Kissed by the Lord

With the kisses of Your mouth,
Have You kissed me, Lord.
From Your kisses flows a fountain,
From a depth unknown.
Gently tempered by Your touching
Of my deepest chords,
My heart's renewed with gladness,
And my love o'erflows.
Let me kiss You, drink You deeper,
Fully satisfy
All the longings deep within me,
For Your presence nigh,
And a deeper, sweeter union,
Of Your life with mine
That our natures fully mingled,
Would our hearts entwine.
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.
May I love You, always love You,
And respond to You.

Jesus Lord, You're our first love!

Jesus Lord, You're our first love;
You're the One we love the best.
When our heart is loving You,
How we're filled with Your sweet rest!

Lord, we love You for Yourself,
Not for what You give or do.
Nothing else could e'er compare
With the joy of loving You.

Lord, we've been drawn off by many things;
Now we turn our heart back—how it sings!
We repent of loving other things—
Jesus, Lord, You're our first love.

Never more could we desire
Anything that's less than You,
And to this we would aspire—
Simply to be filled with You.

Jesus Lord, You're our first love;
You're the One we love the best.
When our heart is loving You,
How we're filled with Your sweet rest!

Someone

Is there someone who's a friend
That I can open to?
A someone who understands
All that I'm going through?
A someone when there's no one
I can always come to?
There is no someone like this One.
There is a someone;
Someone you can open to.
There is a someone;
Someone who will take you through.
There is a someone when there is no one;
There is a someone, a wonderful One.
Is there someone who can care
Through all my hardest times?
A someone always there
Though it may rain or shine?
A someone I can lean on
When the stormy times come?
There is no someone like this One.
There is a someone;
Someone in my hardest times.
There is a someone,
Always there through rain or shine.
There is a someone
When there is no one;
There is a someone, a special One.
Is there someone who will take
Take me just as I am?
A someone who'll not forsake
One I can trust to the end?
A someone who knows me
Yet he still wants me?
There is no someone like this One.
There is a someone
Who will take you as you are.
There is a someone;
He will reach you near or far.
There is a someone;
He's the most lovely One.
Just take this someone, the loveliest One.
Is there someone who can reach
Down to the depths of my being?
A someone who can fix
All of my broken heart strings?
A someone who can love me
When there's no love in me?
There is no someone like this One.
There is a someone
Who can touch your inmost being.
There is a someone;
He can make your heart to sing.
There is a someone,
Love is this precious One.
Just love this someone, the wonderful One.
Christ is this someone
Who can touch your inmost being.
Christ is this someone—
He can make your heart to sing.
Christ is this someone.
Christ is this precious One.
Just love this someone, the wonderful One.

IT WAS FOR HER (HIS BRIDE)

Don't you want to know your God?
What's hidden in His heart for you?
How much He longs for you to come
And open up—
To let Him in to every part
Let Him reveal what's on His heart
What was the joy set before Him?

It was for her the church—His bride
It was for her, willingly He died
She is the joy deep in His heart
His masterpiece—
His counterpart.

The Lord chose you to be a part
Of His great plan, His work of art.
What wonder! What a privilege!
To satisfy
His yearning to share all He is—
Divine, unsearchable riches!
What wisdom, multifarious expressed?

As we enjoy and enter in
To all He is then we'll begin
To understand the feeling in
His heart toward us.
What love that motivated Him!
To come to us, despite our sin
Why did He go and sell all that He had?

Lord grant me today's supply of Grace!

Lord, grant me today's supply of grace;
May Your divine life grow apace;
Little by little, day by day, to grow
More and more, into You.
Day by day, bit by bit, life will grow as is fit,
Increasing gradually until,
However imperceptibly,
Your life matures within me.
I would be desperately, constantly, patiently,
Drawing each breath of life from You, Lord;
Knowing that every day while I breathe,
Your life will permeate me.
Every day, may I rest, knowing that each bequest,
Matches my daily need exactly;
Jesus Christ intercedes for me,
A member of His body.
Lord, grant me a heavenly, corporate view;
That all of my growth and prayers to You,
Little by little, day by day,
Would cause building up into You.
We would be corporately, growing up steadily
Till we reach the stature of Your fullness;
Transforming and conforming us, Your
Manifested people.
Lord, grant me today's supply of grace;
May Your divine life grow apace;
Little by little, day by day, to grow
More and more, into You.
Lord, grant me a heavenly, corporate view;
That all of my growth and prayers to You,
Little by little, day by day,
Would cause building up into the New Jerusalem.

