O Light of light, shine in!

From the time I spoke Your Name,
Lord, my life's not been the same
Since I called on the only One Who'd save me.
When forsaken, in despair—
Who'd have thought that You'd be there?
Now I've found out, Jesus, You're alive!

	Now my eyes begin to see
	I'm living as I ought to be,
	As this turning, burning God
	Moves in my heart.
	I don't care now how I feel;
	I just know that this is real,
	And I know, O Jesus, You're alive!

All my friends may think it’s square,
Since I’ve touched You I don’t care,
For I’ve found You’re the only life worth living.
Though some mock and criticize,
Lord, they just don’t realize
That I’ve found out, Jesus, You’re alive!

It's no statue that I call,
Not a picture on the wall,
But a Person Who lives His life within me.
Wish they'd told me long before,
All You want's an open door,
And that really, Jesus, You're alive!

From the time I spoke Your name

To my Lord I will sing, for I’ve received
Endless mercy, love and grace in Jesus my King.
Oh, what love!
Even though undeserved, He gave Himself for me.

	Now I open my heart
	To offer praise to Thee; 
	There is an infinite gratitude 
	In all my heart 
	For all You’ve giv’n to me.

To fulfill all the law, He took my place;
He obeyed, e’en suffering, my sin to erase.
I’m redeemed!
Jesus has satisfied God’s heart, and set me free!

	Now I open my heart
	To offer praise to Thee.
	There is an infinite gratitude
	In all my heart
	For all You’ve done for me.

Wondrous news You’ve revealed—now I can see!
Oh, what grace! Your love divine is flowing in me!
Oh! That gaze!
Eyes full of tenderness! Beholding face to face,

	Now I open my heart
	To offer praise to Thee.
	There is an infinite gratitude
	In all my heart
	For all You’ve shown to me.

Riven veil—living way thus He affords.
He arose, the work completed! Oh, praise the Lord!
Oh! What peace!
Now I can boldly come into the holiest place!

	Now I open my heart
	To offer praise to Thee.
	Your name is infinite plenitude!
	Oh, Jesus Lord!
	You’re everything to me!

Infinite Gratitude

Jesus, Fountain of my days

One of our batch's favorite hymn.

NS 854

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!”

Chorus:
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!

Draw me, to pursue You foolishly
