This song comes from 2 Thessalonians 2:10-11, a warning to us which says "And in all deceit of unrighteousness among those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved. And because of this God sends to them an operation of error that they might believe the lie."

      C                     F        G  C              
1. Through many conversations
                                F              G
Opening up to the Lord in all things
              Dm                 C
Whether big things or small
           G                          Am
He is touched with them all
            F              Dm      G
To dispense His supply therein. 
 
2.  Yet we await His speaking 
Giving Him the first place in all things 
As He moves in our heart,
All His burden imparts,
We become letters sealed with Him. 


Chorus:
                        F        G          C -Am 
Then we flow out--  just who we are
                      F           G              C   -Am
As who we are is increasingly Christ.
                  F         G               C             Am  -F
When we contact God in our mingled spirit 
                       G             C
We know His heart and mind.


3. The sense of life directs us
In His gentle anointing each day
As His life operates,
In the choices we make
We depend ever more on Him. 
 
4.  His written Word is living 
When we catch, with the Spirit, the flame
As we pray with His Word
Divine language is heard
And as rhema He motivates.

1. Lord, it seems
That I fail and fail again.
I see Your face,
But then the veils return again.
Emotion’s stirred, but there’s no change in me.
I’m living in my soul; I have to learn
A little more, each day, O Lord, to turn.

2. Lord, I know
That I’ve truly seen You, but
The vision fades;
I look away to other things.
Remind me, Lord, reveal Yourself to me,
That from my idols I would be set free.
A little more, each day, I want to see.

3. Lord, my mind
Is occupied with many things--
This thorny age,
With all of its anxieties.
My faith is weak; I’m caught up in my cares.
I need to learn to tell it all to You!
A little more, each day, my mind renew.

4. Lord, my will
Is resistant to Your touch.
Disarm me, Lord;
Don’t let me win against Your grace.
I turn my eyes and see Your patient love--
What can I do but stop and come to You?
A little more, each day, my will subdue.

5. Lord, I pray,
Make me desperate for You.
Keep drawing me
And training me to hear Your voice.
Lord, even though my progress is so slow,
You’re by my side; You will not let me go.
A little more, each day, I’d love You so.
A little more, each day, and I will grow.

A Little More, Each Day (Original)

Hymn #593

1	All I have in Adam is but sin and death,
 	I in Christ inherit life and righteousness;
 	When in flesh abiding, Adam I express,
 	But when in the spirit Christ is manifest.
2	When I am in Adam, though I may not sin,
 	Unto death, a sinner, sentenced I have been;
 	When in Christ I need not righteously to act,
 	I’m already righteous, justified in fact.
3	In the flesh I need no effort to express
 	Marks of Adam’s nature and its sinfulness;
 	In the spirit I need not to strive or strain,
 	I can live as He is and in spirit reign.
4	Thru my death with Christ, from Adam I am free,
 	Thru my life with Christ, new life is giv'n to me!
 	Minding not the flesh, old Adam cannot move,
 	Minding just the spirit, life divine I prove.
5	Minding just the spirit is God’s saving way,
 	Minding just the spirit, Christ we will display;
 	Minding just the spirit, we can overcome,
 	Minding just the spirit, we the race may run.
6	Minding just the spirit, we the cross will know,
 	And His resurrection pow’r thru us will flow;
 	Minding just the spirit, Christ will live thru me,
 	And His life within will reach maturity.
7	In the spirit Christ is life and all to me,
 	Strengthening and blessing all-inclusively;
 	Living in the spirit, holiness I prove,
 	And the triune God within my heart doth move.

All I Have In Adam Is But Sin And Death

C              Am           F          G
The Lord is coming as a thief;
C                     Am F            G
We need more oil every day
            F                                      G
With lamps well-trimmed and fires burning
C                Am
To be qualified
F                                 G
To be stolen by the Lord.

Chorus:
                    C                   Am
Every "today" that we have
    F                              G
Is truly the Lord's grace;
                    C                Am
As long as we have today
              F                                    G
And as long as we still have breath,
                     C           Am
We should love the Lord
         F          G
And His appearing,
     C                       Am
Await the Lord's coming,
          F                                     G           C
And always take it as an encouragement.

2
Lord, we choose to be vitalized
And overcome all that replaces Christ
We'll let the world go and drop all things
Waiting with all our heart,
Watching for Your coming.

3
Make us overcomers, as the high peak,
The center, the strengthening, the uplifting,
The enriching, and reality of the church, the
Holy city,
Lord, to bring You back!

The Bible states clearly and repeatedly that God created us as vessels and that He Himself wants to be our content. Just as a potter has absolute authority over the clay he shapes on his potting wheel, so God as our Potter has absolute authority over us, His creatures (see Jeremiah 18:1-6 and Romans 9:20-23).

When we believe in Christ Jesus, He comes into our human spirit and fills us with Himself. According to 2 Corinthians 4:7, Christ in us is the “treasure in earthen vessels,” and Romans 9:23 says that we are “vessels of mercy.”

We are vessels of mercy not because we sought God or because we are better or try harder than others; we are vessels of mercy because God loved us and chose us, even before the foundation of the world. Romans 9:16 says, “It is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.”

Now, we may be “vessels unto honor” by pursuing Christ with other believers (2 Timothy 2:20-22). May we all pursue Christ to be filled with Him!

The lyrics for this song were taken from ministry materials for a conference on the Old Testament book of Jeremiah given in June 2020.

A Spiritual Vision

God As Our Potter

1.
As the world rushes on,
I’m reminded of Thee.
Though time passes away,
There’s eternity in me.

Now nothing ’neath the sun,
But Thou and Thou alone,
Can satisfy my heart.
Things temp’ral will not do;
I’d things above pursue;
Eternal One, Thou art.

2.
Priceless ’tis, now I see,
To spend time seeking Thee.
Time is precious to me,
Limited in quantity.

Lord, I just want to spend
My time with only Thee,
For Thou art worthy Lord.
I’d every moment seize,
Not one spent without Thee,
But with my love, my Lord.

3.
How can I spend my time
That it’d be valuable,
Thousand-fold multiplied,
Ever our memorial?

I’d rather spend a day,
With Thee and with Thy saints,
Than thousand days away.
One thing, that do I seek,
To dwell within Thy house
Beholding Thee always.

4.
New beginning I ask.
All my heart, capture more;
All my time, spent with Thee;
All my days, on Thee outpoured.

The time, may I redeem,
From many wasted days,
From wand’ring aimlessly.
More time I cannot waste;
Thou long didst wait for me,
To turn my being to Thee.
