Christ Has Set Me Free
Christ has set me free;
Glorious liberty.
Sin and sickness and death and hell
Have no longer power over me.
Christ has set me free;
Glorious liberty.
Sin and sickness and death and hell
Have no longer power over me.
Come Lord Jesus
All the world is grasping after
Pleasures that could never satisfy.
They grope in the darkness,
Not knowing what is happening or why.
They don't know they're groaning
For sons of God to manifest the Christ.
They don't know they need Him; Yes!
They need the Son of God to give them life.
Come Lord Jesus.
Abide within my lonely heart, I pray.
Come Lord Jesus.
Fulfill and satisfy. Lord, come and stay.
Come Lord Jesus.
Make me complete in You in every way.
Come Lord Jesus.
Bring love and hope and joy and peace today.
God so loved the world
That He gave His Son, the Babe of Bethlehem,
That anyone who trusts Him
Is forgiven and no longer is condemned,
And any who believes in Him,
As a babe in Christ, is born again,
With pow'r to grow to fullness, Yes!
To die to self and fully live in Him.
Come Lord Jesus.
Abide within my lonely heart, I pray.
Come Lord Jesus.
Fulfill and satisfy. Lord, come and stay.
Come Lord Jesus.
Make me complete in You in every way.
Come Lord Jesus.
Bring love and hope and joy and peace today.
The clatter of this earthly realm,
Rushing here and there to meet it's goals,
There is no rest or comfort
For those who let the world take control,
But there is just one Person,
One Lord and Savior Who can make them whole.
And all who choose to seek Him know
That He gives peace and rest to weary souls.
Come Lord Jesus.
Abide within my lonely heart, I pray.
Come Lord Jesus.
Fulfill and satisfy. Lord, come and stay.
Come Lord Jesus.
Make me complete in You in every way.
Come Lord Jesus.
Bring love and hope and joy and peace today.

From Death To Life
From death to Life, from doubt to Faith,
From fear to Love, by mighty Grace,
Oh, people, move as I direct you into Light.
And never fear for I am here.
And, as you seek, I will draw near.
And, just ahead, you see the Kingdom shining bright.
It's given once for men to die,
So Christ has died to satisfy
The debt of sin and death that you could never pay.
The door of life is open wide.
Come in. Come in. Come and abide.
Take hold of Him, and pass from night into the day.
The Kingdom now is here for you.
The King is calling unto you.
Oh let the world fade away through His free grace.
Take hold of Life in Christ the Lord.
Rise up in Him. He is the Word.
Keep walking in; behold the glory of His Face.

Getting In!
One of the older Ministries (now deceased) told the following story many years ago....
"Long ago in the city of Chicago a woman lay dying. She had lived a long life of sin without care or thought for God. While she was young, life had gone her way, but as the years went by her friends became fewer and fewer until at last, deserted and alone, she lay dying in her dismal attic room. In her distress she sent her daughter to call for the neighborhood minister. 'Tell him,' she said, ' that I am dying and I want him to tell me HOW TO GET IN.' The night was cold and the minister himself knew not the true way of salvation. On the walls of his study hung the pictures of his seminary classmates and his degrees in theology. He was reluctant to leave the comfort of his home to go out on such a cold night to such a dismal district, but because of the importunity of the girl he aroused himself and, wrapping his warm coat about him, was led to the dingy apartment where the dying woman lay. A look of pleasure wreathed her careworn face as he came in. 'I'm so glad you've come,' she said, 'for I want you to tell me HOW TO GET IN.' The poor minister was baffled. He knew not what to say. For years he had taught the people to do the best they could, to join the church, and to live good respectable lives, but here was a situation he had never faced before. Seating himself on the chair beside the bed, he began to tell her how we should think kind thoughts and do kind deeds. 'Ah,' said the woman, ' but I am dying. It is too late for that now.' 'Well,' said the minister, ' you should keep the golden rule and do unto others as you would have them do to you. If we do the best we can, we will be alright.'
'But,' said the woman, ' it is too late for that. Is there nothing else you can tell me?'
The minister, in his distraction realizing how vain such words were in such a critical hour as this, ventured to quote a scripture he had learned to recite as a child. 'God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life: for God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.' 'That's it! That's it,' she cried. 'That's what I wanted to hear. Now kneel down and pray for me.' The minister kneeled to pray, but unable to pray for the woman, he prayed for himself, and as he prayed, Christ came into his heart; and he GOT IN, and she GOT IN. It is of grace that it might be by faith that ALL who are afar off might be brought nigh to God through faith in JESUS Christ our Lord."
Marvellous grace of our loving Lord,
Freely bestowed on all who believe,
Yonder on Calvary's mount outpoured;
Will you this moment His grace receive?
Dark is the stain that we cannot hide;
What can avail to wash it away?
Look, there is flowing a crimson tide!
WHITER THAN SNOW YOU MAY BE TODAY.

