones.
Where to turn to? Who will guide you?
Who will love you when you are all alone?
3 Hear the gospel, words of wisdom,
They’re not lying, Jesus died for all;
Heart of granite, empty vessel,
Stop your running, there’s nowhere left to go.
115
D G D
1 In my spirit, I can see You as You are –

You’re the Alpha, Omega, the Bright and Morning Star.

Here You’ll stay, just as a flow within
A D
To occupy my heart and spread Your life within ---
A – G A
In my spirit --- You’re all in all to me …
2 In my spirit, I can see You in the church;
It’s Your heart’s desire, for it a people You will search.
Here I’ll stay, within Your perfect will,
Built up into a home, Your glory here to fill
In the church --- I must no longer roam.
A
In my spirit, is the key,
G A D
No longer need I worry right or wrong;
A
In the church, reality ---
G A D
Rooted, grounded in Your plan where I belong.
3 In Your purpose, we just flow along in life.
It’s so simple, no more unrest and strife.
In the churches, we just enjoy You, Lord.
Here You can build us up, for we’re in one accord,
In the churches --- we know You’ll be back soon.
(Repeat chorus and 3rd verse)

Am F C
1 Oh, my Lord, I give myself to You –
D F
There’s nothing else to do,
Em E
My world is over now!
Am F C
All the world lies in the evil one,
D F
But I’m the Father’s son;
Em E
His love has met my need.
F Em Dm C
Lord, I give myself to You completely;
Lord, I need to sense the flow of life.
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
Dm Em E
I love you, I really do!
2 Lord, I long to have You flow in me.
My heart could never be
Content with less than You.
Deep within, my heart cries out to You,
Hungry and thirsty too
For that sweet flow of life.
3 Shining One, in me direct Thy rays,
Shine through all false displays;
Let me not be deceived.
Lord, I know, I need Thy light to shine,
How else can I be Thine?
You must enlighten me.
4 Cleanse me now; don’t let one sin remain.
I cannot be the same;
Your life is all I need.
Oh forgive my failure and my sin.
Make me so clean within
So You can flow in me.
And proclaim your declaration
“Jesus, be my full salvation, be my life!”
Now you’ve touched Him, so cry out, “Hallelujah!”
As He fills you, cry aloud, “Oh my Lord!”
“Jesus Lord, you are much more than I ever dreamed
or longed for,
Take my life, Lord, I belong to you!”

C Dm G F C
1 Born of my father, descended from Adam,
Em Am D7 G
A life in my flesh is God’s enemy.
C F C Am Dm
I have inherited God’s condemnation,
G C F G7 C
Death and sin were reigning in me.
2 But love eternal appeared and He called me,
Out from the lost and hopeless race.
Into His Son now I have been transferred,
Born of the Spirit, into His grace.
3 I am God’s child now, free to enjoy Him.
The Spirit of life is reigning in me.
Christ is my walking, my living, my breathing,
All that I have and ever will be.
4 Chosen and guided into His purpose,
From individual to corporate man.
Now in His Body, we can experience
All the unlimited grace of His plan.
5 This is the mystery hidden from ages.
For this God brought us from sinner to son.
Practical church life, daily transforming
Into the oneness, God’s expression.
131
G7 D
1 Now this was once my situation,
G
Wanting to be a sensation,
D A7
In my fellows’ estimation quite a guy!
D D7
But all I met was great frustration,
G
And the endless aggravation
D A7 D – G – D
Of those unseen complications in myself.
G
And it made me want to say, “It’s a raw deal!”
D A
And it made me want to think, “Only if….”
D D7
And I wonder everyday,
G
“Is there anything to living,
D A
‘cept to slowly die and dream of someday!”
2 But then I had a confrontation,
With a joyful delegation,
They were filled with great elation, Jesus too!
And Jesus paid a visitation,
By His new life germination,
I became a new creation through and through.
Oh, He made me scream and shout, “Hallelujah!”
Oh, He made me cry aloud, “Oh my Lord!”
Oh, He flooded me with joy
‘cause the glory in my spirit
Made me part of God’s own family.
3 So, if you’re craving liberation
From your old life’s degradation
You have found your destination here tonight!
Just turn your heart in preparation
5 Oh, the joy! To have that life and peace!
Darkness and death have ceased
In Thy sweet presence, Lord.
Oh, the joy from fellowship so real!
Even the heav’ns, I feel,
Cannot compare with this.
Lord, I give myself to You completely;
How I praise You for the flow of life!
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus,
I love You, I really do!

