Thy Transforming Love Medley

A Person of Life

Until We All Arrive

I Heard the Voice of the Lord

1.
Unto him that hath Thou givest
Ever more abundantly;
Lord, I live because Thou livest,
Therefore give more life to me,
Therefore speed me in the race,
Therefore let me grow in grace.

2.
Deepen all Thy work, O Master,
Strengthen every downward root;
Only do Thou ripen faster,
More and more Thy pleasant fruit;
Purge me, prune me, self abase;
Only let me grow in grace.

3.
Let me grow by sun and shower,
Every moment water me;
Make me really, hour by hour,
More and more conformed to Thee,
That Thy loving eye may trace
Day by day my growth in grace.

4.
From Thy fulness grace outpouring,
Show me ever greater things;
Raise me higher, sunward soaring,
Mounting as on eagle-wings.
By the brightness of Thy face,
Ever let me grow in grace.

5.
Let me, then, be always growing,
Never, never standing still,
Listening, learning, better knowing
Thee and Thy most blessed will.
Till I win the glorious race,
Daily let me grow in grace.

Unto Him That Hath Thou Givest (Hymn 394)

Based on John 21, Mark 16:7, and the book, And Peter, by Watchman Nee.

Lyrics:
O Lord, how I have fallen because of my great sin
You may have forsaken me but here I am again
Standing on the shoreline right where I did begin
Oh where do I begin again

Casting nets on deep blue seas, my purpose yet unknown
Then light from the heavens came and turned my name to stone
But with all my confidence, to failure I was prone
Oh how could I atone?

Lord, You know; You know I love you though I’m fallen
Lord, You know; when I denied you how my heart had me deceived
Lord, You know; for Your forgiveness now my heart to you is calling
But I know that You still loved me when You called to Your disciples and me
Oh and me
Oh, oh and me

If loving me He suffered, and to the cross was nailed
Would He cease from loving me just because I failed?
In my utter vanquishment, His heart’s love He unveiled
His love for me prevailed

Lord, You know; You know I love you though I’m fallen
Lord, You know; when I denied you how my heart had me deceived
Lord, You know; for Your forgiveness now my heart to you is calling
But I know that You still loved me when You called to Your disciples and me
Oh and me
And me

And Peter

Lord, grant us such a new, soft, and board heart!

Here are the words:
1	
I need a new heart
So God gave His Spirit to me,
I need a new start
Each morning, dear Lord, renew me;
He saves and revives me,
Making home in all our hearts,
    I need a new heart....
    I need a new start....
    I need a new heart, today!
2
I need a soft heart,
Repenting to God completely,
To transform each part,
By loving the Lord more deeply;
The Lord is the Spirit
And we all with unveiled face
    Receive a soft heart....
    Enjoy a fresh start....
    Receive a soft heart, today!
3
Lord, broaden my heart,
In matters of pride, defeat me;
A duplicate heart,
From Your heart to mine, infuse me;
To minister Jesus,
Showing love to all we meet,
    Lord, broaden my heart....
    Lord, be my new start....
    Lord, broaden my heart, today!

Lord, You’re my new heart,
Lord, You’re my soft heart,
Lord, give us Your heart, we pray!

I need a new heart

1. Don’t you want to know your God?
What’s hidden in His heart for you?
How much He longs for you to come
And open up—
To let Him in to every part,
Let Him reveal what’s on His heart,
What was the joy set before Him?
Chorus:
It was for her, the church—His Bride
It was for her, willingly He died
She is the joy deep in His heart
His masterpiece—
His counterpart.
2. The Lord chose you to be a part
Of His great plan, His work of art.
What wonder! What a privilege—
To satisfy—
His yearning to share all He is—
Divine, unsearchable riches!
What wisdom, multifarious expressed?
3. As we enjoy and enter in—
To all He is then we’ll begin—
To understand the feeling in
His heart toward us.
What love that motivated Him!
To come to us, despite our sin
Why did He go and sell all that He had?

It Was For Her

Composed by M.C.

Loving You is All That We Desire

Happy first day of spring! Lyrics and music: https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/ns/276

Rise up, my love, my beautiful one,
And come away, for behold, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone.

Flow’rs appear on the earth,
The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtle dove
Is heard in our land.

My beloved is mine,
And I am His,
He who feeds His flocks among the lilies.
’Til the day breaks,
And the shadows flee away,
Come my beloved,
Come my beloved!

Rise up, my love, my beautiful one
And come away, for behold, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone.

I need a new heart
