Mornings with Christ

MAINE 2025 SATURDAY AFTERNOON ISLAND PARTY JAMS

This year on Saturday we started a jam early around the cold ash pit by the clubhouse. You can’t imagine the ear to ear smile on the face of this old sound man, hearing the music you’re about to hear, through my headphones, doing the thing I most love to do, surrounded by my dear friends of as much as 30 years, and their children and children’s children, singing and playing this extraordinary music. We’re doing this, not in a studio, but in the middle of a party, so  anything can happen, but, every once in a while, everything works out perfect.

This music was recorded in August 2025, on an island in the middle of a big lake in Northwest Maine, where we’ve been gathering, thanks to the Loons, for decades. Many of these friends, musicians, and singers from Maine and from all over the country and abroad, hadn’t seen each other, much less played with each other, for at least a year. It’s all improvisation, Jams, not Performances, with no prior Rehearsals or Song Lists, so this is as real as it gets.

This album is arranged in the actual order in which the music was played, minus the many out-takes, but, when it’s all done, it seems I couldn’t have thought of a better order. The music is all acoustic Americana, though it ranges all over the place, from Bluegrass to Jazz to Folk to Country to Rock to Reggae, (and this album also includes Musical Comedy) but it really works as an organic album, and that’s big for people like me, who still appreciate albums.

Sounds best, like you’re right on that island in Maine partying with us, when played on a good stereo with two separated speakers, left and right, or on a headset, or, one of my favorites, on a car stereo, so that this stereo recording will actually sound three-dimensional. You can hear the location of each instrument and singer. More than ever before, I was able to immerse myself (and my stereo pair of mics) into the belly of the music, literally surrounded by the musicians, the instruments, voices, and harmonies, so that, if you listen in true stereo, I can take you right in there with me.

On some songs, there’s a little too much chatter, but when you’re actually at a campfire, and people are talking, laughing, and partying, you filter that out, and the only thing you hear is the music. Crank it up, and let your imagination take you there, and enjoy. It’ll surprise you.

The Canon Progression

D A Bm F#m G D G A



God, the Creator, became a God-man
His death redeemed us for His glorious plan
Now, in resurrection, the Spirit’s released
Producing the church, this is God’s masterpiece


Lord, You love me so immensely
I would love You more intensely
Every day and every moment
O Lord, capture me
Let my goal and my life’s theme be
Lord, to love You more supremely
With all my heart, Lord Jesus
Keep me faithful unto Thee
(Come and fill me, Lord, to the brim
Overflow in me, overcome in me) 


Thou art my Beloved, the most lovely Beloved
My heart and my soul are seeking after Thee (x2) 


God’s eternal economy is to make man the same as He is
In life and nature but not in the Godhead
And to make Himself one with man and man one with Him
Thus to be enlarged and expanded in His expression


And we know that all things work together for good 
To those who love God, to those who are called


Draw me, we will run after Thee
In the morning at the vineyards
They have caused me to give You my love
Caused me to give You my love


Drifting without You, Lord
Lost vessels we were
Spirits deadened, destined for judgment
No hope in the world
But God, being rich in mercy 
Because of His great love with which He loved us
Even when we were dead in offences
Made us alive together with Christ


And we have the prophetic word made more firm
To which you do well to give heed as to a lamp 
Shining in a dark place


Behold, I stand at the door and knock
If anyone hears My voice and opens the door
I will come in to him and dine with him and he with Me


I’m so happy here, with my Father dear
Once lost, now I’m near again


These things says the Holy One, the true One
The One who has the key of David
The One who opens, no one will shut
And shuts and no one opens (G A D)


I know your works; behold
I have put before you an opened door
Which no one can shut
Because you have
A little power, have kept My word
Have not denied My name (G A D)


How could a country girl like me
Become Your match, Your bride to be?
You’re holy and You are divine
But I’m fallen and human
Without You, Lord, I have no chance
To be like You in this romance
But You chose me ere the world began
Nothing could change Your plan

This divine romance 
Is my heart’s deep plan
I became a lowly man
To court My country girl


(D A Bm F#m G A D A
 D A Bm F#m G A D)
Lord, how long, dear Bridegroom
’Til You come, Lord, how soon?
Don’t delay for that coming day (coming day)
Grant me, Lord, to be filled
With You, Lord, every day
Dearest Lord, take me all the way

Come, Lord Jesus
Please come, dear Bridegroom
Precious One, come soon, come soon
Lord, consume me
O Lord, don’t let me stray
Faithful to You all the way

A Life of No Regrets

Morning Dawn Had Arisen

Awake, sleeper! | Ephesians 5:14-20

Overcome!

