Song #1

Fill my spirit up,
Fill my spirit up,
Till it overflows right out of my innermost being! (2x)
 
Fill me today
Fill me I pray
Oh Lord Jesus, flow as the living water!
Oh Lord Jesus, gush up as the living spring!
Right out of my innermost being!
 
Break through every part
Break through every part
Of my mind, emotion, will, and heart! (2x)
 
Break through today
Break through I pray
Oh Lord Jesus, flow as the living water!
Oh Lord Jesus, gush up as the living spring!
Right out of my innermost being
 
Flow that river out
Flow that river out
Whether I might call, pray, sing, or shout! (2x)
 
Flow out today
Flow out I pray
Oh Lord Jesus, flow as the living water
Oh Lord Jesus, gush up as the living spring
Right out of my innermost being

Song #2

(Phil. 3:7-9)
What things were gains to me,
These I now count as loss.
Jesus has set me free
From what I was!
All of the things I had;
Everything, good or bad,
I count as refuse
That I may gain Christ!
 
  I won’t give up!
  I will keep running until
  I have attained
  The goal of my calling!
  I must press on!
  I must pursue until
  I lay hold of Him
  Who laid hold of me!
 
Forget the things behind!
Stretch for the things before!
Press onward with this mind:
Always want more!
Seeking in Him to grow,
Increasingly to know
Him that I daily might
Be found in Christ.

Song #3

The Lord is my Shepherd forever,
  He maketh me down to lie,
He leads me beside the still waters
  O how He does satisfy!
 
    Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
    All the days, all the days of my life;
    Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
    All the days, all the days of my life.
    And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever,
    And I shall feast at the table spread for me;
    Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
    All the days, all the days of my life.

My Shepherd Himself is my pasture,
  My Shepherd, the waters of rest;
I eat of His riches in spirit,
  I drink, and O how I am blest!

My Shepherd my soul is restoring,
  My will, and emotion, and mind;
And though through the valley I’m walking,
  O what a Companion I find!

A table prepared by my Shepherd
  I feast on and Satan destroy;
My head is anointed with oil,
  My cup runneth over with joy!

And now in His house I am dwelling
  Enjoying the goodness of God;
My pleasure is far beyond telling,
  My pleasure is Jesus my Lord!

Song #4

(Psalm 51:9-11)
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a right spirit within me.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
And renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from Thy presence;
Take not Thy holy Spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation;
And renew a right spirit within me.

Song #5

(Psalm 139:1-2, 23-24)
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
Try me and know my thoughts;
And see if there be any wicked way in me;
Lead me in the way, lead me in the way,
Lead me in the way everlasting.
 
You have searched me;
You have known me;
My downsitting, my uprising;
You understand my thoughts from afar;
You know all my ways,
You know all my ways.
(Two parts can be sung simultaneously)

Song #6

(2 Cor. 3:17)
Now the Lord is the Spirit—that’s how
He can get inside of you right now.
It’s so easy to be filled with Him.
He’s made it really simple.
One, two, three—
That’s how easy it can be.
 
O Lord! Amen!
That’s the way to let Him in.
Hallelujah! I love to hear it.
He who is joined to the Lord is one spirit.
 
Now the Lord is the living air;
You can breathe Him in anywhere—
Anytime of day, whenever you please.
He’s made it really easy.
O Lord! Amen!
Let’s sing it again.
 
Now the Lord lives inside of me.
And He’s filling me constantly.
Yes, He’s filling up every gap.
He makes me really happy.
I’m so happy!
Hallelujah! Taste and see!

Song #7

Praise the Lord, God sent His Son,
Hallelujah!
And salvation’s work was done,
Glory to God!
God Himself became a man,
So that we might live in Him.
 
That’s why I call on Him,
I give my all to Him.
 
For us He was crucified,
Hallelujah!
For the many, one Man died,
Glory to God!
One grain fell into the earth,
Many grains to bring to birth.
 
He arose in victory,
Hallelujah!
From the grave, triumphantly,
Glory to God!
Now in resurrection He
As the Spirit lives in me.
 
Call on Him from deep within,
Hallelujah!
Just by calling, He comes in,
Glory to God!
Once you call upon His name,
Nevermore you’ll be the same.
 
We all must call on Him,
We give our all to Him.

