When I had no faith, I had no hope at all Then You graced me with Your love And my life turned around You took me in, changed my sinful mind You pulled me from the living dead And gave me true life
Now I have faith, now I have hope Now I have love, oh Lord, give me plenty of love Now I have peace deep in my heart I pray oh Lord, may Your love shine through me
When I was a child I spoke like a child, I thought like a child and I dreamed like a child But when I became a man I put away those childish things Now I believe like a child
I receive from You, my Lord Everything that's holy I worship You, my Lord, The true God, One and Only Teach me, break me down to the ground And build me up to preach Your Word In every city and every town
When I was a child I spoke like a child, I thought like a child and I dreamed like a child But when I became a man I put away those childish things Now I believe like a child
He said, "Let the children come to me"
Big Guy
(in memory of our friend and brother Chester Price)
I will always remember The night he first came along We were searching for someone A voice to sing our song The room was dark and empty As his voice began to rise In the magic of that moment I saw tears in every eye
He was a big guy with a song in his soul And a twinkle in his eye A big guy with a heart of gold And a voice that could make you cry
The time we spent together It ended all too soon Though memories last forever The hurt still feels so new A man who loved his children A man who loved his wife A man in love with Jesus Christ Who gave Him back his life
Oh, it's so hard to let go And believe that you're gone Still I know that we'll see you again I can still hear your song
The big guy with a bigger heart Was humble 'cause he knew The little things that you do in life They make a difference too You never knew a stranger You were everyone's best friend Friendships that grow fonder Are never supposed to end
I will always remember The night he first came along
I asked you, "Are you saved?" You say, "Lord, I hope so." Let me tell you just one thing If you don't know, the answer is "no" Let me take you by the hand I'll show you the way Follow me to the Promised Land Receive that gift today There's nothing you can do alone To point you to the Savior's throne
Not by works, saved by faith Grace, mercy and love
I asked you, "Are you saved?" You say, "Yes I am." Then I asked you are you ashamed To confess Him before man? Will you serve Him at any cost Dedicate your life today Or will He become a vision lost Turn your back and walk away So will you put away your pride And ask Him now to live inside?
Not by works, saved by faith Grace, mercy and love
You know, Lord, sometimes in life We expect you to make the blind to see To make the lame to walk again To make the deaf hear And we forget to depend on you, day in, day out For all of our needs, all our desires All of our hopes and dreams
It's the little things, the little things You do That draw me closer to you It's the little things The little things You do, Jesus
There have been times in my life When I fell down on my knees And you worked a miracle in my life Yes, You delivered me Even though I know, You gave your own life Then rose from the grave But all those times I was strong Thought I was alone You were there and I'm always amazed
The gentle way You touched my life Quench the fire, remove my strife I expect the unexpected things You do I take my burdens upon myself And all my faith is left on the shelf You reach out, I feel You there I realize that You still care
One house of many colors built of living stones Every tongue and tribe and nation Bow before His throne People of many colors What will the vineyard yield? Every kindred, every nation In the mission field
Can we reach the world? Voices of the people, send me with love Oh Lord, I feel them hurting Do I love them enough?
Go forth to all the nations All around this earth This is the life of My child What is His life worth?
Some are called to distant places Some outside their door Go now and reap the harvest The souls that He died for
You say it's not logical That God could live in the flesh Born of a virgin, died on a cross Rose from the grave to live again But you believe that man came from ape Where's the logic in that? You believe everything came from A little dust and a great big bang?
