1. I’m learning how to spend time with the Lord.
Beginning to believe not how I feel.
But trusting in the Lord’s accomplishments,
His sovereignty. (Proclaim: “Yes, Lord, I see“)
Why are you still defeated, little one?
As if I’m not the all-inclusive One.
Believing that I am, just look away,
Away to Me.

2. We certainly will fail time after time.
At times we’re too ashamed to turn again,
Just stop and breathe yourself out on the Lord,
And breathe Him in. (Proclaim: “Oh, Lord!“)
When there’s no rest in me, He is my rest.
When there’s no peace around, His peace is best.
We know Him through His word, the Spirit brings
Reality.

3. Present your body, in His presence stay.
He’s faithful and adept all to arrange.
He’s writing His own history today,
Give Him the way. (Proclaim: “Lord, today!“)
He’s always there to give us what we need.
Our oldness turns to newness—He’s the Spring!
He turns our deadness to enlivening
By dispensing.

4. So put your introspective mind at ease,
He calls us, “Look away and feast with Me!”
Don’t try to analyze so many things.
Love and believe. (Proclaim: “Yes, we believe!“)
So call on Him, your open spirit bring,
Not busy with so many outward deeds.
His Body’s rich supply and covering
Will guard our being.

5. Don’t be afraid to give yourself to Him.
Remaining whole and guarded, we miss Him.
The Body’s life supply the members bring,
While opening. (Proclaim: “We open, Lord!“)
I need the other members; they need me.
We take the loving way excellingly.
His love is the unique enduring thing
To make us Him.

I’m Learning How To Spend Time With The Lord

NZ National Highschoolers' Training 2024

Fill my spirit up

1. O Love, that wilt not let me go,
I rest my weary soul in Thee;
I give Thee back the life I owe,
That in Thine ocean depths its flow
May richer, fuller be.

2. O Light, that followest all my way,
I yield my flickering torch to Thee;
My heart restores its borrowed ray,
That in Thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.

3. O Joy, that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to Thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be.

4. O Cross, that liftest up my head,
I dare not ask to fly from Thee;
I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
And from the ground there blossoms red
Life that shall endless be.

Consider Our Ways (TOALT 26th) - Cavite Trainees

1 
My Solomon (1:1-2)
You're so affectionate 
With the kisses of - Your mouth.
Draw me to Yourself

Dearest King (1:3-4)
The virgins all love you 
But I've been brought forth 
To enter in Your chambers now.

Fairest one (1:5)
I'm black in my own eyes 
But comely in Your sight 
Why, I'll never understand.

You're a cluster of henna flowers to me 
Blooming in the vineyards of Engedi.

2 
My Shulammite (1:1)
 This is the Song of Songs 
Which belongs to Me 
I share it all with you - So come away now!

Country girl (1:9) 
Fairest of the fair
 My intimate friend 
You know what's in my heart.

Little mare (1:11)
We've worked in you crown 
Lovely golden braids
 Filled with studs of silver.

You're a flower among thorns to Me 
Among the daughters you are My lily.

(Bridge)
So as the winter trials start, 
And when idleness frosts my heart 
My beloved says to me, 
Come away
I'll come away

3
My belov'd (1:13)
Hold me in your arms 
Lie between my breasts
 You're beautiful my love.

O My dove (1:15-16) 
You're beautiful to Me! 
Oh, you are beautiful! 
Beautiful, indeed.

Mingled now (1:16-17)
Indeed our bed is green 
We've found our place of rest
Our mutual abode.

Here I always will give you my love (7:12)
O come quickly, make haste my belov'd. (8:14)

My Solomon - My Shulammite (Song of Songs) - PB&J

To those who feel hopeless, there is yet a "sunrising"  that we can hope!

1. We believers should follow the sunrising
Follow the sunrising to be revived,
And to have a new beginning,
A new beginning every morning;
Everyday we need a "sunrising"
And this is our revival.
We need to follow the sunrising—
Waiting for new beginning!

2. In the morning we enjoy Christ's shining,
Receiving His healing and enlivening (Mal 4:2)
If we love Him with our being,
We'll be like the sun in its rising! (Jdg 5:31)
Everyday we behold His shining,
And we'll be just like Him.
We need to follow the sunrising—
Yearning for His appearing!
