Songs of Love 2:164

【By You the Best is Now】

By You, the best is now,

For You’re better than all.

I’m not ashamed when I rely on You.

By You I will rejoice.

I once believed

The past’s better than now.

And I forgot You are with me now.

Your love is surrounding me.

You’re loving me, embracing me.

Your love has never changed.

For You are better than all,

By You the best is now.



【1 Thess 4:1-12】

1 Finally, then, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, just as you are doing, that you do so more and more.

2 For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality;

4 that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor,

5 not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God;

6 that no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you.

7 For God has not called us for impurity, but in holiness.

8 Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.

9 Now concerning brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another,

10 for that indeed is what you are doing to all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to do this more and more,

11 and to aspire to live quietly, and to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we instructed you,

12 so that you may walk properly before outsiders and be dependent on no one.

Songs of Love 2:211

【May You See the Good of the Church All Your life】

1 For all your life may you see the good of the church.

Be root’d in God’s household.

Flourish in the church.

May they prosper who love You,

O’those who love the church.

O’ may the Lord bless you from His household.



2 For all your life may you see the good of the church.

O’God’s abode of rest is also my rest.

If I forget you, o’church, let me utter no word.

God’s most glorious purpose is my vision.



【1 Thess 3:1-13】

1 Therefore when we could bear it no longer, we were willing to be left behind at Athens alone,

2 and we sent Timothy, our brother and God’s coworker in the gospel of Christ, to establish and exhort you in your faith,

3 that no one be moved by these afflictions.

4 For you yourselves know that we are destined for this.

5 For when we were with you, we kept telling you beforehand that we were to suffer affliction, just as it has come to pass, and just as you know. For this reason, when I could bear it no longer, I sent to learn about your faith, for fear that somehow the tempter had tempted you and our labor would be in vain.

6 But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us the good news of your faith and love and reported that you always remember us kindly and long to see us, as we long to see you—

7 for this reason, brothers, in all our distress and affliction we have been comforted about you through your faith.

8 For now we live, if you are standing fast in the Lord.

9 For what thanksgiving can we return to God for you, for all the joy that we feel for your sake before our God,

10 as we pray most earnestly night and day that we may see you face to face and supply what is lacking in your faith?

11 Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus, direct our way to you,

12 and may the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one another and for all, as we do for you,

13 so that he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all his saints.

God’s Family Hymnal 13:18

【The Love Dream of the Lord】

For Your deepest love desire

Thought - out all eternity,

Your poured out Your life,

Your precious blood to

Fulfill Your love dream

And Your love longing.

Such deepest union between You and me!

You abide forever in my heart!

A living union of love and life bound up as one—

We are one spirit, heart to heart!

‘Tis Your desire, Your satisfaction, Your joy,

And my greatest joy and treasure, my rest!



You are mine, Infinite Lord!

Fully You belong to me!

From everlasting,

I am Your love dream,

Your ever dearest,

Your well-matched darling!

Desire of old love till eternity!

Pink petals line our path of love.

Endless love river with overflowing blessing and love—

How bless’d! How bless’d! Most bless’d am I!

I enter into the boundless riches of Christ!

You and I live in this endless love dream!



【1 Thess 2:1-20】

1 For you yourselves know, brothers, that our coming to you was not in vain.

2 But though we had already suffered and been shamefully treated at Philippi, as you know, we had boldness in our God to declare to you the gospel of God in the midst of much conflict.

3 For our appeal does not spring from error or impurity or any attempt to deceive,

4 but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not to please man, but to please God who tests our hearts.

5 For we never came with words of flattery, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed—God is witness.

6 Nor did we seek glory from people, whether from you or from others, though we could have made demands as apostles of Christ.

7 But we were gentle among you, like a nursing mother taking care of her own children.

8 So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us.

9 For you remember, brothers, our labor and toil: we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.

10 You are witnesses, and God also, how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers.

11 For you know how, like a father with his children,

12 we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and charged you to walk in a manner worthy of God,

13 who calls you into his own kingdom and glory. And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.

14 For you, brothers, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea. For you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews,

15 who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out, and displease God and oppose all mankind

16 by hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles that they might be saved—so as always to fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them at last!

17 But since we were torn away from you, brothers, for a short time, in person not in heart, we endeavored the more eagerly and with great desire to see you face to face,

18 because we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, again and again—but Satan hindered us.

19 For what is our hope or joy or crown of boasting before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not you?

20 For you are our glory and joy.

God’s Family Hymnal 13:48

【I Appeared Out of Your Love】

1 I appeared out of Your love.

I’ll fore’er exist for You!

You’re the myrrh upon my heart.

You’re the purpose of my life.

You’re more precious than love and life.

I exist fore’er for You.



2 From of old, You long for me.

I’m Your one eternal love.

I’m the secret of Your love hidden deeply in Your heart.

You and I embrace forever,

to each other we belong.



3 Whom have I in heaven but You?

I desire none else on earth.

You’re my fountain, living spring!

Only You can fill my heart!

You’re my only rest and home.

May my heart be Yours fore’er!

In Your bosom I’ll abide.



【1 Thess 1-10】

1 Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace to you and peace.

2 We give thanks to God always for all of you, constantly mentioning you in our prayers,

3 remembering before our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

4 For we know, brothers loved by God, that he has chosen you,

5 because our gospel came to you not only in word, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction. You know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.