So you say you want to learn About the ways of my Lord You're educated to the point That you can't believe His Word Every one of your theories and methods Never show the way how You trust science and history Come on, do the math now
One cross, three nails, forgiven Are you forgiven now? One cross, three nails, forgiven It's simple, I'll show you how One cross, three nails, forgiven
Well tell me now are you really sure That there's no Heaven or Hell No afterlife no Living Father Not as far as you can tell Laugh at me behind my back You better listen to what I've said Please consider to change your heart 'Cause someday you're gonna wake up dead
So many people trained as a child Learning in school that God is a lie Lord forgive us for letting it be this way And forgive us for silence When you've given us something to say
Sometimes we're torn about what to do There are times when your dreams Aren't what God has planned for you We all face pressure and we must decide To do our own will or let God control our lives
A spiritual place where you must stand On the banks of a river in a foreign land But just like in scripture it will change your life When you cross that river Nevermore will your heart hide
Cross, cross the river, the River Jordan Cross, cross the river, in your life Cross the River Jordan You have to cross that river in your life
Man in the mirror looks hard at you Look at him forever it will never change you Hearer of the word, go do what it tells you Change comes from God alone Only He can make you new
I was leading myself Down a long and empty road I met my savior (face to face) right there Jesus touched me and changed my life Cause empty roads go nowhere Take my vision so I can clearly see Move my heart, change my ways So I can seek your face
I chose my paths in life And gave it my all My best wasn't good enough Not close at all But I chose my goals in life Jesus made it clear to me Take my vision so I can clearly see Move my heart, change my ways So I can seek your face
On the road to Damascus I can feel it in my heart On the road to Damascus Where Jesus changed my heart On the road to Damascus I can feel it in my heart and in my soul
On the road to Damascus Can you feel it in your heart? On the road to Damascus Where Jesus changes hearts On the road to Damascus Can you feel it in your heart And in your soul
I allowed Him to change my life Will you allow Him to change your life?
The harder we run, the sooner we will fall No matter how far we run We will never outrun His call In the desert, the desert of destiny In the desert, the desert of destiny
Walk away your life, make circles in the sand I run from Him but still Feel the pulse of the Master's hand It holds me tight, in the desert of destiny It holds me tight, in the desert of destiny
Your bride, Your people, Your will in Your time Your bride, Your people, Your will, Yeshua Reign over me, rain, fall fresh on me Jaha yetlubu, Shaba hu (He'll come for His people)
I just want to thank You, my Lord For being so good My heart overflows, my God I'm grateful to You It's more than just the gifts that You give It's more than anything that You do I just want to thank You, my Lord For just being You
I just want to thank You, my Lord For being so good My heart overflows, my God I'm grateful to You You're righteous and You're just, oh Lord Every day Your mercies are new I just want to thank You, my Lord For just being You
When I'm weary and discouraged When I'm lonely and afraid You come to me, You comfort me I'm unwilling and unworthy I am sinful and ashamed Still You come to me, You comfort me
You're my comfort, You're my courage You're my shelter in life's storms You're a lover and a warrior You're the awesome Son of God You are closer than a brother You are tender, You are strong I am overwhelmed with mercy I am overwhelmed with love I'm in awe
When my dreams have turned to ashes When I feel like I have failed You come to me, You comfort me, When I'm empty and I'm hurting When the tears fall down like rain You come to me, You comfort me
You're my comfort, You're my courage You're my shelter in life's storms You're a lover and a warrior You're the awesome Son of God You are closer than a brother You are tender, You are strong I am overwhelmed with mercy I am overwhelmed with love
I'm unwilling and unworthy I am sinful and ashamed Still You come to me, You comfort me
I come to you my brother With sorrow in my heart There's so much I want to tell you And I don't know where to start I see the pain that's in your eyes It cuts me like a knife I see how much I've hurt you And I want to make it right
I come to you my sister Laying down my foolish pride I'm haunted by these feelings That I carry deep inside I feel your sorrow, caused by me My heart sinks in my chest The love for you I've hidden there Should have been my very best
Hear my confession, I've been wrong Can you forgive me for the things I've done We've been apart for far too long Can you forgive me, I've been wrong We come to you our Father So burdened by our sin We need cleansing and forgiveness We need healing deep within Breaking the mold's so hard to do We need Your power to live in truth Help us live and love like You The way You taught us to
They say confession is good for the soul God will forgive us all Let's open the door, open our heart We need a brand new start
Do you wake up in the morning With a hunger in your soul? Are you weak and heavy laden Are the years taking a toll? Are you looking for an answer Are you searching for the truth? If you want to find a new life Here's some powerful good news
Cristo vive, Cristo vive, Cristo vive, vive hoy Jesus lives, Jesus lives, Jesus lives, He lives today
