Bro Steve Watts & Chan house 2024 summer semi annual

God’s Only Goal In Time

This song is for you, and the person who can never see you for who you are. Maybe they don't agree with who you hang out with. Maybe they don't like the music you listen to or the clothes you wear. Maybe they don't like who you live with, or who you voted for, or what you do for a living. Well, we don't care about any of those things. We appreciate you for who you are, so forget about them, and come listen to some cool music. 😎
Special thanks to @julia-gromskaya-385505773 for helping with the arrangement! She has her debut song coming out soon!

Blue Jeans

You came down the stairs to where I was
I showed you things that I had done
Then we played that song that you had loved
In that summer on the bus
It was hot
it was great
And those blue jeans were the craze
Then you stopped and felt the shame
You closed off and left to pray

So you’ll never know the real me
You only believe what you cannot see
Missing everything that’s real and free
Hoarding your gold for heaven’s streets

A few months later we are at your house
I shared a song I wrote out loud
But all you said, to fill the void,
Was “you’ll never make it with your voice”
I was shot
Full of hate
Tore those blue jeans just to say
That my love began to fade
But you forgot and went to pray

So you’ll never know the real me
You only believe what you cannot see
Missing everything that’s real and free
Hoarding your gold for heaven’s streets
But what if I'm wrong?

You came down the stairs to where I was
I showed you everything I loved
And we talked for miles and lost the days
It didn't matter what was faith
It was fun
It was great 
And our blue jeans were the craze
Then this dream began to fade
I woke up and walked away

So you’ll never know the real me
You only will see what you want to see
Missing everything that's real and free
Living your lies religiously

A Life of No Regrets

God Has a Dream

deuteronomy 4:39

as the hart pants (psalms 42:1-2)

1. Lamb of God—our dear Redeeming One is Christ!
For our sins He paid the highest price
To redeem and to recover us
Who were lost and fallen far from God.
As the Lamb, He had no blemish;
He was meek, even submissive.
How can we like Him obedient be
Unto death, that even of the cross?

CHORUS: I want to follow Him,
Rest from all my wandering,
End all my endeavoring;
Even though I know not where or
How—I know He cares!
I know He’ll never err; I know He’ll lead me well.
I know His voice; this now my choice—
Follow where the Lamb would lead.

2. When He came, though many followed in the way,
Few remained who knew Him and His ways.
Lamb of God—He took  the narrow gate;
The constricted way to life He traced;
Sacrificed, though men denied Him;
Gave His life, though men forsook Him.
How can we t’ward Him still hardened be
When to us He gave all selflessly?

3. Lord we pray, preserve us faithful in the way
All our days, never to fall away.
By Your grace, keep us pursuing You,
Taking up the cross to follow You.
Consecrate we unreservedly,
Absolute for You entirely.
In our hearts, Lord, let the highways be
Unto Zion single-heartedly.

CHORUS 2: Now we will follow Him!
To His call we’re answering,
All we are we’re offering.
New Jerusalem we see
Come down from heav’n to earth!
God and man mingled now, our oneness we avow
Eternally, O gloriously!
This is where the Lamb would lead!

I Want To Follow Him

1
Once bound by self I lived to me,
Peculiar and set, independently;
Unbuildable, no preciousness,
Just earthen and dross, heap of worthlessness.
Then light shined penetratingly
True condition exposed entirely.
Abhoring self, my desp’rate plea:
Strip me thoroughly, Lord; from self set free.
 	
Lo, the God of glory
Has appeared and called me
To a glorious calling,
Though I was unworthy.
Lord, now for the building
Make me more than willing,
Open for Your mingling,
My all on the altar to bring.

2
His sov’reign mercy made me see
The only way in God’s economy—
The cross applied effectually;
What I am and can do must all desist.
My person of whate’er repute,
My devices, must not Christ substitute.
The center of my universe—
The all-op’rative cross; let Christ be first.
 	
Lo, the God of glory
Has appeared and called me
To a glorious calling,
Though I was unworthy.
Lord, now for the building
Make me more than willing,
Open for Your mingling,
My all on the altar to bring.

3
Now here we are, called on to build.
As members of Christ, we are richly filled.
As He increases, we decrease;
The one new man wondrously comes to be.
Our inward being we open wide,
Let the Spirit transform and occupy;
Soak, saturate, with Christ inwrought,
Till from glory to glory we are brought.
 	
Lo, the God of glory
Has appeared and called us
To a glorious calling,
Though we were unworthy.
Lord, now for the building
Make us more than willing,
Open for Your mingling,
Our all on the altar to bring.

4
Laid hold by vision of His house,
We build earnestly, from indiff’rence roused.
Although the world thinks us but fools,
To God, we’re exceedingly precious jewels.
Our eyes behold eternity,
Glorious destiny seen transparently.
Arise! Make haste this age to turn
That the glory longed for may soon return!

 Oh, what glorious vision!
God’s will and intention—
The return of glory
To His house effulgently.
Let this vision seize us,
Measure, judge, possess us,
Till we’re built up; come, dear Lord,
Fill Your house with glory once more!

2019 Medley (with Ben Cooley)

Hymn #593

1	All I have in Adam is but sin and death,
 	I in Christ inherit life and righteousness;
 	When in flesh abiding, Adam I express,
 	But when in the spirit Christ is manifest.
2	When I am in Adam, though I may not sin,
 	Unto death, a sinner, sentenced I have been;
 	When in Christ I need not righteously to act,
 	I’m already righteous, justified in fact.
3	In the flesh I need no effort to express
 	Marks of Adam’s nature and its sinfulness;
 	In the spirit I need not to strive or strain,
 	I can live as He is and in spirit reign.
4	Thru my death with Christ, from Adam I am free,
 	Thru my life with Christ, new life is giv'n to me!
 	Minding not the flesh, old Adam cannot move,
 	Minding just the spirit, life divine I prove.
5	Minding just the spirit is God’s saving way,
 	Minding just the spirit, Christ we will display;
 	Minding just the spirit, we can overcome,
 	Minding just the spirit, we the race may run.
6	Minding just the spirit, we the cross will know,
 	And His resurrection pow’r thru us will flow;
 	Minding just the spirit, Christ will live thru me,
 	And His life within will reach maturity.
7	In the spirit Christ is life and all to me,
 	Strengthening and blessing all-inclusively;
 	Living in the spirit, holiness I prove,
 	And the triune God within my heart doth move.

All I Have In Adam Is But Sin And Death
