1. How can I ever stay away
And grieve Thy Spirit all the day
While Thou dost wait for me?
I now am willing to return,
And wait no longer, for I yearn
Henceforth to follow Thee.

2. I offer now without reserve
All that I am and all I have
Thy purpose to fulfill.
Oh, may the Lord accept and keep,
That henceforth I may only seek
To do the Father’s will.

3. When I look back, what grief and shame
That I’ve brought none to trust Thy name,
Thy word I’ve locked within.
Oh, may the Lord anointing give
And richly through my being live,
That I may speak of Him.

4. My gracious Lord has giv’n much grace,
Exceeding e’en a friend my place;
I fain would be His bride.
I’d share His life and suffer loss,
Accepting willingly the cross,
With Him identified.

How Can I Ever Stay Away (w/ Peter)

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.

Days grew dark Oh God
            		Em
Cords of Sheol surrounded me

The snares of death came forth

Destruction had assailed on me
          Am
And in my deep distress

I called upon His name
       Dm		        G-G7	
He heard my voice, descended down
	            C
And saved me by His hand

I will call on You

For You will answer me

God hears me, speak to Thee

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)

Little by little, day by day, here a little there a little, morning by morning, from strength to strength, grace upon grace, and from glory to glory, it is a blessing to be satisfied with ordinary days in the divine dispensing!

1 Little by little,
   The Lord is cutting off all our natural life;
   As we grow in Him,
   He replaces us with more of His life divine.

     (Chorus)
     It is our destiny,
     To live a normal life in the divine dispensing,
     It is a blessing,
     To be satisfied with ordinary days in the divine dispensing.

2 Day by day,
   Our inward parts are being renewed by the Lord;
   Every day,
   Fresh and rich supply to us He does afford.

3 Here a little,
   And there a little, Christ reveals Himself to us;
   When we read His word,
   We are satisfied and we enjoy Him thus.

4 Morning by morning,
   Jehovah He is faithful to awaken us;
   He instructs our ears,
   With just a word, the weary to sustain we must.

5 From strength to strength,
   We're on the highways to enter into our God;
   Though Satan opposes,
   We are strengthened to lay hold of more of God.

6 Grace upon grace,
   The Triune God is processed for us to enjoy;
   The law is over,
   Now we can partake of His supply through grace.

7 From glory to glory,
   We are in the process of being transformed;
   Beholding, reflecting,
   To God's image with all saints we'll be conformed.

Ordinary Days

Lord You Are the Living Spring

For the weapons of our warfare are not fleshly but powerful before God for the overthrowing of strongholds,/ As we overthrow reasonings and every high thing rising up against the knowledge of God, and take captive every though unto the obedience of Christ. (2 Cor 10:4-5)

1. Our Lord’s deep longing, is to gain a home, 
a place to lay His head
A mutual dwelling, God and man
In which we both find rest 
Lord, give to us this same longing
A vision that's so controlling
To govern our daily living
And thus satisfy Your heart

Chorus:
Lord every day keep all our hearts
Open, soft and yearning for You
Draw us more and more each day
Eating, drinking, enjoying You
O Lord, we pray, don't pass us by
All self-interest we lay aside 
Full cooperation we give
Make us absolute for You 
Lord do gain Your building in us

2. Make us willing to let You build
Coat and occupy every part
As we abide, deepen the roots
O Lord, make home in our hearts
 O May the Lord bless you all richly
Day by day building more in you
Producing you as precious stones
That He may be expressed through you

Our Lord's Deep Longing

For just as the lightning comes forth from the east
and shines to the west
For just as the lightning comes forth from the east
and shines to the west
So will the coming of the Son of Man be
As the lightning comes forth from the east.

Come, Lord Jesus!
Grow in us!
Make us ready for Your coming!
Gain our hearts, our love, gain Your bride!
Make us those who bring You back!

Matthew 24:27 (EYPC 2019)

Watch! Be Ready!

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!
