Lyrics:

1.
When stormy breezes blow under the cloudy sky;
Darkness surges like rolling waves that grow so high.
The end times of Paul, can be likened in this way,
Many had turned away, leaving the Ministry.
Yet Timothy was there, unshaken 'midst the tide;
Diff’rent teachings came in, but he firmly decried.
In times of decline and degradation today,
Will we stand just how Timothy fought on those days?

Chorus:

Lord we’re here, standing as Your present Timothy
Regardless of what environment there be,
Ourselves we give, Your faithful continuation.
Take heed to fulfill what is Your commission, 
Consummate through us Your divine economy,
Until the end let us remain faithfully,
Let us remain faithfully.

2.
Not loving the present age, be a Timothy
Set our hearts on the course by running desp’rately
Let no one despise you for being weak and young
The testimony of the Lord is in your tongue.
Fan into flame the gift of God which is in you,
Preach the gospel,instruct the saints, uphold the truth.
Be constituted with the present truth today.
Good deposit we’ll guard until the coming day,

3. 
Who’ll fight the good warfare until the coming day,
To endure all the suff’rings go along the way
To remain steadfast not being disappointed.
Oh Lord Your mercy and Your grace is much needed,
Let us be faithful men who passed on our learning 
To hasten the time of His glorious appearing;
Until we reach the goal of His economy
Paying the price today for the prize in glory.

YOUR FAITHFUL CONTINUATION (67th-70th FTTMa Batch Hymn)

(Us)
D A
Beneath this mask—this smile I wear—
Bm F#m
Which tells the world that I’m okay,
G D
That I am strong and nothing in
Em A
My life can drag me down today,
D A
Beneath this mask hides loneliness,
Bm F#m
And questions: what is life all for?
G D
And worries and anxieties
Em A D
Like rain from heaven, pour and pour.

(Christ)
“Why do you struggle on your own?
Just come to Me, pour out and call,
The feeling of your weaknesses
I’m touched with—yet I conquered all.
As Spirit in your spirit I’m
Contactable, available,
I’ll make more home within your heart,
And heal by life your turbid soul.”

(Us)
Beneath this mask—this smile I wear—
I am a child longing for
A home where I feel safe and loved,
A people I can call my own,
Beneath this mask—a cry for help,
I’m drifting on a stormy sea,
I’m tossed about from wave to wave,
With no direction how to be.

(Christ)
“Why do you struggle on your own?
I’ll be your Good Samaritan,
I’ll pour the oil and the wine,
I’ll lead you to your home, the inn,
The household of the faith is where,
Your turbid soul will find true rest,
And I too find My resting place,
My Body, where I’m manifest."

Why Do You Struggle?

1 John 4:9-10

No Mortal Tongue Can E'er Describe

If You Wish To Find The Lord - w/Jen

“Well, you know one thing we talked about tonight during our overflow time was about how the Lord is the kingdom seed sown into our hearts (in Mark 4). And everything we go through is an opportunity presenting itself for that seed to grow. Our lives are filled with little decisions and lots of turnings, and we have the Lord within us to supply and dispense Himself. Actually, when we say dispensing it’s really from within spreading out. Like the seed is taking more root or sprouting upward - it’s not necessarily from something coming from outside.

It is hard to not be with the saints and hear their portions though. I’ll be praying for you in the midst of your busy schedule. At least it’s temporary and there will be a new season of refreshing coming. Until then, be where the Lord has placed you and we’ll pray for the increase of grace.”

Job 23:10
But He knows the way that I take; / Should He try me, I would come forth as gold.

1 Tim. 4:7-8
But the profane and old-womanish myths refuse, and exercise yourself unto godliness.
For bodily exercise is profitable for a little, but godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the present life and of that which is to come.

1 Pet. 1:6-7
In which time you exult, though for a little while at present, if it must be, you have been made sorrowful by various trials,
So that the proving of your faith, much more precious than of gold which perishes though it is proved by fire, may be found unto praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

2 Cor. 3:18
But we all with unveiled face, beholding and reflecting like a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord Spirit.

Happy Birthday Jessica!

*If you're not Jessica* You can replace her name with one of your companions. :)

I know you don't like birthdays, but here's a recording of the song we sing together maybe too much hehe.  <3 Thank you for being my companion. The Lord really gave me the best people to grow in life with. Let's continue to pursue Him! Love you.

Lyrics:

1
Two are better than one;
If I fall, then you can pick me up.
Two are better than one
To resist the enemy.
Three are better than two;
A three-fold cord’s not quickly broken.
(Insert name), I need you;
Be my companion.

Chorus
 God has placed me with you here,
My companions who are so dear.
Blend us, knit us, and build us up today.
Day by day you encourage me;
A foretaste of New Jerusalem I see.
I need you, my companion

2
We are running a race,
Pressing on each day toward the goal.
We are running a race;
Christ the prize we hold in view.
Fleeing youthful lusts,
But faith, love, peace, and righteousness pursue;
(Insert name), I need you.
Be my companion.

3
I’m an ear that can’t see;
There are many things that I can’t do.
You’re an eye that can’t hear;
See, I have my function too.
We’re an eye and an ear,
So we need arms and legs and pinky toes.
(Insert name), we need them;
We’re one living Body.

John 7:38
Believe into me (As the Scripture said)
Believe into me (As the Scripture said)
If you (If you)
Believe (believe) 
Believe into me 
Out of your innermost 
Out of your innermost being
Shall flow rivers of 
Living water 
Shall flow rivers of 
Living water 
Shall flow rivers of 
Living water

Now On the Last Day + John 7:38

1.
In these times of restlessness,
In these times of uncertainty,
When all we trusted has become
But sand and we sink helplessly,
Reaching out, a Rock we hold.
He is still and unshakable.
Eternally and silently,
He waited for us with love untold.

2.
How we think we have control
When all things go predictably,
But when waves crash, when storm winds blast,
We see our human frailty.
Then He’s always there to say,
“It is I, do not be afraid.”
It’s up to us to take Him in
Our boats, our lives, for Him ere to stay.

 	So that’s why we call, “O Lord Jesus!”
 	Desper’tely for peace inside
 	And peace He gives,
 	A peace beyond understanding.
 	And still then we call, “O Lord Jesus!”
 	Just to find the peace supplied
 	Is Christ Himself resting in our being.

Be My Companion!
