Your love for the city
Full of sin, what a pity
When You arrive they don't know who You are
You came unto Your own
God's love will now be shown
They don't know You're the bright and morning star
So blinded by their law
Their hope will burn like straw
We know what's right
We'll stand and fight, it's time to rise
Come on and see
The victory before your eyes
Your death for the city
So complete, it wasn't pretty
They didn't understand what You had planned
You arose three days later
Death was strong, but You were greater
Still those closest to You could not stand
So blinded by their pain
Didn't know what they would gain
If you know so well the right thing to do
For you not to do it is wrong
Yesterday is gone, now whatever you do
I'll take the high road,
There's nothing stopping me now.
I like to gamble with my gang,
And there's no turning back.
I'm in the big time,
No one can deny it.
I'm playing for high stakes.
I'm on the attack.
Don't tell me there's no problem
If I gain the world and lose my soul.
Don't want to hear about eternity.
I live for today, this hour alone.
When the clock strikes,
The clock strikes midnight.
When the clock strikes,
Time's run out on you.
When the clock strikes,
The clock strikes midnight,
The Lord's going to give to each man his due.
The sun is rising,
It's high in the sky.
I burn the candle at full,
It's lighting up the night.
Don't try to cross me,
'Cause I'll throw you in
With dirty people,
Sail the winds of time
See your life as it unwinds
Hold up the looking glass
Look inside and see the past
If not a word was said
Did they see Him in your head
If His name was never heard
Through your life did they wanna learn?
Oh, did His love show
Oh, did anybody really know?
The only Jesus they'll ever see
Is the One in you and me
The only Jesus they will know
Is the One that lives inside our souls
Been too much wasted time
Look in your heart, I'll look in mine
We all want what's real
But sometime's it's so hard to feel
Oh, I see the world out there
Oh, it takes someone who really cares
The only Jesus they'll ever see
Is the One in you and me
The only Jesus they will know
Is the One that lives inside our souls
Not what we say but what we do
Are the widow's where your life shines through
So many different paths to follow.
Are you stumbling in the night
It's not worth the cost to be eternally lost
Satan is the father of lies
Follow him you'll surely die
You need to be told come out of the cold
Yeah
There'll be no one to blame if you play his game.
Jesus is king he's why we sing
Who will you follow
Satan or The Author of Life
Jesus paid the price
God made the sacrifice for you
Do you feel like you're losing the war
Jesus said, "I am the Door"
And you'll fall away if you disobey
Day by day you are making a choice
Listening to someone's voice
Will you be defiled or be God's child
There'll be no one to blame if you play his game
Jesus is king he's why we sing
Who will you follow
Satan or The Author of Life
Jesus paid the price
You can feel the cold of a heart locked up in ice
Addicted to wine and women
Seems there's no escape from the vise
But still a higher power comes down
Like a chisel on cold steel
It's the love of God knockin' on the door
With a love that's oh so real
When the walls tumble down
There's no stoppin' the love from comin' in
When the walls tumble down
The new life will begin
Now you have a chance to lay it on the line
They're all playin' their cards
But they're runnin' out of time
Still the love of God keeps knockin'
Lick the hammer hits the nail
And the light through you can reach the world
Well the day is comin', when a child will lead
Every beast of the field with a tender voice he sings
And then the lion and lamb will lay down beside
The promise of a thousand years and the reign of Christ
No evil in sight
When he comes in glory, all the little stories
That we heard as children are gonna help us stand
With the word that's spoken, all sin's power is broken
Then that's when he'll bring us to another land
If ever there's comin' in a wink of an eye
The Boss Man knows no the angels nor you and I
And if you ever have a doubt that holds you down
Or whenever you need a twist or a turn around
And Christ's love is found
When he comes in glory, all the little stories
That we heard as children are gonna help us stand
With the word that's spoken, all sin's power is broken
Then that's when he'll bring us to another land
Julie my child
Why do you run?
Why have you turned away from me?
