The Time of Singing Has Come

Time of Love

Book: God's Need and God's Goal
Chapter: Failures Enabling Man to Enjoy more of God

Blessed are those of fail
Blessed are those who fall
This is God's sovereign way
That He would become our all
Through failure we can know God
Experience and enjoy him

Thank You Lord that You
Allow me to fail
I was dead but now I live
Praise You for not always letting me prevail
Though my heart be broken, 
My spirit be broken,
Make these failures precious and sweet to me

As the younger son
I was lost but found again
As the Father, You
Waited for me to return
Together we’re rejoicing
Your riches and love now reach me

Blessed are Those Who Fail

1. Who can ever know the feeling deep down in my heart?
Who can really understand my weakness to sustain?
When I have lost hope to carry on by myself,
Your person stands by me to be my hope and life.

Chorus: 
Your love so deep moving and sweet
How can I still stubborn be;
No more I struggle and strive,
Trust in Your faith and rest in Your breast.

2. When I feel the touch of Your hand upon my life,
I sense the flow of life flowing rich and free;
When You wipe away every tear in my eyes,
Sorrow has depart'd, behold a smiling face!

Who Can Ever Know the Feeling

Each One Has (1 Cor 14:26)

Chords: https://songbase.life/6

Hear the Lord, He’s calling onward;
Heed His Word, His cry is upward.
Each day we climb a little higher;
To carry on we need to take a deeper breath.

See the Lord is not far from you;
He will not only bear it with you.
No need to struggle any longer;
He wants to be the very one to take your place.

All we need is in the breath—
Love and light, peace and rest.
Count the cost, pay the price,
Receive the gift of eternal life.
Call, “Oh Lord!” Let Him in and just love Him.

The ordinary’s what He’s after;
However small to Him, it matters.
To be your all He’s more than willing;
Only requires us to lean on the Beloved.

Day by day we grow into Christ,
Permeated at the speed of life.
Get more God, be more human;
Let His light shine from within.
More of Him, we decrease—
This our blessed destiny,
To reign in life as His Bride; we just love Him.

Just Love Him

Turn away, give thanks, yes! Give thanks!
Never obey what feelings say
And as we turn, we'll be released,
For thanking God has set us free!

What will turn our sorrows to joy

Written by D.S. 

Consecration is not just a knowing of the right of ownership in the mind or a feeling of love in our affections, nor is it only an attitude and expression of ours toward God. Actually speaking, consecration itself is a part of life, a major part of life. The experience of consecration, therefore, is really the experience of life. The fullness of one's experience of life depends on the fullness of one's experience of consecration. Hence, if one pursues the experience of consecration, it will enable him to grow in life - W.L. The Experience of Life

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!
