Childrens songs / Gospel

12 Part 1 : Em D

1 A certain man was going down Em D

From Jerusalem to Jericho, Em D

Getting farther away from God; Em D Em

To this place of curse he’d go.

2 And as he went, among the robbers he fell Who stripped and beat him ‘til he bled, And having taken everything that he owned, They left him lying there half dead.

3 A certain priest was also going down, On that same road to Jericho. He saw him and passed on the opposite side. A Levite did the same also.

Am EmYou know this man who was going down,

Am EmThis man is me; this man is you,

Am Who living in our fallen life

Em away from God Were beaten sore and D Em bled from many wounds.

4 We were stripped of all that we should have:

Our virtue, honour, righteousness. We could not stand upright nor hold onto life; Toward God: no boldness nor access.

5 Religious ones observing our poor estate Being the same could be no help. They passed us by, not daring to come close. We only heard we’d go to hell.

Am Em As sinners under the law condemned,

Am EmWhich left us beaten and disgraced,

Am We all were robbed and dying from so Em many hurts, From small transgressions D Dsu2 to our sins so great.

Interlude: Dsus2-A-Asus2-D7

Part 2 : G Dsu4 D G But a certain Good Samaritan, Dsu4 Despised, of whom they said, D C “Don’t give me Jesus!” G D Bound up all our wounds, Em C Pouring oil and wine upon them, G D Brought us to the inn and said, C G “Take care of him.”

G D

1 He had to take a journey C G To come down just to reach us. Em C Though God, He was so willing D To become a human babe. G D He came through human living, C G Observed our dire condition, Em C Then, moved with deep compassion, G D G D He died and rose to save!

2 He came and bound our wounds up; He healed these damaged persons. He poured in oil and wine — His Spirit and His life divine. He placed us on His donkey To carry us so lowly, And brought us to the church life With blessing for our care.

3 We love this dear Man-Savior, Divine One, fully human Whose tender care, so merciful And bountiful to save Condemned and dying sinners, Reveals the highest standard Of His morality seen in His precious, saving grace. (Chorus twice, then last line: )

C Am“Take care… and whatever you spend D in addition on him D7 G When I return, I will repay you.”

Gospel

13 G C Am D Did you know that I’m a God-man? G C A three-part man mingled Am C with the Triune God G C And I have a spirit G C D Where the enemy has no way, C D no hope, no ground G I am a God-man.

Declaration: I am a God-man! G C D

A/C# Bm G 2 Stained with the sins which I have wrought

D G In word and deed and secret thought; A Bm G For pardon which Thy Blood hath bought, A G D Christ crucified, I come.

3 Weary of selfishness and pride, False pleasures gone, vain hopes denied, Deep in Thy wounds my shame to hide, Christ crucified, I come.

4 Thou knowest all my griefs and fears, Thy grace abused, my misspent years; Yet now to Thee, for cleansing tears, Christ crucified, I come.

Gospel

5 I would not, if I could, conceal The ills which only Thou canst heal; So to the Cross, where sinners kneel, Christ crucified, I come.

6 Wash me, and take away each stain, Let nothing of my sin remain; For cleansing, though it be through pain, Christ crucified, I come.

7 To share with Thee Thy life divine, Thy very likeness to be mine, Since Thou hast made my nature Thine, Christ crucified, I come.

8 To be what Thou wouldst have me be, Accepted, sanctified in Thee, Through what Thy grace shall work in me, Christ crucified, I come.

3 Song of Songs speaks of the King of Majesty Whose purpose, plan, and goal is that He finds a bride, Becoming a country man, pursuing a country girl, Attracted and charmed by Him, becoming the same as He. Now she is fully satisfied, And God is fully satisfied.

Constituting man with His divine life, That we may be made God In life and in nature. To express Him corporately, express Him eternally. Completely satisfying God, Completely satisfying God.

That nothing prevails over her. As we flee to meet with the saints, You’re building Christ into our hearts. Oh this is not an outward activity! A meaningful life, one day all men will see – Oh Lord stir our hearts, to never depart, To give all we are – for Christ and the church.

Am F If I gained the world, but lost the Savior, Am F G Would my gain be worth the lifelong strife? F G Em AmAre all earthly pleasures worth comparing F G C For a moment with a Christ-filled life?

2 Had I wealth and love in fullest measure, And a name revered both far and near, Yet no hope beyond, no harbor waiting, Where my storm-tossed vessel I could steer; If I gained the world, but lost the Savior, Who endured the cross and died for me, Could then all the world afford a refuge, Whither, in my anguish, I might flee?

3 O what emptiness! – without the Savior 'Mid the sins and sorrows here below! And eternity, how dark without Him! Only night and tears and endless woe! What, though I might live without the Savior, When I come to die, how would it be? O to face the valley's gloom without Him! And without Him all eternity!

4 O the joy of having all in Jesus! What a balm the broken heart to heal! Ne'er a sin so great, but He'll forgive it, Nor a sorrow that He does not feel! If I have but Jesus, only Jesus, Nothing else in all the world beside – O then everything is mine in Jesus; For my needs and more He will provide.

first softly to myself. As I called I felt like someone sick brought back to health. The flow of life within me, I’d never felt before.

3 Then as I called on Jesus, I felt that I’d been found!

I was so full; I was calling “Jesus!” right out loud. I’d never dreamed that I could Know reality by…

4 And now I’m full and happy, so satisfied with Him,

Because He has come and filled me Clear up past the brim. His life is now my portion — I’ll go on all my life, just…

C Am F G For a draught from some cool spring, Am F C Am That I hoped would quench the burning C Am G Of the thirst I felt within.

F C Hallelujah! I have found Him Am F G Whom my soul so long has craved! Am F C AmJesus satisfies my longings; C G F C Through His life I now am saved.

2 Feeding on the husks around me,

Till my strength was almost gone, Longed my soul for something better, Only still to hunger on.

3 Poor I was, and sought for riches, Something that would satisfy, But the dust I gathered round me Only mocked my soul’s sad cry.

4 Well of water, ever springing, Bread of life, so rich and free, Untold wealth that never faileth, My Redeemer is to me.

Visions of rapture now burst on my sight; Angels descending, bring from above Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Assurance and Joy of Salvation

2 Freedom from all the carnal affections, Freedom from envy, hatred and strife; Freedom from vain and worldly ambitions. Freedom from all that saddened my life.

3 Freedom from pride and all sinful follies, Freedom from love and glitter of gold; Freedom from evil temper and anger, Glorious freedom, rapture untold.

4 Freedom from fear with all of its torments, Freedom from care with all of its pain; Freedom in Christ my blessed Redeemer, He who has rent my fetters in twain.

D A 1 Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,

G A7 D Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; A7Streams of mercy, never ceasing,

G A7 D Call for songs of loudest praise. G D Jesus sought me when a stranger, Bm A D Wand'ring from the face of God; A He, to save my soul from danger, G A7 D Interposed His precious blood.

2 O to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be! Let that grace, Lord, like a fetter, Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee. Teach me, Lord, some rapturous measure, Meet for me Thy grace to prove, While I sing the countless treasure Of my God's unchanging love.

3 Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it; Prone to leave the God I love: Take my heart, oh, take and seal it With Thy Spirit from above. Rescued thus from sin and danger, Purchased by the Savior's blood, May I walk on earth a stranger, As a son and heir of God.

