The following songs are some of my all-time favorites.
They aren’t typical, and most churches today have never heard of them.
All of the songs adore Christ. And the lyrics contain depth.
They also give language to the Eternal Purpose, namely, a bride for the Son, a house for the Father, a body for the Son, and a family for the Father, all expressing the glorious riches of the Lord Jesus and embodying the kingdom of the heavenlies come to earth.
For decades, we’ve used these songs in our churches and conferences.
The following recordings were made by some of the believers in an organic expression of the church that I planted.
None of them are professional singers, just simple brothers and sisters who love the Lord and who have been captured by His glory.
Some of the tunes have two separate recordings on the same track (played back to back). So make sure you listen to each song until the very end.
Most of the audio recordings were made by people in the same church.
You will notice a difference, however.
Some recordings were made in a room with high ceilings so the quality is better.
Each of the songs were composed/written/rewritten by many different Christians over a period of many years.
Some of the songs are originals written by people in the church who recorded them.
With the exception of some of the video recordings at the top, none of the audio recordings were done in a studio, and the recordings aren’t professional.
But they are good enough to enjoy and learn the songs.
The only reason why I’m uploading these recordings here is to teach others (including you) the songs.
As you listen, we invite you to worship the Lord with us.
Just click on the name of the song, and it will start playing. (Remember to listen to the whole track since many of the audios contain two versions.)
The lyrics for the audio songs appear below each title.
For most of the videos at the top, the lyrics are displayed on the video.
Your brother,
Frankie V.

Filling our hearts with sweet anticipation,
Making us long for final consummation
When He’ll be All in all.

Who is like unto You (sisters echo)
Oh, Lord among gods (sisters echo)
Who is like unto You (sisters echo)