As we looked around for meaning Slowly we began to see God became a man and entered Into our reality He lives among us, loved us fully Still we nailed Him to a tree But the grave it couldn't hold Him And He rose to set us free
Are you ready for a new start Do you really want to change Are you willing to surrender For a life that's rearranged You can't work your way to heaven But His grace you can receive Taste His mercy and forgiveness And in His name believe
Cristo vive, Cristo vive, Cristo vive, vive hoy Jesus lives, Jesus lives, Jesus lives, He lives today
Father, forgive me, for I have sinned Hurry forgive me, so I can do it again Somehow I got way off course No repentance, no remorse
There's an eclipse in my heart He's workin' on me, He ain't done There's an eclipse in my heart And I know, I know, it's blocking out the Son
I've fallen down now, separated by sin How many times now, I don't know where to begin So many idols shining bright in my world Money, hobbies, even children, I've placed before You, Lord
There's an eclipse in my heart He's workin' on me, He ain't done There's an eclipse in my heart And I know, I know, it's blocking out the Son
Empty, I feel empty inside Exposed to the world, no place to hide They're hurting me, my spirit feels robbed My heart bleeds, I just want it to stop They say "you're not good enough" But God uses me anyway Now their eyes have a far away look Their mouths have nothing to say
Sometimes we need to be broken by God Instead, Your people have torn me down, Lord All I ask are blessings, so I can serve Share my heart, give my life, spread your Word
I want to live in the Holy of Holies I want to live with You by my side I want to live in the Holy of Holies Face to face with the maker of life
Take me Lord, into your throne room Take Your place, Lord, up on that seat I behold you there At the Right Hand Of God, I worship You, I worship You I fall at Your feet
Your love washes over me And it brings me to my knees I remember Your sacrifice On the cross of Calvary The crown of thorns You bore Nails in Your hands and feet What kind of love, my God, Would pay this price for me?
So pure, shining brighter than a million stars So strong, Your hands will always bear the scars Your promises are written in Your blood There's nothing weak about Your love
You were despised, rejected A Man of suffering You carried our sorrows Brought us peace instead of pain Pierced for our offenses Shattered for our evil deeds You died in our place And by Your stripes we are healed
There's nothing weak about falling on your knees There's nothing weak about the garden of Gethsemane There's nothing weak about surrender to the cross There's nothing weak about Your love
People may reject you Scared by what they've heard Remember, it's not really you They're rejecting The Lord They might be offended They might get annoyed But God's holy word It never comes back void
When you least expect a miracle A loved one comes around Cleansed by forgiveness Angels make a joyful sound You may never know it "Was it something that I said?" One dark moment You placed a glimpse of God in their head
People all around you See the way you live Go ahead and speak the word It's what you have to give God will not reject you He's the force you need He will reap the Harvest Are YOU planting the seeds?
Look into their faces Look into their eyes Feel their desperation Listen to their cries Reconciliation is the message that we bring Let them know that they are heirs with the King
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord Changes are made, people get saved, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord Hearts are changed when people get saved Praise the Lord
Underground church, a silent voice They risk it all and still make the choice To turn their backs on Many customs, many ways Rip the curtain, hear their prayer Theres a new song rising in the air Chains are breaking like the breaking of new day
Pray for dawning of a glorious day When all oppression will pass away Death and dying then will be no more The day is coming, yes it's coming soon They are ready, tell me now, are you? This new dawn is almost at the door
Red dawn rising Lift the people up The believers are in hiding The Word is hidden in their hearts Red dawn rising Let the Son shine down See the rising The rising of The Son
Search your heart, do you hide your faith While saints are overseas Wanting to break out of bondage And longing to be free
We See the Day
(dedicated to the vision of a new day for the city of Detroit... Jesus prayed that His followers would be one)
So many years We've broken the heart of our Father So many times divisions have torn us apart Believing a lie, living in fear of each other When our skin matters more Than what's in our hearts
City of shame, haunted by memories Violence and hate like a scourge on our land The world shakes its head at what we've become Will the people of Christ Hide their heads in the sand?
But we see the day When this city will shine like the Son And we see the day When the power of the Spirit will fall We see the day When the walls that divide us are broken We humble our hearts and we pray We see the day
We'll never see with scales on our eyes We will not win living with fear and pride At a glance we look different, but realize That we all share the same spirit inside But we see the day When this city will shine like the Son And we see the day When the power of the Spirit will fall We see the day When the walls that divide us are broken We humble our hearts and we pray We see the day
Can we look through eyes that are color blind? Will we ever leave our wicked past behind? We can see the day When we can bridge the gap Must we fall again before we change all that?
