Melody of Lilies—All Songs

The God of the New Testament is personal and experiential; He is "the Father of compassions and God of all comfort" (2 Cor. 1:3-7). 

We collaborated with NYCYPCD to record this album—mostly comprised of our songs but with a few songs by others as well—in the hope that these tracks will minister the one true comfort—the God of all comfort—to those who are passing through the trials, pressures, hardships, and sufferings of human life.

We're happy to have received permission to share these recordings with you!

The Comfort Abounds

Trust And Believe

We Do Not Lose Heart

In Nothing Be Anxious

There Is Someone

When we were unbelievers, we lived in sins and “according to the age of this world” (Ephesians 2:1-2). At first glance, it may not seem like a bad thing to live according to the present age. After all, isn’t it normal to live as everyone else lives and do what everyone else does?

However, God has called His believers to bear the image not of the present age but of His Son: “Those whom He foreknew, He also predestinated to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the Firstborn among many brothers” (Romans 8:29). As children of God, we should have the same expression as our older brother, the Lord Jesus!

Concerning the age we live in, 1 John 5:19 says, “The whole world lies in the evil one.” If we as believers walk according to this age, we will be indistinguishable from the unbelievers. Rather than bearing a testimony of light, we will simply be one more factor of darkness.

The words of this song are from Romans 12:2, where the apostle Paul appeals to us to stand apart from this age: “And do not be fashioned according to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of the mind that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and well pleasing and perfect.”

Rather than being fashioned, conformed, to this age, we should be transformed by the renewing of the mind. We are old, of the old creation; Christ is new, the factor that makes us a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17).

By contacting Christ as the life-giving Spirit, our mind is renewed from the old thoughts that inundate us day by day. This produces a gradual change, or transformation, within us as our old element is carried away and the new element of God is added to our being.

Ultimately, this process of transformation will lead to there being many sons of God conformed to the image of the Firstborn Son of God, living together in the Body of Christ to express Him. This is the good, well pleasing, and perfect will of God!

The text of Romans 12:2 is quoted from the Recovery Version of the Bible, published by Living Stream Ministry (used by permission).

Do Not Be Fashioned According to This Age (Romans 12:2)

About 700 years before Christ’s birth, the prophet Isaiah wrote, “The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon Me, / Because Jehovah has anointed Me / To bring good news to the afflicted; / He has sent Me to bind up the wounds of the brokenhearted, / To proclaim liberty to the captives, / And the opening of the eyes to those who are bound” (Isaiah 61:1).

This prophecy was fulfilled centuries later in Nazareth of Galilee in ancient Israel. One Sabbath day, the Lord Jesus entered the local synagogue and was handed the scroll of Isaiah’s writings. He opened to 61:1-2, read it aloud, and told those in attendance, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing” (Luke 4:16-21).

This announcement was the proclaiming of the jubilee, which, in Old Testament times, occurred every fiftieth year. In the Old Testament jubilee, slaves were released from bondage, and each family’s allotted portion of the good land was restored to them. The year of jubilee in the Old Testament is a picture of the entire New Testament age, the age of grace, when God’s salvation is freely available to anyone who believes in Jesus Christ!

The one making the announcement was anointed by God. An anointed person is one who is chosen and sent to accomplish a certain task. The literal meaning of the word Christ is “the anointed One.”

Jesus Christ was anointed by God not only to accomplish redemption for us but also to carry out the wonderful commission in Isaiah 61:1-2. He takes away our sins, but He also releases us from the bondage of sin by giving us His life, heals our broken hearts, and opens our eyes, which were blinded by Satan’s deception, to see the wonderful truth in God’s Word!

If you haven’t yet received the jubilee proclaimed by the Lord Jesus, you can do so by praying this simple prayer:

“Lord Jesus, I believe in You. I confess that I am a sinner. Thank You for coming as the Christ to die for my sins and to proclaim the jubilee. Come into me to be my life. Release me from all the things that bind and afflict me. Open my eyes to see all that You have done for me.”

