All That Really Matters

Lyrics by Ray Jackson
Melody by Ray Jackson, George Heil

It seems like today is gone before it's here
And tomorrow's just a dream...on a sleepless night
Yesterday never happened...at least I'm pretty sure
All that's real is now and then it's gone...

[Chorus]
In a world where nothing matters, except what won't last
Focus on the Eternal and forget about the past
And love one another just like Jesus did
This is all that matters when you see God in the end

The years keep going faster, faster all the time
I hold on to tomorrow and then it slips away
It's not easy to be happy, but I do my best
When a dream gets shattered, I remember the rest...

(Chorus)
(Solo)
(Chorus x2)

When you see God in the end...
When you see God in the end...

Behind the Music:

Philippians 3:12-14 (NLT)

I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things
or that I have already reached perfection!
But I keep working toward that day
when I will finally be all that Christ Jesus saved me for
and wants me to be.

No, dear brothers and sisters, I am still not all I should be,
but I am focusing all my energies on this one thing:
Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead,

I strain to reach the end of the race and receive the prize for which God,
through Christ Jesus, is calling us up to heaven.

Armageddon (Army of God)

Lyrics by George Heil, Eric Davis, and Ray Jackson
Melody by Sigwa Maradufu, Ray Jackson, and Eric Davis

They cursed His Name and spat on Him as the crowd stood jeering
But as He died, the earth did shake...the temple curtain sheering
The Light of Jesus...shining from the cross
Glorious beacon...searching for the lost!

Army of God...our battle flag's unfurled!!!
Stand up and shout it! Yeah, shout it to the world!!!
Army of God...our battle flag's unfurled!!!
Army of God...shout it to the world!!!
Shout it to the world!

[Chorus]
Laugh in Satan's face...he ain't got no power
The end is coming soon...no man knows the hour
God's as strong today...as He was in the days of old
Jesus is coming back, just as fortold!

(Chorus)
(Solo)

I see our LORD upon the Hill, His armor's shining
In His Hand the Sword of God...our final battle winning
When Gabriel blows his horn, the dead shall rise
We shall follow Christ...to our home in the skies!

(Chorus)

Shout it to the world!!!
Shout it to the world!

Behind the Music:

Ephesians 6:11-13 (NLT)

Put on all of God's armor
so that you will be able to stand firm
against all strategies and tricks of the Devil.

For we are not fighting against people made of flesh and blood,
but against the evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world,
against those mighty powers of darkness who rule this world,
and against wicked spirits in the heavenly realms.

Use every piece of God's armor to resist the enemy in the time of evil,
so that after the battle you will still be standing firm.

Because He Lives

Lyrics and melody by Bill and Gloria Gaither

God sent His Son...they called Him Jesus
He came to love...heal and forgive
He lived and died...to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove...my Savior lives!

[Chorus]
Because He lives...I can face tomorrow!
Because He lives...all fear is gone!
Because I know...He holds the future...
And life is worth the living...just because He lives!

How sweet to hold...our newborn baby
And feel the pride...and joy he gives
But greater still...the calm assurance
This child can face uncertain days...because Christ lives!

(Chorus)

And then one day...I'll cross that river
I'll fight life's...final war with pain
And then as death...gives way to vict'ry
I'll see the lights of glory and...I'll know He reigns!

(Chorus)

And life is worth the living...just because Christ lives!

Behind the Music:

Hebrews 12:2-3 (ESV)

Looking to Jesus, the Founder and Perfecter of our faith,
who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross,
despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

Consider Him who endured from sinners such hostility against Himself,
so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.

Blessed Be Your Name

Lyrics and melody by Matt Redman

Blessed be Your Name in the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow...Blessed be Your Name
Blessed be Your Name when I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness...Blessed be Your Name

[Pre-chorus]
Every blessing You pour out I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, LORD, still I will say

[Chorus]
Blessed be the Name of the LORD! Blessed be Your Name!
Blessed be the Name of the LORD! Blessed be Your glorious Name!

Blessed be Your Name when the sun's shining down on me
When the world's all as it should be...Blessed be Your Name
Blessed be Your Name on the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering...Blessed be Your Name

(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)

You give and take away, You give and take away!
My heart will choose to say, "Lord, blessed be Your Name!"
(Repeat)

(Chorus x2)

(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)

Behind the Music:

Psalm 113:2-5 (NLT)

Blessed be the name of the LORD forever and ever.

Everywhere—
from east to west—
praise the Name of the LORD.

For the LORD is high above the nations;
His Glory is far greater than the heavens.

Who can be compared with the LORD our God,
who is enthroned on high?

