Splendid Church Life

God Has Called Us For His Purpose

1.
A standing sheaf,
A shining star.
My dream reveals
Who God's people are.
We're full of light,
And life divine,
We live in Christ,
In us He shines.

A "master of dreams,"
I choose to live in what I've seen.
For Christ in me beams,
A shining star, a living sheaf.

2.
Though many fail,
And fall to sin.
It doesn't change—
God’s chosen them.
We’re not a judge,
But shepherds true.
We overcome
So they can too.

3.
The world is but
A glance away.
It speaks to me
To sin each day.
But I will flee,
With others too.
We reign as kings,
The lust subdue.

Yes, I’ve seen the dream!
I live in Christ and He in me!
His word I believe!
The vision’s real and reigns in me.

4.
We won't be swayed
To love the world.
Though ev'n betrayed,
We'll gain the Lord.
Restricted now,
In grace He'll train,
The coming age
With Him to reign.

Days grew dark Oh God

Destruction had assailed on me

My refuges’ in Your love

God is my retreat
I’m the pupil of His eye
My crag, my rock, my shield
My strength is God in Him I lie
The shadow of His wings
Is now the place I hide
His presence here, my comfort here
All by one simple word

God I know one thing
You’re the song within my heart
You are a boundless stream
You flow in me to my delight
Oh just fill me now
Satisfactions’ in Your life
I want to stay, here with You
Salvations in Your name


I will call on You (original)

That dream - the God of glory called us
Our life’s direction changed its course
We yielded our whole life upon Him
Ackowledged Him as only source 

Chorus:
Brighter as the days go by with You
Our lives we consecrate to You
We belong with no one else while here on earth
As we’re wander’ng still, sojournings fierce
Lord, supply us with Your grace to live our dream

That dream - to build an altar for Him
Surrender all that we have had
We’d open our lives for His working
We’re through when He becomes our God

That dream - We're here to lead a tent life
All earthly ventures lose its worth
We’re pilgrims set for just one purpose
To gain His riches manifold

That dream - His kingdom age is coming
Our fate - His dwelling place to be
All things mundane we'd leave behind us
On earth we'd never settled be!

Grace to Live our Dream

E                  B7
1. Let us keep this thought in view
C#m              F#m
Abraham is an ancient you;
A                 E
His experience is a type
F#                B7
Of our present Christian life
E                 B7
God of glory did appear
C#m                  G#m
To him His calling was made firm
A                           E          F#m
‘Till he reached the high point on God’s house
                 B7
He must have stayed.

2. Yet how easy ‘tis to fall
When some trials would befall;
Test of famine would expose:
We just care for our own cause
Sovereign God is still preserving
Though we may forget to trust Him
With God’s secret keeping grace
Get back to the race

3. Tis for His purpose not our success
That we’re still blessed by His grace
For our learning not an excuse
Ne’er a reason to abuse
God is faithful though we are not.
People change, things come to test us
Yet God’s secret keeping grace
Holds us all our days

4. When we think henceforth we have gained
One life’s lesson we have learned
Still another test is required
To ensure what we’ve acquired
Many times the second testing
Comes from wealth and many blessing
For our own we never strive
With God we’re satisfied.

5. God of glory, our sovereign Lord,
Who called us for Your purpose
All our lives we depend on You
Do appear to us anew;
Who alone can save from falling
On this high point keep us going,
A                   E
‘til we reach the highest calling
F#m        B7    E
The New Jerusalem!

God's Secret Keeping Grace

1 Abraham was called by God 
to go out to a place,
A land where milk and honey flows,
a good and spacious land.
Not knowing where he needs to go,
he just went out by faith
He took God as his living map
and followed all the way.

Chorus 1:
The glory of God 
became a great attraction to him
Each time it appeared
more of God was infused into him
He believed in God's calling
He believed in God's promises
God's word has become
his motive and strength
To go on with God

2 God appeared to Stephen too,
it strengthened him within
He saw the heavens opened up,
behold the Son of Man
Was standing there
at God's right hand
And was greatly concerned
He cares for the persecuted ones
who live by faith to Him.

Chorus 2:
The glory of God
became a great attraction to us
Each time it appears
more of God is infused into us
We believe in God's calling
We believe in God's promises
God's word has become
our motive and strength
To go on with God.

Bridge:
O Lord, do appear to us, (appear to us)
We pray, again and again (again and again)
We need You Lord, to shine upon us
To strengthen us, motivate us
And fill us with Yourself
And may Your glory shine out from us.

Chorus 2:
The glory of God
became a great attraction to us
Each time it appears
more of God is infused into us
We believe in God's calling
We believe in God's promises
God's word has become
our motive and strength
To go on with God.