You say it's hard
To live perfectly
And all you can see
Is how you fail me constantly
You fail me constantly
You fail me constantly
My blood has cleaned you
Your sins are remembered no more
So come on, and walk with me
Julie my child
I've set you free
For I want you to be with me eternally
I love you so
I want you to know
That I'm the one who's calling you home
Calling you home
Calling you home
My blood has cleaned you
Your sins are remembered no more
So come on, and walk with me
My blood has cleaned you
Your sins are remembered no more
Believe, bereave, belong
Become, betray, be told
Beat down, beat back, behold
Defame, degrade descend
Deny, deprive, depend
Delude, design, defend
Why you worried, oh why?
You can get your balance
Gimme one good reason
To give you what you don’t deserve
The weight of sin is screaming
I grew up, here in America
Where good people worked hard
And everyone got along
I thought things were fine, here in America
But I was wrong
It seems it's all black and white, here in America
Either the color of money, or the color of your skin
Used to know wrong from right, here in America
And we will again
We can all live together
With Christ as our Lord
And us united in Him
We will all live forever
When the King of kings comes again
Through the eyes of our God, I see America
With no black and no white
None in bondage or free
Because Jesus is Lord, here in America
And He'll always be - Oh yeah!
We can all live together
There's a place I know
Everybody's got to go
No lies, no crime
Just love all the time
Motor running we leave today
It ain't heaven but it's on the way
Salt city
Salt city
You're glory bound in this town
Salt city
Sunshine so bright
All day, all night
No need to wait
It's right, no mistakes
So come on!
I saw your heart in the lost and found
I told the man I got friends downtown
In salt city
Salt city
You're glory bound in this town
Salt city
Can't decide gonna ride the fence
Live a lie is my best defense
Never know, the way is hard to pick
People say I'm a rubber neck
Oh, it's not that I don't care
I do my best ain't that good enough
I do my share as much as anyone
Don't understand why it's got to be
The straight and narrow's not enough for me.
Oh, it's not that I don't care
Why, tell me why do I have to decide
I always hide behind my state of mind
So easy to hide
Another day without sacrifice
Another way I don't pay the price
Don't look at me when you lay the blame
Livin' holy's just another game
Oh, sometimes I don't care
Why do I need to decide
I hide behind the state of my mind
So easy to hide
Why, tell me why do I have to decide
I always hide behind my state of mind
You say that you're so lonely
Ya say that you're afraid
Right now you are wondering
What gonna come today?
Listen!
Well one thing I am sure of
One things that is meant to be
In the middle of this madness
He is there for me
Right before your eyes
Standing right in front of you
Right before your eyes
The promises of God come true
Now every time you worry
And every time you're feeling blue
He is more than able
And he will see you through
Listen!
His love is never ending
His mercy cannot every fail
For God you see is made up
Of these because we fail
Right before your eyes
Standing right in front of you
Right before your eyes
Our God is not gonna drag us
Our God is not gonna oush
He knows what it takes to get to you.
Our God is there to heal us
Our God is here to restore
He sees all the little things we do
Now!
I gotta start
Now!
I'm gonna say it out loud
Now!
I'm gonna run to the one who loves me
Our God will not betray us
Our God is not gonna leave
He hears when we cry to be set free
Our God is there to protect us
Our God is here, oh I know
He'll do the same for you, what he did for me
Ow, yes!
Now!
Gonna scream it out loud
Now!
He died for me
Now!
I'm gonna live for him
Now!
I've lost all fear of eternity
When all your fears fall on you
You know there's hell to pay
When all the years of sinning
His blood will wash away
I must have been crazy, I must have been blind
To just keep walking in the darkness
But you've been patient all of this time
Well now I'm making you a promise
I'll be with you the rest of my life
No other love can make me feel the way you do
No other love can keep the stars shining
I'll never walk away, I'm on my knees this day
I'm gonna love you like no other love
You opened your heart up, you opened my eyes
You never quit you never gave in
I was too selfish to realize
It was my life that you were saving
I wanna thank you for the rest of my days
No other love can make me feel the way you do
No other love can keep the stars shining
I'll never walk away, I'm on my knees this day
I'm gonna love you like no other love
I give everything to you
No, it'll never be enough
Oh, you set my soul on fire
When I'm broken, the setting sun finds me alone.
My soul cries out to you, come and touch this heart of stone.
Like the rain in spring time, I just need to be with you.
Nothing else can heal me, no nothing else will do.
