Stryper is a Christian glam metal band from Orange County, California. The group's lineup consists of Michael Sweet (lead vocals, guitar), Oz Fox (guitar), Tim Gaines (bass guitar), and Robert Sweet (drums). In 2004, Gaines left the band and was replaced by Tracy Ferrie (bass guitar) but rejoined in 2009.
Formed in 1983 as Roxx Regime, they would change their message and name to Stryper and go on to be the first Christian rock band to be recognized by the mainstream. In 1983, they were signed by Enigma Records and released their first album The Yellow and Black Attack. By the mid-1980s, Stryper saw their most successful period starting with the release of To Hell with the Devil, which achieved Platinum sales status. Stryper would go on to release two more Gold albums before breaking up in 1992. In 2003, Stryper came out of retirement for a reunion tour and subsequently signed a multi-album contract with Big3 Records in 2005.
The name "Stryper" derives from the King James Version of the Bible. "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." The reference, Isaiah 53:5, is frequently included as part of their logo. Stryper's drummer, Robert Sweet, also created a backronym for their name: "salvation through redemption, yielding peace, encouragement and righteousness".

Over the mountain, take me across the sky
Something in my vision, something deep inside
Where did I wander, where d'ya think I wandered to
I've seen life's magic astral plane I travel through
I heard them tell me that this land of dreams was now
I told them I had ridden shooting stars
And said I'd show them how
Over and over, always tried to get away
Living in a daydream, only place I had to stay
Fever of a breakout burning in me miles wide
People around me talking to the walls inside
I heard them tell me that this land of dreams was now
I told them I had ridden shooting stars
And said I'd show them how
Don't need no astrology, it's inside of you and me
You don't need a ticket to fly with me, I'm free, yeah
Over and under, in between the ups and downs
Mind on a carpet, magic ride goes 'round and round
Over the mountain, kissing silver inlaid clouds
Watching my body disappear into the crowd
Don't need no astrology, it's inside of you and me
A-ah-ahh-ah, ah-ah-ahh-ah
We come from the land
of the ice and snow
from the midnight sun
where the hot springs blow
The hammer of the gods
will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde and sing and cry,
Valhalla, I am coming
On we sweep with,
with threshing oar
Our only goal
will be the western shore
Ah-ah-ahh-ah, ah-ah-ahh-ah
We come from the land of the ice and snow
from the midnight sun where the hot springs FLOW
How soft your fields, so green
can whisper tales of gore,
of how we calmed the tides of war
We are your overlords
On we sweep with,
with threshing oar
Our only goal will be
the western shore
S-so now you better stop
and rebuild all your ruins
for peace and trust can win
the day despite of all you're losin'
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ahh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Verse 1
Too many days go by
When we don't see eye to eye
We hold the key that will open all the doors
I just wish that we could give just a little more
Chorus
This time we've gotta stick together
Can't let our hearts turn into stone
We'll win this fight if we never say never
As two bodies, one mind one soul
Verse 2
I swore that I'd never give up on you
And you said that you would see this through
So let's light the fire that will burn the wall to the ground
Let's find what we thought could never be found
Gagged, ball and chained
Feel just the same
Heads on the wall
Maybe you're just playing games
Set me free
Mauled by a hound
Hangin' around
Is this for real
I don't know when I'll be found
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free - from you
Taken by force
By you of course
Far from my bed
I know I'd rather be dead
Set me free
Set me free
Set me free - from you
Fire in my brain
Burn me insane
Making your mark
Don't leave me here in the dark
Set me free
Call me a saint
That's what I ain't
Inside my head
Maybe I'll feel better dead
Set me free
Set me free
You'll take my life, but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket, but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand, there's no turning back
The bugle sounds, the charge begins
But on this battlefield, no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses' breath
As I plunge on into certain death, oh, oh
The horse, he sweats with fear, we break to run
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
And as we race towards the human wall
The screams of pain as my comrades fall
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And the Russians fire another round
We get so near, yet so far away
We were meant to fight another day, oh, oh
We get so close, near enough to fight
When a Russian gets me in his sights
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A burst of rounds take my horse below
And as I lay there gazing at the sky
My body's numb and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
O come, all ye faithful,
Joyful and triumphant,
O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem.
Come and behold Him,
Born the King of Angels!
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
Sing, alleluia,
All ye choirs of angels;
O sing, all ye blissful ones of heav'n above.
Glory to God -
In the highest glory!
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
Christ the Lord.
Yea, Lord, we greet Thee,
Born this happy morning;
Jesus, to Thee be the glory giv'n;
Word of the Father,
Now in the flesh appearing,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,
O come, let us adore Him,

All my life searching for the one to share
The space within my heart
To stand right by my side
Then you came to me
Shining as the morning sun
You gave your love to me
And I knew you were the one

To make all the wrong so right
We will live as one for all eternity
You and I
Chorus:
I'm giving you all of me
Cause yo gave me all of you
I'll love you forever
For you my love's so strong
I'm giving you all of me
Cause you gave me all of you
We'll stand together
Long ago, there was a man who came
Came and died for you
You, you say you don't want to know
But I've got to tell you the truth
God, I will follow you because you died for me
Gave to me your life to set me free
Anyone who asks shall receive
Jesus in your heart
It's time for you to start
Giving God all the glory
More than a man, God almighty
He created you
He's the One, the One who rules the land
He is the One I choose
All of the glory today

When you wish upon a dream, yeah
A life ain't always what it seems

'Cause you're a shining star
No matter who you are
You're shining bright to see

Shining star comes into view, ooh yeah
To shine it's watchful light on you, ooh yeah

Verse 1
We are the soldiers under God's command
We hold His two-edged sword within our hands
We're not ashamed to stand up for what's right
We win without sin, it's not by our might
And we're fighting all the sin
And the good book -- it says we'll win!
Chorus
Soldiers, Soldiers, under command
Soldiers, Soldiers, fighting the Lords battle plan
Verse 2
Are you a soldier under God's command

And were fighting all the sin
And the good book -- it says we'll win!

