1
O Jesus Lord, Thou fairest of the fair—
None in heav’n nor on the earth can e’er compare.
Better than wine is Thy sweet love to me,
How could I still seek what’s less than Thee?
All the earthly pleasures could not fill my soul,
Failed to satisfy the longing to be whole.
These all shall pass,
Wither, and fade, and flee,
But, You’re mine
Eternally.

2
Lord, deep within, I’ve still so many things
Hidden in the chambers of my inner being
I hear Thy call—Thy voice, Thy knock—a song.
Lord, come in; hast Thou been kept too long?
Search my heart! There’s nothing I desire to keep.
All is Thine! Do then what Thou, Thy heart, doth please.
But in return
For what Thou take from me,
Fill me Lord,
Eternally.

3
Draw me, Beloved into Thy presence dear,
I would kiss Thy feet and wash them with my tears.
My love I pour, my life I waste on Thee;
Seize this precious opportunity!
I gave all, and yet the gain was so much more:
Thine own person in exchange for love outpoured.
’Tis ne’er a loss
To lose myself to Thee,
My Beloved,
Eternally.

My Beloved, Eternally

The Day Approaches

Capo 2 (G)
https://songbase.life/4446

Lord, I've missed you very very much.
I just long to meet You once again.
Will tomorrow's dawning be the one new chance
I could meet and see You once again?

From the bottom of my very heart,
I'm just desperate longing in my heart.
Please assure, please come to be my all in all.
This whole world's still darkness unto me. 

Though my heart has been given You whole,
Lord, I still don't know where to go!
This tent and altar living,
Lord, by faith still keep me moving on!

Though no strength of mine to run this course,
this far road ahead a simple choice.
If this road is one that lets me meet my Lord,
Though I'm crippled, I still would carry on. 


Let my riches become, oh, so old.
I just want to be hot and not be cold.
Dearest Lord, I'm willing to be none again, 
So, dear Lord, You could be more and more. 

Tis, this is the precious kingdom life.
I will pay the price beyond my strife.
Jesus Christ is both my price and my reward,
That I'll spend, but still gain more and more.

Oh! This One I love is my all!
Drawing me, I follow, that's all.
I am lost in love; I hear His calling!
He will be the One who rivals all!

So, dear Lord, keep flooding my poor soul;
Add Yourself and end all my woes!
You are mine and my one satisfaction.
Oh, I want to gain You more and more.

Lord, I've missed you very very much

All along:

C..............................G....................Am
All along God was searching for man.
C............G............Am
"Where are you, man?"
C.............................................G
Not rebuking, but love, to the sinning one,
Am.........................................C
Waiting for the sentence of death.
F.........................G
But the gospel came,
...C..............Am
The gospel came,
........F.........................................G
The seed of the woman shall reign!

All along God was sweeping in man,
"Where are you, man?"
In rebellion and sin, corruption heap,
Entrenched in the mire so deep.
But the Spirit came,
The Spirit came,
To shine in the depths within. 

All along God was waiting for man,
"Where are you, man?"
To turn from the self and all that he felt
To see the Son of Man,
As the Son of Man,
As the Son of Man,
Enthroned within the heart.

All along God was running to man,
"Where are you, man?"
From eternity far to man's deepest part;
Made life! The spirit of man!
And the garment laid,
The calf was slayed,
All things were for him paid!

All along God was yearning for man,
"Where are you, man?"
For a counterpart sweet, built up, complete, 
Transformed, conformed to Him. 
New Jerusalem, 
New Jerusalem, 
Descending out from heav'n.

All Along

He's The Rock Who's Following Me!

One Yet Three

Once by nature we were dead in sin

Oh Word of God

    D             G
O Spirit in the word,
    D            A
The Triune God expressed.
    Bm                  G
The richest Christ transfused,
  D         A        D
Receive by Spirit’s breath.

So let’s inhale Him…

  G    A  D
O Word of God!

