Will I be humble, not proud?

Will I be falsely submitted

OR will I be freely surrendered?

Refusing to do? refus ing to give up?

De lay ing my response to what the Lord has told me to do?

These are the choices I make to day and ever y day

Will I be re bel lious? Will I be stubborn?

Will I be rebellious? It’s as the sin of witchcraft!

Or Will I be stubborn? No, this is I do la try!

Ending....

Dear Lord I ask your help to do your Will,

for with the Holy Spirit’s help

I will be yours

all yours

Who I am is not important here,

It’s WHO is with me

And WHO is in me.

Who I am is not to be the thought,

It’s WHOSE I am

And WHY I’m bought.

It’s God’s delight to use us all,

In matters that are great or small,

Daily acts and deeds and words we say

Give Him glory each and every day

And THAT’s what I’m all about,

And THAT’s what we’re all about.

Chorus 1

To GLORIFY THE LORD is my greatest honor,

To MAGNIFY HIS NAME is my heart’s desire,

To see Him reaching out to OTHERS through me

Is a pleasure that is mine!

And a joy hard to define!

Verse 2

Who WE are is not important here...

It’s WHO is with us

And WHO is in us.

And Who we are is not to be our thought,

It’s WHOSE we are

And WHY we're bought.

It’s God’s delight to use us all,

In matters that are great or small,

Daily acts and deeds and words we say

Give Him glory each and every day

And that's what we're all about.

And that's what it's all about.

To GLORIFY THE LORD is our greatest honor,

To MAGNIFY HIS NAME is our heart’s desire,

To see Him reaching out to OTHERS through us

Is a pleasure that is ours!

And a joy hard to define!

(repeat Verse 2 but ending with)

And THAT’s what I'm all about,

And THAT’s what we're all about.

And THAT's what it's all about.

lI am free

to BE

what

HE wants me

to be...

I am free

to SAY

what

HE wants me

to say...

I am free

to GO

where

HE wants me

to go...

For His Presence

Goes WITH me.

CHORUS:

Your Vision

isn't AHEAD for you...

Your Vision

Is locked "INSIDE" of you...

It is a seed...

It is a dream...

It needs TO GROW...

VERSE 1

But first the seed must die

Then it "opens" to GOD's WAY of growing it,

Only then, can the vision grow inside of you...

Open to the sunshine..

Open to the rain...

Open to the way the LORD will grow it...

Open up to grow...

Open up to bud...

Open up to blossom...

and then GROW, GROW, GROW...

reaching maturity.

CHORUS REPEATS

VERSE 2

And for the vision to grow

Put yourself into the RIGHT environment.

You'll need some quiet to hear the Lord inside of you.

Do you need believers

to encourage you?

Are you avoiding multiplied distractions?

Meditating on the Word of God each day?

Memorizing truths in Christ?

Then, making sure,

the Vision will live, not die?

CHORUS REPEATS

VERSE 3

And as you're pursuing dreams...

Examine the MOTIVES for your vision...

Please be sure you're not pursuing worldly things!

It's not about the wealth...

the mortgage...

or career,

BUT about Christ,

and focus on HIS kingdom.

Following His Vision...

Leaving all behind...

Labor for His Glory,

and then die, die, die...

to pursuing mine.

ENDING

When I SEE His purpose, I HAVE VISION...

When I see His PURPOSE, I have VISION....

and HE is the one who WILL FULFILL IT...

Yes, He will be the one, to fulfill it.

Verse 1

God’s Jealousy…

He will spare no means

To Fully Possess Me.

 He cannot abide a spot within me.

God’s Jealousy.

Verse 2

My desperation

I will spare no means

To Fully Possess Him.

I cannot abide a spot without Him.

My desperation.

Verse 3

When He possesses me

Then I can expect that

Man will “dispossess” me.

As they did my Lord upon the tre-e

When He possesses me.

Verse 4

When I possess Him

I will not care that

Man does “dispossess” me

For I have this God inside of me

When I possess Him.

Verse 5

No Self-Reflecting…

It will cause me trouble

To fully Possess Me

My “reflecting”, it must be on Him.

No Self-Reflecting.

VERSE I

REST

Is not laziness

It is trust

REST

Is not striving

It is “letting God”

REST

It is being still enough

to hear his still small voice

REST

Only possible, as I let go

of my agenda

REST

Is the opposite spirit of the world In which we live,

For It’s TRUST

VERSE TWO

Trust that....

God

can do what "He says" HE can do.

I

can do what "He says" I can do.

God....

is the One He says He is,

and He declares to be” I AM”

and God has created me

so I am WHO

"He says" I am.

Therefore,

I  REST

in the knowing that

He is the One

In Control

over all.

This is TRUST

This is rest.

Trust is Rest.

Let the Beloved of the Lord

Rest Secure In Him...

Let the Beloved of the Lord

Rest Secure In Him

For HE shields him all day long...

and the one the Lord loves

rests between His shoulders.

Believing

As A Child

Enjoying Life

Believing What We're Told

Carefree...

Believing

Simplifies Life

It releases JOY

to believe God.

We can learn to

Have a simple approach

Simplicity is ours

When we are IN CHRIST

We give up struggling,

Trying to earn

or achieve...

Realizing we're his children

We Believe God

We can therefore

Leave our efforts

Behind

While Yet Excitedly

We Look to Jesus

He is our brother...

He, himself, is OUR GOD

Knowing

His goodness, love, and grace,

We can believe Him.