There are things that try to take me for a ride.
Nothing else on earth can please me.
I need you by my side.
My love! You keep me from falling.
My love! You lift me up when I'm down.
My love! You hear my cry when I'm calling.
My love, you changed my life. You turned it all around.
Always and forever, you're the one that I come home to.
No one in this fallen world could take my love from you.
When I think about the time you loved me through my pain,
Have you heard about the king of angels
Have you heard about the one who sent his son to you
He's the one who rides the ancient skies
He's the lord of all and he's making all things new
I keep lookin' up in the sky
I'm gonna fly away
Sing whoa, if you're waiting for the king of angels, sing
Whoa if you're waiting for the love that Jesus brings
Sing whoa, if you're waiting for the king of angels, sing
Whoa
Have you heard about the king of angels
Have you heard that he's the one who sent his son to you?
He's the one who lives beyond the grave
He's the one who lives to give new life to you
I keep watching to see if today
I'm gonna fly
Sing whoa, if you're waiting for the king of angels, sing
Whoa if you're waiting for the love that Jesus brings
Sing whoa, if you're waiting for the king of angels, sing
In a warm house, your heart is cold
A young girl feeling so alone
Your family there, they say they care
They don't understand the burdens you bear
There in the quiet, He whispers your name
Oh, if you answer, you won't be the same
In His hands, there is comfort
In His hands, there's everlasting love
In His hands, He will hold you
In His hands, He will lift you up
A young man putting on a bluff
'Cause late a night you just wanna die
Alone in your room you hide away and cry
There in the quiet, He whispers your name
There are times I get so discouraged
There are days I feel so alone
There's been times when looking for answers
You would call and I'd hang up the phone
When I get to the place that makes me bend my knee
I know I've got to stay in your presence until I'm free
I keep praying that I'll never give in
To all the fears and the doubts that I feel
I keep praying that I'll never give up
Cause I know in my heart that your power is real
Days go by and people are hurting
Lost in sin, they need to see you
How your heart aches for the lonely
If only we would reach up to you
When I get to the place that makes me bend my knee
I know I've got to stay in your presence until I'm free
I keep praying that I'll never give in
To all the things that I see in my way
I keep praying and I'll never give up
A little boy, a lost voice
Walking in the deep dark wasteland
Look up high, in the sky
A new world of love and happiness
I heard a shout, that said out loud
Climb aboard the train to Jordan
Whoa
We got a home in heaven
Whoa
Someday I'm going
The love I found, it showered down
Could finally see where I was going
Words so true, the old made new
It's a new life I'm living
Angel voices shout for joy
Climb aboard the train
Whoa
We got a home in heaven
Whoa
Someday I'm going
Whoa
With this love I'm seeing
Whoa
It's a brand new...yeah!
It's a brand new chance for me, oh yeah!
Mmm he's got a brand new home for you
Angel voices are shouting 'Climb on board this train!'
We got a home in heaven
Whoa
Someday I'm going
Whoa
We got a home in heaven
Whoa
One day I'm going!
Are you lonely, feeling no one's on your side?
Are there things you think you need to hide?
I've been with you, waiting from the very start,
For you to open up your heart.
I will give you back the wasted years.
With my hand, I'll dry your tears.
I will give you all that you will need.
Will you give your life for me?
Are you hurting? Will you let me have your pain?
Let me wash away the guilty stain.
I am waiting for you to call my name.
Then you will never be the same.
I am the door to Heaven.
Why would you wait another day?
How could you say tomorrow,
When I'm asking you today?
I will give you back your wasted years.
With my hand, I'll dry your tears.
You will never be alone again.
I hear the sound of a trumpet,
I can see the Glory of God.
The tears have been dried from my eyes,
Feel warm in the presence of love.
Children march as they lead us down streets of gold.
Everlasting peace within us,
The face of the Lord we will ever behold.
Heaven's calling tonight!
Now won't you turn from darkness to light.
Heaven's calling tonight!
I know my worries are over,
From now on my Jesus will reign.
Old things are gone forever, my friend.
A crown of life is what I've gained.
I see a king on a white horse riding with power untold.
The Lord God will be our leader.
The Lamb that was slain, forever sits on a throne.