THE TRIUNE GOD SPREADING WITHIN MAN

God’s economy is to dispense Himself into our spirit as His abode and to take His residence in our spirit as a base to spread Himself through our whole being. Our spirit is God’s home, His dwelling place, His habitation, the very place from which He spreads Himself through our whole being (Eph. 2:22). By spreading Himself within us, He saturates every part of our being with Himself. First, He thoroughly mingles Himself with our spirit, then with our soul, and finally with our body. He comes into our spirit to begin the mingling by regenerating our spirit. Regeneration is the mingling of God Himself with our spirit. After our regeneration, if we cooperate with Him, offering ourselves to Him and giving Him the opportunity, He will spread Himself from our spirit into our soul to renew all the parts of our soul. This is His transforming work (Rom. 12:2; 2 Cor. 3:18). Through transformation the very essence of the Triune God is mingled with our soul, our very self. When our soul is transformed into the image of the Lord, our thoughts, our desires, and our decisions will always express the Lord.

God’s first step, therefore, is to regenerate our spirit; His second step is to transform our soul; and finally, His last step is to transfigure, or change, our body at the second coming of the Lord (Phil. 3:21; 1 Cor. 15:51-53). The Lord will then permeate our body, and His glory will saturate our whole being. This transfiguration is the ultimate consummation of His mingling with our being to the uttermost. At that time God’s economy of dispensing Himself into us will be fully accomplished. We need to remember these three steps by which God mingles Himself with us in every way. The following hymn expresses the final consummation.

Christ is the hope of glory, my very life is He,

He has regenerated and saturated me;

He comes to change my body by His subduing might

Like to His glorious body in glory bright!

He comes, He comes, Christ comes to glorify me!

My body He’ll transfigure, like His own it then will be.

He comes, He comes, redemption to apply!

As Hope of glory He will come, His saints to glorify.

Christ is the hope of glory, He is God’s mystery;

He shares with me God’s fulness and brings God into me.

He comes to make me blended with God in every way,

That I may share His glory with Him for aye.

Christ is the hope of glory, redemption full is He:

Redemption to my body, from death to set it free,

He comes to make my body a glorious one to be

And swallow death forever in victory.

Christ is the hope of glory, He is my history:

His life is my experience, for He is one with me;

He comes to bring me into His glorious liberty,

That one with Him completely I’ll ever be.

Hymn #1225

Lord, to know Thee as the Body,
Is my desperate need today,
Oh, to see Thee in Thy members,
'Tis for this I long and pray.
No more just to know Thy headship
In an individual way,
But to see Thee incarnated,
As the Body-Christ, I pray.
Through the years, Thy saints have sought Thee,
Longing for reality;
Gazing upward, searching inward,
Thirsting for the sight of Thee.
Now reveal that Christ in heaven,
Is the Body manifest;
And the Christ who dwells within us
As the Body is expressed.
Prone to be misled, I know it,
By my lofty thoughts of Thee,
Easy 'tis for self to seek Thee,
Yet not touch reality,
Oh, how much I need to find Thee,
In Thy members here below.
God eternal dwells among us,
Manifest in flesh to know.
Limit, Lord, my independence,
Let me to Thy Body turn;
Not just seeking light from heaven,
But the church's sense to learn.
May we be the stones for building
Not the formless, useless clay,
Gain in us Thy heart's desire
Corporately Thyself display.

Lord I love You, with all my Heart

I love you Lord, with all my heart! 
Not with just a part, but with all of my heart!
I love you Lord, with all my heart! 
The Lord is making home in all my heart!

The Lord is making home in my heart!
The Lord is making home in my heart!
Lord I let You in, so You can begin to make, 
Your home in my heart! 

Never did I dream before

Never did I dream before,
Such a place could e'er be found,
Where the tears of sorrow cease,
Songs of endless joy abound.
One who seldom ever sang,
Now delights his voice to raise;
Singing hymns with all the saints,
Echoing the ceaseless praise.
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."
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.
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.

