Many criminals and one crime
One verdict, gonna do some time (and I said)
One ruling to each one
One victim known as the Son Of...
Chorus:
God, Jesus, Emmanuel
Become a man just to pay my bail (and I said)
Prince of Peace, and the King Of Kings
He taught me how to stop, Stop Doin' Those Things
He came to me in my cage
He came in love in the midst of my rage (and I said)
He opened up the door to my cell
And gained a victory o'er the gates of Hell (and I said)
Repeat Chorus
Glory! Glory! Jesus, you loosed the chains for me
And when you died upon the cross the wage of sin was then made free
Oh, you've taken the torture and the punishment that was mine
And you became the Victim of my crime
The Blessed Son of...
Repeat Chorus
We don't have to speculate on where we came from
We don't have to guess as to why we exist
God has made it clear through the Word He gave us
Made it very clear though the struggles persist
Chorus:
We have found the way, we have found the way
We have found the way to glory
Jesus is the way, Jesus is the way
He's the only way to glory
We are not intelligent beyond our measure
We have just received what He chose to reveal
Everything we see on this earth is fleeting
What we cannot see is what is real
Repeat Chorus
What we cannot see is what is real (x4)
What will it take to change your ways
When you do the things you do
I am at a loss for words
Everytime I talk to you
You are always in my prayers
Tell me what else I can do
I think of a lot of former days
Wish I could do it all again
Maybe I could have helped you out
I should have been the one to show you Him
I don't know what else to say
This fading world of yours must end (tell me, tell me)
Chorus:
Tell me please what you can't see (tell me please what you can not)
The Savior hung there just for you and me (Savior hung there just for you and me)
This world we know is fading fast
Make the choice to do what's right
My Father, He can help you out
He'll give you strength to win the fight
I guarantee you will succeed
But only if it's with His might (c'mon, c'mon just listen to me)
Where do you run to for your peace
When your dreams all start to shatter
When your life gets torn apart
Broken pieces start to scatter
He will help you put it back
'Cause to Him you always matter (tell me, tell me)
Repeat Chorus
And even though I know we're worlds apart
I'll try to share the feelings from my heart
Just call for Him and He will draw you near
Take his hand - my God, He'll take away your fears
What will it take to change your ways
When you do the things you do
I am at a loss for words
Now every time I talk to you
You are always in my prayers
Tell me what else can I do
What else can I do?
Commit to the Lord whatever you do
And all of your plans will succeed
In all of your ways acknowledge Him
And He will take care of your needs
So whatever you do whether work or play
Give your best everyday
Chorus:
You've gotta work at it with all of your heart (with all of your heart)
Work at it with all of your heart (That's workin not for man)
As working for the Lord and not for man
You've gotta work at it with all of your heart
You work at your job, you work hard at school
But the things of this life fade away
But if you work for the Lord it is never in vain
And he will guide your feet everyday
So with His word in your heart and His love in your soul
You can press on to the goal
Repeat Chorus
Anything that is worthwhile deserves your heart (You know that it deserves all your heart)
If you will not give it all don't even start (Don't even start)
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Work at it with all of your
Work at it with all of your
Work at it with all of your heart.

Would not bow down they just firmly said no!

This is a song about perceptions, paradigms, and politics
Borne out of the prejudices that plague us as a people
Get the point?
Then lets proceed...
Ignorance ain't bliss when it comes in the form of a dis
Prejuidice and racial perception from a distance breeds misconceptions
A man's skin color ain't the place to start
You gotta get close, get into the heart
Otherwise, there's a lot you'll miss
Prejudicial ignorance sho ain't bliss
Get this
Chorus:
What makes you think he would let you get by,
Using ignorance as an alibi?
Think again, there seems to be something you've missed
Prejudicial ignorance sho ain't bliss (sho ain't bliss)
Sho ain't bliss (sho ain't bliss)
Society's confused when it comes to the way that we view
People from an outward perspective, with appearance we're so selective
A man's discarded if he dresses oddly
We avoid those with handicapped bodies
The retarded simply dismissed
Prejudicial ignorance sure ain't bliss
Repeat Chorus
What makes you stop short of makin' that move
To break the comfort zone you're accustomed to?
Open eyes, realize the truth you can't dismiss
Prejudicial ignorance sho ain't bliss (Sho isn't, sho isn't)
Sho ain't bliss (No it isn't, no it isn't)
Ignorance and arrogance, goin' hand in hand
Condescending judgments of our fellow man
Variety's the spice of life so what good is achieved
By division and derision of the differences we see
The Christian community
Must cease the negativity
'Cause a dose of humility
Will spark the cause of unity
Accept the reality
That it's our responsibility
To share our love consistenly
And work to be a family
That's the way (Aw that's the way)
That's the way (Yeah that's the way)
That's the way (Uh huh)
We'll find bliss
Prejudicial ignorance isn't bliss
Repeat Chorus
Now it's time to get funky...
Ministries on trial 'cause they fail to fit a certain style (We're on trial, different style)
People's praise snuffed out by tradition, policing music that's deemed "Un-Christian" (Unjustly condemned)
You can't judge worship by a dance or groove (Music's groove and)
To Him it's pleasing when the heart's in tune (Heart's in tune)
It's a shame all the joy that's missed (Praise is not a sin)
Legalistic ignorance sho ain't bliss (It's bliss)
Sing it out!
Repeat Chorus
What makes you stop short of makin' that move
To break the comfort zone you're accustomed to?
Open eyes, realize the truth you can't dismiss
Prejudicial ignorance sho ain't bliss (Sho ain't bliss)
I wasn't living, wasn't forgiving
I was carrying my burdens all alone
I was mistaken, always was taken
From the Holy Family, 'til I made it back home
Chorus:
Now I won't let go of your caring hand
Leave behind the pain, rise above
Now I won't let go, 'cause I've got so much to gain
Now I won't let go of your love
I'm now confessin', I've learned my lesson
That the narrow way is better than the rest
There's nothing dearer, nothing is clearer
And I'll never leave your side when I'm put to the test
Repeat Chorus
Safe and warm when I'm by your side
I'll ever abide (by your side)
Confident, it's so good to know
I'll never let go, never let go

