1
I once denied the love of God and walked away.
I turned my back on Him;
I thought that I could live my life and leave Him there,
Denying Him within.

chorus
But the Lord turned within my spirit
And He kissed me with kisses of love.
Now I'll shout to all who can hear it,
"I love Him, Jesus Christ my Lord."

2
My heart was hard, my eyes were closed, I didn't see
The hold He had on me.
So trying the world and other things to find myself,
I just found misery.

chorus
Then the Lord turned within my spirit
And He kissed me with kisses of love.
Now I'll shout to all who can hear it,
"I love Him, Jesus Christ my Lord."

3
His conquering love was stronger than my stubborn will,
Yet gentle like a dove.
Like a wax before a glowing fire He melts the heart;
I could not fight His love.

chorus
When the Lord turned within my spirit
And He kisses with kisses of love.
Then my songs and my praises are flowing,
"I love Thee, Jesus Christ my Lord."

I Once Denied the Love of God

I Have Come to the Fountain of Life

1
Once a sinner, now I’m saved;
Still, I lack in many ways.
Lord, it feels like nothing has changed.
Patient, yet I cannot wait;
Loving, yet not void of hate;
Lord, I don’t want to stay the same.
Thought I had to come up with my own solutions,
But You’re showing me the way to take.

Chorus:
I don’t have to know my complications;
I just need to grow in the Lord,
Enjoying Him day by day,
Pursuing Him with the saints,
Absorbing Him just as a branch would in the vine.
There’s no need for me to struggle and to strive;
Just to grow in life.

2
Eating Your word when I wake,
Nothing should get in the way;
Calling ceaselessly on Your name.
Meeting You with all the saints,
Feasting on Your boundless grace,
Praising as I call it a day.
I’ve let go of all religious regulations;
Found a new, enjoying way to take.

Just to Grow in Life

O How Deep and How Far Reaching

God the Creator

1. Hear the Lord, He’s calling onward;
Heed His Word, His cry is upward.
Each day we climb a little higher;
To carry on we need to take a deeper breath.

2. See the Lord is not far from you;
He will not only bear it with you.
No need to struggle any longer;
He wants to be the very one to take your place.

CHORUS: All we need is in the breath—
Love and light, peace and rest.
Count the cost, pay the price,
Receive the gift of eternal life.
Call, “Oh Lord!” Let Him in and just love Him.

3. The ordinary’s what He’s after;
However small to Him, it matters.
To be your all He’s more than willing;
Only requires us to lean on the Beloved.

4. Day by day we grow into Christ,
Permeated at the speed of life.
Get more God, be more human;
Let His light shine from within.
More of Him, we decrease—
This our blessed destiny,
To reign in life as His Bride; we just love Him.

Just Love Him

But I, I will most gladly spend
And be utterly spent on behalf of your souls.
But I, I will most gladly spend
And be utterly spent on behalf of your souls.

If I love you more abundantly, more abundantly,
Am I loved less?
If I love you more abundantly, more abundantly,
But let it be so!

2 Corinthians 12:15-16a (with Faith Valverde)

1. Just one touch as He moves along,
Pushed and pressed by the jostling throng,
Just one touch and the weak was strong,
Cured by the Healer divine.
CHORUS:
Just one touch as He passes by,
He will list to the faintest cry.
Come and be cured while the Lord is nigh,
Christ is the Healer divine.
2. Just one touch! and He makes me whole,
Speaks sweet peace to my sin-sick soul,
At His feet all my burdens roll,
Cured by the Healer divine.
3. Just one touch! and the work is done,
I am cured by the blessed Son,
I will sing while the ages run,
Cured by the Healer divine.
4. Just one touch! and He turns to me,
O the love in His eyes I see!
I am His for He hears my plea,
Cured by the Healer divine.
5. Just one touch! by His mighty power
He can heal thee this very hour,
Thou canst hear though the tempests low’r,
Cured by the Healer divine.

Just One Touch / (Will's Tune)

The Lord does not delay
Concerning the promise
As some count delay
But is long-suffering toward you
Not intending that anyone perish
But that all advance
Unto repentance
Second Peter 3:9
