## Lyrics

There is a stranger in town

He's given sight to the blind

He is a great emancipator

He turns water to wine

He even healed the ten

Who were bound by disease

What manner of man is this whose voice can control the seas

Some say

He is great I am that prophets spoke of

Some even say He's Emanuel, the Son of God

This stranger, stranger, stranger from Galilee

The man from Galilee...

(Then they repeat it with their improvisational teacher)

Do you know the man

Do you... do you know the man...

Do you know him

(x4)

Do you know, do you know, do you know the man

(x2)

What a man

Who's the man

He's the man

Jesus the man

Yes I know, yes I know, yes I know the man!

The Heart of Christmas

Artist: Matthew West

Album: The Heart of Christmas (2011)

Appears on: WOW Christmas: White

## Lyrics

I’m gonna make a wish this Christmas

I’m gonna say a little prayer

I’m gonna stop here for a moment

Before the moment disappears

The world’s in a hurry this December

City streets and shopping malls

I wish we could slow down and remember

The meaning of it all

(Chorus)

Wherever you are, no matter how far

Come back to the heart, the heart of Christmas

Live while you can, cherish the moment

The ones that you love, make sure they know it

Don’t miss it, the heart of Christmas

Let’s make it feel the way it used to

Let’s find that wonder of a child

You can see the magic all around you

Come on, and open up your eyes

You can find it in the warm embrace of your family

Or calling up a long lost friend

You can even find it in the eyes of a stranger

When you reach out a helping hand

(Chorus)

In the shadow of a steeple

In a star that lights the way

You will find Him in a manger

The heart of Christmas has a name

I’m gonna make a wish this Christmas

I’m gonna say a little prayer

(Chorus x2)

## Lyrics

Let it be said of us, while we walked among the living

Let it be said of us, by the ones we leave behind

Let it be said of us, that we lived to be a blessing for life

And let it be said of us, that we gave to reach the dying

Let it be said of us, by the fruit we leave behind

Let it be said of us, that our legacy is blessing for life

(Chorus)

This day, You set life, You set death right before us

This day, every blessing and curse is a choice now

And we will choose to be a blessing for life

Let it be said of us, that our hearts belonged to Jesus

Let it be said of us, that we spoke the words of life

Let it be said of us, that our heritage is blessing for life

(Chorus)

We will choose to be a blessing for life

'Cause our blessings and curses are choices

'Cause our blessings and curses are choices

Will we build up, tear down, the moment of truth

(Chorus)

For Your Kingdom

For our children

For the sake of every nation

We will choose to be a blessing for life, for life

Blessing for life

## Lyrics

Who killed Jesus?

I thought you did

You thought I did

But He said no man takes my life from me

But I lay it down voluntarily

So

Who killed Jesus

I guess nobody

(Chorus x2)

He laid it all down

He laid it all down

He laid it all down

Down for me

Who killed Jesus?

I thought they did

How they beat him

How they bruised him

So

Who killed Jesus

Whose to blame here

What a shame here

So much pain here

But He said no man takes my life from me

But I lay it down voluntarily

So

Who can kill Jesus

Nobody

(Chorus x4)

Down for me (x2)

Who killed Jesus

Somebody tell me

Who killed Jesus

Who had the power to do it

Who killed Jesus

I guess nobody

## Lyrics

There are many prodigal sons

On our city streets they run

Searching for shelter

There are homes broken down

People's hopes have fallen to the ground

From failures

(Pre-Chorus)

This is an emergency

(Chorus)

There are tears from the saints

For the lost and unsaved

We're crying for them, "Come back home"

We're crying for them, "Come back home"

And all Your children will stretch out their hands

And pick up the crippled man

Father, we will lead them home

Father, we will lead them home

There are schools full of hatred

Even churches have forsaken

Love and mercy

May we see this generation

In it's state of desperation

For Your glory

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Sinner, reach out your hands

Children, in Christ you stand

Sinner, reach out your hands

Children, in Christ you stand

(Chorus)