The text of Isaiah 61:1 is quoted from the Recovery Version of the Bible, published by Living Stream Ministry (used by permission).

The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah Is Upon Me (Isaiah 61:1)

The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah Is upon Me (Isaiah 61:1)

Although God’s heart toward us is unchanging (James 1:17), our hearts often change.

Is your heart soft toward the Lord?

One day, we listen when the Lord prompts us to do (or stop doing) something; another day, we insist on making our own choice.

Is your heart pure toward the Lord?

When we’re inspired, we run after the Lord with all our heart; when inspiration fades, pursuing the Lord takes second place to our other goals.

Is your love for the Lord burning?

Sometimes we’re full of love for Him; at other times, our hearts are cold, uninterested in the things of God. At still other times, we may be lukewarm, indifferent toward God.

Is your heart at peace before God?

Although the Lord lives in our spirit, our sins and failures grieve Him and interrupt our fellowship with Him. We must confess our sin to the Lord and be cleansed by His blood in order to maintain our fellowship with Him.

Ultimately, the Lord wants to build up our hearts into a condition in which we’re steadfast before Him, occupied with Him, saturated with Him, and looking forward to His return. First Thessalonians 3:13 says, “So that He may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.”

This song is a prayer seeking the Lord for the condition of our heart—to have a heart soft, pure, loving, at peace, and eventually established blameless in holiness. May the Lord grant us all such a heart!

Grant Me, O Lord

Romans 8:28 says, “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”

In reading this wonderful verse, it’s important to keep in mind—according to the context of the verse—what “good” refers to. It’s not the good of material or soulish blessings that we may want the Lord to give us; it’s the good of becoming full-grown sons of God.

It’s that we would be “conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the Firstborn among many brothers” (v. 29). God faithfully works all things, arranging our circumstances and environments, so that we would grow as believers unto full maturity, together expressing Christ on the earth as His Body.

This process isn’t always comfortable. But if our vision is clear, we can bridge the disconnect between what we naturally think of as “good” and the good of the fulfillment of God’s purpose.

Then, we can speak to the Lord in the words of this song our resolution: “I choose to remain under Your dispensing.”

We choose to remain, to abide, in the Lord and in His love (John 15:4-5, 9). We choose to contact God in His Word, day by day. We choose to open to the Lord’s supply of Himself as grace and to live in His presence.

If we open to Him, trusting in His loving heart toward us, He will grow in us gradually, little by little, bringing us on to maturity as full-grown sons of God.

I Choose to Remain

In Revelation chapters 2 and 3, the Spirit speaks to seven churches in seven letters. Each church (except one) has its own particular shortcomings, signs of the corruption that has plagued the church since biblical times.

In each situation, however, the Lord calls for some among the believers to overcome the degraded situation in order to meet the His need for a bright, shining lampstand—the testimony of Jesus in this dark world.

Many believers aspire to cooperate with the Lord to be such overcomers. At the same time, we’re acutely aware of our fallen, sinful nature, our failures, and our inability to follow the Lord absolutely.

How can we ever overcome?

The lyrics of this song emphasize one simple point—Christ is the unique Overcomer. He is in us, and when we contact Him in our spirit, we are overcoming. When we look at overcoming as a lifelong venture, we wonder if we can make it. But each one of us can turn to the Lord right now, contact Him as the Overcomer right now, and be overcoming—right now!

Revelation 12:11 says, “And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they loved not their soul-life even unto death.” Here, the overcomers triumph over the devil because they stand not on their own merit but on the Lord’s blood that cleanses them from every sin, and because they testify of the Lord’s victory over the devil.

First John 4:4 says, “You are of God, little children; and you have overcome them because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.” We have been born of God to be His children; Christ as the overcoming One is in us, and He is greater than the evil one and all who stand with him.

Romans 8:37 says, “But in all these things we more than conquer through Him who loved us.” The Lord has done everything for us. We can overcome in every situation not because of who we are, but because we are in Him and He is in us!