Fill all my hunger quench all my thirst! Hymn 811

I have probably posted this before, sorry for the repeat, but I REALLY love and enjoy this hymn

1 My heart is hungry, my spirit doth thirst;
  I come to Thee, Lord, to seek Thy supply;
  All that I need is none other but Thee,
  Thou canst my hunger and thirst satisfy.
Chorus  
  Feed me, Lord Jesus, give me to drink,
  Fill all my hunger, quench all my thirst;
  Flood me with joy, be the strength of my life,
  Fill all my hunger, quench all my thirst.
2 Thou art the food and the water of life,
  Thou canst revive me, my spirit upbear;
  I long to eat and to drink here of Thee,
  Thyself enjoy through my reading and prayer.
3 Thou art the Word with God’s fulness in Thee,
  Thou too the Spirit that GHod my life be;
  Thee in the Word I enjoy as my food,
  Thou as the Spirit art water to me.
4 Thou from the heavens as food camest down,
  Thou to be drink hast been smitten for me;
  Thou as the food, my exhaustless supply,
  Thou as the water, a stream unto me.
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.

Deep Within I know You're My Only Love

Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art,
Thou hast fully captured my heart;
There is none in heav'n nor on earth like Thee,
With Thy beauty none can compete.
When Thy voice first came to my ear,
Whisp'ring in my heart words most dear,
All past loves and aims lost their charm for me,
All my boasts so vain now appear.
Throughout all the world, who compares with Thee?
Who so full of worth, who so fair and sweet?
Only Thou art worthy my love to win,
O Lord Jesus, how I love Thee!

No more I who live, no more self-deceived,
No more in the self's world indulged to be,
Deep within I know You're my only love,
My best love is none else but Thee!
Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art,
Rid all rocks that hide in my heart;
Gladly I Thy bondslave of love would be,
One heart, one will ever with Thee
Though my heart is oft not subdued,
Still Thy way alone it would choose;
All I yearn for is what Thy heart desires,
In Thy love alone peace I find.
Jesus Lord, my best love Thou art,
Ne'er again from Thee I'd depart;
Never hide Thy dear, smiling face from me.
To none else I'd cling, Lord, but Thee.
To Thee, Lord, my all I outpour,
How Thy love my heart deeply fills,
My eternal portion, most precious Lord,
None but Thee I want evermore.

Song for my day "Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus"

Through everything that I have been going through lately, good or bad. Possitive or negative. The Lord has been with me through it all! I have been really enjoying these words today, singing it over and over again, to the Lord! Enjoy!

Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,
  Thou hast won each love from me;
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!
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.
Dear Lord Jesus, precious Jesus,
  How can I still 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.
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.
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.
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.
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!

The Lord is the ONLY thing I want fully and completely!

Loving You, Lord's all I'm living for;
Loving You, Lord, to the uttermost.
Lord, forgive me if I've left my first love,
That's the bridal love to You.
You are more than any one I love.
You are more than anything I have,
Even my dear self; nothing can compare
To my beloved Bridegroom.
I give You the first place in all things by faith.
Let nothing take Your place in all my heart.
Infuse me with Yourself abundantly
'Til we meet, dear Lord.
I'll love You with the best love.
You've the right to take all that I love,
But replace it with Yourself much more.
You are what I need, give Yourself to me,
Do not give all that I want.
Everything is sure to pass away,
Everyone is going their own way.
But I still have You and You have me too,
Loving one another's sweet.
I treasure my time alone with You,
Just to gain the best love You long for.
My dearest Jesus, draw me with Yourself
Into Your chambers right now.
Be the first in all my work and life,
Be the first in all my service too.
In relationships, You must be the first; 
Have preeminence in me.

He giveth more Grace when the burdens grow greater

He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase,
To added affliction He addeth His mercy,
To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.
His love has no limit, His grace has no measure,
His power no boundary known unto men,
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth and giveth and giveth again.
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.

Lord, I love you more today.

So when I was a kid growing up... My parents always put on Toby Pfeiffer in the car to listen to. Or even when we were doing dishes as kids, my little sister Hannah and I would play him and sing along while washing dishes or doing all our other chores. So I have fond memories of listening to him when I was growin up. His singing and ability to explain the bible stories and verses was AWESOME and ground into my being from a very young age. I thank the Lord now for preserving me and filling me up with Himself so much throughout my life! I have always been a music lover, and Toby Pfeiffer is one of my most favorite singers in this huge world that we have found ourselves living in. Recently, while spending time with my sister Hannah for the first time in a year :( we had a blessed week together at my parents in Cali, right after new years. She was so kind and let me have copies of ALL the Toby Pfeiffer songs she has. Little did I remember there are around 4 albums of his! I am now happy to annouce I have everyone on my iPhone and can listen to him giving himself to our Lord daily! And now I can participate and sing along with Toby P. again :D! I've been listening to him all day at work, and I gotta say I'm having a GREAT day :)! So supplied! So... Here is one of the songs being enjoyed by me! Just the lyrics. Sorry. But you can read and enjoy :)


Lord, I love You more today,
than any other.
Lord, I love You more right now, 
than ever before.
Lord, You are so dear.
 How could my heart desire, 
anything that's less than You?
Lord, You are the One I must choose.
Lord, I love You!
Lord, I love You!