And He wants to give you all you need
So freely surrender
To the King

0131 Stryper / Album: In God We Trust
10 THE REIGN
Des voitures, des manoirs, des avions,
Un revenu qui ne baisse jamais,
Plus tu gagnes;
Moins tu crois en son nom.
Viendra le jour
Où tout cela disparaîtra.
Le monde mourra,
Et des millions de gens pleureront
Pour être sauvés.
Roi des rois,
Il est Seigneur de tout,
Viens, et règne aussi.
La fierté, la fortune et la renommée,
La gloire donnée à ton nom.
Un cœur rempli d’avidité
Sème une graine, sans gêne.
Viendra le jour
Où tout cela disparaîtra.
Le fils te reniera
Et alors tu crieras pour être sauvé.
Roi des rois,
Il est Seigneur de tout,
Viens, et règne aussi.
Verse 1
I want to sing some other way Always the same, never a change What can I do to make me feel right Change all my ways, give up my life
Chorus
Oh - What did you say? Oh - Christ is the way Rockin' for the One who is the Rock
Verse 2
I feel His strength come into me Reading His word helps me to see I feel so new, I want to sing Feeling His joy in everything
Chorus
You're out there all alone
Searching endlessly for home
Your happiness has gone away
Then you hear somebody say
We can have what everybody dreams about
We can say hello and never say goodbye
Love will last forever without any doubt
In the world of you and I
You've got to keep your faith
Follow me, I'll lead the way
There doesn't have to be any pain
Verse 1
The truth is right before you
Don't refuse it
No matter what you've been through
He can change it cause
Chorus
He is our God, Creator of all
Unless you accept Him, you'll continue to fall
The battle is real, on you He will call
So don't ever wait because the writing's on the wall
Verse 2
Just look around and
You will see confusion
The God that Stryper serves
Is no delusion cause
Chorus
Bridge
Don't wait till tomorrow
Tomorrow's too late (tomorrow's too late)
You've heard the truth so what will you do
Who will you choose?
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh)
Verse 1
Speak of the devil
He's no friend of mine
To turn from him is what we have in mind
Verse 2
Just a liar and a thief
The word tells us so
We like to let him know
Where he can go
Chorus
To hell with the devil
To hell with the devil
Verse 3
When things are going wrong
You know who to blame
He will always live
Up to his name
Verse 4
He's never been the answer
There's a better way
We are here to rock you
And to say...
Repeat Chorus
We've been on the outside looking in before
We've lived on the inside with a closed locked door
We've slept in the corners of the open floor
We go round and round and round and round and round and round and round
[Chorus:]
There's no strength in a unicorn
No luck in a 4 Leaf Clover
There's no life unless it's born
And no death when it's over
We've listened with open ears yet closed our minds
We've loved without any tears from our own eyes
We've gone to the parties in our cheap disguise
We go round and round and round and round and round and round and round
[Chorus]
There's no strength in a unicorn
No luck in a 4 Leaf Clover
There's no life unless it's born
And no death when it's over
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man, well
It surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed around like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more, No!
Carry on, you will always remember
Carry on, nothing equals the splendor
Now your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry
Don't you cry no more!
No more!