Singin Heaven, Heaven, woh, its a beautiful place
And one of these days I'm gonna walk with God
He's gonna tell me about the things that I never saw

Things we go through they seem so wrong
But if we hang on long and hold on tight
God is gonna keep us deep in His sight
Oooo yeah. Oooo yeah
Oh, I want to see Him, look upon His face
I'm gonna live with him forever, 'cause Heaven is a beautiful place!

"The great street of the city was of pure gold, like trasparent glass." Revelation 21:21
Chorus:
He had everything (everything he wanted) (yes he had it all), everything that he dreamed (that he dreamed) (all he dreamed)
He had everything (everything he wanted) (yes he had it all), all he wanted it seemed (that he wanted) (all it seemed)
But the more he had and the more he learned
There was something not there
To fill the void within him, Oh where - Oh where
Everything he gathered he had made by himself
Or so he always had believed
Self-reliant living always brought him success
Just consider all he had achieved
But the clock was running out on going his way
Placing all his hopes upon his wealth
Sooner than later he would come face to face
No man can live unto himself (unto himself)
Repeat Chorus
Everything he touched it seemed would turn into gold
Or at least it always did appear
As his heart was slowing down and growing so cold
Finding satisfaction no where near
Then his body lost its way, began to shut down
Leaving him with nothing to control
Abruptly showing him with nothing to live for
And now nothing within his soul (in his soul)
Repeat Chorus
We are hard pressed on every side
But not crushed
Perplexed, but not in despair
Persecuted but not abandoned
Struck down, but not destroyed
Persecuted but not abandoned
Struck down
Repeat All
We are hard pressed on every side
But not crushed
Heart, Heart, Heart, ooooooooo
Chorus:
You gotta give Him your heart!
All you've got to do is just give Him your heart
All you've got to do is just give Him your heart
All you've got to do is just, just give Jesus your heart
You gotta give Him your heart!
All you've got to do is just give Him your heart
All you've got to do is just give Him your heart
I say now all you've got to do is just, just give Jesus your heart
Well, there are many out there who haven't met the Lord
And there are many out there who haven't read His word
And there are many out there who don't know where to start
Just give Jesus your heart.
So give Him your heart!
All you've got to do is just give Him your heart
All you've got to do is just give Him your heart
All you've got to do is just, just give Jesus your heart
We must tell them in time so they can know His love
Yes, we must tell them in time of the power from above
We must tell them in time before there is no time
Just give Jesus your heart
The world is evil and is out for itself
The world is caring for nobody else
The world is bogus and it won't understand
The love and heart of the Man
The world needs Jesus or there's no need to live
The world without Him has nothing to give
The world is living in continous night
Let Him give you the light
You gotta give Him your heart!
All you've got to do is just give Him your heart
All you've got to do is just give Him your heart
You know that all you've got to do is just, just give Jesus your heart
Just give Jesus your heart!
Just give Jesus your heart!

Of greed and selfishness (give it, give it)
On a mission to obtain (give and it will be given to you) (give and it will be given)
'Cause when the love in life goes lost (give it, give it)
With all the price tags and the cost (give it, give it)
We'll realize it's all in vain (give and it will be given to you) (give and it will be given)
Open hearts are the only ones that grown (give it, give it, give, give it, give it, give) (listen to Jesus)
Don't you know (give it, give it, give, give it)
He will bless the harvest of the seeds we sow
What we give is worth so much more than (give it, give it, give, give it, give it, give)