Can you hear it? Can you see it?
Children singing songs of great joy,
Forever with Jesus,
It's a Friday night I'm ready to party
Getting' down with the guys 'til half past three
Crusin' for trouble, action for fun
But who's foolin' who we forget God's Son
There is way that seems right to a man
That many have traveled before
You must choose between the jaws of hell
Or find life through the narrow door
He is the rock
He is the rock
He is the rock
On which I stand
Losin' direction, you're a pawn of the night
Played with the darkness you hid from the light
You're searching for heaven but your body is sick
When will you realize you fell for the trick
There is way that seems right to a man
That many have traveled before
You must choose between the jaws of hell
Or find life through the narrow door
He is the rock
He is the rock
He is the rock
Some people said He was a prophet
He was a teacher of the law
Was He the one and only Son of God?
Did they understand who He said He was at all?
Won't be no doubtin'
Cause in the end we all will shout
That's good, good enough
That's good enough for me
Well that's good, good enough
That's good enough for me
Now if you think He was a legend
Well listen, I've got news for you
His story would've died a long time ago
One day soon we'll see His words were true
Won't be no doubtin'
Cause in the end we all will shout
He's the Rock of Ages, the Cornerstone
A sure foundation
Every moment, even though you're gone
I don't have to fear
'Cause it's very clear, there's a reason
And I know for sure, in a season,
Time will bring the cure
For I am strong and you're the Prince of Peace
Just the other day, my dear friend passed away
Now I'm here today. And I know I,
I know I need to pick up and carry on
Carry on
Won't be long until I see him, yeah!
And every moment, even though you're gone
I don't have to fear
'Cause it's very clear, there's a reason
And I know for sure, in a season
Time will bring the cure
Where you are is where we all long to be
The cage will soon be opened and we will all be free
Goodbye cruel world
Oh yeah
Goodbye cruel world
Oh, yes
Now I'm trying, oh to face the truth
And really see
Oh I know I need to be set free
From all the things overwhelming to me
Where you are is where we all long to be
The cage will soon be opened and we will all be free
Goodbye cruel world
Oh yeah
Goodbye cruel world
Oh, yes
Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure, to give to you, the new Whitecross, Unveiled.
Take it away, fellas.
Gone away far away
Your last goodbye today
The demands of life cost pain
Once again you're leaving me
All alone tonight
Oh no, please don't run and hide
Faraway places make me dream on
Scheme on
These places show me night
Faraway places make me uptight
All right
It's time for me to fly
Now today I think I know just
What you think of me
And it hurts to face the truth
Don't you know where I went wrong
Sometimes I can't see
The forest or the tree
Faraway places leave me in doubt
Without
In my heart I can't let go
Faraway places keep me under
Wonder
I don't know just what I need
I'm feeling lazy or just tired of everything
The days go by so fast that
I'm spinning crazy
I just wanna run away
This heart of mine is breakin'
It's time to see if I can
I got to break away
Each time I try to find out
Just what it takes to fill this
Emptiness inside
I do believe that there's a better way
And if we find it we will want to stay
I do believe it's still a mystery
How one man changed the course of history
I sometimes wonder if I could ever point
The way to someone else in need
If there's a place of shelter
A place of paradise for all eternity
This one man left all heaven's glory for you
This one man came and died but rose again
This one man will soon come again
I do believe that there's a better way
And if we find it we will want to stay
I do believe it's still a mystery
How one man changed the course of history
Used to live my life for fortune
Used to live my life for fame
Always money in my pocket
I just loved playing the game
Strutting down the street's of the city
When Jesus called my name
He said, come follow me
Your life will never be the same
Never
Never the same
Never
Never the same
Never, never!
All I need is you
All I need is you
Now I live each day for Jesus
For soon he will return
He's bringing his reward with him
Satan, he's going to burn
We will all stand before him
On the judgement day
He promised that he will defend us
He'll carry us all away
He'll carry us all away
He'll carry us all away
He'll carry us all away
Away, away!
All I need is you
So many choices for a man to make,
So many ways that he can go,
But all the kingdoms in a thousand worlds,
Could not replace the pease I know.
The things of earth can never satisfy
The hunger deep in me.
