But as Many as Received Him - John 1:10-13 (w/ With Those)

Let me love and not be respected;
Let me serve and not be rewarded;
Let me labor and not be remembered;
Let me suffer and not be regarded.

’Tis the pouring, not the drinking;
’Tis the breaking, not the keeping—
A life suff’ring to seek others’ blessing,
A life loving and true comfort giving.
 
Not expecting pity and concern,
Not expecting solace and applause;
Even lonely, even forgotten;
Even wordless, even forsaken.

Tears and blood my price
For the righteous crown shall be;
Losing all, my cost for a faithful pilgrim’s life.
’Twas the life, O Lord, that You chose to live
In those days when on earth You walked,
Gladly suff’ring all injuries and loss
So that all might draw near and repose.

I cannot see how much farther I shall go;
Still I press on, knowing there is no return.
Let me follow Your pattern, so perfect and true,
Bearing ingratitudes without complaint.

In this time of trial, O my Lord, I pray 
That You'd wipe all my hidden tears away;
Let me learn, O Lord, You are my reward;
Let me be others’ blessing all my days.

Let Me Love and Not Be Respected (Watchman Nee)

Good Morning, Lord Jesus

He's A Serving Savior

We were once far from God but now Christ lives in us!

Here are the words:
1
Once far from God and dead in sin,
  No light my heart could see;
But in God’s Word the light I found,
  Now Christ liveth in me.

Christ liveth in me,
  Christ liveth in me;
Oh! what a salvation this,
  That Christ liveth in me.

2
As rays of light from yonder sun,
  The flow’rs of earth set free,
So life and light and love come forth
  From Christ living in me.

3
As lives the flow’r within the seed,
  As in the cone the tree,
So, praise the Christ of truth and grace,
  His Spirit dwelleth in me.

4
With longing all my heart is filled,
  That like Him I may be,
As on the wondrous thought I dwell
  That Christ liveth in me.

H#507 Once far from God...Christ liveth in me

Fade, Fade Each Earthly Joy (new tune)

1. The Bible is a romance
In the most holy sense:
God and His chosen people
In love it so presents.
This Universal Couple
Throughout it is displayed;
God in Christ is the Bridegroom,
His saints, the Bride, portrayed.
2. Through shadows, types and figures,
God’s deepest thought is known;
As typified by Adam,
The Husband, Christ, is shown.
A rib brought forth from Adam
Reveals the source of life
By which God built a woman:
Eve, as the church, His wife.
3. To be His people’s Husband,
To take them as His wife:
This is what God desires
To live in marriage life.
Their sacrifice and worship
Alone could not content;
But with them to be married
Was God’s foremost intent.
4. This romance is the finest
As seen in Song of Songs;
For her Beloved’s kisses
His seeking lover longs.
Love’s work in her produces
No person of her own,
But she becomes the City,
Her Person, Christ alone.
5. Christ is our coming Bridegroom;
We are the Church, His Bride,
Redeemed, regenerated,
The issue of His side,
In source, in life, in nature
And person fully one,
His counterpart forever,
The New Jerusalem.

The Bible Is A Romance

14. My goal is God Himself

1. O Lord, Thy boundless love to me
No thought can reach, no tongue declare;
Oh, knit my thankful heart to Thee,
And reign without a rival there;
Thine wholly, Thine alone I am;
Lord, with Thy love my heart inflame.

2. Oh, grant that nothing in my soul
May dwell but Thy pure love alone;
Oh, may Thy love possess me whole,
My joy, my treasure, and my crown;
All coldness from my heart remove;
May every act, word, thought, be love.

3. O Love, how cheering is Thy ray,
All pain before Thy presence flies;
Care, anguish, sorrow, melt away,
Where’er Thy healing beams arise;
Lord Jesus, nothing may I see,
And naught desire, or seek, but Thee.

O Lord, Thy Boundless Love To Me (w/ Josh)

Jubilee!!

One thing I have asked from Jehovah;
That do I seek:
To dwell in the house of Jehovah
All the days of my life,
To behold the beauty of Jehovah,
And to inquire in His temple.

Psalm 27:4 (One Thing I Have Asked From Jehovah)

This hymn was composed during my second term in the training (Malabon) where almost everything's in chaos. My heart was full of anxieties, doubts and fears. Inspite of this, the Lord is still faithful to carry me through.  At first, I don't understand His ways. But later, the Lord showed me Himself. Job 42:5 says, I had heard of You by the hearing of the ear,  But now my eye has seen You.

He is sovereign over all things. Just let everything go, and let the Lord do. He is continually perfecting us, training us wherever we may go. It doesn’t matter where we’d be. His presence is simply enough, and it’s everything to us.

When all anxiety Lord doth flow.

There's nothing in my hands can do.
           G.                      D
Do strengthen me, I want to know
                          C.                       G
If this would help me Lord to grow.
                     C.                          G
Lord, my prayer "May Your will be done".
             C.                            D.           G
Your heart's desire and mine be one.

Don't let me question now Your ways;

Don't let me speak in my own ways.

There be no question mouth come out;

                           Em.                     G
That blessing poured on me a lot.
                        C.                       G
Lord, may I humble not be proud,
          C.                    D.          G
And let me utter praise aloud.
 
2. Could I Lord to this world enslaved?
Should I still live, just like unsaved?
Why do my heart Lord shaken now?
When thinking things, I'd done O How?
There's no guarantee, O! unsecured
That my enjoyment Lord assured!
Lord, let my first love be recovered,
How I long Lord to be preserved!

I now am strengthened by Your word.
Your mercy ties me like a cord.
It holds me like a band of love,
My eyes set to the things above!
Let me not linger nor return,
But press toward You this my goal.
If by Your radiance I am shown;
Then to this world, no more I'll drawn.
 
 
3. Take me to the place, my heart's desire, 
Where I found You this my cry!
It doesn't matter where I'd be,
Your presence Lord enough for me!
Take me to the path where there is light,
Where there's no darkness in my sight!
May I would live this trained life, Lord;
More of perfecting Lord I longed!


Do perfect me until it's full!
I'll give my heart to You and all.
Let each encourage whom our soul,
Lord, doth afflicted be no more!
"My brothers in the Lord be strong.
Let heart surrounds with joyful song"
And now I let You Lord, take hold,
May each one go, Lord, make us bold!
