1
I thank Thee, Lord, that Thou hast shown,
  And I begin to see,
What Thou canst be to all Thine own,
  What they may be to Thee;
If only they will yield Thee all,
And trustingly obey Thy call.

2
How wonderful! I never knew
  That I might trust Thee so;
That Thou wouldst be so much to me.
  In all the way I go,
That every need Thou wouldst supply.
And all my longings satisfy.

3
I take Thee as my keeper now
  And I commit to Thee
My soul, my way, my works, my cause.
  In Thy sole charge to be;
And my deposit, Thou, I know
Wilt guard secure from every foe.

4
I take Thee for my peace, O Lord.
  My heart to keep and fill
Thine own great calm, amid earth’s storms
  Shall keep me always still;
And as Thy kingdom doth increase,
So shall Thine ever-deep’ning peace.

5
I take Thee as my wisdom too
  For wisdom’s sum Thou art;
Thou, who dost choose the foolish things.
  Set me henceforth apart,
That I may speak and work for Thee
As Thou shalt work and speak in me.

I thank Thee, Lord (hymn 521, new tune)

Loved with Everlasting Love

Your Face Melts Me

Lord, I open to You;
Align my view with You.
Transcend me from earthly ties
That keeps me from seeing You.

Lord, I open my heart
Make Your home my inward parts.
Keep flowing in me as grace;
I'll rest now in Your warm embrace.

	Lord no matter the cost I'll follow You,
	For I've seen how precious You are.
	When I call on Your name You fill me up
	With Your life and peace and love!
	Fairest of the fair,
	Keep attracting me.
	Not I but Your grace, love, and mercy—
	Lord, I am here.

Lord, I lean onto You.
I cannot live without You.
You are the air that I breathe,
Your words are my everything.

Lord, I look unto You
You are wonderful, beautiful!
Be enthroned in my heart as King;
Reigning in all my inmost being!

	Lord no matter the cost I'll just love You,
	For I've known how worthy You are.
	When I pour out to You, You fill me up
	With all the riches of Christ!
	O King of kings,
	Keep gaining me.
	Not I but Your grace, love, and mercy—
	Lord, keep me here.

Lord, I give You my heart.
Every beat is for You my love.
Keep drawing me day by day;
Abiding in Your love all the way.

Lord, I just love You,
I give my all to You.
Keep me faithful in what I've seen
Oh kiss away all doubts and fear!

	Lord no matter the cost I will love You,
	For You've kissed me with unrivaled love.
	When I say, "I love You," You fill me up
	With more of Your cheering love!
	My Song of Songs,
	I'm Yours alone.
	Not I but Your grace, love, and mercy—
	Lord, I love You.

Lord, I Open to You

Thy Name Is As Ointment Poured Forth

I'm Pressing on the Upward Way #396

Cover of "Get Me Away From Here, I’m Dying" by Belle and Sebastian.
Everything in this track is produced by me, there are no samples.

Lyrics:
Oh, get me away from here, I'm dying
Play me a song to set me free
Nobody writes them like they used to
So it may as well be me

Here on my own now after hours
Here on my own now on a bus
Think of it this way
You could either be successful or be us
With our winning smiles, and us
With our catchy tunes or worse
Now we're photogenic, you know
We don't stand a chance

Oh, I'll settle down with some old story
About a boy who's just like me
Thought there was love in everything and everyone
You're so naive

They always reach a sorry ending
They always get it in the end
Still it was worth it as I turned the pages
Solemnly, and then
With a winning smile, the boy
With naivety succeeds
At the final moment, I cried
I always cry at endings
I always cry at endings

Oh, that wasn't what I meant to say at all
From where I'm sitting, rain
Falling against the lonely tenement
Has set my mind to wander
Into the windows of my lovers
They never know unless I write
"This is no declaration
I just thought I'd let you know, goodbye"
Said the hero in the story
"It is mightier than swords
I could kill you sure
But I could only make you cry with these words"
Cry with these words
Cry with these words
Get me away, I'm dying
Get me away, I'm dying
Get me away, I'm dying
Oh, I'm dying
Oh, I'm dying
Oh, I'm dying
