Ephesians 3:20-21
20  But to Him who is able to do superabundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power which operates in us,
21  To Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus unto all the generations forever and ever. Amen.

But to Him [Reprise] (Ephesians 3:20-21)

Ephesians 3:14-21
14  For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father,
15  Of whom every family in the heavens and on earth is named,
16  That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit into the inner man,
17  That Christ may make His home in your hearts through faith, that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18  May be full of strength to apprehend with all the saints what the breadth and length and height and depth are
19  And to know the knowledge-surpassing love of Christ, that you may be filled unto all the fullness of God.
20  But to Him who is able to do superabundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power which operates in us,
21  To Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus unto all the generations forever and ever. Amen.

I Bow My Knees Unto the Father (Ephesians 3:14,16-21)

Take me, Lord, and fill me with Your dear self
‘til my whole being is one with You
Lord, I’m willing to open to You
Every moment in my life
Fully trusting You
To live Your dream
For Your rest and expression
Beside You, I have no one
In heaven or on the earth
To You, dear Lord, I give my all
I will not let You go
Make Your desire
My heart’s desire
For Your goal, the New Jerusalem.

My only hope is the Lord
Everything depends on Him
Lord, I’ve loved You before
But I know that love is unstable
Set me as a seal on Your heart
Set me as a seal on Your arm
My trust is not in my holding power
But in Your love and strength
In this close, sweet union
I lean on You, my Beloved
Fill my being to express You, Lord
Until You come, my love.

1 Corinthians 2:9-11
9  But as it is written, "Things which eye has not seen and ear has not heard and which have not come up in man's heart; things which God has prepared for those who love Him."
10  But to us God has revealed them through the Spirit, for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God.
11  For who among men knows the things of man, except the spirit of man which is in him? In the same way, the things of God also no one has known except the Spirit of God.

Things which eye has not seen (1 Corinthians 2:9-11)

1 We rest on Thee, our Shield and our Defender;
  We go not forth alone against the foe;
Strong in Thy strength, safe in Thy keeping tender.
  We rest on Thee, and in Thy Name we go. 

2 Yea, in Thy Name, O Captain of salvation!
  In Thy dear Name, all other names above;
Jesus our Righteousness, our sure Foundation,
  Our Prince of glory and our King of love. 

3 We go in faith, our own great weakness feeling,
  And needing more each day Thy grace to know:
Yet from our hearts a song of triumph pealing;
  We rest on Thee, and in Thy Name we go. 

4 We rest on Thee, our Shield and our Defender:
  Thine is the battle, Thine shall be the praise
When reigning in the Kingdom of Thy splendor;
  Victors, we rest with Thee, through endless days.

We Rest on Thee (Hymn 881)

1 Fresh as the dew of the morning,
  Bringing a sweet rest unheard,
Christ, in the gentle anointing,
  Whispers His comforting word:
Stand till the trial is over,
  Stand till the tempest is gone,
Stand for the glory of Jesus,
  Stand till the kingdom is won.

   (chorus)
   Lord of all hope,
   O how sweet is Thy voice,
   Making my heart
   In Thy presence rejoice. 

2 If in the test of my trouble,
  Faint be my spirit and heart,
Faith, with the star of hope glimm’ring,
  Shall all be taken apart,
May then Thy faith with Thy life-pow’r
  Over me hold its full sway
That all Thy riches of glory
  Now I may share and for aye. 

3 Lord, as the morning sun dawning,
  Chase all my darkness away,
And with Thy kind wings of healing
  Turn all my night into day.
Come Thou, O come, Lord of comfort,
  Come to my sad, weary heart,
Come, O Thou blest hope of glory,
  Never, O never depart.

Fresh As the Dew (Hymn 708-Alternate Tune)

1 My heart longs for absolute surrender
That I'd wholly consecrated be
Not in word alone but all my being
Would be fully given unto Thee

2 There is little willingness within me
To place all I am before Thy feet
So I lay my hands on Thy dear head, Lord
As the burnt off'ring, perfect, complete.

3 Lord, You are the only One who offered
Yourself without reluctance unto God
Full obedience to the Father given
Absolute, You sacrificed Your all.

4 As this One, You’re dwelling in my spirit
Moving, spreading outward day by day
There's a whisper of Amen within me
In response to all that You would say.

5 I say Yes and give You full permission
To touch every corner of my heart
Break through all the barriers in my being
Do not let me withhold any part.

6 'Tis my joy to give You all the ground, Lord,
Make my heart a dwelling place for You
I want You to be at home within me
Come and settle down in every room.

7 Lord, do cleanse my heart from all self-seeking
That I'd truly want nothing but Thee
Let my soul be occupied, possessed, Lord.
That You would be magnified in me

Consecration

I love You, Lord
With all my heart
Not with just a part
But with all of my heart
I love You, Lord
With all my heart
The Lord is making home in all my heart

The Lord is making home in my heart
The Lord is making home in my heart
Lord I let You in
So You can begin to make
Your home in my heart.

