FAITHFUL TO FINISH
Lord, I bring You this broken life, unable to stand on my own
Once lonely, rejected, and wounded, left out on my own
Lord, I bring You this broken life wounded by choices I’ve made
The way that seemed right was so wrong, I was so far away
But You opened my eyes when I gave You my heart
And You’ve picked up each broken part
You are faithful to finish what You started
The good work You began, You’ll complete
I am not what I was when I started And I’m not what I’m going to be
Your Word is forever established; You are faithful to carry me through
Every year, every day, every hour You are making me more like You
Lord, some days I feel like giving in To throw in the towel and give up
Unable to feel Your Presence; to feel Your love
But the Truth is not based on my feelings
I choose to stand by faith That You are more than able to bring me
The rest of the way
You are faithful to finish what You started
The good work You began, You’ll complete
I am not what I was when I started And I’m not what I’m going to be
Your Word is forever established You are faithful to carry me through
Every year, every day, every hour You are making me more like You
You are faithful to finish what You started
The good work You began, You’ll complete
I am not what I was when I started And I’m not what I’m going to be
Your Word is forever established; You are faithful to carry me through
Every year, every day, every hour You are

The Tide Of Your Love
As I come into Your Presence Bowing down in humble reverence
The holy Passion of Your Essence Drives my longing heart deeper still
Far beyond the “status quo” Deep within the River’s flow
To quench this thirst I know Only You can fill
So I plunge into the tide of Your love
Currents of Your mercy are washing over me
So I plunge into the tide of Your love
Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty
Diving to Your depths of Truth and grace
How I long for the day when I see Your face
Oh how I long to feel true love’s embrace
Deep within the tide of Your love
Deep within the tide of Your love
As I come now to Your Presence You now lead me to green pastures
Breaking free from all my past years I surrender all I am to You now
You alone are God Creator You alone, the heart Remaker
Create in me a heart of flesh Take away this heart of stone
So I plunge into the tide of Your love
Currents of Your mercy are washing over me
So I plunge into the tide of Your love
Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty
Diving to Your depths of Truth and grace
How I long for the day when I see Your face
Oh how I long to feel true love’s embrace
Deep within the tide of Your love
Deep within the tide of Your love
As I come into Your Presence Bowing down in humble reverence
The holy Passion of Your Essence Drives my longing heart deeper still
Far beyond the “status quo” Deep within the River’s flow
To quench this thirst I know Only You can fill
So I plunge into the tide of Your love
Currents of Your mercy are washing over me
So I plunge into the tide of Your love
Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty
Diving to Your depths of Truth and grace
How I long for the day when I see Your face
Oh how I long to feel true love’s embrace
Deep within the tide of Your love
Deep within the tide of Your love
As I come now to Your Presence You now lead me to green pastures
Breaking free from all my past years I surrender all I am to You now
You alone are God Creator You alone, the heart Remaker
Create in me a heart of flesh Take away this heart of stone
So I plunge into the tide of Your love
Currents of Your mercy are washing over me
So I plunge into the tide of Your love
Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty
Diving to Your depths of Truth and grace
How I long for the day when I see Your face
Oh how I long to feel true love’s embrace
Deep within the tide of Your love
Deep within the tide of Your love

BEACON OF TRUTH
I’ve walked down the halls of religion
Grew up in the shadows of traditions of men
Thinking I was one of the upright
Believing I was truly abiding in Him
Then Your Truth came alive in Your Word and Your witness
Your Spirit pierced through with the Light of Your love
Showing the way—I must trust in Your grace
Flooding my life with Your love
You’re my Beacon of Truth in a sea of deceptions
A light to my way past the doctrines of men
A Bright Ray of Hope freed from temporal delusion
You’re my Savior and Lord, My God and my Friend
I’ve read through the Bible’s pages
Only to back up the opinions of men
But then Your Holy Spirit led me
To go and search through the scriptures again
Then Your Word came alive through Your life giving Spirit
The darkness fell off like scales from my eyes
Showing anew, the Word from God’s point of view
Opening my eyes to see
You’re my Beacon of Truth in a sea of deceptions
A light to my way past the doctrines of men
A Bright Ray of Hope freed from temporal delusion
You’re my Savior and Lord, My God and my Friend
Jesus, Light of my salvation
Jesus, Way and Truth and Life
Jesus, Lord of all creation
Jesus, I lift Your Name on high
You’re my Beacon of Truth in a sea of deceptions
A light to my way past the doctrines of men
A Bright Ray of Hope freed from temporal delusion
You’re my Savior and Lord, My God and my Friend
I’ve walked down the halls of religion
Grew up in the shadows of traditions of men
Thinking I was one of the upright
Believing I was truly abiding in Him
Then Your Truth came alive in Your Word and Your witness
Your Spirit pierced through with the Light of Your love
Showing the way—I must trust in Your grace
Flooding my life with Your love
You’re my Beacon of Truth in a sea of deceptions
A light to my way past the doctrines of men
A Bright Ray of Hope freed from temporal delusion
You’re my Savior and Lord, My God and my Friend
I’ve read through the Bible’s pages
Only to back up the opinions of men
But then Your Holy Spirit led me
To go and search through the scriptures again
Then Your Word came alive through Your life giving Spirit
The darkness fell off like scales from my eyes
Showing anew, the Word from God’s point of view
Opening my eyes to see
You’re my Beacon of Truth in a sea of deceptions
A light to my way past the doctrines of men
A Bright Ray of Hope freed from temporal delusion
You’re my Savior and Lord, My God and my Friend
Jesus, Light of my salvation
Jesus, Way and Truth and Life
Jesus, Lord of all creation
Jesus, I lift Your Name on high
You’re my Beacon of Truth in a sea of deceptions
A light to my way past the doctrines of men
A Bright Ray of Hope freed from temporal delusion
You’re my Savior and Lord, My God and my Friend

When God Comes In Revival By Charles G. Finney
A revival breaks the power of the world and of sin over Christians. It brings them to such vantage ground that they get a fresh impulse toward heaven. They have a new foretaste of heaven and new desires after union with God; and the charm of the world is broken, and the power of sin overcome.
When the churches are thus awakened and reformed, the reformation and salvation of sinners will follow, going through the same stages of conviction, repentance, and reformation. Their hearts will be broken down and changed. Very often the most abandoned profligates are among the subjects. Harlots and drunkards and infidels and all sorts of abandoned characters are awakened and converted. The worst among human beings are softened, and reclaimed, and made to appear as lovely specimens of the beauty of holiness.
"O Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known, in wrath remember mercy" ( Hab. 3:2).
