Really great playing and singing, thank you for sharing.

Nearer Each Day To Me.wmv

I learned this song many many years ago, when I was about 10 years old while I sat in as a little child in my first young people's meeting back in my parents' hometown, Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines. I never sang it again since I moved to the US --no one really knows this song here, except for VERY few saints who are either Filipino or have visited the Philippines for a blending trip. But recently I have been recollecting many precious, almost forgotten memories from my childhood, and this song came to mind. "Sweet, Sweet Repose" is something that sounded lovely to me then as a child, but is so intimate and relatable to me now as an adult. It's like this song was written so I could enjoy it at this exact stage and time of my life. I thought of sharing it with you all. The following are the lyrics/some info on how to play it on your own. Enjoy!

Standard tuning

Are You the One who came from heav’n?
The mighty God who suffered the curse of sin and died,
And they pierced Your side.
Rose from the grave, You’re ever new;
You’ve sown in me the seed of life that grew
From sinner, poor and blind
To New Jerusalem.
 
I love You more
With all my heart, with all my soul,
(Oh, Love divine)
With all my strength, with all my mind;
Sweet, sweet repose.

Are You the One my heart has known?
Are You the One, my spirit has richly grown to love?
Oh come, Beloved
And with my lips, shall I confess
That deep in You my heart found rest
And peace as ocean’s depth?
Oh, fill me with Your breath!

Sweet, Sweet Repose

Nearer, my God, to Thee

O Lord, As We Consider Thee

1 Cor. 1:26 - 29

Here are the words:
1
God used John, the Baptist,
Who left his home and good past;
Left the religion of his age.
He turned from the oldness,
And spoke the Word with boldness,
“Repent and leave this crooked age.”

Chorus:
 	God needs the overcomers,
’Our dear Lord Jesus’ lovers!
Make us those who live to turn the age!
God needs the overcomers,
’Our dear Lord Jesus’ lovers!
Make us those who consummate the age!

2
God called Saul of Tarsus,
For His own plan and purpose,
Who became Paul, the apostle;
He saw a heav’nly vision,
Where there is no division,
In the one Body of the Lord.

3
God called Timothy, now,
Like-souled with Paul, who knew how
To pray and be soaked in the Word;
His spirit fanned into flame,
Lord, make my spirit the same,
An overcoming man of God!
 	Make us the overcomers,
Christ’s Bride, and God’s age-turners.
Make us those who consummate the age!

God made all things
There's nothing He can't do
He speaks and it's done
Trust Him, beloved one
God answers when the sea
Roars, rages making thee
Feel left but that is when He speaks

God answers when, you call to Him
You'll come to see, great hidden things
Wait on the Lord, have hope in Him
He's faithful to His children

Though mountains block your way
His words will bring you through
Before whom mountains fall
He listens when you call
God who divides the sea
Will always work for thee
He promises to hear thy call

Haggai 1:8 & Hebrews 3:6 / Original (Titus's Song)(Farewell)

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 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!

Nearer, my God, to Thee