The Glory of God—A Great Attraction to Us

Capo 1

C Am
1. *I was a stranger in a *barren land,
F
Not knowing the *God of glory planned
G C
To call me out *from the world into this journey. *
Am
By faith He led me to the *promised land
F
Where living water *freshens me
Gsus - Gsus7
And satisfaction’s *in the living *tree…

Chorus 1:
C G
In the church*—here to stay!*
Am
Countless times* I’ve failed but
F
You show* me the way back.
C G
I'm not* of this world!*
Am
You’ve appeared* to me Lord,
F
There's no* turning back.
C - F
I've *seen my destiny*
Em - Am
Is *an eternal city*
Dm Gsus C
Whose *Architect and Buil*der is my God*

2. Though God has brought me to this chosen land,
At times I don't really understand
The sufferings I go through, “Lord is all this for me?”
I am a man under Your sovereign hand.
Your mercy shines and now I see,
Your tenderheartedness to deal with me…

Chorus 2:
In the church, have Your way.
Strip me off of the earthly joys that replace You.
I’m not for this world.
Though the old man decays,
I’m daily renewed
My life on earth must be
To seek a better country
Whose Architect and Builder is my God

3. As I sojourn this temporary land,
Lord strengthen me, so trials I’d withstand,
Not losing sight of the eternity before me.
My future is brighter than what's at hand.
These sorrows, they will fade and flee
As glory fills me for eternity.

Chorus 3:
We’re the church in this age,
Getting ready to meet our Bridegroom that day!
We are not for this world!
We’re preparing for the new heav’n and new earth.
To be His masterpiece,
His bride eternally—
Our destiny’s the New Jerusalem.

Not For This World

We're the River Crossers

You said you weren’t hungry

I have an ongoing collaboration since 2018 with my friend Michael who lives in both Poland and LA. In the summer of 2025, Michael had a series of sessions with professional musician Avi on both guitar and vocals. I did production work and added bass. Beautiful stuff. This is a version of Neil Young's "Don't Let It Bring You Down".

Don't Let It Bring You Down (MKAvi) 9-10-25

Pawang Papuri ang namumutawi

According to John 4:14

But whoever drinks of the water
That I will give him
Shall by no means thirst forever;
But the water that I will give him
Will become in him
A fountain of water
Springing up into eternal life;
Will become in him
A fountain of water
Springing up into eternal life,
Eternal life.

But Whoever Drinks

Chosen, called, responding to You, 
Meeting You has given my life value. 
Though I’m young, I haste to pursue You, To be a vessel Your riches shine through.
Consecrating, I hesitate: Can I that blest goal of glory attain?
In Your light I suddenly see: Not my might, but Your unrivaled mercy!

Fresh consecration! Wholly for Thee, I’ll closely follow, time redeem!
Live Your transcendent life, Lord, through me, That the treasure within be seen!

Treasure hid in vessels of earth Manifests Your power and transcendence;
In Your face’s light e’er abiding, If nearer Thee, naught more would I desire.
Pressure, persecutions, and wounds Just bring resurrection life into bloom;
Though we suffer light transient pain, The eternal weight of glory’s gained!

God of glory shines, drawing us; Goodbye world, our lives are for God’s purpose!
Precious vessels ready for using, No matter where, as long as it’s with Thee.
We are washed and cleansed by Your word, Unencumbered, holy, transparent, pure;
Mold us, Lord, conform us to Thee; At Your call, we’d rise up instantly!

New Jerusalem is our dream; For her building, steadfast we’re pursuing;
Love outpoured, sweet ointment o’erflowing, Fight boldly for the interests of our God.
Vital, spread the God-ordained way Till as one the new revival we gain;
Oh my Lord, my love, quickly come, As You promised, in our generation!

Treasure in Earthen Vessels (Chosen, Called, Responding to You)

Key: F (Capo 3 - D)
Lyrics:
D E
1 Behold, the fig tree puts forth its leaves
G A-A7
And we know the summer is near
D E
Its branches tender, when you see these,
G A D
Then the Kingdom has drawn near!
G A D
Be watchful and be ready!
A A7
The day is almost here!

(Chorus)
D A
Loving His appearing,
A# Bm
Earnestly waiting
F#m G
And calling for His return,
D
We are those who give heed
Em A
To the prophetic word
D
Until the day dawns.
F# Bm
'Though we know not the day or hour
F#m G
But on You we set our heart.
D
We are watching;
Em A
Make us ready, Lord,
A7 D
For your second coming!'

2 Take heed to yourselves, be not weighed down
By anxieties of life
Besaeech that you escape these things
And be raptured to His side
Be watchful and be ready!
Escape the hour of trial!

3 Be prudent virgins with your own soul
And with oil your vessels fill.
"Behold, the bridegroom!" -- when midnight comes,
Will your lamps be shining still?
Be watchful and be ready!
Go forth to meet with Him!

4 Be faithful slaves set o'er His house
Give them food in proper time
When Jesus comes, what will He find?
Were your gifts well exercised?
Be watchful and be ready!
Obatain the master's prize!
