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

Bit by bit, little by little
I’m gonna love the Lord
Day by day, little by little
I’m gonna grow some more

1
He has changed my heart of stone to flesh
He has given me new life
Through His words of life our spots removed
By giving us His life, we’re gonna be His wife

2
I have died with Him and raised again
He has changed my old to new
We are being built, this new abode,
A home of me and you, divine and human too

Bit by Bit, Little by Little

Every day there is much work to be done
We are entrusted with the work of the Lord!
We need to do business until He comes,
Bringing in more men and feeding them with His word
Yet each day before we start,
He brings this word up in our hearts:

	First we need to rest, just to lay down,
	This is what God wants, before the work abounds.
	First enjoy the Lord! Just drink Him in.
	Once we're filled with Him—let the work begin.

He ordained our days to start in this way,
We clearly see in the creation of man—
The first day of man was the seventh day,
To enjoy God's presence, ere he worked on the land.
In our time it is the same,
This divine principle remains...

So begin your day reclining on Him,
Enjoying Him as the pleasant pasture land,
Sing until He overflows from the brim,
Flowing out from you to reach whoever's at hand.
If you first behold His face,
Your labor will be done by grace!

First Enjoy The Lord!

13 Hebrews Medley

Thy Transforming Love Medley

oh dear Lord, have Your way

Nothing can content me more,
Than Jesus in the morning,
Echoing the hallways of my heart.
My eyes from darkness clearly see,
The love within His smile, for me.
It’s then I know the reason for my life.

 	Jesus, You’re my reason for being here,
Oh, it’s so clear; so I sing!

No greater joy can be for me,
Than turning to Jesus,
When the shadows of the day begin to haunt me.
His soft, warm Spirit spreads throughout,
Quenching all my fear and doubt.
Jesus is the all-inclusive love.

Good Morning, Lord Jesus

Nothing Can Content Me More

Draw me, dear Lord.
Draw me today.
From everything else, dear Lord,
Draw me away.

O Lord, this whole world
Seems to weigh me down.
All the cares, the strife, the sin,
Within me and all around.

But, Lord, I want to set my heart,
And, Lord, I want to stay with You.
’Cause only when You’re near to me
Is everything okay.

And though everything may fall apart
Or everything go my way,
It doesn’t really matter, Lord,
As long as I gain You today.

Draw Me, Dear Lord

(Written by Jacob Freeman)

Oh Lord, Your Name is Sweet! And from it flows
A river full of peace and light and life,
As on it, I cast all my anxious woes. 
I need not think! I only need to call.
In this way, I am less, and You are all. 

It is so rich to call and to receive—
To soak Your Spirit into all my being. 
As I absorb Your riches, I believe
And You are real to me. Oh, but to know
You, dearest Lord, and have a deeper flow!

You are a treasury of endless wealth,
So readily accessible to me!
How great! These riches constitute my health,
My great supply, my strength, my life, my all—
So effortless! I only need to call.

Continually soften all my heart
To cling to You and to receive Your Word.
Lord, make Your home in every inward part,
And, as I call, make deeper every root
That I might grow and bear You richest fruit.

I Only Need To Call (Lyrics by Jacob)

For just as the lightning comes forth from the east
and shines to the west
For just as the lightning comes forth from the east
and shines to the west
So will the coming of the Son of Man be
As the lightning comes forth from the east.

Come, Lord Jesus!
Grow in us!
Make us ready for Your coming!
Gain our hearts, our love, gain Your bride!
Make us those who bring You back!

Matthew 24:27 (EYPC 2019)

"My beloved put his hand into the opening of the door, / And my inner parts yearned for him. I rose up to open to my beloved; / And my hands dripped with myrrh, / My fingers with liquid myrrh, / Upon the handles of the bolt." (Song of Songs 5:4-5)