Song #8

I give my heart to Thee,
  O Jesus most desired;
And heart for heart the gift shall be,
  For Thou my heart hast fired.
Thou hearts alone wouldst move,
  Thou only hearts dost love;
I would love Thee as Thou lov’st me,
  O Jesus most desired.
 
What off’ring can I make,
  Dear Lord, to love like Thine;
That Thou, the Word, didst stoop to take
  A human form like mine?
“Give Me thy heart, my son”:
  Lord, Thou my heart hast won;
I would love Thee as Thou lov’st me,
  O Jesus most desired.
 
Thy heart is opened wide,
  Its offered love most free,
That heart to heart I may abide,
  And hide myself in Thee.
Ah, how Thy love doth burn,
  Till I that love return!
I would love Thee as Thou lov’st me,
  O Jesus most desired.
 
Here finds my heart its rest,
  Repose that knows no shock,
The strength of love that keeps it blest
  In Thee, the riven Rock.
My heart, as girt around,
  Her citadel hath found;
I would love Thee as Thou lov’st me,
  O Jesus most desired.

Song # 9

(1 Peter 2:3)
Just taste and see that the Lord is good;
Just taste and see that the Lord is good.
He’s good for You, as He is for me;
So whatever you do, just taste and see.
 
Just call O Lord—He’ll change your life;
Just call O Lord He’ll change your life.
Amazing grace He will afford;
If in every place You call O Lord.
 
You’ll feel real love coming into your heart;
You’ll feel real love coming into your heart.
You’ll sense a flow from God above;
And You will know you’ve found real love.
 
So praise the Lord for His life in you;
Yes, praise the Lord for His life in you.
Something of Christ He has outpoured
Into your life; so praise the Lord!

Song #10

(John 6:51)
I am the living bread,
Which came down out of heaven;
If anyone, if anyone eats of this bread
He shall live forever;
 
And the bread (and the bread)
Which I will (which I)
Will give is my flesh,
Given for (given for)
For the life (for the)
Life of the world.
 
I am the living bread,
Which came down out of heaven;
If anyone, if anyone eats of this bread
He shall live forever.

Song #11

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?

Song #12

I’m so happy here,
With my Father dear,
Once lost, now I’m near again!
(It was) First His smiling face,
Then His warm embrace,
I’m surprised by grace again!
 
I was lost, now I’m found again!
I was dead, but now I live!
Come rejoice with us, and be merry then.
Back in my Father’s house again!
 
Robe, ring, sandals on
And my hunger’s gone!
Back where I belong, again!
(Because He) Clothed me thoroughly,
(And then He) Reinstated me!
(Now I’m) Back in the family again!

Song #13

(Heb. 4:15-16)
For we do not have a High Priest who cannot
Be touched with the feeling of our weaknesses,
But One who has been tempted in all respects like us,
Yet without sin, yet without sin.
               
Let us therefore come forward
With boldness to the throne of grace
That we may receive mercy and find grace
For timely help.

Song #14

Draw me, dear Lord.
Draw me today.
From everything else, dear Lord,
Draw me away.
 
O Lord, this whole world
Seems to weigh me down.
All the cares, the strife, the sin,
Within me and all around.
 
But, Lord, I want to set my heart,
And, Lord, I want to stay with You.
‘Cause only when You’re near to me
Is everything okay.
 
And though everything may fall apart
Or everything go my way,
It doesn’t really matter, Lord,
As long as I gain You today.

Song #15

I love God because He loved me long before the world began.
I love God because He knew my destiny.
I love God because He made me part of His eternal plan.
I love God because He first loved me.
 
   I love Him for all the things He’s done for me.
   I love Him for all that He is, all that He is to me.
   But, most of all, I love Him as the Spirit
   Who deep within my spirit lives.
 
I love God because He came in time to be the Son of Man.
I love God because He gave Himself for me.
I love God because He conquered death that I might live in Him.
I love God because He first loved me.
 
I love God because He’s processed now to be my life within.
I love God because He is transforming me.
I love God because He’s building up the New Jerusalem.
I love God because He still loves me.

Song #16

     I’m walking down the road
     That leads to glory.
     I’m pressing toward the mark
     By enjoying God!
     I don’t know so much,
     Just to love Him.
     I’m walking down the road,
     Glory, here I come.
 