When we contact Christ as the unique Overcomer, we are overcoming RIGHT NOW!

Make Me an Overcomer

Hebrews 12:1-2 encourages us to run the Christian race: “Therefore let us also, having so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, put away every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us and run with endurance the race which is set before us, looking away unto Jesus, the Author and Perfecter of our faith.”*

The Amplified Bible translates verse 2 like this: “Looking away from all that will distract us and focusing our eyes on Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of faith.”**

Look Away unto Jesus

Christ is the tree of life! Here's a recording of young people in the southeast singing our new song at a retreat in North Carolina this weekend (4/14 - 4/16/2023).

1. In the beginning we can see
God placed man in front of two different trees—
The tree of life and the tree of
Knowledge of good and evil.

One leads to life by eating Him.
And the other leads to deadness and sin.
So, feed on Christ! Don’t be satisfied with
Being good and legal.

CHORUS:
Christ
Is the Tree of Life.
He’s our life-supply.
Let’s choose the way of life!
Take Him in
By enjoying Him!
Open deep within.
And on His life depend.
(End: Eat the tree of life!) 

2. Now everyone can feast on Him!
Open deeply and be filled to the brim!
Partake of Christ as the tree of Life.
Express Him together.

Give Christ the first place in our hearts.
As we love Him all His Life He imparts.
In spirit He fills eternally!
Satisfied forever!

Christ Is the Tree of Life

Christ Is the Tree of Life (Southeast YP conference)

Among all the trees in the garden of Eden, only two are mentioned by name: (1) the tree of life and (2) the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2:9). These two trees represent two principles by which a Christian can live: (1) the principle of life and (2) the principle of good and evil.

Eating the tree of the knowledge of good and evil results in death (Genesis 2:17), and the devil is the source of death (Hebrews 2:14). Christ is the source of life (John 11:25, 14:6); He came that we may have life (John 10:10; Colossians 3:4); and He even presented Himself as a vine (John 15:5)—a low-growing, accessible, fruit-bearing tree!

Today, every Christian is like a miniature “garden of Eden.” According to Romans 8:6, our mind is between two choices—just like Adam and Eve in the garden. If we choose to set our mind on the flesh, the result is death. If we choose to set our mind on our human spirit, where Christ dwells (Romans 8:10, 16), the result is life and peace!

Contacting Christ as life in our human spirit is the way to eat Him as the tree of life (John 6:57; Revelation 2:7). At the end of the Bible, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil is gone, but the tree of life is an eternal enjoyment to the believers in the New Jerusalem (Revelation 22:14).

This song was written for a youth conference in April 2023. Thanks to the “little lilies” in our local youth group for recording with us!

Universal Love

It’s impossible to pass through human life without being hurt or offended. Such offenses may leave us wounded—bitter, angry, full of hate.

Yet God loves the world—every human being (John 3:16). He causes the sun to rise on the evil as well as the good (Matt. 5:45), and He charges us to love not only our fellow believers (John 13:34) but even our enemies (Matt. 5:44).

First John 3:14 says, “We know that we have passed out of death into life because we love the brothers.” This transfer from death to life happens once for all when we believe in the Lord.

But the verse continues: “He who does not love abides in death.” This refers to a believer who, in their Christian walk, because of some offense, does not love—perhaps even hates—a fellow believer.

When we are wounded, we may end up in spiritual death and darkness because we’re hating a brother (1 John 3:14; 2:11). But if we allow the Lord within us—the One who loved us and gave His life for us even when we were His enemies (Gal. 2:20; Rom. 5:10)—to infuse us with Himself as love to forgive others, we can pass once more out of death into life.

Please note—to forgive does not mean to condone abuse or return to an abusive situation. We can let go of an offense and no longer have any significant relationship with the offender. If you are experiencing or have experienced physical or emotional abuse, we encourage you to seek help from a trained mental health professional in addition to opening to the Lord.

