Psalm 62:5-8

My soul, wait in silence for God alone, for my expectation is from Him. 

He alone is my rock and my salvation, my high retreat;  I will not be shaken.

On God my salvation and my glory depend; the rock of my strength, my refuge, is in God.

Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge to us.

psalm 62:5-8 with savannah

An extended version of the previous medley. Still a work in progress. It's just so I know what the arrangement sounds like.

A medley of two Bible verses and a song :)


Medley of 3 Hymns

DON'T ALLOW ME TO CHOOSE

1. Lord, I would not be satisfied
Until I've got Your best; 
Your perfect will for my life
A choice that I should make;

Chorus:
Don't allow me to linger
And settle on the less;
Don't allow me to choose by myself
While You have prepared the best.

2. Lord, I'm not clear about Your way
I'm prone to go astray;
Without Your light and leading,
I can't go on this way.

3. Don't give me choice between Your will
and my interference;
Still dwelling on the outward life
And natural preference.

4. With all my personal desires
Incline my heart to You;
How could I live a joyful life
If it's apart from You?

5. Direct my steps on life's journey
Lord, lead me every day;
When reaching on the crossroad paths
Don't let me choose my way.

6. All longings deep within my heart
Lord, do fill every part;
Make me just satisfied in You
And never will depart.

不要讓我再徘徊

１　主，我不會滿意直到
我得你的最好；
你為我的純全旨意
我所應該選取；
副歌：
不要讓我再徘徊
並且安定較少；
不要讓我由自己選擇
當你預備了最好

２　主，我不清楚你道路
我是傾向迷路；
沒有你的帶領和光，
不能繼續前往。

３　你意志和我干涉之間
不讓我有揀選；
我仍住在向外生活
並且天然揀選。
４　以我所有個人慾望
傾斜我心向你；
我怎麼能活的快樂
若生活沒有你？

５　指揮我一生的旅途
主，每天帶領我；
當到達在交叉道路
不讓我選我路。

６　在我心內深深渴望
主，每部分滿溢；
使我只要滿意於你
並且永不離去。

Don't Allow Me to Choose

This was written maybe 3 or 4 years ago, but I recently revisited it because I wasn't happy with the way the original one ended; I felt it didn't accurately capture the sentiment of the psalmist as he wrote " Let us therefore know, Let us pursue knowing Jehovah." There was a yearning and a wistfulness I was trying to capture which I couldn't successfully do, the first time.

Hosea 6:1-3
Capo 5 G
Intro: C-D-G
G                                Cmaj7
Come and let us return to Jehovah;
       Em                              D
For He has torn us, but He will heal us,
        G                                       Cmaj7               Em
And He has stricken us, but He will bind us up.
                                D                        C
He will enliven us after two days;
             D               G          Em 
On the third day He will raise us up,
C                   D               G     G7
And we will live in His presence
C          D                G   B7   Em
On the third day He will raise us up,
        C                             D     G-C-G
And we will live in His presence
G                           Cmaj7                 Em                     D
Therefore let us know, let us pursue knowing Jehovah;
G                           Cmaj7                 Em                     D
Therefore let us know, let us pursue knowing Jehovah;
C    D        G                Em        
His going forth is as sure as the dawn,
C       D         G             G7                    C
And He will come to us as the rain,
            D                         G          B7   Em
As the late rain which waters the earth.
C                           D                           G    C             G
Therefore let us know, let us pursue knowing Jehovah.

Good morning Lord Jesus (New Tune)

A hit with the sixth graders at their conference in SoCal two years in a row. A happy song only for the Lord. Simply 'cause we love Him. Also, the God of the universe is in me. IN ME. Wonderful!

Now from my heart comes
A happy song
It's just for You, Lord
There's only one
J-E-S-U-S
I love You

Oh, how I love to sing
With my spirit and heart to You
Jesus, You're so rich in who You are and what You do
Every time I turn and open up, I drink of You
Cause I love You

Jesus in me
What a wonder
Bubbling over
Living Water 
J-E-S-U-S
I love You

Oh, how I love to sing (How)
With my spirit and heart to You (I love)
Jesus, You're so rich in who You are and what You do (To sing to You)
Every time I turn and open up, I drink of You (Every time)
Cause I love You (I love You)

Now From My Heart Comes

Be Thou supreme, O Jesus Christ,
Thy love has conquered me;
Beneath Thy Cross I die to self,
And live alone to Thee.

