For the past months I have been attending an evening service held at Calvary. The people who worship then are called the Evensong Worship Community and we are led in worship by Dave Burkum, the Director of Ministry & Development at Christian Student Fellowship, a college ministry. Many of the songs we sing are written by him and a few of them have been running through my mind lately. As it turns out, most of them are taken right from scripture.

This is the Testimony
(1John 5:11-12)

This is the testimony
God has given us eternal life. (x2)
And this life is in His Son;
He who has the Son has life.
And this life is in His Son;
He who does not have the
Son of God does not have life
This is the testimony.

Until Now
(John 16:24)

Until now . . .
You have not asked for anything in My Name (x2)

Ask . . .
And you will receive
And your joy
Your joy will be complete
Ask . . .
And you will receive
And your joy
Your joy will be complete

Your Word
(Psalm 119:9-11)

Part 1:
How can a young man keep his way pure
By living, by living according to Your Word. (x2)

Part 2:
I seek You Lord, with all my heart
Don’t let me stray from your commands (x2)

Part 3:
I have hidden Your Word,
Hidden Your Word in my heart
That I might not sin against you. (x2)

Closing Tag:
How can a young man keep his way pure?

Putting First the Things That Last
(Matthew 6: 19, 21; Luke 12:32-33)

I’m putting first the things that last (x4)

Do not store up treasures on earth
Where rust and moth destroy
Instead make purses that will never wear out
For where your treasure is
Your heart will also be.

I’m putting first the things that last (x4)
Don’t be afraid, the Father is pleased
To give you His Kingdom
Sell your possessions and give to the poor
For where your treasure is
Your heart will also be.

I’m putting first the things that last (x4)
