Blessed are those who fail
Blessed are those who fall
This is God's sovereign way
That He would become our all
Through failure we can know God
Experience and enjoy him

Thank You Lord that You
Allow me to fail
I was dead but now I live
Praise You for not always letting me prevail
Though my heart be broken,
My spirit be broken,
Make these failures precious and sweet to me

As the younger son
I was lost but found again
As the Father, You
Waited for me to return
Together we’re rejoicing
Your riches and love now reach me




From the Book: God's Need and God's Goal
Chapter: Failures Enabling Man to Enjoy more of God


Blessed are those who fail

Has the wine run dry so soon?
I have barely tasted it;
Long before my tongue has quenched its thirst,
Has the wine run dry?

I have spent my final dime
On the thing I thought would last,
But as soon as I held it, it slipped away,
Now I'm still so dry.

I have climbed the highest peak;
Took me twenty years to train;
As I reached the top, I looked around and all I saw:
Vanity that's all.

I have probed the greatest minds,
I've believed in every cause,
But my heart won't hear philosophy or reasonings,
Left again dissatisfied.

Took me too, too long to see
That this world's all vanity;
I've been through too much to just pretend it's all okay;
Give me reality.

On my deepest, darkest night,
On my knees I cried aloud,
Someone came to me, he changed my death to eternal life,
Gave me meaning, reason to live.

I will call upon His name,
I will draw this well and drink;
When I call His name, Jesus Lord, the waters flow;
That's the name I love.

All this time it was just Him,
He has saved the best for last;
Now I've finally found the wine that won't run dry.
And He's the sweetest wine of all.

I gave Myself up for her
Em            C
She is My mystery

Flesh of My flesh
                 D                         Em
This time, this time she is Mine

Let Me Love Thee (#369)

C-G-Am-F (x2)
Dm-Em-Am
F-G-C

O Lord, Thy boundless love to me
No thought can reach, no tongue declare
Oh, knit my thankful heart to Thee
And reign without a rival there
Thine wholly, Thine alone I am
Lord, with Thy love my heart inflame


Oh, grant that nothing in my soul
May dwell but Thy pure love alone
Oh, may Thy love possess me whole
My joy, my treasure, and my crown
All coldness from my heart remove
May every act, word, thought, be love

O Love, how cheering is Thy ray,
All pain before Thy presence flies
Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away
Where'er Thy healing beams arise
Lord Jesus, nothing may I see,
An naught desire, or seek, but Thee.


Tune by Juanito

Blessed are those who fail