2 Christ as Life – wondrous Person;
All His riches, now our full supply!
For the building, Life’s our need:
Life will build us – the enemy will fly
3 Let us rise – with our weapon;
Give ourselves for the Building of the Lord:
Slay contention, kill opinions:
This our weapon – the Spirit’s living sword.
Em D G
4 There is a way that we can know the Life of Jesus;
C D
And by this Life we’ll be built up as one for his home;
Em D C
Just turn to Him and take His Word by prayer,

In your spirit daily pray His Word, pray His Word.

D Em A D E7 A
1 Father, I know that all my life is portioned out for me,
A7 D G D A D
And changes that are sure to come I do not fear to see;
E7 A-A7 D Em D A7 D
I ask Thee for a present mind intent on pleasing Thee.
2 I ask Thee for a thoughtful love, through constant watching wise,
To meet the glad with joyful smiles, to wipe the weeping eyes
A heart at leisure from itself, to soothe and sympathize.
3 I would not have the restless will that hurries to and fro,
Seeking for some great thing to do or secret thing to know;
I would be treated as a child, and guided where I go.
4 Wherever in the world I am, in whatso’er estate,
I have a fellowship with hearts to keep and cultivate;
A work of lowly love to do for Him on whom I wait.
5 I ask Thee for the daily strength, to none that ask denied,
A mind to blend with outward life while keeping at Thy side;
Content to fill a little space, if Thou be glorified.
6 And if some things I do not ask my cup of blessing be,
I’d have my spirit filled the more with grateful love to Thee,
More careful, not to serve Thee much, but please Thee perfectly.
7 The briers besetting every path, they call for patient care;
There is a cross in every lot, an earnest need for prayer;
A lowly heart that leans on Thee is happy anywhere.
8 In service which Thy will appoints there are no bonds for me;
My inmost heart is taught “the truth” that makes Thy children
“free”
A life of self-renouncing love, a life of liberty.
129
C F
1 There’s a gospel of today
Em F C
That says believe and you’ll be saved – and then
F Em
You can go to heaven and see the pearly gates
F C
And walk the golden streets
C Am – F G
Words like these – fail to treat
C Am – F G C
All the vanity – that is hidden in me.
2 But the gospel is to me
The Triune God within humanity
As the Spirit reaching me to be in me
The one reality
Love untold – Gospel Thee
Never getting old – story told eternally.
3 Left the ninety-nine behind –
You searched until the lost sheep You did find
Laid me on Your shoulders there, You bore me in
Your tender loving care
Rejoicing – You found me
Though a small lost sheep – You gave all to come find me.
4 Sweeping in my deepest parts,
You lit a lamp and searched my inward heart
Sanctifying deep within You shined in me,
Exposed me of my sin
Repenting – now I see
Lord, You’re sprinkling me – with the blood You shed for me.
5 Eagerly awaiting me
That I the slightest turn to Thee would make
Though my life had been a wreck, You ran to me
And fell upon my neck
Kissing me, affectionately
Killed the calf for me – “Let us eat and be merry.”
119

show you how. Just call –

1 What is life, what is it for?
Am
What’s life’s meaning,
D
I must hear more.
G Em
Mysterious it seems to be,
Am D7
Deeply hidden here in me.
G Em
Yet I know it’s real, Lord,
Am D7
As I touch you here.
G Em
Grant us revelation,
Am D7 G
Give us ears to hear.
D
For we must know just what life is
C G
We must really know its meaning,

We must drop all of our thoughts,
C G
We must drop all of our feelings.
G Em
We want life, we want life,
Am D
What more could we desire?
G Em
Through the knowledge of your life, Lord,
Am D G
Take us deeper and higher.
God of Glory, God of Glory
Do appear to us each day,
Call us out into Your building,
Your desire on earth today.

