1
The age is turning! Saints, awake!
The Lord returns to judgment make!
Behind the scenes our God is reigning,
Heaven’s will on earth attaining.
Don’t with past gains be satisfied;
Recalculate in judgment’s light.
The world forsake, with its ties; leave all behind.
“Who will overcome?” “Lord, here am I!”
 	
Overcomers, steadfast in heart,
From the Lamb’s lead never depart.
Love with all our heart, all our strength, faithful to death;
Serve in resurrection fragrantly.
Christ, the church—life’s meaning we see;
We’ll spend all our being gladly,
Build God’s temple and city grand, God one with man;
New Jerus’lem radiant be!
2
As we pursue, and trials face,
Your sov’reign mercy we can trace.
We’re open vessels, consecrated.
Living Spring, come permeate us.
Inscribe Your law, our mind renew;
Come sanctify us wholly, too.
We’ll watch, buy oil now, “today,” feast’s entrance gain;
Virgins, echo You—“O Lord, come soon!”
3
Today You call for instruments
Who will respond, Your heart reprint,
Be vital, fervent, overcoming,
Time redeeming ev’ry instant.
As stewards, timely food dispense;
As servants, wisely to invest;
Perfected, functioning, we build corp’ rately,
Blend, coordinate, new man to be.
4
These final days, Your call we heed,
As remnants, standing mightily.
The arrow’s fired; the fight’s decided;
The white horse in triumph rideth.
High gospel to all earth declare!
We’ll migrate, spread, His witness bear;
We’ll forward race with bold strides, stake our whole lives,
Kingdom’s entrance share, glory fore’er!

Until We All Arrive Medley

God Has Called Us For His Purpose

I love You, Lord Jesus
You're worthy of my life.
I relinquish all control
And give You every right.
Only You, only You
You're the One attracting me
In all things, nothing may I see or want but You.

Every concept, all desires
I now forsake for You
Shine on all that I can't see
On all that is not You
Live Your life, live Your life
I've been crucified with You
Every moment I would live in oneness, Lord, with You

When I struggle, grant me grace to turn my eyes to You
Keep my heart so close to You
My love, so fresh and new.
Come in Lord, come in more
I would seek none else but You
All my life, my love, my all
I pour it Lord, on You.

I Love You, Lord Jesus

This song applies verses from the Old Testament book of Judges—which speak of a different kind of resolution—to our experience as believers today.

In Judges 4, the children of Israel had been taken over by another people. The Lord delivered them from their oppression through the prophetess Deborah and the military leader Barak. In preparing for the battle that freed them, Judges 5 mentions that among the divisions of Reuben (one of the tribes of Israel) there were “great resolutions of heart” (v. 15) and “great searchings of heart” (v. 16). Many among the people of Israel “offered themselves willingly” (vv. 2, 9) to the Lord to meet the need of His people.

The times we are living in give many of us the sense that we are in the last days before the Lord’s coming. The Lord’s need and the need of His people are great. Our prayer is that God’s people would have great resolutions in heart to consecrate themselves to Him for the accomplishment His eternal purpose.

Great Searchings of Heart

Come and let us return to Jehovah;
For He has torn us, but He will heal us,
And He has stricken us, but He will bind us up.
He will enliven us after two days;
And on the third day He will raise us up,
And we will live in His presence.
On the third day He will raise us up,
And we will live in His presence.

Therefore let us know,
Let us pursue knowing Jehovah;
Therefore let us know,
Let us pursue knowing Jehovah:
His going forth is as sure as the dawn
And He will come to us as the rain
As the late rain which waters the earth.
Therefore let us know,
Let us pursue knowing Jehovah.

Hosea 6:1-3 | by Titus Ting

1.	Lord, I was blind; I could not see
In Thy marred visage any grace,
But now the beauty of Thy face
In radiant vision dawns on me.

2.	Lord, I was deaf; I could not hear
The thrilling music of Thy voice;
But now I hear Thee and rejoice,
And all Thine uttered words are dear!

3.	Lord, I was dumb; I could not speak
The grace and glory of Thy name;
But now, as touched with living flame,
My lips Thine eager praises wake.

