有時偶是青天

Message 1, 2023 Memorial Day Conference in Chicago, IL. Each stanza is an aspect of Paul taking Christ as everything in Philippians.

✨✨✨

(LIVING – 1:21)
For to me, to live is Christ
And to die is gain.
Praise You Lord, I’m free from the law—
In Your life I’d remain!

CHORUS
Thank You for the pattern of Your faithful brother Paul
Make me one who takes Christ as my all.

(EXPRESSION – 1:20)
Whether through life or through death
Christ I’ll magnify!
Make me bold, I’ll not be ashamed
My soul You’ll Christify!

(MIND – 2:5)
Lord I want Your mind in me
Thinking the one thing!
Lord I want to be one in soul
To Your heart, I would cling!

(RIGHTEOUSNESS – 3:9)
And be found in You alone,
You’re my righteousness!
Not that which is out of the law
But by Your faithfulness.

(PREEMINENCE – 3:8)
Jesus Lord, You’re excellent,
All things are but loss.
Good or bad—it’s food for the dogs
I’ve left them on the cross.

(GOAL – 3:12-14)
Lord I’m not yet at the goal
But I see the prize!
I forget, I stretch and pursue,
I’ve left all earthly ties.

(VIRTUES – 4:8)
Righteous, dignified, and pure,
Lovely, well, and true.
May I take account of these things
My praise and my virtue.

(POWER – 4:13)
I can do all things in Him
He empowers me!
Living out Christ in everything
By His sufficiency.

(SECRET – 4:11-12)
Hallelujah, I have learned 
In all of my need—
To apply this secret of mine
Yes, in all things indeed.

(EXPECTATION – 3:20-21)
Hope of glory, quickly come—
‘Come Lord’ this I pray.
Eagerly I’m waiting for You
The price, Oh Lord, I’ll pay.

Thank You for the pattern of Your faithful brother Paul
Make me one who takes Christ as my all.
Keep me open to Your daily call.

The Pattern of Paul

NZ National Highschoolers' Training 2024

Give yourself to love the Lord

wst 24 manna from heaven

My Solomon (1:1-2)
You’re so affectionate
Draw me to Yourself
With the kisses of – Your mouth.

Dearest King (1:3-4)
The virgins all love you
But I’ve been brought forth
To enter in Your chambers now.

Fairest one (1:5)
I’m black in my own eyes
But comely in Your sight
Why, I’ll never understand.

You’re a cluster of henna flowers to me
Blooming in the vineyards of Engedi.

My Shulammite (1:1)
This is the Song of Songs
Which belongs to Me
I share it all with you – So come away now!

Country girl (1:9)
Fairest of the fair
My intimate friend
You know what’s in my heart.

Little mare (1:11)
We’ve worked in you crown
Lovely golden braids
Filled with studs of silver.

You’re a flower among thorns to Me
Among the daughters you are My lily.

(Bridge)
So as the winter trials start,
And when idleness frosts my heart
My beloved says to me,
Come away
I’ll come away.

My belov’d (1:13)
Hold me in your arms
Lie between my breasts
You’re beautiful my love.

O My dove (1:15-16)
You’re beautiful to Me!
Oh, you are beautiful!
Beautiful, indeed.

Mingled now (1:16-17)
Indeed our bed is green
We’ve found our place of rest
Our mutual abode.

Here I always will give you my love (7:12)
O come quickly, make haste my belov’d. (8:14)

Come Forward to God

My Solomon

with Tim

Christ is God incarnated
Emmanuel His name men calleth 
Inside of you and me

The name of Jesus is our stand (Hymn 887)
