This Divine Romance

DON'T ALLOW ME TO CHOOSE

1. Lord, I would not be satisfied
Until I've got Your best; 
Your perfect will for my life
A choice that I should make;

Chorus:
Don't allow me to linger
And settle on the less;
Don't allow me to choose by myself
While You have prepared the best.

2. Lord, I'm not clear about Your way
I'm prone to go astray;
Without Your light and leading,
I can't go on this way.

3. Don't give me choice between Your will
and my interference;
Still dwelling on the outward life
And natural preference.

4. With all my personal desires
Incline my heart to You;
How could I live a joyful life
If it's apart from You?

5. Direct my steps on life's journey
Lord, lead me every day;
When reaching on the crossroad paths
Don't let me choose my way.

6. All longings deep within my heart
Lord, do fill every part;
Make me just satisfied in You
And never will depart.

不要讓我再徘徊

１　主，我不會滿意直到
我得你的最好；
你為我的純全旨意
我所應該選取；
副歌：
不要讓我再徘徊
並且安定較少；
不要讓我由自己選擇
當你預備了最好

２　主，我不清楚你道路
我是傾向迷路；
沒有你的帶領和光，
不能繼續前往。

３　你意志和我干涉之間
不讓我有揀選；
我仍住在向外生活
並且天然揀選。
４　以我所有個人慾望
傾斜我心向你；
我怎麼能活的快樂
若生活沒有你？

５　指揮我一生的旅途
主，每天帶領我；
當到達在交叉道路
不讓我選我路。

６　在我心內深深渴望
主，每部分滿溢；
使我只要滿意於你
並且永不離去。

Don't Allow Me to Choose

Romans 10:11-13

1. I once was dead in sin
No hope in me i found
God seemed so far away, but God is rich in mercy
Because of His great love
Made me alive with Christ
And lives inside my heart, to be so real to me

Chorus 1:
But when it pleased God to set me apart 
From my mother's womb
And called me through His loving grace
To reveal His son in me.

2. Now from my spirit He
Is now transforming me
That i'll express Him now, in everything i do
Now Christ be magnified 
Through mind, emotion, will
No longer i that live, but He that lives in me

Chorus 2:
Now its no longer i that live
But Christ that lives in me
The life i live, i live in faith
The faith of the Son of God.

3. He saved me for His will
To build the church His bride
For this I need to speak, to build up His Body
Now i pursue with those
Whom from a pure heart call
By this we're knit as one, and match His hearts desire

Chorus 3:
Oh Lord Jesus how we love
To call on You right now
For Your purpose we are made
To be Your resting place

4. My heart is bursting Lord
To tell of all you've done
Of how You changed my life, and wiped away the past
Oh i want to shout it out
From every rooftop sing
For now i know that God is for me not against me

Chorus:
Oh I could sing unending songs
Of how you saved my soul
Well I could dance a thousand miles 
Because of your great love.

The Happy Song: I was Once Dead in Sin (Brian Chiu)

guitar by Ugo Ibe - https://soundcloud.com/ebayugo
Song based on a prayer, the verse Song of Songs 6:2 and foot note 1
Be my gardener Lord
Plant Yourself in my being
Plant Your lilies and your spices
Make my being beautiful

My beloved's gone down to His garden
To the bed of spices
To feed in the gardens 
And gather lilies

Christ's garden is in our spirit
Which we grow beautiful, spiritual
Divine and heavenly things
Which are sweet to His taste

Be My Gardener - S.S. 6:2 with Ugo Ibe

1. Begin the day with God; He really wants you to,
Hoping you’ll let Him come and spend the day with you.
Rise up! Don’t wait! You’ll miss the Son.
It’s the best part of the day.
His taste is sweet to all who meet
Him in the morning when He’s fresh and new.

2. Begin the day with God; He’s waiting there for you.
Morning by morning come; His mercy is brand new.
Rise up! Don’t wait! You’ll miss the Son.
He has so much for you.
Enjoy your portion and your part
Until the Morning Star rises in your heart.

3. Begin the day with God; He needs His people to
Be those who love Him best—get up with this in view.
Rise up! Don’t wait! You’ll miss the Son.
He needs some to watch and pray.
Spend time with Him and let Him in-
To your heart so He can have His way.

