1. Maybe dull and ordinary
And as usual, necessarily,
You need to attend to your responsibility.
Yet the Lord knows ‘tis a training.
While the sheep grows, you are growing
For His kingdom soon He needs another king.

Yet while Jesse sees but a shepherd boy
God has seen a king, God has chosen a king.
He has sovereignly arranged all persons, matters and things
Small things, big things in our daily life
You know that He is there!
Selected and preparing you
Though seemed He’s hiding and behind the scenes.

2. There the prophet, God has sent him.
Jesse’s sons would pass before Him.
To anoint the new chosen king of Israel
Yet they all the Lord rejected.
Where’s the eighth son and the youngest?
Oh, yes! He is in the field tending the sheep!

Yet while Samuel looks at person outwardly
God looks at your heart, He looks inwardly
He is searching from the deepest part He knows your every need
Though your parents have forgotten you
He knows and He is there!
Preserving and perfecting you
Though seemed He’s hiding and behind the scenes.

3. One day everyone was trembling
When Goliath showed up daring
And defies the rank of God, His name would put to shame.
Yet this young man could not bear it
That His God was being insulted
So he stood up with a stone the giant killed!

Yet while others shudder with this giant’s size
For him it’s the same, like the lion and bear 
He would fight the battle of the Lord while trusting in Him
From his shepherding experience
We know the Lord is here
Preserving and perfecting you
To make you ready to reign with Him.

Yet while Jesse sees but a shepherd boy
God has seen a king, God has chosen a king.
He has sovereignly arranged all persons, matters and things
Small things, big things in our daily life
You know that He is there!
Preserving and perfecting you
To make you ready to reign with Him.

13 Hebrews Medley

dear Lord throughout these years

Contacting God

Matthew 16:18

how sweet the name of Jesus sounds

oh dear Lord, have Your way

1. Don't you know? Don't you know? 
Jesus Christ is in you. 
He is near, He is here -
He is in you! 
He's within, speak to Him. 
Pour out your love on Him. 
He is waiting for you to speak to Him. 

Chorus 
Tell Him you love Him! Oh, just love Him! 
He is this wonderful Person in you!
Don't forget, don't forget, 
That you are not alone, 
And then through you, 
His life will be made known. 

2. Don't forget, don't forget, 
That the Lord is in you. 
He's not far like the stars, 
No, He's in you. 
If you fall, just recall: 
There's a Person in you. 
Then with His strength you will rise up anew.

There Is A River
(Capo 2)
 C                 G                    Am
1. There is a river flowing from the throne
C                     G                          Am
You know it flows to you and me
C                G                    Bb-F
There is a river flowing in us all
           Am            G       C     C7
And it flows to eternity
Chorus:
     F
So come on all you people
                 Am		      G
There’s a choice for you to make
Am7                                               G
Choose life, and know that it’ll suffice.
C                G                   Bb-F
There is a river who is flowing still
         Am               G         C
And His name is Jesus Christ.

2. There is a river and it washes you
Frees you from all your worldly chains
There is a river and it will not cease
Until only Christ remains.
Chorus:
So come on all you people
There’s a place where you can go
Freely come, without money without price
There is a river who has paid it all
His name is Jesus Christ


3. There is a river and it has a goal
To make us gold and precious stones
Stay in the river and enjoy the flow
So our God can gain His home
Chorus:
So come on all you people
Set your eyes upon the prize
The built-up church, the dwelling place of God
There is a river flowing towards the goal
         C               G         C         Am
The corporate Jesus Christ.
         C               G         C
The corporate Jesus Christ.

Looking At You, Lord, You're All I Need

DON’T ALLOW ME

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.

Dont Allow Me To Choose(Instrumental)

I HAVE TRIED TO LIVE ALONE

1. I have tried to live alone
But I just cannot move along;
Days apart from You seemed
A thousand-year of discipline to me.

All I can do is to sigh
Every time I lose Your smile;
When Your face is hidden from me,
All my days have turned to nights.

You’re all I need.
You’re what I seek;
What my soul is craving for
I found everything in You.

2. I thought it would be just enough
To love You e’en without the church;
Days without the church-life seemed
An outer darkness taste today.

It seemed I left my family
Like a child who ran away;
Wand’ring days while worldly influence
Have carried me away.

Oh, church my home
I’ll no longer roam;
I would never, never leave you
Never, never live alone.

3. I no longer trust myself.
Even my burning intent
Lord, without Your mercy and Your grace
I wouldn’t have been preserved.

In the Body, though I’m weak
From all dangers I am kept.
All my wandering days have come to end,
What realm it is to live!

You’re one with me
I’m one with You;
We are mutual dwelling place
From now unto eternity.

I HAVE TRIED TO LIVE ALONE (with FTTMa Trainees)

Our Destiny Forever
1 Thessalonian 1:10 note 1

Because we are awaiting
the Son of God from the heavens,
our future is focused on Him. 
Our life declares
that we have no hope on this earth 
no positive destiny in this age,
that our hope is the coming Lord, 
our destiny forever. 

Our hope is the coming Lord, 
our destiny forever 
May this govern, holds, and keeps
 our Christian life for the church life.

Our hope is Your coming Lord, 
our destiny forever 
May this govern, holds, and keeps
 our Christian life for the church life.

Our Destiny Forever

I Lay My Isaac Down
(Gen. 21-22)

1.	Dear Lord I lay my Isaac down
Though not like Abraham,
Not as obedient as he was.
You have rejected all of my Ishmaels.
And still requires my only one;
Whom You have given me.

2.	I offer You my Isaac now
Though he’s so precious
And seemed the only one I have;
You have provided and You can take again;
It’s up to You; my only plea
Lord, have Your way in me.

3.	I give to You my Isaac, though
My heart is torn apart
Bring him to resurrection life;
All days of waiting have turned rejoicing,
As I surrender him to You,
You gave him back to me.

4.	Return to You my Isaac’s vow,
And then like Abraham,
Fulfill that covenant to us.
As You have promised, make me a blessing
Bring us to Promised Land of rest,
To share and join the feast!