Sleigh bells ring are you listening?
In the lane snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Sleigh bells ring are you listening ?
In the lane snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadows we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are you married?"
We'll say, "No man"
But you can do the job when you're in town
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
In the meadows we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are you married?"
We'll say, "No man"
You can do the job when you're in town
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Verse 1
I was born to rock and I'll give it all I've got
I'm sure these boys will say the same.
We're rockin for the rock, and I know we'll never stop.
And we well never be ashamed.
We're here to rock for you an rock is what we'll do
Until your body feels the sound.
So don't be afraid to shout cause that's what it's all about.
We've got to spread it all around.
Chorus
Co'mon rock, rock, rock.
Co'mon never stop.
Co'mon rock, rock, rock.
Co'mon never stop.
Verse 2
It's catching on so fast, we've got to make it last
But we can't ever low the key.
That opens all the doors and keeps us wanting more.
It's all up to you and me.
So, let's give it all we've got until we reach the top.
Together we can make a stand.
We're here to rock for you and rock is what we'll do.
Co'mon and help us rock the land.
To fear You, to love You, to seek You
To be near You, to be of You, be in You
To know You, show You, need You
To learn You, speak You, read You
To love You, show you, need You
To love You, speak you, read You
(Verse 2)
To see You, to hear You, to meet You
To drink You, to taste You, to eat You
To know You, show You, need You
To learn You, speak You, read You
To know You, show You, need You
To learn You, speak You, read You
(Chorus)
You're my everything - (everything)
My bridge across the water - (my living spring)
The melody and the song I'll - (forever sing)
Don't You know that you're my everything
You're my everything
(Verse 3)
To touch You, to hold You, to feel You
To take You, accept You, reveal You
To know You, show You, need You
To learn You, speak You, read You
To know You, show You, need You
To learn You, speak You, read You
You've lived a hard life a self made prisoner.
you've built your house upon the sand.
it sharpens the dull knife.
that cuts and makes you endure
the scars that label you a- broken Man
chorus: you're Bleeding from inside out
wounded beyond your own recognition.
you're bandaged in fear and doubt
brought to your knees by a life and death collision.
you see what you want to see
a child in make believe
you rule the land where you are king
there's rain that washes clean
the Soll that stains your legacy
there is redemption- it's your destiny!
Ten years ago
I know I loved You so
Right here, Right now
I just don't know
I've tried, I've lied
I've told the truth at times
I've laughed, I've cried
I've slept with open blinds
Where do I go from here?
I've gotta crucify my fear
(Chorus)
I want to be the man, the one I know You see
I want to live the plan, the one with You and me
(Verse 2)
I'm worn, I'm torn
I'm sheared from side to side
But Your love, Your light
Is something I won't hide
I wanna go somewhere from here
So I can sail a sky that's clear
(Chorus)
I want to be the man, The One I know You see
I want to live The Plan, The One with You and me
Listen, birds don't sing anymore
Waves don't crash on the shore
'Cause You don't love me anymore
See, the morning sun doesn't shine
And the moon's nowhere to find
'Cause You don't love me anymore
(Chorus)
Then I realize - I'm Alive, I'll survive
I was only dreaming that our love died
I'm Alive, I'll survive
I'll never stop believing
(Verse 2)
Feel, there's no wind in my hair
There's no warmth from the sun's glare
'Cause You don't love me anymore
Stand, there's no ground to walk on
There's no one to lean upon
'Cause You don't love me anymore
(Chorus)
Then I realize - I'm Alive, I'll survive
I was only dreaming that our love died
I'm Alive, I'll survive
I'll never stop believing or deny
(Chorus)
(Tag)
Listen, the birds are singing once more
The waves are crashing on shore
Wind blows back and the batons charging
It winds all the way
Right to the butt of my gun
Maybe now your time has come
From the back streets there's a rumbling
Smell of anarchy
No more nice time, black boy shoe shines
Pie in the sky dreams
Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end
Better now you know we'll never wait till tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end
God knows when I'm coming on (my) run
Heaven help those who help themselves
That's the way it goes
The frightening thoughts of what's been taught
And now it shows
Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end
Better now you know we'll never wait till tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end
God knows when I'm coming on (my) run
Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end
Better now you know we'll never wait till tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end
God knows when I'm coming on (my) run
You keep coming, there's no running
Tried a thousand times
Under your feet grass is growing
Time we said goodbye
Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end
Better now you know we'll never wait till tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end
God knows when I'm coming on (my) run
Lights out, lights out in London
Hearts are weeping, souls are keeping on ice
Spirits dying, wickness won't suffice
Those who cared, they stop and stare at the wall
Doing nothin, watching prisoners fall
The sun is falling from the sky, the earth is cold and still
God have mercy on us
For we know not what we do
God dark and blinded, we are burning
Without you God
Without conscience, without warning at all
We kill the wounded, crushing whose who crawl
Can't we see that life is hung by a thread
In the end our flesh is buried and dead
Mountains crumble, veins swell, the tide is taking all
God have mercy on us
For we know not what we do

