As Fires Rage

As fires rage, the world proclaims that all is well,
As kingdoms fall, My Seed stands tall, and shall prevail.
Though smitten, they return to Me, and give their all,
This Army lives, each joint supplies, so that none shall fall.

And I've broken thee, that you might set others free,
And I've wounded thee, so My Life they can see.
But all that I have torn, I'll heal and I'll restore,
My glory, I'll set on thee, a righteous Seed you will be.

As For Me, I Shall Behold Thy Face In Righteousness

As for me I shall behold,
Thy face in righteousness,
And I shall be satisfied,
And I shall be satisfied,
When I awake,
With Thy likeness.

As we all with open face,
Beholding as in a glass,
The glory of the Lord,
Are changed into the same image,
From glory to glory even as by,
The Spirit of the Lord.

Take away the veil of the flesh.
See the church with eyes of the Lord;
See the glory of the Lord.
Be transfigured to His image,
From glory to glory even as by,
the Spirit of the Lord

As we discern His Body, His Temple,
Each part set in their right place.
Though hidden from the world,
His glory is revealed,
From glory to glory as we begin,
To behold more and more of His face.

Yield to His Spirit, from faith unto faith,
'Til His pattern is the only one.
The flesh shall all vanish,
In the light of His glory,
from glory to glory, transfigured by,
The Spirit of the son.

Can You Sense His Mighty Presence Here Today?

Can you sense His mighty Presence here today?
Can you sense His mighty Presence here today?
Do you sense His mighty Presence as we praise and pray?
Can you sense His mighty Presence here today?

If you know the love of Jesus, let Him in.
If you know the love of Jesus, let Him in.
From each fiber of your being cleansing every sin;
If you know the love of Jesus, let Him in.

Can you feel that Mighty River cleansing you?
Can you feel that Mighty River cleansing you?
Can you sense a greater cleansing than you ever knew?
Can you feel that Mighty River cleansing you?

If you praise the Lord Christ Jesus, in your heart,
If you praise the Lord Christ Jesus, in your heart,
Just receive His love and comfort which He will impart.
If you praise the Lord Christ Jesus, in your heart,

If you love the Lord's anointing, yield anew.
If you love the Lord's anointing, yield anew.
Will you open up your heart and let Him flow through you?
If you love the Lord's anointing, yield anew.

Ever greater, let that River flow in you;
Ever greater, let that River flow in you;
Just let go and let Christ Jesus make all old things new.
Ever greater, let that River flow in you.

Come And See

Long ago God set a holy order,
But then men changed it for the principles of man.
They all scoffed and said, "It doesn't matter."
But God is moving to restore His holy plan.
Well come and see.
Come and see.
Since God has moved He will continue to unfold.
Just come and see.
Come and see.
Since God has moved there is no blessing that our Savior will withhold.

Did you know that God gave universal elders?
Have you seen that God is moving to restore?
Have you seen that the impossible has happened,
And He's preparing a called out Body for war?
Well come and see.
Come and see.
Since God has moved there'll be one Shepherd and one fold.
Just come and see.
Come and see.
Since God has moved this wooden temple shall be overlaid with gold.

Did you know that God set the apostles?
This sure foundation of the Church has been restored.
Jesus Christ, the corner stone, the Chief Apostle.
On this foundation, build the temple of the Lord.
Come and see.
Come and see.
Since God has moved there's just one headship as of old.
Come and see.
Come and see.
Since God has moved He is removing all division as foretold.

Ephesians 4

He gives grace to each of us
By the measure of the Gift He has given,
When He ascended up on high He gave Gifts unto men.
And He gave some apostles,
prophets, evangelists,
Pastors, teachers--traveling ministries,
Foundational five-fold gifts.

They equip the Saints for the ministry
So the Saints build the Body of Christ.
Till we all come into the unity
Of the faith and the knowledge of Christ.

He gives grace to each of us
By the measure of the Gift He has given,
When He ascended up on high He gave Gifts unto men.
And He gave some apostles,
prophets, evangelists,
Pastors, teachers--traveling ministries,
Foundational five-fold gifts.

They are giv'n 'til we come to maturity,
To the measure of the fullness of Christ,
So that we can grow out of our infancy
And be free from what is not of Christ.

He gives grace to each of us
By the measure of the Gift He has given,
When He ascended up on high He gave Gifts unto men.
And He gave some apostles,
prophets, evangelists,
Pastors, teachers--traveling ministries,
Foundational five-fold gifts.

And each joint supplies in this body.
'Til we all grow up into the head.
And each Saint has gifts and a ministry.
So that by them the body is fed.

He gives grace to each of us
By the measure of the Gift He has given,
When He ascended up on high He gave Gifts unto men.
And He gave some apostles,
prophets, evangelists,

So the Saints grow up to maturity.
And by speaking the truth in God's love,
Let the Church grow up in totality.
Let it build up itself in God's love.