Happy Are We
Happy are we, who go in
and come out no more,
For the fullness of One
- The Christ - The Son
Is the only door.
The truth is the way,
it's revealed in this day,
His life has begun.
All flesh must cease
- then He gives peace
Victory has come!
Happy are we, joyful indeed
- we have liberty,
We are born from above,
we are birthed in His love
And His praises we sing.
His covenant are we,
we're His joy and His peace,
Setting mankind free.
Sorrow has flown
- He's come into His own,
So rejoice with me!

Here We Walk In The Interim
Here we walk the in the interim
Between the promise and the full possession.
Let us walk on with God . . . let us go on with Him.
Walk on with God in the way that He has chosen,
Step by step into the light 'till that morning so bright,
When the next step on our path is resurrection life.

Now all things are made new.

I Have Said I Am A Christian
I have said I am a Christian:
That I follow Jesus Christ.
Since I use the name of Jesus,
May His life show in my life.
I accept the blood of Jesus;
I receive the Way God gave.
I receive His mighty Spirit,
And allow the Lord to Save.
For I know that human effort
Can't avail for righteousness,
I will trust myself to Jesus,
And, to Him, my need confess.
Now, I'm in a time of training,
And by grace I'm being healed,
While I grow to be like Jesus,
Till His fullness is revealed.
Since I say that I'm a Christian,
Let the living Christ abide.
Let not "Christian" be a label,
While Christ Jesus is denied.
As a Christian, though not perfect,
I'm forgiven by God's gift,
Through the payment made by Jesus,
God forgives, abides, and lifts.
My faith comes as I will hear Him;
It's the power of my prayer.
As I seek Him, I will find Him;
When I seek Him, He is there.
Let my hope rest in His goodness.
Come, Lord, live in me, I pray,
Flowing out in depth of purpose,
In all that I think and say.
If I truly love my Jesus,
I will seek to have His mind,
Just like Jesus, be a servant,
Who is humble, meek, and kind.
Since I say I am a Christian.
May His hope fill all my view.
Take all anger, strife, and envy
From my life, and make me new.
Let His Love flow through my being.
Let His Presence give me power.
May my heart be listening closely,
As He guides me hour by hour
My Christ Jesus lives within me,
"Come up higher," hear Him say,
"To a deeper, living glory;
Give the Spirit total sway."
My heart longs to go up higher,
To be freed from every sin.
I am seeking for fulfillment
That is only found in Him.
I desire the greatest blessing,
Pressing in with all my might,
Pressing toward His holy calling,
Till I reach the highest height.
And I seek to really know Him
More completely, day to day,
By the means that God has given;
I am walking in the Way.
Though I know I'm far from perfect,
Yet I long to be complete,
For I know that my completeness,
Will be found at Jesus' feet.

I Have The Seed
I have the seed
It's the seed of the fruit of Love flowing out from me
I see the weed
I see a fruit that is deceptive hanging on the tree.
I have a need
For the fullness of the Love of God flowing out from me.
Now, Lord, I plead
Water my ground constantly,
Don't let my stony heart impede,
Don't let the birds get at the seed,
Take away those thorny weeds,
Let your love grow up in me today.

I Hear Singing
I hear singing - the redeemed of the Lord now stand;
Those who follow the Lamb,
Undefiled by man.
Out of Zion, the everlasting Gospel rings,
I see the Priests and Kings,
The redeemed of the Lord.
The everlasting Gospel rings,
I see the Priests and Kings,
The redeemed of the Lord.

