Hymn #824: The Church is Christ's own Body

1
Something every heart is loving:
If not Jesus, none can rest;
Lord, my heart to Thee is given;
Take it, for it loves Thee best.

2
Thus I cast the world behind me;
Jesus most beloved shall be;
Beauteous more than all things beauteous,
He alone is joy to me.

3
Bright with all eternal radiance
Is the glory of Thy face;
Thou art loving, sweet, and tender,
Full of pity, full of grace.

4
When I hated, Thou didst love me,
Shedd’st for me Thy precious blood;
Still Thou lovest, lovest ever,
Shall I not love Thee, my God?

5
Keep my heart still faithful to Thee,
That my earthly life may be
But a shadow to that glory
Of my hidden life in Thee.

Hymn #497: Grace in its highest definition is

I love God because He loved me long before the world began, 
I love God because He knew my destiny 
I love God because He made me part of His eternal plan 
I love God because He first loved me 

Chorus: 
I love Him for all the things He’s done for me 
I love Him for all that He is, all that He is to me 
But most of all, I love Him as the Spirit who deep within my spirit lives 

I love God because He came in time to be the Son of Man 
I love God because He gave Himself for me 
I love God because He conquered death that I might live in Him 
I love God because He first loved me 


I love God because He’s processed now to be my life within 
I love God because He is transforming me 
I love God because He’s building up the New Jerusalem 
I love God because He still loves me 


Personal prayer :) 
I love You for all the things You’ve done for me 
I love You for all that You are, all that You are to me 
But most of all, 
I love You as the Spirit who deep within my spirit lives

I love God because He loved me long before the world began

Music and lyrics by Matthew David Fritz

Oh where were you when I laid out earth’s foundations?
Apprise me of all your thoughts can employ
When morning stars sang together in jubilation
And the sons of God shouted for joy

This is the major revelation
From the beginning of the heavens and the earth we see
Though chaos plagued the old creation
It’s conquered by constructive and divine economy

He Who formed and established earth and made it
Created nothing empty or vain
There’s no one else but the Lord of all creation
And nothing higher than His purpose to attain

This is the major revelation
From the beginning of the heavens and the earth we see
Though chaos plagued the old creation
It’s conquered by constructive and divine economy

Tell me if you know
Oh where were you? Oh where were you? Oh where were you?
Tell me if you know
Oh where were you? Oh where were you?

Tell me if you know
Oh where were you? Oh where were you? Oh where were you?
Tell me if you know.
Oh where were you? Oh where were you?

Where were you when I laid out earth’s foundations?
Apprise me of all your thoughts can employ
When morning stars sang together in jubilation
And the sons of God shouted for joy

God Meant It for Good

Where Were You

Oh pretty girl
What did I do to earn your trust
I never meant to make you cry
What can I do when daylight comes

And you shiver and sway
Like a fighter about to fall
Almost feels like you read my thoughts
But you barely know me at all

’Cause I’m weary of everything
Everything that devotion brings
Open hands the kind of love
You can’t return the same
Late goodbyes in half-lit rooms
Voices fading ringing phones
And worst of all
I can’t watch you walk away

Oh you are not to blame
Wild love’s got a will of its own
You can’t stop it once it moves
You can’t save it if it won’t

’Cause I’m weary of everything
Everything that devotion brings
Open hands the kind of love
You can’t return the same
Late goodbyes in half-lit rooms
Voices fading ringing phones
And worst of all
I can’t watch you walk away
And worst of all
I can’t watch you walk away

DEVOTION  (with Joliz)

Psalm 17:15

Recently (about a couple of months ago) I learnt a new song! What strikes me about the Bible as the word of God is that it isn't merely a book for us to know about God, but even more it is what we live on, and it is our very treasure. This hasn't always been my experience, but little by little, day by day I'm learning to muse upon the living word of God, words which are spirit and are life :)

Below are verses to refer to in relation to this song:

Job 23:12b I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my apportioned food.

Matthew 4:4 But He answered and said, It is written, "Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out through the mouth of God."

John 6:63b ... the words which I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

John 6:51a I am the living bread which came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he shall live forever;

--- Playable with 4 Chords (C-G-Am-F) ---

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

2. Man shall not live by bread alone
But on every word that
Proceeds out through the mouth of God
Out through the mouth of God.

3. You word enlivens
Your word revives
Your words are spirit
Your words are life.

I am the living bread,
Which came down out of heaven,
If anyone,
If anyone eats of this bread
He shall live forever.

4. I've been enlivened
I've been revived
I have the Spirit
I have the life.

I Have Treasured Your Word

1. Hast thou heard Him, seen Him, known Him?
Is not thine a captured heart?
Chief among ten thousand own Him;
Joyful choose the better part.

CHORUS:
Captivated by His beauty,
Worthy tribute haste to bring;
Let His peerless worth constrain thee,
Crown Him now unrivaled King.

2. Idols once they won thee, charmed thee,
Lovely things of time and sense;
Gilded thus does sin disarm thee,
Honeyed lest thou turn thee thence.

3. What has stripped the seeming beauty
From the idols of the earth?
Not a sense of right or duty,
But the sight of peerless worth.

4. Not the crushing of those idols,
With its bitter void and smart;
But the beaming of His beauty,
The unveiling of His heart.

5. Who extinguishes their taper
Till they hail the rising sun?
Who discards the garb of winter
Till the summer has begun?

6. ’Tis that look that melted Peter,
’Tis that face that Stephen saw,
’Tis that heart that wept with Mary,
Can alone from idols draw:

7. Draw and win and fill completely,
Till the cup o’erflow the brim;
What have we to do with idols
Who have companied with Him?
