The song sang on the Wangs' wedding.

1. 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!
        Oh Lord, don’t let me stray,
        Faithful to You all the way.

2. Lord, make home in all my heart
In my secret, deepest parts,
Hidden, Lord, and reserved for You, for You.
You would be preeminent
In all things and all events,
Possessed by Thee to this extent.

3. In my prayer and deepest plea
In my spirit always be
Saturated and soaked with Thee, with Thee.
This would be my life daily.
Every hour expecting Thee,
This I pray, Lord, desperately!

4. The universe, in it we see,
In the sweetest touch of Thee,
You’re my choice and my destiny, destiny.
Lord, whate’er the price may be,
Lord, Amen, let it be!
Oh, my Love, please come back quickly!

5. In Your love I am constrained.
What’s within, I can’t contain.
Lord, I can’t any more restrain, restrain.
In Your love, I’ll pour on Thee.
And the church, Your Bride to be,
This my choice voluntarily.

Lord how long

*This is another new tune I came up with so it will be different from the new tune on hymnal.net. 

1
He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase,
To added affliction He addeth His mercy,
To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.

(chorus)
His love has no limit, His grace has no measure,
His power no boundary known unto men,
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth and giveth and giveth again.

2
When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
When our strength has failed ere the day is half-done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources,
Our Father’s full giving is only begun.

Demo: He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater (hymn 723, new tune)

1. If the path I travel
Lead me to the cross,
If the way Thou choosest
Lead to pain and loss,
Let the compensation
Daily, hourly, be
Shadowless communion,
Blessed Lord, with Thee.

2. If there’s less of earth joy,
Give, Lord, more of heaven.
Let the spirit praise Thee,
Though the heart be riven;
If sweet earthly ties, Lord,
Break at Thy decree,
Let the tie that binds us,
Closer, sweeter, be.

3. Lonely though the pathway,
Cheer it with Thy smile;
Be Thou my companion
Through earth’s little while;
Selfless may I live, Lord,
By Thy grace to be
Just a cleansed channel
For Thy life through me.

(Lyrics from https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/h/377)

Demo: If the path I travel (hymnal 377, new tune)

Inspired by the hymnal 12. 

1. With a grieving heart, I come to Thee,
Acknowledging you are the source of life,
divine, rich, and free,
As living water flows out

2. Though I am sin and wicked, 
Drifting far from Thee apace, 
Yet the moment I repent, 
Thy complete peace bestowed 

3. I long to mingle with Thee 
As the Spirit in the Son of God, 
Nearer, dearer, and sweeter, 
You alone my only ground

Story behind: 
In an afternoon, I felt defeated. I was in a situation that different feelings and thoughts came to bother me concerning a matter. I realised there was no way for me to get out unless I turn to Christ. 

I turned to Him, confessing my weaknesses to overcome victoriously. I am altogether sinful and sin itself. Only Him and Him alone the source of my life may be. I long to mingle with Thee, Lord.

Demo: With a grieving heart I come to Thee

I am my beloved's,
And his desire is for me, 
Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields; 
Let us lodge in the villages. 
Let us rise up early for the vineyards,

(Chorus)
Let us see if the vine has budded, 
If the blossom is open, 
If the pomegranates are in bloom; 
There I will give you my love. 

The mandrakes give forth fragrance, 
And over our doors are all choice fruits, 
New as well as old. 
These, my beloved, I have stored up for you.

(Verses are from the recovery version)

Demo: There I will give You my love (Song of songs 7:10-13, new song)

1. Jesus has loved me, wonderful Savior!
Jesus has loved me, I cannot tell why;
Came He to rescue sinners all worthless;
My heart He conquered, for Him I would die.

2. Jesus has saved me, wonderful Savior!
Jesus has saved me, I cannot tell how;
All that I know is He was my ransom,
Dying on Calv’ry with thorns on His brow.

3. Jesus is leading me, wonderful Savior!
Jesus is leading me, I cannot tell where;
But I'm following, through joy or sorrow,
Sunshine or tempest, sweet peace or despair.

