Bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; She will be for me a counterpart!"

I CHOOSE TO STAY 
https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/ns/899

1.
If my pathway seems not clear,
Then be my sight that leads to life.
If, Lord, I have Your presence dear,
Then Lord my future will be bright.
I long to stay, Lord, earnestly!
But mercy’s all that’s keeping me.
 	
Cho:
I choose to stay, remain in life;
Save me from death, turn me to life.
Chase all the shades of night away;
Chase all dark thoughts of sin away.
Since through Your word I gain more life,
Lord, let me come be filled with life.

2
As I go on, there’s a test:
Will I all things, dear Lord, detest?
Will I to “precious” things adhere,
Yet lose Your presence, Lord, so dear?
If I’m by pride, ambition, lost,
Then, Lord, expose me at all cost.
 
3
If foll’wing You is at great price,
What can I give except my life?
Let me become a sacrifice,
To live a self-denying life,
A life that cares for nothing else
But Christ my all, my universe!

1
Once a sinner, now I’m saved;
Still, I lack in many ways.
Lord, it feels like nothing has changed.
Patient, yet I cannot wait;
Loving, yet not void of hate;
Lord, I don’t want to stay the same.
Thought I had to come up with my own solutions,
But You’re showing me the way to take.

Chorus:
I don’t have to know my complications;
I just need to grow in the Lord,
Enjoying Him day by day,
Pursuing Him with the saints,
Absorbing Him just as a branch would in the vine.
There’s no need for me to struggle and to strive;
Just to grow in life.

2
Eating Your word when I wake,
Nothing should get in the way;
Calling ceaselessly on Your name.
Meeting You with all the saints,
Feasting on Your boundless grace,
Praising as I call it a day.
I’ve let go of all religious regulations;
Found a new, enjoying way to take.

Just to Grow in Life - WJ, TS

1 Before the heav'ns and earth were framed, G D Em-D
In His Triune convocation, G Bm D
The will of God yet unproclaimed G D Em-D
In the dawn before creation, G Bm D
The hidden heart of God would whisper yet no answer! Em G A D
Within His heart, the words He might have said: C A D
"It is not good for Me to be alone; C G Am-D-G
I will make Myself a counterpart!" C G D
So in grand design, with wisdom planned the universe in time C A G
To set the stage for God to satisfy His heart. Am C D G

2 From dust of earth the man He made
In His image and His likeness;
The breath of life to man He gave
Among creation he was matchless.
As God beheld the man, the same desire reflected!
The echo of His heart, the words He said:
"It is not good for man to be alone;
I will make for him a counterpart!"
Yet the animals and birds of heav'n, as Adam named each one,
There was not found a helper as his counterpart.

3 So God prepared for him a bride,
A slumber made to fall upon him,
And took a rib out from his side
And built the woman who would match him
As she was brought to man, the joy in God resounded!
He longed to say the words that Adam said,
"Bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh;
She will be for me a counterpart!"
Because out of man she was taken, united to be one,
The same as he in life to satisfy his heart.

4 Then God became a man in flesh,
The real Adam incarnated.
As Jesus lived, He found no rest
Until the cross's work completed.
The one grain fell and died to rise in resurrection,
Released His life, produced the many grains.
"Husbands love your wives, even as Christ
Loved the church and gave Himself for her."
Because out of Christ, water flowed out, imparted into us
To thus produce the church, which satisfies His heart.

5 And at the closing of this age,
When His bride has been perfected,
The romance from eternal days
Has its story consummated.
The Lord will come again, the church to Him presented;
And then at last, the words that He might say:
"Bone of My bones… flesh of My flesh…
The church at last shall be My counterpart!"
Because out of Christ, she was taken, united to be one,
The same as He in life to satisfy His heart!

If God leads you to walk
A way that you know,
It will not benefit you as much as
If He would lead you to take the way
That you do not know.
This forces you to have
Hundreds and thousands of
Conversations with Him,
Resulting in a journey that is an
Everlasting memorial
Between you and Him.

On this path that I tread,
I can't make it on my own.
But I'm glad I have you,
My companion to lean on.
When I fall, you are there,
Guiding me and giving care.
You're a blessing, indeed, beyond compare.

Chorus:
I thank the Lord I have someone
With whom I can pursue,
One who cares to understand 
What my life is going through.
What a privilege, with companions I can pray;
And together we will serve God all our days. 

Look ahead to the prize
With endurance run the race;
Hand in hand, to the end
We can make it by God's grace.
I just love spending time
With you, friend, to fellowship.
I do treasure our true companionship.