Begin the Day with God

Until We All Arrive

I Heard the Voice of the Lord

Chords: https://songbase.life/6

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

"Though I’m the weakest of the weak,
My strength is nothing but Thy grace."

My Will Is Weak

"Forgetting the things which are behind
And stretching forward to the things
Which are before, I pursue toward the goal for the prize
To which God has called me upward in Christ." - (Philippians 13:13-14)

Isaiah 42:9 & Philippians 3:13-14

Mary Poured Out Her Love Offering

1. Who could ever know the feeling deep down in my heart?
Who could really understand? My weakness to sustain?
When I have lost hope to carry on by myself,
Your Person stands by me to be my hope and life.

CHORUS:
Your love's so deep moving and sweet.
How can I still stubborn be?
No more I struggle and strive.
Trust in your faith and rest in your breast.

2. When I feel the touch of Your hand upon my life,
I sense the flow of life, flowing rich and free.
When you wipe away every tear in my eyes,
Sorrow has depart'd.
Behold a smiling face.

Your Love So Deep, Moving, And Sweet

1. Hidden behind every scene,
Lovingly, sweetly operating,
One who is sovereign and wise,
Patiently guides even our eyes.
Look at My Son, the Beloved,
Sitting here at My right hand.
Jesus is King, yet He’s bound,
He cannot move until His people
    give Him ground.

CHORUS:
Lord, we see You! Lord, we love You!
Lord, we submit everything to You.
Each day, Your ruling and Your reigning
Brings a sweet supply.
Oh, what a rich blessing!
We’re in the hand of our King. 
Everything You hope to accomplish,
    do in me.

2. In us a small Kingdom seed,
Orders our steps, governs our deeds.
Jesus, enthroned in our hearts,
Gently He touches our every part.
Do you not know you’re the temple
Of your God, King of Kings?
Through us our Lord has a way,
To rule and to reign here on the earth
    day by day.

Don't Allow Me to Choose (music and lyrics unknown)

Lord I would not be satisfied, until I've got Your best
Your perfect will for my life - a choice that I should make

Don't allow me to linger, and settle on the less
Don't allow me to choose by myself, while you have prepared the best...

Waters To Swim In

w/ those

If you’ve lost all your possessions
And you’re feeling the oppressions,
There’s a gift of grace to you who would believe;
There’s no high requirement from you,
Jesus Christ, Whose blood redeemed you,
Is the One who is forgiveness, just receive!

There’s good news on your horizon—(Shout) Jubilee!
There’s a gospel worth announcin’—(Shout) Just believe!
It’s the word for which you’re waiting,
It’s a gift worth celebrating,
Hear the trumpet, how elating—Be set free....
To enjoy the Lord, receive abundant grace,
Just enjoy the Lord, behold His shining face,
In the Jubilee! Just believe! Be set free!
In the Jubilee!

Through Christ’s words of grace and mercy,
There’s no shortage, lack, or worry,
Don’t be bothered, vexed, or feel anxiety;
In the Jubilee of grace where
All our debt has been erased there,
We are happy, joyful, filled with ecstasy!

When Christ is our satisfaction
And our one unique attraction,
Christ, the Savior, has become our Jubilee;
Everything is satisfying
When in all Christ is supplying
All the riches found in God’s economy!

Yours And Mine

Watch! Be Ready!

Written by N.H.

Lyrics:
1. Enoch and God walked for three centuries
And then God took him and he was not
And Abraham lingered in God's presence
As they were talking God showed His heart

	Chorus
	Lord, I'm here, just spending time to get to know You
	Just draw near, reveal Your heart, show me Your purpose
	Keep dispensing into me
	
2. Walking with God we are in fellowship 
Talking to Him shows me His heart
Gazing at God, He is infused to me
As I abide here we both are one

3. Regular days but there is God in them
Regular hours spent talking  with Him 
Do not despise days full of the small things
Life's being added to you when you say…

Enoch and God (cover)

Written by Jo (orginal: https://soundcloud.com/jem1293/that-ones-majesty)

1. I grew up hearing of You
By the hearing of the--
I grew up hearing of You
By the hearing of the ear,
But now my eye has seen you;
It’s settled, this is it:
I’ve touched reality.

