Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art,
Thou hast fully captured my heart;
None compares with Thee, none on earth or heav’n,
God yet man, most beautiful One!
How I longed to vanish in Thee
When Thy tender voice came to me.
All past loves forsaking most joyfully,
I’d just love Thee — wholeheartedly.
 	
Chorus:
Who in all the world is as fair as Thee?
Or who else can love so romantic’ly?
Oh, most holy One, now You live in me!
Jesus Lord, I deeply love Thee!
No more trusting self, nor deceived I’d be;
I’d put off my self, just be filled with Thee;
Oh, let all apart from Thee fade and flee;
My one love, my best love, is Thee.

Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art;
I was once rebellious and hard,
But I drop it all now to come to Thee,
Self forsake, that like Thee I’d be.
When I live, be it Thou, I pray,
Not self’s will, but God’s I’d obey;
To Thine heart attuned, Thy delight I’d seek;
No more struggling, fully at peace.

Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art;
We two never, ever will part;
Thy dear presence is all my breath and might;
Thy dear smile is all my delight.
I would pour my heart out to Thee,
Love Thee, serve Thee, joined utterly;
My eternal portion, dear Lord, is Thee;
My one hope, Thy coming to see.

Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art (w/Living Stone)

I Have An Excuse!

God My Exceeding Joy [시 43:3-4]

Bit by bit, little by little
I’m gonna love the Lord
Day by day, little by little
I’m gonna grow some more

1
He has changed my heart of stone to flesh
He has given me new life
Through His words of life our spots removed
By giving us His life, we’re gonna be His wife

2
I have died with Him and raised again
He has changed my old to new
We are being built, this new abode,
A home of me and you, divine and human too

Bit by Bit, Little by Little

有時偶是青天

주의 말씀들이 내 입맛에 달콤해

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

My Solomon (1:1-2)
You’re so affectionate
Draw me to Yourself
With the kisses of – Your mouth.

Dearest King (1:3-4)
The virgins all love you
But I’ve been brought forth
To enter in Your chambers now.

Fairest one (1:5)
I’m black in my own eyes
But comely in Your sight
Why, I’ll never understand.

You’re a cluster of henna flowers to me
Blooming in the vineyards of Engedi.

My Shulammite (1:1)
This is the Song of Songs
Which belongs to Me
I share it all with you – So come away now!

Country girl (1:9)
Fairest of the fair
My intimate friend
You know what’s in my heart.

Little mare (1:11)
We’ve worked in you crown
Lovely golden braids
Filled with studs of silver.

You’re a flower among thorns to Me
Among the daughters you are My lily.

(Bridge)
So as the winter trials start,
And when idleness frosts my heart
My beloved says to me,
Come away
I’ll come away.

My belov’d (1:13)
Hold me in your arms
Lie between my breasts
You’re beautiful my love.

O My dove (1:15-16)
You’re beautiful to Me!
Oh, you are beautiful!
Beautiful, indeed.

Mingled now (1:16-17)
Indeed our bed is green
We’ve found our place of rest
Our mutual abode.

Here I always will give you my love (7:12)
O come quickly, make haste my belov’d. (8:14)

Come Forward to God

My Solomon

1
Seek ye the Lord all ye people,
Turn to Him while He is near,
Let the wicked forsake his own way,
And call on Him while He may hear.
Ho, everyone who is thirsty,
Come to the waters of life,
Come and drink of the milk and the wine,
Come without money and price.
 
C
And there is peace like a river,
And glory divine,
If you’ll come to the water,
If you’ll taste of His wine,
There is love ever flowing,
And joy ever full,
And there’s life everlasting
For us all.

2
For you shall go out in joy,
And be led forth in peace.
The mountains and hills before you shall sing,
And the trees of the fields clap their hands.
Instead of the thorns shall come cypress,
And myrtle replace every brier,
And it shall be to remember the Lord,
And everlasting sign.

Peace Like a River

Saltwater Taffy

Jesus Lord, I love You.
Nothing more do I want.
Nothing in this whole world
Satisfies as You do, Lord.
Though I wander away,
Still Your love seeks after me,
Reaching me; I’m subdued
And I turn back to You.
