“Watch, Be Ready“ is our CD for 2021.  The burden in this CD is to help all of the young people realize that the Lord is coming sooner than we may have thought. And we need to be those who prepare for his coming. So the title song, “Watch, Be Ready” is the theme of these psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. We pray that we will be the generation to bring the Lord back, that we will overcome Satan’s befuddling attacks on our thoughts and be renewed in the spirit of our mind (Eph. 4:22-24).  The Lord needs a group of people who overcome all the lies of this age and give themselves to “hasten" the Lord’s return (2 Peter 3:12).

Watch Be Ready!

It Is Jehovah's Lovingkindness

This hymn conveys our experience that we may not understand why we are passing through trails, disappointments, and persecutions. However, there will be a time when all will be made clear, the time of our Lord Jesus's second coming.

Mephibosheth (SAW)

The Christian life is a life of faith. The object of our faith is the wonderful person, the Lord Jesus Christ and his full and complete salvation. Our “faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the Word of Christ” (Romans 10:17). When we hear the word, something within us rises up to believe what we’ve heard, and spontaneously “the faith” becomes “our faith”.

How Firm a Foundation

But for Me, I Will Wait on Jehovah

Tune: “He loved them to the uttermost” (used with permission, sans chorus)
Isa. 45:15; Rom. 8:28; Phil. 2:13; 2 Sam. 7:25b, 28a; Luke 18:1-8; Matt. 6:6

1.	I have a God who hides Himself,
This One, I know, is the King.
In secret, He is sovereignly
Arranging everything.
This my responsibility—
To say amen to God in me.
He’s living and He’s acting in my being.

2.	I trust the God who hides Himself,
For what He’s spoken He’ll do;
He’s taking care of His elect,
He’s helping me and you.
Although it seems, apparently,
That God’s not doing anything,
He’s faithful to His Word—His Word is true.

3.	I serve the God who hides Himself,
He doesn’t like a display.
Today, He’s working ceaselessly,
But in a secret way.
No ostentation—He’s concealed,
I must know Him as He’s revealed—
Omnipotent and mighty, hidden still.

4.	I love the God who hides Himself,
We meet in secret to pray,
It seems He’s absent, leaving me
A widow in this age.
Compelled to cry out day and night,
I’d always pray, that soon He might
Come find persistent faith on earth in me.

5.	Lord, may I know You as the One
Who's present, loving, and real,
Yet hidden as Your work is done.
Yourself to me reveal
That I would watch and not lose heart
But open wide in every part,
Cooperating with You, Lord, today.

I have a God who hides Himself (Eng)

"Wala Nang Balikan" salin para sa "Not For This World"

Stanza 1:
Dayuhan sa tigang na lupain:
Ang Diyos pala: sa ‘kin may balakin
Sa sanlibutan ako’y Kanyang tatawagin
Do’n sa landas ng pagsampalataya
Lupang Kanyang ‘pinangako,
May tubig ng buhay sa uhaw ko. 

Koro 1:
Dito sa ekklesia!
Nabigo man ako, ibinabalik Mo
Ako’y ‘di sa mundo!
Kundi para sa’yo, Panginoon ko,
Wala nang balikan.
Lunsod aking hantungan,
Walang hanggang kapahingahan!

Stanza 2:
Kahit nandito na sa lupain
Minsan, hindi ko maunawaan
“Panginoon, bakit labis mga pasakit?”
Kamay Ni-ya’y tunay na kanlungan 
Nagniningning Kanyang awa
Kay giliw ng pakikitungo Niya.
 
Koro 2:
Dito sa ekklesia!
I-yong kalooban, ang susundin ko:
Ako’y ’di sa mundo!
‘Pagkat nabubulok ang lumang tao,
Loob, binabago.
Maging hantungan ko,
Walang hanggang Bagong Herusalem!

Stanza 3: 
Habang naglalakbay sa lupain
Panginoon, ako’y palakasin
Walang hanggan: sa paningin, ‘di lilisanin.
Ako’y puno man ng kapighatian,
Ito ay panandalian:
‘Di hihigit sa kal’walhatian.

Koro 3: 
Tayo ang ekklesia!
Inihahandang maging katipan Niya,
Tayo’y di sa mundo!
Ngunit para sa’yo — Sinisinta ko!
Sasalubungin Ka — sa piging na kasalan;
Hantungan ay Bagong Herusalem!

Wala Nang Balikan (Not For This World)

This was quite spontaneous but I made a tune for a few verses that I was memorizing for Tour of a Lifetime Part 30. I've always found singing the verses back to the Lord so enjoyable and I hope others could enjoy it with me!

Lyrics:
(Gen. 17:15)
G                   C
And God said to Abraham
            F                G
As for Sarai your wife
                C                           F
you shall not call her name Sarai
             G                C   F G C
but her name shall be Sarah.

(Gen. 17:16)
               C             
And I will bless her, and 
                 F               G
I will also give you a son by her.
C                  F                              
Indeed, I will bless her, 
        G          C      F    G         C
and she will be a mother of nations; 
F                                                             G
kings of peoples will come forth from her. 

(Gen. 17: 17)
                  F      G                   C
Then Abraham fell upon his face 
                             F     G         C
and laughed and said in his heart, 
           F            G               C                    
Will a child be born to a man
                 Am                   F                                    G  
who(is) a hundred years old? (A hundred years old)
                   F       G                    C
Then Abraham fell upon his face 
                               F     G         C
and laughed and said in his heart,
               F          G         C                  Am              
And will Sarah, who is ninety years old,
           F                      G
bear a child? (Bear a child)

(Gen. 17:19)
                        F           G                  C
But God said, No, but Sarah your wife 
       F      G       C
will bear you a son, 
       F             G          C         Am      F            G       C    
and you shall call his name Isaac; (call him name Isaac)
       F G      C
and I will establish 
       F      G             C
My covenant with him 
            F     G        C      Am
for an everlasting covenant 
F          G                 C
for his seed after him.

God Has a Dream

Until We All Arrive

Those Who Wait (Isaiah 40:31)

But You, Beloved

The Path of the Righteous - Prov. 4:18, Matt. 13:43

Requested by Bands of Love

I.
I'm tired of trying, I can't be still.
And yet Lord, I always fail.
Just like Peter, I'm prone to wander
Not knowing Lord that You are there.

Chorus.
Make me willing to let go
Lord do what You want to do.
Make me willing to let go
And stop me Lord in what I do.

II.
Lord expose me, what I can't be
That You'll become Lord my all to be.
Don't let me stay the same, 
This's my pray'r and aim, 
To have You Lord as my gain.
( Repeat Chorus )

Scripture Ref. Phil.2:13 & Psa.46:10