Preach the word, testify;
With our friends the gospel share.
Don't be scared, speak the truth,
And together we declare.
Later on, we will see,
One by one they will be saved.
God is with us; He's one with us.  Be brave!

My Heart Overflows

Chords and sheets: https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/ns/858

1
Everything seems to be a downward spiral
But I’m on an upward path;
Currents flow against me, still I keep on going.
Wond’ring if I’ll ever last,
“Do not fear”—I hear the voice of my Christ Jesus:
“Just have faith, for I am the Lord.
All will pass, but what you have in you’s eternal.”
So I simply trust His word.

Chorus:
I am not ashamed to be a Christian!
I am not ashamed to love the Lord!
I am not afraid to stand up for Him no matter what I’m told!
The world can’t understand,
But nonetheless I’ll stand;
Fire will only manifest the gold.

2
Though I feel like I’m the only one that’s different
In these cruel, crooked times,
I will be the salt that kills the world’s corruption
And the light that brightly shines.
Lord, it seems like I’m the only one who’s standing;
Could it be, I’m left on my own?
“Worry not for I have set apart a remnant
Who, like you, seek Me alone.”
 
Chorus:
We are not ashamed to be Christians!
We are not ashamed to love the Lord!
We are not afraid to stand up for Him no matter what we’re told;
The world can’t see it now,
But time will tell, somehow
Fire will only manifest the gold!

Not Ashamed to be a Christian - TS, GJ, EL, AT, NG

You're beautiful as Tirzah,
You're lovely as Jerusalem.
The daughters called her blessed;
The queens they also praised her.
 
Who is this lovely woman?
She looks forth like the dawn.
She's beautiful as the moon;
She's clear as the sun.
 
Clear as the sun,
Beautiful as the moon,
Going forth like the dawn,
Is My lovely one.
 
Clear as the sun,
Beautiful as the moon,
Going forth like the dawn
Is My lovely one.
 
She's terrible as an army,
As an army with banners.
Who is she this woman?
She is the choicest one.
 
Return, return, oh Shulammite;
That we may gaze at you.
Why gaze at the Shulammite,
As the dance of two camps?

Oh Shulammite,
Let me gaze at you
Oh Shulammite,
Beautiful and bright
 
Clear as the sun,
Beautiful as the moon,
Going forth like the dawn
Is My lovely one.

You're beautiful as Tirzah (cover) | with CB

D
When I called on You, Lord
A
It seems nothing has changed
G                              A                             D
But deep within a great transfer was made
                G               A
From myself to my spirit-
          D        Bm
from old to new
                 G               D                     A
Thus the whole day I'm turned to You.

                      D          G
A thousand times a day
                     A           D
A thousand times I'll pray
           G             
From morning to evening 
       A
I won't stop from calling
        G                                     A
One call on Your name You transform my being
     G                                  A                          D
By then I found out that I will never ever be the same!


A Thousand Times A Day

It's been a while! I'll be posting a few more recordings made before and during the quarantine soon!

Composed by J.L.

Key: F# Major (Capo 4 - D)
                  D                            A
1. Whence cometh all this affliction?   
             G                           A
Should envy and hatred reign?    
          D                                     A
What happened to love of brethren?   
    G                                   A
Instead what prevails is pain.   
           G                                              A
When strife and contention would shake my faith, 
D                   A                Bm
I turn to His words, His promise made
        Em   G        A
And thus I'm reminded: 

(Chorus)
                              D                                 A
I have a heav'nly dream of sheaves of wheat,
                              G                   A
Of men so full of life for all to feed;
                   Bm
I dream of sun, moon, and stars
             F#m
Shining bright in the dark. 
                  G
So when I see you and me,
                   A                                 D
I know our destiny as stars and sheaves.

2. We longed for a home together,
In blessed commune with God. 
Yet now while enslaved and fallen,
All striving just ends in nought.
Imprisoned so long, no end in sight;
That final abode my sole delight.
Someday, we shall see it!

3. Oh dreamer of God, don't falter
Though challenges life may bring,
Though none may believe that vision
That one day we'll reign as kings.
Have faith in His plan though far it may seem.
O never lose heart! Still speak God's dream!
Believe! Be encouraged! 

(Chorus 2)
For we have a heav'nly dream of sheaves of wheat,
Of men so full of life for all to feed;
We dream of sun, moon, and stars
Shining bright in the dark. 
So when I see you and me,
I know our destiny as stars and sheaves.

... I dream of stars and sheaves.
