What Love Means

[Judy Harder]

FOREVER YOURS LORD


Lord, fill me with Your Spirit,
Your love my soul embrace;
Warm me in Your Son-light,
Dazzle me with Your grace.

Kiss me with Your mercies,
Touch me with Your peace,
Envelop me in Your glory,
Surely my joy will never cease.



Uplift me with Your hope,
Inspire me with Your power;
I live for You and Your will
Every moment of every hour.

Yea, my life I live for You,
You are my Love, my Joy, my Hope,
You are my Everything, my All in all,
All-encompassing in scope.



Rejoice I do to live in Jesus,
Delighted He lives within me;
Life is lovely now, my Lord,
For Your face shines in all I see.

I give myself to You, Beloved,
Take my life in Your hand;
Reveal Your will for me, Master,
I shall live how You planned.



Should You lead me to the valley,
Should You lead me to the shore,
Should You lead me to the desert,
I follow You, for You I adore.

No matter where I go,
Lord, You are ever by my side;
Whether on hills or in valleys,
With me You shall abide.



Your graces are like dew drops,
Soft and gentle and all around;
Your voice is like music,
Sweet symphony the sound.

You uplift me with Your hope,
You inspire me with Your power,
I give myself to Your purpose
Every moment of every hour.



You kiss me with Your mercies,
You touch me with Your peace,
You envelop me in Your glory,
My love for You will never cease.

Lord, I feel Your Spirit in me,
Jesus, Your love I feel embrace;
Your Son-light warms my soul,
I am forever Yours by Your grace.

Jesus, just the Mention of Your name
Flowers grow, the desert blooms again
Like fire in winter cold,
Like pure precious gold
Jesus, just the mention of Your name

Jesus, just the mention of Your name
Flowers grow, the desert blooms again
Like fire in winter cold,
Like pure precious gold
Jesus, just the mention of Your name



Like a lighthouse,
In the midst of a midnight storm
Like a harbour to a ship
That's battered and torn,
Like bread to a starving empty heart,

Like fresh running water,
To a soul that's parched,
Jesus, Just the Mention of Your Name.



Jesus, just the Mention of Your name
Flowers grow, the desert blooms again
Like fire in winter cold,
Like pure precious gold
Jesus, just the mention of Your name

I Don't Need To Understand

Life is like a mighty sea tossed and driven.
Billows rise within the heart of every man
Storms so many times can leave
the heart with questions
You don't need to understand, hold His hand



I don't need to understand
I just need to hold His hand
I don't ever need to ask the reason why



For I know He'll make a way
Through the night and every day
I don't need to understand
I just need to hold His hand.



(instrumental)
I don't need to understand
I just need to hold His hand



When my life down here is through
And He will call me
To my home over all that golden shore.
I'll look back, review the path
That lay before me.
I won't care to understand anymore



I don't need to understand
I just need to hold His hand
I don't ever need to ask the reason why
For I know He'll make a way
Through the night and every day
I don't need to understand
I just need to hold His hand.



I don't need to understand
I don't need to understand
I just need to hold His hand
Hold His hand

He washed my eyes with tears that I might see,
The broken heart I had was good for me;
He tore it all apart and looked inside,
And found it full of fear, so much foolish pride.



He swept away the things that made me blind
And then I saw the clouds were silver lined;
And now I understand 'twas best for me
He washed my eyes with tears that I might see.

(instrumental)



He washed my eyes with tears that I might see
The glory of Himself revealed to me;
I did not know that day that He had wounded hands
Until I saw the marks and the blood
that were spilt on the sand.



I saw the marks of shame and wept Lord and I cried;
He was my substitute for me He died;
And now I'm glad He came so tenderly;
And washed my eyes with tears that I might see.



And washed my eyes with tears that I might see.

Wasted Years

Wasted years, wasted years, oh how foolish
As you walk on in darkness old and fear
Turn around, turn around, God is calling,
He's calling you from a life of wasted years.

As you wandered along on life's pathway
Have you lived without love, a life of fear
Have you searched for life's hidden meaning
Or is your life filled with long, long wasted years

As you wandered womndered along life's pathway
Have you lived without love, a life of fear
Have you searched oh for life's hidden meaning
Or is your life filled with long, long wasted years

Wasted years, wasted years, oh how foolish
As you walk on in darkness and fear
Turn around, turn around, God is calling,
He's calling you from a life of wasted years.

(instrumental)

Wasted years, wasted years, oh how foolish
As you walk on in darkness and fear
Turn around, turn around, God is calling,
He's calling you from a life of wasted years.

Wasted years, wasted years, oh how foolish
As you walk on in darkness and fear
Turn around, turn around, God is calling,
He's calling you from a life of wasted years.

Turn around, turn around, God is calling,
He's calling you from a life of wasted years.

He's calling you from a life of wasted years.

JESUS USE ME

Jesus use me, Oh Lord don't refuse me
Surely there's a work that I can do
even though it's humble
Lord help my will to crumble
Though the cost be great, I'll work for You.



Dear Lord, I'll be a witness,
if you will help my weakness
I know that I'm not worthy Lord of You
By the eyes of faith I see You
Oh that cross of Calvary
Dear Lord, I'll cry Let thy servant be.



Jesus use me, Oh Lord don't refuse me
Surely there's a work that I can do
even though it's humble
Lord help my will to crumble
Though the cost be great, I'll work for You.