D G Tried to believe, but faith didn’t come. C D God, our sky clearing, Jesus appearing, G D We by God were transfused! G G7 We by God were transfused!

C G Propitiation made by the blood, D G G7Jesus’ redemption bought us for God! C G D No condemnation, justification! G D We have peace toward God! G We have peace toward God!

2 Born into Adam, dying we were;

We had a sickness no one could cure. God, His Son sending, old Adam ending; He is dead; we are free! He is dead; we are free!

3 Now we’re rejoicing, standing in grace, Oh, hallelujah! Sin is erased! God in us flowing, in our hearts growing, We are saved in His life! We are saved in His life!

4 Now the new covenant given to us, Cup full of blessing, how glorious! We are forgiven, God is our portion, It is ours through His blood! It is ours through His blood!

3 I am so glad I received Him, Jesus my heart's dear King; I who so often have grieved Him, All to His feet would bring

4 How can I ever be lonely, How can I ever fall; What can I want, if only Christ is my all in all?

5 Now in His bosom confiding, This my glad song shall be; I am in Christ abiding, And Christ abides in me.

3 Then, as hour by hour glides by thee, Thou wilt blessed guidance know, Thine own burdens being lightened, Thou canst bear another’s woe; Thou canst help the weak ones onward, Thou canst raise up those that fall: But remember, while thou servest, Still tell Jesus, tell Him all.

4 And if weariness creeps o’er thee As the day wears to its close, Or if sudden fierce temptation Bring thee face to face with foes; In thy weakness, in thy peril, Raise to heaven a truthful call; Strength and calm for every crisis Come, in telling Jesus all.

D D7 G D1 As a lily growing out of a bramble bush,

D F#m As a bright star shining forth in E7 A the darkest night, D D7 G EmIs a story excellent bright and fragrant D A G DOf Boaz and Ruth in a divine romance.

2 Ruth the Moabitess joined to God's holy elect. Boaz took care of her and redeemed all her debt. First she gleaned from his land, then got married to him; This is how she was joined to God's eternal plan.

D7 G DLord, I love You and treasure You. D Bm E7 A Lord, I choose You and respond to You. D D7 G Em You're my everything, You're above all. D AYou're my Husband, and my rest, and my G A D all in all.

3 The eternal God entered and

stepped into time. For this He needed persons to carry the line-- Those who fulfilled His plan, to bring God into man, Bringing divinity into humanity.

4 In the universe this is the greatest event, That is Christ's incarnation – in His first advent. Ruth became an ancestress in this mystery-- God and man to be mingled as one entity.

5 God had promised the seed of a

woman for man That would crush Satan's head and redeem fallen man, To make God and man one, what a glory to Him! We are qualified now to partake of Him.

6 We are Moabites too, constituted with sin. We are under God's wrath and His condemnation. But through Christ's redemption, He's our portion we claim. In this organic union, we're married to Him.


A D A D 1 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,

A F#m E Thou hast won each love from me; F#m D A Who like Thee – so fair and comely? F#m D E Who like Thee – so sweet and lovely? F#m D A D Matchless One, unrivaled beauty, A E D None can e'er compete with Thee!

2 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus, Gladly will I hear Thy call; Since Thy voice my heart hath entered, I from all things could but sever; Void are all my other seekings, Every pride hath disappeared.

3 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus, How can I sill stubborn be? At Thy feet cast all my hard'nings, And return with songs and singings; 'Tis my love to be Thy bondslave, 'Tis my joy to Thee obey.

4 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus, Thy way only will I choose; Though in tears while I'm obeying, Yet I would not change my standing; All I long for is Thy pleasure, And the peace Thy love would bring.

5 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus, When Thy presence does depart, Seems the dawn has lost its traces, Hidden are my smiling faces; All I yearn for is Thy coming And Thy presence' sweet embrace.

6 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus, Can I tell it all to Thee? Thou my love and satisfaction, Thou my everlasting portion; Thou art all that I desire, Nothing else I would pursue.

7 Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus, All I have I give to Thee; Who like Thee – so fair and comely? Who like Thee – so sweet and lovely? Matchless One, unrivaled beauty, None can e'er compete with Thee!

If not Jesus, none can rest; G Em A Lord, my heart to Thee is given;

Dm7 G C Take it, for it loves Thee best.

Old tune:

D A D A 2 Thus I cast the world behind me;

Bm G Em A Jesus most beloved shall be; Bm A Em F#m Beauteous more than all things beauteous, G F#m A D He alone is joy to me.

3 Bright with all eternal radiance Is the glory of Thy face; Thou art loving, sweet, and tender, Full of pity, full of grace.

4 When I hated, Thou didst love me,

Shedd'st for me Thy precious blood; Still Thou lovest, lovest ever, Shall I not love Thee, my God?

5 Keep my heart still faithful to Thee, That my earthly life may be, But a shadow to that glory Of my hidden life in Thee.

A D Jesus, I love You, A D My treasure, You are;

F#m E How could I choose anything A D less than You? A F#m Dear Lord, my inmost heart You’ve E A captured and won.

2 Dead I was in sin, Lord, so lost without You;

Helpless, wounded, weary, rebellious, too; But Lord, You came! You would not let me go; The blood and water flowed from Your side, Constraining me to tell You:

3 Thank You Lord, You opened my blind eyes to see.

I was lame, but now I can walk; You healed me! My leprosy, Lord, You cleansed all away; My ears were opened to hear Your voice, And now I follow You ‘cause:

4 Sometimes Lord, I’m drawn off by my selfish cares;

And the world it draws me with glitter and glare. O Lord, You’ve trapped me. Don’t let me go. Kiss me and woo me, and win my heart, So, I will always tell You:

5 Keep my heart so soft, Lord, so open to You;

It would be the good ground to bear fruit for You; Capture my friends, Lord, and build us, I pray; Your Bride, we’d match You in every way, And, corporately we tell You:

Jesus, come quickly, We’re waiting for You; We’re the virgins to You, So single and true; Forever and ever Your counterpart true.

1 There is a great myst’ry Em A romantic story, F For ages it was veiled, C G But now fully revealed; C ‘Tis a romance divine EmOf God and man in time; F Beyond understanding, G Yet seen in God’s speaking.

C God fell in love with man. AmFor only God’s love can F Make man just the same as He G In life and in nature. C We are His expression, AmHis bride, His enlargement; F Forever together, C G As living, insep’rable as one couple C Eternally.

2 Though He was rejected

By men who were blinded; His love is constraining, His heart still unchanging; Thus He became a man With a definite plan; His name is called Jesus, And He came to seek us.

3 Though I have lived in sin, I now have been redeemed By Christ who died for me, Who was raised in glory. Now I am joined to Him, Together we’re living; I love to enjoy Him, For I’ve been forgiven.

4 His love is so tender, To Him I’ll surrender, His name’s full of savor I gladly call in prayer; His person’s so charming, My heart ever winning; I’ll hold back no longer, I’ll love Him forever.

Em A Alone can make thee whole.

G A O, Cross of Christ, I take thee

D Bm Into this heart of mine,

G A D That I to my own self may die

G A D And rise to thy life Divine.