4.	Lord, I was dead; I could not stir
My lifeless soul to come to Thee;
But now, since Thou hast quickened me,
I rise from sin’s dark sepulcher.

5.	For Thou hast made the blind to see,
The deaf to hear, the dumb to speak,
The dead to live; and, lo, I break
The chains of my captivity.

Your throne, O God, is forever and ever
The sceptre of Your kingdom is uprightness
Righteousness you’ve loved, wickedness You hated
Anointed with the oil of gladness

All Your garments smell of myrrh and of aloes
Of myrrh and aloes and of cassia
From palaces of ivory, built for Christ the King,
Harpstrings have made You glad.

My Heart Overflows(Cover by E & Z)

1)
Lord Jesus, thank You for this very day,
I do believe in You; I do love You.
Thank You that I can know what’s in Your heart:
You want to make me one with You.
I open my entire inner being,
My every inward part is just for You.
Is there a part You have not entered yet?
I need Your shining to repent.
 
Lord, here I am, I’m enterable.
Saturate me and possess me today.
Gain me, increase more in me,
Make Yourself thus one with me.
Lord, make me You, in life and nature,
Deify me, Lord, and Christify me,
Sonize me even today,
For Your dear Body’s sake.

2)
Thank You for showing me Your heart’s desire:
You would be one with me—I say, Amen!
You’re fully able to accomplish this;
Today, I give myself to You.
To not live contradiction, I agree—
With any kind of friction in my being.
In all the ordinary things of life,
Lord, make me always one with You.

Make Me One with You

1. Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth,
Whether bitter cold north wind or gentle south;
You are beautiful, my love,
With your eyes of turtledoves;
“Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth“.

CHORUS:
Lord I love You, I really love You,
You’re the dearest, sweetest, precious love to me!
Lord I love You, I really love You,
Jesus, my Beloved, for eternity!

2. She’s become a lily, simple, pure and sweet,
Not relying on her naturalness and strength
She is trusting in Christ’s life,
In His rich abundant life;
“Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth“.

3. She’s become a garden, fountain, streams, and springs,
From which fragrant, luscious produce Christ’s life brings,
Resurrection life expressed,
In ascension she can rest;
“Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth“.

4. She’s become the New Jerusalem, His Bride,
Where His presence for eternity abides,
Here His faithfulness we prove,
And we serve Him for His move;
“Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth“.

5. In the final stage of love a kiss remains,
Where the lover and His love forever reign,
“When I find you here with Me, 
I will kiss you, all will see”;
“Let Him kiss me with the kisses of His mouth“.

Two Kisses

Be Set Free

This Is The Year Of Jubilee

from [ Shout Hosanna ] / by [ Ray, Amy Huff ]

1)
Through God's word, my hope at His returning
Is that all my being be redeemed;
Yet in times of grief and tribulation,
Doubt and fear arise, no hope is seen.
In those hours, when prayer cannot be uttered,
Only groaning from my breast is heard.
Then the Spirit, in like manner, helps me,
Praying in my weakness unto God.

2)
Lord, my prayer is not for deeper suffering,
But that from each trial I'd be free.
Let the cup of bitterness be taken;
Yet, Thy will, not mine, dear Lord, must be.
Even now, though trials sore surround me,
Still within my heart there is a peace,
For the love of God outpoured within me
Floods my heart and bids my doubting cease.

3)
Blest assurance! God has fully ordered
Every matter by His sovereign hand;
Every person (though we see so dimly),
Every thing's according to His plan.
Every trial is but the Father's answer
To the groaning of the Spirit's prayer;
May He gain in every tribulation,
Until we Christ's glory fully share.

4)
How could God from all His dealings spare us,
After He spared not His only Son?
Could the Potter's hand upon the vessel
Ever leave the shaping work undone?
For the center of God's heart's desire
Is that many brethren we will be
Unto Christ, His precious First-begotten,
And to Him, conformed we'll fully be.

5)
Heirs of God! Joint-heirs with our Lord Jesus!
What a hope of glory this for us!
Though the suff'rings presently seem grievous,
Greater far the glory then for us!
Yea, in all these things we more than conquer,
Through the One whose love has us possessed;
Soon the day for which waits all creation,
When the sons of God are manifest!

( Source: Romans 8:17~39 )