(instrumental)
He's the lily of the valley,
the bright and morning star
He's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul
He's the beautiful rose of Sharon
He's all the world to me
But best of all He is my coming King.



Jesus use me, Oh Lord don't refuse me
Surely there's a work that I can do
even though it's humble
Lord help my will to crumble
Though the cost be great, I'll work for You.



Jesus use me, Oh Lord don't refuse me
Surely there's a work that I can do
even though it's humble
Lord help my will to crumble
Though the cost be great, I'll work for You.



Though the cost be great, I'll work for You.
Though the cost be great, I'll work for You.
Though the cost be great, I'll work for You.

Begin where you are written


Looking at Jesus
All He is, All He does
I strive to imitate
His grace, His mercy, His love

So far from His perfection
So far from it I stand
So how can I move forward?
And approach the Holy Land?



The Lord reaches my hand
And gently reminds me
Begin where you are
From right here, you see

He knows we are weak
Only dust after all
He knows our frailty
That we are subject to fall



Yet encourage us He does
To walk in His ways
To disentangle us all
From the world's miry maze

Move forward, He says
And stay by My side
Start from where you are
And in My Love abide



He is the Compass, the Map
And the Eternal Guide
Each of us must choose
To beside Him daily stride

Praise to my Father
The God who rules the earth
Praise to Him who loved me
Well before my birth



Lead us He will
And meet us where we are
He is the Light to our paths
Our shining Morning Star

Let us take the first step
And many, many more
And walk with our Lord
To heavenly treasures in store

"The LORD's Law is written
upon His child's heart
that he may live in victory
and from God never part.
~Reflection by Caroline~

Here I am Lord


Here I am, Lord,
Use me for Your pleasure,
Here I am, Lord,
No limit, no measure.

Fully Yours I am
Now and all eternity;
For Your purposes alone
I pray You use me.



Fill me with Your Spirit,
Guide me in Your way;
May I glorify You
In all I think, do and say.

Yea, here I am, Lord,
My arms stretched wide:
I am Your daughter, Your servant,
Your handmaiden, Your bride.



What is Your desire?
Say the word, and I shall do.
What is Your will?
I do all things for You.

Wherever You lead, Jesus,
Follow You I shall;
Whenever You beckon,
I hasten to Your call.



Here I am, Lord,
Worshipping on my knees;
My King, My God,
I live for You to please.

You give Yourself to me,
To You myself I give;
I let go of myself
That for You alone I live.



I am Your vessel,
Your instrument divine;
Humbled You love me,
Amazed You are mine.

Here I am, Lord,
Guide me in Your way;
I shall glorify You
In all I think, do and say.



Yea, fully Yours I am
Now and all eternity;
My Jesus, how I love You,
I pray You use me.

Here I am, Lord,
No limit, no measure.
Here I am, my Beloved,
Use me for Your pleasure.

The Son's Soft Whisper
(in the Summer Breeze)

The summer breeze dances,
Passing gracefully through the leaves,
Winds of refreshment
For him who believes.

For whence the wind comes
Or whither it goes, we cannot tell
Yet those born of the Spirit
Know Jesus does all things well.



Dancing leaves and dazzling sunshine,
How you bring joy to my heart,
For in you I see the promise:
My Savior and I will never part.

Yea, surely as the wind does blow,
Surely as the sun rises in the sky,
Surely my Jesus does love me,
To Him He keeps me nigh.



Delight I shall in the breeze,
Breathing in the summer fragrance;
Bask I shall in the sunshine,
In its warm rays I shall dance.

How can I not rejoice,
How can my heart not beat with song?
My sweet Jesus loves me so,
And to Him I forever belong.



Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring,
These seasons I live for You;
You poured Your lifeblood for me
Lord, what else can I then but do?

King of all the seasons,
How You bring joy to my heart:
In the summer breeze You softly whisper,
You and I will never part



Whence the wind comes,
Whither it goes, my Lord, I cannot tell
Yet I know deep in my heart
You do all things well.

Refreshment You are, my Jesus,
All fears You do relieve;
I dance then with the summer breeze -
How glorious it is to believe!

WHEN WE GRIEVE


When we see a face no more,
How our hearts do grieve;
When life is no longer,
Lord, this heaviness relieve.

How painful to the heart
To lose a loved one,
Yet we must look up
To see the Face of the Son.

Lord, comfort You give,
Transcendent and true;
Eternal hope You give,
For life You renew.

Let us not in drown in tears,
Nor be heavy in sorrow;
For Life Himself reigns
Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Bring to You our heavy hearts,
And them You will lift high,
Bringing light to the darkness,
Holding us to You nigh.

How remarkable it is,
This glorious gift You give;
You shed Your blood
That we may eternally live.

We promise, Lord, to
Shed not then many tears;
We shall run to Your arms,
For You shall remove our fears.

You kiss us with graces,
You embrace us with love,
You give visions of Heaven,
Of sweet treasures Above.

Hasten we do to You,
For in You we find sweet rest;
With You we are exalted,
Beloved and blessed.

Yea, comfort You give, Jesus,
Transcendent and true;
Did not our very own lives
You lovingly renew?

Though painful it is
To lose a loved one,
Warm comfort we find
In light of You, the Son.

Jesus, Life and Light,
When our hearts do grieve,
You lavish us with love,
All our sorrows You relieve.