Old tune:

D7 G That too become thou must; D God, if thou lovest God, D7 G Dust, if thou lovest dust. D G Go out, God will come in; Em A7 D Die thou and let Him live; C G Be not and He will be; D G Wait and He’ll all things give.

D G O, Cross of Christ, I take thee Em A7 D D7 Into this heart of mine, G C D That I to my own self may die G D G And rise to Thy life Divine.

3 To bring thee to thy God,

Love takes the shortest route; The way which knowledge leads, Is but a roundabout. Drive out from thee the world, And then thy heart shall be Filled with the love of God, And holy like as He.

3 Ever increase, Lord, within me, My desire for You. Let Your kisses ever kiss me, And that I’d kiss You. Dear Lord Jesus, may I ever be, So betrothed to You. May I love You, always love You, And respond to You.

2 He’s my Beloved, I am His own love; He draweth me, pursue I after Him. Fragrant as myrrh, I’d hide Him in my heart; Beauteous as henna, I’d be clothed with Him;

3 Bathe in His love, and of His fatness taste, Lie on His breast, His sweetness there enjoy; His love the banner, His affection shown Tenderly soothes my heart to purest joy.

4 Oh, my Beloved’s mine, and I am His; I am a lily and my Shepherd He; May daybreak come, the shadows flee away, Him on the mountains as a hart I’d see.

5 Myrrh of the death with Him and frankincense,

The resurrection, permeate my heart; North wind awake, and Let the south wind blow, Make my heart’s garden pleasure to His heart.

6 I’d be to Him a dove that’s undefiled, As a pure lily in His presence be, His, wholly His, the joy of all His joys, He wholly mine, the Song of songs to me.

7 Fair as the moon, conformed to Him I’d be, Clear as the sun, unto His stature grown; For my Beloved, all to please His heart, For my Beloved, that His life be shown.

8 Thou art my life, and I Thine image real; Love in such union is as death most strong, Ne’er can it be destroyed or e’er replaced Till Thou on spices mountains Come ere long.

1 Father, I know that all my life D Bm Em A7

is portioned out for me, Em F#m G And the changes that are sure to come

Gm A D DM7 I do not fear to see; Em A F#m Bm But I ask Thee for a present mind Em A D intent on pleasing Thee.

2 I ask Thee for a thoughtful love, through constant watching wise, To meet the glad with joyful smiles, and to wipe the weeping eyes; And a heart at leisure from itself, to soothe and sympathize.

3 I would not have the restless will that hurries to and fro, Seeking for some great thing to do or secret thing to know; I would be treated as a child, and guided where I go.

4 Wherever in the world I am, in whatso’er estate, I have a fellowship with hearts to keep and cultivate; And a work of lowly love to do for the Lord whom I wait.

5 So I ask Thee for the daily strength, to none that ask denied. And a mind to blend with outward life while keeping at Thy side; Content to fill a little space, if Thou be glorified.

6 There are briers besetting every path that call for patient care; There is a cross in every slot, and an earnest need for prayer; But a lowly heart that leans on Thee is happy anywhere.

7 And if some things I do ask in my cup of blessing be, I would have my spirit filled the more with grateful love to Thee. More careful, not to serve Thee much, but to please Thee perfectly.

8 In a service which Thy will appoints there are no bonds for me; For my inmost heart is taught “the truth” that makes Thy children “free” And a life of self-renounced love is a life of liberty.

3 Many will confess His wisdom,

Few embrace His shame. Many, should He smile upon them, Will His praise proclaim; Then, if for a while He leave them, They desert His name, Then, if for a while He leave them, They desert His name.

4 But the souls who love Him truly, Let woe come or bliss, These will count their dearest hearts' blood Not their own, but His. Savior, Thou who thus hast loved me, Give me love like this, Savior, Thou who thus hast loved me, Give me love like this.

160 (Hymns, #434) D G D 1 Lord, Thou hast won, at length I yield;

G D My heart by mighty grace compelled A Surrenders all to Thee; Bm G Against Thy terrors long I strove, Bm G But who can stand against Thy love? D A Love conquers even me.

Consecration

2 If Thou hadst bid Thy thunders roll, And light'nings flash, to blast my soul, I still had stubborn been; But mercy has my heart subdued, A bleeding Savior I have viewed, And now I hate my sin.

3 Now, Lord, I would be Thine alone, Come, take possession of Thine own, For Thou hast set me free; Released from Satan's hard command, See all my powers waiting stand, To be employed by Thee.

D A G D 1 Living for Jesus a life that is true,

A Bm E7 A7 Striving to please Him in all that I do; D A G F# Yielding allegiance, glad-hearted and free, Em D A7 D This is the pathway of blessing for me.

O Jesus, Lord and Savior, Em I give myself to Thee, A7 D For Thou, in Thy redemption,*

E7 A7 Didst give Thyself for me;

DI own no other Master, D7 G My heart shall be Thy throne, D B7 My life I give, henceforth to live, Em A7 D O Christ, for Thee alone.

2 Living for Jesus who died in my place,

Bearing on Calv’ry my sin and disgrace; Such love constrains me to answer His call, Follow His leading and give Him my all.

3 Living for Jesus wherever I am, Doing each duty in His holy name; Willing to suffer affliction and loss, Deeming each trial a part of my cross.

4 Living for Jesus through earth’s little while, My dearest treasure, the light of His smile; Seeking the lost ones He died to redeem, Bringing the weary to find rest in Him.

G A D Bm Precious lives and heart treasures, too, G A D Positions and golden futures, G A D Bm Have been "wasted" on You, Lord, G A D Your sweetness – a fragrance so sure.

G A D Bm She took opportunity G A D To love You, Lord, with her best. G A D Bm Like her, Lord, I too would pour G A D My love and all that I have.

2 As I love You I set my being,

My spirit, my soul and body, With my heart, my mind and my strength, Absolutely on Thee. Lord, I let my entire being Be occupied by Thee. As I enter in Your heart, I sense a fellowship sweet.

Occupied and lost in You, My Lord, You're my everything, Fellowship so intimate; In spirit, Lord, I enjoy Thee.

3 Lord there's none in heav'n nor on earth

That I desire but Thee. Though my heart and flesh faileth, Lord, Thou ever my portion will be. All is vanity, all is dung, I count all other things loss. Everything else drains my love, But You have captured my heart.

Lord, I've seen Thy preciousness, Thy worth, Thy reality; Now, my Lord, I must confess, My heart is only for Thee.

D D7 G D 1 Lord Jesus, I long in Thy presence to live,

F#m Em From morning to evening my one world A Thou art; D D7 G D O let not my heart be contented or rest Bm F#m When loving or seeking A D what with Thee doth part. A Each moment, each day, E7 A throughout suff'ring and pain, When nought in the world E7 A A7 can give comfort or cheer, D D7 When sighing and weeping G D encompasses me, Bm F#m Lord, still all my sighing A D 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.

197 (Hymns, #403) D G D 1 Live Thyself, Lord Jesus, through me,

A A7 D For my very life art Thou; G D Thee I take to all my problems A A7 D As the full solution now. G D Live Thyself, Lord Jesus, through me, Bm A In all things Thy will be done; D G D I but a transparent vessel A A7 D To make visible the Son.

