Fill me with Thy gracious Spirit,
Fill my longing spirit now;
Fill me with Thy hallowed presence,
Come, dear Lord, and fill me now!

C
Fill me now! Fill me now!
Fill me with Thy Spirit now!
Strip me wholly, empty throughly,
Fill me with Thy Spirit now!

2
Thou can’st fill me with Thy Spirit,
Though I cannot tell Thee how;
But I need Thee, greatly need Thee;
Come, dear Lord, and fill me now!

3
I am weakness, full of weakness;
At Thy sacred feet I bow;
By Thy blest, eternal Spirit,
Fill with strength, and fill me now!

4
Cleanse and comfort, bless and save me;
Fill my broken spirit now!
Thou art comforting and saving,
Thou art sweetly filling now.

Pathways To Life

Treading the Pathways to Life Instrumental

(Written by Jacob Freeman)

Beside Bethesda, here I lay. 
Upon my mat, a man in sin. 
I cannot move; I watch the pool
And hope to walk again. 
Here, waiting for a miracle, 
For thirty-eight long years I’ve stayed. 
Beside this sometimes-stirring pool,
Lame, impotent, I’ve laid. 

You knew my state. In mercy great,
You came to seek me where I lay. 
A plain and lowly man You were
With such a gentle way. 
“Man, do you wish to be made well?”
You asked me, as I turned around. 
Oh, how I’ve longed to hear those words! 
“I do! No help I’ve found. 

I cannot move although I‘ve tried—
To no avail. And though I’ve seen
The water stir and stir again,
I’ve never active been.”
“Arise, take up your mat and walk”
You speak with such authority!
But even more my legs felt strong:
Your word enlivened me. 

No law and no activity; 
No miracle descending down,
No effort I have made has helped. 
I must be mercy shown. 
Oh, Lord! Your kindness, mercy great,
And richest grace You’ve giv’n to me,
Redeeming me and healing me
By hanging on a tree. 

You made me walk! So now my Lord,
I rise to follow after You. 
I run toward You, my Goal, my Prize—
Your gift of grace in view. 
Now, in Your house, I have a place,
And at Your table I enjoy 
Your All-Inclusive richness, Lord
And rest in Your employ.

Beside Bethesda (Lyrics by Jacob)

Lord, these days I feel so restless 
D- A - G
Where I am or where I'm going 
D - A - G  
So I called on Your Name 
A - Bm
I called, "Oh Lord" 
G - A

My comfort, my rest, my enjoyment 
D A Bm G
Away from all chaos, worries and cares
D A Bm G
My heart is at ease and at peace I'm in You
D G A G D 

I have a little to no experience composing a hymn, but tonight as I was listening to a hymn, it felt like I was coming to the Lord after a very long time of being lost in this chaotic world.

Lord, these days

A New Commandment

#323 I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say (New Tune)

1. If you’ve lost all your possessions
And you’re feeling the oppressions,
There’s a gift of grace to you who would believe;
There’s no high requirement from you,
Jesus Christ, Whose blood redeemed you,
Is the One who is forgiveness, just receive!
 	
Chorus:
There’s good news on your horizon—(Shout) Jubilee!
There’s a gospel worth announcin’—(Shout) Just believe!
It’s the word for which you’re waiting,
It’s a gift worth celebrating,
Hear the trumpet, how elating—Be set free....
To enjoy the Lord, receive abundant grace,
Just enjoy the Lord, behold His shining face,
In the Jubilee! Just believe! Be set free!
In the Jubilee!

2. Through Christ’s words of grace and mercy,
There’s no shortage, lack, or worry,
Don’t be bothered, vexed, or feel anxiety;
In the Jubilee of grace where
All our debt has been erased there,
We are happy, joyful, filled with ecstasy!

3. When Christ is our satisfaction
And our one unique attraction,
Christ, the Savior, has become our Jubilee;
Everything is satisfying
When in all Christ is supplying
All the riches found in God’s economy!

Jubilee!!
