Universal Love

Capo 1

C Am
1. *I was a stranger in a *barren land,
F
Not knowing the *God of glory planned
G C
To call me out *from the world into this journey. *
Am
By faith He led me to the *promised land
F
Where living water *freshens me
Gsus - Gsus7
And satisfaction’s *in the living *tree…

Chorus 1:
C G
In the church*—here to stay!*
Am
Countless times* I’ve failed but
F
You show* me the way back.
C G
I'm not* of this world!*
Am
You’ve appeared* to me Lord,
F
There's no* turning back.
C - F
I've *seen my destiny*
Em - Am
Is *an eternal city*
Dm Gsus C
Whose *Architect and Buil*der is my God*

2. Though God has brought me to this chosen land,
At times I don't really understand
The sufferings I go through, “Lord is all this for me?”
I am a man under Your sovereign hand.
Your mercy shines and now I see,
Your tenderheartedness to deal with me…

Chorus 2:
In the church, have Your way.
Strip me off of the earthly joys that replace You.
I’m not for this world.
Though the old man decays,
I’m daily renewed
My life on earth must be
To seek a better country
Whose Architect and Builder is my God

3. As I sojourn this temporary land,
Lord strengthen me, so trials I’d withstand,
Not losing sight of the eternity before me.
My future is brighter than what's at hand.
These sorrows, they will fade and flee
As glory fills me for eternity.

Chorus 3:
We’re the church in this age,
Getting ready to meet our Bridegroom that day!
We are not for this world!
We’re preparing for the new heav’n and new earth.
To be His masterpiece,
His bride eternally—
Our destiny’s the New Jerusalem.

Not For This World

(Us)
D A
Beneath this mask—this smile I wear—
Bm F#m
Which tells the world that I’m okay,
G D
That I am strong and nothing in
Em A
My life can drag me down today,
D A
Beneath this mask hides loneliness,
Bm F#m
And questions: what is life all for?
G D
And worries and anxieties
Em A D
Like rain from heaven, pour and pour.

(Christ)
“Why do you struggle on your own?
Just come to Me, pour out and call,
The feeling of your weaknesses
I’m touched with—yet I conquered all.
As Spirit in your spirit I’m
Contactable, available,
I’ll make more home within your heart,
And heal by life your turbid soul.”

(Us)
Beneath this mask—this smile I wear—
I am a child longing for
A home where I feel safe and loved,
A people I can call my own,
Beneath this mask—a cry for help,
I’m drifting on a stormy sea,
I’m tossed about from wave to wave,
With no direction how to be.

(Christ)
“Why do you struggle on your own?
I’ll be your Good Samaritan,
I’ll pour the oil and the wine,
I’ll lead you to your home, the inn,
The household of the faith is where,
Your turbid soul will find true rest,
And I too find My resting place,
My Body, where I’m manifest."

Why Do You Struggle?

The Bible reveals that God is a sovereign Potter who created human beings as vessels to be filled with Him. Isaiah 64:8 says, “But now, Jehovah, You are our Father; we are the clay; and You, our Potter; and all of us are the work of Your hand.”

When we receive God’s salvation in Christ, we receive Jesus Christ into us. Like water fills a cup, Jesus Christ fills our human spirit. And as we enjoy Him day by day, He spreads into our thoughts, feelings, and intentions. He is the “treasure in earthen vessels” (2 Corinthians 4:7).

This song is full of prayers to be filled with the Lord. It was originally written for a young people's conference titled "Vessels unto Honor." It’s also the title track of our new album, “I’m Your Vessel.”

I'm Your Vessel

Exodus 33:11 says, “Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend.” The Lord is longing to speak to us—we just need to allow Him to draw us to Himself, morning by morning.

“O God, You are my God; early will I seek You” (Psalm 63:1).

We wrote this song a long time ago, and we’re happy to finally release a recording of it as part of our new album, “I’m Your Vessel.”

Draw Me This Morning

The Lord is calling us to be part of His eternal purpose to build up the church as the Body of Christ, His glorious expression. This song is a prayer to turn to the Lord, open to Him, and offer ourselves to Him.

It’s also the opening song on our new album, “I’m Your Vessel.”

Wendy Chao's Album

Bone of My Bones

Song Credit: E.T.
1. Who can ever know the feeling deep down in my heart?
Who can really understand my weakness to sustain?
When I have lost hope to carry on by myself,
Your person stands by me to be my hope and life.

Chorus: 
Your love so deep moving and sweet
How can I still stubborn be;
No more I struggle and strive,
Trust in Your faith and rest in Your breast.

2. When I feel the touch of Your hand upon my life,
I sense the flow of life flowing rich and free;
When You wipe away every tear in my eyes,
Sorrow has depart'd, behold a smiling face!

Who Can Ever Know the Feeling

A                              D                 A
What will turn our sorrows to joy?
                       E                              A    
Abounding thanks, unceasing praise!
          D                           A
Anxiety succumbs to peace
                                  E                              A      A7
When prayer with thanks does never cease.

Chorus:
                         D
O thank You, Jesus
                             A        
Your care, Your love unchanging
E                                    A                 A7
In everything, we can praise and sing;
                          D
No more complaining,
                       A 
Our joy maintaining through the 
  E                    E7                  A    D  A
One who supplies all our needs!

2
What's the will of God for our days?
Always rejoice, at all times pray;
In everything, our thanksgiving 
To God for bountiful blessings!

3
Turn away, give thanks, yes! Give thanks!
Never obey what feelings say
And as we turn, we'll be released,
For thanking God has set us free!

What will turn our sorrows to joy