It’s message is welcome here.
Whatever leads more near to You
Is what we long to hear.
To hear what You demand
Brings joy, not tears or pain.
What does it matter what we lose
When it is Christ we gain?
We’ll leave all things behind
To answer Your wondrous call.
Your voice rings out, “Come follow Me;
Come follow the Lord of all!”
Then what shall we possess;
What riches shall we hold?
To know the Lord is wealth enough
To last for years untold.
We’ll know You as You are,
Not as our minds conceive.
The only limit left for us
Is what we dare believe.
We Keep Falling In Love With You
We keep falling in love with You
Over and over and
Over and over again.
We keep falling in love with You
Over and over and
Over and over again.
You grow sweeter and sweeter
As the days go by.
Oh what a love between the Lord and I!
We keep falling in love with You
Over and over and
Over and over again.
We’ll go up to the mountaintop,
Down to the valley floor,
Pass through the desert and streams.
We’ll go up to the mountaintop,
Down to the valley floor,
Pass through the desert and streams.
We’ll know sorrow and suffering,
We’ll go to the cross.
There’ll be no gain unless there first be loss.
But You’ll never let go;
No, You’ll never let go
Of our hand
(Tune: Sing Hallelujah to the Lord)
This girl has found eternity (sisters echo)
From doubt and fear she’s been set free (she’s been set free)
In her assembled are
Saints like eternal stars
This girl has found eternity (sisters echo)
It’s in eternity she moves (sisters echo)
All of Your purpose she now proves (she now proves)
Your bride a colony
Outside time’s tyranny
It’s in eternity she moves (sisters echo)
Your bride stands high above the world (sisters echo)
Soaring her wings are now unfurled (soaring her wings)
Together we will stand
You are our fertile land
Your bride stands high above the world (sisters echo)
Out of Your side, kind of Your kind (sisters echo)
And with each other we’re entwined (we are entwined)
Your blood flows through our veins
Our hearts all bear Your name
Out of Your side, kind of Your kind (sisters echo)
Out of Your side, kind of Your kind (sisters echo)
(From the play: Les Miserables)
Do you hear the people sing
Those who are standing ‘gainst the night?
It is the music of a people
Who are climbing to the light.
For the wretched of the earth there is a flame that never dies;
Even the darkest night will end, And the sun will rise.
We now live in glorious freedom
In the city of our God.
We have joined the endless ages.
We walk where the martyrs trod.
The chains of religion cannot bind the children of God.
We have joined in that crusade;
We have abandoned all our life.
Somewhere beyond this veil of flesh
There is a realm of endless light.
Do you hear the people sing;
(very quietly) Say, do you hear the distant drums.
It is the future that they bring
When tomorrow comes!
Will you join in our crusade?
Will you be strong and stand with me? Somewhere beyond the barricade
There is a world you long to see!
You can hear the people sing;
YES!… you can hear the distant drums!
It is the future that they bring
When tomorrow comes.
(Repeat “We have joined in that crusade…”)
It is the future that they bring
When tomorrow comes.
What He is, He’s the Firstborn
He’s the First-born of creation
He is the Father’s Blessed Son
They’re in the Spirit, they are One
He’s the Firstborn! Wonderful!
What He is, He’s the river.
He’s the mighty flowing river.
He waters me in a desert land.
He’s my hiding place; He is our man.
He’s the river! Wonderful!
What He is, He’s the vine tree.
He’s the branch, the root of Jesse.
He’s the tree of life: we have the right
To eat of Him and have His life.
He’s the vine tree! Wonderful!
What He is, He’s the Shepherd.
He’s the lamb of God, the off’ring.
We rest and feed in the pasture land.
We strike the blood and eat the lamb.
He’s the Shepherd! Wonderful!
What He is, He’s the Spirit,
He’s the all-inclusive Spirit.
He’s our everything; He’s our all in all.
He is life to us whene’er we call.
He’s the Spirit! Wonderful!
What He is, He’s a Person.
He’s a real and living Person.
He is living now inside of us.
This Person is so glorious.
He’s a Person! Wonderful!
What He is, He’s the Body;
He’s the fullness of the Godhead;
He’s the center of the Father’s plan,
Christ and the church, the one new man.
He is wonderful, wonderful.
He is wonderful, wonderful.
He is wonderful, wonderful.
You are my shepherd I’ll not want
You make me lie in pastures green
You lead me by the still, still waters
Your goodness restores my soul
Chorus:
And I do trust in You alone.
And I do trust in You alone.
For Your endless mercies follow me.
Your goodness has led me home.
You guide my ways in righteousness
And you anoint my head with oil
And my cup, it overflows with joy
I feast on your pure delight.
And though I walk the darkest path
I do not fear the evil one
For you are with me, and your rod and staff
Are the comforts I need to know
There’s A Life That’s Living On The Earth
There’s a life that’s living on the earth today;
The life is Christ in all His own.
He’s alive in Spirit; He’s the life in us.
We’re in the life. We’re on the throne.
Chorus:
We’re on the earth;
We know our life’s not here.
We’re in Christ; we’re not below.
We’re alive to God and not to men;
We’re on the earth, but on the throne.
There’s a message coming from the Church today:
“Have a life, but not your own;
Life not from your body and not from your soul,
Another life that’s from the throne.”
Chorus:
There’s a battle raging on the earth today
To live by life, but not the old;
Life not from your body and not from your soul,
Another life that’s from the throne.
Chorus:
To Jesus every day I find
My heart is closer drawn
You’re fairer than the sons of men
And fresher than the morn;
You’re all that I can say of You
And infinitely more,
And every day You’re dearer
Than You were the day before
Chorus:
The half cannot be fancied
Of such a treasure store,
And every day You’re dearer
Than You were the day before
Your glory broke upon us
When we saw You in the night;
You gave us light and sight
And promised we would be Your wife.
You fill and satisfy our
Longing spirits more and more.
And every day You’re dearer
Than You were the day before.
Chorus:
My life is often dreary,
But You come in sweet release
To take me to a place where
Only God and man can meet.
You give me everything, and yet
There’s always something more.
And every day You’re sweeter
Than You were the day before.
Chorus:
We’re Here To Have A Feast Today
(Tune: When Johnny Comes Marching Home)
We’re here to have a feast today
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We’re here to eat and drink of Christ,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
We’re going to open up our mouths
And let the living Christ come out,
And we’ll all be satisfied
By the Lord in His house,
For we know each member
Has a portion of this Christ,
Hurrah! Hurrah!
And when we come together, we’ll
Display, display
The depths and riches of this Christ,
The newness which is in His life,