2 Consecrated is Thy temple, Purged from every stain and sin; May Thy flame of glory now be Manifested from within. Let the earth in solemn wonder See my body willingly Offered as Thy slave obedient, Energized alone by Thee.

3 Every moment, every member,

Girded, waiting Thy command; Underneath the yoke to labor Or be laid aside as planned. When restricted in pursuing, No disquiet will beset; Underneath Thy faithful dealing Not a murmur or regret.

4 Ever tender, quiet, restful, Inclinations put away, That Thou may for me choose freely As Thy finger points the way. Live Thyself, Lord Jesus, through me, For my very life art Thou; Thee I take to all my problems As the full solution now.

5 Thou in the Word art the Spirit and life, Thus by the Word I may feed upon Thee; Thou dost as Spirit in my spirit live, Thus I may drink in the spirit of Thee.

6 Now to enjoy Thee I come to Thy Word, On Thee to feed till my hunger is o'er. Now in my spirit I turn unto Thee, Of Thee to drink till I'm thirsty no more.

7 Feeding and drinking, Lord Jesus, of Thee, Feeding by reading, and drinking by prayer; Reading and praying, I eat and I drink, Praying and reading - Lord, Thou art my fare.

8 Here, O my Lord, may I feast upon Thee; Flood with Thy Spirit and fill by Thy Word; May, Lord, Thou be such a feast unto me As man hath never enjoyed nor e'er heard.

A D So subjective is my Christ to me! A D A Real in me, and rich and sweet! D G D All-inclusive is my Christ to me! A D All my needs He fully meets.

2 Christ to me is so subjective,

Life imparting all the way; As the Spirit He revives me And refreshes day by day.

3 Christ to me is so subjective, All my being He transforms; By the mind and will renewing To His image He conforms.

4 Christ to me is so subjective, Liberating pow’r is He, By the law of life and power As the Spirit setting free.

235 (Hymns, #593) G C G 1 All I have in Adam is but sin and death,

D G A D I in Christ inherit life and righteousness; G C Am When in flesh abiding, Adam I express, G C D G But when in the spirit Christ is manifest.

2 When I am in Adam, though I may not sin,

Unto death, a sinner, sentenced I have been; When in Christ I need not righteously to act, I’m already righteous, justified in fact.

3 In the flesh I need no effort to express Marks of Adam’s nature and its sinfulness; In the spirit I need not to strive or strain, I can live as He is and in spirit reign.

4 Thru my death with Christ, from Adam I am free, Thru my life with Christ, new life is given me! Minding not the flesh, old Adam cannot move, Minding just the spirit, life divine I prove.

5 Minding just the spirit is God’s saving way, Minding just the spirit, Christ we will display; Minding just the spirit, we can overcome, Minding just the spirit, we the race may run.

6 Minding just the spirit, we the cross will know, And His resurrection pow’r thru us will flow; Minding just the spirit, Christ will live thru me, And His life within will reach maturity.

7 In the spirit Christ is life and all to me, Strengthening and blessing all-inclusively; Living in the spirit, holiness I prove, And the triune God within my heart doth move.

236 C G 1 Day 1, You came to me, F C

Brooding so tenderly. F C

You spoke a word to me, Dm G

And light did shine. F C

My darkness You effaced, F C

My emptiness replaced; F Em Am

The gospel's light erased Dm G C

My hist'ry vain.

2 Day 2, did come and go, But one thing I did know: Things earthly lost their glow; They're dead to me. The atmosphere– expanse Lifted my circumstance, That life may thus advance For growth in me.

3 Day 3, the land so dry Emerged from waters high. Grass, herbs, and trees did rise; Your life had sprung. My death You now recede. As life do rise in me; Rise more 'til there's no sea Within my being.

4 Day 4, the sun did shine With wings of healing light. The moon was shining, too, The church, my home. The saints as stars with light Shine midst this dark'ning night, Setting my feet aright To walk Your way.

5 Day 5, the fish arrived Against the worldly tide. Death waters they survived, With life empow'red. From fish to bird I soar By waiting on You, Lord. Your grace to me affords Strength o'er all things.

6 Day 6, from air to ground, Cattle and beasts around, Then all creation crowned With man– like You. Through growth expressing Thee With Your authority, I'd reach maturity, Your purpose gained.

My honor and my wealth; My heart’s desire, my body’s strength, My soul’s eternal health.

4 Burn, burn, O love, within my heart, Burn fiercely night and day, Till all the dross of earthly loves Is burned, and burned away.

5 O light in darkness, joy in grief, O heaven’s life on earth; Jesus, my love, my treasure, who Can tell what Thou art worth?

6 What limit is there to this love? Thy flight, where wilt Thou stay? On, on! our Lord is sweeter far Today than yesterday.

With our enjoyment of the Lord, To be filled with Him? And if we do our part To spend time to receive Him in the Word, We'll spontaneously o'erflow Him.

So why not turn to Christ right now? Simply eat Him that is how. If we're soaked and filled up to the brim, We can't help but express Him. This is God's economy That you would be filled fully, Overflowing His rich dispensing, Build the Body corporately.

2 God is incarnate in the flesh that we Him may receive, experience ourself; This is the grace which we receive of God, Which comes thru Christ and which is Christ Himself.

3 Paul the Apostle counted all as dung, T'was only God in Christ he counted grace;

‘Tis by this grace – the Lord experienced– That he surpassed the others in the race.

4 It is this grace - Christ as our inward strength–

Which with His all-sufficiency doth fill; It is this grace which in our spirit is, There energizing, working out God's will.

5 This grace, which is the living Christ Himself, Is what we need and must experience; Lord, may we know this grace and by it live, Thyself increasingly as grace to sense.

C D Stretching forward to that which is before; C For I’ve been kissed with the kisses of Your G mouth, C G For I have seen the centre of Your heart, C D And I have heard Your longing, longing call.

2 So we will run, rejoicing in His love,

Knowing He will come And we’ll be fully Him; Standing firm, joined in soul, Thinking one thing, Forbearing, not anxious, full of His peace— Beyond understanding of any man.

3 Practice these things: The things which you have learned,

256 (Capo 2) G Bm 1 Morning dawn had arisen. C D

Abraham saddled his donkey, G Bm

Took his two young men with him, C D And Isaac, his beloved son.

C G Lord, You’re God’s only Son,

C G And of God begotten.

C G “This is My beloved Son, D C D G In whom I am well-pleased.”

2 To his young men he said then,

“Stay and we’ll return to you.” To Moriah he led him, His son Isaac– just them two.

Just the son and the father, Speaking with one another. Isaac said, “My father!” Abraham Said, “Here I am.”

3 As You spoke with Your Father

You bore the wood God laid on You. As a lamb to the slaughter, Obedient to the death were You.

Precious blood of the Lamb, Slain before earth began, Laid Your life down for Your sheep, in love, That I might live.

4 Man of sorrows, I love You.

From You men did hide their face. With no majesty to You, Despised, forsaken and disgraced.

For my sins You were crushed. Lord, I love You so much. Chastened, scourged and then pierced through, my grieves And sorrows bore.

5 Dead in sins and offenses,

I’m a bruised reed– smoking flax. Yet to death You were given, For of Your sheep, You’d not lose one.

