Song Book

I have to admit I am in love with the Song Book. :)
I'm not kidding I really love it!! It just amazes me, especially the chorus section..you know the tiny section at the back with the simple chorus's? Love, love, love it.
Like this one..

All my days and all my hours,
All my will and all my powers,
All the passion of my soul,
Not a fragment but the whole
Shall be thine, dear Lord,
Shall be thine, dear Lord.

So simple, yet so powerful.
I think that too often we just sing the words and don't really think about what we are singing. Unless you really mean them or are striving to live by them, why sing them??


Here are just some of the very powerful chorus's that have had an impact on my life.


All there is of me, Lord,
All there is of me,
Time and talents, day by day,
All I bring to thee;
All there is of me, Lord,
All there is of me,
On thine altar here I lay
All there is of me.


Spirit of the living God,
Fall afresh on me.
Spirit of the living God,
Fall afresh on me.
Break me, melt me, mold me, fill me;
Spirit of the living God,
Fall arfresh on me.


Where he leads me I will follow,
Where he leads me I will follow,
Where he leads me I will follow,
I'll go with him, with him, all the way.


I want to live right, that God may use me
At any time and anywhere:
I want to live right, that God may use me
At any time and anywhere.


This is God's moment, God's moment
for you;
A moment so solemn, yet joyous and new,
Forgiven is all sinning,
Real life is beginning,
For this is God's moment for you.


To be like Jesus!
This hope possesses me,
In every thought and deed,
This is my aim, my creed;
To be like Jesus!
This hope possesses me,
His spirit helping me,
Like him I'll be.


Keep on marching with a fighting faith,
Fighting faith, fighting faith,
Keep on marching with a fighting faith,
And win the world for Jesus.


Bless his name, he sets me free,
Bless his name, he sets me free,
O the blood, the precious blood,
I am trusting in the cleansing flood.
Bless his name, he sets me free,
Bless his name, he sets me free,
I know my sins are washed away,
And now in Jesus I am free.


Clear skies are above me,
Pure are the joys within,
Boundless the grace that keeps me
Free from the power of sin;
Walking each hour with Jesus,
Held by his mighty hand,
Pardoned, the past behind me,
Before, the Gloryland.


The world is needing us,
Christ is leading us;
Comrades, let us be true.
His love constraining us,
Prayer sustaining us,
Faith will carry us through.
His service calling us,
None appalling us,
Deeds of valor we'll do;
For souls are needing us,
Christ is leading us;
Comrades, we will be true.

This weekend

Sorry that I haven't updated much, I've just been dealing with a whole lot of stuff.

Pray for the youth of the GNY division this weekend as we attend youth councils. Pray that the youth not be hesitant in following what the Lord tells them to do. Pray for a spirit of willingness. Pray that lives change.

In His Presence

In the quiet of this hour,
as I kneel before you now,
I believe your promise to be faithful.
I don't always understand
what your perfect will demands,
but I've learned to trust you more
in your presence Lord.

In your presence there is comfort
In your presence there is peace
(in your presence we can find true peace)
when we seek to know your heart,
we will find such blessed assurance
in your holy presence Lord.

There can be such sweet reward
when we wait upon the Lord!
As we take the time,
he gives his perfect wisdom,
to be found in Him alone,
all our deepest secrets known.
We're surrounded by His grace
when we seek His face.

In your presence there is comfort
In your presence there is peace
(in your presence we can find true peace)
when we seek to know your heart,
we will find such blessed assurance
(an ever open door to know our Savior more)
in the presence of our Lord.

As this beautiful song filled the air in Railton Hall this evening it hit me...the word seek. Seek. It's a very simple basic word. The dictionary defines it as this. Seek- attempt to find...attempt or desire to obtain or achieve..search for and find someone or something.
Here is what the bible says about seeking.
Deuteronomy 4:29
But if from there you seek the LORD your God, you will find him if you look for him with all your heart and with all your soul.
1 Chronicles 16:9-11
9 Sing to him, sing praise to him; tell of all his wonderful acts. 10 Glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. 11 Look to the LORD and his strength; seek his face always.
1 Chronicles 22:19
Now devote your heart and soul to seeking the LORD your God. Begin to build the sanctuary of the LORD God, so that you may bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the sacred articles belonging to God into the temple that will be built for the Name of the LORD."
2 Chronicles 7:14
if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Psalm 9:10
Those who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you.
Psalm 24:5-7
5 He will receive blessing from the LORD and vindication from God his Savior. 6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,
who seek your face, O God of Jacob. [a] Selah 7 Lift up your heads, O you gates;be lifted up, you ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Psalm 27:8
My heart says of you, "Seek his face!" Your face, LORD, I will seek.
Psalm 34:10
The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
Psalm 63:1
[ A psalm of David. When he was in the Desert of Judah. ] O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
Psalm 69:6
May those who hope in you not be disgraced because of me, O Lord, the LORD Almighty; may those who seek you not be put to shame because of me, O God of Israel.
Psalm 119:10
I seek you with all my heart; do not let me stray from your commands.
Isaiah 1:17
learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless, plead the case of the widow.
Isaiah 55:6
Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near.
Lamentations 3:25
The LORD is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him;

I could go on and on.....
Seek...Seek the Lord. Seek His face. Seek his truth. Seek his love. Seek his ways.
