In Little Spaces
“I am content to fill a little space if God be glorified.”
~ Susannah Wesley
Depths of Love, Heights of Joy
“There are depths of love
That I cannot know
Til I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy
That I may not reach
Til I rest in peace with Thee.
Draw me nearer, nearer,
Nearer blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer,
Nearer blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.”
Hymn- “I Am Thine, O Lord” – Fanny J. Crosby/ W.H. Doane
Pure Delight
“O the pure delight of a single hour, that before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee my God,
I commune as friend with Friend!”
Hymn- “I Am Thine, O Lord” – by Fanny J. Crosby/ W.H. Doane
Let My Soul Look Up…
“I am Thine O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.
Consecrate me now to Thy service Lord,
By the power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.”
Hymn- “I Am Thine, O Lord” – Fanny J. Crosby/ W.H. Doane
From a Need to be Accepted
From the love of my own comfort
From the fear of having nothing
From a life of worldly passions
Deliver me O God,
From the need to be understood
And from a need to be accepted
From the fear of being lonely
Deliver me O God,
Deliver me O God,
And I shall not want, no I shall not want
When I taste Your goodness, I shall not want
When I taste Your goodness, I shall not want
From the fear of serving others
Oh, and from the fear of death or trial
And from the fear of humility
Deliver me O God,
And I shall not want
Song Lyrics from “I Shall Not Want” – by Audrey Assad
Since Before The World Began
“In the beginning… the Spirit of God hovered over the waters…”
“… I have loved you with an everlasting love.
Therefore, with loving kindness,
I have drawn you.”
“He chose us in Christ,
[actually selected us for Himself as His own]
Before the world began…”
-Genesis 1:2 – Jeremiah 31:3 – Ephesians 4:1