I Love You, Lord

Psalm 100
1  Make a joyful noise to Jehovah, all the earth.
2  Serve Jehovah with rejoicing; Come before His presence with joyful singing.
3  Know that it is Jehovah who is God; It is He who has made us and not we ourselves. We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
4  Enter His gates with thanksgiving, His courts with praise; Give thanks to Him; bless His name.
5  For Jehovah is good; His lovingkindness is forever, And His faithfulness is to all generations.

All ye, all ye lands.
Serve the Lord, the Lord with gladness,
Come before His presence with singing.

And not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.

And into His courts with praise;

And bless, and bless His name.

Endureth to all generations.

Make a Joyful Noise (Psalm 100)

1 Since Christ my soul from sin set free,
This life has been a joy to me;
And ’mid earth’s sorrows and its woe,
’Tis joy my Jesus here to know.

   (chorus)
   O hallelujah, yes, ’tis joy!
   For it is Christ that I enjoy!
   On land or sea, what matters where?
   Where Jesus is, my joy is there.

2 The earth was once a bitter place
Till Jesus showed His smiling face;
Now joy’s begun within my soul,
’Twill last while endless ages roll. 

3 What matters where on earth we dwell?
On mountain top, or in the dell,
In cottage, or a mansion fair,
Where Jesus is, my joy is there.

Where Jesus is, My Joy is There (Hymn 348)

2 Corintians 3:18  But we all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting like a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord Spirit.

But We All With Unveiled Face (2 Corinthians 3:18)

Revelation 7:14-17
14  And I said to him, My lord, you know. And he said to me, These are those who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
15  Because of this they are before the throne of God and serve Him day and night in His temple; and He who sits upon the throne will tabernacle over them.
16  They will not hunger any more, neither will they thirst any more, neither will the sun beat upon them, nor any heat;
17  For the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and guide them to springs of waters of life; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

And I Said to Him (Revelation 7:14-17)

Little by little, day by day, here a little there a little, morning by morning, from strength to strength, grace upon grace, and from glory to glory, it is a blessing to be satisfied with ordinary days in the divine dispensing!

1 Little by little,
   The Lord is cutting off all our natural life;
   As we grow in Him,
   He replaces us with more of His life divine.

     (Chorus)
     It is our destiny,
     To live a normal life in the divine dispensing,
     It is a blessing,
     To be satisfied with ordinary days in the divine dispensing.

2 Day by day,
   Our inward parts are being renewed by the Lord;
   Every day,
   Fresh and rich supply to us He does afford.

3 Here a little,
   And there a little, Christ reveals Himself to us;
   When we read His word,
   We are satisfied and we enjoy Him thus.

4 Morning by morning,
   Jehovah He is faithful to awaken us;
   He instructs our ears,
   With just a word, the weary to sustain we must.

5 From strength to strength,
   We're on the highways to enter into our God;
   Though Satan opposes,
   We are strengthened to lay hold of more of God.

6 Grace upon grace,
   The Triune God is processed for us to enjoy;
   The law is over,
   Now we can partake of His supply through grace.

7 From glory to glory,
   We are in the process of being transformed;
   Beholding, reflecting,
   To God's image with all saints we'll be conformed.

Ordinary Days

1 Nothing between my soul and the Savior,
Naught of this world’s delusive dream;
I have renounced all sinful pleasure;
Jesus is mine, there’s nothing between.

  (chorus)
  Nothing between my soul and the Savior,
  So that His blessed face may be seen;
  Nothing preventing the least of His favor,
  Keep the way clear! Let nothing between. 

2 Nothing between, like worldly pleasure;
Habits of life, though harmless they seem,
Must not my heart from Him e’er sever;
He is my all, there’s nothing between. 

3 Nothing between, like pride or station;
Self-life or friends shall not intervene;
Though it may cost me much tribulation,
I am resolved; there’s nothing between. 

4 Nothing between, e’en many hard trials,
Though the whole world against me convene;
Watching with prayer and much self-denial,
I’ll triumph at last, with nothing between.

Nothing Between (Hymn 372-Alternate Tune)

Isaiah 61:1-3
1  The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon Me, Because Jehovah has anointed Me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent Me to bind up the wounds of the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the eyes to those who are bound;
2  To proclaim the acceptable year of Jehovah And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn;
3  To grant to those who mourn in Zion, To give to them a headdress instead of ashes, The oil of gladness instead of mourning, The mantle of praise instead of a spirit of heaviness; That they may be called the terebinths of righteousness, The planting of Jehovah, that He may be glorified.

The Spirit of the Lord (Isaiah 61:1-3)

Galatians 3:14 & 16
14  In order that the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
16  But to Abraham were the promises spoken and to his seed. He does not say, "And to the seeds," as concerning many, but as concerning one: "And to your seed," who is Christ.

In Order That the Blessing (Galatians 3:14,16)

Psalm 16:1-3
1  Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You.
2  I say to Jehovah, You are my Lord; No good have I beyond You;
3  As for the saints who are on the earth, they are the excellent; All my delight is in them.
