I. 
For God’s building and spreading;
Seek His direction and leading,
Vic’try in us will display,
If God’s presence is in our way.
Right and wrong must be dethroned;
His presence is the criterion;
This must be the requirement,
For us to posses our portion.

Cho.
Lord, Your smile is all that we need;
Nothing but Your smiling presence-
Satisfies and meet Your need;
Your smile can build up Your Body,
Your smile can spread Your kingdom—
Th’ way to fulfill God’s econ’my.

II.
Be like Rahab’s of today;
Who turned to God and joined His way,
Forget about your background,
B’lieve and inherit the good land.
Be warned—the defeat at Ai!
In small things, we need to inquire;
We dare not do, dare not think,
Trust Him! And not be complacent.

III.
Hip’crisy, hinders God’s work;
Remove the mask! God’s glory must be—
The center of His economy;
Serve the Body ‘n reality.
Way to part’cipate the land;
Is to never leave our Husband,
In small things and in big things,
Ask, consult-must be the first thing!

IV.
Defeats will come in our way;
If His dear presence will not stay,
Learn to be kept, to be ruled,
For us not to be led astray.
May the fear of losing Him;
Is the fear that we need to care,
Regardless of what we do,
His presence must always be there.



Lord, Your smile is all that we need (FT orig)

(Written by Jacob Freeman)

Beside Bethesda, here I lay. 
Upon my mat, a man in sin. 
I cannot move; I watch the pool
And hope to walk again. 
Here, waiting for a miracle, 
For thirty-eight long years I’ve stayed. 
Beside this sometimes-stirring pool,
Lame, impotent, I’ve laid. 

You knew my state. In mercy great,
You came to seek me where I lay. 
A plain and lowly man You were
With such a gentle way. 
“Man, do you wish to be made well?”
You asked me, as I turned around. 
Oh, how I’ve longed to hear those words! 
“I do! No help I’ve found. 

I cannot move although I‘ve tried—
To no avail. And though I’ve seen
The water stir and stir again,
I’ve never active been.”
“Arise, take up your mat and walk”
You speak with such authority!
But even more my legs felt strong:
Your word enlivened me. 

No law and no activity; 
No miracle descending down,
No effort I have made has helped. 
I must be mercy shown. 
Oh, Lord! Your kindness, mercy great,
And richest grace You’ve giv’n to me,
Redeeming me and healing me
By hanging on a tree. 

You made me walk! So now my Lord,
I rise to follow after You. 
I run toward You, my Goal, my Prize—
Your gift of grace in view. 
Now, in Your house, I have a place,
And at Your table I enjoy 
Your All-Inclusive richness, Lord
And rest in Your employ.

Beside Bethesda (Lyrics by Jacob)

Constitution 2

Now From My Heart Comes (Sing Along)

Did you know that I’m a God-man?
A three-part man mingled with the Triune God,
And I have a spirit
Where the enemy has no way, no hope, no ground...
I am a God-man!
[I am a God-man] (spoken)

1. The Lord lives inside of Me,
And He’s using my spirit as a beachhead
To spread Himself into every part
Of my mind, emotion, and will.
He sowed Himself as the seed
Into my innermost part—
And the kingdom is here,
Today, now, inside of me
And my heart is now His home!

2. Every time I say “Amen” to His Spirit
And walk by my spirit,
The kingdom seed grows and develops
Deep inside of me.
On the outside, it may seem that there’s
No change in me—
But I’m not the same,
’Cause as the seed grows in me,
Inside I’m becoming God!

I’m A God Man

Lamb of God—our dear Redeeming One is Christ!
For our sins He paid the highest price
To redeem and to recover us
Who were lost and fallen far from God.
As the Lamb, He had no blemish;
He was meek, even submissive.
How can we like Him obedient be
Unto death, that even of the cross?
 
I want to follow Him,
Rest from all my wandering,
End all my endeavoring;
Even though I know not where or
How—I know He cares!
I know He’ll never err;
I know He’ll lead me well.
I know His voice; this now my choice—
Follow where the Lamb would lead.

When He came, though many followed in the way,
Few remained who knew Him and His ways.
Lamb of God—He took  the narrow gate;
The constricted way to life He traced;
Sacrificed, though men denied Him;
Gave His life, though men forsook Him.
How can we t’ward Him still hardened be
When to us He gave all selflessly?

I want to follow Him,
Rest from all my wandering,
End all my endeavoring;
Even though I know not where or
How—I know He cares!
I know He’ll never err;
I know He’ll lead me well.
I know His voice; this now my choice—
Follow where the Lamb would lead.

Lord we pray, preserve us faithful in the way
All our days, never to fall away.
By Your grace, keep us pursuing You,
Taking up the cross to follow You.
Consecrate we unreservedly,
Absolute for You entirely.
In our hearts, Lord, let the highways be
Unto Zion single-heartedly.
 
Now we will follow Him!
To His call we’re answering,
All we are we’re offering.
New Jerusalem we see
Come down from heav’n to earth!
God and man mingled now,
Our oneness we avow
Eternally, O gloriously!
This is where the Lamb would lead!

I Want to Follow Him (Lamb of God)

https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/ns/761

In these times of restlessness,
In these times of uncertainty,
When all we trusted has become
But sand and we sink helplessly,
Reaching out, a Rock we hold.
He is still and unshakable.
Eternally and silently,
He waited for us with love untold.

How we think we have control
When all things go predictably,
But when waves crash, when storm winds blast,
We see our human frailty.
Then He’s always there to say,
“It is I, do not be afraid.”
It’s up to us to take Him in
Our boats, our lives, for Him ere to stay.
 	
So that’s why we call, “O Lord Jesus!”
Desper’tely for peace inside
And peace He gives,
A peace beyond understanding.
And still then we call, “O Lord Jesus!”
Just to find the peace supplied
Is Christ Himself resting in our being.

In These Times of Restlessness
