Capo 2 (D)

1
Jehovah’s habitation isn’t made with hands
His eternal longing is to dwell in man.
His footstool is the earth,
The heavens are His throne,
But the place He’s chosen,
The human spirit, is His home!

Christ lives inside my spirit  
Supplying me with grace
He wants to spend His time with me
Beholding face to face -  
I shouldn’t merely touch Him 
And then just walk away
But in my spirit stay and linger
All throughout the day!

2
The Holy of Holies is the place where man
Communicates with God and is infused with
Him, 
Not in the Outer Court
Beyond the Holy Place
We must go further to behold
The glorious shining of His face!

3
Now Jesus lives inside us so we all must take 
Him daily as our fortress and our hiding place 
He’s being built in us
We’re being built in Him
A mutual habitation
For all eternity, AMEN!

Nearer Each Day

Everybody Ought to Know

No One Knows x

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

主耶穌我羨慕活在你面前/Lord Jesus, I Long In Thy Presence to Live 詩歌290

O How Deep and How Far Reaching

1	Since long ago at Bethany we parted,
 	Within my heart there is a ceaseless void;
 	How can I take my harp down from the willow?
 	How can my songs without Thee be enjoyed?
 	And when at night I’m keeping lonely vigil-
 	Grown numb alike to sorrow and to cheer-
 	Then I recall the promise of Thy coming,
 	But sigh: O Lord, why, why Thou dost not yet appear?
2	Thy manger wakes the thought: I too am homeless;
 	Thy cross strips earthly pleasures from my soul;
 	Thy coming bids me seek a better country,
 	For Thou Thyself art now my final goal.
 	Since Thou art gone my joy has lost its flavor,
 	My song the sweetness I would fain convey.
 	Since Thou art gone the sense of void o’erwhelms me.
 	Oh, how I long that Thou wilt come and not delay.
3	Though even now I know Thy loving presence,
 	Yet in my heart there’s still a sense of lack.
 	Enlightening and tenderest sustaining
 	Can no more satisfy: I want Thee back.
 	Despite Thy peace within, I still feel lonely;
 	Despite Thy joy there still remains a sigh;
 	When I feel most content, the silent yearning
 	To see Thee face to face becomes an uttered cry.
4	What exile cannot but desire his homeland
 	And long his people once again to greet?
 	What soul on alien soil forgets his kindred?
 	What parted lovers never yearn to meet?
 	O Lord, how can these earthly loves and pleasures
 	With all the joy of Thy return compare?
 	Then, if I cannot here behold Thy countenance,
 	What can I do but sigh till Thou, my Lord, appear?
5	Could’st Thou, O Lord, forget Thy word of promise
 	Soon to return and take me unto Thee?
 	Yet day by day and year by year I’ve waited
 	And still I wait, and no return I see!
 	Remember, Lord, the years I have been waiting
 	While Thy dear footsteps linger far away.
 	How long? How long? Oh! must I wait still longer
 	Till Thou shalt come again in glorious array?
6	From generation unto generation
 	Thy saints have come and gone, but have not seen
 	Thy glorious promise pass into fulfilment.
 	How long, how very long the time has been!
 	Why cannot we, dear Lord, discern Thy footsteps?
 	Why are the heavens still so closely sealed?
 	Oh! must our waiting be prolonged still further
 	Before Thou in Thy matchless splendor art revealed?
7	Lord, I recall the many years I’ve waited
 	For Thy return-yet, Lord, not I alone,
 	But Thy dear saints through many generations-
 	Beseeching Thee to come back for Thine own.
 	To countless tears and countless fervent pleadings,
 	By Thine appearing haste to make reply.
 	Oh, may Thou come, the echo of the ages,
 	Come, come and answer now this mighty corp’rate cry!