Like the woman, I'd weep, Flow my tears at Your feet. Jesus Lord, I just love You– dear Lord, Jesus my Lord.

C G Am F 1 Once it was the blessing,

C G C G Now it is the Lord; C G Am F Once it was the feeling, C G C Now it is His Word;

F C G C Once His gift I wanted,

F C G Now, the Giver own; C G Am F Once I sought for healing, C G C Now Himself alone.

F C G C

All in all forever, F C G

Only Christ I’ll sing; C G Am F Everything is in Christ, C G C And Christ is everything.

Old tune: D 2 Once ‘twas painful trying,

G D Now ‘tis perfect trust; BmOnce a half salvation, E A Now the uttermost; G D Once ‘twas ceaseless holding, G D Now He holds me fast; BmOnce ‘twas constant drifting, Em A D Now my anchor’s cast.

D G - D All in all forever, A A7 Only Christ I’ll sing; D G D Everything is in Christ, A D And Christ is everything.

3 Once ‘twas busy planning,

Now ‘tis trustful prayer; Once ‘twas anxious caring, Now He has the care; Once ‘twas what I wanted, Now what Jesus says; Once ‘twas constant asking, Now ‘tis ceaseless praise.

4 Once it was my working, His it hence shall be; Once I tried to use Him, Now He uses me; Once the pow’r I wanted, Now the Mighty One; Once for self I laboured, Now for Him alone.

5 Once I hoped in Jesus, Now I know He’s mine; Once my lamps were dying, Now they brightly shine; Once for death I waited, Now His coming hail; And my hopes are anchored Safe within the veil.

264 D A Bm 1 Lovers of Christ in His ascension G Em A

Enjoy the riches of His life. D Em She becomes His private garden F#m F#With its fountain, fruit and spice. G Em A Christ is hers and she is Christ's dear love.

2 She is as beautiful as Tirzah As lovely as Jerusalem. Through her living in Christ's ascension Her dear heart is now His home. She's become the sanctuary of God.

3 Who is this woman I am seeing? Shining forth as the moon and sun. She is absolutely heavenly, From the old creation free; Overcoming all to live within the veil.

4 An army terrible with banners Christ's lovers overcome to be. Those attracted by His beauty, Fully trusting in His power. Her romance is now the dances of two camps.

5 The Shulammite, His duplication, His counterpart has now become. She's the same in life and nature, His expression to the full; G Em A D Consummated as the New Jerusalem.

Old tune: repeat last line G D G G7

3 To Thee I owe my wealth, and friends, C G And health, and safe abode; D G Thanks to Thy name for meaner things, C D G But they are not my God, D G But they are not my God.

4 How vain a toy is glittering wealth, If once compared to Thee! Or what’s my safety, or my health, Or all my friends to me.

5 Were I possessor of the earth, And called the stars my own, Without Thy graces and Thyself, I were a wretch undone.

6 Let others stretch their arms like seas, And grasp in all the shore; Grant me the visits of Thy grace, And I desire no more.

All the riches of this life that is within. Not just shallowness with strife, But a deep and peaceful life Is just waiting to flow out, a living spring. With the saints it’s easy to be bold, To pursue this life, to gain it, to lay hold. All the other things we find, must be Quickly left behind, So that only life remains for us to see.

3 Deeper, Lord, our turn must be to You; We would move by life in everything we do: All our concepts refute, For Your life be absolute — Grant us grace to turn much Deeper day by day. When we touch our spirit — such a thrill! This is far beyond emotion, mind, and will. It’s within our hidden part — Come, make home in all our heart; Let Your presence flow as rivers deep within.

3 The river does the Spirit show, Coming man’s spirit to supply, That with God’s riches he be filled, Holy to be thereby.

4 The Christ of glory is my life, He as the Spirit lives in mine, That I with God be fully blent And in His image shine.

5 I would exalt this glorious Christ, Ever the Spirit I’d obey, Making His glory fully known, Filled with His grace for aye.

2 Saints, beware the knowledge tree Appearing so good; it's even pretty. Its evil and good will open your eyes. Its issue, my friend: you'll surely die. The serpent, he crept in, Injected in man his death and sin. Man was seduced this knowledge to take. My friend, that was the greatest mistake.

3 Look, dear saints, in eternity! There's just a river and a tree! It's life, life abundantly — Eating and drinking our destiny. God's growing and flowing. We're eating and drinking. God is our treasure. He is our joy and pleasure.

4 Christ is the tree of life, Eating Him always satisfies. Christ is the river, Drink Him, our joy and pleasure. Eat Him and drink Him, Christ our enjoyment. God is our treasure. He is our joy and pleasure.

"O Lord, Amen, Hallelujah!”— Jesus is so sweet! We our spirits exercise, and thus experience Christ. What a Christ have we!

Where the brothers all unite and truly are one. Jesus gets us all together, Him we now display In the local church.

297 (Hymns, #630)(Capo 1)

D A Bm 1 The way of the Cross means sacrifice,

G D As to God you yield your all A G Bm To be laid on the altar, the place of death, D G E A Where fire will surely fall.

D G ’Tis the way of the Cross, Em AAre you willing for this? B7 Em What does bearing the Cross BMean to you? Am D You who’ve given yourself, B7 EmYour all to God! C D G To God are you wholly true?

2 As the voice of song and prayer we raise,

How easy to say, We give all; Till some rougher cross lies just before, And sterner is duty’s call.

3 Do you falter then, or, true to death, Just die on the cross in the way, Till the fulness of life from the Living One Is filling you day by day?

4 ’Tis the plan of life, for you die to live, One with Jesus crucified; With the life alone to be lived through you, Of the Risen, the Glorified.

298 (Hymns, #639) (Capo 2)

D D7 G D 1 Death cannot hold the resurrection life,

G D E7 A The life of God eternal manifest; D D7 G Em ’Tis uncreated, indestructible, A7 D ’Tis Christ Himself, Em A7 DUnconqu’rable expressed.

2 Death cannot hold the resurrection life, Though all its force against it may combine; Death only gives it opportunity To show the boundless pow’r of life divine.

3 Death cannot hold the resurrection life, The more interred, the more it multiplies; All kinds of suff’ring only help it grow And fruits of life abundant realize.

4 Death cannot hold the resurrection life, Thru every block and barrier it breaks; Conqu’ring the pow’r of darkness and of hell, It swallows death and victory partakes.

5 Death cannot hold the resurrection life, All of God’s fullness it will manifest; God’s righteousness and holiness it yields, His glorious image by it is expressed.

6 Oh, may I know this resurrection life, In every kind of death its pow’r outpoured, In my experience ever realize This life is nought but Christ my living Lord.

299 (Hymns, #280)

C A7 Dm 1 Lord, may Thy blood now cleanse me,

G C Wash all my sins away, Am D That with Thy Holy Spirit F G C Thou may anoint I pray. A7 Dm My service, I confess, Lord, G C is failure-full and weak;

Am DThe filling of Thy Spirit F G D To live for Thee I seek.

F Oh, from myself deliver, D G G7 From all its misery; C Dm I’d henceforth be forever F G7 C Completely filled with Thee.

2 Oh, Lord, how dry my heart is,

It yearns and pants for Thee; The filling of Thy Spirit Is now my fervent plea. Within the smitten Rock, Lord, I would entirely hide; Pour thru Thy living water, Till I am satisfied.