If You Hear His Voice
If you hear His voice
While it's called today,
You will make your choice
Whether to obey.
Will you walk into the Kingdom of God?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?
Don't reject everything you don't understand. (2 Cor. 3:13)
Moving ever onward, you can move at His command.
Take the veil from your eyes and look into the Word.
Many sit self-satisfied, at ease and unmatured.
If you hear His voice
While it's called today,
You will make your choice
Whether to obey.
Will you walk into the Kingdom of God?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?
Many search the Holy Word, but all they really see (1 Cor. 2:10, Eph. 3:5)
Is the darkness of the veil of their own theology.
The natural mind is enmity, it's waiting to deceive
But the five-fold ministry has been set to receive.
If you hear His voice
While it's called today,
You will make your choice
Whether to obey.
Will you walk into the Kingdom of God?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?
Some think they are so spiritual--that they have got it all. (2 Tim 3:7)
But he who thinks he standeth must be careful lest he fall.
Some are ever learning but the truth they cannot find
because they put their trust in the power of their mind.
If you hear His voice
While it's called today,
You will make your choice
Whether to obey.
Will you walk into the Kingdom of God?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?
The Bible gave the warning that there would come an hour (2 Tim 3:5)
When men would have religious forms but yet deny the power.
Don't reject the mighty word of Him who speaks today.
He would have you enter in, and if you will you may.
If you hear His voice
While it's called today,
You will make your choice
Whether to obey.
Will you walk into the Kingdom of God?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?
If you can see the ministries, you are called this way. (Mat. 13:44-46)
The Kingdom costs you everything; there is no other way.
Don't reject the mighty word of Him who speaks today.
He would have you enter in, make sure that you obey.
If you hear His voice
While it's called today,
You will make your choice
Whether to obey.
Will you walk into the Kingdom of God?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?
Walking in the way that Enoch trod?

It Matters Not
It matters not what sins you have committed,
If you yield yourself to Jesus, He forgives.
If you submit your will to the King of Kings,
The Master of all life in you lives.
The Master of all life in you lives.
It matters not your power in the Spirit
The miracles you do in Jesus Name.
If you will not submit to the King of Kings,
You are disobeying Him just the same.
You are disobeying Him just the same.
Who will yield. Who will submit.
Will you give yourself to Jesus today.
If you yield; if you submit to Him,
He will lead you in each precept and each Way.
And if you do not fully understand.
Reach out. Put your hand in Jesus' Hand.
He will lead you to that promised Kingdom Land.
Step by step, He will show you the way.

Oh What A Plan
Adam had become a servant, by obeying that old serpent,
So His children are all captive--death is the end of every man.
Jesus perfectly submitted. He obeyed His Father always.
Never would He yield to Satan; Broke the curse for every man.
chorus:
Oh what a plan! Oh what a wonderful salvation!
God's only plan! He has one way of salvation.
Oh what a plan--so long ago our God began.
Oh what a plan. What a plan! What a plan!
In the church God showed His wisdom, but man soon made a different vision.
God's foundation then removing, man rejected God's own plan.
Joel's worms destroyed Christ's body, but God began His restoration.
Always patient with man's weakness, line on line He gave command.
chorus:
Oh what a plan! Oh what a wonderful salvation!
God's only plan! He has one way of salvation.
Oh what a plan--so long ago our God began.
Oh what a plan. What a plan! What a plan!
A body, now, our Lord is forming, every element restoring,
Apostles, prophets, elders, deacons, gifts and ministries again.
One pattern, God has for Christ's body, so living water can flow from us.
Life now flows between the members, growing fruit and washing clean.
chorus:
Oh what a plan! Oh what a wonderful salvation!
God's only plan! He has one way of salvation.
Oh what a plan--so long ago our God began.
Oh what a plan. What a plan! What a plan!
We were born into that body, born again to grow in Jesus.
Growing up into His fullness. Growing to a perfect man.
He is dwelling, now, within us. All our flesh He's stripping from us,
That His light may shine out from us. We cannot, but, Lord, You can.
chorus:
Oh what a plan! Oh what a wonderful salvation!
God's only plan! He has one way of salvation.
Oh what a plan--so long ago our God began.
Oh what a plan. What a plan! What a plan!
He will place us as His partners, As His manifested workers.
Then as full-grown sons He'll set us. As one body we will stand.
Every enemy we vanquish--Death, the last to be defeated.
When at last sore death is beaten, Jesus shall return again.
chorus:
Oh what a plan! Oh what a wonderful salvation!
God's only plan! He has one way of salvation.
Oh what a plan--so long ago our God began.
Oh what a plan. What a plan! What a plan!

