In the Clefts of the Rock (SofS 2:10-14)

1. In the clefts of the rock
I delight to be.
In the covert of the precipice
You would find me.
Lord, conform me now,
Daily to your death.
Let me see Your countenance,
I am a dove,
In the clefts of the rock.

2. My Beloved responds:
Rise up my love,
My beauty and come away;
The rain is gone.
The winter is past,
The time of singing has come.
Rise up and come away,
You are my dove,
In the clefts of the rock.

3. It’s just so difficult,
In these clefts to remain.
Naught but Your resurrection power
Could me sustain.
Now to Your call I respond,
From introspection to come.
Now and always, my Beloved,
I’d be Your dove,
In the clefts of the Rock.

In The Clefts Of The Rock

Dear Lord Throughout These Years

1
In the ebb and flow of life 
So much lies beyond my power
I’m left desperate and lost
Just surviving hour by hour
But the sweet reminders come 
that my Lord is far above
all my fears; and he is waiting for me now

C
Today I choose to cling to Him
The One who loves Me
Today I choose to praise my Lord
whose Blood’s released Me 
Not running from the past, with all its pain
Not running toward the future, with its gain
Today I choose to love and praise my Lord!

2
In my fellowship with Him
How He shines on what’s within
I’m a failure with no end
Yet the blood fails not to cleanse
Satan tries to make me doubt
Paralyze my growth in life
Yet his schemes have no success on me because...

3
Though the world still calls my name
and my love for it remains
The Lord draws me near to Him
Gently touching what I grip
Though I fail, He never will
He is faithful and I still
Put my trust in Him to carry me today.

Lyrics+Chords (updated)

      C                     F        G  C              
1. Through many conversations
                                F              G
Opening up to the Lord in all things
              Dm                 C
Whether big things or small
           G                          Am
He is touched with them all
            F              Dm      G
To dispense His supply therein. 
 
2.  Yet we await His speaking 
Giving Him the first place in all things 
As He moves in our heart,
All His burden imparts,
We become letters sealed with Him. 


Chorus:
                        F        G          C -Am 
Then we flow out--  just who we are
                      F           G              C   -Am
As who we are is increasingly Christ.
                  F         G               C             Am  -F
When we contact God in our mingled spirit 
                       G             C
We know His heart and mind.


3. The sense of life directs us
In His gentle anointing each day
As His life operates,
In the choices we make
We depend ever more on Him. 
 
4.  His written Word is living 
When we catch, with the Spirit, the flame
As we pray with His Word
Divine language is heard
And as rhema He motivates.

Through Many Conversations (with Zach Miner)

1. Who can ever know the feeling deep down in my heart?
Who can really understand my weakness to sustain?
When I have lost hope to carry on by myself,
Your person stands by me to be my hope and life.

Chorus: 
Your love so deep moving and sweet
How can I still stubborn be;
No more I struggle and strive,
Trust in Your faith and rest in Your breast.

2. When I feel the touch of Your hand upon my life,
I sense the flow of life flowing rich and free;
When You wipe away every tear in my eyes,
Sorrow has depart'd, behold a smiling face!

Who Can Ever Know the Feeling

Once it was the blessing,
Now it is the Lord;
Once it was the feeling,
Now it is His Word;
Once His gift I wanted,
Now, the Giver own;
Once I sought for healing,
Now Himself alone.

Chorus:
All in all forever,
Only Christ I’ll sing;
Everything is in Christ,
And Christ is everything.

Once ’twas painful trying,
Now ’tis perfect trust;
Once a half salvation,
Now the uttermost;
Once ’twas ceaseless holding,
Now He holds me fast;
Once ’twas constant drifting,
Now my anchor’s cast.

Once ’twas busy planning,
Now ’tis trustful prayer;
Once ’twas anxious caring,
Now He has the care;
Once ’twas what I wanted,
Now what Jesus says;
Once ’twas constant asking,
Now ’tis ceaseless praise.

Once it was my working,
His it hence shall be;
Once I tried to use Him,
Now He uses me;
Once the pow’r I wanted,
Now the Mighty One;
Once for self I labored,
Now for Him alone.

Once I hoped in Jesus,
Now I know He’s mine;
Once my lamps were dying,
Now they brightly shine;
Once for death I waited,
Now His coming hail;
And my hopes are anchored
Safe within the veil.

Once It Was The Blessing (Hymn 513)

Composed by M.C.

Lyrics:
  D			                 G                           A                            F#m       Bm
1.   Lord, Your virtues of faith, peace, life, light, and most of all Your love
         G                        A
Have opened up our hearts;
D 			                      G                    A              F#m    Bm
     Lord, every moment we long for the growth within  always,
     G                          A         D-D7
So come and fill us all our days.

(Chorus)      
G                      A        D      -    A   -   Bm
   Lord, loving You is all that we desire,
G                 A                    D-D7
   It's all we live, breathe for;
G                        A           F#m           Bm
   Our constant joy is to be in Your embrace
        G                          A           D
And waiting for Your coming day.
 
2. Keep our hearts ever fresh, soft, pure, unreserved for only You,
Pervade in all our lives;
Lord, it's our yearning for You to make home within our hearts,
Do saturate us every part.
 
3. 'Tis Your mercy and grace as Your lovers we're preserved in Your
Recovery today;
Lord, keep us faithful to You to the end to run the race,
Until we see You face to face.

Loving You is All That We Desire

I was reading through the 3rd book of Psalms (Psalms 84) , when a prayer came up in me. 
"Lord, I don't know what you need to do through this situation, but I pray that it gets done quickly. Use me for that purpose. Use all who are willing." 
-----------------------
Our goal is God Himself. 
In me there was a realization that God doesn't care so much about what we ask, but why we ask for such things. What is our intention? Yes we want protection from the virus, but why? 
Yes, Lord I want to know you, but why?
I ask that the next time you make a request to the Lord, just consider what the goal of your request is. That what I've been learning to do.
---------------------
At any cost dear Lord, by any road. 
Realizing this made a huge difference. The Christian life isn't supposed to be Cushy. It's a mirror of the life that Jesus lived. Didn't matter if it was right or wrong. Didn't matter if it hurt or not. Didn't matter if it was fair. 
 The only thing that mattered was if Christ was with me. 
---------------------
My goal is God Himself, not joy, nor peace,
Nor even blessing, but Himself, my God;
’Tis His to lead me there—not mine, but His—
At any cost, dear Lord, by any road.
So faith bounds forward to its goal in God,
And love can trust her Lord to lead her there;
Upheld by Him, my soul is following hard
Till God hath full fulfilled my deepest prayer.
No matter if the way be sometimes dark,
No matter though the cost be oft-times great,
He knoweth how I best shall reach the mark,
The way that leads to Him must needs be strait.
One thing I know, I cannot say Him nay;
One thing I do, I press towards my Lord;
My God my glory here, from day to day,
And in the glory there my great Reward.
-------------------------------
