NACT 2023

This album was recorded by young people to inspire all to consecrate our lives to the Lord.  We are the Lord's and we want to proclaim it.

I Am the Lord's

Never Did I Dream Before

“Watch, Be Ready“ is our CD for 2021.  The burden in this CD is to help all of the young people realize that the Lord is coming sooner than we may have thought. And we need to be those who prepare for his coming. So the title song, “Watch, Be Ready” is the theme of these psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. We pray that we will be the generation to bring the Lord back, that we will overcome Satan’s befuddling attacks on our thoughts and be renewed in the spirit of our mind (Eph. 4:22-24).  The Lord needs a group of people who overcome all the lies of this age and give themselves to “hasten" the Lord’s return (2 Peter 3:12).

Watch Be Ready!

Even As He Is

This song comes from 2 Thessalonians 2:10-11, a warning to us which says "And in all deceit of unrighteousness among those who are perishing, because they did not receive the love of the truth that they might be saved. And because of this God sends to them an operation of error that they might believe the lie."

Growing Up Together In The Lord

Christ is the tree of life! Here's a recording of young people in the southeast singing our new song at a retreat in North Carolina this weekend (4/14 - 4/16/2023).

1. In the beginning we can see
God placed man in front of two different trees—
The tree of life and the tree of
Knowledge of good and evil.

One leads to life by eating Him.
And the other leads to deadness and sin.
So, feed on Christ! Don’t be satisfied with
Being good and legal.

CHORUS:
Christ
Is the Tree of Life.
He’s our life-supply.
Let’s choose the way of life!
Take Him in
By enjoying Him!
Open deep within.
And on His life depend.
(End: Eat the tree of life!) 

2. Now everyone can feast on Him!
Open deeply and be filled to the brim!
Partake of Christ as the tree of Life.
Express Him together.

Give Christ the first place in our hearts.
As we love Him all His Life He imparts.
In spirit He fills eternally!
Satisfied forever!

   Love is the most excellent way,
  (Brothers) Love prevails! Never fails!
  (Sisters) Love prevails!
   More than what we do or say,
  (Brothers) Love prevails! Never fails!
  (Sisters) Love prevails!
   Love prevails when all else fails;
   Love never fails!

1. The love described by God’s own word
Expresses God as life;
The life, a law, within God’s heart
Is the Spirit of Jesus Christ.

2. The love of God poured out from God,
Through Christ into our hearts,
Is nothing less than Christ Himself
Who spreads through all our parts.

3. It covers, bends, endures all things,
Love’s strength to last is great;
The love of God, like none on earth,
Cannot discriminate.

4. Now let this love, the love of Christ,
Support, sustain the weak;
Supply the love to build the church,
And care for all God’s sheep.

(cf. 2022 Spring ITERO, Message 1)

1. He loved them to the uttermost, 
Those whom the Father chose;
Jesus, our shepherd, friend and Lord,
After the meal, He rose;
He laid aside divinity,
Then girded with humility,
He washed and wiped
this dirty world away.

    Filled with His freshness,
    power and presence,
    Having been washed and filled
    we love as Christ loved us;
    Spiritual energy,
    daily revival,
    Loving the brothers now
    as Christ has first loved us.

2. He loved them to the uttermost,
He washed His loved ones feet,
Produced this pleasant atmosphere
Where all the saints can meet.
His fragrant love has filled the room,
The service of our dear Bridegroom,
Jesus the Savior purifies His bride.

3. He loved them to the uttermost,
His Spirit was poured out;
His living word enlightens us,
Removes all fear and doubt;
The inner law of life dispensed,
Our heart filled in the deepest sense,
Maintains our love
for Jesus and His own.

He Loved Them to the Uttermost

Just One Touch- Howard Higashi

Capo 2: E - C#m - F#m - B - E (intro)

1
More of our heart, dear Lord, we’d give You now;
Even more ground to You, Lord, we’d allow.
All that distracts us we’d despise,
All that draws away our eyes—
Lord, do fill our vision
’Til the morning star has risen!
We would count all things loss, but Jesus gain;
Our inward parts cry out for You to reign.
Worthy You are our heart to claim—
Come, engrave on us Your name,
We would love You, Jesus, more.

2
Less we would argue, Lord, and go our way;
More we would say “Amen” to what You say.
Grant us a walk to You conformed,
’Til our living is transformed.
We adore You, Jesus—
May a pure love for You seize us.
Any unwillingness, Lord, quickly slay;
Even by faith we open all the way—
Rising to heights of love unknown,
Christ our destiny alone,
We would love You, Jesus, more!

More Of Our Heart, Dear Lord

Until We All Arrive

Until We All Arrive Medley

Howard Higashi Shepherd, Receive Man Lords Recovery Hymn

1. The Father God, the deepest spring,
The rich eternal source,
Emerges as the living spring,
In Jesus Christ, the course;
The Spirit is the flowing spring,
A springing up in us;
The river of life, the triune spring,
Profoundly glorious.

CHORUS:
This river is huge, this river is deep,
This river is wide,
It’s flowing out from the smitten rock,
The Savior’s side;
This river is clear, this river is pure,
This river is bright,
The Triune God, the glorified Christ,
Resurrection life.

2. Uniquely one, this flowing grace,
The living God divine
From Eden flows to every place,
And reaches all mankind;
By drinking of the stream of life,
The saints become His bride,
His counterpart, increase of Christ,
The issue from His side.

3. This river of God is flowing free,
A priceless living spring,
Wherever it flows conveys the tree,
Brings life to everything;
This turbulent river is full and great,
And man regenerates;
This hydro-power permeates,
Transforms and saturates.

4. These rapids of life will not relent
But swiftly reach the end,
The Triune God mingling with men,
The New Jerusalem;
The sweetness of this river of life,
The all-inclusive Christ,
Will consummate the sanctified
Unto eternal life.
