He* produced mainly three effects: hatred, terror, adoration. There was not rave of people expressing mild approval.

Shine Jesus Shine (click here to hear on youtube)
Graham Kendrick

Lord, the light of your love is shining
In the midst of the darkness, shining
Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us
Set us free by the truth you now bring us
Shine on me, shine on me

Shine, Jesus, shine
Fill this land with the Father's glory
Blaze, Spirit, blaze
Set our hearts on fire
Flow, river, flow
Flood the nations with grace and mercy
Send forth your word
Lord, and let there be light

Lord, I come to your awesome presence
From the shadows into your radiance
By the blood I may enter your brightness
Search me, try me, consume all my darkness
Shine on me, shine on me

As we gaze on your kingly brightness
So our faces display your likeness
Ever changing from glory to glory
Mirrored here may our lives tell your story
Shine on me, shine on me

I change, he changes not,
The Christ can never die;
His love, not mine, the resting-place,
His truth, not mine, the tie.

Horatius Bonar TCGG p.348

Song of Gomer (click here to hear on youtube)
Michael Card

Don't know what He sees in me, he is spirit, he is free
And I, the wife of adultery, Gomer is my name
Simply more than I can see how he keeps on forgiving me
How he keeps his sanity, Hosea, you're a fool

A fool to love someone like me, a fool to suffer silently
But sometimes through your eyes I see I'd rather be a fool

The fondness of a father, the passion of a child
The tenderness of a loving friend, an understanding smile
All of this and so much more you've lavished on a faithless whore
I've never known love like this before, Hosea you're a fool

This God of yours would not have told
To lift a love that you couldn't hold
And though time and time again I flee
I'm always glad to see you coming after me

Simply more than I can see, how he keeps on forgiving me
The wife of adultery, and Gomer is my name

The lordship of Christ is neither optional nor negotiable.

Come, Now is the time to worship (click here to hear on youtube)
Brian Doerksen by Oslo Gospel Choir

Come, now is the time to worship
Come now is the time to give your heart
Come just as you are to worship
Come just as you are before your God
Come

One day every tongue will confess
You are God
One day every knee will bow
Still the greatest treasure remains for those
Who gladly choose you now

Spiritual purity may be defined as undivided affections, sincerity and genuineness, godly simplicity.

A. W. Pink TCGG p.516

A quite place (click here to hear on youtube)
R. Carmichael by Take6

There is a quiet place
Far from the rapid pace
Where God can soothe my troubled mind

Sheltered by tree and flow´r
There in my quiet hour
With Him my cares are left behind

Whether a garden small
Or on a mountain tall

New strength and courage there I find
Then from this quiet place
I go prepared to face
A new day with love for all mankind

Oh, the joy to see thee reigning,
Thee, my own beloved Lord!
Every tongue thy name confessing,
Worship, honour, glory, blessing,
Brought to thee with glad accord -
Thee, my Master and my Friend,
Vindicated and enthroned,
Unto earth's remotest end
Glorified, adored and owned!

France Ridley Havergal TCGG 564

My Heart Is Filled With Thankfulness (click here to hear on youtube)
Stuart Townend, Keith Getty

My heart is filled with thankfulness
To Him who bore my pain;
Who plumbed the depths of my disgrace
And gave me life again;
Who crushed my curse of sinfulness
And clothed me in His light
And wrote His law of righteousness
With pow'r upon my heart.

My heart is filled with thankfulness
To Him who walks beside;
Who floods my weaknesses with strengths
And causes fear to fly;
Whose ev'ry promise is enough
For ev'ry step I take,
Sustaining me with arms of love
And crowning me with grace.

My heart is filled with thankfulness
To him who reigns above,
Whose wisdom is my perfect peace,
Whose ev'ry thought is love.
For ev'ry day I have on earth
Is given by the King;
So I will give my life, my all,
To love and follow him.

Christ is wisdom for your ignorance, strength for your weakness, righteousness for your guilt, sanctification for your corruption, redemption form all the thraldom of your apostasy.

Richard Fuller TCGG p.356

Essência de Deus (click here to hear on youtube)
João Alexandre

O mundo há de passar e toda profecia
Os dons, as línguas e tudo mais que existir
Porém como aquele que foi
Hoje é e pra sempre há de ser
O amor é a essência de Deus
E pra sempre também vai viver

Bondoso e sem rancor, fiel e consciente
Humilde e sofredor, espera tão somente
Justo e verdadeiro, tudo suporta e tudo crê
Tão puro e perfeito é o amor
Não busca interesse ou favor
Mistério, expressão, vida e luz do Senhor

Se eu pudesse saber destinos ou futuros
Fazer mover as montanhas com minha fé
Se eu pudesse falar qualquer língua
Em qualquer lugar
E desse os meus bens ao mais pobre
Ou morresse em favor de alguém

Se não tivesse amor, de nada valeria
Se não tivesse amor, proveito algum teria
Fria e sem razão a vida, então, passaria
Vazio seria o falar
Um sino que insiste a tocar
Se dentro de mim não valesse o amor

Tags: Portuguese Song

We do not strive to be holy in order to be saved; that is legalism. We do not strive to be holy in order to prove we are saved; that is bondage. We seek to be holy because that is God's purpose in saving us and because we have come to be thankful to him.

Refiner's Fire (click here to hear on youtube)
Brian Doerksen

Purify my heart
Let me be as gold and precious silver
Purify my heart
Let me be as gold, pure gold

Refiner's fire
My heart's one desire
Is to be holy
Set apart for You, Lord
I choose to be holy
Set apart for You, my Master
Ready to do Your will

Purify my heart
Cleanse me from within
And make me holy
Purify my heart
Cleanse me from my sin
Deep within
