Christine and I put together verses from Psalm 119 that we enjoyed during the 2012 college training.

"I anticipated the dawn and cried out; I hoped in your words. (119:147)
My eyes anticipated the night watches, that I might muse upon Your word. (119: 148)
Hear my voice according to Your lovingkindness; O Jehovah, according to Your ordinances enliven me. (119: 149).

How sweet are your words to my taste! Sweeter than honey to my mouth! (119:103)
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. (119:105)
You are my hiding place and my shield; In Your word do I hope. (119:114)

Incline my heart to Your testimonies and not to unjust gain. (119:36)
Turn my eyes from beholding vanity, and enliven me in Your ways. (119:37)"

Psalm 119 (C+E)

Lyrical and melodic variation on the earlier, "Put Me In A Box." I was looking for something less whimsical and overtly topical.  This is really the same subject however; just presented through a different, more personal lens:

I've been thinking lately, I really hope you know
When it all turns upside down and It's time to go
I'll rely on you, you are like gold
Beautiful and strong

Oh darling I don't know what to think
And I don't know how long we can wait
The wolves are hungry now, clawing at the gate
We can't hesitate

Where, where, where do we go?
Where, where, how will we know?
And when will we be home?

And I have been wondering, did you ever dream
We'd see such days, this gothic scene?
Here comes the terror, the war machine
We've got to get away

Oh my dear, as I say, I look to you
You keep your head in danger, never lose your cool
Your are like gold, immutable
In every fire we have known

Where, where, where do we fly?
When, when do we arrive?
And will, will we know why?

Oh my love, now shine like gold once again

You Are Like Gold

I bow unto the Father,                     
That He would grant to you,              
Into the inner man with pow’r
Our God will strengthen you    

The prayers of the saints,
The prayers of the saints,
Into our spirit strengthened through
The prayers of the saints

That in you Christ would make home,
Make home in all your hearts.
That in His making home there
He saturates each part			
       
   The prayers of the saints,
   The prayers of the saints,
   Our hearts becoming His home through
   The prayers of the saints
    
That with the saints we would know
Dimensions of our Christ
For we would apprehend the breadth,
The length, the depth and height

   The prayers of the saints
   The prayers of the saints
   We know the vast dimensions through
   The prayer of the saints

That all the saints would come to know        
Knowledge surpassing love
We’d know in our experience
The boundless love of God
   The prayers of the saints,
   The prayers of the saints,
  Knowledge surpassing love known through
   The prayers of the saints



Unto the fullness of God
All of the saints be filled
Filled with the riches of Christ,
The Body we would build

   The prayers of the saints,
   The prayers of the saints,
   We’re building up the Body through
   The prayers of the saints


For me this will turn out to,
Salvation through your prayer
For through the Body's praying
The rich supply is there

   Petition of the saints,
   Petition of the saints
   Supply to you, bountiful through
   Petition of the saints

A Life of No Regrets

God Has a Dream

Therefore With Joy/The Redeemed

Until We All Arrive

Nothing But Love

Morning Dew

1. The Bible is a romance
In the most holy sense:
God and His chosen people
In love it so presents.
This Universal Couple
Throughout it is displayed;
God in Christ is the Bridegroom,
His saints, the Bride, portrayed.
2. Through shadows, types and figures,
God’s deepest thought is known;
As typified by Adam,
The Husband, Christ, is shown.
A rib brought forth from Adam
Reveals the source of life
By which God built a woman:
Eve, as the church, His wife.
3. To be His people’s Husband,
To take them as His wife:
This is what God desires
To live in marriage life.
Their sacrifice and worship
Alone could not content;
But with them to be married
Was God’s foremost intent.
4. This romance is the finest
As seen in Song of Songs;
For her Beloved’s kisses
His seeking lover longs.
Love’s work in her produces
No person of her own,
But she becomes the City,
Her Person, Christ alone.
5. Christ is our coming Bridegroom;
We are the Church, His Bride,
Redeemed, regenerated,
The issue of His side,
In source, in life, in nature
And person fully one,
His counterpart forever,
The New Jerusalem.

The Bible Is A Romance

Here's a really sweet song that my wife and I came across a few weeks ago. Last week, some of my friends came over and we recorded it! Hope it becomes a nourishment and supply to whoever listens as it did to us!
