Lord, now I see

Unto Him That Hath Thou Givest

O Jesus, I Have Promised (Hymn 465, new tune)

I heard this hymn in the new tune for the first time in years today, and I ended up recording this on a whim. I may not be at a point of my spiritual life right now wherein I could draw each line from experience and relate to it, but I really hope I do get to that point where I could wait and fully trust in His arrangement, in His work within and around me.

I Know Not What Awaits Me (Hymn 711 New Tune)

NS788

1
There may be days when I’m lost and afraid,
And I can’t seem to find my own way;
Weakened with doubts, looking for a way out.
Help me turn to the spirit, call on Your name, and say,

chorus
I love You, Lord.
(You are in me just waiting for me to say)
I love You, Lord.
(You are Love, You are Light, You are the Way.)
Just keep me, Lord.
I’m Yours evermore.

2
You are light in the darkest of night.
In Your Word I have light for the way.
You’re faithful and true. Give me eyes to see You,
To see you in spirit, trust in Your name, and say,

chorus
I love You, Lord.
(You are in me just waiting for me to say)
I love You, Lord.
(You are Love, You are Light, You are the Way.)
Just keep me, Lord.
I’m Yours.

chorus
[Bridge]
In the darkness I see Your face,
Having peace knowing You are the Way.
Keep my heart ever turned to You
To be walking in spirit, strengthened by Grace to say,

chorus
I love You, Lord.
(You are leading me, keeping my path straight.)
I love You, Lord.
(When I call on You I can trust Your name.)
Just keep me, Lord.
I’m Yours evermore.



You Are the Way (LJ with HQ & JC).mp3

Has the wine run dry so soon?
I have barely tasted it;
Long before my tongue has quenched its thirst,
Has the wine run dry?

I have spent my final dime
On the thing I thought would last,
But as soon as I held it, it slipped away,
Now I'm still so dry.

I have climbed the highest peak;
Took me twenty years to train;
As I reach the top, I looked around and all I saw:
Vanity that's all.

I have probed the greatest minds,
I've believed in every cause,
But my heart won't hear philosophy or reasonings,
Left again dissatisfied.

Took me too, too long to see
That this world's all vanity;
I've been through too much to just pretend it's all okay;
Give me reality.

On my deepest, darkest night,
On my knees I cried aloud,
Someone came to me, He changed my
death to eternal life,
Gave me meaning, reason to live.

I will call upon His name,
I will draw this well and drink;
When I call His name, Jesus Lord, the waters flow;
That's the name I love.

All this time it was just Him,
He has saved the best for last;
Now I've finally found the wine that won't run dry.
And He's the sweetest wine of all.

Has the wine run dry so soon (with K.S.)