And all Your children will stretch out their hands

And pick up the crippled man

Father, we will lead them home

Father, we will lead them home

That’s What Love Is For

Appears on: WOW The 90s

## Lyrics

Sometimes we make it harder than it is

We'll take a perfect night

And fill it up with words we don't mean

Dark sides best unseen

And we wonder why we're feeling this way

Sometimes I wonder if we really feel the same

Why we can be unkind

Questioning the strongest of hearts

That's when we must start

Believing in the one thing that has gotten us this far

(Chorus)

That's what love is for

To help us through it

That's what love is for

Nothing else can do it

Melt our defenses

Bring us back to our senses

Give us strength to try once more

Baby, that's what love is for

Sometimes I see you

And you don't know I am there

And I'm washed away

By emotions I hold deep down inside

Getting stronger with time

It's living through the fire

And holding on we find

(Chorus)

Believing in the one thing

That has gotten us this far

(Chorus)

That's what love is for

To help us through it

That's what love is for

Nothing else can do it

Round off the edges

Talk us down from the ledges

Give us strength to try once more

Baby, that's what love is for

That's what love is for

That's what love is for

Melt our defenses

Bring us back to our senses

Give us strength to try once more

Baby, that's what love is for

That's what love is for

That's what love is for

That's what love is for

## Lyrics

This world can be cold and bitter

Feels like we're in the dead of winter

Waiting on something better

But am I really gonna hide forever?

Over and over again

I hear Your voice in my head

Let Your light shine, let Your light shine for all to see

(Chorus)

Start a fire in my soul

Fan the flame and make it grow

So there's no doubt or denying

Let it burn so brightly

That everyone around can see

That it's You, that it's You that we need

Start a fire in me

You only need a spark to start a whole blaze

It only takes a little faith

Let it start right here in this city

So these old walls will never be the same

Over and over again

I hear Your voice in my head

They need to know

I need to go

Spirit won't You fall on my heart now

(Chorus)

You are the fire, You are the flame

You are the light on the darkest day

We have the hope, we bear Your name

We carry the news that You have come to save

Only You can save

(Chorus)

You are the fire, You are the flame

You are the light on the darkest day

Start a fire in me

## Lyrics

Sometimes I just want to start over, 'cause everything looks like a wreck

And I need the courage to carry on, 'cause I can't see what's ahead

And there are places I've wished I could be, battles I've wanted to win

Dreams that have slipped through my hands

I may never get back again

(Chorus)

But I'm still a dreamer, a believer

Oh, I've lost my faith in so many things, but I still believe in You

'Cause You can make anything new

Sometimes I just wish we could say all the things that are easy to hear

Ignore the injustice we see and explain every unanswered prayer

But I'd rather speak honestly and wear a tattered heart on my sleeve

'Cause in the middle of my broken dreams, redemption is here

(Chorus 2)

And I'm still a dreamer, a believer

Oh, I've lost my faith in so many things, but I still believe in You

'Cause You are the answer, the redeemer

Oh, I've given up on too many things, but I'm not giving up on You

'Cause You can make anything new

I don't have every answer in life

But I'm trusting You one day at a time

'Cause You can make a weak heart stay alive forever

This is where Heaven and Earth collide

I lift my hands and give my life

This is how my weary heart stays alive

(Chorus 3)

Oh, I'm still a dreamer (This is where heaven and earth collide)

(I lift my hands and give my life)

Still a believer (This is how my weary heart stays alive)

Oh, You are the answer (Oh, this is where Heaven and Earth collide)

(I lift my voice and give my life)

The redeemer (This is how my weary heart stays alive, oh)

Cause You can make anything new

Yeah, You can make anything new

## Lyrics

I've been living out of sanity

I've been splitting hairs and blurring lines

I am a house that is divided

In my heart and in my mind

(Pre-Chorus)

I use one hand to pull you closer

The other to push you away

(Chorus)

If I had two hands doing the same thing

Lifted high, lifted high

I have a broken disposition

I'm a liar who thirsts for the truth

And while I ache for faith to hold me

I need to feel the scars and see the proof

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus x2)

(Bridge)

And if we just keep digging we can reach the foundation

Of our souls

And if we just keep cutting all the chains from our hearts

We'll lose control

And it feels like giving in

It feels like starting over

It feels like waking up, and you know it's coming

It feels like a brand new day

Open your eyes

(Chorus x3)

Lifted high

Lifted high

## Lyrics

Oh I could sing unending songs

Of how You saved my soul

Well I could dance a thousand miles

Because of Your great love.