Dare to Die

Lyrics by Ray Jackson and Eric Davis
Melody by Ray Jackson

Well, I'm standing on the edge of Hell
And I'm fighting on the front-lines now
I'm out of the fold and into the fire
Presenting my body as a living sacrifice
I'm pushing back the darkness now
And I can't conform...not to this world
But I must be transformed by the renewing...
Yeah, the renewing of my mind!!!

One would hardly die for a righteous man,
Though perhaps for a Good Man
Someone'd even dare to die! Would you dare to die...
Would you dare to die...for Christ?!?
Would you dare to die, would you dare to die,
Would you dare to die...for Christ?!?

Well, I'm standing on the edge of Hell
And I'm fighting on the front-lines now
I'm out of the fold and into the fire
Presenting my body as a holy sacrifice
God demonstrates His love toward us
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us
Justified by His blood, so we shall be
Saved from God's wrath through Him!!!

(Chorus x2)

Would you dare...to die...for Christ?!?
Would you dare...to die...for Christ...

Behind the Music:

Romans 5:6-8 (NASB)

For while we were still helpless,
at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

For one will hardly die for a righteous man;
though perhaps for the good man
someone would dare even to die.

But God demonstrates His own love toward us,
in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Romans 12:1-2 (NASB)

Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God,
to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice,
acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

And do not be conformed to this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,
so that you may prove what the will of God is,
that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

Days of Elijah

Lyrics and melody by Robin Mark

These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the Word of the Lord
And these are the days of Your servant Moses
Righteousness being restored
And though these are days of great trials
Of famine and darkness and sword
Still we are the voice in the desert crying
"Prepare ye the way of the Lord"

[Chorus]
Behold He comes...riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun...at the trumpet call
So lift your voice it's the Year of Jubilee
And out of Zion's hill Salvation comes

And these are the days of Ezekiel
The dry bones becoming as flesh
And these are the days of Your servant David
Rebuilding a temple of praise
And these are the days of the harvest
The fields are white in the world
And we are the laborers in Your vineyard
Declaring the Word of the Lord

(Chorus)

Who was and Who is and Who is to come
Who was and Who is and Who is to come
(Repeat)

(Chorus)

There's no God like Jehovah!!! There's no God like Jehovah!!!
There's no God like Jehovah!!! There's no God like Jehovah!!!
(Repeat)

(Chorus x2)

Behind the Music:

Revelation 1:5-8 (NASB)

And from Jesus Christ,
the Faithful Witness,
the Firstborn of the Dead,
and the Ruler of the Kings of the Earth.
To Him who loves us and released us from our sins by His blood—

and He has made us to be a kingdom,
priests to His God and Father—
to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever.  Amen.

Behold, He is coming with the clouds,
and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him;
and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him.
So it is to be.  Amen.

"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God,
"who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."

Give Me Hope

Lyrics and melody by Eric Davis

To the morning, it is today
And the evening...on its way
Tomorrow is, to the morning
Come to pass...the last affirming

[Chorus]
Give me Hope, stay the thoughts
To the moments... when all seems lost
Give me Hope...to keep these thoughts
For all is given from the HOST

Fill these days...and replenish
Strength is given, abounding wish
And the words...that do flow
That they...all should know

(Chorus)

Follow me, unto the mount
And prepare...the table’s count
I will set...unto the HIGH
Forever...bye and bye

(Chorus)

For all is given from the HOST
For all is given from the HOST...

Behind the Music:

Romans 15:4-6 (NLT2)

Such things were written in the Scriptures long ago to teach us.
And the Scriptures give us hope and encouragement
as we wait patiently for God's promises to be fulfilled.

May God, who gives this patience and encouragement,
help you live in complete harmony with each other,
as is fitting for followers of Christ Jesus.

Then all of you can join together with one voice,
giving praise and glory to God,
the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

God's Fingerprints

Lyrics by Ray Jackson and Tony Addie
Melody by Noisy Kung Fu

[Chorus]
Do you ever see what I do...behind the scenes, because I love you?!?
Did you ever see what I gave...on that day to take your sins away?!?

I was there for you in those broken times
I was there for you when your best friend died
I am there for you and by your side
I am there for you on the darkest night
I'll be there for you when you need love
I'll be there for you to heal your cuts
I'll be there for you no matter what
I'm in your heart and I'm God above!

(Chorus)

There is nothing you can ever do...To take me away from you
You're saved by Grace through faith, now nothing...can separate
Not death or life, or angels or demons
Or anything created...'cause you're in Christ Jesus

There's nothing you can ever do (echo) To take me away from you (echo)
There's nothing you can ever do (echo) To take me away, to take me away!

(Chorus x2)

Behind the Music:

Romans 8:38-39 (NLT)

And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from His love.
Death can't, and life can't.
The angels can't, and the demons can't.
Our fears for today, our worries about tomorrow,
and even the powers of Hell can't keep God's love away.

