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?

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.

I Love my Master!

I love my Master, and I will not go out free.
For He has died for me, the highest price He has paid for me.
I love my Master, I will serve Him willingly. 
Remaining near, and close to Thee this my plee.

Chorus: 
I love You Master, from You I will never leave.
You are my liberty, and my joy complete.
I love my Master, and I will not go out free.
To Him I give my all, my life eternally! 

Oh Jesus, Master, to the door post now bring me.
Open my ears to head, Your voice and all You say to me.
Oh Jesus, Master, I will obey willingly.
To love and serve Him all my life, this my plee!

Message 3. The Living Water out of the Smitten Rock.
Focus: We drink Christ as the living water by calling and praying, and we flow out Christ through our speaking to the Lord and by the Lord for the building up of the churches God's dwelling place. 

I was really impressed by this point of speaking. 

If we are in our spirit the Spirit will guide our speaking. So we need to eat and drink the Lord constantly moment by moment for His spiritual nourishment. So that when you find yourself in a situation to speak to someone, the Lord will give you the right words to speak. In my experience, this is the only way. Because within the self there is always hesitation, doubt and fear. But within the spirit, the Spirit gives LIFE! "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing; the words which I have spoken to you are spirit and are life" John 6:63

Calling, Oh, Lord Jesus! 
How it makes our spirit strong.
We can really touch Him, 
And our gloom is turned to song! 
Don't listen to Satan with all his distractions. 
Turn to your spirit, 
Spring into action! 
Calling, Oh, Lord Jesus!
You'll enjoy Him all day long!
