2 This time I will not question,
This time I won't go free, 
This time I shall lie quiet,
This time He touches me.

Do, Lord, what You will Freely thus in me Without reservation, All is well with me.

2 Though valleys seem forever, Few hills, yea, far between I ask not for relief from What's measured out to me.

Do, Lord, what You will Freely thus in me Without reservation; All is well with me.

3 I know the way is narrow, The course is long and rough; As long as You are happy, Your smile - it is enough.

Do, Lord, what You will Freely thus in me - Without reservation; All is well with me.

Why Do You Struggle? - Cover

(Us) 
Beneath this mask—this smile I wear—
Which tells the world that I’m okay,
That I am strong and nothing in
My life can drag me down today,
Beneath this mask hides loneliness,
And questions: what is life all for?
And worries and anxieties
Like rain from heaven, pour and pour.

(Christ) 
“Why do you struggle on your own?
Just come to Me, pour out and call,
The feeling of your weaknesses
I’m touched with—yet I conquered all.
As Spirit in your spirit I’m
Contactable, available,
I’ll make more home within your heart,
And heal by life your turbid soul.”

(Us) 
Beneath this mask—this smile I wear—
I am a child longing for
A home where I feel safe and loved,
A people I can call my own,
Beneath this mask—a cry for help,
I’m drifting on a stormy sea,
I’m tossed about from wave to wave,
With no direction how to be.

(Christ) 
Why do you struggle on your own?
I’ll be your Good Samaritan,
I’ll pour the oil and the wine,
I’ll lead you to your home, the inn,
The household of the faith is where,
Your turbid soul will find true rest,
And I too find My resting place,
My Body, where I’m manifest."

Why do you struggle?(cover) / with Bro Ryles

For three days, wandering in Shur,
I found no water.
Oh Lord, what shall I drink?
And then I came to Marah,
Where bitter water flows.
Oh Lord! I’m thirsty—what shall I drink?

Chorus 1:
And Jehovah showed me a tree.
Christ crucified, He cast it into me,
And now my waters are so sweet—
Christ crucified, with healing in His wings.

Verse 2 
I am in the wilderness of Judah.
I found no water.
My God, I thirst for You.
And so I looked upon You in the sanctuary
I see Your power and Your glory!

Chorus 2:
It is Jehovah who heals me!
His words and eyes and life—my reality.
He’s flowing out to me, twelve springs.
To flourishing palm trees, He’s leading me.

Bridge:
I’m rejoicing in satisfaction, 
I’m victorious over tribulation,
For Christ, in resurrection, lives in me!

Chorus 3:
And now I share His death on the tree.
Christ Crucified—I’m crucified with Thee.
And it’s no longer I that live,
But now it’s Christ, with healing in His wings.

Christ Crucified with Healing in His Wings

John 16:22 & 33

If God leads you to walk
A way that you know,
It will not benefit you as much as
If He would lead you to take the way
That you do not know.
This forces you to have
Hundreds and thousands of
Conversations with Him,
Resulting in a journey that is an
Everlasting memorial
Between you and Him.

If God Leads You To Walk A Way

1
Everything seems to be a downward spiral
But I’m on an upward path;
Currents flow against me, still I keep on going.
Wond’ring if I’ll ever last,
“Do not fear”—I hear the voice of my Christ Jesus:
“Just have faith, for I am the Lord.
All will pass, but what you have in you’s eternal.”
So I simply trust His word.

Chorus:
I am not ashamed to be a Christian!
I am not ashamed to love the Lord!
I am not afraid to stand up for Him no matter what I’m told!
The world can’t understand,
But nonetheless I’ll stand;
Fire will only manifest the gold.

2
Though I feel like I’m the only one that’s different
In these cruel, crooked times,
I will be the salt that kills the world’s corruption
And the light that brightly shines.
Lord, it seems like I’m the only one who’s standing;
Could it be, I’m left on my own?
“Worry not for I have set apart a remnant
Who, like you, seek Me alone.”
 
