So Shall I
05:34

|
Verse 1:
These hands are gonna change the world
As far as they can reach,
Not because of whose they are,
But Him who set them free.
Rain down, and let Your river overflow
In my heart that I may give it all away.
Chorus:
For the day is near
When the Son of Man shall reappear
For the remnant and the bride.
And to do His will.
Is to feed the ones who hunger still.
As He gave His life,
So shall I.
Verse 2:
These lips are gonna speak the truth
To them with ears to hear.
Let love be the guiding force
Behind the words they share.
Redeem the precious hours that remain
That they may know the Way, the Truth, the Life.
Chorus:
For the day is near
When the Son of Man shall reappear
For the remnant and the bride.
And to do His will.
Is to feed the ones who hunger still.
As He gave His life,
So shall I.
Bridge:
I stand in wonder
At the way You spend Your love on me, so I,
I will spend my life on You.
Verse 3:
These eyes are gonna see Your face
Smiling down to say, "Well done."
Chorus:
For the day is near
When the Son of Man shall reappear
For the remnant and the bride.
And to do His will.
Is to feed the ones who hunger still.
As He gave His life,
So shall I.
For the remnant and the bride.
And to do His will.
Is to feed the ones who hunger still.
As He gave His life...

One Accord
04:26
|
|||
|
Verse 1;
A second floor prayer meeting
Interrupted by fire.
Eleven men left that room knowing their destinies had risen much higher.
Addressing the masses
They called loud and clear,
"Our brothers, the One we have waited for so long has finally appeared,
And He sends us from here!"
Chorus:
And they learned to see
That if they stood together
They could carry the work of the Lord.
And they all agreed
That in every endeavor
They would function in one accord.
Verse 2:
Some call it mere legend
In these final days
As the world sinks in darkness and the Body of Christ goes its separate ways.
But the Spirit empowers
When we each understand
Through the Church moving forward united the Lord brings His life to the land,
When we walk hand in hand.
Chorus:
And if could see
That if we standd together
We can carry the work of the Lord.
Then we would agree
That in every endeavor
We would function in one accord.
Bridge:
So let us walk humbly, putting the needs of each other above,
For only together can we comprehend the depths of His love.
Chorus:
And if could see
That when we stand together
We can carry the work of the Lord.
Then we would agree
That in every endeavor
We would walk as His body, with one heart and one accord.
So let us agree
That no matter whatever,
We will walk as His body, with one heart and one accord.
We will walk as His body, with one heart and one accord.

Tell My World
06:24
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
A city set on a hill, a lamp on a stand,
A grain of salt, and a fisher of man.
The Bible calls me to be a witness to the Lamb.
But when the time comes to speak, I find I utter no cry.
Instead my mind goes blank, and my throat gets dry.
Oh, what a sinner I am to let these chances slip by.
Chorus:
Lord, help me tell my world what You've done for me.
Raise the banner unfurled: shine a light for others to see.
It's not a matter of choice.
I need to lift up my voice,
'Cause you said, "Go, tell My world."
Verse 2:
When I hide my candle behind the bushel of secrecy,
It's like keeping medicine from the sick and diseased,
All for the sake of pride. What would they think of me?
God, I need to proclaim the Gospel far and near.
Being scared is no excuse, for perfect love casts out fear.
Grant me courage to share with him who has ears to hear.
Chorus:
Lord, help me tell my world what You've done for me.
Raise the banner unfurled: shine a light for others to see.
It's not a matter of choice.
I need to lift up my voice,
'Cause you said, "Go, tell My world."
Bridge:
I wanna tell them...
Love knows your name. Love saw your pain;
Your sin and shame. Love cared. Love came.
God's greatest plan; Love became a man.
With your sin beset, Love died your death.
Three days, and then Love rose again;
Rose beyond the sky. Now Love reigns on high.
This is your day to come away.
Look to Him above. Choose life through Love.
Swift is the coming of that Day.
And if I fail to point the Way,
How many more souls will be cast away?
Chorus:
Help me tell my world what You've done for me.
Raise the banner unfurled...
Lord, help me tell my world what You've done for me.
Raise the banner unfurled: this flag of liberty.
Someday in Paradise
I will the more rejoice
Because I told my world.
You said "Go, tell My world."
I need to tell my world.