Lord, I need You more today, 
than any other!
Lord, I need You more right now, 
than ever before!
Lord, You are so near, 
be everything to me;
I couldn't live a day without You! 
I'm totally dependent on You!  
Lord, I need You!
Lord, I need You!

Lord, I love You! 
Lord, I love You!
I'll never let You go,
won't let You go.
Lord, I love You,
 I want You to know
Lord, I love You, so!
(repeat last line four times)

O Jesus Christ, grow Thou in me

  
O Jesus Christ, grow Thou in me,
  And all things else recede;
My heart be daily nearer Thee,
  From sin be daily freed.
Each day let Thy supporting might
  My weakness still embrace;
My darkness vanish in Thy light,
    Thy life my death efface.
In Thy bright beams which on me fall,
  Fade every evil thought;
That I am nothing, Thou art all,
  I would be daily taught.
More of Thy glory let me see,
  Thou Holy, Wise, and True;
I would Thy living image be,
  In joy and sorrow too.
Fill me with gladness from above,
  Hold me by strength divine;
Lord, let the glow of Thy great love
  Through all my being shine.
Make this poor self grow less and less,
  Be Thou my life and aim;
Oh, make me daily through Thy grace
  More meet to bear Thy name.

I love the church life

Some, these days, would tell us that our Jesus is not food,
That we only need to know about Him and do good,
But we're glad to tell you brothers, it's just not that way—
Jesus is the bread of life; we eat Him every day.
We love the church life, eating,
drinking, breathing Jesus.
We love the church life, taking
in God's Word.
We love to hear those "O Lord,
Amen, Hallelujahs!"
We love the church life, feasting
with the Lord.
When He fills our inward parts, we're never quite the same,
So much richness we can taste by calling on His name.
"Services" but once a week for us will never do.
Every day we need the fellowship to take us through.
If these latter days and situations of the world
Make you feel that round a vicious circle you are swirled,
Then please listen closely to the things we have to say;
It may be that you will find with us a better way.

Hymn 841

Hymn 841  

SUBJECT: THE CHURCH-HER BUILDING
METER: 6.5.6.5.D.
AUTHOR: Witness Lee
COMPOSER: Frances R. Havergal

1   Thou art all my life, Lord,
      In me Thou dost live;
    With Thee all God’s fulness
      Thou to me dost give.
    By Thy holy nature
      I am sanctified,
    By Thy resurrection,
      Vict’ry is supplied.
2   Now Thy flowing life, Lord,
      Doth enlighten me,
    Bringing in the spirit
      Fellowship with Thee;
    All my need supplying,
      Making Thy demand,
    Leading me to cleansing
      And in Thee to stand.
3   Thy anointing Spirit
      Me shall permeate,
    All my soul and spirit
      Thou wouldst saturate;
    Every part transforming
      Till conformed to Thee,
    Till Thy life shall bring me
      To maturity.
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.

Hymn 199

1 Thou art the Rock everlasting,
    Spiritual Rock cleft for me;
  Drinking of Thee as the Spirit,
    Thus I become one with Thee.
  Thou art the Rock never shaken,
    ’Tis on this Rock we are built;
  Joined unto Thee thru redemption,
    Nothing can shake us thru guilt.
Chorus  
    Lord, how we treasure Thy value,
      All that Thou art is for us;
    While here in loving remembrance
      We share Thy wealth glorious.
2 Thou art the Stone tried by many,
    Precious to God, dear to us,
  Thou art so sure and trustworthy,
    Thy strength is so marvelous.
  Thou art the Stone that is living,
    Chosen of God, made our own;
  So energetic and pow’rful,
    With endless life to us known.
3 Thou art the Stone of Foundation
    Laid by our God, safe and sure;
  It is by this sure foundation
    Safety fore’er we secure.
  To us no other foundation
    Of any kind man can lay;
  Thou art the only foundation
    Which we have now and for aye.
4 Lord, for God’s spiritual building,
    Thou art the Chief Cornerstone;
  Both of the Jews and the Gentiles
    By Thee are built into one.
  Lord, Thou art also the Topstone,
    Brought forth in measureless grace;
  Thou art our cover and glory,
    Moving our hearts in Thy praise.