My spirit breathes,

Your Spirit and life
   A      Bm
Supply me forever,
    G         A          D
And make me a God-man complete.

2. The scripture God has breathed,
So I must breathe it in.
Unveiling thus received,
Convicting me within.
Such revelation…

3. The veils fall from my eyes,
Myself I see, abhor.
Exposed I just confess,
I’m crooked, wrong, and short.
The blood is washing…

4. Corrected, I’m restored,
And made upright again.
The revelation yields
Sweet fruits of righteousness.
I love His shining…

5. Instructed in the light,
From Christ’s enlight’ning word,
Rebuilding over time,
My heart by life restored.
He's making home there…

6. O living Spirit-sword,
Apply Yourself to me.
Pierce through, even divide,
My soul and spirit freed.
So I can live You…

7. So take the word by prayer,
The Spirit to apply,
The foes and germs are slain
With flesh and self thereby.
To walk in newness…

8. So nourish me today,
My Breath and living Bread.
Come live through me I pray,
And soon come back again!
Yes, come Lord Jesus!

The Waters Reached the Ankles:

G-----------------Em
The waters reached the ankles and the knees
C----------------G-----------D
and a thousand cubits flowed the water to my loins.
G-------------Em
Another thousand, it became a river
C--------------G-------D
So high I cannot go against the flow.

(Chorus)
Em------------G
So measure me and possess me!
G------------Em------D
Oh do not let me stay unjudged.
G----------Em
I want the flow, not what I know.
G----------D-----G
Lord, lay this self aside.

Lord, I confess, I'm always compensating
The lack of grace with all my efforts vain.
I should have turned to find the grace for timely
Help by the infusing of Your eyes.

Toward the east, this flow is toward the glory,
Preeminent within our lives.
Out of the op'ning and the consecration
Shall flow a stream to irrigate the land.

A golden girdle is upon His breast and
It means His judgment is in love.
It's not for me, it is all for the Body,
This river flows back to the house.

The Waters Reached the Ankles (Ezekiel 47)

Am7
I need to eat.
G
I need to drink.
Am7-------------G
That is the way to be restored.
Am7
I need to see.
G
I need to breathe.
Am7------------G
I need to call "O Lord Jesus!"
F------------G
Eating is the only way
F--------------G
For me to go on each day.

I need to love.
I need to touch,
Spending the time with this Person.
I need to stop.
I cannot rush,
Just absorb His rich essence.
I'm learning just to turn each day.
Op'ning, give the Lord a way.

I need the Lord.
He is my life
in the most specific sense.
He needs to grow,
Transfigured; shown,
Burst from our experience.

1
I’m learning how to spend time with the Lord.
Beginning to believe not how I feel.
But trusting in the Lord’s accomplishments,
  His sovereignty. (Proclaim: “Yes, Lord, I see“)
Why are you still defeated, little one?
As if I’m not the all-inclusive One.
Believing that I am, just look away,
  Away to Me.
2
We certainly will fail time after time.
At times we’re too ashamed to turn again,
Just stop and breathe yourself out on the Lord,
  And breathe Him in. (Proclaim: “Oh, Lord!“)
When there’s no rest in me, He is my rest.
When there’s no peace around, His peace is best.
We know Him through His word, the Spirit brings
  Reality.
3
Present your body, in His presence stay.
He’s faithful and adept all to arrange.
He’s writing His own history today,
  Give Him the way. (Proclaim: “Lord, today!“)
He’s always there to give us what we need.
Our oldness turns to newness—He’s the Spring!
He turns our deadness to enlivening
  By dispensing.
4
So put your introspective mind at ease,
He calls us, “Look away and feast with Me!”
Don’t try to analyze so many things.
  Love and believe. (Proclaim: “Yes, we believe!“)
So call on Him, your open spirit bring,
Not busy with so many outward deeds.
His Body’s rich supply and covering
  Will guard our being.
5
Don’t be afraid to give yourself to Him.
Remaining whole and guarded, we miss Him.
The Body’s life supply the members bring,
  While opening. (Proclaim: “We open, Lord!“)
I need the other members; they need me.
We take the loving way excellingly.
His love is the unique enduring thing
  To make us Him.