Verse 1
Won't you open up your heart and let me come inside.
Please let the loving start to climb.
I know you may may wonder why I've come to hold you tight.
I don't want you to cry tonight.
I will take you in my arms and sing your favorite song.
As i tell you of your charms all night long.
You've been hurt over again, with all my love I say I am
Holding out my hand.
Chorus
You won't be lonely anymore.
You won't be lonely anymore.
Verse 2
For so long you've been in rain, but now you're warm and dry.
You've been through all the pain and now it's blue skies.
You'll be happy and secure as long as you are mine and as
Long as I am yours.
Repeat Chorus
Won't you open up your hear and let me come inside.
Please let the loving start to climb.
I will take you in my arms and I will hold you tight.
You won't be lonely tonight.
Verse 1
Some people think they're happy, livin' for themselves.
But when they're sad they long for something else.
And you can find the answer in an honest way.
To get you thru the sadness, to start a whole new day.
We've found a life that keeps us happy.
Yes, we have and we'll live eternally.
We'll always have the light to see, and so can you.
Chorus
Are you feeling lonely?
Are you feeling blue?
Does your life seem empty?
You know what to do.
Verse 2
You say you've go some troubles, yeah, oh so many downs.
You need a light to lift you off the ground.
And if your life feels senseless, just accept the Lord.
And He'll make you see things you never have seen before.
An everlasting life abounding, oh yeah.
Yes, He will and He's always giving more.
And His light will never stop shining, it's for you, yes it is.
Someone's child but no one's friend
A city street alone again
Funny how tears don't wash away
Even in December rain
Someone's child you'd never meet
Merchandise on a darkened street
A painted face with a child's eyes
A paradox of sad disguise
When did I see You cry oh Lord
When were You all alone
When did I see You so far away from home
Someone's child now half alive
Lives in a bottle just to survive
Had a home and had a wife
That's a story from a different life
We've all seen him a time or two
He's not all that different from me and you
He's more than a face or a name
He's a reason why You came
When did I see You cry oh Lord
When were You all alone
When did I see You so far away
You say I closed my eyes
You say I closed my heart
I never stopped looking
You say I didn't start
When did I see You cry oh Lord
When were you all alone
When did I see You so far away, so far away, so far away from home
(Repeat Chorus)
You go left
I head in the right direction
I go up
You go down
I take my time
You rush every situation
I go straight
You go around
But I'll wait for You
Oh I'll wait for You
Yes I'll wait for You
Oh I'll wait for You
I'm awake
You're tired and You feel like sleeping
When You're cold
I'm on fire, yeah
You repeat yourself
I say it once, and it's the one I'm keeping
You go low
And I go high
Oh I'll wait for You
Yes I'll wait for You
Yes I'll wait for You
Oh I'll wait for You
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll wait
Oh I'll wait for You
Yes I'll wait for You
Yes I'll wait for You
Oh I'll wait for You
And I'll wait
Oh I'll wait for You
Oh I'll wait for You
Verse 1
Livin' life on a wire
Never knowin' what to do
Cryin' to find me a reason to stay with you
Then I saw you with someone
Oooh babe now I know
Chorus
I gotta lay low, just let go
I gotta say no, girl just go
I'm sayin' two time girl I don't want you to stay
I took a real blow, hurt me so
You hit me real low, now I know
I'm sayin' two time woman don't come back this way
Verse 2
Hangin' out at a party
All my friends everywhere
Thought you were right beside me but you weren't there
Then I caught you with someone else
That's the end of the show
Repeat Chorus Twice
I took a real blow, hurt me so
You hit me real low, now I know
I'm sayin' two time woman don't come back this way
Verse 1
Too many days go by
When we don't see eye to eye
We hold the key that will open all the doors
I just wish that we could give just a little more
Chorus
This time we've gotta stick together
Can't let our hearts turn into stone
We'll win this fight if we never say never
As two bodies, one mind one soul
Verse 2
I swore that I'd never give up on you
And you said that you would see this through
So let's light the fire that will burn the wall to the ground
Let's find what we thought could never be found
Repeat Chorus twice
Verse 1
I'm hearin' people talkin'
Sayin' things that just ain't true
Thinkin' that they know what we've been through
Verse 2
They say that we've been walkin'
Away from what we started to do
But we still want our message to get through
Bridge
We're soldiers under command
Gonna sing it loud and clear
He's the rock that makes me roll
Turn it up, we want you to hear
Chorus
Can't stop the rock
Can't stop the rock
Verse 3
Playin' in this rock band
Tryin' to make a stand
Hasn't been an easy thing to do
Verse 4
Travelin' 'cross this land
Tryin' to make people understand
We've got the right to rock 'em how we choose
Bridge
Verse 1
You've been workin' hard
Tryin' to make your life appealing
You've got no regard
You don't know what the hell you're feeling
Bridge 1
You've got everything, live like a king
But how will you live tomorrow?
Chorus
You're caught in the middle
And you don't know where to go
Turn it around, come back to the ground
Before you break and lose control
Verse 2
Are you here at all
Or are you at the point of no return
You've got to make a call
You've got to make a choice before you get burned
Bridge 2
You've got what it takes, make no mistakes
Don't live your life in sorrow
Repeat Chorus