Romans 6
Reckon ye yourselves to be dead indeed to sin,
But alive unto God through Christ the Gift of Love.
Let not sin therefore reign in the body you are in
That You should obey it in the lust thereof.
Neither yield ye your members as instruments
Of unrighteousness unto sin,
But yield yourselves unto God,
As those having life within.
Corruptible must put on incorruption, don't you see.
Mortality must put on immortality.

All things work together to perform
God's good purpose, which is to conform us

If the pain and weight of life is coming
on so very strong,
That it's taken away your song;
When your days are filled with irritation;
Things keep going wrong,
And you cry out, "O Lord, how long?"
Just remember God's good purpose,
And what He intends to do;
He intends to make all old things new.
He will have us shine as lights,
And He will see it through,
So let patience work a perfect work in you.
For those who love and seek the Lord,

There Is No Substitute For Jesus
All the things that men may do to substitute,
Those creations and theologies they institute,
All those things that they invent,
And their clever argument,
Cannot compare to Jesus.
There is no substitute for Jesus.
We each must know Him as our Friend.
He must reveal Himself and fill us.
He must work through us from within.
There is no substitute for Jesus.
We must receive Him as our Friend.
The more we yield, the more He fills us,
Until we're glorified with Him.
So many ways that men may try to imitate
God's great moving by His Spirit but if we will wait
On the Lord and seek His face,
He shall touch us with His grace.
We shall touch Him, our Jesus.
There is no substitute for Jesus.
We each must know Him as our Friend.
He must reveal Himself and fill us.
He must work through us from within.
There is no substitute for Jesus.
We must receive Him as our Friend.
The more we yield, the more He fills us,
Until we're glorified with Him.
All the things the men may do to substitute,
Forms and programs dead and empty and so destitute,
Mocking Him on Whom we're built,
He Who takes away our guilt,
The King of Kings, our Jesus.
There is no substitute for Jesus.
We each must know Him as our Friend.
He must reveal Himself and fill us.
He must work through us from within.
There is no substitute for Jesus.
We must receive Him as our Friend.
The more we yield, the more He fills us,
Until we're glorified with Him.

What A Wonder
What a Wonder, what a Wonder you are.
You've exceeded our expectations by far.
Salvation for all men, and not just a few,
What a Wonder, what a Wonder, You are!
I see you hanging on a tree that's so cold.
Your accusers are cursing you, we're told.
You look them all over, and cry, "forgive them Father"
What a Wonder, what a Wonder, You are!
What a Wonder, what a Wonder you are.
You've exceeded our expectations by far.
Salvation for all men, and not just a few,
What a Wonder, what a Wonder, You are!
On the third day you've arisen from the tomb,
Your disciples come looking, but you're not there.
You've been preaching to lost souls, the Gospel of the Good News, What a Wonder,
what a Wonder, You are!
What a Wonder, what a Wonder you are.
You've exceeded our expectations by far.
Salvation for all men, and not just a few,
What a Wonder, what a Wonder, You are!

What About This Jesus? What About This One Called Christ?
What about this Jesus?
What about this one called Christ?
Right now, will you receive Him?
Would it be a sacrifice?
What about this Jesus?
What about this one called Christ?
Right now, will you receive Him?
He has paid the price.
Today, if you hear God's voice,
He has put it in your hand.
He is giving you the choice.
He just asks you where you stand.
Will you choose the way of death,
Or choose the way of life?
He is giving you the choice.
Today, choose the Lord and life.
But if you choose to miss the way,
You choose death and pain and strife.
You will make a choice today.
Jesus is the Truth, the Light,
The Door, the Way, the Life.
He is giving you the choice.

And I love Him.

Poetry & Meditations
From Death To Life
From death to Life, from doubt to Faith,
From fear to Love, by mighty Grace,
Oh, people, move as I direct you into Light.
And never fear for I am here.
And, as you seek, I will draw near.
And, just ahead, you see the Kingdom shining bright.
It's given once for men to die,
So Christ has died to satisfy
The debt of sin and death that you could never pay.
The door of life is open wide.
Come in. Come in. Come and abide.
Take hold of Him, and pass from night into the day.
The Kingdom now is here for you.
The King is calling unto you.
Oh let the world fade away through His free grace.
Take hold of Life in Christ the Lord.
Rise up in Him. He is the Word.
Keep walking in; behold the glory of His Face.

