w/ the Ball brothers

Jehovah’s habitation isn’t made with hands
His eternal longing is to dwell in man.
His footstool is the earth,
The heavens are His throne,
But the place He’s chosen,
The human spirit, is His home!

Chorus:
Christ lives inside my spirit  
Supplying me with grace
He wants to spend His time with me
Beholding face to face
I shouldn’t merely touch Him 
And then just walk away
But in my spirit stay and linger
All throughout the day!

The Holy of Holies is the place where man
Communicates with God and is infused with Him,
Not in the Outer Court
Beyond the Holy Place
We must go further to behold
The glorious shining of His face!

Now Jesus lives inside us so we all must take
Him daily as our fortress and our hiding place
He’s being built in us
We’re being built in him
A mutual habitation
For all eternity, AMEN!

A Life of No Regrets

He Giveth More Grace

Book: God's Need and God's Goal
Chapter: Failures Enabling Man to Enjoy more of God

Blessed are those of fail
Blessed are those who fall
This is God's sovereign way
That He would become our all
Through failure we can know God
Experience and enjoy him

Thank You Lord that You
Allow me to fail
I was dead but now I live
Praise You for not always letting me prevail
Though my heart be broken, 
My spirit be broken,
Make these failures precious and sweet to me

As the younger son
I was lost but found again
As the Father, You
Waited for me to return
Together we’re rejoicing
Your riches and love now reach me

Blessed are Those Who Fail

Calling On Your Name

1. Lamb of God—our dear Redeeming One is Christ!
For our sins He paid the highest price
To redeem and to recover us
Who were lost and fallen far from God.
As the Lamb, He had no blemish;
He was meek, even submissive.
How can we like Him obedient be
Unto death, that even of the cross?

CHORUS: I want to follow Him,
Rest from all my wandering,
End all my endeavoring;
Even though I know not where or
How—I know He cares!
I know He’ll never err; I know He’ll lead me well.
I know His voice; this now my choice—
Follow where the Lamb would lead.

2. When He came, though many followed in the way,
Few remained who knew Him and His ways.
Lamb of God—He took  the narrow gate;
The constricted way to life He traced;
Sacrificed, though men denied Him;
Gave His life, though men forsook Him.
How can we t’ward Him still hardened be
When to us He gave all selflessly?

3. Lord we pray, preserve us faithful in the way
All our days, never to fall away.
By Your grace, keep us pursuing You,
Taking up the cross to follow You.
Consecrate we unreservedly,
Absolute for You entirely.
In our hearts, Lord, let the highways be
Unto Zion single-heartedly.

CHORUS 2: Now we will follow Him!
To His call we’re answering,
All we are we’re offering.
New Jerusalem we see
Come down from heav’n to earth!
God and man mingled now, our oneness we avow
Eternally, O gloriously!
This is where the Lamb would lead!

I Want To Follow Him

Chosen, called, responding to You, 
Meeting You has given my life value. 
Though I’m young, I haste to pursue You, To be a vessel Your riches shine through.
Consecrating, I hesitate: Can I that blest goal of glory attain?
In Your light I suddenly see: Not my might, but Your unrivaled mercy!

Fresh consecration! Wholly for Thee, I’ll closely follow, time redeem!
Live Your transcendent life, Lord, through me, That the treasure within be seen!

Treasure hid in vessels of earth Manifests Your power and transcendence;
In Your face’s light e’er abiding, If nearer Thee, naught more would I desire.
Pressure, persecutions, and wounds Just bring resurrection life into bloom;
Though we suffer light transient pain, The eternal weight of glory’s gained!

God of glory shines, drawing us; Goodbye world, our lives are for God’s purpose!
Precious vessels ready for using, No matter where, as long as it’s with Thee.
We are washed and cleansed by Your word, Unencumbered, holy, transparent, pure;
Mold us, Lord, conform us to Thee; At Your call, we’d rise up instantly!

New Jerusalem is our dream; For her building, steadfast we’re pursuing;
Love outpoured, sweet ointment o’erflowing, Fight boldly for the interests of our God.
Vital, spread the God-ordained way Till as one the new revival we gain;
Oh my Lord, my love, quickly come, As You promised, in our generation!
