Looking away. Looking away. From the things all around. Jesus we look away unto You.

1. Since I opened my heart to You
From the first time, until now;
I am realizing more
How small I am,
How little I know,
How much I need in You to grow.

2. And Jesus how great You are;
Oh Jesus, most excellent by far!
Only You can satisfy,
Lord Your name be magnified.
Oh Jesus, how excellent You are!  

3. So day by day help me open more;
Lord dig away all that blocks You.
Drop by drop, may Your life in me increase,
Till just You—are in view,
I pursue!

Since I Opened My Heart To You

I Love God

If God Leads You

Eat God!

Ecclesiastes 3:11

The Lord is Rich (w/ Easter)

1. Take time to receive Him—the blessing’s outpoured,
And we may obtain it by reading His Word;
We bask in the splendour of His healing light,
And light becomes life, as in Him we delight.
2. Take time to absorb Him, to gain the supply,
That we may be watered and nourished thereby;
The deeper the roots spread, the deeper the flow,
And richer and higher within us He’ll grow.
3. Take time to inhale Him—His Word we may breathe;
By breathing it, God’s very life we receive—
He breathes Himself out so that we may breathe in
The life, the reality, fullness of Him.
4. Take time to enjoy Him, our portion is He:
Our present, available reality;
Our practical, real, and enjoyable Lord
Is everything to us through His living Word.
5. Take time to behold Him, gaze oft on His face,
Receiving His Person, and grace upon grace.
By His pleasant shining, infused we will be;
Our faces will glow with His light, radiantly.

Take Time To Absorb Him

D A Bm G

The heart is deceitful
Above all things
Who can know it?
Who can know it?

I, Jehovah
Search the heart
And test the inward parts
Even to give each one
According to his ways
According to the fruit of his deeds
According to his ways.

Jeremiah 17:9-10 (The Heart is Deceitful)

You've become lovely to me, 
So beautiful and sweet.

Beautiful and sweet. 
Though I do not know why,

How I ravished Your heart. 

4. This is our story of love: 
You were all - 
Alone. I, too needed Someone, 
To save me from a life, 
Of sin and misery, 
Into mutuality; 
The romance divine.