Getting In!
One of the older Ministries (now deceased) told the following story many years ago....
"Long ago in the city of Chicago a woman lay dying. She had lived a long life of sin without care or thought for God. While she was young, life had gone her way, but as the years went by her friends became fewer and fewer until at last, deserted and alone, she lay dying in her dismal attic room. In her distress she sent her daughter to call for the neighborhood minister. 'Tell him,' she said, ' that I am dying and I want him to tell me HOW TO GET IN.' The night was cold and the minister himself knew not the true way of salvation. On the walls of his study hung the pictures of his seminary classmates and his degrees in theology. He was reluctant to leave the comfort of his home to go out on such a cold night to such a dismal district, but because of the importunity of the girl he aroused himself and, wrapping his warm coat about him, was led to the dingy apartment where the dying woman lay. A look of pleasure wreathed her careworn face as he came in. 'I'm so glad you've come,' she said, 'for I want you to tell me HOW TO GET IN.' The poor minister was baffled. He knew not what to say. For years he had taught the people to do the best they could, to join the church, and to live good respectable lives, but here was a situation he had never faced before. Seating himself on the chair beside the bed, he began to tell her how we should think kind thoughts and do kind deeds. 'Ah,' said the woman, ' but I am dying. It is too late for that now.' 'Well,' said the minister, ' you should keep the golden rule and do unto others as you would have them do to you. If we do the best we can, we will be alright.'
'But,' said the woman, ' it is too late for that. Is there nothing else you can tell me?'
The minister, in his distraction realizing how vain such words were in such a critical hour as this, ventured to quote a scripture he had learned to recite as a child. 'God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life: for God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.' 'That's it! That's it,' she cried. 'That's what I wanted to hear. Now kneel down and pray for me.' The minister kneeled to pray, but unable to pray for the woman, he prayed for himself, and as he prayed, Christ came into his heart; and he GOT IN, and she GOT IN. It is of grace that it might be by faith that ALL who are afar off might be brought nigh to God through faith in JESUS Christ our Lord."
Marvellous grace of our loving Lord,
Freely bestowed on all who believe,
Yonder on Calvary's mount outpoured;
Will you this moment His grace receive?
Dark is the stain that we cannot hide;
What can avail to wash it away?
Look, there is flowing a crimson tide!
WHITER THAN SNOW YOU MAY BE TODAY.

I Have Said I Am A Christian
I have said I am a Christian:
That I follow Jesus Christ.
Since I use the name of Jesus,
May His life show in my life.
I accept the blood of Jesus;
I receive the Way God gave.
I receive His mighty Spirit,
And allow the Lord to Save.
For I know that human effort
Can't avail for righteousness,
I will trust myself to Jesus,
And, to Him, my need confess.
Now, I'm in a time of training,
And by grace I'm being healed,
While I grow to be like Jesus,
Till His fullness is revealed.
Since I say that I'm a Christian,
Let the living Christ abide.
Let not ?Christian? be a label,
While Christ Jesus is denied.
As a Christian, though not perfect,
I'm forgiven by God's gift,
Through the payment made by Jesus,
God forgives, abides, and lifts.
My faith comes as I will hear Him;
It's the power of my prayer.
As I seek Him, I will find Him;
When I seek Him, He is there.
Let my hope rest in His goodness.
Come, Lord, live in me, I pray,
Flowing out in depth of purpose,
In all that I think and say.
If I truly love my Jesus,
I will seek to have His mind,
Just like Jesus, be a servant,
Who is humble, meek, and kind.
Since I say I am a Christian.
May His hope fill all my view.
Take all anger, strife, and envy
From my life, and make me new.
Let His Love flow through my being.
Let His Presence give me power.
May my heart be listening closely,
As He guides me hour by hour
My Christ Jesus lives within me,
?Come up higher,? hear Him say,
?To a deeper, living glory;
Give the Spirit total sway.?
My heart longs to go up higher,
To be freed from every sin.
I am seeking for fulfillment
That is only found in Him.
I desire the greatest blessing,
Pressing in with all my might,
Pressing toward His holy calling,
Till I reach the highest height.
And I seek to really know Him
More completely, day to day,
By the means that God has given;
I am walking in the Way.
Though I know I'm far from perfect,
Yet I long to be complete,
For I know that my completeness,
Will be found at Jesus' feet.