Experiencing the Cross and Resurrection

3 How cold my heart has been, Lord, How slow obeying Thee; So fill me with Thy Spirit, I'll ne'er rebellious be. I lie upon Thy altar And dare not move away; Oh, may Thy flame descending Consume my all, I pray.

4 Oh, may Thy Cross within me Deepen its work and burn, In me enlarge Thy measure, And me to ashes turn. Oh, may Thy Spirit fill me Each day more than before, And may Thy living water On me and thru me pour.

300 (Hymns, #279) D 1 First the blood, and then the ointment,

A A7 D Cleansing, then anointing comes; Bm If we pass not thru Golgotha, Em A Ne’er to Pentecost we’ll come. D G D If the blood has never cleansed us, Bm A Ne’er the Spirit’s pow’r we’ll know, G D If for Christ we’d truly witness, A D Self-life to the Cross must go. A D

Through the Cross, O Lord I pray, G A Put my soul–life all away D Make me any price to pay, G A A7 D Full anointing to receive.

2 Christ, the Rock, must first be smitten,

That the living water flow; Without death the Spirit's fullness Ne'er could dwell in man below. If with Christ we die completely, Willing thus our all to lose, He will clothe us with His power And to win the world will use.

3 First the altar, then the fire, If no loss, there'll be no gain; If our all has not been offered, To the throne we'll ne'er attain. If to sacrifice we're willing, All forsaking, God t'obey, He to us will be committed And thru us His pow'r display.

4 First we must prepare the vessels That the Oil they may contain; Dig the valley full of ditches That they may be filled with Rain. First we must go thru the Jordan Ere anointed from above; First in death we must be baptized, Then experience the Dove.

5 When we see the ripened harvest Of the golden countryside, We may know that many seeds have Fallen to the earth and died. Ere the fruit of life may blossom, We must surely suffer death; If with Christ we've not been buried, We'll not feel the Spirit's breath.

6 Since it must be thus, I pray, Lord, Help me go the narrow way; Deal with pride and make me willing Thus to suffer, Thee t'obey. I for greater power pray not, Deeper death is what I need; All the meaning of the Cross, Lord, Work in me—for this I plead.

301 (Hymns, #631)

D A 1 If I’d know Christ’s risen power,

D G A7 D I must ever love the Cross; A7 Life from death alone arises; D G A7 D There’s no gain except by loss.

A7If no death, no life, A D If no death, no life; G Life from death alone arises; D A7 D If no death, no life.

2 If I’d have Christ formed within me,

I must breathe my final breath, Live within the Cross’s shadow, Put my soul-life e’er to death.

3 If God thru th’ Eternal Spirit Nail me ever with the Lord; Only then as death is working Will His life thru me be poured.

Experiencing the Cross and Resurrection

302 Em Am Deny - all that is natural. Em D Practice - giving up your self. G Em When you let go - let the Lord in. C AmWhen you are not - He can be! D He can be! EmOur soul was made AmTo express the Lord; D Give Him the way! EmTake the Lord as your life! D Let the spirit control - Am The parts of your soul, Em C To express the Lord, G To express the Lord.

303 (Hymns, #1179)(Capo 2)

G C G 1 My old man has been crucified with Him,

D D7 G With all its foul corruption deep within; C G And buried too its nature serpentine, D Completely finished – G Cthis great fact is mine, G D G I hold it fast.

2 But there’s a Person in my spirit now, Born as a babe so small, so weak, so low; Who by the Word’s pure milk will grow to be The overcoming inner man in me To gain my heart.

3 Christ as my Person must possess my heart And be preeminent in every part. The former owner died but haunts it still. O Lord, move in; my mind, emotion, will Now welcome Thee.

4 In spirit mingled, we are one, O Lord, The human and divine in one accord; Yet Thou must have a proper faculty That all Thy glorious personality May be expressed.

5 So, Lord, I give my heart to Thee today, That it may be Thy home in every way, A place for Thee to come and settle down, And all Thy grand recovery work to crown In one new man.

304 (Hymns, #723)

C Am Dm 1 He giveth more grace when the burdens

G grow greater, C Am He sendeth more strength when the Dm G labours increase; C Am Dm G To added affliction He addeth His mercy C Am F G C To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.

C Am His love hath no limit, F G His grace hath no measure, Em Am F G His power no boundary known unto men; C Am F G For out of His infinite riches in Jesus, Em Am Dm G C He giveth and giveth and giveth again.

2 When we have exhausted our store of endurance,

When our strength has failed ere the day is half-done, When we reach the end of our hoarded resources, Our Father’s full giving is only begun.

3 When Satan assails and temptations grow stronger, And often we feel it is too much to bear; In weakness we learn of an infinite Power— His grace is sufficient; our Father doth care.

305 D Em

1 He understands you thoroughly; A7 D There’s nothing He does not know. EmAll your problems and weaknesses; A7 D D7Don’t say it isn’t so!

G A He’s your Helper, sympathizing.

F#m BmHe’s the Spirit. Don’t neglect Him. EmHe’s praying for you

A A7 D And sustaining you.

Cross & Resurrection / Comfort & Encouragement

2 He gives support and comforts you, Interceding night and day, And when you’re weak, He groans for you With words you cannot say. He’s the Spirit, interceding. He’s the Spirit. Don’t neglect this Wonderful One Who is praying for you.

3 So many times we are so weak,

But Someone deep within Supplies the very help we need, And we’re upheld by Him. He says, “Don’t be disappointed.” He knows all your fears and failures; He’s praying for you As no one else can do.

306 (Hymns, #341)

A E D E A 1 When peace like a river attendeth my way,

F#m B E When sorrows like sea billows roll; A D Whatever my lot B7 E Thou hast taught me to say, A D E A “It is well, it is well with my soul!”

E It is well (it is well) A With my soul! (with my soul!) D E E7 A It is well, it is well with my soul!

2 Though Satan should buffet,

Though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ hath regarded My helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for my soul.

3 My sin - oh, the bliss Of this glorious thought -

My sin, not in part, but the whole, Is nailed to His Cross, and I bear it no more; Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

4 For me, be it Christ, Be it Christ hence to live;

If dark hours about me shall roll, No pang shall be mine, For in death as in life Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul.

307 C Em 1 Fear not, He knows;

F G C My soul why fret and tremble?

Em Am Fear not, He knows; Dm G Your life is in His hands.

C Em Fear not, He knows;

F G Am And you know He is able

F C To care for You, Dm G So trust the best is planned!

C Em Oh Lord, You know;

F G C 'Tis a thought so joyous!

Em Am Though I don't know, Dm G What need have I to fear?

C Em You know, You know;

F G Am Thank and praise You, Jesus!

F C Through all unknowns, F G C You make Yourself so dear!

2 Just trust, He knows

Life's still unwritten letter. Just trust, He knows Plans time would now disguise. Just trust, He knows, He sees which turn is better; At the right time He'll open up your eyes!

3 Just rest, He knows; With Him blindness is pleasant! Just rest, He knows; Sightless, you see Him best! Just rest, He knows; My soul, don't waste the present On those "what-if's". Just turn to Him and rest!