Whether we are high above the sky or in the deepest ocean,
nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us
from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Had Enough

Lyrics and melody by Ray Jackson

I give my all every day, but it's not good enough
You tell me that it's okay, but I know it's really not
I still fall on the ground, giving in like before
You announce all my wrongs, yelling from the mountain tops
It seems to me that you are trying to seal my fate

[Chorus]
I've had enough...I can't take more
I've had enough...of your words
Go away...leave now!!!
You're not welcome, I have God!!!

Guilty again, redemption is at hand
But you try to steal away the little faith that I have
Because you fear what I'll do when I walk in Christ
I will overcome by the strength of Christ's Blood
His Sacrifice has paid it all, because I trust in Him

(Chorus x2)

Behind the Music:

James 4:4-7 (NLT)

You adulterers!
Don't you realize that friendship with this world
makes you an enemy of God?
I say it again, that if your aim is to enjoy this world,
you can't be a friend of God.

What do you think the Scriptures mean when they say
that the Holy Spirit, whom God has placed within us,
jealously longs for us to be faithful?

He gives us more and more strength to stand against such evil desires.
As the Scriptures say,
"God sets himself against the proud,
but he shows favor to the humble."

So humble yourselves before God.
Resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.

He Loves You That Much

Lyrics and melody by Ray Jackson

This song goes out to the sinners and the lost
Jesus came and died for you...He paid all the cost
Then He rose again, so the Spirit could live in you
Yeah, He did it all, just so He could be with you!

He held out His Hand, and He waited for my touch
He did it all for me, because He loves me that much
He washed all my dirt away, and He made me white as snow
All because He loves me more than I'll ever know

There will come a day when you'll have no excuse
'Cause, if you know Jesus, you'll know He hates hypocrisy too
He's calling out your name and He wants you to hear
Walk into the unknown...perfect love casts out all fear

And He's holding out His Hand, and He's waiting for your touch
He did it all for you, because He loves you that much
He washed all the dirt away, and He made you white as snow
All because He loves you more than you'll ever know!!!

It's for freedom you've been set free, to live abundantly
So, if you claim to have Christ, then show it with your life
Show His love to all...show His love to ALL!!!

'Cause He's holding out His Hand, and He's waiting for their touch
He did it all for them, because He loves them that much
He’ll wash all their dirt away, and make them white as snow
All because He loves them more than they'll ever know!!!

Because He loves them more than they'll ever know!!!
Because He loves them more than they'll ever know...

Behind the Music:

Titus 3:3-7 (NLT)

Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient.
We were misled by others and became slaves
to many wicked desires and evil pleasures.
Our lives were full of evil and envy.
We hated others, and they hated us.

But then God our Savior showed us His kindness and love.

He saved us, not because of the good things we did,
but because of His mercy.
He washed away our sins
and gave us a new life through the Holy Spirit.

He generously poured out the Spirit upon us
because of what Jesus Christ our Savior did.

He declared us not guilty because of His great kindness.
And now we know that we will inherit eternal life.

How Great Thou Art

Lyrics and melody by Stuart K Hine

O LORD my God! When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

[Chorus]
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee:
"How great Thou art, how great Thou art!"
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee:
"How great Thou art, how great Thou art!"

And when I think that God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin!

(Chorus)

When Christ shall come, with shouts of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim, "My God, how great You are!!!"

(Chorus)

How great You are!!! How great...You...are..."

Behind the Music:

Psalm 104:1-3 (NLT)

"Praise the LORD," I tell myself;
O LORD my God, how great You are!
You are robed with honor and with majesty;

You are dressed in a robe of light.
You stretch out the starry curtain of the heavens;

You lay out the rafters of Your home in the rain clouds.
You make the clouds Your chariots;
You ride upon the wings of the wind.

How He Loves

Lyrics and melody by John Mark McMillan

He is jealous for me; love's like a hurricane, I am a tree
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy
When all of a sudden, I am unaware
of these afflictions eclipsed by glory
And I realize just how beautiful You are
And how great Your affections are for me

And, oh... How He loves us so...
Oh, how He loves us... How He loves us so...

[Chorus]
Yeah, He loves us! Oh, how He loves us!
Oh, how He loves us! Oh, how He loves!!!
Yeah, He loves us! Oh, how He loves us!
Oh, how He loves us! Oh, how He loves!!!

So, we are His portion and He is our prize
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes
If grace is an ocean we're all sinking

So, heaven meets earth like a sloppy wet kiss
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest
I don't have time to maintain these regrets
when I think about...THE WAY...

(Chorus x2)

Behind the Music:

Psalm 31:7-8 (NLT)

I am overcome with joy because of Your unfailing love,
for You have seen my troubles,
and You care about the anguish of my soul.

You have not handed me over to my enemy
but have set me in a safe place.