To learn more about 1 John 3:14, we recommend reading the footnotes on this verse in the Recovery Version of the Bible, published by Living Stream Ministry.

This is the last of the eight songs we prepared for the North America College Training in July 2023.

Like "Mercy unto Me," this isn't a new song. It's a Scripture song that H.J. and a college classmate, J.L., wrote a long time ago for 1 Corinthians 13:4-8a. It's a fitting conclusion to this collection of songs on love, the "most excellent way" (1 Cor. 12:31). Love prevails!

This song applies verses from the Old Testament book of Judges—which speak of a different kind of resolution—to our experience as believers today.

In Judges 4, the children of Israel had been taken over by another people. The Lord delivered them from their oppression through the prophetess Deborah and the military leader Barak. In preparing for the battle that freed them, Judges 5 mentions that among the divisions of Reuben (one of the tribes of Israel) there were “great resolutions of heart” (v. 15) and “great searchings of heart” (v. 16). Many among the people of Israel “offered themselves willingly” (vv. 2, 9) to the Lord to meet the need of His people.

The times we are living in give many of us the sense that we are in the last days before the Lord’s coming. The Lord’s need and the need of His people are great. Our prayer is that God’s people would have great resolutions in heart to consecrate themselves to Him for the accomplishment His eternal purpose.

The Bible states clearly and repeatedly that God created us as vessels and that He Himself wants to be our content. Just as a potter has absolute authority over the clay he shapes on his potting wheel, so God as our Potter has absolute authority over us, His creatures (see Jeremiah 18:1-6 and Romans 9:20-23).

When we believe in Christ Jesus, He comes into our human spirit and fills us with Himself. According to 2 Corinthians 4:7, Christ in us is the “treasure in earthen vessels,” and Romans 9:23 says that we are “vessels of mercy.”

We are vessels of mercy not because we sought God or because we are better or try harder than others; we are vessels of mercy because God loved us and chose us, even before the foundation of the world. Romans 9:16 says, “It is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy.”

Now, we may be “vessels unto honor” by pursuing Christ with other believers (2 Timothy 2:20-22). May we all pursue Christ to be filled with Him!

The lyrics for this song were taken from ministry materials for a conference on the Old Testament book of Jeremiah given in June 2020.

It’s a wonderful thing for sinners to believe in the Lord Jesus and receive Him as their Savior. But as soon as we receive the Lord, we may feel pressure to be a certain way in order to to please God or to show others that we’re a proper Christian. Inevitably, we realize that we can’t meet the standard we’ve set up for ourselves, and we get discouraged.

Actually, God created us as vessels so that we can be filled with Him as our content. Referring to the Lord Jesus, 2 Corinthians 4:7 says, “We have this treasure in earthen vessels.” When we’re filled with the Lord, every aspect of our Christian living flows out of His life within us.

The best way to be a Christian is to not to try to behave in a certain way, but to be filled with the Lord by loving Him, calling on His name, and allowing Him to make His home in our heart (Ephesians 3:17). It may sound crazy to tell the Lord a thousand times a day that we love Him, but if you try it, you’ll see the fruit of it in your daily living!

You Are the Way

We face decisions every day, big and small, and many times we don’t know which way we should take. Sometimes we find ourselves in unexpected situations—perhaps difficult, painful, or bewildering—things that seem to cast doubt over all our thoughts of the future and leave us fearful, stressed, and anxious.

As believers in Christ, even when we feel like we’re groping in the darkness, we can still look to the Lord Jesus as our way, as our light, and as our supply.

Isaiah 50:10 says, “Let him who walks in darkness and has no light trust in the name of the Lord and rely on his God.”

Even more, in John 14:6, Jesus said, “I am the way and the reality and the life.”

When we don’t know what path to choose, we can cling to Him as our Way. In the words of this song, He is in us, “just waiting for me to say, I love You, Lord.” When we turn to the Lord in this way, He is grace to us and leads us on.