Chorus:
We are not ashamed to be Christians!
We are not ashamed to love the Lord!
We are not afraid to stand up for Him no matter what we’re told;
The world can’t see it now,
But time will tell, somehow
Fire will only manifest the gold!

This Opportunity
I heard this song here on SoundCloud and recorded it with a very talented singer! Thank you, RoPo.

This Opportunity (duet with RoPo)

This hymn was composed during my second term in the training (Malabon) where almost everything's in chaos. My heart was full of anxieties, doubts and fears. Inspite of this, the Lord is still faithful to carry me through.  At first, I don't understand His ways. But later, the Lord showed me Himself. Job 42:5 says, I had heard of You by the hearing of the ear,  But now my eye has seen You.

He is sovereign over all things. Just let everything go, and let the Lord do. He is continually perfecting us, training us wherever we may go. It doesn’t matter where we’d be. His presence is simply enough, and it’s everything to us.

         G                                 D
My heart was filled with sorrow,
                Em.                           Bm
When all anxiety Lord doth flow.
           C.                   G
How could I to distress let go?
                   Am.                    D
There's nothing in my hands can do.
           G.                      D
Do strengthen me, I want to know
                          C.                       G
If this would help me Lord to grow.
                     C.                          G
Lord, my prayer "May Your will be done".
             C.                            D.           G
Your heart's desire and mine be one.


                         G.                               D
Don't let me question now Your ways;
                        Em.                       G
Don't let me speak in my own ways.

There be no question mouth come out;

                           Em.                     G
That blessing poured on me a lot.
                        C.                       G
Lord, may I humble not be proud,
          C.                    D.          G
And let me utter praise aloud.
 
2. Could I Lord to this world enslaved?
Should I still live, just like unsaved?
Why do my heart Lord shaken now?
When thinking things, I'd done O How?
There's no guarantee, O! unsecured
That my enjoyment Lord assured!
Lord, let my first love be recovered,
How I long Lord to be preserved!

I now am strengthened by Your word.
Your mercy ties me like a cord.
It holds me like a band of love,
My eyes set to the things above!
Let me not linger nor return,
But press toward You this my goal.
If by Your radiance I am shown;
Then to this world, no more I'll drawn.
 
 
3. Take me to the place, my heart's desire, 
Where I found You this my cry!
It doesn't matter where I'd be,
Your presence Lord enough for me!
Take me to the path where there is light,
Where there's no darkness in my sight!
May I would live this trained life, Lord;
More of perfecting Lord I longed!


Do perfect me until it's full!
I'll give my heart to You and all.
Let each encourage whom our soul,
Lord, doth afflicted be no more!
"My brothers in the Lord be strong.
Let heart surrounds with joyful song"
And now I let You Lord, take hold,
May each one go, Lord, make us bold!

Longed To Be Perfectly Trained (Original)

This time I will not question,
This time I won’t go free,
This time I shall lie quiet,
This time He touches me.

Do, Lord, what You will
Freely thus in me —
Without reservation;
All is well with me.

2
‘Though valleys seem forever,
Few hills, yea, far between,
I ask not for relief from
What’s measured out to me.

3
I know the way is narrow,
The course is long and rough;
As long as You are happy,
Your smile — it is enough.

This Time I Will Not Question

One of my favorite wedding song! 💖💖

Deep within God's heart, a desire made known.

"It is not good for man to be alone

What life-releasing death!

Christ loved the church

We face decisions every day, big and small, and many times we don’t know which way we should take. Sometimes we find ourselves in unexpected situations—perhaps difficult, painful, or bewildering—things that seem to cast doubt over all our thoughts of the future and leave us fearful, stressed, and anxious.

As believers in Christ, even when we feel like we’re groping in the darkness, we can still look to the Lord Jesus as our way, as our light, and as our supply.

Isaiah 50:10 says, “Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.”

Even more, in John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way and the reality and the life.”

When we don’t know what path to choose, we can cling to Him as our Way. In the words of this song, He is in us, “just waiting for me to say, I love You, Lord.” When we turn to the Lord in this way, He is grace to us and leads us on.
