And He has said to me,
My grace is sufficient for you, 
For My power is perfected in weakness, in weakness.
Most gladly, therefore, I would rather boast in my weaknesses
That the power of Christ, the power of Christ
Might tabernacle over me.
2 Cor 12:9

and he has said to me (2 Cor. 12:9)

1
Lord, it seems
That I fail and fail again.
I see Your face, 
But then the veils return again.
Emotion’s stirred, but there’s no change in me.
I’m living in my soul; I have to learn
A little more, each day, O Lord, to turn.

2
Lord, I know
That I’ve truly seen You, but
The vision fades;
I look away to other things.
Remind me, Lord, reveal Yourself to me,
That from my idols I would be set free.
A little more, each day, I want to see.

3
Lord, my mind
Is occupied with many things--
This thorny age,
With all of its anxieties.
My faith is weak; I’m caught up in my cares.
I need to learn to tell it all to You!
A little more, each day, my mind renew.

4
Lord, my will
Is resistant to Your touch.
Disarm me, Lord;
Don’t let me win against Your grace.
I turn my eyes and see Your patient love--
What can I do but stop and come to You?
A little more, each day, my will subdue.

5
Lord, I pray,
Make me desperate for You.
Keep drawing me
And training me to hear Your voice.
Lord, even though my progress is so slow,
You’re by my side; You will not let me go.
A little more, each day, I’d love You so.
A little more, each day, and I will grow.

a little more, each day

This is a recording of us singing "My Goal Is God Himself" at our Fairfax Monday Night Home Meeting.

1. My goal is God Himself, not joy, nor peace,
Nor even blessing, but Himself, my God;
’Tis His to lead me there—not mine, but His—
At any cost, dear Lord, by any road.

2. So faith bounds forward to its goal in God,
And love can trust her Lord to lead her there;
Upheld by Him, my soul is following hard
Till God hath full fulfilled my deepest prayer.

3. No matter if the way be sometimes dark,
No matter though the cost be oft-times great,
He knoweth how I best shall reach the mark,
The way that leads to Him must needs be strait.

4. One thing I know, I cannot say Him nay;
One thing I do, I press towards my Lord;
My God my glory here, from day to day,
And in the glory there my great Reward.

1
Worldly affairs encumbered me; till the Lord said, “Come, follow Me!”
I was exhausted, faltering; still He called and would not leave me be;
At once, when I responded: “Yes!”, He shined His glad’ning ray!
Glory, rest, shouts of praise fill all my days as I follow on His way.

2
Though in this world a way exists
Filled with crowds with greatness obsessed;
My heart already is possessed, let those who would take it try their best;
Lord, I’ve been sanctified by Thee, For God alone I’m meant,
My all is in Your sovereign hand, all for the new way to be spent.

3
No man can serve two masters, from God and the world seek reward,
Whether ’tis spent or whether reserved, ointment can but once be outpoured;
Lord, You’re my only one true love, I’d ne’er repent nor swerve.
Lord, You alone are worthy of all my life and all my love.

chorus
Upon this altar of consecration, supply the flame; refine me, I pray;
Lord, You chose me, ’twas mercy and grace; Gladly I choose Thee, to repay.
The days of this life don’t seem that special, but the earth to heaven they join;
In Your smile’s delight, I fix my sight, running towards th’ eternal crown.

Timeless Memory
Some memories never grow old. This piece was born from a childhood moment by the piano with my father — a memory that remains timeless, carried beyond the years.
