Ephesians 5:19 - "Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and psalming with your heart to the Lord" 

Spiritual Melodies

Thousands Of Conversations

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!

Christ Is the Tree of Life

Capo 1

C Am
1. *I was a stranger in a *barren land,
F
Not knowing the *God of glory planned
G C
To call me out *from the world into this journey. *
Am
By faith He led me to the *promised land
F
Where living water *freshens me
Gsus - Gsus7
And satisfaction’s *in the living *tree…

Chorus 1:
C G
In the church*—here to stay!*
Am
Countless times* I’ve failed but
F
You show* me the way back.
C G
I'm not* of this world!*
Am
You’ve appeared* to me Lord,
F
There's no* turning back.
C - F
I've *seen my destiny*
Em - Am
Is *an eternal city*
Dm Gsus C
Whose *Architect and Buil*der is my God*

2. Though God has brought me to this chosen land,
At times I don't really understand
The sufferings I go through, “Lord is all this for me?”
I am a man under Your sovereign hand.
Your mercy shines and now I see,
Your tenderheartedness to deal with me…

Chorus 2:
In the church, have Your way.
Strip me off of the earthly joys that replace You.
I’m not for this world.
Though the old man decays,
I’m daily renewed
My life on earth must be
To seek a better country
Whose Architect and Builder is my God

3. As I sojourn this temporary land,
Lord strengthen me, so trials I’d withstand,
Not losing sight of the eternity before me.
My future is brighter than what's at hand.
These sorrows, they will fade and flee
As glory fills me for eternity.

Chorus 3:
We’re the church in this age,
Getting ready to meet our Bridegroom that day!
We are not for this world!
We’re preparing for the new heav’n and new earth.
To be His masterpiece,
His bride eternally—
Our destiny’s the New Jerusalem.

Not For This World

(Us)
D A
Beneath this mask—this smile I wear—
Bm F#m
Which tells the world that I’m okay,
G D
That I am strong and nothing in
Em A
My life can drag me down today,
D A
Beneath this mask hides loneliness,
Bm F#m
And questions: what is life all for?
G D
And worries and anxieties
Em A D
Like rain from heaven, pour and pour.

(Christ)
“Why do you struggle on your own?
Just come to Me, pour out and call,
The feeling of your weaknesses
I’m touched with—yet I conquered all.
As Spirit in your spirit I’m
Contactable, available,
I’ll make more home within your heart,
And heal by life your turbid soul.”

(Us)
Beneath this mask—this smile I wear—
I am a child longing for
A home where I feel safe and loved,
A people I can call my own,
Beneath this mask—a cry for help,
I’m drifting on a stormy sea,
I’m tossed about from wave to wave,
With no direction how to be.

(Christ)
“Why do you struggle on your own?
I’ll be your Good Samaritan,
I’ll pour the oil and the wine,
I’ll lead you to your home, the inn,
The household of the faith is where,
Your turbid soul will find true rest,
And I too find My resting place,
My Body, where I’m manifest."

Why Do You Struggle?

According to 2 Peter 3:12, the kind of person we are can hasten the Lord’s return.

The earth and those who live in it are the Lord’s (Psalm 24:1). The Lord Jesus Christ is “the King of those who reign as kings and Lord of those who rule as lords” (1 Timothy 6:15).

Yet God’s enemy, Satan, and his “spiritual forces of evil” (Ephesians 6:12) reject the Lord’s rule. Under this influence, many of the human race do not acknowledge Jesus as Lord.

Philippians 2:10-11 says that “in the name of Jesus every knee should bow . . . and every tongue should openly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.”

One day, all knees will bow. But we can confess Him as Lord today. Even now, we can proclaim Him King of Kings. We can allow Him to rule in us, day by day, as we watch for His return.

“This is the generation of those who seek Him, / Those who seek Your face. . . . Lift up your heads, O gates; / And be lifted up, O long enduring doors; / And the King of glory will come in” (Psalm 24:6-7).

This song is part of our new album, “I’m Your Vessel.”

I'm Your Vessel

One Day All Knees Will Bow

Exodus 33:11 says, “Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend.” The Lord is longing to speak to us—we just need to allow Him to draw us to Himself, morning by morning.

“O God, You are my God; early will I seek You” (Psalm 63:1).

We wrote this song a long time ago, and we’re happy to finally release a recording of it as part of our new album, “I’m Your Vessel.”

Draw Me This Morning

The Lord is calling us to be part of His eternal purpose to build up the church as the Body of Christ, His glorious expression. This song is a prayer to turn to the Lord, open to Him, and offer ourselves to Him.

It’s also the opening song on our new album, “I’m Your Vessel.”

Mary Poured Out Her Love Offering

Deep Within God's Heart

Deep within God's heart, a desire made known.
"It is not good for man to be alone
I will make him a helper as his counterpart."
To have a bride was His need and heart.

So God became a lowly man
Lived a life according to the Father's will
Wholly one with His heart and plan
Obedient to the Cross, His plan fulfilled

What life-releasing death!
Producing His Bride, the Church
What life-imparting resurrection!
A beautiful man in life and nature.

Christ loved the church
And gave Himself up for her
A love surpassing comprehend
Such mercy and grace to apprehend
With all of our hearts,
We love You, Lord Jesus.
