I CHOOSE TO STAY 
https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/ns/899

1.
If my pathway seems not clear,
Then be my sight that leads to life.
If, Lord, I have Your presence dear,
Then Lord my future will be bright.
I long to stay, Lord, earnestly!
But mercy’s all that’s keeping me.
 	
Cho:
I choose to stay, remain in life;
Save me from death, turn me to life.
Chase all the shades of night away;
Chase all dark thoughts of sin away.
Since through Your word I gain more life,
Lord, let me come be filled with life.

2
As I go on, there’s a test:
Will I all things, dear Lord, detest?
Will I to “precious” things adhere,
Yet lose Your presence, Lord, so dear?
If I’m by pride, ambition, lost,
Then, Lord, expose me at all cost.
 
3
If foll’wing You is at great price,
What can I give except my life?
Let me become a sacrifice,
To live a self-denying life,
A life that cares for nothing else
But Christ my all, my universe!

Dear Lord Throughout These Years

D
Our God is a God of joy.
  Bm
Enjoying Him is my strength.
    D
His Spirit in mine anoints,
    G                A
And gladness imparts today.
   D
Forgetting all other things,
   Bm
Of service and laboring,
    D
But opening all my being,
 G               A
Exultingly all I sing—

            D
  My God is joy!
             A
  His joy my strength.
              Bm
  He fills my days
                 G
  With ceaseless praise.
     A      D
  My God is love,
          A
  Unspeakable,
           Bm
  So wonderful,
             G               A           D
  With glory full, oh God, become my joy today.

2. Abiding in Christ the Vine,
His living supply I take.
His joy is becoming mine,
By calling upon His name.
This fullness of joy in me
Displaces anxiety,
And fills me with utter peace,
For Christ is my everything!

I come to His presence afresh

Chosen, called, responding to You, 
Meeting You has given my life value. 
Though I’m young, I haste to pursue You, To be a vessel Your riches shine through.
Consecrating, I hesitate: Can I that blest goal of glory attain?
In Your light I suddenly see: Not my might, but Your unrivaled mercy!

Fresh consecration! Wholly for Thee, I’ll closely follow, time redeem!
Live Your transcendent life, Lord, through me, That the treasure within be seen!

Treasure hid in vessels of earth Manifests Your power and transcendence;
In Your face’s light e’er abiding, If nearer Thee, naught more would I desire.
Pressure, persecutions, and wounds Just bring resurrection life into bloom;
Though we suffer light transient pain, The eternal weight of glory’s gained!

God of glory shines, drawing us; Goodbye world, our lives are for God’s purpose!
Precious vessels ready for using, No matter where, as long as it’s with Thee.
We are washed and cleansed by Your word, Unencumbered, holy, transparent, pure;
Mold us, Lord, conform us to Thee; At Your call, we’d rise up instantly!

New Jerusalem is our dream; For her building, steadfast we’re pursuing;
Love outpoured, sweet ointment o’erflowing, Fight boldly for the interests of our God.
Vital, spread the God-ordained way Till as one the new revival we gain;
Oh my Lord, my love, quickly come, As You promised, in our generation!

Treasure in Earthen Vessels (Chosen, Called, Responding to You)

2019 Medley (with Ben Cooley)

https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/ns/141

Capo 2 - D
Since long before the world began,
In Your heart You longed for a Bride;
’Tis mutual dwelling, Your glorious plan;
With me e’er to abide.

Not knowing Your heart,
I sinned and thus should die;
Yet You shed Your blood to set me free.
You gave me Your life, to me drew nigh;
Wondrous love! We two one forever will be.

O glorious divine love! How can I fathom,
Higher than the sky, deeper than the sea;
It crushes death’s pow’r and Satan’s kingdom;
Nothing can compare with Your love to me
So fervid and so deep, so gentle and so true;
I’m in love, Lord, with You.

I give You my heart, my life and my soul,
Come suffering or joy whatever betide.
By Your boundless grace, I’ll lay down my all
To build up Your church, Your glorious Bride;
Your heart to satisfy, mutual abode we’ll be
In eternity.
