O Thou came from above

O thou who camest from above
the fire celestial to impart,
kindle a flame of sacred love
on the mean altar of my heart.

There let it for thy glory burn
with inextinguishable blaze,
and trembling to its source return
in humble prayer and fervent praise.

Jesus, confirm my heart's desire
to work and speak and think for thee;
still let me guard the holy fire
and still stir up the gift in me.

Still let me prove thy perfect will,
my acts of faith and love repeat,
till death thy endless mercies seal,
and make the sacrifice complete.

Count your Blessings

Count your blessings

                    instead of your crosses;

Count your gains

                    instead of your losses;

Count your joys

                    instead of your woes;

Count your friends

                    instead of your foes;

Count your smiles

                    instead of your tears;

Count your courage

                    instead of your fears;

Count your full years

                    instead of your lean;

Count your kind deeds

                    instead of your mean;

Count your health

                    instead of your wealth;

Count on God

                    instead of yourself!

A new Song

I sing unto you a new song
I praise you all of my days
I lift you all of my life
I bless your name till the end

You are my  hope
You are my refuge
You are my corner stone
You are my rock

You came searching for me even
    when i ran away from you
You delivered me from the power of sin
    and gave me a new life
You filled me with thy holy spirit
    and my heart with thine everlasting peace
You lifted me up from dust
   and seated me among kings and princess

When there is no one to love me
    you gave your life for my sake
When my body is afflicted
    you healed me with thine wounds
When i am in the wilderness
    you showed me the way
When i came at your feet in distress
    you beseiged me with your arms

Your will be done

Lord my passion is to do your will
   and to hear thy word "Well done my servant"

Lord, You are my creator
    who created me wonderfully and fearfully
    to play the noblest part
    for the extension of thy kingdom
Speak to me and lead me,
    let your word be the lamp to my feet

Many things seems to be attractive for my eyes,
    pleasing to my eyes and enticing to my eyes
    but only your plans are best for me Lord
Open my spiritual eyes to see thy
    spectacular vision for my life
    beyond my human vision
Open my spiritual ears
    to hear thy silvery voice
    beyond my carnal ears

Help me not only to hear
    but also to understand
Help me not only to see
   but also  to perceive
Help me to deny myself daily
   and to carry my cross and to follow you
Let your holy spirit control my thoughts,
   control my eyes, control my ears
Captivate me and leadeth me
   to the place where you want me to go
   to do what you want me to do
   to speak what you want me to speak
   to hear what you want me to hear
   to see what you want me to see

Tune my heart to listen to your heartbeat as that of David
    to be sensitive to your voice, to hold your hands
     to follow you wherever you leadeth me
so that at the end of my race,
    i can hear your word "Well done my servant"
I can forsake everything to hear that one word
How glorious it would be to accomplish your vision
    and hear thy word "Well done my servant"

He giveth more grace

1. He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,
   He sendeth more strength when the labors increase;
   To added afflictions He addeth His mercy,
   To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.
2. When we have exhausted our store of endurance,
   When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
   When we reach the end of our hoarded resources
   Our Father’s full giving is only begun.
3. Fear not that thy need shall exceed His provision,
   Our God ever yearns His resources to share;
   Lean hard on the arm everlasting, availing;
   The Father both thee and thy load will upbear.
4. His love has no limits, His grace has no measure,
   His power no boundary known unto men;
   For out of His infinite riches in Jesus
   He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again.

How he bends but never breaks

When God wants to drill a man,

And thrill a man,

And skill a man

When God wants to mold a man

To play the noblest part;

When He yearns with all His heart

To create so great and bold a man

That all the world shall be amazed,

Watch His methods, watch His ways!

How He ruthlessly perfects

Whom He royally elects!

How He hammers him and hurts him,

And with mighty blows converts him

Into trial shapes of clay which

Only God understands;

While his tortured heart is crying

And he lifts beseeching hands!

How He bends but never breaks

When his good He undertakes;

How He uses whom He chooses,

And which every purpose fuses him;

By every act induces him

To try His splendor out-

God knows what He’s about.
