1.
I grew up hearing of You
By the hearing of the—
I grew up hearing of You
By the hearing of the ear,
But now my eye has seen you;
It’s settled, this is it:
I’ve touched reality.
2.
You’ve become lovely to me,
So beautiful and—
You’ve become lovely to me,
So beautiful and sweet.
I’m seeing that One’s majesty.
I never did believe
You could win me like this.
3.
I am so lovely to You,
Beautiful and—
I am so lovely to You,
Beautiful and sweet.
Though I do not know why
You fell in love with me,
How I ravished Your heart.
4.
This is our story of love:
You were all alone;
I, too, needed Someone
To save me from a life
Of sin and misery
Into mutuality:
The romance divine.

I Grew Up Hearing Of You

capo 4 G
1
Not now, but in the coming years,
It may be when with Christ we stand,
We’ll read the meaning of our tears,
And there, sometime, we’ll understand.

 Then trust in God through all thy days;
Fear not, for He doth hold thy hand;
Though dark thy way, still sing and praise,
  Sometime, sometime, we’ll understand.
2
We’ll catch the broken thread again,
And finish what we here began;
God will the mysteries explain,
And then, ah, then, we’ll understand.
3
We’ll know why clouds instead of sun
Were over many a cherished plan;
Why song has ceased when scarce begun;
’Tis then, sometime, we’ll understand.
4
Why what we long for most of all,
Eludes so oft our eager hand;
Why hopes are crushed and castles fall,
Till then, sometime, we’ll understand.
5
God knows the way, He holds the key,
He guides us with unerring hand;
Sometime with tearless eyes we’ll see;
Yes, then, ’tis then, we’ll understand.

Not now, but in the coming years

Revelation 5:5-10

And one of the elders said to me, Do not weep; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so that He may open the scroll and its seven seals. 

And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures and in the midst of the elders a Lamb standing as having just been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. 

And He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sits upon the throne. 

And when He took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell before the Lamb, each having a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which bowls are the prayers of the saints. 

And they sing a new song, saying: You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, for You were slain and have purchased for God by Your blood men out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 

And have made them a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign on the earth.

Hymn #354 - new tune 

Come in, O come! the door stands open now;
I knew Thy voice; Lord Jesus, it was Thou.
The sun has set long since the storms begin;
’Tis time for Thee, my Savior, O come in!

Alas, ill-ordered shows the dreary room;
The household stuff lies heaped amidst the gloom,
The table empty stands, the couch undressed;
Ah, what a welcome for th’ Eternal Guest!

Yet welcome, and tonight; this doleful scene
Is e’en itself my cause to hail Thee in;
This dark confusion e’en at once demands
Thine own bright presence, Lord, and ord’ring hands.

I seek no more to alter things, or mend,
Before the coming of so great a Friend;
All were at best unseemly; and ’twere ill
Beyond all else to keep Thee waiting still.

Come, not to find, but make this troubled heart
A dwelling worthy of Thee as Thou art;
To chase the gloom, the terror, and the sin:
Come, all Thyself, yea come, Lord Jesus, in!

Come In, O Come (Hymn #354)

Lyrics adapted 1 Corinthians 9:24
Tune from Death of the Phone Call by Whatever, Dad
One Lord's day afternoon in 2106 Grace, we were talking about writing hymns and Chris had this nice tune in mind that he wanted to put lyrics to. Well we basically suggested a couple bible verses that might fit the overall mood of the song, and then he fit these lyrics to the song. Well we went down to Melo's room closed the door and recorded the song right then and there. This hymn is just a small simple prayer to the Lord concerning running the race.

Do you not know that those who run

eph. 3:16 "that Christ may make His home in your hearts through faith..."
psa. 45:2, note 1

In my spirit you have giv’n Yourself to me,
Yet imprisoned You’ve remained there patiently.
In your presence, Your fairness I can't help but see
Lord, you’ve drawn me, I open unreservedly.
Saturate all my thoughts, feelings, desires with Yourself, my Lord.
Settle down and possess me fully, my Beloved.
As You knock on each door of my inner being, I now open up.
Lord, I ask You to come make Your home in all of my heart.
