Make Me More Precious 
       C                          Am
1. O Lord, how I love You, 
       F                     G
For You have put me, 
C                               Am             F                   G
In the church, Your Bride and Your economy. 
    C                              Am   F                   G
Although I may grow old, I lack maturity 
        C                  Am                  F           G       C
And miss the opportunities presented unto me. 

      F                    G
So, Lord I open up to You,
       C                       Am
Do shield me everyday, 
F                         G            C         C7
Don’t let Satan lead me astray. 
F               G                            Em     Am
Yes! I am willing to pay the price today! 
F                                  G                        C 
Just make me more precious Lord I pray.

2. So many times I fail to pursue you faithfully, 
Many times I fail to redeem the time wisely, 
How I need Your life to remove all of my sins, 
And have Your way in me to overcome within.

3. O Lord Jesus keep me always loving You, 
I want to seek, to know and to experience You, 
How I yearn to keep enjoying in Your grace,
And be a useful vessel today to run the race.

Make Me More Precious

In the darkness of the night,
Sailing on a stormy ocean,
With no hope or peace in sight,
On a churning, gloomy sea.
Amidst the wind and waves, what do I see?
It’s a Man who walks above the waves to me.
And He said,
 	“It is I.
It is I. Don’t be afraid.
Let Me in—
To your boat, I’ll calm the waves.
I can be in you
A harbor, warm and safe.
Just open up your heart.
I am the way.”

All the troubles in my life
Make me feel like I’m surrounded,
Countless problems, pain, and strife,
Come to rob my soul of peace.
I’m worn and weary fighting off the grief.
Is there no one who my suffering can relieve?
The Lord says,
 	“It is I.
It is I. Don’t be afraid.
Let Me in—
To your boat, I’ll calm the waves.
I can be in you
A harbor, warm and safe.
Just open up your heart.
I am the way.”

Jesus is the Son of God,
Come as man, full of compassion.
Crucified upon a cross,
He bore all your sins away.
His life subdues the power of the grave.
Will you let Him soothe your aching heart today?
Then He’ll say,
 	“It is I.
It is I. Don’t be afraid.
Just believe,
Call My name and you’ll be saved.”
Oh Lord Jesus,
You’re the One I need today.
I let You in my heart,
Come in to stay.

It Is I

I just realized dear Lord, You’ve had a longing

I heard the voice of the Lord

Hidden behind every scene

Give yourself to love the Lord

Fill my spirit up

For Which Cause (2. Timothy 1:6)

Rough recording with iPhone, but I really enjoyed this hymn and felt to post. O Lord how we need You!

I Need Thee Every Hour (Hymn 371)

Where is the house you’ll build for Me,
And the place of My rest?
Where then is the house you’ll build for Me,
And the place of My rest?
Heaven is My throne, and the earth
The footstool for My feet.
Where then is the house you’ll build for Me,
And the place of My rest?
 	For all these things My hand has made,
And so all these things have come into being,
    declares Jehovah.
But to this kind of man will I look, to him who is poor
And of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at My word.
 	Where then is the house you’ll build for Me,
And the place of My rest?
Where then is the house you’ll build for Me,
And the place of My rest?
Heaven is My throne, and the earth
The footstool for My feet.
Where then is the house you’ll build for Me,
And the place of My rest?

Where Is The House? (Isaiah 66:1-2)
