I Love the Lord (by S.A.W.)

D
Our God is a God of joy.
  Bm
Enjoying Him is my strength.
    D
His Spirit in mine anoints,
    G                A
And gladness imparts today.
   D
Forgetting all other things,
   Bm
Of service and laboring,
    D
But opening all my being,
 G               A
Exultingly all I sing—

            D
  My God is joy!
             A
  His joy my strength.
              Bm
  He fills my days
                 G
  With ceaseless praise.
     A      D
  My God is love,
          A
  Unspeakable,
           Bm
  So wonderful,
             G               A           D
  With glory full, oh God, become my joy today.

2. Abiding in Christ the Vine,
His living supply I take.
His joy is becoming mine,
By calling upon His name.
This fullness of joy in me
Displaces anxiety,
And fills me with utter peace,
For Christ is my everything!

If Time Could Rest a While”
Verse 1
I wish the world would dance to a funny song,
not fight anymore, no hate, no rights turned wrong.
I wish I could stand by my friends for more than an hour,
no senseless work, no running, just a way to keep my power.
Chorus
But the clock keeps turning, steady and unkind,
my wish stays a wish, drifting out of my mind.
Oh, if I could stop the hands, just for a little while,
if I could stay right here, where I feel alive.
Why can’t we pause the moments that make us smile?
Verse 2
I wish the weapons of force would turn into hands of love,
no despots, no fools, no maze with walls above.
I wish I could show the people a kinder way,
to be neighbors in heart — hear “I love you” every day.
Chorus
But the clock keeps turning, steady and unkind,
my wish stays a wish, drifting out of my mind.
Oh, if I could stop the hands, just for a little while,
if I could stay right here, where I feel alive.
Why can’t we pause the moments that make us smile?
Bridge
Still, a spark keeps burning deep in my soul,
a whisper says, “One heart can still make the world whole.”
So I’ll keep on dreaming, keep reaching for the light,
even a fleeting wish can turn darkness bright.
Final Chorus
Yes, the clock keeps turning, but I won’t lose my way,
my dreams will keep me moving, come what may.
If time can’t stop, then let love take its place —
to hold this world in one gentle embrace.

A Life of No Regrets

He Giveth More Grace

Church Life Medley II (with the transcontinental saints)

Have you had your cup, your cup of Christ in the morning?
Start your day with a little restoring
With Christ as your new beginning
What better way to start than to start the day singing?

	Turn, turn your heart in the morning
	Take His blood, be washed from all things
	Nothing's too big or small for Him,
	He's righteous and He will forgive
	Exercise your spirit in this way

Have you had your cup, your cup of Christ in the morning?
Start your day with a little restoring
With Christ as your life-giving drink
He'll fill your cup, He'll fill you up, until you sink in Christ

	Drink, drink up Christ in the morning
	Drink the One who's overflowing
	In your heart, from the throne He's flowing
	To reach you. With the tree that's growing
	To cherish, to nourish, to refresh, to supply you

Have you had your cup, your cup of Christ in the morning?
Start your day with a little restoring
With Christ as the heavenly air
Just by one simple prayer, you can breathe Him anywhere,

	Call, call His name in the morning
	Join yourself to the One who's soaring
	Transcending over everything,
	Just call His name and breathe Him in
	Don't think; the breath knows where to go
	
Have you had your cup, your cup of Christ in the morning?
Start your day with a little restoring
With Christ as your first and best love
Let Him love you, He's really good at recovering you.

	Love, love your Lord in the morning
	Open wide to His adorning
	By loving you, making home in you,
	Just love your Lord with all your heart,
	With all your soul, with all your mind and strength

Cup of Christ

Composed by M.C.

1.   Lord, Your virtues of faith, peace, life, light, and most of all Your love
         G                        A
Have opened up our hearts;

So come and fill us all our days.

   Lord, loving You is all that we desire,
G                 A                    D-D7
   It's all we live, breathe for;
G                        A           F#m           Bm
   Our constant joy is to be in Your embrace
        G                          A           D
And waiting for Your coming day.
 
2. Keep our hearts ever fresh, soft, pure, unreserved for only You,
Pervade in all our lives;
Lord, it's our yearning for You to make home within our hearts,
Do saturate us every part.
 
3. 'Tis Your mercy and grace as Your lovers we're preserved in Your
Recovery today;
Lord, keep us faithful to You to the end to run the race,
Until we see You face to face.

Loving You is All That We Desire

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

1.
As the world rushes on,
I’m reminded of Thee.
Though time passes away,
There’s eternity in me.

Now nothing ’neath the sun,
But Thou and Thou alone,
Can satisfy my heart.
Things temp’ral will not do;
I’d things above pursue;
Eternal One, Thou art.

2.
Priceless ’tis, now I see,
To spend time seeking Thee.
Time is precious to me,
Limited in quantity.

Lord, I just want to spend
My time with only Thee,
For Thou art worthy Lord.
I’d every moment seize,
Not one spent without Thee,
But with my love, my Lord.

3.
How can I spend my time
That it’d be valuable,
Thousand-fold multiplied,
Ever our memorial?

I’d rather spend a day,
With Thee and with Thy saints,
Than thousand days away.
One thing, that do I seek,
To dwell within Thy house
Beholding Thee always.

4.
New beginning I ask.
All my heart, capture more;
All my time, spent with Thee;
All my days, on Thee outpoured.

The time, may I redeem,
From many wasted days,
From wand’ring aimlessly.
More time I cannot waste;
Thou long didst wait for me,
To turn my being to Thee.

All I Have In Adam Is But Sin And Death
