1. Lord, by Your mercy, I would take
This opportunity
To let You live Yourself in me;
And let You, Lord, gain me.

CHORUS:
Lord, save me from the past,
And save me from the future;
Yesterday is over,
Tomorrow may not be;
I only have this day;
I only have this moment.

2. And I would hope that You would take
This opportunity
To go as far as possible,
As possible in me.

3. ’Though many barriers hidden be,
You know, Lord, deep within—
Lord, I want nothing else but You,
Lord, I want no one else but You.

4. So only this moment have I,
This opportunity;
This precious time I grant, dear Lord,
Solely unto You.

This Opportunity

1. How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord
Is laid for your faith in His excellent word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

2. Fear not, I am with thee,
O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and
cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.

3. When through the deep waters I call
thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.

4. When through fiery trials thy pathway
shall lie,
My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold
to refine.

5. E’en down to old age all My people
shall prove
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
And then, when grey hairs shall their
temples adorn
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom
be borne.

6. The soul that on Jesus hath leaned
for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to his foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor
to shake,
I’ll never, no, never, no, never forsake!

How Firm A Foundation

Let me love and not be respected;
Let me serve and not be rewarded;
Let me labor and not be remembered;
Let me suffer and not be regarded.

’Tis the pouring, not the drinking;
’Tis the breaking, not the keeping—
A life suff’ring to seek others’ blessing,
A life loving and true comfort giving.
 
Not expecting pity and concern,
Not expecting solace and applause;
Even lonely, even forgotten;
Even wordless, even forsaken.

Tears and blood my price
For the righteous crown shall be;
Losing all, my cost for a faithful pilgrim’s life.
’Twas the life, O Lord, that You chose to live
In those days when on earth You walked,
Gladly suff’ring all injuries and loss
So that all might draw near and repose.

I cannot see how much farther I shall go;
Still I press on, knowing there is no return.
Let me follow Your pattern, so perfect and true,
Bearing ingratitudes without complaint.

In this time of trial, O my Lord, I pray 
That You'd wipe all my hidden tears away;
Let me learn, O Lord, You are my reward;
Let me be others’ blessing all my days.

Let Me Love and Not Be Respected (Watchman Nee)


I'm Your Vessel

You are the Potter, and I am the clay, 
Every experience You have arranged. 
My  life is in Your hands.
Shape me, do all You can. 

Lord, by Your mercy I’m seeking You still. 
Though weak and sinful, I long to be filled.
You gave me a soft heart.
Keep me! Your life impart.


	Chorus:

	I’m Your vessel 
	Unto honor,     
	And made for Your glory.
	You’re my    treasure within.
	I was made to contain You.
	Fill me with riches divine,
	That Your life may be 
	Expressed through mine.
	I’m Your vessel            .
	I’m Your vessel            .


May there be nothing else taking Your place, 
Everything other than You is a waste. 
Cleanse me, empty my heart.
Fill me in every part. 

Lord, make me willing to pay any price
To gain the oil, to be filled up with Christ.
May I redeem the time.
Grant me more life divine.


Lord, may I open and gain You each day
In such a steady and unfailing way.
On Your name I would call,
Loving You above all.

Fill all my vision, remain in my view.
As I’m beholding my life reflects You.
Gazing, being infused,
Others then will see You.

📌He is the Potter, and we are the clay. Everything that the Lord arranged in our environment, our family, situations, even the people. The Lord is shaping us to the desire He wants us to be. He's doing the best that He can, and He knows what is the best for us.

We are not supposed to do something for God. We have to realize that we are vessels unto God. He does not need us to do something for Him. Forget about your doing. We are destined to contain God. We were made to be containers of God. Learn to say "Amen, Lord". ❣️😇

Daniel 9 [original]

Christ Is Everything

1.	Lord, I was blind; I could not see
In Thy marred visage any grace,
But now the beauty of Thy face
In radiant vision dawns on me.

2.	Lord, I was deaf; I could not hear
The thrilling music of Thy voice;
But now I hear Thee and rejoice,
And all Thine uttered words are dear!

3.	Lord, I was dumb; I could not speak
The grace and glory of Thy name;
But now, as touched with living flame,
My lips Thine eager praises wake.

4.	Lord, I was dead; I could not stir
My lifeless soul to come to Thee;
But now, since Thou hast quickened me,
I rise from sin’s dark sepulcher.

5.	For Thou hast made the blind to see,
The deaf to hear, the dumb to speak,
The dead to live; and, lo, I break
The chains of my captivity.