And we’ll all be built up
Into the House of God.
(repeat)
And we’ll all be built up
Into the House of God.
Your steadfast love, Oh Lord, never ceases.
Your mercies never come to an end.
They are new every morning
New every morning,
Great is Your faithfulness, Oh Lord.
Great is Your faithfulness.
You may at times, Oh Lord, bring us sorrow,
But You will never cast us away;
You are love and compassion,
Love and compassion,
Great is Your faithfulness, Oh Lord.
Great is Your faithfulness.
You hold us close, Oh Lord, by Your passion;
Through every season You call us Your own.
We are held to Your bosom,
Held to Your bosom,
Great is Your faithfulness, Oh Lord.
Great is Your faithfulness.
(Sing in Rounds)
Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us
Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us
That we should be called the sons of God
That we should be called the sons of God
Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us
Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us
That we should be called the bride of Christ
That we should be called the bride of Christ
Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us
Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us
That we should be called the house of God
That we should be called the house of God
Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us
Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us
That we should be called His masterpiece
That we should be called His masterpiece
(Tune: The Star-Spangled Banner)
Oh, say can you see
Through the eyes of your Lord
What a glorious Church
He is building by His Word?
Called to fellowship sweet,
She now sits at His feet,
Learning how to be one
Being made in His image.
Faithful now she will be.
All creation shall see
The glory of God
And be truly set free
From the bondage of corruption
Into glorious liberty.
Christ in her,
And she in Christ
God’s completed mystery!
Living in the Body of the Lord
(Tune: Walking in a Winter Wonderland)
(Sisters)
Brothers sing, for He’s listening
Share Him now, give expression
A beautiful sight, we’re in Him tonight.
Living in the Body of the Lord
(Brothers)
Her name is Ecclesia
She is made of each other
He sings a love song, as we walk along
Living in the Body of the Lord
(All)
In the Body we all fit together
Formed into the dwelling of the Lord
He asks, “Are you married?” “Yes forever
To You, our Lord, our Savior and our Light”
We go on, never tired
For we’re filled with His fire
We face unafraid, the plans that He’s made
Living in the Body of the Lord.
In the Body we are built together
Formed into the dwelling of the Lord
Knowing that we’re married to our Savior
He’s taking us through realms unexplored
We go on, never tired
For we’re filled with His fire
We face unafraid, the plans that He’s made
Living in the Body of the Lord
We face unafraid, the plans that He’s made
Living in the Body of the Lord
Jesus Lord, I’m captured by your beauty
All my heart to Thee I open wide
Now set free from all religious duty.
Only let me in Thy self abide.
As I’m gazing here upon Thy glory,
Fill my heart with radiance Divine.
Saturate me, Lord, I now implore Thee.
Mingle now Thy Spirit, Lord, with mine.
Shining One, how clear the way inside me.
Son of man, I see Thee on the throne.
Holy one, the flames of God consume me.
Till my being glows with Thee alone.
Lord when first I saw Thee in Thy splendor,
All self love and glory sank in shame.
Now my heart, its love and praises render,
Tasting all the sweetness of Thy name.
Precious Lord, my flask of alabaster
Gladly now I break in love for Thee.
I anoint Thy head, Beloved Master.
Lord, behold, I’ve saved the best for Thee.
Dearest Lord, I waste myself upon Thee.
Loving Thee, I’m deeply satisfied.
Love outpoured from hidden depths within me,
Costly oil, dear Lord, I would provide
My Beloved, come on spices’ mountain.
How I yearn to see Thee face to face.
Drink, dear Lord, from my heart’s flowing fountain.
Till I rest fore’er in thine embrace.
Not alone, Oh Lord do I adore Thee,
But with all the saints as Thy dear Bride.
Quickly come, our love is waiting for Thee.
Jesus Lord, Thou will be satisfied.
Have You Heard Him, Seen Him, Known Him
(Tune: Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing)
Have you heard Him, seen Him, known Him?
Is not yours a captured heart?
Chief among ten thousand own Him
Joyful choose the better part
Idols once they won you, charmed you
Lovely things that turned my face
So it was that sin deceived me
‘Till the Lord outpoured His grace
What has stripped the seeming beauty
From the idols of the earth?
Not a sense of right or duty
But the sight of peerless worth
Not the crushing of these idols
With its bitter pain and smart
But the beaming of His beauty
The unveiling of His heart
Who extinguishes their candle
‘Till they hail the rising sun?
Who discards the garb of winter
‘Till the summer has begun?
‘Tis that look that melted Peter
‘Tis the face that Stephen saw
‘Tis the heart that wept with Mary
Can alone from idols draw
Draw and win and fill completely
‘Till the cup o’erflows the brim
What have we to do with idols
Who have fellowshipped with Him?
(Tune: Oh What a Beautiful Mornin’)
Holy ones do you hear when we’re singing?
It’s the voice of the Lord we are bringing
He gave us His life that we might be His wife
And as she is singing she hears His reply
(brothers) Oh what a beautiful woman
(sisters) Oh what a beautiful Lord
(brothers) My precious bride I adore you!
(sisters) You are my only reward!
In the dark of the night You have found me
With a new love and life You surround me
The hope in me flies like the sun in the skies
It’s the dawn of our love and the earth comes alive!
(brothers) Oh what a beautiful woman
(sisters) Oh what a beautiful Lord
(brothers) My precious bride I adore you!
(sisters) You are my only reward!
(together) You are our only reward!
(Tune: Auld Lang Syne)
I see my Savior in each face,
His love the tie that binds.
Our lives connected by His grace,
His Body, bread, and wine.
The grain is crushed: a brand new race,
His cleansing blood divine;
Our Lord revealed here in this place:
His life now yours and mine.
Our lives connected by His grace,
His Body, bread, and wine;
Our Lord revealed here in this place:
His life now yours and mine
Our Lord revealed here in this place:
His life now yours and mine
Down the mountain the River flows.
It brings refreshing wherever it goes.
Through the valleys and over the fields
The River is rushing and the River is here.
Chorus:
The River of God sets our feet a-dancing.
The River of God fills our hearts with cheer.
The River of God fills our mouths with laughter,
And we rejoice for the River is here.
In His garden His river flows
Yielding gold, pearl, and precious stones.
We are a people who eat and drink.
In His river our beings do sink.
Chorus:
The River of God is teeming with life.
Those who drink are engulfed in Christ.
From the River of living stones
Grows a city, a house for the Lord
Brothers: Hallelujah, I’m free.
Sisters: Hallelujah, I’m free.

