Howard Higashi What About My Sinful Past Hymn Church Life Lo

Im standing on ocean of happiness 
I cannot baptize myself in 
As darkness descends 
I try to spread my wings 
Like a bat 
Scooping his neck back 
We call him night flyer 
Girl you are to me what a woman should be 
Time is a fragile flame 
As it crumbles in my hand 
And passes quickly to the ground
A new life is born 
The growth of time in memorial may be a new life hereafter 
I dedicate this song to that girl called joy
That I will never meet 
Even though I pray to the bottom of my heart that I will find joy I look into the mirror and only see sadness 
But slowly as the webs clear up arises the phoenix to rise again in richness and in triumph

The Time of Singing Has Come

Time of Love

Book: God's Need and God's Goal
Chapter: Failures Enabling Man to Enjoy more of God

Blessed are those of fail
Blessed are those who fall
This is God's sovereign way
That He would become our all
Through failure we can know God
Experience and enjoy him

Thank You Lord that You
Allow me to fail
I was dead but now I live
Praise You for not always letting me prevail
Though my heart be broken, 
My spirit be broken,
Make these failures precious and sweet to me

As the younger son
I was lost but found again
As the Father, You
Waited for me to return
Together we’re rejoicing
Your riches and love now reach me

Blessed are Those Who Fail

Nothing can content me more,
Than Jesus in the morning,
Echoing the hallways of my heart.
My eyes from darkness clearly see,
The love within His smile, for me.
It’s then I know the reason for my life.

 	Jesus, You’re my reason for being here,
Oh, it’s so clear; so I sing!

No greater joy can be for me,
Than turning to Jesus,
When the shadows of the day begin to haunt me.
His soft, warm Spirit spreads throughout,
Quenching all my fear and doubt.
Jesus is the all-inclusive love.

Good Morning, Lord Jesus

Nothing Can Content Me More

A birthday consecration! Lord, make this my prayer throughout the whole year.

1. Dearest Lord, I come;
This is now my pray’r,
Keep me open to You,
May I always love You.

Lord, I love You more today,
So much more than yesterday;
Lord, I need You, Lord, I love You.

2. Now that the choice is mine,
Lord, I still choose You;
’Though the paths be not marked,
I’m still trusting in You.

3. And if the way is hard,
If things don’t go my way,
Keep my heart soft to You,
Keep me open to You.

4. Dearest Lord, I pray,
Lead me everyday;
Don’t let things come between,
Keep my eyes fixed on You.

5. When many years have gone,
And many things have passed,
I will still be for You,
I will still say to You:

Dearest Lord, I Come

(Written by Jacob Freeman)

Oh Lord, Your Name is Sweet! And from it flows
A river full of peace and light and life,
As on it, I cast all my anxious woes. 
I need not think! I only need to call.
In this way, I am less, and You are all. 

It is so rich to call and to receive—
To soak Your Spirit into all my being. 
As I absorb Your riches, I believe
And You are real to me. Oh, but to know
You, dearest Lord, and have a deeper flow!

You are a treasury of endless wealth,
So readily accessible to me!
How great! These riches constitute my health,
My great supply, my strength, my life, my all—
So effortless! I only need to call.

Continually soften all my heart
To cling to You and to receive Your Word.
Lord, make Your home in every inward part,
And, as I call, make deeper every root
That I might grow and bear You richest fruit.

Lord I Am Continually with Thee - Fall 2019
