Renew!

Lord, you are just and pure
You turn away your face from iniquity.
Lord, you seek the meek and lowly
Who rely only on you.
But in my flesh dwells no good thing
In my own strength I fail forever
Lord, mortify its deeds by your Spirit
And set me free to worship you.

The entanglements I've been in are the idols that enslave
The choices that I've failed in are the chains that ensnare
Almighty Jesus, speak just a word and your servant will be free
Break now my chains by the power of your cross.

Even now does the whole creation writhe in agony
For the deliverance that comes only from you.
The first man brought sin and death to be our masters.
But, Lord you came to cancel their rulership
And emancipate us by the power of your resurrection.

You came in flesh, Lord and took death into your bosom
You triumphed over sin in life,
You vanquished death by your Spirit of holiness
You ascended in glory and sent us the same Spirit
To help us live this life wholly for you.

Oh Lord, to whom true mercy belongs,
You forgave me when my life was a mess
So, help me now to reign in life by your Spirit.
Let not the passions of the moment delude me
Neither let the thoughts of the world confuse me.
Let your righteousness, peace, and joy rule my mind
And my life conform to the rule of heaven.

May I have the wisdom to choose what you want me to choose
May I have the discernment to separate the truth from the lie
May I have the courage to do only that which pleases you
And fix my heart and mind on your cross, on your glory.

Teach me your ways, O Lord, light my paths.
Deep darkness rules over the earth, and my soul stumbles so often.
But your candle burns steadily in my soul; strengthen me by your Spirit.
Forgive me my iniquities.
The promises I make are the promises I break.
But my soul holds on to you.
I love you, Lord, who alone is my salvation.

The frustrations of the moment I bring to you,
The cares of the present I roll on you.
Now, my spirit rejoices in your salvation.
The heavens may pass away in mighty roar and thunder,
The earth may melt like wax in the fire,
But your righteousness, O Lord, is eternal as you
And your mercies endure forever.

Story of the Song Stuti Aradhana Upar Jati Hei

In 1995, while waiting alone in a van for his colleagues who had gone shopping, Wilson Burhankar, presently Senior Associate Pastor at the Fellowship Church of Itarsi, fell into ecstasy remembering the awesome goodness of God in his life. It was his first year in the Seminary as a teacher and his first year as a full-time Worship Leader at the Itarsi Church. He remembered the ill-battered lifestyle that he had lived prior to knowing Christ, the drunken boozes, the street fights, the nights spent singing at religious gatherings, and the continual stress and pain inflicted on his family because of his sin-laden lifestyle. But, one day the Lord changed his life all over. He came to the Seminary and underwent three years of theological training. The greatest surprise came when Dr. Thomas asked him to consider to stay back and minister here as a worship leader. Inside he felt totally unworthy, and yet was confident of the grace of the Lord. As he sat in the van considering these things, the...

Origin of the Poem "When God Wants To Drill A Man"

The poem as quoted in Oswald J. Sander's (not to be confused with Oswald Chambers (1874-1917)) Spiritual Leadership (1967) credits it to an "Author Unknown". The poem as he quotes it is as follows: When God wants to drill a man    And thrill a man    And skill a man, When God wants to mold a man    To play the noblest part; When He yearns with all His heart    To create so great and bold a man That all the world shall be amazed,    Watch His methods, watch His ways! How He ruthlessly perfects    Whom He royally elects! How He hammers him and hurts him,    And with mighty blows converts him Into trial shapes of clay which    Only God understands; While his tortured heart is crying    And he lifts beseeching hands! How He bends but never breaks    When his good He undertakes; How He uses whom He chooses    And with every purpose fuses him;    By ev...
