Every day there is much work to be done
We are entrusted with the work of the Lord!
We need to do business until He comes,
Bringing in more men and feeding them with His word
Yet each day before we start,
He brings this word up in our hearts:

	First we need to rest, just to lay down,
	This is what God wants, before the work abounds.
	First enjoy the Lord! Just drink Him in.
	Once we're filled with Him—let the work begin.

He ordained our days to start in this way,
We clearly see in the creation of man—
The first day of man was the seventh day,
To enjoy God's presence, ere he worked on the land.
In our time it is the same,
This divine principle remains...

So begin your day reclining on Him,
Enjoying Him as the pleasant pasture land,
Sing until He overflows from the brim,
Flowing out from you to reach whoever's at hand.
If you first behold His face,
Your labor will be done by grace!

First Enjoy The Lord!

Lyrics:
O Lord, how I have fallen because of my great sin
You may have forsaken me but here I am again
Standing on the shoreline right where I did begin
Oh where do I begin again

Casting nets on deep blue seas, my purpose yet unknown
Then light from the heavens came and turned my name to stone
But with all my confidence, to failure I was prone
Oh how could I atone?

Lord, You know; You know I love you though I’m fallen
Lord, You know; when I denied you how my heart had me deceived
Lord, You know; for Your forgiveness now my heart to you is calling
But I know that You still loved me when You called to Your disciples and me
Oh and me
Oh, oh and me

If loving me He suffered, and to the cross was nailed
Would He cease from loving me just because I failed?
In my utter vanquishment, His heart’s love He unveiled
His love for me prevailed

Lord, You know; You know I love you though I’m fallen
Lord, You know; when I denied you how my heart had me deceived
Lord, You know; for Your forgiveness now my heart to you is calling
But I know that You still loved me when You called to Your disciples and me
Oh and me
And me

And Peter

1. Lord, it seems
That I fail and fail again.
I see Your face,
But then the veils return again.
Emotion’s stirred, but there’s no change in me.
I’m living in my soul; I have to learn
A little more, each day, O Lord, to turn.

2. Lord, I know
That I’ve truly seen You, but
The vision fades;
I look away to other things.
Remind me, Lord, reveal Yourself to me,
That from my idols I would be set free.
A little more, each day, I want to see.

3. Lord, my mind
Is occupied with many things--
This thorny age,
With all of its anxieties.
My faith is weak; I’m caught up in my cares.
I need to learn to tell it all to You!
A little more, each day, my mind renew.

4. Lord, my will
Is resistant to Your touch.
Disarm me, Lord;
Don’t let me win against Your grace.
I turn my eyes and see Your patient love--
What can I do but stop and come to You?
A little more, each day, my will subdue.

5. Lord, I pray,
Make me desperate for You.
Keep drawing me
And training me to hear Your voice.
Lord, even though my progress is so slow,
You’re by my side; You will not let me go.
A little more, each day, I’d love You so.
A little more, each day, and I will grow.

A Little More, Each Day (Original)

1. Melt in His presence,
Live before His face;
Drink of His nearness,
Faint in His embrace.
Gaze at His beauty,
Stir upon His sight;
Bathe in His glory,
Bask in His delight.

2. Melt in His presence,
Rest before His feet;
Hide in His bosom,
Fix on His heartbeat;
Yearn for His whisper,
Long for His still voice;
Tune to His senses,
Yield to His best choice.

3. Melt in His presence,
Sink into His Word;
Breathe in His Spirit,
Feast on all His words.
Muse on His speaking,
Read into His thought;
Join to His being,
Share in all His lot.

4. Melt in His presence,
See into His heart;
Take on His burden,
Tend to His dear charge.
Pray with His feeling,
Rhyme with His desire;
Ask with His boldness,
Glow with His own fire.

5. Melt in His presence,
Joy beneath His gaze;
Bless for His wonders,
Praise for all His ways;
Sing of His mercy,
Shout to His true grace;
Wait for His coming,
Watch for His dear trace!

Melt In His Presence / Original (Minoru's Song)

But You, Beloved

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

1. Is it raining, little flower?
Oh, be glad of rain!
Too much sun would wither thee;
Soon ’twill shine again.
Though the sky is black, ’tis true,
Yet behind it shines the blue.
Is it raining, little flower?
Oh, be glad of rain!

2. Art thou weary, tender heart?
Oh, be glad of pain;
Sweetest things in sorrow grow
As the flow’rs in rain.
God is watching, thou’lt have sun
When the clouds their work have done.
Art thou weary, tender heart?
Oh, be glad of pain.

Is It Raining, Little Flower? (Hymn #729) | with Ugo