8 COME TO THE EVERLIFE
Une nouvelle vie à vivre,
Un nouveau cœur à donner.
Pas de tristesse, pas de douleur,
Des nouveaux corps en récompense.
Paix et harmonie sont là;
Amour sera partout.
Viens avec moi ce soir.
Viens à la vie éternelle.
Nous verrons une nouvelle
Lumière dans le ciel.
Il ne faut pas que tu perdes,
Tu dois simplement bien choisir.
Prononce Son nom.
Tu ne seras plus le même.
Elevez vos cœurs aujourd’hui.
Oubliez vos soucis.
Une nouvelle vie, éternelle et si libre
Elevez vos cœurs, vous verrez.
Verse 1
She waits alone, oh every night
Tears are in her eyes
She has lost all the love she had
Verse 2
She lived her life for Him each day
She threw it all away
To live for herself - live her life her way
Chorus
There is no love like the love of your first love
It's so true
It's for you as you are
Tears in the night
Filled with pain
You're running from the love
That you had once before - your first love
Verse 3
Someone to hold you though the pain
To make you smile again
And to protect you forever
Verse 4
Someone to take your fears away
To help you through each day
To carry you when you just can't go on
Chorus
There is no love like the love of your first love
It's so true
Your love will never leave you
Tears in the night
Filled with pain
You're running from the love
That you had before you cried out for your first love
Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage
Where the grapes of wrath are stored
He hath loosed the fateful lightening
Of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on
Glory, Glory Hallelujah
Glory, Glory Hallelujah
Glory, Glory Hallelujah
His truth is marching on
Look what we can do
When we get together
And give support to those on the lines
It's our sons and daughters (It's our sons and daughters)
Our sisters and brothers
We show them we cared (Show them we cared)
If they lived or died
In this land of freedom
There's riots in the streets
All in the name of peace
If we stand in unity
We'll win with dignity
Our strength has said it all
Pray and Believe
Oh yeah
The wars through the ages
Have taken so many lives
I think of their faces
And the fear in their eyes
With hearts made of courage (Hearts made of courage)
And souls filled with fire
Those who fight for their people (Fight for their people)
Let's lift their names higher
In this land of freedom
There's riots in the streets
All in the name of peace
*Yeah*
If we stand in unity
We'll win with dignity
Our strength has said it all
Pray and Believe
Our strength has said it all
Verse 1
I was born to rock and I'll give it all I've got
I'm sure these boys will say the same.
We're rockin for the rock, and I know we'll never stop.
And we well never be ashamed.
We're here to rock for you an rock is what we'll do
Until your body feels the sound.
So don't be afraid to shout cause that's what it's all about.
We've got to spread it all around.
Chorus
Co'mon rock, rock, rock.
Co'mon never stop.
Co'mon rock, rock, rock.
Co'mon never stop.
Verse 2
It's catching on so fast, we've got to make it last
But we can't ever low the key.
That opens all the doors and keeps us wanting more.
It's all up to you and me.
So, let's give it all we've got until we reach the top.
Together we can make a stand.
We're here to rock for you and rock is what we'll do.
Co'mon and help us rock the land.
Repeat Chorus
Inside of me there is a lonely place
Sometimes I just don't know it's there
But when I'm all alone
That's when I have to face...
The part of me that needs someone
To be by my side that's when I call on...
You, You make my life complete
You give me all I need
You help me through and through
I'm calling on you
I can't explain just what You do to me
My love grows stronger everyday
You give me love, You give me company
And when I have to face the rain
You bring sunshine into my life
You, You make my life complete
You give me all I need
You help me through and through
I'm calling on you
[Solo]
You, You make my life complete
You give me all I need
You help me through and through
I've been running nowhere street
I've got to mend my bloody feet
I've thrown away ten thousand days
I've hidden black and white and painted gray
In my weakness, out of pride
I failed to see the other side
It's a lost and broken war
That I won't fight for anymore
(Chorus)
Where did I go wrong?
A shattered life, a wasted song
I composed, I lived and wrote each one
What is destiny?
To Live and Love and Die Honorably
So I'll trade My Eclipse for The Son
I want to make a difference
I want my life to make some sense
Cause when it's all over
I will have to answer for myself
I'm tearing down my rotten fence
And burying my weak defense
I want to crossover
Its time to take my heart off of the shelf
I´ve been lost and harder to find
Since i met twenty-five
In my lie, it´s now do or die
And about damn time
I can´t run, i´m not gonna hide
In another bottle of wine
A can see my soul in a different place
I don´t want to go as another case
(Of a man who´s heart is)
Blackened, blackened
I´ll give blood and money to gain
The strength to stand for the call
I trust love, it´s certain to change
A heart that´s born to fall
I belive i more, that i long to see
When i find my faith i´ll be free
(Before my heart is)
Blackened (Don´t want my mind to be)
Blackened (Don´t want my soul to be)
There I was completely wasting
Out of work and down
All inside it's so frustrating
As I drift from town to town
Feel as though nobody cares
If I live or die
So I might as well begin
To put some action in my life
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
So much for the golden future
I can't even start
I've had every promise broken
And there's anger in my heart
You don't know what it's like
You don't have a clue
If you did you'd find yourselves
Doing the same thing too
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
You don't know what it's like
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Breaking the law, breaking the law
Love saves the soul
Hate kills the heart
Fear robs the goal
Hope gives a start
Forgiveness is a gift
Bitterness a chain
The ugliness we sift
His beauty still remains
(Chorus)
When we all reach Heaven
There will be no shame
'Cause when we stand before Him
He will know each name
It's all about believing
He died and took the pain
When we all reach Heaven
It's Mercy Over Blame
(Verse 2)
Faith heals the scars
That pride has brought upon
Grace will be ours
When all we have is gone
(Chorus)
When we all reach Heaven
There will be no shame
'Cause when we stand before Him
He will know each name
It's all about believing
He died and took the pain
When we all reach Heaven
Sing me a song, you're a singer
Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil
The devil is never a maker
The less that you give, you're a taker
So it's on and on and on, it's heaven and hell, oh well
The lover of lifes not a sinner
The ending is just a beginner
The closer you get to the meaning
The sooner you'll know that you're dreaming
So it's on and on and on, oh it's on and on and on
It goes on and on and on, heaven and hell
I can tell, fool, fool!
Well if it seems to be real, it's illusion
For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life
Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for
the dancer
And it's on and on, on and on and on....
They say that lifes a carousel
Spinning fast, youve got to ride it well
The world is full of kings and queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
Its heaven and hell, oh well
And they'll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
And when you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls
Its heaven and hell, oh no!
Fool, fool!
Youve got to bleed for the dancer!
Fool, fool!
Look for the answer!
Nobody gonna take my car, I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car, it's gonna break the speed of sound
Ooh, it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power, big fat tires and everything
I love it, and I need it, I feed it
Yeah, it's a wild hurricane
All right, hold tight, I'm a highway star
Nobody gonna take my girl, I'm gonna keep her to the end
Nobody gonna have my girl, she stays close on every bend
Ooh, she's a killing machine
She's got everything
Like a moving mouth, body control and everything
I love her, I need her, I seed her
Yeah, she turns me on
All right, hold tight, I'm a highway star
Nobody gonna take my head, I got speed inside my brain
Nobody gonna steal my head now that I'm on the road again
Ooh, I'm in heaven again
I've got everything
Like a moving ground, an open road and everything
I love it, I need it, I feed it
Eight cylinders, all mine
All right, hold tight, I'm a highway star
Nobody gonna take my car, I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car, it's gonna break the speed of sound
Ooh, it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power, big fat tires and everything
I love it, and I need it, I bleed it
Yeah, it's a mad hurricane
All right, hold tight, I'm a highway star
I'm a highway star
Well, the night's begun and you want some fun
Do you think you're gonna find it? (Think you're gonna find it)
You got to treat yourself like number one
Do you need to be reminded? (Need to be reminded)
It doesn't matter what you do or say
Just forget the things that you've been told
We can't do it any other way
Everybody's got to rock and roll, whoa, whoa, ooh
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
If you don't feel good, there's a way you could
Don't sit there broken-hearted (Sit there broken-hearted)
Call all your friends in the neighborhood
And get the party started (Get the party started)
Don't let 'em tell you that there's too much noise
They're too old to really understand
You'll still get rowdy with the girls and boys
'Cause it's time for you to take a stand, yeah, yeah
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud (You've got to have a party)
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud (Turn it up louder)
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud (Everybody shout it now)
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud (Oh yeah)
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud (Hear it gettin' louder)
Shout it, shout it, shout it out loud (And everybody shout it now)
Verse 1
I've changed my ways from wrong to right.
The devil never pays, no, he robs just like a thief in the night
So many bands give the devil all the glory
It's hard to understand, we want to change the story
We want to rock one way, on and on.
You'll see the light some day
All say Jesus is the way.
Verse 2
Satan is a fool and it's so insane.
Some people think he's cool, you play with fire,
You'll feel the pain.
Why lose when you could win? Give God a try.
The devil's not your friend, the truth is not a lie.
I've changed my ways from wrong to wright
Evil never pays, no, the truth is not a lie.
Free to turn away say goodbye
Free to walk away and deny
The gift waiting for you
whispers the still small voice
It's your choice
You're free (free, free, free)
Free to do what you want to
Choose your own destiny (free, free, free)
Free to do what you want to
Free to open up and believe
Free to open eyes and receive
There's no better time than now
you've got the right to choose
you can't lose
You're free (free, free, free)
Free to do what you want to
Choose your own destiny (free, free, free)
Free to do what you want to
GUITAR SOLO
Free, free to do what you want to
choose your own destiny
free to do what you want to
free, free to do what you want to
choose your own destiny
It's been said money talks, if so what does it say
Four simple words we see every day
The rich, the poor, heaven is for those who choose
Don't put your trust in money you'll lose
Again and again
In God we trust, in Him we must believe
He is the only way
In God we trust, His Son we must receive
Accept Him today, tomorrow's too late
(Repeat Chorus)
Ooh, ooh, ooh, in God we trust
(Repeat)
Time seemed to pass me by
I found myself alone, wondering why
Then you came into my life
And gave your love to me
That showed me the way
In my heart you'll stay
And I believe in you
Whoa-oh through and through
Always and forever it will be
You and me together
I want your love forever
I need your love
You're the only one
That fills my heart
And I love you
More and more everyday
And I believe in you
Whoa-oh through and through
Always and forever it will be you and me
I will sing to you and all you do
Verse 1
Honestly, I believe in you
Do you trust in me
Patiently, I will stand by you
I will stand beside you faithfully
Bridge
And through the years
I will be a friend
For always and forever
Chorus
Call on me and I'll be there for you
I'm a friend who always will be true
And I love you can't you see
That I can say I love you honestly
Solo
Chorus 2
Call on me and I'll be there for you
I'm a friend who always will be true
And I love you can't you see
That I love you honestly
I will never betray your trust in me
And I love you can't you see
Everyone has been hurt before - love will come and go
When you put your faith in something so unsure
Never happy and wanting more - love will never grow
Till you put your faith in something that's secure
I'm holding on to the One from above
The One that's secure the one that has cured
My broken heart with perfect love
I never thought it would be this good
I never even dreamed that someone could make my
Life so complete
So if you're hurting and wanting more
No matter how it seems you can have it all
If you will just believe
That someone is there for you
To catch you when you fall
To make your life brand new
To give you all
I'm holding on to the One from above
The One that's secure the one that has cured