1 I’ve found the One who’s all to me;

He’s become reality.
D7 G Em
Now He’s in my life to stay;

He is the truth, the life, the way.
D A7
And Jesus is the One who came

Down to earth to bear our shame,
D7 G Em
But that’s not all, He lives in me.
D A D – G – D
Once I was blind, but now I see.
2 Now through His life we have the flow,
Showing us the way to go;
Keeping us in unity,
And this is His recovery.
3 Now Jesus is the Lord of all;
On His name we all must call.
Then our spirits find release,
And thus our hearts have found real peace.
127
D G A7
1 Praise the Lord! The God of Glory
D F#m G A7
Who appeared to Abraham
D G A7
Has appeared to us in spirit
Em A7 D
For His purpose and His plan!
D A7 Bm F#m
God of Glory, God of Glory,
G Em Bm D
Do appear to us today,
D A7 Bm F#m
Saturate and permeate us
G Em A7 D
Till You fully have Your way.
2 Once we were in old Chaldea,
Worshipping the idols there;
But the God of Glory called us,
Save us all from Satan’s snare.
Get out, get out, from Chaldea,
From that evil foreign land.
Come in, come in, to the good land.
Christ, the church, the one new man.
3 With the calling comes the promise
Of the kingdom life on earth.
This becomes our strength and motive
To get out of all the dearth!
Lord, we’re crossing every river –
For this You must call us on,
Till Your kingdom and expression
On this earth are fully come.
4 This is now the highest gospel
To those still in Chaldee’s land –
Leave the fallen situation,
You’ve been chosen for God’s plan.
2 In 1 John 5, it’s plain to see,
If I have the Son I have life in me.
He did come that we might have life,
And have it more abundantly.
In Him was life,
And the life was the light of men,
Only the life of God is life,
God’s life will never end.
You see, “I AM that I AM”
Is the life that has no end,
Any other so-called life
Must always die, my friend.
Life divine for all time,
In it only God we find.
He’s the source and the substance
Of this new life of mine!
3 God flowed out Himself to earth,
Hence we have the Christ-child’s birth.
Then He flowed out once again,
From the pierced side of Him.
Once the rock is so struck,
Out the waters flow,
Now this life is poured out,
And it’s God that we know.
For it is life, life, life,
That is flowing from the throne.
The Lamb of God is seated there
To flow out to His own.
Life is God as a flow,
Reaching all of us to grow,
Firstfruits for the Master’s table,
This is the life we must know.
121
C Am F – G
1 How glorious is Thy church, Oh Lord –
C Am G
No trace of sin in her.
C G F
What myst’ry this: God died as man,
F G C
For, oh, He loves her so!
C Am F – G
Glorious, Glor’ous church,
C Am G
She is Thy dear Bride;
C G C F
She was built from Thine own side
G C
She is the same as Thee.
2 How precious is Thy Body, Lord;
How costly in Thy sight.
I’d ne’er bring anything of self,
For she is out from Thee.
3 How faithful is Thyself, dear Lord –
Eternally the same.
Though man may fail to reach Thy will,
Thou shalt obtain Thy Bride.
4 How subtle is my self, Oh Lord;
Yet I wilt be transformed.
Through Spirit’s work – become a stone
To build up Thine own Bride.
5 How precious is Thy Body, Lord;
How costly in my sight.
I would decrease, and Thee increase
At any cost for her.
126
D A G
1 Until He comes again,
A D
I’ll watch and wait and call on Him
A G
I’ll pray that by His life and power,
A D
I’ll overcome in every hour.
2 Until He comes again,
His blood will cleanse me of my sin
His word will sanctify within,
And make me wholly unto Him.
D A G – A
B: He died to be life to me –
From death I’m free.
D A G – A
S: He rose and as Spirit He
Now lives in me.
D A G – A
B: In splendor and in glory
Like Him I’ll be.
3 Until He comes again,
My soul-life I’ll give up for Him.
No worldly pleasure can compare
To what my Savior has to share.
4 And when He comes again,
All saints built up and one in Him.
His Body, Bride, and Counterpart,
Eternal pleasure of His heart.
S: Lord, gain Your kingdom in me,
I long to be…
B: One with my Savior and King,
Eternally.
S: Oh, what a joy it will be
Your face to see.
(Repeat verse one)