We’ve all done it—something bad happens, and our first reaction is to say, “Oh no!” But what if we replaced “Oh no!” with “O Lord!”?

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with saying “Oh no!” But when we call “O Lord,” something takes place within us that will never happen with any other exclamation—we contact the Lord Jesus in our spirit and experience Him in the midst of whatever we’re going through.

When we first believed in the Lord Jesus, we were saved in a once-for-all way; now, we can never be condemned by God. But the Lord also wants to save us in a daily way, and we can begin to experience this kind of salvation just by learning to call on His name.

Romans 10:12-13 says, “The same Lord is Lord of all and rich to all who call upon Him; for whoever calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” The apostle Paul, who wrote these verses in Romans, passed through many hardships—for example, he was beaten, stoned, shipwrecked, and imprisoned.

While in prison, he wrote, “I know that for me this will turn out to salvation through your petition and the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ” (Philippians 1:19). Paul was confident that his terrible situation would turn out to salvation because the believers were praying and because he was contacting the Lord.

Hallelujah, we can be saved in any situation by calling on the Lord!

Don't Say, "Oh No!"

Most of us have heard some form of the saying, “Make every day count.” For an athlete, that means, “Exercise every day.” For a musician, it means, “Practice your instrument.” But what does it mean for a Christian?

When we believe in the Lord Jesus, our sins are forgiven. But something even more amazing also happens—the Lord Jesus comes into our deepest part, our spirit, causing us to be born with God’s life as children of God (Romans 8:16; John 1:12).

As newborn believers, we all start out as “babes” (1 Peter 2:2), and throughout our Christian life, we need to grow. As we grow, the Lord makes His home in our hearts (Ephesians 3:17)—in other words, He spreads from our spirit into our soul so that we match Him in what we think, how we feel about things, and in the choices we make.

So, as Christians, our days count when we contact the Lord and finish the day with more of God in us than when we got up in the morning.

Of course, we ought to set aside time to read the Bible and pray, meet with other believers, and share the gospel. But there are so many little ways to open up to the Lord and fellowship with Him while we’re in the middle of a plain old, regular day. We can: 
Call on the Lord’s name, “O Lord Jesus”;
Talk to the Lord about whatever is on our mind;
Sing a hymn or spiritual song;
Pray for a friend; or
Confess our sins.

Whatever we do, we have so many ordinary days. Let’s let the Lord into all of our unremarkable daily activities and MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT!

Just Another Ordinary Day

In Ezekiel 34:26, the Lord says, “I will cause the showers to come down in their season; there will be showers of blessing.”

Although God wants to shower us with blessing, we often limit His blessings by hiding from Him, closing our hearts to Him, or allowing our hearts to be filled with so many other things that there isn’t any room for God. All of our experiences of God begin from our heart, so if our hearts are open and emptied, His blessings can flow.

God especially wants to bless us with spiritual blessings (Ephesians 1:3). God’s greatest blessings come when we spend time with Him and He speaks to us through His Word. Whenever we have His personal speaking, God becomes so real to us. No material blessing can compare to this!

May we all open our hearts and linger in God’s presence until His blessings overflow. We can even pray, “Lord, I won’t let You go until You bless me” (Genesis 32:26). May the Lord rain down showers of blessing upon us!

Our sovereign God gives us many new beginnings, big and small—whether it’s a new day dawning or the start of a new year. Even more, we experience a new beginning every time we turn our heart to the Lord (2 Corinthians 3:16-18).

We produced this joyful Scripture song (the lyrics are from Psalm 95:1-3) to praise our wonderful God and rejoice in Him as 2020 came to an end and a new year began.

May your 2021 be filled with turning to, seeking, loving, gaining, and praising Jesus Christ. May we all continually rejoice in Him!

“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice.” (Philippians 4:4)

“Come, let us sing for joy to Jehovah; / Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; / Let us make a joyful noise to Him with psalms. For Jehovah is a great God / And a great King above all gods.” (Psalm 95:1-3)
