As Members of the Body

The Best Choice
(50th Batch of the FTTM - Hymn Composition)

1. You are my most excellent portion!
On You I will forever lay hold.
The excellency of Your Person,
Lord, my eyes will most gladly behold!
The world its lust I willingly leave.
But no, oh no! I will never weep!
Trash, refuse, that's what they are!
From me, oh, they better stay afar.
My life of ease i now count as loss,
You I will acquire at all cost!

Chorus:
I made the best choice when I said, "I love You!
Lord, You're my treasure of great value!
Now all things else mean absolutely nothing.
Because to me, You are my everything!
My future, my life no longer my own,
All I present for your recovery.
Until the age's consummation,
Full-time lifetime, I will serve You!"

2. Lord, now my eyes clearly see Your need.
My desire to serve is burning indeed!
To be perfected, to be trained by You,
This desire in me so strong, so true.
Not just for enjoyment that I am here,
For discipline, intense breaking too.
With vision clear, with You so near,
O my Lord, oh, until death ensue!
I will remain though others treat me sore,
I dare not from You ask for more!

3. Lord, I to Your demand say "Amen!"
Though my shameful weakness is exposed.
I learned to put myself now to an end,
In my ugly self no more I boast.
I am not a fool, all good things I've known,
Yet why am I still here pressing on?
Though I myself cannot apprehend,
On you I will rest, rely, depend.
Will not from You my heart ever sever,
Yesterday, today, forever!

The Best Choice! - 50th-53rd Term of FTTMa

I wrote this song in a time of great senselessness and inhumanity  … where oppression, modern war and transactional peace were televised for years … where a generation of children were left traumatized and homeless with only a memory of their lost families to share with tired aid workers … and where parents were left to carry on making a new home after the loss of a precious child.

Therefore You Also Now Have Sorrow

I Want To Follow Him

1. From the morning to the evening, His faithfulness I see;
His mercy reaching sinners, reaching even me;
And I know, now I know.
Brighter than the brightest sunlight, all doubts and fears must cease;
Sweeter than the sweetest delight, His living Word in me;
And I know, now I know.

CHORUS:
That God is there for me tomorrow,
As He is for me today;
That He’ll take my cares and sorrow,
And He’ll wipe them all away;
There’s no crisis that He can’t bear,
There’s no storm He can’t abate;
He’s my God, He’s my God.

2. Day by day His grace grows dearer; His love has conquered me,
Never leaving, never ceasing, His Spirit constantly
Flooding me, rich and free;
Higher than the highest heaven, He lifts me up to see
New Jerusalem descending, His Bride, His love to be
Eternally, it shall be.

I Want To Follow Him