My heart is bursting Lord

To tell of all You’ve done

Of how You changed my life

And wiped away the past

I want to shout it out

From every roof top sing

For now I know that God

Is for me not against me

Everybody's singing now 'cause we're so happy

Everybody's dancing now 'cause we're so happy

If only we could see Your face

And see yYou smiling over us

And unseen angels celebrate

For joy is in this place!

## Lyrics

I've been here before, now here I am again

Standing at the door, praying You'll let me back in

To label me a prodigal would be

Only scratching the surface of who I've been known to be

(Chorus)

Turn me around pick me up

Undo what I've become

Bring me back to the place

Of forgiveness and grace

I need You, need Your help

I can't do this myself

You're the only one who can undo

What I've become

I focused on the score, but I could never win

Trying to ignore, a life of hiding my sin

To label me a hypocrite would be

Only scratching the surface of who I've been known to be

(Chorus)

Make every step lead me back to

The sovereign way that You

(Chorus)

Turn me around, pick me up

Undo what I've become

Bring me back to the place

Of forgiveness and grace

I need You, I need Your help

I can't do this myself

You're the only one who can undo

You are the only one who can undo

You're the only one who can undo

What I've become

You have lead me to the sadness

I have carried this pain

All my back bruised, nearly broken

I'm crying out to You

(Chorus)

I will sing of Your mercy

That leads me through valleys of sorrow

To rivers of joy

When death like a gypsy

Comes to steal what I love

I will still look to the heavens

I will still seek Your face

But I fear You aren't listening

Because there are no words

Just the stillness (Just the stillness)

And the hunger (And the hunger)

For a faith that is Yours

(Chorus x2)

Alleluia, alleluia

Alleluia, alleluia

While we wait for rescue

With our eyes tightly shut

Face to the ground using our hands

To cover the fatal cut

Though the pain is an ocean

Tossing us around, around, around

You have calmed greater waters

Higher mountains have come down

(Chorus)

Alleluia, alleluia

Alleluia, alleluia

(Chorus x4)

Sing of Your mercy

Mercy

Your mercy

## Lyrics

Empty manger, perfect stranger, about to be born

Into darkness, sadness, desperate madness, creation so torn

We were so lost on earth, no peace, no worth, no way to escape

In fear, no faith, no hope, no grace, and no light

But that was the night before Christmas

Warm hay, cold sweat, a mother, not yet, praying Godspeed the dawn

She looks to her man, holding her hand, they wonder how long

And the shepherds, wise men come to find them and bow to a king

One star above shining on love, so bright it lit up the night before Christmas

And the world didn’t know mercy was meek and so mild

And the world didn’t know that truth was as pure as a child

The night before Christmas

The night before Christmas

And the world didn’t know, redemption was sweet and so strong

And the world didn’t know salvation was writing a song

The night before Christmas

The night before Christmas

The night before Christmas

Empty manger, perfect stranger, about to be born

Driving in your car, gossiping on your phone

Before you knew it you slipped and done flipped up off the road

Now you’re praying hoping for bright lights

"If I make it God I swear I'm gonna act right"

On my knees, on my knees

When I am weak You're strong

You meet me here

Oh, it starts with me

Why do I try to work outside of You?

Knocking down doors I shouldn't be going through

Well, I’m so tired, I’m so tired

You take my burdens off of my shoulders

You break the lies that hold me back

So I know that You're enough

It's been a year filled with problems

But now you're here almost as if to solve them

And I can't live in a world without you now

All my life I've been searching for you

How did I survive in this world before you?