On dit que l’argent parle.
Si c’est le cas, que dit-il ?
Quatre mots simples
Que nous voyons tous les jours.
Les riches, les pauvres,
Le ciel est pour ceux qui choisissent bien.
Ne mets pas ta confiance dans l'argent.
Tu perdras encore et toujours.
En Dieu nous nous confions.
Nous devons croire en Lui.
Il est le seul chemin.
En Dieu nous nous confions.
Nous devons recevoir Son fils.
Demain, il sera trop tard.
Accepte-le aujourd’hui.
You are my air
You are the ground that I stand upon
Oh, and I love You
You are the light
The moon in the night and the sun of every dawn
And I need Your touch to heal me
You're the one that I glorify
If I die today
I know I can say
I don't have one regret
â' Cause I own Your redemption
As long as I breathe
I'll always believe
That You took this life
And painted it with definition
So I am Yours
Living was hard
And loneliness easily justified
Oh, then I found You
Ooh, I suddenly knew
What I wanted to do was to make You satisfied
And not to die for selfish pleasure
But to live with You by my side
If I die today
I know I can say
I don't have one regret
â' Cause I own Your redemption
As long as I breathe
I'll always believe
That You took this life
And painted it with definition
I am Yours. I am Yours. I am Yours. I am Yours.
(Repeat Chorus)
If I die today
I won't regret
â' Cause I won Your redemption
As long as I breathe
I'll always believe
That you took this life
And painted it with definition
I am Yours

And loneliness gets old
More than words or broken promises
I want to show you what true love is......
Chorus:
I'm always there for you
I'll always stand by you
When the world has closed the door
-and you can't go on anymore
I'm always there for you
You've been hurt before
And you don't want anymore
There's a better way for you
Believe in me, I'll see you through...