Behold the Lamb of God,
Reaching out His nail-scarred hand.
He wants to lift you up,
Give you strength so you can stand.
It's only natural for a man to dream,
To reach for stars above himself.
My life was cluttered with shattered dreams,
Before I learned to seek your will.
You are the rain that falls on thirsty ground
My friend told me I got such nerve
Will I ever get what I deserve?
He said that I was no naïve
If I thought God’s love was really free.
Oh what an amazing love
So much more than just enough
I found an amazing love,
Can’t believe how it lifts me up
My friend was working overtime
He believed it was more of an uphill climb
Why did he try to undermine
He should have took to heart the bottom line.
Oh what an amazing love
So much more than just enough
I found an amazing love,
Can’t believe how it lifts me up
Why do we hate? Why do we kill?
Why do we meet God in our games like angry children playing king of the hill?
Why do we lie? Why do we cheat?
Quinton Gibson and Scott Wenzel
The day that you decide to follow
And choose to end the war within
If your present situation is a constant aggravation
You feel so trapped in your sin.
Just remember that a battle makes us stronger
Even though we feel we can't fight any longer
If we just believe his words we will see his power
Grace will find us in that hour
It's already done
It's already won
It's already done
It's already won
If you decide tonight to follow
Count the cost and take a ride
On a train that's on a run
Forever circling the Son
Always by his side
You can lose all of your yesterdays in heaven
All the powers in your past are laid to rest
If you ever wanted out
So bad it made you shout
Believe when you face the test
It's already done
It's already won
It's already done
It's already won
It's already done
It's already won
It's already done
Sometimes I feel alone
I wonder where You are
Sometimes I forget
That I am safe within Your arms
Then I realize that You won't leave
You're there for me, I just got to believe
You're my Lord
I love You so
You're my Lord
I want the world to know
I'll never be ashamed
After all You've done for me
Peer pressure has no power
Your love has set me free
I'll just stand my ground
I know that's right
It's what Your power I fight this fight
All my friends, they my walk out
That's okay, I know what life's about
Yeah all my friends, well they may walk out
The Lord is my strength and my shield
I've learned I need to trust in him
When things just don't go right
And I think I've lost the fight
I remember the Lord is on high
When I'm feeling down with darkness all around
Jesus says to me. Jesus says to me
Remember just one thing, you're mine
Rest in the Lord, bring all your cares to him
For oh, how he cares for you
And he will give you joy
And peace you never knew
And right now he is waiting for you
When you're feeling down with darkness all around
Jesus says to you. Jesus says to you
Let my love on through cause you're mine
When you have a need, remember our creator
Our father is still on the throne
He said He'd always love us
And that he would come back for us
And take us to our heavenly home
When we're feeling down with darkness all around
Jesus says to you, and Jesus says to me
If you sometimes cry out in the night
And in the darkness you can't see the light
You feel there's nothin' more to do
You think all hope is gone for you
And all you've wanted was peace of mind
Your pursuit of happiness has robbed ya, robbed ya blind
Just remember what you heard before
When your heart of stone becomes an open open open door
There's peace in the presence of the Lord
You will find it there
Take His hand, He will lead ya to the joy
You will find it there
I searched this land from shore to shore
My quest for self it don't mean that much anymore no no
In this path that I have taken
Ooo so many times I've been forsaken
And all my dreams that have been shattered
Have caused me to see what really matters
Just remember what you heard before
When your heart of stone becomes an open door
Ooo there's peace in the presence of the Lord
You will find it, you will find it there
Take His hand, He will lead you to the joy
You will find it there
There's peace, peace in the presence of the Lord
You will find it there
Just take His hand, He will lead you to the joy
Oh you will find it there, you will find it there
Never try to hurt anyone.
I try to keep to myself.
I'm all business, no time for love.
Emotions gather dust on the shelf.
Fast dealin', no time for feelin'.
All is well, I'm grabbing my dream.
I work hard at building my kingdom.
I don't care what tomorrow will bring.
All I've ever dreamed of is right in front of my eyes.
Without your love, I have nothing.
Without your love, nothing will stand.
Without your love, I have nothing.
Without your love, I'm such a miserable man.
Living high, up on that hill.
