I've Got Something To Sing About

He's my God

Obwohl nichts lief- mit Bremen

God is our refuge and strength

recall how David swore

1. Lord, fill me up past the brim,
Pouring in from limb to limb. 
It’s Your love that comforts me 
Deeper and wider  than the sea. 

CHORUS:
	 I am a Jesus Bottle!
	 I am an open vessel!
	 I am a gushing fountain
	 Flowing with Christ Jesus my Lord!   

2. Lord I was blind; I could not see.
It’s Your light that shines through me.
Nothing can explain how bright
Like Your star that appeared that night.

3. Power that is a mystery;
It’s Your Spirit infusing me.
All because of God’s vast grace,
There’s this big smile on my face!

I Am A Jesus Bottle!


To You, dear Lord,
I give myself afresh again
Unsparingly for Your desire,
Your economy;

O fire from above,
Come and consume me thoroughly
That You may be my all, my life,
My everything.

It’s Your mercy and Your love
That I can give myself to You.
Since it’s in like manner
That You gave Yourself up for me.

Set Your throne in my heart
From now on ‘til the very end.
It takes eternity to know its worth
To You, to me.

To You, Dear Lord

G                       C             G                                    C                 D             G
Father, you know, I’ve gone my own way. I took what’s mine; I just couldn’t stay.
           G                    C         G                           C                D         G
I felt I was missing out on something; I took a road to a distant place.
                 C                D         G                             C                   D          G
But father I still think often of you- and of your house full of love for me.
                C                                              Bm            Em  
Your family, the atmosphere, and your presence sweet: 
                                   C                   D          G
these thoughts draw my heart so tenderly.


Father, you know, all that you gave me– is gone. I spent it the world to see.
It’s joys and pleasures seduced and lured me, but lasting joy’s still eluding me.
And so I muse on your house, dear Father: both peace and joy are abundant there.
Around me here I seem to see only misery-
The joy from home’s but a memory. 


Father, surely you know of famine. I am so hungry it gnaws within.
I could eat food from this filthy pig pen. 
We all are dying here in our sin.
But father, why should I let this happen? Your house is so full of wealth and food.
Even the servants serving you, have more than I do.
O father, I must return to you!


Father, you know that I’m so weary- beat up and filthy- yet now I come.
I’m full of shame for the years I’ve wasted. I’m now not worthy to be your son.
But is that you, father, I see running? From far away you did notice me.
How can you still embrace me now, kiss me tenderly? 
Compassion like this, I’ve never seen.


Father, you know the depth of my sin against the heavens and before you.
Unexpectedly, you have received me. I hear no judgement- but just mercy.
Bring out the best robe! Bring him the sandals! And put the ring on my lost son’s hand.
Bring out the calf for us to eat and let’s have a feast! Come now rejoice with me merrily!
                      C                          Bm           Em                         C                   D
Because this son of mine was dead and lives, and he was lost and was found
      G
 again.

Father, You know

C                          G                    F                            G
Lord, You can have it, if that’s what you require
C                          G                   F                             G
And you can touch this thing, if that is Your desire.
Am            Dm                               G                             C
I want to see you have your full free way in me-
          F        G                       C
So I let go… and open wide.

Lord please don’t spare me- do all that’s on Your heart
Regarding me; I pray, You’d touch my every part.
My deepest prayer is that You’d make your home my heart-
So I let go… and open wide.

Lord occupy me- I now invite You in;
Possess each inward part, subduing me within.
I deeply long to be a person one with You-
So I let go… and open wide.

All hidden love of self come in and quickly slay;
All things replacing You, deal with and take away.
My only hope is that You’d be supreme in me-
So I let go… and open wide.


So I let go

C Capo 4

C                                    F                 G
Today Lord, I am praying for You.
           C                    Am                F                   G
I’m praying that you would finally get through-
        Em                  Am               F                    G
In parts of my being where I still am king-
         C                     G                 C
Oh Lord, I am praying for You.


Today Lord, I am open to You.
I open the parts I’ve never dared to-
The depths of my being- the places not seen.
Oh Lord, I am open to You.

Today Lord, I am worshipping You.
You are the life seed. You know how to break through.
Resistance that’s in me, cannot stop the seed!
Oh Lord, I am worshipping You.

Today Lord, I say “Amen” to You-
Your will way and time- whatever You would do.
Do what is on Your heart- don’t spare any part.
Oh Lord, I say “Amen” to You.

Today Lord, I give myself to You.
I hold nothing back. I waste my life on You.
‘cause You are most precious. Your worth- measureless!
Oh Lord, I give myself to You.