Vision Birth
04:48
|
|||
|
I was born a sightless beggar, made an outcast on the streets,
So when I heard the prophet coming I was eager to believe
In the tales of His compassion, how He changed reality.
I wondered if He'd do the same for me.
And He sent me to the waters, saying, "Wash, and you shall see."
He said the time had come for God to show His handiwork in me.
And with those words, and His spittle, and little bit of earth,
This Jesus gave my vision birth.
I was dazzled by the brilliance of the sun's morning rays.
But the people only doubted, said "It couldn't be this way."
And the churchmen had a problem that it happened Sabbath day,
A crossing of tradition's sacred way.
And I was brought before the elders, and their jealous inquiry.
I said, "I don't know how He did it, but I was blind and now I see.
And if you open up your hearts, and forget your selfish worth,
This man can give your vision birth."
They cast me from their presence, said "This heathen's a disgrace."
So I sought to find the Wanderer who'd shared with me His grace.
When I met Him, I cried, "Master, I will follow anyplace."
He'd given eyes to more than just the blind spots on my face.
O my friends the dusk is falling, and there's so much incomplete.
Like the Pharisee we've stumbled on our jaded feet.
We have taken love for granted and have shunned the mercy seat,
Lost within a ritual's deceit.
So let us journey to the waters, that our sight may be set free.
And let our blinders melt like wax before His awesome majesty,
That we may learn to love each other, and carry out His work.
Let Jesus give our vision birth.
O Jesus, give my vision birth.

For I know you will rescue me.
I will call to mind Your promise

I will trust in Your love.
I will trust in Your love.
I will trust in Your love.
I will trust in Your love.
Verse:
I will sing to You in the darkness
For I know you will rescue me.
I will call to mind Your promise
And believe You will set me free.
I will trust in Your love.
I will trust in Your love.
I will trust in Your love.
I will trust in Your love.
Prechorus:
For you have been faithful to those gone before.
Your hope and Your mercy give strength to endure.
Chorus:
I believe in a new day
When the morning shall banish the night.
I believe You are leading
In the darkness to show me Your light.
I believe through the trials
That my life is worth living for You.
Verse:
I will sing to You in the darkness
For I know you will rescue me.
I will call to mind Your promise
And believe You will set me free.
I will trust in Your love.
I will trust in Your love.
I will trust in Your love.
I will trust in Your love...

This Question
05:12
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Words that I could just begin to comprehend:
"You shall no more cast your nets for fish, but fish for men..."
Could it be that I am chosen to deliver His appeal?
"Follow Me and learn the kingdom of the Lord is very near..."
Verse 2:
I recall my first encounter with this Sage,
At my mother's house as the life drained from her face.
In His eyes I saw the power to rebuke her fever.
My surprise when she arose and went to make us dinner!
Chorus:
Who is He who with one word subdues the stormy skies,
Heals the sick, revives the dead, and opens blinded eyes?
Speaks with such authority, no voice of man,
But from the mouth of God.
Verse 3:
Drawing multitudes with riddles and with rhymes,
But in His presence, there was hope, there was life!
Chains were broken, lives made whole, and good news preached to every man.
How can wonders such as these be the work of a carpenter's hand?
Chorus:
Who is He who with one word subdues the stormy skies,
Heals the sick, revives the dead, and opens blinded eyes?
Speaks with such authority, no voice of man,
But from the mouth of God.
Bridge:
O the wonders I have witnessed,
But o the blunders; how could I have missed this?
Mixing justice with compassion,
Feeding thousands with a young boy's ration.
Spouting drivel of the need to die on Calvary,
I try to disagree, and He yells, "Satan, get behind me!"
I want to build Him a shrine, but He stoops to wash my feet.
I just don't understand what it is He sees in me...
How can I go with the One who walks the road to heaven?
"Tell me, Simon. How do you give answer to this question?"
Chorus:
Who is He who with one word subdues the stormy skies,
Heals the sick, revives the dead, and opens blinded eyes?
No Elijah, nor the Prophet.
He could only be the Son of God.
Revelation from the Father, not through flesh and blood.
Our Redeemer, God is with Us,
Jesus Christ, the only Son of God.

