Chorus:
He who loves father or mother above Me
Is not worthy of Me, is not worthy of Me
And he who loves son or daughter above Me
Is not worthy of Me, is not worthy of Me
And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me
Is not worthy of Me
He who finds his soul-life shall lose it, and he who loses his soul-life for My sake shall find it

Verses:
To realize and participate in the deep and hidden things
God has ordained and prepared for us
requires us not only to believe in Him
but also to love Him
To fear God, to worship God, and to believe in God
(that is, to receive God)
are all inadequate; to love Him is the indispensable requirement

To love God means to set our entire being - spirit, soul, and body
with the heart, soul, mind, and strength - absolutely on Him
that is, to let our entire being
be occupied by Him and lost in Him, so that He becomes
so that He becomes
Becomes everything to us and we are one with Him
practically in our daily life

In this way we have the closest and most intimate
Closest and most intimate fellowship with God
and we are able to enter into His heart
and apprehend all its secrets.
Thus we not only realize but also experience,
but also experience
Experience, enjoy, and fully participate
In these deep and hidden things of God

Worthy Of Me

1. 
So oft' it seems that You're not there
Why won't You hear my cry?
Year after year I pour out My soul 
Awaiting Your reply.

2. 
Weakness and barrenness within,
Persecutions without.
Lord, can't You see my pitiful state?
I'm pressed with no way out!

3. 
I'm tired of praying in pretense!
This charade I condemn!
Now I lay bare what's deep in my heart
And come just as I am!

4. 
I see the resurrected Christ,
Who bore all on the tree.
And though my circumstances remain,
My bitter's changed to sweet!

5.
Our genuine prayer is all You need
For Your move to proceed.
Our struggling to give birth will produce
The man-child that You need!

6.
Soon You will come to rule as King.
Yes Lord, for this we yearn!
And while we still travail in birth,
We hasten Your return!

Travail In Birth

Verse 1:
Precious moments / In Your presence! / You're the ever-present Lord on whom I call! Time allotted /To soak in Your essence / If I miss today, I miss it all!

Bridge:
Today / I hear Your voice and / I soften my heart, / I exercise faith / so I can enter into Your rest!

Verse 2:
All I need / is just You, Lord, / Since I've found that nothing compares to this taste!
My objective / Is just to absorb You. / All I want is the treasure of Your face!

Middle-8:
Now I choose to rest from all my striving / And give the Lord the first place in all of my heart!
Forget yesterday! Forget tomorrow! / I claim right now as an eternal memorial!

Precious Moments (Demo)

Lyrics:

What's the unique remedy to solve all of the problems in the church? What is the key? / How can we be freed from all our soulish, fleshly, and divisive ways? How can this be?

1 Corinthians reveals the way / It is to enjoy the Lord today!

Chorus: The way to enjoy the Lord is to love Him / and to love one another / May the Lord recover such an excellent love / for the building up of His Body!

God is faithful to call us so we can partake of the fellowship / of His Son / Christ is the unique person and His cross is the unique way for everyone!

Every barrier has been annulled! / Now we're free to just enjoy the Lord!

Chorus: The way to enjoy the Lord is to love Him / and to love one another / May the Lord recover such an excellent love / for the building up of His Body!

What's the unique remedy?

Dearest Lord, I must advance!

The first in many short Scripture songs that I will write, perform, and upload! I hope that all of God's chosen people would enter the practice of letting Christ dwell in them richly through singing the Word of God!

"But You Are Holy" (Psalms 22 - 3 & 106 - 12)

Sometimes as Christians it's easy to forget to turn to the Lord. We forget that we need to depend on Him day by day, moment by moment, even year by year! 

Here's a simple song that me and a bunch of fellow Christians wrote at a summer gathering. Song credits go to Moriah Lim. 

Lyrics: 

Lord, day by day, I come to You (8)
I turn my heart to You right now (8)
Lord, wash me in Your precious blood (8)
I give myself to You. (6)
Lord, by Your mercy I’m eating You (9)
By Your bread I get through (6)
Eating Your word is enjoyable (9)
It fills my spirit up. (6)

Lord, breath by breath, I call on You
Your name supplies and soothes my soul
Lord, draw me to my spirit now
Let me abide in You.
Lord, every moment, I drink of You,
It’s Your life that renews
Your Spirit flows in and fills each part
‘Til I’m just soaked with You.

Lord, year by year, I grow in You
I’m rooted, grounded in Your love
Lord, make Your home in all my heart
Transform and fill each part.
Grant me the grace to flee and pursue,
With all those who love You.
Knit us together and build us up
To be Your church, Your bride.

Lord, Day by Day

Many times in our Christian lives we feel so down and oppressed, and we feel there is no way to go on. In moments like those all we can do is just call on the Lord's Name, and we feel that even in our lowest moments He saves us!

Lyrics:

(Progression: C# - A#m - D#m - G#)


Call His name, Lord Jesus
Breathe out what troubles you and breathe Him in


(Lamentations 3:56)

You have heard my voice; do not hide Your ear at my breathing, at my cry


In rough situations we pour out lamentations
(pause) But through the generations we will shout exclamations



(Romans 10:13)

For whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved


(Psalms 116:13)

I will take the cup of salvation and call upon the name of the Lord
Calling on the name of the Lord


O Lord Jesus! How I love to call upon Your Name!
Lord Jesus! Jesus dearest Lord!

Call His Name

Lyrics:

Lord, thank You for a new day for me to take You as Lord.
I subject myself under Your headship for the whole day.
Lord, set up Your throne in my life, Set up
Your throne at the center of my being.
Bring my whole day with my daily life
Under Your throne.

Lord, set up Your throne in my life, Set up
Your throne at the center of my being.
Bring my whole day with my daily life
Under Your throne.

Lord, Thank You For A New Day

Fear not, He knows;
My soul why fret and tremble?
Fear not, He knows;
Your life is in His hands.
Fear not, He knows;
And you know He is able
To care for You,
So trust the best is planned!
 	
Chorus:
Oh Lord, You know;
’Tis a thought so joyous!
Though I don’t know,
What need have I to fear?
You know, You know;
Thank and praise You, Jesus!
Through all unknowns,
You make Yourself so dear!

Just trust, He knows
Life’s still unwritten letter.
Just trust, He knows
Plans time would now disguise.
Just trust, He knows,
He sees which turn is better;
At the right time
He’ll open up your eyes!

Just rest, He knows;
With Him blindness is pleasant!
Just rest, He knows;
Sightless, you see Him best!
Just rest, He knows;
My soul, don’t waste the present
On those “what-if’s“.
Just turn to Him and rest!

Just seek, He knows;
Seek first His heart’s great yearning.
Just seek, He knows;
Serve Him, in Him abide.
Just seek, He knows;
Have peace and rest while turning.
Put His cares first;
All else He will provide.

He Knows, He Knows

The Lord Jesus clearly states in Revelation 16:15 that He is "coming like a thief". We have no idea what day or month or year the Lord is coming back; all we know is that He is coming to "steal away" those He sees as precious, like Daniel. Therefore, it's our responsibility as believers to redeem every waking-moment of our lives and offer Him the full cooperation.

This song is also on hymnal.net (https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/ns/768)

Steal Me Away

This is a song that is really just a common prayer of mine put to a tune. Eventually we will all come to the point when we realize that there is no one we can truly depend on Christ alone. We need to stand on the divine facts and accomplishments and we need to stop putting our trust in things that will soon pass away.