Be Thou supreme, O Jesus Christ,
Nor creed, nor form, nor word,
Nor holy Church, nor human love,
Compare with Thee, my Lord!

Be Thou supreme, O Jesus Christ,
My inmost being fill;
So shall I think as Thou dost think,
And will as Thou dost will.

Be Thou supreme, O Jesus Christ,
Thy life transfigure mine;
And through this veil of mortal flesh,
Lord, let Thy splendor shine.

Be Thou supreme, O Jesus Christ,
My soul exults in Thee;
To be Thy slave, to do Thy will,
Is my felicity.

be Thou supreme

Written by D.S. 

Consecration is not just a knowing of the right of ownership in the mind or a feeling of love in our affections, nor is it only an attitude and expression of ours toward God. Actually speaking, consecration itself is a part of life, a major part of life. The experience of consecration, therefore, is really the experience of life. The fullness of one's experience of life depends on the fullness of one's experience of consecration. Hence, if one pursues the experience of consecration, it will enable him to grow in life - W.L. The Experience of Life

Hidden Behind Every Scene

w/ SS

Before the throne of God above 
I have a strong and perfect plea 
A great High Priest whose name is love 
Who ever lives and pleads for me 
My name is graven on His hands 
My name is written on His heart 
I know that while in heav'n He stands 
No tongue can bid me thence depart 
No tongue can bid me thence depart

When Satan tempts me to despair 
And tells me of the guilt within 
Upward I look and see Him there 
Who made an end of all my sin 
Because the sinless Savior died 
My sinful soul is counted free 
For God the Just is satisfied 
To look on Him and pardon me 
To look on Him and pardon me

Behold Him there, the risen Lamb 
My perfect, spotless Righteousness 
The great unchangeable I AM 
The King of glory and of grace 
One with Himself, I cannot die 
My soul is purchased by His blood 
My life is hid with Christ on high 
With Christ my Savior and my God
With Christ my Savior and my God

before the throne

This song is a compilation of some personal prayers and enjoyments from the Bible and the Ministry during my first term in the Training. Praise Him as the One who is able :)

"For if we, being enemies, were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more we will be saved in His life, having been reconciled" - Romans 5:10


Lyrics:
Lord, much more do I need
Your full salvation worked out in me
All I have is today
So for Your purpose, Lord have Your way 
Fan my spirit into flame
Lord, don’t let me stay the same.

Lord, be my Amen, 
subdue my will, don’t let me win.
Though my feelings deceive,
I stand by faith, Your grace I receive.
Lord, take captive my every thought
Make your home in all of my heart

Strengthen my trust in You
That all things work together for good,
Not according to me,
But so that You’d be wrought in my being.
Though sometimes I don’t understand
Lord, I trust in Your loving hands.

Deepen my love for you,
Make me a lily, simple and pure.
Other things in my heart
Empty, unload me, Your love impart. 
Draw my eyes, to see only You 
Dear Lord Jesus, how I love You.

Lift my eyes up to see
All that You do is not just for me.
It’s the Church, as Your bride,
who satisfies Your heart’s desire.
Of your Body, grant me Your view.
Draw me, we will run after You

Thank You, for who You are
All that we can’t be, Lord be our All.
Praise You Lord as the One
Who over all things is on the throne. 
By Your mercy, we’re justified
But much more, save us in Your life. 
Lord much more, save us in Your life.

Lord, Much More

Rightly do they love you.

By the gazelles or by the hinds of the fields, 
Not to rouse up or awaken my love
Until she pleases.

My beloved responds and says to me,
Rise up, my love,
My beauty, and come away;

The rain is over and gone.

My beloved put his hand into the opening of the door,
And my inner parts yearned for him.

For His compassions do not fail;
they are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.

Lyrics by Ellie:

Verse 1:
A change in location
Darkness to the kingdom
Of the Son of His love
Brings a change in constitution
Food which abides, bread from above

Chorus (with echoes the last round):
What is it (It's the manna)
That fulfills our appetite?
What is it? (The bread from heaven)
Bread to the full can’t satisfy
The Lord’s need for building
What is it?

Verse 2:
Our morning infusion
boiled and baked through our
Experiences of the day
Brings a change in consummation
A mutual dwelling where we’ll stay