Got it all, so I've been told.
I've built a kingdom of diamonds and gold.
At night, it all turns so cold.
Shade my eyes to all that's around me,
Except that star I've needed to reach.
To late, my fate now surrounds me,
For all I've gained, I couldn't keep.
I wonder why I've waited so long
To see if you're what I'm looking for.
All the time I've wasted is gone.
I don't know what I need
I'm feeling lazy or just tired of everything
The days go by so fast that
I'm spinning crazy
I just wanna run away
This heart of mine is breakin'
It's time to see if I can
I got to break away
Each time I try to find out
Just what it takes to fill this
Emptiness inside
I do believe that there's a better way
And if we find it we will want to stay
I do believe it's still a mystery
How one man changed the course of history
I sometimes wonder if I could ever point
The way to someone else in need
If there's a place of shelter
A place of paradise for all eternity
I do believe that there's a better way
And if we find it we will want to stay
I do believe it's still a mystery
How one man changed the course of history
This one man left all heaven's glory for you
This one man came and died but rose again
You always say you wanna follow me
But when I call you're never around
Talk is cheap. It's time for action.
This time I'm gonna pin you down.
I wanna see your faith on the line.
You've got to take it to the limit
'Cause my love is all you need.
Take it to the limit
And by my side you'll always be.
I could provide everything you lack.
But you keep tryin' to carry the world on your back.
I wanna see your faith on the line.
You've got to take it to the limit
'Cause my love is all you need.
Take it to the limit
And by my side you'll always be.
You talk in circles but You can't see.
You'll find your freedom
When you start trustin' in Me.
I wanna see your faith on the line.
You've got to take it to the limit
'Cause my love is all you need.
Take it to the limit
Another day, another dollar in my hand.
Working hard to make it, I give it all I can.
I got a lot of dreams, and a long way to go,
But I know that God provides, if I pray and let him know
'Cause I'm a simple man, and I love the Lord.
I know that He'll provide my needs.
Yes I'm a simple man, and I love the Lord.
His love is everything to me.
There's a house on the corner, with a light I can see,
And standing in the door is the only girl for me.
The reason that she loves me, and we walk hand in hand
Is because I'm a Christian, and we both know where we stand.
I'm a simple man, and I love the Lord.
We know that He'll provide our needs.
Yes I'm a simple man, and I love the Lord.
His love is everything to me.
And there's a few things that I'd like to say to you.
There still is one thing that I need.
Someday, when the end of my road has come,
I hope to see my Lord say "Thanks for a job well done."
Now if you see my life as happy as can be,
The mystery is not so hard. It's a gift, and it's free.
This gift is in a book my Lord wrote for me.
You can have it too, and then you will see
Why I'm a simple man, and I love the Lord.
His gift is everything I need.
Yes I'm a simple man, and I love the Lord.
His love is everything to me.
Not everyone who calls Him Lord
Is gonna walk down those streets of gold.
Many will say, Look at what I did.
He'll say, You were neither hot nor cold.
A tree that bears bad fruit will burn,
I want you to be without blame.
Your foundation better be on the rock,
We'll see who's playing games, gonna be a
Shakedown, I want to know where you stand.
Shakedown, Will you look to me and take my hand?
Shakedown, I want to know where you stand.
Shakedown.
Where your treasure is there your heart will be,
Can't trust your wealth or your color TV.
Can't serve God and money too,
Can't get to heaven by what you do.
He said I am the Way to God,
You'll have to go through me.
If you're not with me, then you're against me,
I go my own way and cover my tracks
Instead of chasin and checking the facts
I do believe my time is running short
It's hard to tell just who's who anymore
So many people come and knock on my door
Many claim that they are the One
Somebody told me to reach for the Son
I'm throwing it all away
So many times I've seen your love
I know it must be real
Well, I've got to keep moving
Gotta look for what's real
But seein' is believin'
I gotta know which way to go
Time and again someone's turned me around
But left me hanging with no truth to be found
I see your life and I wonder who's your master?
Still I'm wandering around in a daze
Can't seem to find my way out of this haze
This old world's a merry go round
Won't someone show me to solid ground?