4. Jesus will crown me, wonderful Savior!
Jesus will crown me, I cannot tell when;
His throne of splendor hail I with gladness,
Crowned with the glory of God among men.

(chorus)
Glory to Jesus, wonderful Savior!
Glory to Jesus, the One I adore;
Glory to Jesus, wonderful Savior!
Glory to Jesus, and praise evermore.

*Minor modification for stanza 3.
(Lyrics from www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/h/336)

(Demo) Jesus has loved me, wonderful Savior (hymnal 336, new tune)

1. I know not what awaits me,
God kindly veils my eyes,
And o’er each step of my onward way
He makes new scenes to rise;
And every joy He sends me comes
A sweet and glad surprise.
 	
2. One step I see before me,
’Tis all I need to see,
The light of heaven more brightly shines
When earth’s illusions flee;
And sweetly through the silence comes,
His loving, “Trust in Me!”

3. Oh, blissful lack of wisdom,
’Tis blessed not to know;
He holds me with His own right hand,
And will not let me go,
And lulls my troubled soul to rest
In Him who loves me so.

4. So on I go not knowing;
I would not if I might;
I’d rather walk in the dark with God
Than go alone in the light;
I’d rather walk by faith with Him
Than go alone by sight.

(chorus)
Where He may lead I’ll follow,
My trust in Him repose;
And every hour in perfect peace,
I’ll sing, “He knows, He knows“;
And every hour in perfect peace,
I’ll sing, “He knows, He knows.”

*In the afternoon prayer, I poured out my whole being to Him for His healing and comfort. I realised that I cannot go on without His much supply and Himself. After the prayer time, I started singing this hymn. Realising that it is still a blessing even if we don't know what He's prepared for our way. He has His way to ease my cares so that I can be at ease and go on and serve Him.

He's our source of prayers and service. If we love Him and want to serve Him, we must firstly receive His serving- His comfort with understanding, His love, and His infusion of His entire being in us.  Lord, I really love You.

(Demo) I know not what awaits me (hymnal 711, new tune)

1. Thy Word is like a storehouse, Lord,
With full provision there,
And everyone who seeks may come,
Its glorious wealth to share.
Thy Word is like a deep, deep mine,
And jewels rich and rare
Are hidden in its mighty depths
For every searcher there.

2. Thy Word is like a starry host:
A thousand rays of light
Are seen to guide the traveler,
And make his pathway bright.
Thy Word is like an armory,
Where soldiers may repair,
And find, for life’s long battle day,
All needful weapons there.

3. O may I love Thy precious Word,
May I explore the mine,
May I its glorious riches take,
May light upon me shine.
O may I find my armor there,
Thy Word my trusty sword;
I’ll learn to fight with every foe
The battle of the Lord.

4. Word of the ever living God,
Will of His glorious Son;
Without Thee how could earth be trod,
Or God and Christ be won?
Lord, grant us all aright to learn
The wisdom it imparts,
And to its heav’nly teaching turn,
With simple, child-like hearts.

(Lyrics from hymnal.net)
Sung in a morning trapped in London with trains passing by.

(Demo)Thy Word is like a storehouse, Lord (hymnal 804, new tune)

1. Jesus, Thine all-victorious love
   Shed in my soul abroad;
   Then shall my heart no longer rove,
   Rooted and fixed in God,
   Rooted and fixed in God.

2. Oh, that in me the sacred fire
    Might now begin to glow;
    Burn up the dross of base desire,
    And make the mountains flow,
    And make the mountains flow.

3. He, who at Pentecost didst fall,
    May He my sins consume;
    Thy Holy Ghost, for Him I call;
    Thy burning Spirit, come,
    Thy burning Spirit, come.

4. Refining fire, go through my heart,
    Illuminate my soul;
    Scatter Thy life through every part,
    And sanctify the whole,
    And sanctify the whole.

5. My steadfast soul, from falling free,
    Shall then no longer move,
    While Christ is all the world to me,
    And all my heart is love,
    And all my heart is love.