I'm learning how to spend time with the Lord

Capo 2

C...................................................F
There are these gentle struggles day by day
...............C...........................G
With the shepherd of our souls. 
C......................................................F....................................C
Throughout the day, He's trying to make a way for Him to gain 
...................D.....................G
permission in our heart to stay. 

G..................C.......................Em
All these limitations and insulations, 
.....................G............................C
He chose to deal with His pure love:
F......................................G
Walking seven miles the wrong way, 
F................................................G
Waiting on the shoreline at the dawn of the day; 
F...............G.............C
Here to restore my soul. 

And many times we simply lose our way
In our mind, emotion, will. 
In every failure, there's a way for Him to 
Saturate until we are a stone for Him. 

There is a shepherd of our inner being, 
An overseer of our real person.
And as a shepherd He will come along
to meet us when our faith in Him is not so strong.

Lord Give Me a Vision (NW College Training 2016 Concecration)

Music by Erica Chao
Guitar: Mary Chou
Vocal: Many Saints (in FTTA 2017)
Lyrics:
1.
Above the waste and emptiness
Broods the Spirit of God,
Bringing forth God’s speaking in us.
Hey! Let there be light!
And the light shines in the darkness,
And the darkness did not overcome.
In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
2
Nights decreasing, day increasing,
Every day His Word we’re seeking;
Don’t be discouraged, spirit releasing!
We are the children of God.

The Son of God Is In My Spirit

Joseph Thamrin's Album

Go Away Satan! (Matthew 4:10)

Written by D.S. 

Consecration is not just a knowing of the right of ownership in the mind or a feeling of love in our affections, nor is it only an attitude and expression of ours toward God. Actually speaking, consecration itself is a part of life, a major part of life. The experience of consecration, therefore, is really the experience of life. The fullness of one's experience of life depends on the fullness of one's experience of consecration. Hence, if one pursues the experience of consecration, it will enable him to grow in life - W.L. The Experience of Life

1
Everything seems to be a downward spiral
But I’m on an upward path;
Currents flow against me, still I keep on going.
Wond’ring if I’ll ever last,
“Do not fear”—I hear the voice of my Christ Jesus:
“Just have faith, for I am the Lord.
All will pass, but what you have in you’s eternal.”
So I simply trust His word.

Chorus:
I am not ashamed to be a Christian!
I am not ashamed to love the Lord!
I am not afraid to stand up for Him no matter what I’m told!
The world can’t understand,
But nonetheless I’ll stand;
Fire will only manifest the gold.

2
Though I feel like I’m the only one that’s different
In these cruel, crooked times,
I will be the salt that kills the world’s corruption
And the light that brightly shines.
Lord, it seems like I’m the only one who’s standing;
Could it be, I’m left on my own?
“Worry not for I have set apart a remnant
Who, like you, seek Me alone.”
 
Chorus:
We are not ashamed to be Christians!
We are not ashamed to love the Lord!
We are not afraid to stand up for Him no matter what we’re told;
The world can’t see it now,
But time will tell, somehow
Fire will only manifest the gold!

1. Is it raining, little flower?
Oh, be glad of rain!
Too much sun would wither thee;
Soon ’twill shine again.
Though the sky is black, ’tis true,
Yet behind it shines the blue.
Is it raining, little flower?
Oh, be glad of rain!

2. Art thou weary, tender heart?
Oh, be glad of pain;
Sweetest things in sorrow grow
As the flow’rs in rain.
God is watching, thou’lt have sun
When the clouds their work have done.
Art thou weary, tender heart?
Oh, be glad of pain.