2. You’ve become lovely to me,
So beautiful and--
You’ve become lovely to me,
So beautiful and sweet.
I’m seeing that One’s majesty.
I never did believe
You could win me like this.

3. I am so lovely to You,
Beautiful and--
I am so lovely to You,
Beautiful and sweet.
Though I do not know why
You fell in love with me,
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.

I Grew Up Hearing of You | with Dan, John, and Ugo

Don't give up when times are hard,
Do do do do do do not give up!
Don't give up, have a happy heart,
Do do do do do do not give up!
Don't give up, pray and obey,
Do do do do do do not give up!
If you want to quit, all you have to say:
Do do do do do do do do not give up!

Something every heart is loving | with amayzhangrace

What about my sinful past?
And my conscience has no rest.
Deep within I feel the pain.
I’m condemned from all my guilty stains.

O my life of misery,
In this world of vanity,
As I searched for happiness,
My reward I received just emptiness.

God was far away from me,
Great and highest One is He.
Yet You took on humanity.
You came for me,
Hung on a tree,
Bled there to die for me.

That’s why I love Him.
That’s why I treasure Him.
That’s why I give my life and all to Him.
That’s why I love Him.
That’s why I treasure Him.
That’s why I give my life and all to Him.

That's Why I Love Him | with Allison and Priscilla

Happy Birthday Jessica!

*If you're not Jessica* You can replace her name with one of your companions. :)

I know you don't like birthdays, but here's a recording of the song we sing together maybe too much hehe.  <3 Thank you for being my companion. The Lord really gave me the best people to grow in life with. Let's continue to pursue Him! Love you.

Lyrics:

1
Two are better than one;
If I fall, then you can pick me up.
Two are better than one
To resist the enemy.
Three are better than two;
A three-fold cord’s not quickly broken.
(Insert name), I need you;
Be my companion.

Chorus
 God has placed me with you here,
My companions who are so dear.
Blend us, knit us, and build us up today.
Day by day you encourage me;
A foretaste of New Jerusalem I see.
I need you, my companion

2
We are running a race,
Pressing on each day toward the goal.
We are running a race;
Christ the prize we hold in view.
Fleeing youthful lusts,
But faith, love, peace, and righteousness pursue;
(Insert name), I need you.
Be my companion.

3
I’m an ear that can’t see;
There are many things that I can’t do.
You’re an eye that can’t hear;
See, I have my function too.
We’re an eye and an ear,
So we need arms and legs and pinky toes.
(Insert name), we need them;
We’re one living Body.

Fill My Spirit Up - NACT 2020 ATL Brothers

1. O Love divine, how sweet Thou art,
When shall I find my willing heart
All taken up by Thee?
My thirsty spirit faints to prove
The greatness of redeeming love,
The love of Christ to me.

2. Stronger His love than death and hell,
Its riches are unsearchable:
The first-born sons of light
Desire in vain its depths to see;
They cannot reach the mystery,
The length, and breadth, and height.

3. God only knows the love of God;
Oh, that it now were shed abroad
In this poor stony heart;
For love I sigh, for love I pine;
This only portion, Lord, be mine,
Be mine this better part.

4. Oh, that I could forever sit
Like Mary, at the Master’s feet;
Be this my happy choice;
My only care, delight, and bliss,
My joy, my rest on earth be this,
To hear the Bridegroom’s voice.

O Love Divine / New Tune (Juanito's Song)

1 Samuel 2:35: "And I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest, who will do according to what is in My heart and in My mind; and I will build him a sure house; and he will go before My anointed continually."

And I Will Raise Up (1 Samuel 2:35) / Original (Juanito's Song)

1. He understands you thoroughly;
There’s nothing He does not know.
All your problems and weaknesses
Don’t say it isn’t so!
He’s your Helper, sympathizing.
He’s the Spirit. Don’t neglect Him.
He’s praying for you
And sustaining you.

2. He gives support and comforts you,
Interceding night and day.
And when you’re weak He groans for you
With words you cannot say.
He’s the Spirit, interceding.
He’s the Spirit. Don’t neglect this
Wonderful One,
Who is praying for you.