'Cause I don't wanna live another day without you now

(Chorus)

This is the best thing

The best thing that could be happening

And I think you would agree

The best thing is that it's happening to you and me

All I wanna have is all that you can give me

And I'll give right back everything I have in me

'Cause nothing ever felt as right as this does right now

I'll go back to before we met, try and erase the past

Try harder to forget 'cause

Nothing will ever be as good as here and now

(Pre-Chorus)

'Cause when I looked into your eyes

And you dared to stare right back

You should've said, "Nice to meet you, I'm your other half."

This is the best thing

The best thing that could be happening

And I think you would agree

The best thing is that it's happening

This is the best thing (The best thing)

The best thing that could be happening (The best thing)

And I think you would agree (Whoa)

The best thing is that it's happening to you and me (Whoa, whoa)

The best thing is that it's happening to you and me

(Bridge)

Always knew (I'd find someone)

I never dreamt (It'd be like this)

'Cause you've surpassed all that I've hoped for and ever wished

And I'm trying so hard

With all my heart and mind

To make your life as good as you've made mine

(Chorus 3)

Oh, this is the best thing (The best thing)

The best thing that could be happening (The best thing)

And I think you would agree (Whoa)

The best thing is that it's happening to you and me

## Lyrics

Sometimes I realize, when I gaze in the skies

This spinning world is not my home

A place of mystery, a land of destiny

Is where I know one day I'll go

I dream of beauty I have never seen

I know the arms of heaven wait for me

And yet I feel His sweetness here and now

In this life on earth, I have found

(Chorus)

Un lugar celestial

Just a little bit of Heaven sent from up above

Un lugar celestial

Where the presence of my Father hold me in His love

Un lugar celestial

When all my skies are gray, I simply slip away

Into my secret hiding place

When hearts are cold as ice, the breath of paradise

Blows warm and gentle on my face

I know I need my time alone with Him

His healing waters flowing deep within

Don't have to wish upon a distant star

Cuz the light of love fills my heart

(Chorus)

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

El cielo me llama (Heaven is calling me)

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Caminando el las nubes (Walking on the clouds)

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh

Dulce beso de libertad (Sweet kisses of liberty)

## Lyrics

It was a test we could all hope to pass

But none of us would want to take

Faced with the choice to deny God to live

For her, there was one choice to make

(Chorus)

This was her time, this was her dance

She lived every moment, left nothing to chance

She swam in the sea, drank of the deep

Embraced the mystery of all she could be

This was her time

Though you are mourning and grieving with us

Death died a long time ago

Swallowed in life so that life carries on

Still it's so hard to let go

(Chorus)

What if tomorrow and what if today

Faced with the question oh what would you say?

(Chorus)

This is your time, this is your dance

Live every moment, leave nothing to chance

Swim in the sea, drink of the deep

Follow the mercy and hear yourself praying

Won't you save me? Won't you save me?

(Chorus x2)

This is your time, this is your dance

Live every moment, leave nothing to chance

Swim in the sea, drink of the deep

Embrace the mystery of all you can be

This is your time

Won't you save me?

This is your time

Won't you save me?

## Lyrics

There are days I've taken more than I can give

And there are choices that I made that I wouldn't make again

I've had my share of laughter, of tears and troubled times

This is has been the story of my life

(Chorus)

I have won and I have lost

I got it right sometimes, but sometimes I did not

Life's been a journey

I've seen joy, I've seen regret

Oh, and you have been my God through all of it

You were there when it all came down on me

And I was blinded by my fear, and I struggled to believe

But in those unclear moments, you were the one keeping me strong

This is how my story's always gone

(Chorus)

Ooh, through all of it (Through all of it)

(Bridge)

And this is who you are

More constant than the stars up in the sky

All these years of our lives

I, I look back and I see you

Right now, I still do

And I'm always going to

(Chorus)

Oh, and you have been my God through all of it

Oh, and you have been my God through all of it

## Lyrics

Well, he woke me up this morning

And started me on my way

Gave me grace, and strength

Just to see another day

And with each, new day

Brand new mercies I see

I'm telling you that's what the

Lord has done, for me

For the many ways that you've made

(Thank you Jesus)