With the brothers and the sisters,
We enjoy Him day by day.
It’s so simple and easy,
Our worries flee away.
Now we’re growing together,
As one big family,
Abiding in the joy of the Lord.
 
We enjoy You, Lord Jesus,
In our experience.
We’re getting to know You—
It’s making us leap and dance.
Just eating and drinking,
It’s what we do the best,
Delighting in the love of the Lord.
 
We’re walking, not running,
Cause we’re in the pasture land.
Our Shepherd is nearby,
We’re trusting in His hand.
He’s everything to us,
He’s all we ever need,
Resting in the peace of the Lord.

Song #17

(Jeremiah 17:8)
I am a tree, with roots by 
The river of living water,
Trials still may come
But they end in victory;
And even in the wilderness
When there’s no hope at all,
I have roots by the river of the Lord.
When the scorching sun arrives,
My leaves won’t wither and die,
I have roots by the river of the Lord.

Song #18

(Isaiah 40:31)
Those who wait, wait on Jehovah
Will renew their strength 
They will mount up with wings like eagles
They will run and will not faint; 
They will walk and will not become weary 

To wait on the Lord is to stop ourselves 
Our living, our doing, our activity
And receive God in Christ as our life, 
Our person, and our replacement 
 
This is to be a transformed person 
This is the power of His resurrection 
We walk on the earth but we soar in the heavens 
Far above any frustration 
Isaiah 40:31

Song #19

I’ve got a river of life flowing within me;
It makes the lame to walk and the blind to see.
It opens prison doors, sets the captives free.
I’ve got a river of life flowing within me.
 
    Spring up, O well, within my spirit!
    Rise up and tell, so all can hear it!
    Spring up, O well, so I experience
    That life abundantly.

I’ve got a river of life flowing within me;
It started gushing up when God set me free.
That I keep the flow is my only plea.
I’ve got a river of life springing within me.

Once I call His name there’s a flow within;
It turns me from my day, makes Him Lord again.
As my spirit burns, Satan cannot win.
Calling, “Oh Lord Jesus,” keeps the flow within.

Song #20

Nearer each day to me,
Dearer each day to me,
This Person inside me is
Becoming reality.
Saving me, loving me,
Faith and hope giving me.
You’re all the world to me Jesus, my Lord.

Even when faith is small,
When there’s no hope at all,
I hear Him say to me,
Trust in Me and you’ll see,
That I’ll supply all your needs,
If only you will believe.
All anxious doubts will cease,
While trusting in Me.

Song #21

It’s no longer I that liveth,
But Christ that liveth in me.
It’s no longer I that liveth,
But Christ that liveth in me.
He lives, He lives,
Jesus is alive in me!
It’s no longer I that liveth,
But Christ that liveth in me.

Song #22

From the morning to the evening, 
His faithfulness I see;
His mercy reaching sinners, 
reaching even me;
And I know, now I know.
Brighter than the brightest sunlight, 
all doubts and fears must cease;
Sweeter than the sweetest delight, 
His living Word in me;
And I know, now I know.
 
   That God is there for me tomorrow,
   As He is for me today;
   That He’ll take my cares and sorrow,
   And He’ll wipe them all away;
   There’s no crisis that He can’t bear,
   There’s no storm He can’t abate;
   He’s my God, He’s my God.

Day by day His grace grows dearer; 
His love has conquered me,
Never leaving, never ceasing, 
His Spirit constantly
Flooding me, rich and free;
Higher than the highest heaven, 
He lifts me up to see
New Jerusalem descending, 
His Bride, His love to be
Eternally, it shall be.

Song #23

Lord, You love me so immensely;
I would love You more intensely.
Every day and every moment,
O Lord, capture me.
Let my goal and my life’s theme be,
Lord, to love You most supremely;
With all my heart, Lord Jesus,
Keep me faithful unto Thee.
 
    Draw me, Lord, each day.
    Take my veils away.
    With a pure heart will I see You;
    Lord I just love You.
    Nothing else I seek;
    No one else for me.
    I would fully and absolutely
    Give my whole being unto Thee.

Song #24

(John 4:14)
But whoever drinks of the water
That I will give him
Shall by no means thirst forever;
But the water that I will give him
Will become in him
A fountain of water
Springing up into eternal life;
Will become in him
A fountain of water
Springing up into eternal life,
Eternal life.