Onto a tree.

Sisters: Hallelujah, I’m free!
Brothers: Hallelujah, I’m free.
Sisters: Hallelujah, I’m free.
Brothers: Hallelujah, I’m free.

Sisters: Hallelujah, I’m free!
Brothers: Hallelujah, I’m free.
Sisters: Hallelujah, I’m free.
Brothers: Hallelujah, I’m free.
Sisters: Hallelujah, I’m free.

We’re being changed and rearranged
Unreligiously.

Sisters: Hallelujah, I’m free!
Brothers: Hallelujah, I’m free.
Sisters: Hallelujah, I’m free.
Brothers: Hallelujah, I’m free.

In Christ we hide; we’re in the Bride
Brothers: Hallelujah, I’m free!
Sisters: Hallelujah, I’m free!
Brothers: Hallelujah, I’m free!
Sisters: Hallelujah, I’m free!
Brothers: Hallelujah, I’m free!
Sisters: Hallelujah, I’m free!
(Tune: Somewhere Over the Rainbow)
(Brothers)
My bride, you have been chosen before time
Blessed with all of my glory
Blameless before my sight
(Sisters)
My Lord, you’re all I long for, I need you
All the dreams that I dare to dream
Really are of you
(Brothers) Each day I take you in my arms
(Sisters) And dance with you beyond the stars
(All) Together