He gives grace to each of us
By the measure of the Gift He has given,

Give All of Your Praises Unto the Great King

Give all of your praises unto the great King.
He who sits on your throne--He does know everything.
And when nothing is hidden, and our knees humbly bow,
To the Christ in each other, then our cups He will fill.

So when one may need strength, we their strength do become,
We are rest for the weary, we're His will that is done.
We'll behold His great beauty, as His life does unfold,
And if we'll all stand together--we'll the Father behold.

Go To The Highways And The Byways

Many are the sinners and the destitute
So compel them that they might come in
Not too many wise or of high repute
Oh! compel them that they might come in

Knowing the terror of our God, we persuade men.
We throw open wide the door named Jesus that they might come in!
We Go to the Highways and the byways
And compel them that they might come in.
We throw open wide the door named Jesus that they might come in!

Many are ensnared in dead religious forms
Oh! compel them that they might come in.
They can never join! No, they must be born!
Oh! compel them that they might come in.

Knowing the terror of our God, we persuade men.
We throw open wide the door named Jesus that they might come in!
We Go to the Highways and the byways
And compel them that they might come in.
We throw open wide the door named Jesus that they might come in!

Many have been born, but they desire to grow.
Oh! compel them that they might come in.
Let them see the Rock! Let the Spirit flow!
Oh! compel them that they might come in.

Knowing the terror of our God, we persuade men.
We throw open wide the door named Jesus that they might come in!
We Go to the Highways and the byways
And compel them that they might come in.
We throw open wide the door named Jesus that they might come in!

Many walk in bondage when they could be free.
So compel them that they might come in.
Let the Lord anoint Your ministry,
And compel them that they might come in.

Knowing the terror of our God, we persuade men.
We throw open wide the door named Jesus that they might come in!
We Go to the Highways and the byways
And compel them that they might come in.
We throw open wide the door named Jesus that they might come in!

Many have a hunger and they feel undone,
So compel them that they might come in.
Go out to the sad and the homeless ones
And compel them that they might come in.

Knowing the terror of our God, we persuade men.
We throw open wide the door named Jesus that they might come in!
We Go to the Highways and the byways
And compel them that they might come in.
We throw open wide the door named Jesus that they might come in!

He Who Eats My Flesh and Drinks My Blood

He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood,
I shall raise up, I shall raise up,
Yes, he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood,
I shall raise up, in the last Day.

For My glorious Body is eternal life,
And I shall raise up, I shall raise up.
He who dwells in Me, there is found no death nor strife,
And I shall raise up in the last Day.

His Life Is Now Flowing

Since we were born into this mighty kingdom,
Our Lord has saved us from all vanity within.
He bids us come to partake of His goodness,
And leave behind the fleshly night of sin.

His life is now flowing from member to member.
The Body is growing to fullness in Him.
His Love is now flowing--the Fruit of the Spirit.
This Fruit is now growing to fullness in Him.

We daily walk--the Spirit is our teacher.
And as He teaches we yield to our Lord.
We have the part, but we will have the fullness.
If we keep walking, life is our reward.

His life is now flowing from member to member.
The Body is growing to fullness in Him.
His Love is now flowing--the Fruit of the Spirit.
This Fruit is now growing to fullness in Him.

His Love Is Flowing From Member To Member

His Love is flowing from member to member,
Each one in the place, which God has ordained.
Though many may try in their own feeble power,
God gives His life freely; in Love our God reigns.

We shall surly be just like Him
In the moment that we see Him as He is,
The Body is all one with many members,
We can read and know: that is how Christ is.

His Love is flowing from member to member,
Each one in the place, which God has ordained.
Though many may try in their own feeble power,
God gives His life freely; in Love our God reigns.

Behold I show you a mystery,
We shall not all die,
But we shall all be changed, in just a moment,
It will happen in a twinkling of an eye.

His Love is flowing from member to member,
Each one in the place, which God has ordained.
Though many may try in their own feeble power,
God gives His life freely; in Love our God reigns.

As with open, unveiled faces,
His image we discern and clearly see.
From glory unto glory to be just like Him,
From faith to faith, we are becoming free.

His Love is flowing from member to member,
Each one in the place, which God has ordained.
Though many may try in their own feeble power,
God gives His life freely; in Love our God reigns.

Now we are little children of God.
He is in us but He hasn't been unveiled.
As we see Him as He is in each ministry,
We'll be changed by degrees to be like Him.

His Love is flowing from member to member,
Each one in the place, which God has ordained.
Though many may try in their own feeble power,
God gives His life freely; in Love our God reigns.

Jesus sits at the Father's right hand,
Until that final enemy is gone,
The last thing to be done is to defeat death,
Then our Lord and Savior, Jesus, will return.

