1. I want to tell You, Lord, how much You mean to me.
Through years of careful molding, Your plan at last I see.
Though pain I've had and suffering too,
Myself I yield at last, Lord, to You.

2. I want to care for You, the way You've cared for me.
You've been my friend to comfort, received me when I've strayed.
And in return I offer You
My life so small compared, Lord, to You.

3. I'd like for You to fill me with all that You are.
And empty out my heart from everything You're not.
You've blessed me Lord by finding me.
Possess me now eternally.

Raise me higher, mounting as on eagle-wings

EVERY Christian has eagle's wings (Isaiah 40:31, 2 Corinthians 12:9) in him or her. The eagle's wings enable us to enjoy God as grace, strength and power.

The eagle's wings are also the means for the 4-living-creature coordination (Ezekiel 1:11-14). Our coordination is NOT in ourselves, but in God and by the divine grace, strength and power.

However, if we don't use it, we lose it. If we don't apply the eagle's wings practically in our daily walk, we would have no strength and no coordination. Enjoy the following hymn and exercise the eagle's wings given to you. Amen.

1. Unto him that hath Thou givest
Ever more abundantly;
Lord, I live because Thou livest,
Therefore give more life to me,
Therefore speed me in the race,
Therefore let me grow in grace.

2. Deepen all Thy work, O Master,
Strengthen every downward root;
Only do Thou ripen faster,
More and more Thy pleasant fruit;
Purge me, prune me, self abase;
Only let me grow in grace.

3. Let me grow by sun and shower,
Every moment water me;
Make me really, hour by hour,
More and more conformed to Thee,
That Thy loving eye may trace
Day by day my growth in grace.

4. From Thy fullness grace outpouring,
Show me ever greater things;
Raise me higher, sun-ward soaring,
Mounting as on eagle-wings.
By the brightness of Thy face,
Ever let me grow in grace.

5. Let me, then, be always growing,
Never, never standing still,
Listening, learning, better knowing
Thee and Thy most blessed will.
Till I win the glorious race,
Daily let me grow in grace.

(Repeat the last two lines of each stanza)

Lord, I love You more and more each day

If you visit Tahquamenon Falls in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, you shall see this sign at the entrance of the Lower Falls:

Take nothing but pictures. Leave nothing but footprints.

Do you realize that our human journey is just a short tour? We should have a sign that reads:
Take nothing but oil for the lamp. (Matthew 25:4)
Leave nothing but the testimony of Jesus. (Revelation 12:11)

1. Lord, I love You more and more each day.
Lord, I love You more this very day.
I can't live without You anymore.
I can't make it like I did before.

Oh, those years when I was void of You.
Lord, You rescued me when I was through.
When I reminisce those other years,
Emptiness, heartaches, and many tears.

Lord, I do love You more everyday.
Lord, I do love You much more this very day.

2. Oh, that thirst that gnawed me deep within:
Drove me looking for satisfaction.
Oh, the many things that I have tried:
Left me thirsting and dissatisfied.

In this endless search for something new,
All the time this cry was just for You.
I was blind in trying many things
'Til I drank You as my living Spring.

Lord, I do love You more everyday.
Lord, I do love You much more this very day.

3. Lord, You came and filled my inmost being.
You're the sweetest satisfaction.
You're the Spirit as my everything,
Spirit in my spirit bubbling.

Thank You, Lord, for coming into me.
Now You're spreading in me constantly.
Lord, You're making home in all my heart,
As my treasure filling every part.
