The first three songs in this medley were on a children’s CD I grew up listening to by Rob Allison.

1
After israel had wandered in the wilderness 
For a period of forty years,
It was time for the younger generation 
To fight for the promised land.

Now the Lord had already chosen Joshua 
‘Cause he took the lead to choose God.
As he stood on the border of the good land,
God gave him this command.

Be strong and of good courage
Do not be afraid, neither be dismayed
For Jehovah your God is with you
Wherever you go.

2
Awake, awake, Deborah!
Awake, awake, break out in song!
Arise, Barak, and lead your captivity captive.

Let your enemies perish, Oh Jehovah,
But let them that love Him be as the sun!

Awake, awake, oh generation!
Come out, come out from all the nations
Arise, Christians, and give
Yourselves to Christ and the church

3
Gideon’s army was like a barley loaf
Gideon’s army was like a barley loaf
And they rolled down the hill into the enemy
And so the Lord did win a mighty victory

Gideon said put a pitcher o’er your torch
Gideon said put a trumpet in your hand
And when I give the word you’ll blow your trumpets loud
And break your pitchers so your light shines all around

The enemy soldiers cried out and they fled
Because the shouts of praise and life came overhead.
So with Gideon we see the Lord’s special way to fight.
It’s not with sticks and stones but with your praise and light.

4
Wherever you go, I will go,
Wherever you dwell, I will dwell;
Your people will be my people 
And your God will be my God.
(2x)

Wherever you die, I will die;
And there will I be buried.
Jehovah do to me, and more as well,
If anything but death parts me from you.
(Repeat last 2 lines)

The Day Approaches

Jesus Lord I'm Captured By Thy Beauty

Jesus Lord, I'm Captured By Thy Beauty

My Solomon
You’re so affectionate
Draw me to Yourself
With the kisses of – Your mouth.

Dearest King
The virgins all love you
But I’ve been brought forth
To enter in Your chambers now.

Fairest one
I’m black in my own eyes
But comely in Your sight
Why, I’ll never understand.
You’re a cluster of henna flowers to me
Blooming in the vineyards of Engedi.

My Shulammite
This is the Song of Songs
Which belongs to Me
I share it all with you – So come away now!

Country girl
Fairest of the fair
My intimate friend
You know what’s in my heart.

Little mare
We’ve worked in you crown
Lovely golden braids
Filled with studs of silver.
You’re a flower among thorns to Me
Among the daughters you are My lily.

(Bridge)
So as the winter trials start,
And when idleness frosts my heart
My beloved says to me,
Come away
I’ll come away.

My belov’d
Hold me in your arms
Lie between my breasts
You’re beautiful my love.

O My dove
You’re beautiful to Me!
Oh, you are beautiful!
Beautiful, indeed.

Mingled now
Indeed our bed is green
We’ve found our place of rest
Our mutual abode.

Here I always will give you my love
O come quickly, make haste my belov’d.

oh dear Lord, have Your way

Lyrics+Chords (updated)

      C                     F        G  C              
1. Through many conversations
                                F              G
Opening up to the Lord in all things
              Dm                 C
Whether big things or small
           G                          Am
He is touched with them all
            F              Dm      G
To dispense His supply therein. 
 
2.  Yet we await His speaking 
Giving Him the first place in all things 
As He moves in our heart,
All His burden imparts,
We become letters sealed with Him. 


Chorus:
                        F        G          C -Am 
Then we flow out--  just who we are
                      F           G              C   -Am
As who we are is increasingly Christ.
                  F         G               C             Am  -F
When we contact God in our mingled spirit 
                       G             C
We know His heart and mind.


3. The sense of life directs us
In His gentle anointing each day
As His life operates,
In the choices we make
We depend ever more on Him. 
 
4.  His written Word is living 
When we catch, with the Spirit, the flame
As we pray with His Word
Divine language is heard
And as rhema He motivates.

Through Many Conversations (with Zach Miner)

Until We All Arrive

I Heard the Voice of the Lord

1.
Lord Jesus, I long in Thy presence to live,
From morning to evening my one world Thou art;
O let not my heart be contented or rest
When loving or seeking what with Thee doth part.
Each moment, each day, throughout suff’ring and pain,
When nought in the world can give comfort or cheer,
When sighing and weeping encompasses me,
Lord, still all my sighing and wipe every tear.

2.
Each time when I dream of the goodness of life,
I pray Thee, dear Lord, that Thou in it may be;
O do not allow me to choose by myself,
Nor seek any pleasure that’s other than Thee.
Each night when alone in the stillness I lie,
I pray Thee, Lord Jesus, that Thou wilt be near;
Each morning ere dawn comes, while still in my sleep,
Then whispering call me and open my ear.

3.
Each time, Lord, when reading in Thy holy Word,
I pray that Thy glory may shine on each line,
That clearly I’ll see what a Savior I have
And how great salvation that Thou hast made mine.
When helpless I come, Lord, to kneel at Thy throne,
I pray Thee to hear me and grant me Thy grace;
If thru my shortcomings Thou hear not my prayer,
Withdraw not Thy presence, O hide not Thy face.

4.
Each time when of heavenly blessings I think,
O let my heart long to be raptured to Thee;
My only hope here is Thy coming again,
My only joy there, Lord, Thy presence will be.
Lord, teach me each day in Thy presence to live,
From morning to evening my one world Thou art;
O let not my heart be contented or rest
When loving or seeking what with Thee doth part.

Lord Jesus, I Long In Thy Presence To Live (Hymn 389)

(Written by Jacob Freeman)

Oh Lord, Your Name is Sweet! And from it flows
A river full of peace and light and life,
As on it, I cast all my anxious woes. 
I need not think! I only need to call.
In this way, I am less, and You are all. 

It is so rich to call and to receive—
To soak Your Spirit into all my being. 
As I absorb Your riches, I believe
And You are real to me. Oh, but to know
You, dearest Lord, and have a deeper flow!

You are a treasury of endless wealth,
So readily accessible to me!
How great! These riches constitute my health,
My great supply, my strength, my life, my all—
So effortless! I only need to call.

Continually soften all my heart
To cling to You and to receive Your Word.
Lord, make Your home in every inward part,
And, as I call, make deeper every root
That I might grow and bear You richest fruit.

And Peter (Slower Version)
