Jeremiah 29:13 "And you will seek Me and find Me if you search for Me with all your heart;"
Jeremiah 29:14a "And I will be found by you, declares Jehovah."

You Will Seek Me (w/ Sunny)

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!

A Time For Everything: Ecc. 3:1-8,11

This hymn was a portion of my enjoyment in the book THE ALL-INCLUSIVE CHRIST Chapter 11.😊

Brothers and Sisters.....
===========================

1
Though it be with tears in our eyes, we must say day by day, “Lord, nothing but Your smiling presence will satisfy me. 

2
I do not want anything but the smile of Your glorious face. As long as I have this, I care not whether the heaven comes down or the earth falls apart. 

Chorus:
The whole world may rise against me, but as long as I have Your smile upon me, I can praise You, and everything is well.”
As long as I have this, I care not whether the heaven comes down or the earth falls apart.

Your Smiling Presence

Considering the things around me hinders me not to go on in the training. This termbreak makes me feel that it's enough. But the Lord seemed to be saying that "it's not enough"!

Go on and Press on!!!

You are called, chosen, and predestinated to be trained and be perfected more in His hands. Lord, do remind me always for this reason why I am still here.


TITLE: I Am Called For A Reason

LYRICS:

It seems so hard to go on with the Lord
So many considerations along the road
Hard to unload
Pages not unfold
Remind me the reason why I am called

It seems so hard to go on with the Lord
So many considerations along the road
Hard to unload
Pages not unfold
Remind me the reason why I am called (I am called.....)

Chorus:
I am called for the reason to be trained by You
Chosen, predestinated to be perfected by You
A vessel unto honor useful to You
My Beloved, my Master......
I am called for the reason to be trained by You
Chosen, predestinated to be perfected by You
A vessel unto honor useful to You
My Beloved, my Master, 
I am for You.

I Am Called For A Reason

I just want to share my Enjoyment on our todays' MR😄 (1 Peter 1:8)

Title: Hindi Kita nakikita ngunit iniibig Kita.

1.
Hindi Kita nakikita ngunit iniibig Kita
Anong hiwaga ang Iyong pinadarama
Sabihin man nilang, ako'y nababaliw
Ikaw ang natatangi kong aliw

Koro 1:
Nanampalataya, sa mundo'y napalaya
Anong tuwa't, galak, anong saya
Namangha sa kagandahang ipinakita
Nahayag sa salita, nabuksan ang pinto ng biyaya.

2.
Bagamat di Kita nakikita ng mukhaan
Ang mga mata ng aking puso'y naliwanagan
Ako'y di iiwan, ako'y di lilisan
Lubusang kasiyaha'y nakamtan

Koro 2:
Di maipaliwanag, di rin maipinta
Di maisulat sa isang pahina
Puspos ng niluwalhating kagalakan
Ikaw ang aking sinasampalatayanan.
🎶🎵😊

Praise the Lord!

Hindi Kita Nakikita Ngunit Iniibig Kita: 1 Pedro 1:8, Efeso 1:18

Hebrews 12:1-2

Mark 11:23-24

1. "Great is Thy faithfulness," O God my Father,
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.

CHORUS:
"Great is Thy faithfulness!" "Great is Thy faithfulness!"
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided—
"Great is Thy faithfulness," Lord, unto me!

2. Summer and winter, and springtime and
harvest,
Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

3. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!

Great Is Thy Faithfulness (w/ Titus, Caleb & Isaac)

1. Thy dwelling place, O Lord, I love;
It is Thy Church so blessed,
It is Thy joy and heart's delight
And where Thy heart finds rest.

2. For her, Thyself Thou gavest, Lord,
That she be Thine, complete;
For her, I too my body give,
Thy heart's desire to meet.

3. For her, Thou hast become my life,
That she my living be;
For her, I would forsake myself,
That she be filled with Thee.

4. The Church is Thy beloved Bride,
Thou in Thy Body seen;
She is my joy and heart's desire,
The one on whom I lean.

5. In her, Thy full supply, O Lord,
Thou dost to me impart;
In her am I possessed by Thee
To satisfy Thy heart.

6. Thy dwelling-place, O Lord, I love;
It is Thy Church, Thy home;
In it I would forever live
And never longer roam.

Thy Dwelling Place, O Lord, I Love (acapella)

The heart is deceitful above all things, and it is incurable; who can know it? (Jer. 17:9) Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it are the issues of life (Prov 4:23). Indeed, unto this day, whenever Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. But whenever their heart turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away (2 Co 3:15-16), that Christ may make His home in your hearts... (Eph. 3:17)

That with it included the power and Your strength
The life that can fulfill the highest demand
In Christ is included and freely acquired.
In our weakness and troubles we need to believe
What we greatly need now is for us to receive.

3. “Unto him hath he given all that he hath.”—
In ourselves there's nothing to toil and to ask
'Cause in You enjoyment is freely received
Which is based on cov'nant in Him You have made,
In our life and our living how we need to see,
Our quest in our seeking to know You this way.

-then final Chorus-

To Know You

I heard this hymn for the first time at a Thursday night Solid Ground (Ministry Series at the time) with Christian Students on Campus at The University of Texas at Austin. 

A song couldn't sum up my experience better. I'd been praying for three years to meet some people with genuine hearts for the Lord.