Song #25

(Jeremiah 15:16)
Your words were found, 
And I ate them. 
And Your words became, 
Became to me, 
The gladness and joy 
Of my heart, 
Became the gladness and joy 
Of my heart.  

I will muse upon your precepts, 
And regard Your ways, 
I will turn the Bible into 
Both my prayer and praise. 
I will sing it in the morning,
And I’ll pray it all day long, 
Until Jehovah has become 
My strength and song.

Song #26

When I first believed, and His life I received,
The seed was sown into me.
Now this seed must grow, and this zoe life flow
As on to maturity.

     Am I a person of life?
     Do I experience life?
     Does my living bear the issues of life?
     Good trees bear good fruit;
     Healthy plant, healthy root;
     Oh Lord! The ground in my heart!

We know that life’s seed is growing indeed
When fruits of life are expressed
Such as virtues of joy, peace, faithfulness, love.
Does my daily life pass the test?

     Am I a person of life?
     Do I experience life?
     Does my living bear the issues of life?
     Good trees bear good fruit;
     Healthy plant, healthy root;
     Oh Lord! The ground in my heart!

When these virtues show others surely will know
The beauty of life will shine,
And the gospel word of life will be heard
Bringing many to know life divine!

     Am I a person of life?
     Do I experience life?
     Does my living bear the issues of life?
     Good trees bear good fruit;
     Healthy plant, healthy root;
     Oh Lord! The ground in my heart!

Lord grant me today, a new start in this way.
A person of life I would be—
Just expressing You in all that I do.
Oh may this life flow out of me!

     Am I a person of life?
     Do I experience life?
     Does my living bear the issues of life?
     Good trees bear good fruit;
     Healthy plant, healthy root;
     Oh Lord! The ground in my heart!

Song #27

Manna from heaven came down.
Miraculous mystery from God.
Jesus said, “I am this bread…
Given for the life of the world.”
Eat Him.
He is the living bread.
Gain Him.
Oh what a supply!
Praise Him!
Only He satisfies.
Jesus!
The all-inclusive Christ.

Christ is the spiritual rock,
Smitten and cleft by our God.
Water of life flowed forth.
Now quenching all of our thirst.
Drink Him.
He is the fount of life.
Taste Him.
Oh sweet well of life.
Praise Him!
Never you’ll thirst again.
Jesus!
The all-inclusive Christ.

On the cross where He was nailed,
Both blood and water flowed out.
Redemption is fully paid.
Why not receive and enjoy.
Take Him.
Our Savior and our King.
Give Him,
The first place in us.
Praise Him!
One sacrifice for all.
Jesus!
The all-inclusive Christ.

He is the Spirit today.
Ready to make home in us.
Calling on Him is the way.
All of His riches to gain.
Breathe Him.
He’s the pneumatic One.
Touch Him.
Oh He is so near.
Praise Him!
Life-giving Spirit.
Jesus!
The all-inclusive Christ.

Song #28

(Romans 8:38-39)
For I’m persuaded to believe
Nothing can separate us
From the wonderful love of God;
For the Lord who has called us
According to His purpose works
All things together for good;
Neither height, nor depth,
Nor principalities,
Things present, nor things to come,
Though the devil hates us,
He can never separate us
From the wonderful love of God.

Song #29

Just as I am, without one plea,
But that Thy blood was shed for me,
And that Thou bid’st me come to Thee,
O Lamb of God, I come! I come!

Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot;
To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

Just as I am, though tossed about
With many a conflict, many a doubt;
Fightings within, and fears without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
Sight, riches, healing of the mind;
Yes, all I need, in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

Just as I am, Thou wilt receive
Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
Because Thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

Just as I am, Thy love unknown
Has broken every barrier down;
Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!

Song #30

https://www.hymnal.net/en/hymn/h/308
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine;
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

     This is my story, this is my song,
     Praising my Savior all the day long.
     This is my story, this is my song,
     Praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

     This is my story, this is my song,
     Praising my Savior all the day long.
     This is my story, this is my song,
     Praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Savior am happy and blest;
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

     This is my story, this is my song,
     Praising my Savior all the day long.
     This is my story, this is my song,
     Praising my Savior all the day long.
