... His continuing, patient, restoration of my soul



I cannot breathe enough of Thee,
O gentle breeze of love,
More fragrant than the myrtle tree
The Rose of Sharon is to me,
The balm of heaven above,
The balm of heaven above.

I cannot gaze enough on Thee,
The Fairest of the fair:
My heart is filled with ecstasy,
As in Thy face of radiancy
I see such beauty there,
I see such beauty there.

I cannot work enough for Thee,
My Saviour, Master, Friend;
I do not wish to go out free,
But ever, always, willingly,
To serve Thee to the end,
To serve Thee to the end.

I cannot sing enough of Thee,
The sweetest Name on earth,
A note so full of melody
Comes from my heart so joyously,
And fills my soul with mirth,
And fills my soul with mirth.

I cannot speak enough of Thee,
I have so much to tell:
Thy heart it beats so tenderly
As thou dost draw me close to Thee,
And whisper “All is well”,
And whisper “All is well”.

[b][size=small][color=000099][font=Courier]1 John 2:5

But whoever keeps His word,

truly the love of God

is perfected

in him.


By this we know

that we are in Him. [/font][/color][/size][/b]

... another proper summer day, His ministry through the Spirit and help



Sweet is the work, my God, my King,
To praise Thy Name, give thanks and sing;
To show Thy love by morning light
And talk of all Thy truth at night.

Sweet is the day of sacred rest,
No mortal cares disturb my breast,
O may my heart, in tune be found,
With David’s harp of solemn sound.

My heart shall triumph in the Lord,
And bless His works and bless His word;
Thy works of grace, how bright they shine,
Thy counsels, how divine!

And I shall share a glorious part,
When grace has well-refined my heart,
And fresh supplies are shed,
Like holy oil, to cheer my head.

Then, shall I see, and hear, and know,
All I desired or wished below;
And every power find sweet employ
In that eternal world of joy.

And then what triumphs shall I raise
To Thy dear Name through endless days,
For in the realms of joy I’ll see
Thy face in full felicity.

He who says he abides in Him ought

himself also to walk

just as He walked.[/font][/color][/size][/b]

... His power to renew my mind



Dear Saviour, Thou art mine,
How sweet the thought to me!
Let me repeat Thy name,
And lift my heart to Thee.

[i]Refrain:[/i]
[i]Mine! mine! mine!
I know Thou art mine;
Saviour, dear Saviour,
I know Thou art mine.[/i]

Thou art the sinner's Friend,
So I Thy friendship claim,
A sinner saved by grace
When Thy sweet message came.

[i]Refrain:[/i]

My hardened heart was touched;
Thy pard'ning voice I heard;
And joy and peace came in
While list'ning to Thy Word.

[i]Refrain:[/i]

So let me sing Thy praise,
So let me call Thee mine;
I cannot doubt Thy Word,
I know that I am Thine.

[b][color=CC00CC][size=x-small][font=Tahoma]1 John 2:7

Brethren, I write no new commandment to you,

but an old commandment

which you have had from the beginning.

The old commandment is the word

which you heard

from the beginning.


1 John 3:23

And this is His commandment: that we should

believe on the name of His Son Jesus Christ and love one another,

as He gave us commandment.
[/color][/b][/size][/font]

... continuing to establish me in His love and His love in me - :-)



[b][size=x-small]Sing to the Lord a joyful song,
Lift up your hearts, your voices raise;
To us His gracious gifts belong,
To Him our songs of love and praise.

For life and love, for rest and food,
For daily help and nightly care,
Sing to the Lord, for He is good,
And praise His Name, for it is fair.

For strength to those who on Him wait,
His truth to prove, His will to do,
Praise ye our God, for He is great,
Trust in His Name, for it is true.

For joys untold, that from above
Cheer those who love His sweet employ,
Sing to our God, for He is love,
Exalt His Name, for it is joy.

For He is Lord of Heav’n and earth,
Whom angels serve and saints adore,
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
To Whom be praise forevermore.[/size][/b]

[b][size=x-small][font=Batang][color=0000CC]1 John 2:8

Again, a new commandment I write to you,

which thing is true in Him and in you,

because the darkness is passing away,

and the true light is already shining.[/b][/font][/size][/color]

... not being able to stop trusting Him - like when my toddler in the swimming pool said she couldn't sink - and she couldn't...



Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land.
I am weak, but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy powerful hand.
Bread of Heaven, Bread of Heaven,
Feed me till I want no more;
Feed me till I want no more.

Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing stream doth flow;
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through.
Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer,
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield;
Be Thou still my Strength and Shield.

When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Death of deaths, and hell’s destruction,
Land me safe on Canaan’s side.
Songs of praises, songs of praises,
I will ever give to Thee;
I will ever give to Thee.

He who says he is in the light and hates his brother

is in darkness until now.


He who loves his brother abides in the light

and there is no cause for stumbling in him.[/font][/color][/size][/b]

I'm praising God for teaching me through trails, so I can become more mature in Him.

... holding on to me while I grow a bit

He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now. He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.

and walks in darkness

How lovely on the mountains are the feet of Him
Who brings good news, good news;
Announcing peace, proclaiming news of happiness:
Our God reigns, our God reigns!

[i]Refrain[/i]
[i]Our God reigns!
Our God reigns!
Our God reigns!
Our God reigns![/i]

He had no stately form, He had no majesty
That we should be drawn to Him.
He was despised and we took no account of Him.
Our God reigns, our God reigns!

[i]Refrain[/i]

It was our sin and guilt that bruised and wounded Him.
It was our sin that brought Him down.
When we like sheep had gone astray our Shepherd came
And on His shoulders bore our shame.

[i]Refrain[/i]

Meek as a lamb that’s led out to the slaughterhouse,
Dumb as a sheep before its shearer,
His life ran down upon the ground like pouring rain
That we might be born again.

[i]Refrain[/i]

Out from the tomb He came with grace and majesty;
He is alive, He is alive.
God loves us so, see here His hands, His feet, His side
Yes we know, He is alive.

[i]Refrain[/i]

When He cometh, when He cometh
To make up His jewels,
All His jewels, precious jewels,
His loved and His own.

His brightness adorning,
They shall shine in their beauty,
Bright gems for His crown[/i].

He will gather, He will gather
The gems for His kingdom;
All the pure ones, all the bright ones,
His loved and His own.

Who love their Redeemer,
Are the jewels, precious jewels,
His loved and His own.

Zechariah 9:16
The LORD their God will save them in that day,
As the flock of His people.
For they shall be like the jewels of a crown,
Lifted like a banner over His land --

Malachi 3:17
"They shall be Mine," says the LORD of hosts,
"On the day that I make them My jewels.
And I will spare them
As a man spares his own son who serves him."

Because you have known Him

I write to you, young men,

Because you have overcome the wicked one.

I write to you, little children,

Because you have known the Father. [/font][/color][/size][/b]

Lord, it is eventide; the light of day is waning;
Far o’er the golden land earth’s voices faint and fall;
Lowly we pray to Thee for strength and love sustaining,
Lowly we ask of Thee, Thy peace upon us all.
Oh, grant unto our souls -
Light that groweth not pale
With day’s decrease,
Love that never shall fail
Till life shall cease;
Joy no trial can mar,
Hope that shineth afar,
Faith serene as a star,
And Christ’s own peace.

Lord, it is eventide; we turn to Thee for healing,
Like those of Galilee, who came at close of day;
Speak to our waiting souls, ttheir hidden founts unsealing;
Touch us with hands divine that take our sin away,
Oh, grant unto our souls -
Light that groweth not pale
With day’s decrease,
Love that never shall fail
Till life shall cease;
Joy no trial can mar,
Hope that shineth afar,
Faith serene as a star,
And Christ’s own peace.

Saviour, Thou knowest all, the trial and tempation,
Knowest the wilfulness and waywardness of youth;
Help us to cling to Thee, our strength and our salvation,
Help us to find in thee the one eternal Truth.
Oh, grant unto our souls -
Light that groweth not pale
With day’s decrease,
Love that never shall fail
Till life shall cease;
Joy no trial can mar,
Hope that shineth afar,
Faith serene as a star,
And Christ’s own peace.

Lord, it is eventide: our hearts await Thy giving,
Wait for that peace divine that none can take away.
Peace that shall lift our souls to loftier heights of living,
Till we abide with Thee in everlasting day.
Oh, grant unto our souls -
Light that groweth not pale
With day’s decrease,
Love that never shall fail
Till life shall cease;
Joy no trial can mar,
Hope that shineth afar,
Faith serene as a star,
And Christ’s own peace.
