And let them make a sanctuary for Me

That dream - the God of glory called us
Our life’s direction changed its course
We yielded our whole life upon Him
Ackowledged Him as only source 

Chorus:
Brighter as the days go by with You
Our lives we consecrate to You
We belong with no one else while here on earth
As we’re wander’ng still, sojournings fierce
Lord, supply us with Your grace to live our dream

That dream - to build an altar for Him
Surrender all that we have had
We’d open our lives for His working
We’re through when He becomes our God

That dream - We're here to lead a tent life
All earthly ventures lose its worth
We’re pilgrims set for just one purpose
To gain His riches manifold

That dream - His kingdom age is coming
Our fate - His dwelling place to be
All things mundane we'd leave behind us
On earth we'd never settled be!

Grace to Live our Dream

1 Abraham was called by God 
to go out to a place,
A land where milk and honey flows,
a good and spacious land.
Not knowing where he needs to go,
he just went out by faith
He took God as his living map
and followed all the way.

Chorus 1:
The glory of God 
became a great attraction to him
Each time it appeared
more of God was infused into him
He believed in God's calling
He believed in God's promises
God's word has become
his motive and strength
To go on with God

2 God appeared to Stephen too,
it strengthened him within
He saw the heavens opened up,
behold the Son of Man
Was standing there
at God's right hand
And was greatly concerned
He cares for the persecuted ones
who live by faith to Him.

Chorus 2:
The glory of God
became a great attraction to us
Each time it appears
more of God is infused into us
We believe in God's calling
We believe in God's promises
God's word has become
our motive and strength
To go on with God.

Bridge:
O Lord, do appear to us, (appear to us)
We pray, again and again (again and again)
We need You Lord, to shine upon us
To strengthen us, motivate us
And fill us with Yourself
And may Your glory shine out from us.

Chorus 2:
The glory of God
became a great attraction to us
Each time it appears
more of God is infused into us
We believe in God's calling
We believe in God's promises
God's word has become
our motive and strength
To go on with God.

The Glory of God—A Great Attraction to Us

https://songbase.life/3429

Every day there is much work to be done
We are entrusted with the work of the Lord!
We need to do business until He comes,
Bringing in more men and feeding them with His word
Yet each day before we start,
He brings this word up in our hearts:

	First we need to rest, just to lay down,
	This is what God wants, before the work abounds.
	First enjoy the Lord! Just drink Him in.
	Once we're filled with Him—let the work begin.

He ordained our days to start in this way,
We clearly see in the creation of man—
The first day of man was the seventh day,
To enjoy God's presence, ere he worked on the land.
In our time it is the same,
This divine principle remains...

So begin your day reclining on Him,
Enjoying Him as the pleasant pasture land,
Sing until He overflows from the brim,
Flowing out from you to reach whoever's at hand.
If you first behold His face,
Your labor will be done by grace!

First Enjoy The Lord!

We're the River Crossers

Once I wandered in this vain, decaying, turbulent world 
Finding nothing that gave meaning inside
In that barren land, I long had thirsted 
But I found that nothing satisfy.

Then I saw You, Lord, 
As You revealed Your living water to me
Saying, “Drink and find an endless supply”
And I touched You as the living fountain
As the well that never will run dry.

And now I wander, thirst no longer
Since I called on You and took You as my King
Broken cisterns dry, I leave behind me
For within I have a living spring.

Lord, You came to me; so moved by pity
And You died for me, though lesser than the least
Once a prodigal, now clothed with mercy
So by grace I can enjoy the feast.

2
Now that I have Your regenerating life in me, Lord.
Let me constantly experience You,
O Lord, soften me and keep me open
And now all my fleshly life subdue.

But don't stop there
write your law of life upon my innermost being
And transform me to Your image inside
Build me up within Your glorious Body
Till I meet you as Your longed-for Bride.

And now You draw me with all Your beauty
Mary poured her all and I will do the same
Now I consecrate my life to You, Lord.
And rejoice to suffer for Your name.

Till we’re built into the consummation
New Jerusalem with the life-giving tree
And the river flows through all the City
Gushing up to eternity.

Once I Wandered

Lord You Are the Living Spring

We're back! Kind of.

Just To Behold You - Wobbly Walnuts

"Lord, keep my love burning brightly for You,
A love never dwindling always hot for You,
A love, shining brighter all the way for You,
A love, so fresh like the day I first touched You."

Lord, Keep My Heart Always True To You

Oh Lord I come to know You. To see You face to face.
To hear Your voice so clearly, to feel Your warm embrace.
Have mercy Lord to heal me! I've been blinded by this age.
All self effort and ambition be thoroughly washed away!

Wretched man that I am! How can I be for Thee?
My flesh and my heart faileth, backsliding constantly.
Keep me instantly turning, coming forward to Thy feet.
Not a drop do I deserve, yet again You're flooding me!

     Who are You, Lord Jesus?
     What made You love me?
     Who are You, to make my inward parts spring?
     Not a fantasy
     But reality 
     Is my daily pursuit of Thee!
     Redeeming the time that I myself in You would find!

You have counted all my wanderings. 
Are my tears not in Your book?
My mind too strong. My will too weak. 
So infuse me with one look!
You're my High Priest interceding, moved and touched by every case.
You long to pour into me...
Some could say, "Why such a waste?"

But the word of God is living and operative in me!
Be specific in Your speaking.
Your commandments I would keep.
You're more than able to transform me! 
Mount me up on eagle wings.
My life, my all, my person, this You'd be oh Lord to me!

Who Are You Lord (original)

Lyrics:

1
There may be days when I’m lost and afraid,
And I can’t seem to find my own way;
Weakened with doubts, looking for a way out.
Help me turn to the spirit, call on Your name, and say,
 I love You, Lord.
(You are in me just waiting for me to say)
I love You, Lord.
(You are Love, You are Light, You are the Way.)
Just keep me, Lord.
I’m Yours evermore.

2
You are light in the darkest of night.
In Your Word I have light for the way.
You’re faithful and true. Give me eyes to see You,
To see you in spirit, trust in Your name, and say,
 	I love You, Lord.
(You are in me just waiting for me to say)
I love You, Lord.
(You are Love, You are Light, You are the Way.)
Just keep me, Lord.
I’m Yours.

 [Bridge]
In the darkness I see Your face,
Having peace knowing You are the Way.
Keep my heart ever turned to You
To be walking in spirit, strengthened by Grace to say,
 I love You, Lord.
(You are leading me, keeping my path straight.)
I love You, Lord.
(When I call on You I can trust Your name.)
Just keep me, Lord.
I’m Yours evermore.