4 Just seek, He knows; Seek first His heart's great yearning. Just seek, He knows; Serve Him, in Him abide. Just seek, He knows; Have peace and rest while turning. Put His cares first; All else He will provide.

Bm G D A G Grace for the trials, help from above, D A G D Unfailing sympathy, undying love.

2 God hath not promised we shall not know

Toil and temptation, trouble and woe; He hath not told us we shall not bear Many a burden, many a care.

3 God hath not promised smooth roads and wide, Swift, easy travel, needing no guide; Never a mountain, rocky and steep, Never a river, turbid and deep.

3 Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! Thy wings shall my petition bear To Him whose truth and faithfulness Engage the waiting soul to bless. And since He bids me seek His face, Believe His Word and trust His grace, I’ll cast on Him my every care, And wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

4 Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer! May I thy consolation share, Till, from Mount Pisgah’s lofty height, I view the promised land in sight: This robe of flesh I’ll drop and rise To seize the everlasting prize; The city of the promise, fair, And shout, “Farewell, sweet hour of prayer!”

G D G 1 O let us rejoice in the Lord evermore,

C G Though all things around us be trying, Though floods of affliction G7 Clike sea billows roar, G D G It’s better to sing than be sighing.

D G Then rejoice evermore, rejoice evermore, C G It is better to sing than be sighing: G7 C It is better to live than be dying; G D G So let us rejoice evermore.

2 O let us rejoice in the Lord evermore,

When the darts of the tempter are flying, For Satan still dreads, as he oft did of yore, Our singing much more than our sighing.

3 O let us rejoice in the Lord evermore, When sickness upon us is stealing, No cordial like gladness our strength can restore, For joy is the fountain of healing.

3 Oh, blissful lack of wisdom,

’Tis blessed not to know; He holds me with His own right hand, And will not let me go, And lulls my troubled soul to rest In Him who loves me so.

4 So on I go not knowing; I would not if I might; I’d rather walk in the dark with God Than go alone in the light; I’d rather walk by faith with Him Than go alone by sight.

Experiencing Christ by Trusting Him

3 Things that once were wild alarms Cannot now disturb my rest; Closed in everlasting arms, Pillowed on the loving breast. Oh, to lie forever here, Doubt and care and self resign, While He whispers in my ear, I am His, and He is mine.

4 His forever, only His: Who the Lord and me shall part? Ah, with what a rest of bliss Christ can fill the loving heart. Heaven and earth may fade and flee, Firstborn light in gloom decline; But, while God and I shall be, I am His, and He is mine.

2 There is always something over, When we, from the Father’s hand, Take our portion with thanksgiving, Praising for the things He planned. Satisfaction, full and deepening, All our need He doth supply, When the heart has tasted Jesus Its desires to satisfy, When the heart has tasted Jesus Its desires to satisfy.

3 There is always something over, When we share in all His love; Unplumbed depths still lie beneath us, Unscaled heights rise far above. Human lips can never utter All His wondrous tenderness. We can only praise and wonder And His Name forever bless, We can only praise and wonder And His Name forever bless.

Terminating, the old creation, Nullifying, flesh, sin, and Satan. Oh, what a promised seed! He crushed the devil’s; He crushed the devil’s; He crushed the devil’s head.

5 And in resurrection, this wonderful Person--

The Spirit He became. The Spirit right now is the Son with the Father To be the consummation.

Wonderful One, life-giving Spirit! Son has become the consummation. Son with the Father, He As Spirit dwells in, as Spirit dwells in me.

6 And in His ascension, this wonderful

Person, This man is on God’s throne. The highest position, to Him it was given; He’s ruling and reigning.

As Lord of lords and King of kings, The highest name to Jesus given. This man is on God’s throne. Most wonderful, most wonderful Person!

7 And in His enthronement as Head over all

things, The processed God is He. Dispensing Himself as the life-giving Spirit, Producing His Body.

The Triune God is not for doctrine. The Trinity is for dispensing. He’s now dispensing, And we’re enjoying, and we’re enjoying, And we’re enjoying Him.

Or a chapel in the air; But a garden where our Lord Can plant and sow. So He's placed us all here corporately To be His garden fair, Where He's free to cultivate And make us grow.

3 Thus within the church-life garden There's a fruit-producing tree Full of life and so available to eat. So be simple, don't be hardened, Drop your concepts—eat that tree! Take in Jesus every moment—He's so sweet!

4 With the tree there is the water, Flowing God in Christ to us, Quenching all our dryness, Ending all our strife. Hallelujah! In His garden Jesus flows Himself to us, As the full supply for us to grow in life.

5 Aren't you satisfied and thankful That our Lord has brought you in Where His pleasures and His riches Flow so free? So be happy and be joyful, In the spirit feast on Him,

So God's garden can bear fruit abundantly.

I’m pressing toward the mark A - E7-A7 By enjoying God! D D7I don’t know so much, G Gm Just to love Him. D A7 I’m walking down the road, D - G - D Glory, here I come.

D 1 With the brothers and the sisters,

G D We enjoy Him day by day. BmIt’s so simple and easy, E A Our worries flee away. D D7 Now we’re growing together, G D As one big family, A D Abíding in the joy of the Lord.

2 We enjoy You, Lord Jesus, In our experience. We’re getting to know You — It’s making us leap and dance. Just eating and drinking, It’s what we do the best, Delighting in the love of the Lord.

3 We’re walking, not running,

‘Cause we’re in the pasture land. Our Shepherd is nearby, We’re trusting in His hand. He’s everything to us, He’s all we ever need, Resting in the peace of the Lord.

422 (Hymns, #1287) G 1 Let's take the land!

The land that God has given us; D D7

In all our living, Christ can be so much: G To take this land, C We have th' equipment that we need— G Em The blood, the Word, D G The Spirit, and the church.

Sisters:

Let's take the land! O Christian brothers, AmThe land that God has given us.

D D7Be strong and take it, for we can make it G D And gain this land so glorious! Brothers: G Let's take the land! O Christian sisters, G7 C And to these things give earnest heed.

The Lord implores us; G He's gone before us C D G And given everything we need!

2 We have the blood! Christ is our spotless offering,

Who gave Himself, our God to satisfy; And so we come with boldness To the throne of grace, And all day long, the precious blood apply.

3 We have the Word! The written Word's our daily food;

We mix this Word with faith and say "Amen!" Then thro' the day, The spoken Word will speak to us And regulate our living from within.

4 The Spirit's ours! The Spirit of reality, He's independent of the way we feel; He dwells in us, and Teaches us to dwell in Him, And guides us into everything that's real.

5 We have the church! All saints are needed to possess

The fullness of this vast reality; Together we will gain This all-inclusive Christ,

And He to us our everything will be.

423 (Hymns, #1232)

G G7 C G 1 Once by nature we were dead in sin,

Em A D7 In a world of utter discord; G G7 C G But together God has quickened us, Em D7 G Raised us up to sit together with the Lord.


C Cm Jesus is getting us together,

G Em A D7 Come and see the saints in one accord.

G G7 C Cm His love is knitting us together, G D7 G To the stature of the fullness of the Lord.

2 Thus with all saints we can apprehend All the vast dimensions of God. Knowing Christ’s love passes all we know, We’re together filled to fullness with our God.