I'm throwing it all away
So many times I've seen your love
I know it must be real
Well, I've got to keep moving
Gotta look for what's real
But seein' is believin'
The rich man lived in luxury
He was always wantin' more
And Lazarus the beggar
Laid at the gate covered with sores
It wasn't long and the beggar died
The angels carried him to Abraham's side
When the rich man died he felt the torment of hell
He looked up, his voice rang like a bell
Give me one more chance to do things right
Just one more chance, I'll follow the light
But there's no second chances, the Host of Heaven cried
No second chances, you listened to lies
The rich man, oh, he couldn't go back
To warn his brothers of his fate
Now we've been given the charge
It's up to us, now don't hesitate
Are you livin' in the comfort zone
Storin' up treasures that soon'll be gone
Or tellin' your brother that Jesus died
You live your life as if you really didn't care
You're on a train heading straight for despair
You hate your past, the future's a joke
The only thing you want is another line of coke
Doing drugs, you feel the need to get high
One more drink did you ever wonder why
You say you're lonely, you wanna die
Become fed up with living a lie
But Jesus said, "I do care"
Jesus said "I'll be there"
Looking for a reason
Tired of the same old lies
Looking for a reason
Someone to make me wise
I know a way, yes I do
His loving arms, oh, they are reaching out to you
He knocks at your heart's door
He longs to come in
And when He forgives. He forgives all your sin
Jesus said, "I do care"
Jesus said "I'll be there"
Looking for a reason
Tired of the same old lies
Looking for a reason
Someone to make me wise
Looking for a reason
I don't need no more lies
'Cause I got me a reason
I'm gonna keep on trustin in God's son.
Lord I need you.
I'm gonna keep on trustin in God's son.
Lord I need you.
On a day like today
I know I need to pray.
So many lives I've hurt.
I'm so glad I have your word.
I'm gonna keep on.
Got my hold on tight.
I know who I believe in.
I won't give up the fight.
I'm gonna keep on trustin in God's son.
Lord I need you.
I'm gonna keep on trustin in God's son.
Lord I need you.
On a night like tonight
I wanna do what's right.
No matter what goes on,
You are my strength, my song.
Yeah, I'm gonna keep on.
Got my hold on tight.
I know who I believe in.
I won't give up the fight.
I'm gonna keep on.
Got my hold on tight.
I know who I believe in.
I won't give up the fight.
Hear what I say.
Come on, yeah.
And all the while it seems I've lost
To risk in me just to count the cost, yeah!
I'm gonna keep on.
Got my hold on tight.
I know who I believe in.
I won't give up the fight.
I'm gonna keep on.
Got my hold on tight.
I know who I believe in.
I won't give up the fight,
Give up the fight,
Give up the fight.
Through the fields of soul a river runs concealed
As cold as any bone
Twist and curve it wraps the root of every nerve
And it numbs it like a stone
And it dulls the senses
And it drowns defenses
And it weakens our resolve
Outside in, it turns and it twists beneath the skin
The river of my sin
Deep inside if I resolve to do what’s right
That river’s starts to rise, it starts to rise again
Beneath this house the water flows and hollows out
Fundations I have laid
Shake and fall, the river undermines the walls
Collapse on their own weight
Like a bad injection
Every good intention
Is affected by the fall
Outside in, it turns and it twists beneath the skin
The river of my sin
Deep inside if I resolve to do what’s right
That river’s starts to rise, it starts to rise again
How can I escape my condition
Might take something more than conviction
Gonna take a full crucifixion
What I want to do I do not do
What I do is not what I wanna do
Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down.
Sometimes you feel like your world is spinnin'
Round and round.
Just one thing that you're looking for.
Hungry for some love,
Tired of playin' the killin' floor,
The answer lies above.
Want someone to hold you, touch you inside.
Love that never turns away, doesn't run and hide.
Straight through the heart,
Like an arrow shot from heaven.
God's love doesn't miss.
Straight through the heart,
It'll hit you where you live.
Sometimes you're hot, feel like wild fire.
And your heart is walkin' on a high wire.
Feel it crash and burn.
Hang your head in misery.
I'll tell you waht I've learned.
Need someone to hold you, touch you inside.
God's love never turns away,
Doesn't run and hide.
Now I know that you've been burned before.