True love, joy, and devotion

Kind of my own Kind!
Jesus Christ, Every Morning You Greet Me
(Tune: Edelweiss)
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ,
Every morning You greet me.
God’s pure light, my delight,
You look happy to meet me.
Strong in my spirit
You bloom and grow,
Bloom and grow forever.
Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ,
You’re my Bridegroom forever.
Lord, Most High, how can I
Thank You for all You give me?
Your dear Son left His home,
Gave up heaven to love me.
Over and over I’ll spread the news,
There’s no greater story.
Once You came bearing shame,
Soon You’ll come in Your glory.
I Love My Brothers And My Sisters
I love my brothers and my sisters,
Vessels of my Father’s love.
In them I can see
My Father’s love for me.
I love my brothers and my sisters.
We love our Father all together.
This is how they know we’re His:
Fellowship divine
Outside of space and time.
We love our Father all together.
He loves His Bride, the Ekkesia.
All for her He came to give.
She’s the image of
His passion, life, and love.
He loves His Bride, the Ekklesia
Now I sing to You the song of ages,
Sing Your love and sing Your praises,
Sing to You, Your life now flowing,
Your glory fills the earth.
You’re a river flowing in and through me,
A mountain strong and yet enduring,
A bird that soars to highest places,
A fish that roams the deep.
Chorus:
You are All in All;
You’re beautiful to see.
You are Love,
You are Life,
You’re in me!
You’re a glorious sunrise, a Bridegroom coming,
The stars above, yet never fading.
A flower unfolds Your glorious color,
A garden in full bloom.
You’re a King, who crowns His queen forever,
Young lovers dancing now and ever.
Your passion floods the earth in torrents;
Your love outshines the sun.
Chorus:
(Tune: Annie’s Song)
You fill up my spirit
As I take time to know You
As I stand here inside You
And call on Your name
You come and You love me
You’re my joy and my sorrow
I sit in Your presence
And love You again
My Jesus, I love You
May I always be with You
Let me cry in Your presence
Let me die in Your arms
It’s all my desire
To give my life to You
You fill up my spirit
I’m Yours once again
You fill me with splendor
As I gaze here inside You
I’m lost in Your being
And drowned in Your sight
You come and You love me
I’m caught here so breathless
My heart pounds within me
Right here in Your arms
You hold me between realms
Where the heavens and earth kiss
Time and eternity
Embrace in my heart
And here in Your garden
We’re lost in each other
I’m drowning again, Lord
Right here in Your arms
(Tune: Greensleeves)
(Brothers)
Sweet Bride, My love,
Come away with Me.
Leave your cares behind;
I have set you free.
The winter’s past and the rain is gone.
It is time to arise and go with Me.
Come, come, come away with Me;
Let our hearts be one for eternity.
Come, come, come away with Me,
And we’ll dwell together forever.
(Sisters)
At last, my Lord,
I have heard Your voice.
It is all I hear,
Oh, my heart rejoice!
You bid me come, now I follow You,
It matters not where You take me.
Jesus, my fair Lord and King
To You my heart with joy I bring.
Jesus, I belong with You
For You have desired to love me.
Heaven is my throne and earth is my footstool
Where is the house you will build for me?
Whom of you will hear the cry of my heart?
Where will my resting place be?
Here Oh Lord, have we desired for you a home
Long have we, desired for you to dwell
Here Oh Lord, have we prepared a resting place
Here Oh Lord, we wait for you alone
(Tune: The Bonnie, Bonnie Banks)
Homeward I’m heading. I’m weary and tired.
But a soft breeze tells of Your loving
Then I call Your name
You are nearer than my breath.
And my heart sings the song of Your glory!
And while I am sleeping, You still sing to me.
And the sweet, sweet sound of Your longing
Awakens my love, Lord, I never want to leave.
I am lost in the tides of belonging.
And when I awaken, my heart turns to You
And You are as bright as the dawning!
And we love each other,
As it was meant to be
For You are my light in the morning.
And when I awaken, my heart turns to You
For You are my light in the morning.
Great is God, Great Be His Praises
(Tune: Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee)
Great is God, great be His praises
In His city, in His church.
Beautiful for elevation’
She’s the joy of all the earth.
In her, God is known as refuge,
Though the enemies conspired.
When they saw her, then they marveled,
Shook with fear, and then retired.
(Sisters)
Christ Himself the Church is building;
Hades gates cannot prevail;
Satan’s hosts are gripped with terror,
Pained like women in travail.
Like a wind, the Holy Spirit
Scatters all the shops of night
Brothers, let us trust the Spirit
Not our power, not our might.
(Brothers)
Walk about the church my sisters;
Count her towers, mark them well.
Set your hearts upon her bulwarks,
All her praise your children tell.
God is our God, now and ever,
He our guide even unto death.
While we live our lives are for Him
While we breathe, praise is our breath.
(All)
As Your name, so are Your praises
Unto all the ends of earth.
Righteousness fills up your right hand;
How we marvel at Your worth.
Let Mount Zion joy with laughter;
Let her daughters too be glad
For Your judgments will bring justice,
Let the Church with joy be clad.
Hail to the King (read lyrics with the song)
Abraham’s Son,
Chosen One,
Zion’s Cornerstone
Passover Lamb,
Son of man,
Seated upon Your Throne
Chorus:
Hail to the King (He is our),
Hail to the King (Our only)
Hail to the King of Kings

Oh Promised Seed,
Beneath Your feet,
Sin and death shall fall
Now through us,
Tread the serpent’s head,
‘Til You are all in all

Hail to the King (He is our),

With your lovely Bride,
For all eternity

The Road (fun rehearsal)
Our God is restoring His body
His call sounds to you and to me
“Come out from among the heathen,
Leave all your traditions behind.”
Jesus Christ will be our Center
We will have no headship but His
And He will have the preeminence
And we need no permission from men!
Let’s all make a road to the glory
That has its roots in the heavenlies
Let’s all make a road to the glory
That reaches to a high mountain
And leads us into a city
With the cross as our only banner
And a torch that burns through the ages
We declare that CHRIST IS OUR HEAD!
