love

A song Ronny and I wrote in beautiful Vanuatu - John 6:63, 68.

[C] To whom shall we [C7] go
To [F] whom shall we [Dm] go
You have [C] words of [Am] eternal [Dm] life [G]
(Repeat - end with C Dm C C7)

It [F] is the [Fm] Spirit who gives [C] life
The [G] flesh [G7] profits [C] nothing [C7]
The [F] words which [Fm] I have spoken to [C] you
Are [D] spirit [D7] and are [G] life [G7]

To Whom Shall We Go (Original) - with Ronny (2016)

For those who wanna jam with their eyes closed, tada! Just some hymns with the same four chords - C G Am F. 

Made this with Sam in the last few days of training. Those were the days... 


Lyrics:
(Part 1)
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all respects like us, yet without sin (yet without sin).

Whom having not seen you love (you love).

But unto you who fear My name (x2).

The love of God, and the grace of Christ, and fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you, be with you all (be with you all, be with you all).

(Part 2)
He gives power to the faint, and to those who have no vigour He multiplies strength.

Thus says Jehovah, heaven is My throne (heaven is My throne).

I’m so happy here with my Father dear.

Some, these days, would tell us that our Jesus is not food, that we only need to know about Him and do good. But we're glad to tell you, brothers, it's just not that way. Jesus is the bread of life, we eat Him every day. 

We are the church, ekklesia.

Remind me, Lord, the reason why I live and breathe. Remind me, Lord, that I'm a vessel for Your purpose.

God is rich in mercy because of His great love. He manifested this by sending His Son. 

The church is the building up of all God’s chosen and redeemed, regenerated, and transformed people.

What things were gains to me, these now I count as loss. Jesus has set me free from what I was.

Now from my heart comes a happy song. It’s just for you, Lord; there’s only one. J-E-S-U-S, I love You (I love You).

I love You, Jesus, deep down in my heart (x2). Talk about deep, deep, down, down, deep down in my heart.

Joy (x10).

(Part 3)
(Key change - D A Bm G)

I know not what awaits me, God kindly veils my eyes.

God hath not promised skies always blue, flower-strewn pathways all our lives through.

Drawn to the Cross which Thou has blest, with healing gifts for souls distrest. To find in Thee my life, my rest, Christ crucified, I come. 

Take time to behold Him, speak oft with thy Lord. Abide in Him always and feed on His Word.

Jesus, living Word.

It’s not a message that I’ve heard, not some points that I have learned, not a song or verse I know by heart.

I am the living bread, which came down out of heaven.

And he said to me, Drink of My river of water of life; drink of what truly satisfies. My supply will not fail you, and My river will carry you through, if you come to Me, your loving King, and drink.

O Jesus, Jesus, dearest Lord, forgive me if I say. 

I am one with Thee, Lord Jesus, one in spirit now with Thee. All Thyself I now possess, Lord; all Thou art now lives in me.

All in all forever, only Christ I'll sing. Everything is in Christ, and Christ is everything.

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

Open To Me (Original) - with Sam (2016)

JT, RT, EH. 

Isaiah 55:8-11 For My thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not My ways, declares Jehovah. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so My ways are higher than your ways, and My thoughts higher than your thoughts. For just as the rain comes down and the snow from heaven, and does not return there, until it waters the earth and makes it bear and sprout forth, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater; so will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; it will not return to Me vainly, but it will accomplish what I delight in, and it will prosper in the matter to which I have sent it.

Part One:
For My thoughts are not your thoughts
And your ways are not My ways
Declares Jehovah (declares Jehovah)
For My thoughts are not your thoughts
And your ways are not My ways
Declares Jehovah (declares Jehovah)

Part Two:
For as the heavens are higher than the earth
So My ways are higher than your ways
For as the heavens are higher than the earth
So My ways are higher than your ways
And My thoughts higher than your thoughts
And My thoughts higher than your thoughts

(Part One)

Part Three (can be sung with Part One):
So will My word be
Just as the rain comes down
And the snow from heaven
Until it waters the earth
It makes it bear and sprout
That it may give seed and bread
My word will not return to Me vainly

For Her

w/ LJ

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.

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.

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!

love