Verse 1
She says she tries so hard to show it
She wants to say what's on her mind
Seems like he doesn't want to know it
She says he's always so unkind

Until he sees
Her live inside is heavenly

Will we ever save this world?
United we will stand up tall
United we will never fall
If it's all for one and one for all
Amazing, amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once, I once was lost
But now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
When we've been there
Ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days
To sing God's praise
Than when we first begun
It was grace, it was grace that taught
My heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How, how, how, how precious, how precious did
Oh that grace appear
The hour I first believed
(Repeat Chorus)
Speak of the devil
He's no friend of mine
To turn from him is what we've got in mind
Just a liar and a thief
The word tells us so
We like to let him know
Where he can go
To hell with the devil
To hell with the devil
When things are going wrong
You know who to blame
He will always live
Up to his name
He's never been the answer
There's a better way
We are here to rock you
And to say...
You know, I really love you
Your love is beautiful, lasting and true
I searched for a true love
for such a long, long time
Now my search has ended
Yes, cause you are mine
(Chorus)
I'll always love you
and I'll always tell you so
As long as I'm with you
My love, I'll always show
Whenever I'm sad and feeling real blue
I begin to feel happy as I sit and think of you
I think of your face and your personality
You are so beautiful, you mean everything to me
I'll always love you,
and I'll always tell you so
As long as I'm with you
Verse 1
I see you lookin' at me baby
I know what's on your mind
You just wanna come to my place
And have a real good time
Even though you look so fine
My reputation's on the line
I don't give my love away for free
Baby don't you throw yourself at me
Chorus
When I say no way you ask me why
Can't you see I'm not that kind of guy
Verse 2
Don't go cryin' to your friends babe
They won't understand
Call my mama and she'll tell you
I just ain't that type of man
Don't be playin' silly games
Girls like you are all the same
I would love to take your hand
But baby, I don't need no one night stand
Verse 1
We're gonna rock and have a good time
Tonight's the night, the night we move
Together we will stand to rock the land
We're gonna rock for something new
We're gonna rock for something true
Tonight's the night so let's lift up our hands
Chorus
Jesus, King, King of Kings
Jesus, makes me wanna sing
Verse 2
He makes me want to jump around
He keeps my feet above the ground
Tonight the night it's best to rock the land
We're gonna rock for something new
We're gonna rock for something true
Tonight's the night so let's lift up our hands
Verse 1
Let's join together and make a stand Let's make a change throughout our land Renew our bodies, spirits, minds and hearts It's up 2 U to make a start
Chorus
Come on everybody Put your hands up in the air Just move to the rhythm Join in people everywhere
Verse 2
There is an answer for these troubled times Together we can make it right Renew your body, spirit, mind and heart It's up to you to make a start
Repeat Chorus
Verse 1
I was so confused, not knowing what to do with myself.
I was being used, blinded I was headed for hell.
Then God saved me, pulled me from the heat.
It's always on my mind.
What a blessing that was sent to me.
Together we will shine and...
Chorus
I'm loving you.
I'm loving you.
I'm loving you.
I'm loving you.
Verse 2
Anger in my heart, life was such a drag for me.
Then I made a start to serve the living God, now I'm free.
You're my whole life, you're my lasting dream.
It's always on my mind.
What a blessing that was sent to me.
Together we will shine and...
I need Your love, I wanna be close to You
I need Your touch, it makes me feel refined
I need Your heart, it warms me when I'm frozen through
But I walked away, left You to stay, with no explanation
Now I realize, my darkened skies, won't shine without Your light
Will You forgive me
Can You forget the old me
If You let me
I want to make You mine
I see Your face, and suddenly my heart stands still
And when You smile, I'm lost within Your perfect world
But I walked away, left You to stay, with no explanation
Now I realize, my darkened skies, won't shine without Your light
But I broke Your heart, right from the start, and it's killing me inside
I know I can be, the one You see, if I throw away my pride
Will You forgive me
Can You forget the old me
If You let me, I want to make You mine
I want to make You mine
I want to make You mine
(Repeat)
0131 Stryper / Album: In God We Trust
9 LONELY
C’était un soir de solitude.
Le vide remplissait mon cœur.
Et j’ai réalisé
Que ça n'allait pas, dans ma vie.
Chercher sans jamais trouver,
Jour après jour.
Alors j’ai invoqué ton nom
Et je veux simplement dire que
J’étais seul,
Perdu sans ton amour,
Triste et seul sans toi,
Tu es la seule personne que j'aimerai jamais,
J’ai besoin de toi.
Tout ce dont j’ai besoin, c’est toi
Parce que tu es tout.
Je n’ai jamais vu un amour si authentique.
Maintenant, j'ai arrêté de chercher.
Et je ne serai plus jamais seul(e).
Oh yeah, hair is long and the screams are loud 'n clear
The clothes are tight, earrings dangling from the ears
No matter how we look, we'll always praise His name
And if you believe, you've got to do the same
Loud, clear, let the people hear
Scream, shout, show what it's all about
Loud, clear, let the people hear
Scream, shout, show what it's all about
Some of us were always pushed around in schools
That's why I wrote this song to sing to pushin' fools
At least we can say we love doin' what we do
And we're here to say that you can have salvation too
Loud, clear, let the people hear
Scream, shout, show what it's all about
Loud, clear, let the people hear
Scream, shout, show what it's all about
Loud, clear, let the people hear
Scream, shout, show what it's all about
Loud, clear, let the people hear
Verse 1
I see you standin' there, oh so fine