3 Now we know the purpose of our God, Visible the mystery became: Christ, the church, together now we see, And together put the enemy to shame.

4 For this cause we pray the Father God Strengthen Thou with might our inner man; Make Yourself at home in all our hearts, Root us, ground us in Your love and for Your plan.

5 In the Body we’ll be fitly framed As the many members Christ supply; Working in the measure of each part, All by growth in love the Body edify.

6 Now we’re one His purpose to fulfill, As the one new man of His plan. Unto Him be glory in the church, And in Jesus Christ forevermore - Amen!

A Glorious church life, E Feasting from such a rich store! A Here where we’re dwelling in oneness E A God commands life evermore.

2 In the divisions He sought us, Weary and famished for food; Into the good land He brought us, Oh, to our spirit how good!

3 Jesus Himself is our pasture, He is the food that we eat; We as His sheep are fed richly Each time, whenever we meet.

4 Dwell we here on a high mountain, Wet with the morning-fresh dew, Slaking our thirst at the fountain, Water so living and new.

5 Christ is our rest and enjoyment, Here we have nothing to fear; Here all the sheep dwell securely, Kept by His presence so dear.

2 Day by day the world goes on,

Just as it has gone before. Millions grasp and clutch at life, Wond'ring if there could be more; Such was I and would be, yet Mercy found me out somehow; With what gratefulness I say, "I'm in God's own family now."

3 How delightful 'tis to know; How subjective, real, and sweet Is this inward joy of grace We experience when we meet; Life abundant Jesus gives As my full reality; Praise You, Lord, it's really true, I'm in Your own family.

4 At the closing of this age, Just before Your kingdom's dawn, May You gain a people, Lord, For Your dwelling place, Your home. Since for me You gave Your all, Everything I lay aside; For Your church my all I'd give, That You would be satisfied.

2 These are the days, O saints, The heart of man it faints For Satan’s work that’s seen throughout the land. So we must count all loss, Be one at any cost, And give our all for God’s recovery.

3 These are the days, my friend, The Spirit’s moving in To raise the standard up against the foe, To show the one new man According to His plan And draw this generation to Himself.

4 These are the latter days, Go forth and sound His praise, Proclaim to men the kingdom that shall come. The army’s moving out, The enemy to rout, And Christ will gain His rightful place onearth.

4 Lord, Thy life abundant, Flowing, rich and free, Constantly refreshes And empowers me. Death by life is swallowed, Weakness is made strong, All my bonds are broken, Gloom is turned to song.

5 I would give myself, Lord,

Fully unto Thee, That Thy heart’s desire Be fulfilled in me. I no more would struggle To myself reform, Thus in me to hinder What Thou wouldst perform.

6 I would cease completely From my efforts vain, Let Thy life transform me, Full release to gain; Build me up with others Till in us Thou see Thy complete expression Glorifying Thee.

And all our living be filled up with Christ. Then as we live by Him, He lives His life in us, And He becomes to us our daily life.

4 The real experience of Christ in daily life, Will fill the meeting life with Christ Himself. Not empty forms and such, But Christ will be so much; And we will see Him here as The meeting life.

5 Without the inner life there is no daily life, There is no meeting life, there is no church! Christ as our inner life, Christ in our daily life Will make the meeting life new and glorious!

2 As a pilgrim here I wander; While afflicted, I rejoice, For a better land I soon expect to see; Though all others seek for earthly gain, The holy city e’er Will my aspiration be.

3 Though my feet are often wearied On the rough and rugged path, Just by thinking of that city, I’m restored; Though my eyes be filled with tears, My heart will evermore be fixed On that city, my reward.

4 With strong purpose I now wrestle; And I run toward the goal; I pursue the prize, God’s highest to obtain; Pressing forward toward the mark, I run forgetting all behind, Thus the holy city gain.

2 Jesus lived a God-man pattern, Set the way for us to follow, He denied His natural man and Was obedient unto death. Once He was the only God-man; Now we are His duplication. As the many grains we’re blended As His corporate reproduction.

3 Living out His resurrection, Dying to the flesh and soul-life, Living by the mingled spirit, Natural man we will deny. Now we’re living in the Body, Every day we’re overcoming, Striving for the peak of Zion, Watching for our Lord’s appearing.

4 God and man will have one living Always in the mingled spirit; We two are incorporated One organic entity. This the vision of the ages Will control our daily living, That the Lord may have His Body Shining as the holy city.

4 As the center, as the kernel, Of God's plan our spirit is; Calling on the name of Jesus Makes our spirit one with His. From the center to circumference God would saturate each part; Feeling, mind, and will renewing, Making home in all our heart.

5 Thus in life we're built together, Then in love we're knit as one; God is now His plan fulfilling, Finishing what He's begun. Lord, increase Thyself within us That we might be built by Thee Into that great corporate vessel Filled with God exclusively.

1 The Bible is a romance Em D In the most holy sense; F#m Bm God and His chosen people Em A In love it so presents. G D This universal couple G D A Throughout it is displayed Bm G God in Christ is the Bridegroom, Em A D His saints, the bride, portrayed.

2 Through shadows, types and figures, God's deepest thought is known; As typified by Adam, The Husband, Christ, is shown. A rib brought forth from Adam Reveals the source of life By which God built a woman: Eve, as the church, His wife.

3 To be His people's Husband, To take them as His wife: This is what God desires To live in marriage life. Their sacrifice and worship Alone could not content; But with them to be married Was God's foremost intent.

4 This romance is the finest As seen in Song of Songs; For her Beloved's kisses His seeking lover longs. Love's work in her produces No person of her own, But she becomes the city, Her person, Christ alone.

5 Christ is our coming Bridegroom; We are the church, His bride, Redeemed, regenerated, The issue of His side, In source, in life, in nature And person fully one, His counterpart forever, The New Jerusalem.

2 His Son, Jesus, is our Savior, Once in human form He came.

Now as the Spirit He can enter As the breath of life to man. As a seed within our spirit Christ takes root and starts to grow, Spreading in our inmost being Till His life we come to know.

3 Time is short, oh, brothers, hear it! Christ is longing for His Bride.

We can hasten His returning Simply by the growth in life. No more struggling, no more striving, Simply turn to Christ within. See the seed begin to blossom, Growing fully into Him.

Jesus Christ will get His kingdom By growing in a normal way. It's not an instant transformation; This growth goes on from day to day. The seed of life is all-inclusive. It's got everything we'll ever need. Yes, our God's eternal purpose Is all within this precious seed.

When all around my sky is falling 208

When I first believed and His life I received 282

When I've run the race before me 444

When peace like a river attendeth by waves 306

When the Lord turned again 387

When thou wakest in the morning 90

When we believe into the Son 438

When we exercise our spirit 79

When you speak the Word 80

Whenever the heart shall turn to the Lord 383

Wherever you go, I will go 182

Who can e'er know the feeling deep down 310

Who's the king of the jungle? 2

Why was a cup made? 9

Will you be an overcomer? 181

With Christ in my vessel 5

With the kisses of Your mouth 139

Within the veil, be this, belov'd, thy portion 213

Year I spent in sorrow 'round the cross 238

You have ravished oh my heart 118

Your love and beauty has drawn me 206

Your sweetness is just the taste of enjoyment 135

Zion is God's habitation 430