6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit,

7 so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.

8 For not only has the word of the Lord sounded forth from you in Macedonia and Achaia, but your faith in God has gone forth everywhere, so that we need not say anything.

9 For they themselves report concerning us the kind of reception we had among you, and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God,

10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead, Jesus who delivers us from the wrath to come.

Songs of love:96

【The Faith of a Conqueror】

1. My Lord is risen! He has conquered all.

He's overcome pain and death,

Overcome the world, defeated Satan;

Destroyed the power of sin.

Ha! Ha! Ha! He's risen.

He lives forever more.

Ha! Ha! Ha! My Lord

Has gained vic'try forever!



2. Who shall sep'rate us from the love of Christ?

Shall tribulation, distress,

Or persecution? Or nakedness,

Or famine, peril or sword?

Neither death, nor life, angels, principalities,

Can ever sep'rate us from the love of God?



3. Whether gain or loss, whether right or wrong,

Whether abound or in want,

Whether height or depth, in strength or weakness,

Whatever I encounter,

I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

I firmly believe His grace sufficient for me!



4. O' brothers, arise! O' sisters, be strong!

Never mind all the scars.

Forget things behind and march forward.

Triumph o'er trials of life.

"He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar

In My God's temple, enthrone with Me forever!"



【Eph 6:1-24】

1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

2 “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise),

3 “that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.”

4 Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

5 Bondservants, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, with a sincere heart, as you would Christ,

6 not by the way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but as bondservants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart,

7 rendering service with a good will as to the Lord and not to man,

8 knowing that whatever good anyone does, this he will receive back from the Lord, whether he is a bondservant or is free.

9 Masters, do the same to them, and stop your threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him.

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.

11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.

14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.

16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one;

17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,

18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,

19 and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel,

20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

21 So that you also may know how I am and what I am doing, Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord will tell you everything.

22 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know how we are, and that he may encourage your hearts.

23 Peace be to the brothers, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

24 Grace be with all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with love incorruptible.

【歷代志上29:1-30】

1 大衛王對會眾說：我兒子所羅門是神特選的，還年幼嬌嫩；這工程甚大，因這殿不是為人，乃是為耶和華神建造的。

2 我為我神的殿已經盡力，預備金子做金器，銀子做銀器，銅做銅器，鐵做鐵器，木做木器，還有紅瑪瑙可鑲嵌的寶石，彩石和一切的寶石，並許多漢白玉。

3 且因我心中愛慕我神的殿，就在預備建造聖殿的材料之外，又將我自己積蓄的金銀獻上，建造我神的殿，

4 就是俄斐金三千他連得、精鍊的銀子七千他連得，以貼殿牆。

5 金子做金器，銀子做銀器，並藉匠人的手製造一切。今日有誰樂意將自己獻給耶和華呢？

6 於是，眾族長和以色列各支派的首領、千夫長、百夫長，並監管王工的官長，都樂意獻上。

7 他們為神殿的使用獻上金子五千他連得零一萬達利克，銀子一萬他連得，銅一萬八千他連得，鐵十萬他連得。

8 凡有寶石的都交給革順人耶歇，送入耶和華殿的府庫。

9 因這些人誠心樂意獻給耶和華，百姓就歡喜，大衛王也大大歡喜。

10 所以，大衛在會眾面前稱頌耶和華說：耶和華我們的父，以色列的神是應當稱頌，直到永永遠遠的！

11 耶和華啊，尊大、能力、榮耀、強勝、威嚴都是你的；凡天上地下的都是你的；國度也是你的，並且你為至高，為萬有之首。

12 豐富尊榮都從你而來，你也治理萬物。在你手裡有大能大力，使人尊大強盛都出於你。

13 我們的神啊，現在我們稱謝你，讚美你榮耀之名！

14 我算什麼，我的民算什麼，竟能如此樂意奉獻？因為萬物都從你而來，我們把從你而得的獻給你。

15 我們在你面前是客旅，是寄居的，與我們列祖一樣。我們在世的日子如影兒，不能長存【或作沒有長存的指望】。

16 耶和華我們的神啊，我們預備這許多材料，要為你的聖名建造殿宇，都是從你而來，都是屬你的。

17 我的神啊，我知道你察驗人心，喜悅正直；我以正直的心樂意獻上這一切物。現在我喜歡見你的民在這裡都樂意奉獻與你。

18 耶和華我們列祖亞伯拉罕、以撒、以色列的神啊，求你使你的民常存這樣的心思意念，堅定他們的心歸向你，

19 又求你賜我兒子所羅門誠實的心，遵守你的命令、法度、律例，成就這一切的事，用我所預備的建造殿宇。

20 大衛對全會眾說：你們應當稱頌耶和華你們的神。於是會眾稱頌耶和華他們列祖的神，低頭拜耶和華與王。

21 次日，他們向耶和華獻平安祭和燔祭，就是獻公牛一千隻，公綿羊一千隻，羊羔一千隻，並同獻的奠祭；又為以色列眾人獻許多的祭。那日，他們在耶和華面前吃喝，大大歡樂。

22 他們奉耶和華的命再膏大衛的兒子所羅門作王，又膏撒督作祭司。

23 於是所羅門坐在耶和華所賜的
