theme song

We've had quite a number of 'theme' songs in this house -- some of them being, 'Your Christ, My hope' being at the top, others like - 'Spring up O well', 'the Son of God is in my spirit', Chih likes 'Lord You are Beloved' esp in the morning. Oh, don't forget 'Grace, grace' - the cowboy lullaby - and 'Even as He is' (the ones we learned from the saints from Mississippi).

But today, Chih asked me to play piano and she played guitar to our most current theme song and one I feel describes our life in Flat 11 Henley Prior perfectly. We're not always up to standard, but we're getting a taste of the kind of life described in this song. It was written at a College Training in 2006, and I'm realizing that so much of the ministry I've heard or read in the past is becoming real and even if we hear it all the time, as long as it's our experience, it's so fresh, new, and supplying. So here it is:

And day by day
And house to house
They continued, steadfastly
In one accord
Praising God
And having grace
And the Lord added together day by day.

1. Lord, I pray that I may receive my sight
And see Your deepest desire,
Make me so living and vital and active
Produce me as an overcomer.
Lord, lift up my eyes to see the vast dimensions
And gain the Christ as my experience.

2. Repent and confess that is my start
I say "Amen." to Your shining light,
Lord, I contact You directly
By coming to You repeatedly
I desire, to love, gain, pursue You,
Confession and repentance make me vital.

3. Lord, I am yearning for those, whose hearts
Are desperate and burning for You alone.
Choose my companions, I stand with Your will -
Draw me and we will run after You.
Lord, grant us to stand together in one spirit
And then grant us to strive with one soul.
