Steal Me Away

Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus

Ephesians 3:14-21
14  For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father,
15  Of whom every family in the heavens and on earth is named,
16  That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit into the inner man,
17  That Christ may make His home in your hearts through faith, that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
18  May be full of strength to apprehend with all the saints what the breadth and length and height and depth are
19  And to know the knowledge-surpassing love of Christ, that you may be filled unto all the fullness of God.
20  But to Him who is able to do superabundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power which operates in us,
21  To Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus unto all the generations forever and ever. Amen.

I Bow My Knees Unto the Father (Ephesians 3:14,16-21)

Matt. 13:45-46, Eph. 5:25

    G                           Em
The kingdom of the heavens is a merchant
C                            D
Seeking finest pearls in the world
  G                                 Em
A single pearl He found of greatest value.
   C                D
He sold His all and bought it.

Em     D         G
Christ loved the church
C                     D
He paid the price for her.
   Em        D      G
He knows her all-surpassing worth
    C             D
And I too give my all
            G
To gain His pearl

2. A pearl is something transformed in death waters,
Not something created by God.
The church is nothing natural, but she’s processed
Through death and resurrection.

3. Once just a little rock or grain of sand, we
Wounded Christ who died on the cross.
Our sinner-loving Savior, He embraced us—
Secreted life around us.

4. Although we wound the Savior, never leave Him.
In His wound remain, make your home.
He’ll keep dispensing resurrection into us,
Transform us to His treasure.

The Canon Progression

D A Bm F#m G D G A



God, the Creator, became a God-man
His death redeemed us for His glorious plan
Now, in resurrection, the Spirit’s released
Producing the church, this is God’s masterpiece


Lord, You love me so immensely
I would love You more intensely
Every day and every moment
O Lord, capture me
Let my goal and my life’s theme be
Lord, to love You more supremely
With all my heart, Lord Jesus
Keep me faithful unto Thee
(Come and fill me, Lord, to the brim
Overflow in me, overcome in me) 


Thou art my Beloved, the most lovely Beloved
My heart and my soul are seeking after Thee (x2) 


God’s eternal economy is to make man the same as He is
In life and nature but not in the Godhead
And to make Himself one with man and man one with Him
Thus to be enlarged and expanded in His expression


And we know that all things work together for good 
To those who love God, to those who are called


Draw me, we will run after Thee
In the morning at the vineyards
They have caused me to give You my love
Caused me to give You my love


Drifting without You, Lord
Lost vessels we were
Spirits deadened, destined for judgment
No hope in the world
But God, being rich in mercy 
Because of His great love with which He loved us
Even when we were dead in offences
Made us alive together with Christ


And we have the prophetic word made more firm
To which you do well to give heed as to a lamp 
Shining in a dark place


Behold, I stand at the door and knock
If anyone hears My voice and opens the door
I will come in to him and dine with him and he with Me


I’m so happy here, with my Father dear
Once lost, now I’m near again


These things says the Holy One, the true One
The One who has the key of David
The One who opens, no one will shut
And shuts and no one opens (G A D)


I know your works; behold
I have put before you an opened door
Which no one can shut
Because you have
A little power, have kept My word
Have not denied My name (G A D)


How could a country girl like me
Become Your match, Your bride to be?
You’re holy and You are divine
But I’m fallen and human
Without You, Lord, I have no chance
To be like You in this romance
But You chose me ere the world began
Nothing could change Your plan

This divine romance 
Is my heart’s deep plan
I became a lowly man
To court My country girl


(D A Bm F#m G A D A
 D A Bm F#m G A D)
Lord, how long, dear Bridegroom
’Til You come, Lord, how soon?
Don’t delay for that coming day (coming day)
Grant me, Lord, to be filled
With You, Lord, every day
Dearest Lord, take me all the way

Come, Lord Jesus
Please come, dear Bridegroom
Precious One, come soon, come soon
Lord, consume me
O Lord, don’t let me stray
Faithful to You all the way

Lyrics: 
A quotation from "The Experience & Growth in Life" by Witness Lee, p.7

Our spirit, our spirit is our organ to receive 
to receive, to receive God.
So everyday, all the time, we must exercise.
Everyday, all the time, we must exercise this organ- 
to take God's word.
In this way, we receive life. 
This is the experience of life.

The experience of life is just to exercise, to exercise our spirit-
To eat the word, eat the word, that we may receive- (eat the word, eat the word, that we may receive, that we may receive-)LIFE!
In this way, we receive life. 
This is the experience of life.

After being received by us,(received by us)
this life will live out all kinds of divine, spiritual, and heavenly things in an unlimited way.
So everyday, all the time, we must exercise
everyday, all the time, we must exercise this organ- 
to take God's word.
In this way, we receive life. This is the experience of life.

Exercise Our Spirit!

Each One Has (1 Cor 14:26)

D, F#minor, Bminor, F#minor, G, D, G, A

Once I wandered in this vain, decaying, turbulent world 
Finding nothing that gave meaning inside 
In that barren land, I long had thirsted 
But I found that nothing satisfy. 

Then I saw You, Lord, As You revealed Your living water to me 
Saying, “Drink and find an endless supply” 
And I touched You as the living fountain 
As the well that never will run dry. 

And now I wander, thirst no longer 
Since I called on You and took You as my King 
Broken cisterns dry, I leave behind me 
For within I have a living spring. 

Lord, You came to me; so moved by pity 
And You died for me, though lesser than the least 
Once a prodigal, now clothed with mercy 
So by grace I can enjoy the feast.


2 Now that I have Your regenerating life in me, Lord. 
Let me constantly experience You, 
O Lord, soften me and keep me open 
And now all my fleshly life subdue. 

But don't stop there write your law of life upon my innermost being 
And transform me to Your image inside 
Build me up within Your glorious Body 
Till I meet you as Your longed-for Bride. 

And now You draw me with all Your beauty 
Mary poured her all and I will do the same 
Now I consecrate my life to You, Lord. 
And rejoice to suffer for Your name. 

Till we’re built into the consummation 
New Jerusalem with the life-giving tree 
And the river flows through all the City 
Gushing up to eternity.

Once I wandered

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!

1. Lord, it seems
That I fail and fail again.
I see Your face,
But then the veils return again.
Emotion’s stirred, but there’s no change in me.
I’m living in my soul; I have to learn
A little more, each day, O Lord, to turn.

2. Lord, I know
That I’ve truly seen You, but
The vision fades;
I look away to other things.
Remind me, Lord, reveal Yourself to me,
That from my idols I would be set free.
A little more, each day, I want to see.

3. Lord, my mind
Is occupied with many things--
This thorny age,
With all of its anxieties.
My faith is weak; I’m caught up in my cares.
I need to learn to tell it all to You!
A little more, each day, my mind renew.

4. Lord, my will
Is resistant to Your touch.
Disarm me, Lord;
Don’t let me win against Your grace.
I turn my eyes and see Your patient love--
What can I do but stop and come to You?
A little more, each day, my will subdue.

5. Lord, I pray,
Make me desperate for You.
Keep drawing me
And training me to hear Your voice.
Lord, even though my progress is so slow,
You’re by my side; You will not let me go.
A little more, each day, I’d love You so.
A little more, each day, and I will grow.

A Little More, Each Day (Original)