His Love is flowing from member to member,
Each one in the place, which God has ordained.
Though many may try in their own feeble power,
God gives His life freely; in Love our God reigns.

Jesus is the one the heavens must hold,
He must stay there 'til all fullness is restored,
And it's written, awful death is the last enemy,
Yet preceding the returning of our Lord.

His Love is flowing from member to member,
Each one in the place, which God has ordained.
Though many may try in their own feeble power,
God gives His life freely; in Love our God reigns.

Let's not put God's new wine into those old wineskins.
And not ever change God's wonderful good news
To try to make it fit some old theologies.
Between the ways of men and God, we must choose.

His Love is flowing from member to member,
Each one in the place, which God has ordained.
Though many may try in their own feeble power,
God gives His life freely; in Love our God reigns.

God gives His life freely; in Love our God reigns.

I see You in Your government, Your Kingdom in the earth.

Let Us Be Broken Like Bread

Let us be broken like bread to feed the hungry.
Let us be poured out like wine for those in need.
May we empty ourselves with words of life,
So that virtue may go out to all the earth.
I hear the groanings of My creation
Asking, "How long, how long will it be?"
They are standing on tiptoe and waiting to see
The sons of God bringing forth their liberty.

The Real Church

Our God is real and absolute and His Light never dims,
Though much is done and falsely labeled as a work of Him,
Unlike the real Christ, the Only Hope of all mankind,
A plastic church suggests another christ of laws that bind,
A christ composed of many rules and rituals and forms,
And claiming that some human works could somehow please the Lord.
The members of the real Church confess the state they're in,
Depending on the works of Christ to save them from their sins.
Who look to power from On High to be set fully free,
And, though yet soiled, and spotted still, to one day holy be.

There is no way to join God's Church, yet all who will may come,
And any may be born into this Church of God's dear Son.
Unlike our mighty Lord, Who saves, and heals, by Whom we soar,
A man-made church presents some other christ who has no power,
A christ who has no power to heal, no power to set you free,
But rather form and ritual, a name from history.
How different, God's Church, God's Doors, His called out ministries,
Who manifest the potent Christ, the One Who sets us free,
Those led with power from on high; those called out from the world,
Those called to sell all that they have to purchase this great pearl.

The Church is not a club to join, yet all who will may come,
And any may be born into this Church of God's own Son.
Unlike this Holy One, in Whom we live so high above,
Synthetic churches pose some other christ . . . who is not Love,
A christ who brings no holiness, a mist from long ago,
A christ who is so far away, not like the One we know.
How different, God's Church: with Love of God and Spirit flow,
Obeying Christ, our vital Lord, The living Corner Stone.
That pattern absolute and sure, the living Christ Divine,
For we love Him Who is the Light, so He within us shines.

And all who seek to know the Lord will find Him as they pray,
Though many false christs are put forth who cannot help or save.
Unlike the mighty Christ, Whose presence is a burning fire,
A plastic church presents some other christ of mind's desire,
A christ who entertains and stimulates the human minds,
A made up christ who loves the world, that shackles, maims, and blinds.
Christ's Body is the Church: the growing Temple from On High,
Which now shows forth Lord Jesus Christ, the only Good and Kind,
The Temple of our holy God, a House not made with hands,
By that which every joint supplies, this Temple grows and stands.

So many spirits have gone forth, and many voices speak,
But those who seek the Holy One are careful as they seek.
They find the teaching Christ, Whom we may seek and find and know,
While pseudo-churches preach another christ who cannot show,
A christ who cannot speak to us, nor even guide our way,
The christ they preach we cannot know, nor grow in Him each day.
The contrast is the Church: those called to Light from shades of gray,
To walk according to the Christ revealed, in pots of clay.
Those called to press toward calling high will be set fully free,
And, though yet soiled, and spotted still, will one day holy be.

The doctrine that there is no Truth, Whom we may seek and find,
Pervades the earthly, devilish church, which charms the human mind.
Not like the great I Am, Who is, and Whom we know and feel,
A barren church presents a different christ who is not real,
A christ who says, "Do as thou wilt," with choices you may choose,
A vapor, a philosophy, a thought that you can use.
How different, God's Church, those who reveal our God's good news,
They manifest the steadfast Christ, the One Whom all may choose,
With love unfeigned and hope unquenched and Faith the only shield,
That Body of the living Lord: His essence now revealed.

You Have A Ministry

You have a ministry,
A holy calling from the Lord above.
You have a place in His Body.
Not what you choose to be,
But if you truly seek the Lord above,
If you wait 'til you are sent,
From your own dead works repent,
He will show you what is meant
By a Body that builds itself in love.

You are a ministry,
A holy Temple of the Lord above.
You are a part of His Body.
You can set the captive free,
If you use the Gift from God above,
If you wait 'til you are sent,
From your own dead works repent,
He will show you what is meant
By a Body that builds itself in love.