Keeping me day by day I wanna say

(Thank you, Jesus)

Tell do you really mind if I testify

(Thank you, Jesus)

About the Lord being my full supply

(Thank you, Jesus)

I'm telling you he's done so much for me, and I can't tell it all

I'm telling you

He's done so much that I can't tell it all

That's how good He is to me

And when I think of the blessings bestowed upon me

I have no choice He's gonna get my praises

Gonna get Jesus on the mainline

Tell Him what I want

Call Him up and tell Him exactly what I want

This time I'm not only asking

I'm trusting for what I want

Well, I got Him on the line, why don't you get what you want

Anybody else wanna talk to the Master?

Thank You, Jesus

I really, really wanna say, Lord

Thank You, Jesus

Somebody pointing their hand just to say, Lord

Thank You, Jesus

Oh, I really wanna say thank You, Lord

Thank You, Jesus

Oh, He's done so much for me that I can't tell it all

No I won't be able to tell it all

That's how good He is to me

And when I think of the blessings bestowed upon me

I have no choice He's gonna get my praises

He's done so much for me that I can't tell it all

That's how good He is to me

And when I think of the blessings bestowed upon me

I have no choice He's gonna get my praises

Truly if I had ten thousand

Thank You, Jesus

It still wouldn't be enough to tell You

Thank You, Jesus

From the mercies You give to the grace

Thank You, Jesus

That's why I wanna say

Thank You, Jesus

Thank You, Jesus

From the love You’re good

Thank You, Jesus

From my going out to my coming in I wanna say

You have provided everything for me

That's what He's done for me

You have been my healer

That's what He's done for me

You've been my shelter

That's what He's done for me

And I wanna praise You, Lord

That's what He's done for me

That's what He's done for me

And I say oh, what you've done for me

When I think, all that's He's done for me

It makes me wanna praise You, Lord

That's what He's done for me

I never shall forget what you've done for me

Thank You, Jesus

Oh.. He gives me

Strength to make it, Strength to take it

I've got the strength to know that

Everything will work out fine

Strength to suffer, Strength to conquer

I've got the strength to know the blessings

Of the Lord are mine

Oh...be strong in the Lord in the power of

His might

Know in your heart every battle He will

Fight

Oh......

My strength

(Strength in my darkest hour)

(He is my strong tower)

(Strength to know you're coming soon)

(I know your strength can be renewed)

Be strong, you be strong

I was strengthened in my spirit when

He spoke to me

No more fear, I have peace

Who the Son sets free, I know clearly is

Free indeed

(Chorus 2)

Oh..

My strength

(Wait on Him, He's coming soon)

(I know your strength can be renewed)

(Strengthen my spirit, my inner man)

(He upholdeth me with His hand)

Oh... He gives me strength

(I can win a soul) I can do it

(I can reach my goal) I can do that, too

(I can keep the victory) I can do it

(For the oil of God's on me) I can do that, too

(If He tells me to wait) I can do it

(Chorus)

Triumphant

I am not defeated

Triumphant

The battle's already won

There's a greater power in me

There's a greater power in me

I will not be defeated

For I know that there's victory for me

I've already won because of the blood

Jesus said on Calvary

Triumphant

If I say it until I can see it

Claim it, it's already mine

The power of life and death is in the tongue

I speak life

(Chorus)

There's a greater power in me

There's a greater power in me

For whatever I lose on earth

Shall be losed in heaven

If I bind it, it's already bound

I've got victory stored up

I'm more than a conquerer, yes I am

More than a conquerer

More than a conquerer

More than a conquerer

More than a conqueror

I'm not defeated, I'm not defeated

I'm not defeated, I'm not defeated

I'm more than a conquerer

## Lyrics

No matter where you lead

We wanna follow You

Well trouble is we forget who we belong to

We chase the wind and tides

We chase the reasons why

Chase the spark inside each other’s eyes

Desires are at war

We want that final shore

Sailing on until we find what we’ve been looking for

(Chorus)