You feel that love is unkind,
But now's the time to give Him a chance.
It's easy or so it sometimes seems
To believe that when you chase your dreams
If you feel the fire play it once or twice
You never chase your tail on the road to paradise
Then you see it doesn't mean a thing
So you say a prayer to miss an early grave
Oh you say a prayer like someone who's a slave
Yeah you say a prayer till midnight turns to day
Oh you say a prayer and try and make your way.
Next time you don't know what to do
When everything begins to come unglued
If your situation is more than you can bear,
Make your destination to the Lord in prayer
When you share with him all your cares,
You'll know he's listening, you'll know he cares
And you say a prayer all your snares will come undone
Oh you say a prayer like a bullet from a gun
Yeah, you say a prayer tellin' all that's on your mind
[Musical Intro]
Satan, the roaring lion
Roams to and fro
Seeking whom he may devour
The word of God
Tells us so
He's the father, the father of lies
And he's come to destroy
He's the one who hates you
And discards you like a broken toy
The Lord opposes the proud
But gives grace to the humble
Give yourself to God
With your eyes on him you won't stumble
As for Satan...
Resist him
And he will flee from you
Oh, resist him
Get close to God
He will get close to you
Oh Satan
He tells you he has something good for you
He whispers in your ear
Cracks open the door
He crashes through
The Lord opposes the proud
But gives grace to the humble
Give yourself to God
With your eyes on him you won't stumble
And as for Satan...
Resist him
And he will flee from you
Oh, resist him
Get close to God
He will get close to you
Resist him
And he will flee from you
Oh, resist him
Get close to God
He will get close to you
[Guitar Solo]
Resist him
And he will flee from you
Oh, resist him
Get close to God
He will get close to you
Resist him
And he will flee from you
Oh, resist him
Get close to God
He will get close to you
Resist him
I was angry full of greed
I was thinkin' of only me
I was running from place to place
Just making it though another day
Without a doubt I had to win
Just when I thought I'd cash it in
I saw a bright light
It almost plowed me down
It made me realize my need
I saw a bright light
It knew all I had done
It showed me I could be set free
I knew there had to be
Some kind of change in me
Would it require too much
Too much of me
Would I be able to really change inside
Didn't need another burdwn of any kind
But when this light shone down on me
His love replaced all of my need
I saw a bright light
It almost plowed me down
It made me realize my need
I saw a bright light
It knew all I had done
In the rough, think you're tough,
Don't need no help from no one.
Load your gun, just for fun,
Bullets make you feel like someone.
You think, another drink,
Might solve your problems baby!
Think again, It's a dead end,
Gonna kill you, and I don't mean maybe.
It's up to you, which way will you choose?
Listen carefully, you don't have to lose.
He's put us over the top,
Ooh, we don't deserve it.
Over the top, there's hope for you and me.
Over the top, with Jesus we will make it.
His power has loosed our chains,
His love has set us free!
Blaze a trail, end in jail.
On the run your heart is poundin'.
Hit the street, it's then you meet
Another gang, and the war call's soundin'.
You try, to live a lie.
Good looks are all you need.
What a shame, a losin' game.
Stood up, how your heart bleeds.
He's put us over the top,
Ooh, we don't deserve it.
Over the top, there's hope for you and me.
Over the top, with Jesus we will make it.
His blood has washed away our sins,
Now we have victory!
You see, just what you need.
At the door the Lord is knockin'.
Open up, He'll fill your cup,
Calm the sea if your life boat's rockin'.
If you decide, not to hide,
He'll take you by the hand,
Show you to somethin' new,
Fooled me once, fooled me twice
That's the last time I'm taking your advice
I didn't believe I was bound by sin
You never let on about the shape I was in
Heard you callin' yeah, you hypnotized
Had me going with your big disguise
You thought I'd never get wise
It's no wonder they call you the father of lies
No way I'm goin' down
No way I'm goin' down
I was in the ring thought the light was fixed
I needed help and I needed it quick
You had my number I was almost down
You didn't think I'd last for another round
I was on the ropes and I had a hunch
You were coming in with a knock out punch
Then the King stepped in, said that's as far as it goes
Now look who's wearing the bloody nose
No way I'm goin' down