Lament
05:40
|
|||
|
Verse 1
I woke to see the Master full of agony.
"Could you not watch one hour and pray?"
The garden bleak, He said, "It is complete.
Behold, My betrayer comes to take Me away."
I rose at this to see the traitor plant his kiss
Upon the weary face. I drew my sword,
And struck, and fled that place.
Chorus:
How can I be called a rock,
When my desertion scorns and mocks
The love He showed to me before?
He gives His life; I seek my own.
The cock's cry echoes through my bones,
And nothing matters anymore.
Verse 2:
I followed in that dirge-like procession to the place
Where men pass judgment from on high.
The outer court: I could follow Him no more
And had to stand amongst the rabble by a fire.
They stared at me, said "Surely this man's from Galilee."
I shook my fist at them and swore by God's name
I knew not the Man.
Chorus
How can I be called a rock,
When my desertion scorns and mocks
The love He showed to me before?
He gives His life; I seek my own.
The cock's cry echoes through my bones,
And nothing matters anymore.
Last Chorus:
I curse the day that I was born.
The Son of God hangs bruised and torn
Between two thieves upon a tree.
If He declines to save His life,
What hope is there for humankind,
And least of all a wretch like me?
And least of all a wretch like me...

Beyond
04:21
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Dawn, the sunrise in the east.
The woman came to me.
She said, "The stone was rolled away!"
I ran, the empty tomb to see.
Returning to my oars
A Stranger called from shore
To cast on starboard side. The fish jumped in,
And I jumped overboard...
Prechorus 1:
I was starting to see.
That the risen Lord, He was calling to me.
For my sin's reward, He said, "Feed my sheep,
And come and follow Me."
Chorus 1:
Beyond what you can see or feel.
What you believe is real,
Is more than you can know.
Where deep is calling unto deep
Within this mystery
Is where you're called to go.
Verse 2:
Fire, the streets were filled with praise.
The power of God displayed
For young and old to see,
The Spirit fell to set the people free,
But not just to the Jews.
To taste forbidden food,
He led me to a Roman's house.
The Spirit came and filled them, too.
Prechorus 2:
But the king full of pride,
Locked me in a room to be sentenced to die.
But the angel knew that the gates would swing wide,
And I walked into the night.
Chorus 2:
Beyond what I could comprehend
What I dared to believe
Was right before my eyes.
From further up and further in
His voice was calling me
To leave my fear behind
To run with Him and go beyond...
Bridge:
I finally realize His greatest gift to me.
To look beyond the one within the mirror to the one I'm meant to be.
Chorus 3:
Beyond what I could ever dream,
The Kingdom of the Lord
Is here inside of me,
For I could never have foreseen
The wonders He performed
To help me to believe
Beyond...

Always and Forever
05:29
|

|
Always and forever,
Father, help me remember Your love.
You walk by my side, my Shepherd, my Guide,
My Bringer of life from above.
I was battered and broken,
Lost in the dark without hope when You came.
You drove back the night. You gave me your light.
You made me delight in Your Name.
O where can I go from Your Spirit,
And where can I flee to escape Your face?
The heavens on high You inhabit,
And the depths of the earth are Your dwelling place.
Your reach is unbounded,
Just as the reach of Your grace.
I would walk in Your presence,
And shower on You gold, incense, and myrrh,
Like men from afar who followed a star,
I'd be where You are
Always and forever.

Awakening
05:21

|
Verse 1:
Awake me from my slumber,
And cause my eyes to see
The longing of Your Spirit
To heal the brokenhearted, to set the prisoner free.
And send us to our neighbors
To show Your grace and truth.
Infect us with Your blessing
To give away the peace that comes from only You.
Chorus:
Come and take us to the place where we may enter in
To the holy struggle for the heart of every man.
Fill us with the fire and the passion to walk in
Your Awakening.
Verse 2:
I feel it in my spirit.
I hear it in the Wind.
The time is drawing close, now,
For the changing of the climate,
For the healing of our land.
We're standing in the desert
And crying out for rain.
We're shouting to the mountains,
Commanding them to flee
By the power of Your Name.
Chorus:
Come and take us to the place where we may enter in
To the holy struggle for the heart of every man.
Fill us with the fire and the passion to walk in
Your Awakening.
Come and take us to the place where we may enter in
To the holy struggle for the heart of every man.
Fill us with the fire and the passion to walk in
Your Awakening.

Verse 1:
This is the day when we celebrate freedom.
This is the day of the captives' release.
This is the day that the shackles are broken.
The Light of the world has given Himself
For you and for me.
Chorus:
We lift our hearts, we lift our hands,
We lift our voices to the King,
For He is the One
Who turns the darkness into day.
So come as you are; come join the dance.
The river of life runs full and free.
Salvation has come.
Jesus is risen from the grave.