*There are always things not being easy to let go. It's not merely a matter of not being willing to let go, but even if you choose to let go, the soul isn't capable enough to endure the pain. As a human being, we are not emotionless, we are full of feelings. 

In moments like this, I think of the consecration that I offered to the Lord when I was a young person. I chose to follow Him, but when the situations conflicted my desire, I became a chicken. I wasn't able to follow with boldness as I claimed I would when I was young.  Then a sentence of the hymn came to me. "While Christ is all the world to me, And all my heart is love". While not knowing how to go on, may my heart be filled with love. Even though I might know nothing, be nothing, and see nothing, I would be one who cares for Your interests on the earth.

From the moment I first met Thee,
How my heart was filled with joy.
Hallelujah! Full joy in me,
As Thou flood me without alloy.
Oh the sweetest love is this first love;
Jesus, O Jesus my love!
Far excelling all other loves,
Such love reaches me.
Such a sweet love, such a true love—
Jesus, O Jesus my love!

A song that always reminds me of the first love I have with the Lord Jesus.

每一屆若看到 日頭落山
沉重的卡網(行李) 隨伊放下
咱的土地 又擱平安過一天
想要跟你講 辛苦啦 台灣

地平線 點起希望的燈仔火
藏置暗暝 恬恬陪咱過
咱的台灣 沒親像伊講的 赫呢歹
黑暗過去 天光就會來

有一天 有一天 咱會看到咱的夢震動
你不是我的冤仇人 咱來相挺 逗幫贊
有一天 有一天 乎囝仔心肝頭輕鬆
自由 浪漫 有尊嚴 平安 好命 緊大漢

有一天

(Demo) Matthew 5:8-10 Blessed are the pure in heart (new song)

1. My lips are foul, my heart impure;
I’m a vile failure, utterly;
All my past hopes no more endure;
Lord, hast Thou yet some grace for me?

2. In holiness, self’s active yet;
When humble, I on self rely;
E’en the remorseful tears I shed,
These, too, Thy cleansing blood require.

3. In best intentions, self remains;
In highest sacrifice, self’s aims;
My heart is my own enemy;
Lord, may my hope yet in Thee stay?

4. In serving God, opinions lurk;
In loving man, self-interest hides.
I dare not stop, nor can I work;
Everywhere, in all, self abides.

5. The old creation’s hard to shed;
If I but move, there self is mired.
Oh, that Thy glory Thou wouldst send,
My heart to flood and bless entire.

6. Naught dare I ask, nor aught avow;
Naught can I do but gaze on Thee.
Might Thou Thy precious Word bestow,
Glory divine reveal to me?

(demo) number song (new children song)

When your heart has butterflies inside it,
Then your heart is full of love.
When your heart feels just like overflowing,
Then your heart is full of love.

Love is fragile as your tears.
Love is stronger than your fears.

When your heart can sing another's gladness,
Then your heart is full of love.
When your heart can cry another's sadness,
Then your heart is full of love.

Love is fragile as your tears.
Love is stronger than your fears.

When your heart beats for a special someone,
Then your heart is full of love.
When your heart has room for everybody,
Then your heart is full of love.

(Demo) Then your heart is full of love (children's song)

Please, please, be patient with me,
It is still difficult for me,
And I'm learning how to do it,
I am growing inside. 

Flowers grow in different seasons, 
Some are short, some are tall;
Some are big, some are small,
But they're all beautiful, beautiful,
I like them. 

Please, please, be patient with me,
I just need some more time,
Big trees take time to grow,
And I am learning  learning and growing inside.

Please be patient with me.

<I like to be told>

I like to be told
When you're going away,
When you're going to come back,
And how long you'll stay,
How long you will stay,
I like to be told.

I like to be told
If it's going to hurt,
If it's going to be hard,
If it's not going to hurt.
I like to be told.
I like to be told.

It helps me to get ready for all those things,
All those things that are new.
I trust you more and more
Each time that I'm
Finding those things to be true.

I like to be told
'Cause I'm trying to grow,
'Cause I'm trying to learn
And I'm trying to know.
I like to be told.
I like to be told.
