Pursue Him

Mary Poured Out Her Love Offering

Matt. 13:45-46, Eph. 5:25

    G                           Em
The kingdom of the heavens is a merchant
C                            D
Seeking finest pearls in the world
  G                                 Em
A single pearl He found of greatest value.
   C                D
He sold His all and bought it.

Em     D         G
Christ loved the church
C                     D
He paid the price for her.
   Em        D      G
He knows her all-surpassing worth
    C             D
And I too give my all
            G
To gain His pearl

2. A pearl is something transformed in death waters,
Not something created by God.
The church is nothing natural, but she’s processed
Through death and resurrection.

3. Once just a little rock or grain of sand, we
Wounded Christ who died on the cross.
Our sinner-loving Savior, He embraced us—
Secreted life around us.

4. Although we wound the Savior, never leave Him.
In His wound remain, make your home.
He’ll keep dispensing resurrection into us,
Transform us to His treasure.

To Gain His Pearl

Fill my cup, Lord

The Arrows Flew Into My Heart

The love of Christ is now constraining me!!

What made you, Lord, to die for me?!

Christ is the hope of glory! (He comes!)

First Love

Jesus, Lord You're Our First Love

as the hart pants (psalms 42:1-2)

1
Once bound by self I lived to me,
Peculiar and set, independently;
Unbuildable, no preciousness,
Just earthen and dross, heap of worthlessness.
Then light shined penetratingly
True condition exposed entirely.
Abhoring self, my desp’rate plea:
Strip me thoroughly, Lord; from self set free.
 	
Lo, the God of glory
Has appeared and called me
To a glorious calling,
Though I was unworthy.
Lord, now for the building
Make me more than willing,
Open for Your mingling,
My all on the altar to bring.

2
His sov’reign mercy made me see
The only way in God’s economy—
The cross applied effectually;
What I am and can do must all desist.
My person of whate’er repute,
My devices, must not Christ substitute.
The center of my universe—
The all-op’rative cross; let Christ be first.
 	
Lo, the God of glory
Has appeared and called me
To a glorious calling,
Though I was unworthy.
Lord, now for the building
Make me more than willing,
Open for Your mingling,
My all on the altar to bring.

3
Now here we are, called on to build.
As members of Christ, we are richly filled.
As He increases, we decrease;
The one new man wondrously comes to be.
Our inward being we open wide,
Let the Spirit transform and occupy;
Soak, saturate, with Christ inwrought,
Till from glory to glory we are brought.
 	
Lo, the God of glory
Has appeared and called us
To a glorious calling,
Though we were unworthy.
Lord, now for the building
Make us more than willing,
Open for Your mingling,
Our all on the altar to bring.

4
Laid hold by vision of His house,
We build earnestly, from indiff’rence roused.
Although the world thinks us but fools,
To God, we’re exceedingly precious jewels.
Our eyes behold eternity,
Glorious destiny seen transparently.
Arise! Make haste this age to turn
That the glory longed for may soon return!

 Oh, what glorious vision!
God’s will and intention—
The return of glory
To His house effulgently.
Let this vision seize us,
Measure, judge, possess us,
Till we’re built up; come, dear Lord,
Fill Your house with glory once more!

The Return of God's Glory to the House of God FT4

My Lord Jesus, I Come Just As I Am

I love Thee, Jesus

Thou Sweet Beloved Will of God (#617)

Recorded over this spring term with 10 sisters as a gift to our FTTA graduating class of spring 2019.

Immersed in Thy love

1
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!

Every "today" that we have

I have treasured Your word
More than my daily bread,
I have treasured Your word
More than my daily bread.

Man shall not live on bread alone,
But on every word that
Proceeds out through the mouth of God,
Out through the mouth of God.
 	
Your word enlivens,
Your word revives,
Your words are Spirit,
Your words are life.

i have treasured Your word