3. So many times we are so weak,
But Someone deep within
Supplies the very help we need,
And we’re upheld by Him.
He says, “Don’t be disappointed.”
He knows all your fears and failures;
He’s praying for you
As no one else can do.

He Understands You Thoroughly

Just To Be In You

1. I wrote You a letter
Saying “I’m doing fine,
I’m feeling much better." But
You know that’s a lie.

So I sent You another
To convince otherwise.
But the spirit came searching, and
Saw through my disguise.

CHORUS:
"Lord, i turn back to You."
Without You life is black and white; 
Without You restless pain & endless fights.
"Lord, i turn back to You."
Without You storm clouds fill the sky;
Without You sunless rain & dayless nights
I'll be colorblind...
"Always stay by my side."

2. In tears I confess, that I’ve
Wasted way too much time.
Now I’m home doing nothing, but
Don’t know why I’m always tired.

Then You gently remind me
To call on Your name.
To call "Abba Father" -
One who still stayed the same.

3. How’d you always see through me Lord?
I’ve got nowhere to hide.
And I don’t want to be,
Since You’re hugging me real tight.

Now sweet rest at last,
You let me fall at Your feet.
Singing love songs to me...
No place I’d rather be.

Simply Loving

A Letter / Original (March 25th, 2020)

You're always singing to me.
Whatever may happen in my circumstances,
You're always singing to me, I just gotta listen.
You're always singing to me.
I heard Your dear voice in my circumstances;
You're singing to me this morning -
"Genuine prayer issues in melody."

The only way to love is to BE LOVED,
Because love never originate from us.
We love You by faith, and we should every day,
But sometimes I run out of love.
So I say "Lord, You first loved me, You always will, and You'll never stop loving me."
"Lord, You FIRST loved me. You ALWAYS will. And You'll NEVER STOP loving me."

I wake up. Open my eyes. Said I love You. At Ball. (Ball 1 apartment)
But I said what. What I don't mean. I'm weak and I fall.
Down on my knees. I asked You, "Why'd You love me at all?"
I've got no strength left to sing to You, so I call.

Do I still love You? I don't know anymore.
But You still love me - that's for sure, that's for sure.
Do I still love You? I don't know anymore.
But You still love me - that's for sure, that's for sure.
What a reliable love... I'm in love with this One.

"Lord, You FIRST loved me. You ALWAYS will. And You'll NEVER STOP loving me."
"Lord, You FIRST loved me. You ALWAYS will. And You'll NEVER STOP loving me."

I said "Your love is BETTER than wine." (S.S 1:2)
You said "How MUCH BETTER is your love than wine." (S.S 4:10)
Our love still have reservations, 
But when You love, You love with Your all.
What kind of love is this... What kind of love is this?

I said "Better", You said "Much Better" - 
Your love is incomparable.
But one day, I'll get there - "blessed simultaneity". (Brother Lee's words)
One day, I'll be able to love You to the SAME DEGREE!
One day, I'll be able to love You to the same degree.

You're always singing to me (in the meantime)
You're always singing to me (while I'm listening)
You're always singing to me,
"Genuine prayer issues in melody."
You're always singing to me,
"Hopeless Romantic loves me with EVERYTHING."

1. Don’t you know? Don’t you know?
Jesus Christ is in you.
He is near, He is here—
He is in you!
He’s within, speak to Him,
Pour out your love on Him.
He is waiting for you to speak to Him...

Tell Him you love Him! Oh, just love Him!
He is this wonderful Person in you!
Don’t forget, don’t forget,
That you are not alone,
And then through you, His life will be made known.

2. Don’t forget, don’t forget,
That the Lord is in you.
He’s not far like the stars,
No, He’s in you.
If you fall, just recall:
There’s a Person in you.
Then with His strength you will rise up anew.

Don't Forget

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

1. Is it raining, little flower?
Oh, be glad of rain!
Too much sun would wither thee;
Soon ’twill shine again.
Though the sky is black, ’tis true,
Yet behind it shines the blue.
Is it raining, little flower?
Oh, be glad of rain!

2. Art thou weary, tender heart?
Oh, be glad of pain;
Sweetest things in sorrow grow
As the flow’rs in rain.
God is watching, thou’lt have sun
When the clouds their work have done.
Art thou weary, tender heart?
Oh, be glad of pain.