I met those people at UT, and they were wonderful. They talked about the Lord over dinner. They showed me God's eternal purpose. And it turned out, there was so much of me that needed to be gained by Him. But the Lord surely added Himself into me that first year through every meeting and experience, the saints, and especially, "a search in His Word found my hardened heart softened."

Crossroads Of Our Lives / Original (Will's Song)

1. Lord, keep me living, through deep sorrows and steep joys,
My human life is filled with days of darkness, days of songs.
What’s the purpose? What’s the reason for all this?
Lord, it’s only by Your grace, by the grace of God I’ll live.

CHORUS:
Keep me living by the grace of God,
Make this a reality, Christ living in me.
Keep me living by the grace of God,
For the reality, of the Body of Christ.

2. Lord, Your grace, is flowing from the throne,
Not material gifts, nor blessings, but the processed Triune God.
God the Father’s boundless riches, God the Son an endless spring,
God the Spirit’s ceaseless flowing thus the Triune God to bring.

CHORUS:
Keep me living by the grace of God,
Make this a reality, Christ living in me.
Keep me living by the grace of God,
For the reality, of the Body of Christ.

3. Lord, Your Body, must become reality,
Through every member functioning to build up Your Body.
So defeat us, and subdue us, open vessels, Lord we pray,
As stewards of the grace of God, Lord build us up today.

CHORUS:
Keep us living by the grace of God,
Make this a reality, Christ living in us.
Keep us living by the grace of God,
For the reality, of the Body of Christ.

When All Around My Sky is Falling

As requested by my mom, here is my first recording in Korean. :-)

https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/ns/199

Nearer Each Day / 날마다 가까이 (Korean)

I have turned away from Your constraining love,
Being blinded by the world and lost my love for You
My heart is burned with Your love before I left you, Lord
Now I turn to You again, Oh Lord rekindle my love.

Restore my heart, Fill me with love
Encompassing me from worldly tide
My heart belongs to You, Dear Lord
Oh Lord make me love You again. 

To seek someone else, 
'Tis the worst choice I have made
Seems to be the sweetest but
My heart felt emptiness.
My heart is full of guilt, deceived by earthly love
Grant me Lord with a pure heart
Oh Lord make me love You again.


Lord, make me love You again | Original

This sweet hymn has been particularly helpful lately.
Lord, save me from the future.

Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord comes.

This Opportunity (with Isaac Estrada)

Habakkuk 3:2
Lyrics

1 Throughout the generations,
There has been, in all creation,
In all God's elect, a prayer, a longing, an aspiration
For revival

O Jehovah, revive Your work.
Jehovah, revive Your work.

2 Through Adam's fall, corruption
Came into the whole creation,
With sin came decay and death, so Lord, hear our supplication
For revival!

Chorus:
O Jehovah, revive Your work in the midst of the years;
In the midst of the years make it known;
In wrath remember compassion.
O Jehovah, revive Your work.

3 Our days of desolation
and slav'ry under corruption,
Can only be swallowed up by Christ as the resurrection,
For our revival.

(Chorus)

4 Our need for restoration
Is met only by a Person:
The reality of the third day, Christ, the resurrection,
The real revival!

(Chorus)
…Jehovah, revive Your work.

From the Recovery version Bible & footnotes:
Hab 3:2 - O Jehovah, I have heard the report concerning You and am afraid. O Jehovah, revive Your work In the midst of the years; In the midst of the years make it known;In wrath remember compassion.

footnotes:
Hab 3:2 [1] In his prayer for revival, Habakkuk represents all God’s elect throughout the generations. Among God’s elect there has always been an aspiration to be revived. Moreover, since the fall of man there has been in all creation an aspiration for revival (Rom. 8:19-23). Adam’s fall brought corruption, slavery, and death into the whole creation (Rom. 5:12); everything is decaying and is under the slavery of corruption. All the things that are under this slavery aspire to be revived.

Hab 3:2 [2] The universal need for revival, for restoration, can be met only by Christ and in Christ. Only Christ, who was resurrected on the third day (1 Cor. 15:4), is the renewing power. For the whole universe and for all mankind, Christ is the reality of the third day (John 11:25). The reality of the third day is the person of the resurrected Christ with the reality of revival. Christ, therefore, is the element of the revival for which all creation aspires. The corruption and desolation can be swallowed up only by Christ’s resurrection. The way to experience revival is to contact Christ by repenting and confessing our sins, failures, and darkness, thereby entering into Him as the resurrection. Cf. Hosea 6:2 and note.

O Jehovah, Revive Your Work

MY LOVE FOR YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE

(Husband)

You have many lovers in your heart
And you ran after them and deserted Me
You forgot that I am your Husband
I long for you, I want you back. 

I've been waiting for you to return
I will draw you again to come back to Me.
In that day, you’ll call Me, My Husband
Will call Me Baali no more

Chorus:
My love for you will never change
I drew you with the cords of a man,
With bands of love, divine and yet human
My love for you will never fail
Will always prevail

(Wife)

I repent and I return to You
Forgive me Lord, for my iniquity
And heal me of my apostasy
Thank You for still loving me
Thank You for loving me freely. 

Chorus:

(Husband) My love for you will never change
(Wife) I’m charmed by You, to You I’ve been drawn
(Together) We’ll be as one and we'll be together
Inseparable, our love will be
‘Til eternity.

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!

Showers of Blessing

Don't Say, "Oh No!"

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!

Thankful for a week of being simplified with dear saints in our home, God Himself!