Oh That Christ May Make His Home My Heart

Abba Father

I'm a God-Man

Have you had your cup, your cup of Christ in the morning?
Start your day with a little restoring
With Christ as your new beginning
What better way to start than to start the day singing?

	Turn, turn your heart in the morning
	Take His blood, be washed from all things
	Nothing's too big or small for Him,
	He's righteous and He will forgive
	Exercise your spirit in this way

Have you had your cup, your cup of Christ in the morning?
Start your day with a little restoring
With Christ as your life-giving drink
He'll fill your cup, He'll fill you up, until you sink in Christ

	Drink, drink up Christ in the morning
	Drink the One who's overflowing
	In your heart, from the throne He's flowing
	To reach you. With the tree that's growing
	To cherish, to nourish, to refresh, to supply you

Have you had your cup, your cup of Christ in the morning?
Start your day with a little restoring
With Christ as the heavenly air
Just by one simple prayer, you can breathe Him anywhere,

	Call, call His name in the morning
	Join yourself to the One who's soaring
	Transcending over everything,
	Just call His name and breathe Him in
	Don't think; the breath knows where to go
	
Have you had your cup, your cup of Christ in the morning?
Start your day with a little restoring
With Christ as your first and best love
Let Him love you, He's really good at recovering you.

	Love, love your Lord in the morning
	Open wide to His adorning
	By loving you, making home in you,
	Just love your Lord with all your heart,
	With all your soul, with all your mind and strength

Cup of Christ

O Morning Star!

Seek The Lord (Isaiah 55:6-7)

Hym554 " I come to His presence afresh "
A precious Hym, especially to those who find morning revival difficult.

Song arranged,produced by: Erica Chao
Vocal: Carl Wu, Erica Chao, Grace Leung

I come to His presence afresh

1)
Lord Jesus, thank You for this very day,
I do believe in You; I do love You.
Thank You that I can know what’s in Your heart:
You want to make me one with You.
I open my entire inner being,
My every inward part is just for You.
Is there a part You have not entered yet?
I need Your shining to repent.
 
Lord, here I am, I’m enterable.
Saturate me and possess me today.
Gain me, increase more in me,
Make Yourself thus one with me.
Lord, make me You, in life and nature,
Deify me, Lord, and Christify me,
Sonize me even today,
For Your dear Body’s sake.

2)
Thank You for showing me Your heart’s desire:
You would be one with me—I say, Amen!
You’re fully able to accomplish this;
Today, I give myself to You.
To not live contradiction, I agree—
With any kind of friction in my being.
In all the ordinary things of life,
Lord, make me always one with You.

Make Me One with You

1.
They walked along the road:
Two disciples, all alone,
Their Master dead and gone.
A man to them drew near,
Spoke to them and calmed their fears,
They told Him everything.

(He said:)
Why don’t you believe?
For it was necessary
For the Christ to suffer all these things
And enter His glory.
Why don’t you believe?
Why don’t you believe?

2.
They came to journey’s end;
He came in to eat with them,
He blessed and broke the bread.
Then opened were their eyes;
Jesus Christ they recognized.
He disappeared from them.

(They said:)
Did not our hearts burn
As He spoke those words?
While we walked with Him
The Scriptures were opened.
Did not our hearts burn?
Did not our hearts burn?

3.
We walk along our road
He reminds us we were told
“I’m with you every day.”
No matter how we feel,
He’s the Spirit, He is real,
Indwelling you and me.

(We say:)
Do not our hearts burn
When we hear His word?
Jesus Christ, within,
In resurrection lives!
Do not our hearts burn?
Do not our hearts burn?


They walked along the road (Do not our hearts burn?)

"... and I have come to tell you, for you are preciousness itself. Therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision." - Dan. 9:23b
