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.

Now we’re free to choose Him–

No more to be separated, we would never leave!
We don’t want to be defeated!
We’ll pursue Him, not contented,
Not until we gain Him–

But an active seeking of the Lord!
Be bold and take initiative;
Be properly aggressive;
Rise up! It’s time to gain Him;
No more drifting! No more passive!
Let’s be active and pursue Him–(repeat chorus 1)

Made this with Sam in the last few days of training. Those were the days... 


Lyrics:
(Part 1)
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot be touched with the feeling of our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted in all respects like us, yet without sin (yet without sin).

Whom having not seen you love (you love).

But unto you who fear My name (x2).

The love of God, and the grace of Christ, and fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you, be with you all (be with you all, be with you all).

(Part 2)
He gives power to the faint, and to those who have no vigour He multiplies strength.

Thus says Jehovah, heaven is My throne (heaven is My throne).

I’m so happy here with my Father dear.

Some, these days, would tell us that our Jesus is not food, that we only need to know about Him and do good. But we're glad to tell you, brothers, it's just not that way. Jesus is the bread of life, we eat Him every day. 

We are the church, ekklesia.

Remind me, Lord, the reason why I live and breathe. Remind me, Lord, that I'm a vessel for Your purpose.

God is rich in mercy because of His great love. He manifested this by sending His Son. 

The church is the building up of all God’s chosen and redeemed, regenerated, and transformed people.

What things were gains to me, these now I count as loss. Jesus has set me free from what I was.

Now from my heart comes a happy song. It’s just for you, Lord; there’s only one. J-E-S-U-S, I love You (I love You).

I love You, Jesus, deep down in my heart (x2). Talk about deep, deep, down, down, deep down in my heart.

Joy (x10).

(Part 3)
(Key change - D A Bm G)

I know not what awaits me, God kindly veils my eyes.

God hath not promised skies always blue, flower-strewn pathways all our lives through.

Drawn to the Cross which Thou has blest, with healing gifts for souls distrest. To find in Thee my life, my rest, Christ crucified, I come. 

Take time to behold Him, speak oft with thy Lord. Abide in Him always and feed on His Word.

Jesus, living Word.

It’s not a message that I’ve heard, not some points that I have learned, not a song or verse I know by heart.

I am the living bread, which came down out of heaven.

And he said to me, Drink of My river of water of life; drink of what truly satisfies. My supply will not fail you, and My river will carry you through, if you come to Me, your loving King, and drink.

O Jesus, Jesus, dearest Lord, forgive me if I say. 

I am one with Thee, Lord Jesus, one in spirit now with Thee. All Thyself I now possess, Lord; all Thou art now lives in me.

All in all forever, only Christ I'll sing. Everything is in Christ, and Christ is everything.

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!

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!

C              Am           F          G
The Lord is coming as a thief;
C                     Am F            G
We need more oil every day
            F                                      G
With lamps well-trimmed and fires burning
C                Am
To be qualified
F                                 G
To be stolen by the Lord.

Chorus:
                    C                   Am
Every "today" that we have
    F                              G
Is truly the Lord's grace;
                    C                Am
As long as we have today
              F                                    G
And as long as we still have breath,
                     C           Am
We should love the Lord
         F          G
And His appearing,
     C                       Am
Await the Lord's coming,
          F                                     G           C
And always take it as an encouragement.

2
Lord, we choose to be vitalized
And overcome all that replaces Christ
We'll let the world go and drop all things
Waiting with all our heart,
Watching for Your coming.

3
Make us overcomers, as the high peak,
The center, the strengthening, the uplifting,
The enriching, and reality of the church, the
Holy city,
Lord, to bring You back!

Every "today" that we have

w/ J+A, May, Pcho, Joey, Zach, Daniel, & Ugo

In spirit and Truthfulness | John 4:23-24

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.