Hallelujah

We’re running to You

On fire from the mercy in Your eyes

And through the dark

Singing we are Yours

Your love will lead us through the fight

Like stars in the night

(Post-Chorus)

Stars in the night

Stars in the night

Lead us through the fight

We fix our eyes on what we know is true

Even in our shame grace makes a way through

Be our obsession, our constellation

You are light in and out of every season

So we keep pressing on

With our redemption song

No one can undo what You’ve done

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

All our lives

For the other side

Where we’ll never die

And in the darkest night

We will lift our eyes

The love that lies ahead is more than all we leave behind

(Chorus)

## Lyrics

He's coming on the clouds, kings and kingdoms will bow down

And every chain will break, as broken hearts declare His praise

Who can stop the Lord Almighty?

(Chorus)

Our God is the Lion, the Lion of Judah

He's roaring with power and fighting our battles

And every knee will bow before You

Our God is the Lamb, the Lamb that was slain

For the sin of the world, His blood breaks the chains

And every knee will bow before the Lion and the Lamb

Oh every knee will bow before the Lion and the Lamb

So open up the gates, make way before the King of kings

Our God who calls the saved is here to set the captives free

Who can stop the Lord Almighty?

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Who can stop the Lord Almighty?

Who can stop the Lord Almighty?

Who can stop the Lord Almighty?

Who can stop the Lord Almighty?

Oh who can stop the Lord Almighty?

Who can stop the Lord Almighty?

Oh who can stop the Lord Almighty?

Who can stop the Lord?

(Chorus)

And every knee will bow before the Lion and the Lamb

Every knee will bow before the Lion and the Lamb

## Lyrics

This is my father's world

And to my listening ears

All nature sings, and round me rings

The music of the spheres

This is my father's world

The birds their carols raise

The morning light, the lily white

Declare their maker's praise

This is my father's world

I rest me in the thought

Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas

His hand the wonders wrought

This is my father's world

Oh, let me never forget

That though the wrong seems oft so strong

God is the ruler yet

This is my father's world

Why should my heart be sad?

The Lord is King, let the heavens ring

God reigns, let the earth be glad

This is my father's world

He shines in all that's fair

In the rustling grass, I hear him pass

He speaks to me everywhere

In the rustling grass, I hear him pass

He speaks to me everywhere

## Lyrics

If it was all about religion

What to do, what to say

What to wear on a Sunday

All about perfection

Black and white, wrong or right, never grey

Well, I'd never make it

I'd never be good enough

I try to walk the line, pray that I'd find

Something that I knew was real

Began to realize, the harder I tried

The colder I'd start to feel

Until the moment, the second I met Your Love

(Chorus)

And then I threw my hands up, worries down

I remember when He showed me how

To break up with my doubt

Once I was lost, but now I'm found

No strings attached when He saved my soul

I want you to know the God I know

Oh, you gotta know, oh, the God I know

He is more than just a rescue

That's where it starts

Not where it ends, let freedom in

More than just a story, in the sky, wearing white

He's alive, in every moment

And now that I know this Love

(Chorus)

(Bridge x2)

What was I waiting for?

I came alive when I let go

All I had was a broken heart

Then He held me in His arms

(Chorus)

(Bridge x2)

## Lyrics

This song's dedicated to everyone who made it

Through Many test and trials

Hopeless situations

Now you have a story that the Angels can't sing in Glory

You're redeemed from the hand of the enemy

Here we go

Whether it's in the court room

Or fighting in the board room

Trying to feed your family

Or keep doubt underneath you

God is more than able He can turn the tables

So Turn and tell your neighbor now it's time for you to return the favor

(Chorus)

