Hymn #841: Thou art all my life, Lord

Thou, Lord, To God Art Precious

2023 04 JHS - The Spirit

God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all, Song

1.When I behold the wonders of Your hand,
When I behold the grandeur of your work,
When I behold the power of Your word Lord,
I bow with reverence to You.

2.When I behold the details of the earth,
The strokes of care that brush through every hue,
Reminded that I am so very small Lord,
Why do I hold back Lord from You?

3.Why did You make this vast amazing place?
Why do You send us harvests full and sweet?
Why do You render so much love and care Lord?
Oh Lord, what is this man to You?

4.Why did You come to live a life on earth?
Why did You die for me on calvary?
Why do You want to live inside of me Lord?
Why do I hold back Lord from You?

5.For many years I held back Lord from You,
Reserving cherished places in my being,
But now my heart is softened by Your love Lord,
I choose to open up to You.

6.I’m opening not just one little part.
I’m opening my whole heart up to You.
Do all that’s in Your heart concerning me Lord,
I’m not afraid, Lord I have You.

7.Lord gain the worshippers that you desire,
The ones who worship in reality,
Oh work Yourself into my being until Lord,
True worship Lord is gained for Thee.

When I Behold the Wonders of Your Hand

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

What He is: He’s the Father

Sweet Will of God

1. This is My rest forever;
Here will I dwell,
For the Lord hath chosen Zion,
He hath desired it for His habitation.

He will abundantly bless her provision:
He will satisfy her poor with bread.
He will clothe her priests with salvation,
And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.

This Is My Rest Forever

What shall I give unto the Lord
For all, for all, for all He’s done for me?
I’ll take the cup of salvation,
And call, and call, and call upon the name
  of the Lord.

What Shall I Give Unto The Lord (w/ Amber, Natasha, Titus, Michael, Emily, Annie & Taylor)

Lyrics:
Deep within God's heart, a desire made known.
"It is not good for man to be alone
I will make him a helper as his counterpart."
To have a bride was His need and heart.

So God became a lowly man
Lived a life according to the Father's will
Wholly one with His heart and plan
Obedient to the Cross, His plan fulfilled

What life-releasing death!
Producing His Bride, the Church
What life-imparting resurrection!
A beautiful man in life and nature.

Christ loved the church
And gave Himself up for her
A love surpassing comprehend
Such mercy and grace to apprehend
With all of our hearts,
We love You, Lord Jesus.

God is light, and in Him there is no darkness at all, Song
