A little bird I am,
Shut from the fields of air,
And in my cage I sit and sing
To Him who placed me there;
Well pleased a prisoner to be,
Because, my God, it pleaseth Thee.

The God of the New Testament is personal and experiential; He is "the Father of compassions and God of all comfort" (2 Cor. 1:3-7). 

We collaborated with NYCYPCD to record this album—mostly comprised of our songs but with a few songs by others as well—in the hope that these tracks will minister the one true comfort—the God of all comfort—to those who are passing through the trials, pressures, hardships, and sufferings of human life.

We're happy to have received permission to share these recordings with you!

The Comfort Abounds

Trust And Believe

If The Path I Travel

I love this song! Thank You Lord we are made to be filled with You.

Though the World May Promise Me More

O For A Thousand Tongues (with EM)

Hymn 368 (More love to Thee, O Lord)

1. Jesus Christ is the rock smitten,
Who was struck to save me from sin.
Living water did from him burst,
And streamed forth to allay my thirst.

CHORUS:
He's the rock who's following me!
He just wants me to take a drink.
And now I am never alone!
I'm followed by this living stone.

2. When I'm thirsty to Him I speak,
Then He gives me abundant drink.
As the rock He is standing by,
To flow out to me His supply.

3. So I know wherever I go, 
I can drink His life-giving flow.
He's the rock who's following me, 
Giving His life abundantly. 

4. If deep down you are feeling dry,
There's a way to have His supply—
God wants you to speak to the rock,
All the time in your daily walk.

5. Open your mouth—speak to the Lord!
Then the water will be outpoured.
He's the rock who's following you,
Waiting to give you a drink true.

6. And we know wherever we go,
We can drink His life-giving flow.
He's the rock who's following us, 
Flowing out His life bounteous.

He's The Rock Who's Following Me!

Our burden in offering this CD to the Lord is that, by listening to and enjoying these hymns and spiritual songs, many young people would be encouraged to grow in Christ by establishing a deeper walk with Him.

Growing Up Together In The Lord

1. Simply loving every day;
Loving through a stormy way;
Even when my faith is small,
Loving Jesus, that is all.

Chorus:
Loving as the moments fly,
Loving as the days go by,
Loving Him, whate’er befall, 
Loving Jesus, that is all.

2. Brightly doth His Spirit shine
Into this poor heart of mine;
While He leads I cannot fall,
Loving Jesus, that is all.

3. Singing if my way be clear,
Praying if the path be drear;
If in danger, for Him call,
Loving Jesus, that is all.

4. Loving Him while life shall last,
Loving Him till earth is past,
Till His gracious advent call,
Loving Jesus, that is all.

Simply loving every day

Among all the trees in the garden of Eden, only two are mentioned by name: (1) the tree of life and (2) the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:9). These two trees represent two principles by which a Christian can live: (1) the principle of life and (2) the principle of good and evil.

Eating the tree of the knowledge of good and evil results in death (Genesis 2:17), and the devil is the source of death (Hebrews 2:14). Christ is the source of life (John 11:25, 14:6); He came that we may have life (John 10:10; Colossians 3:4); and He even presented Himself as a vine (John 15:5)—a low-growing, accessible, fruit-bearing tree!

Today, every Christian is like a miniature “garden of Eden.” According to Romans 8:6, our mind is between two choices—just like Adam and Eve in the garden. If we choose to set our mind on the flesh, the result is death. If we choose to set our mind on our human spirit, where Christ dwells (Romans 8:10, 16), the result is life and peace!

Contacting Christ as life in our human spirit is the way to eat Him as the tree of life (John 6:57; Revelation 2:7). At the end of the Bible, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is gone, but the tree of life is an eternal enjoyment to the believers in the New Jerusalem (Revelation 22:14).

This song was written for a youth conference in April 2023. Thanks to the “little lilies” in our local youth group for recording with us!

1. He loved them to the uttermost, 
Those whom the Father chose;
Jesus, our shepherd, friend and Lord,
After the meal, He rose;
He laid aside divinity,
Then girded with humility,
He washed and wiped
this dirty world away.

    Filled with His freshness,
    power and presence,
    Having been washed and filled
    we love as Christ loved us;
    Spiritual energy,
    daily revival,
    Loving the brothers now
    as Christ has first loved us.

2. He loved them to the uttermost,
He washed His loved ones feet,
Produced this pleasant atmosphere
Where all the saints can meet.
His fragrant love has filled the room,
The service of our dear Bridegroom,
Jesus the Savior purifies His bride.

3. He loved them to the uttermost,
His Spirit was poured out;
His living word enlightens us,
Removes all fear and doubt;
The inner law of life dispensed,
Our heart filled in the deepest sense,
Maintains our love
for Jesus and His own.

He Loved Them to the Uttermost

The enjoyment of the Lord when singing alone is rich but not as rich as singing together with the excellent. 

Thank you for the amazing harmonies (@Abelandisaac) ☺️

Lyrics: 
1
Fade, fade each earthly joy;
  Jesus is mine.
Break every tender tie;
  Jesus is mine.
Dark is the wilderness,
Earth has no resting place,
Jesus alone can bless;
  Jesus is mine.

2
Tempt not my soul away;
  Jesus is mine.
Here would I ever stay;
  Jesus is mine.
Perishing things of clay,
Born but for one brief day,
Pass from my heart away;
  Jesus is mine.

3
Farewell, ye dreams of night;
  Jesus is mine.
Lost in this dawning bright;
  Jesus is mine.
All that my soul has tried
Left but a dismal void;
Jesus has satisfied;
  Jesus is mine.

4
Farewell, mortality;
  Jesus is mine.
Welcome, eternity;
  Jesus is mine.
Welcome, O Loved and Blest,
Welcome, sweet scenes of rest,
Welcome, my Savior’s breast;
  Jesus is mine.

Fade, Fade Each Earthly Joy (Alternate)

You will seek me
You will find me
If you search for me 
With all your heart
You will seek me
You will find me
If you search for me
With all your heart

For I know the thoughts
that I think about you
Thoughts of peace and not for evil
to give you a latter end
and a hope declares Jehovah

You Will Seek Me

His Banner over Me is Love

My Lord Jesus, I Come Just As I Am

1. Have you found your human spirit?
It’s connected to your mouth!
“Hallelujah, O Lord Jesus!”
That’s the way to let it out.

CHORUS:
What is born of God is our human spirit—
Praise God, the job has been done!
What is born of Spirit is just our spirit,
And the two spirits are one.

2. Don’t wait for an inspiration—
That’s the subtle enemy.
Open up! Release your spirit,
Testifying you are free.

Have You Found It

Speak to the Rock

Wonderful God-Man / Original (Minoru's Song)

1. God hath not promised skies always blue,
Flower-strewn pathways all our lives through;
God hath not promised sun without rain,
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain.

CHORUS:
But God hath promised strength for the day,
Rest for the labor, light for the way,
Grace for the trials, help from above,
Unfailing sympathy, undying love.

2. God hath not promised we shall not know
Toil and temptation, trouble and woe;
He hath not told us we shall not bear
Many a burden, many a care.

3. God hath not promised smooth roads and wide,
Swift, easy travel, needing no guide;
Never a mountain, rocky and steep,
Never a river, turbid and deep.

Simply loving every day
