O Jesus Lord, Thou fairest of the fair—
None in heav’n nor on the earth can e’er compare.
Better than wine is Thy sweet love to me,
How could I still seek what’s less than Thee?
All the earthly pleasures could not fill my soul,
Failed to satisfy the longing to be whole.
These all shall pass,
Wither, and fade, and flee,
But, You’re mine
Eternally.

2
Lord, deep within, I’ve still so many things
Hidden in the chambers of my inner being
I hear Thy call—Thy voice, Thy knock—a song.
Lord, come in; hast Thou been kept too long?
Search my heart! There’s nothing I desire to keep.
All is Thine! Do then what Thou, Thy heart, doth please.
But in return
For what Thou take from me,
Fill me Lord,
Eternally.

3
Draw me, Beloved into Thy presence dear,
I would kiss Thy feet and wash them with my tears.
My love I pour, my life I waste on Thee;
Seize this precious opportunity!
I gave all, and yet the gain was so much more:
Thine own person in exchange for love outpoured.
’Tis ne’er a loss
To lose myself to Thee,
My Beloved,
Eternally.

My Beloved, Eternally

To my Lord I will sing, for I’ve received
Endless mercy, love and grace in Jesus my King.
Oh, what love!
Even though undeserved, He gave Himself for me.

Now I open my heart
To offer praise to Thee;
There is an infinite gratitude 
In all my heart 
For all You’ve giv’n to me.

To fulfill all the law, He took my place;
He obeyed, e’en suffering, my sin to erase.
I’m redeemed!
Jesus has satisfied God’s heart, and set me free!

Now I open my heart
To offer praise to Thee.
There is an infinite gratitude
In all my heart
For all You’ve done for me.

Wondrous news You’ve revealed—now I can see!
Oh, what grace! Your love divine is flowing in me!
Oh! That gaze!
Eyes full of tenderness! Beholding face to face,

Now I open my heart
To offer praise to Thee.
There is an infinite gratitude
In all my heart
For all You’ve shown to me.

Riven veil—living way thus He affords.
He arose, the work completed! Oh, praise the Lord!
Oh! What peace!
Now I can boldly come into the holiest place!

Now I open my heart
To offer praise to Thee.
Your name is infinite plenitude!
Oh, Jesus Lord!
You’re everything to me!




Infinite Gratitude (To my Lord I will sing) with Anaheim

Message 1, 2023 Memorial Day Conference in Chicago, IL. Each stanza is an aspect of Paul taking Christ as everything in Philippians.

✨✨✨

(LIVING – 1:21)
For to me, to live is Christ
And to die is gain.
Praise You Lord, I’m free from the law—
In Your life I’d remain!

CHORUS
Thank You for the pattern of Your faithful brother Paul
Make me one who takes Christ as my all.

(EXPRESSION – 1:20)
Whether through life or through death
Christ I’ll magnify!
Make me bold, I’ll not be ashamed
My soul You’ll Christify!

(MIND – 2:5)
Lord I want Your mind in me
Thinking the one thing!
Lord I want to be one in soul
To Your heart, I would cling!

(RIGHTEOUSNESS – 3:9)
And be found in You alone,
You’re my righteousness!
Not that which is out of the law
But by Your faithfulness.

(PREEMINENCE – 3:8)
Jesus Lord, You’re excellent,
All things are but loss.
Good or bad—it’s food for the dogs
I’ve left them on the cross.

(GOAL – 3:12-14)
Lord I’m not yet at the goal
But I see the prize!
I forget, I stretch and pursue,
I’ve left all earthly ties.

(VIRTUES – 4:8)
Righteous, dignified, and pure,
Lovely, well, and true.
May I take account of these things
My praise and my virtue.

(POWER – 4:13)
I can do all things in Him
He empowers me!
Living out Christ in everything
By His sufficiency.

(SECRET – 4:11-12)
Hallelujah, I have learned 
In all of my need—
To apply this secret of mine
Yes, in all things indeed.

(EXPECTATION – 3:20-21)
Hope of glory, quickly come—
‘Come Lord’ this I pray.
Eagerly I’m waiting for You
The price, Oh Lord, I’ll pay.

Thank You for the pattern of Your faithful brother Paul
Make me one who takes Christ as my all.
Keep me open to Your daily call.

The Pattern of Paul

榮耀的等候。主耶穌。盼望你的來臨。
我的心中多麼快樂。口中呼喚著你。
時時警惕。常常祈求。等候主回來。
十字架上的耶穌流下了寶血。洗盡了我的錯。
十字架上的耶穌流下了寶血。 為我來脫罪。
你的憐憫你的恩典我要跟著你。

Genesis 1:26, 28

in the Ruins (cover instrumental)

Heartbeat from Afar” is an emotional instrumental piece inspired by the artist’s journeys back to his homeland, Syria — a place of deep memories, beauty, and pain. Through melancholic melodies and atmospheric textures, Danny Al Qassar captures the feeling of distance, nostalgia, and the quiet pulse of a heart that still beats for home.
This track blends cinematic emotion with intimate reflection — a soundscape of longing, love, and resilience born from both war and hope.

Heartbeat from afar Danny Al Qassar

In the summer semiannual of 2016, Ron Kangas read this hymn in one of the messages. The original words of the hymn would usually say "teach me thy ways, oh Lord," but Ron Kangas changed the words to "show me thy ways, oh Lord." This phrasing matches Exodus 33:13 -- "Now therefore if I have found favor in Your sight, please let me know now Your ways, that I may know You, so that I may continue to find favor in Your sight."
We used Mark and Hollie's tune, and changed the words to match brother Ron's wonderful tweaks to this classic hymn.

Show Me Thy Ways (Hymn 406)

Sun Of My Soul

Hebrews 4:15 For we do not have a High Priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all respects like us, yet without sin
4:16 Let us therefore come forward with boldness to the throne of grace that we may receive mercy and find grace for timely help.