D G D
1 Some, these days, would tell us that our Jesus is not food,
G D E7 A7
That we only need to know about Him and do good,
D G D
But we're glad to tell you brothers, it's just not that way---
G D E7 A7 D
Jesus is the bread of life; we eat Him every day.
D7 G
We love the church life, eating,
D
drinking, breathing Jesus.
Bm E7
We love the church life, taking
A
in God's Word.
D D7 G
We love to hear those "O Lord,
D
Amen, Hallelujahs!"
Bm E7
We love the church life, feasting
A7 D
with the Lord.
2 When He fills our inward parts, we're never quite the same,
So much richness we can taste by calling on His name.
"Services" but once a week for us will never do.
Every day we need the fellowship to take us through.
3 If these latter days and situations of the world
Make you feel that round a vicious circle you are swirled,
Then please listen closely to the things we have to say;
It may be that you will find with us a better way.
122
D F#m Bm
1 Life’s too short
G A
To waste a single day
D F#m Bm
The Kingdom’s life
G A
Is closer every day.
G F#m
In the midst of time,
G F#m
The kingdom’s mine
Em Em7 A D – Bm – G – A
Just by calling on Your name each day.
2 The sweetest taste
Of life is deep within.
It’s flowing out
Is primed by calling Him.
At the end of time,
The goal we’ll see
The New Jerusalem we’ll be.
3 Time is quickly
Running out each day.
The Lord will come
And swiftly end this age.
At the end of time,
The goal we’ll see
The millennium is our entry.
123
D A G D
1 In our life, in all we do and say
F#m Em A7 D
There's the tree of life for us to eat each day;
G A
Signifying God as life;
F#m B7
Simple, pure, and free from strife,
Em7 A
To be taken in as nourishment divine.
D G A D
We cannot outgrow our need to eat;
F#m Em A7 D
For this living tree with fruit abundant, sweet
G A
Meets our largest, smallest need,
F#m B7
Even is our life indeed;
Em7 A
We depend upon its life exclusively.
D
How we depend for our living
G
On the life-tree, always giving
D Em A D – D7
God as life to us in each and everything.
G A
We will eat every day
D G
Till this life-tree has a way
D Em A D
To become our life in all we do and say.
2 But there is another tree to see;
Called the tree of knowledge, Satan's subtlety.
If we eat this tree, this lie,
We'll know right and wrong, yet die;
For this tree will feed our criticizing mind.
Thus we need to turn away our heart,.
From the tree of good and evil to depart;
Nevermore entangled there;
Flee unto the life-tree where
Right and wrong does not become our great concern.
Lord, we'll just eat the life-tree
And become so free and happy
There enjoying You as life abundantly.
Thank you, Lord, for the way
To live by Your life today;
Eating of the tree of life forevermore!
124
G D
1 Lord, write Your law, inscribe on our hearts
G
That this law of life would of us be part,
D
We are so hopeless, yet we hope in Him,
G
Preparing a way for Christ to come in.
G D
Lord, in these days I want to set my heart
C D
Ever and only always on You,
C D
That I would not defiled be,
C D G
Keeping my heart so single and pure for Thee.
2 Lord as the fountain You’d want us to drink
Always supplying, it’s my only link
Staying connected to this precious flow,
Planting my roots here that they would grow.
3 You are the Potter, we are the clay,
Form now the church, Your expression today,
In Christ there’s nothing that we may lack,
As now Your body, we’d bring You back.