Verse 2
Won't you tell me what I've gotta do
To win over your heart
This feeling inside is something new
It's tearin' me apart
Bridge 2
I never dreamed I would meet someone like you
Won't you tell me that you're feelin' it too
Repeat Chorus
Baby, I'll love you all I can
Take me and I lay down my life
And break me, cut the cancer with a knife
Teach me, what is wrong from what is right
And show me, when to walk and when to fight
I am weak, I'm never strong
I've been upside down for way too long
I'm sick and tired of no real change
Can You help me rearrange
My life â'cause I really want to live again
I want to live again
So shake me, I'm a man who's settled
I'm a man who's settled in, settled in
Can You clean me, I'm so dirty from within
I am weak, I'm never strong
I've been upside down for way too long
I'm sick and tired of no real change
Can You help me rearrange
My life cause I really want to live again
Ooh yes I am weak, I'm never strong
I've been upside down for way too long
I am weak, I'm never strong
I've been upside down for way too long
I'm sick and tired of no real change
I said, can You help me live again

Repeat Chorus
Repeat Bridge 1
Breathing, it once was so easy
Now I'm torn between the sky and the water that climbs up
And drowns me in sleep
I remember, the moon caught in the trees
The stars would fall and dance from branch to branch
And watch me believe, hey, summer follows fall
When I'm watching the rain
Melt my window away
Will You hold me here in Your arms
When I'm sinking in pain
And I'm thinking love's late
Will You hold me here in the night
Constants, always change their mind
All is so sublime then I blink and I find
That it's written in rain
Oh after, is the sweetest smell of spring
Years and years before I could see past the storm
But it's harder now, believing that summer follows fall
(Repeat Chorus)
I'm all alone and no one's home
I cannot find my way
No bed, no lights, no telephone
It's no place to stay
Don't You know, don't You know
I built this life from in and out
Pursued a career
That weakened me to petty doubt
And frivolous fear
Don't You know, don't You know
Jesus Christ, I want to serve You
I want what You want for me
Sacrifice, I don't deserve You
Through Your passion I am free
It's funny how I see myself
As wounded and scarred
When my reality itself
Proved selfish and hard
Don't You know, oh, don't You know
I'm living in a painted world
Where everything's dry
The only water that I've seen
Was painfully cried
Don't You know, don't You know
Hey I want what You want for me
Yeah I want what You want for me
I want what You want for me
I want what You want for me
I'm all alone and no one's home
I cannot find my way
No bed, no lights, no telephone
It's no place to stay
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 1
You, you say that you've got it figured out
That life's about, you do what you want to.
You, you walk the tightrope of unbelief
Can't you see? His way is reality.
We all know it's better to give that receive
Then why don't we give God the glory?
Don't hide it, don't fight it, just beleive.
Chorus 1
He is the reason for the season.
He is the reason for today.
He is the reason for the season.
Celebrate, celebrate.
Verse 2
You, your life can be a holiday
Everyday when He is with you.
Hey, let's get back to what it's all about.
Shout it out. Christ is the reason.
We all know it's better to give that receive
His gift is for those who beleive.
You got it if you want it, just beleive.
Chorus 2
He is the reason for the season.
He is the reason for today.
He is the reason for the season.
Celebrate.
Verse 1
I was looking for the answer all the time
Always looking, never finding
I was empty inside
Falling into darkness
Needing the light to see
Reaching out for shelter
Then He set me free
Chorus
I reached out, You reach out, He'll reach out today
I reached out, You reach out, He'll reach out today
Verse 2
If you're looking for the answer, now this is the time
To stop looking and start finding that feeling inside
You don't need the darkness
When there's a light to see
He'll provide the shelter
And He'll set you free
Repeat Chorus
I'll reach out, I'll reach out
I'll reach out, I'll reach out today
Oh, reach out today
Oh, reach out today
Oh, reach out today
Oh, reach out today
Verse 1
You try to put a tag on me, mama
You try to make out to be so good
You try to make love you like you think I should
You're hearin' stories 'bout me, baby
I'm not what you want me to be
Before you leave me, honey
I just want you to see
Chorus
I am just what I am
I'm an ordinary man
If you love me, you'll understand
I'm an ordinary man
Verse 2
When we first met the fire was burning, girl
But now I'm tied to so many things
But I still love you, honey, please don't set me free
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3
You went and left me all alone, baby
But I still want you, girl, to see
I'll always love you, honey, please come back to me
Signs surround us
We fail to see
Through the simplicity of ourselves
Our crimes have found us
We try to escape every day from this cell
There's no way out when you're living in hell (unless you)
Open your eyes
Loosen the vice that constrains you
Open your eyes
Burn the disguise that you wear
Open your eyes
Break the unfaith that controls you
Open your eyes
The truth will be there
Stones have crushed us
Water has rotted
The walls of our crumbling domain
The fire has rushed us
It's burning the waste that we grasp and cling to
There is a way out, but you'll never climb through (unless you)
(Repeat Chorus)
