Лилия

Has the wine run dry so soon?
I have barely tasted it;
Long before my tongue has quenched its thirst,
Has the wine run dry?

I have spent my final dime
On the thing I thought would last,
But as soon as I held it, it slipped away,
Now Im still so dry.

I have climbed the highest peak;
Took me twenty years to train;
As I reach the top, I looked around and all I saw:
Vanity thats all.

I have probed the greatest minds,
Ive believed in every cause,
But my heart wont hear philosophy or reasonings,
Left again dissatisfied.

Took me too, too long to see
That this worlds all vanity;
Ive been through too much to just pretend its all okay;
Give me reality.

On my deepest, darkest night,
On my knees I cried aloud,
Someone came to me, he changed my
death to eternal life,
Gave me meaning, reason to live.

I will call upon His name,
I will draw this well and drink;
When I call His name, Jesus Lord, the waters flow;
Thats the name I love.

All this time it was just Him,
He has saved the best for last;
Now Ive finally found the wine that wont run dry.
And Hes the sweetest wine of all.

Title: There Are Times
Artist: LSM

1. There are times in my life
When my heart is embittered.
There are questions unanswered,
Yet, You're drawing me
* To enter
Into Your blessed sanctuary
And turning my eyes heavenward,
The questions of constant inquiry
Are changed to these words,
2. "Whom do I have in heaven
But You, dear Jehovah.
My flesh and my heart
Constantly fail,
* But God's still
The strength of my heart and my portion;
To Him forever I'll draw near.
I've made Jehovah my sweet refuge.
So now throughout the years
3. Turn my view to see You,
How I need to see Jesus!!
Though I don't understand
The ways that You take;
* Lord, make me
A babe and suckling always praising.
Enjoying Your worth day by day.
Let each experience constitute me
So Your life I'll display
In every way.

1. Lord, how long, dear Bridegroom,
'Til You come, Lord, how soon?
Don't delay for that coming day, coming day.
Grant me, Lord, to be filled
With You, Lord, every day.
Dearest Lord, take me all the way.
* Come, Lord Jesus,
Please come, dear Bridegroom;
Precious One, come soon, come soon.
Lord, consume me!
Oh Lord, don't let me stray,
Faithful to You all the way.
2. Lord, make home in all my heart
In my secret, deepest parts,
Hidden, Lord, and reserved for You, for You.
You would be preeminent
In all things and all events,
Possessed by Thee to this extent.
3. In my prayer and deepest plea
In my spirit always be
Saturated and soaked with Thee, with Thee.
This would be my life daily.
Every hour expecting Thee,
This I pray, Lord, desperately!
4. The universe, in it we see,
In the sweetest touch of Thee,
You're my choice and my destiny, destiny.
Lord, whate'er the price may be,
Lord, Amen, let it be!
Oh, my Love, please come back quickly!
5. In Your love I am constrained.
What's within, I can't contain.
Lord, I can't any more restrain, restrain.
In Your love, I'll pour on Thee.
And the church, Your Bride to be,
This my choice voluntarily.