Can I get a witness, just need one witness

That's God's still working Miracles

Opening doors that were closed before

He's still making ways

When others say that there ain't no way

If you know this is true

This is what I need you to do

Get up with me and say

Can't nobody tell like it me

Can't nobody say it like

You don't know the story like me

Cause it's my, it's my testimony say

Can't Praise Him like me say

Can't Nobody Praise Him for me

He's given me the Victory

And now I got a, I got a testimony

Anybody ever had a sickness

Been bound by any illness

Laid up in a sick room

And the doctor said there's nothing he can do

While they called your family

You cried out Lord please help me

Cause you knew deep down inside that He would heal you

Now let's fast forward

Now the doctors can't explain it

Some way some how you made it

Never stopped believing

Now your walking in your healing

Everything's Not perfect

But you don't look what you been through

Now you can tell somebody

If He did for me He can do it for you

(Chorus)

Say, It's my, It's my Hey it's my testimony say

I got a, I got a I got a testimony say

Say, It's my, It's my Hey Say it's my testimony say

Now I got a, I got a I got a testimony say

## Lyrics

Where are the people that accused me?

The ones who beat me down and bruised me

They hide just out of sight

Can't face me in the light

They'll return, but I'll be stronger

(Chorus)

God, I want to dream again

Take me where I've never been

I want to go there

This time I'm not scared

Now I am unbreakable, it's unmistakable

No one can touch me

Nothing can stop me

Sometimes it's hard to just keep going

But faith is moving without knowing

Can I trust what I can't see

To reach my destiny?

I want to take control, but I know better

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Forget the fear, it's just a crutch

That tries to hold you back

And turn your dreams to dust

All you need to do is just trust

Hear now this declaration

From out across the nations

We need to wake up and understand

Many hurting hearts are crying

But our voices seem to be dying

Can You see the battle raging on?

(Pre-Chorus)

We are the light to reach this world

We are the salt preserving these souls

Let's show them the love that we've received now

(Chorus)

We are, we are in desperation

We need to reach this generation

We are speaking louder than before

We have a hope that's been forgotten

We have a love that will be broadened and

We are speaking louder than before

Take every chance that You can

Move together, taking a stand

Never losing heart, we'll speak as one

We need to be the image of Christ

To show love and serve at all times

We can make a difference in this land

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

Everything's so surreal, but this urgency I feel

We should be reaching out to all these desperate pleas, oh

The need is real, can't You feel this call to revolution?

My beating heart is breaking for them

That's why I'm speaking now, that's why I'm speaking now

(Chorus)

We are, we are, we are, we're speaking louder

We are, we are, we are, we're speaking louder

We are, we are, we are, louder than before

We are speaking louder than before, oh yeah

## Lyrics

She was walkin' in the garden one day

When a snake slithered 'round her feet

"Follow me right over to this tree

And I'll give you something good to eat"

"I don't know; are you sure?

I don't think it is right"

"Doesn't matter, just open your mouth

And take a tasty bite"

She said to to him "I think it's a sin

But boy does it look right."

He said to her "Just take my word

And i promise that you'll see the light"

(Chorus)

Why don't you skid-a-dee-e

'Cause I don't wanna see your face around here no more

Why don't you skid-a-lee-do

'Cause this is now and that was before

'Cause you are the devil and the devil is bad

You are the devil and the devil is bad

You are the devil and the devil is bad

You are the devil and you are bad

Tempted Him in the desert one day

"Are you the Son of God?"

"Turn these stones into wholesome bread

And make your hunger stop."

Even though His hunger had grown real strong

He turned and simply replied

"Man does not live on bread alone

But on the Word of God"

Turn from Him and worship me

And the kings of the world are Yours

Away from me with your evil ways

'Cause I worship and I serve only God

Left his seamless robe behind

Woke up in a stable crying

Lived and died and rose again

Savior for a guilty land

It’s a story like a children’s tune

And it’s grown familiar as the moon

So now I ride my camel high

And I’m aiming for the needle’s eye

I chased the wind, but I chased in vain

I chased the earth, but it would not sustain

(Chorus)

There’s only one who never fails

To beckon the morning light

There’s only one who sets loose the gales

And ties the trees down tight

When all around my soul gives way

He is all my hope and stay

There’s only one, only one Holy One

Lord, You are my Prince of Peace

But this war brings me to my knees

See there’s a table You’ve prepared

And all my enemies are there

But where my Shepherd leads

Where else can I go

Who else fills my cup till it overflows