Justification

Lyrics by Tony Addie
Melody by George Heil

The thing so trivial seemed so important
I thought about the now, but not about the next day
In my mind: justification; In my heart: desecration
In my mind: justification; What do I need? Sanctification

I stuck my hand in the fire, I got burned again
I never seem to learn...I fought the pain again
Scar after scar, let the healing begin
Gotta give Christ reign again

In my mind: justification; In my heart: desecration
In my mind: justification; What do I need? Sanctification

Change is the need, I gotta learn to flee
On bent knees, I find the LORD of thee
Deliberation: path to salvation
Sin again, face ramification

In my mind: justification; In my heart: desecration
In my mind: justification; What do I need? Sanctification
In our minds: justification; In our hearts: desecration
What do you need? Sanctification; What do I need? Sanctification
What do we need? Sanctification; This is our proclamation
What do we need? Sanctification; This is our procla-ma-tion

Behind the Music:

1 Timothy 6:11-12 (NASB)

But flee from these things, you man of God,
and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith,
love, perseverance and gentleness.

Fight the good fight of faith;
take hold of the eternal life to which you were called,
and you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

New Way to Live

Lyrics by Ray Jackson, Tony Addie
Melody by Ray Jackson

Life was drone, it left me drained
My stone cold face concealed the pain
Walking numb once again
This is no way to live...

Standing alone, life was bane
There was no place for my thoughts to drain...
Deaf and dumb...to the bitter end...
This is no way to live...

[Chorus]
Laying broken for all to see
And it's all because of me
I cry out again for Your mercy
And shout Your praise 'til my lungs bleed
'Cause You provide my every need
Give me a new way to live!!!

In spite of me and who I am,
You've kept me coming back again
You never failed to send me Your love
You showed a new way to live!!!

In spite of me and all I've done,
You've cared for me as Your son
You send me blessings from above
You showed a new way to live!!!

(Chorus)

Give me a new way to live!!!
Give me a new way to live!!!

Behind the Music:

Psalm 142:4-5 (NLT)

I look for someone to come and help me,
but no one gives me a passing thought!
No one will help me;
no one cares a bit what happens to me.

Then I pray to You, O LORD.
I say, "You are my place of refuge.
You are all I really want in life."

Noise Pollution

Lyrics and melody by Ray Jackson

Outward appearances is where you have your pride
But like whitewashed tombs, you're rotten inside
You are who you are when you're all alone
Destruction and misery; paths of peace you've not known

[Chorus]
Shouting out praise, but living out hypocrisy
God's crying out, "Why are you mocking Me?"
Change from the inside is the only solution
For keeping your praise from being noise pollution

Lord, change me from the inside
Change my heart and change my mind
Set my heart to seek after Your own
Set my mind to focus on Your throne

(Chorus)

"You honor with your lips, but your hearts are far away from me"
Your throat's an open grave, with your tongue you keep deceiving
The poison of a deadly snake is dripping from your lips
Your mouth is full of cursing, and it's full of bitterness!!!

(Chorus x2)

Change from the inside is the only solution
For keeping your praise from being noise pollution
For keeping your praise from being noise pollution!!!

Behind the Music:

Isaiah 29:13 (GNB)

The LORD said, "These people claim to worship Me,
but their words are meaningless,
and their hearts are somewhere else.
Their religion is nothing but human rules and traditions,
which they have simply memorized."

Ephesians 4:21-24 (NLT)

Since you have heard all about Him [Christ] and have learned the truth that is in Jesus,

throw off your old evil nature and your former way of life,
which is rotten through and through,
full of lust and deception.

Instead, there must be a spiritual renewal of your thoughts and attitudes.

You must display a new nature
because you are a new person, created in God's likeness—
righteous, holy, and true.

Oh Sweet

Lyrics by Eric Davis
Melody by Ray Jackson

I used to slip in and watch you sleeping
Counting every tiny breath you made
So afraid that they might stop
Knowing my life would end, for your leaving

[Pre-chorus]
Oh, sweet souls of my love
No matter where you go, no matter what you do
I will always be that part of you!

[Chorus]
Oh, sweet souls of my love
Smiling child in my hand, trying hard to stand
To prove who you are... to prove what you can!!!
Oh, sweet souls of my love...

Please don't take it too seriously
Yet take it to your fullest...forgive the foolish
And right the wrong, if you can
'Cause it takes only one voice

(Pre-chorus)

Oh, sweet souls of my love
I will always be there!
I will always be there!
Sweet, sweet souls of my love!
Oh, sweet souls of my love!
Oh, sweet souls of my love...

Zephaniah 3:15-17 (NLT)

For the LORD will remove His hand of judgment

And the LORD Himself, the King of Israel, will live among you!
At last your troubles will be over, and you will fear disaster no more.

On that day the announcement to Jerusalem will be,

"Cheer up, Zion!  Don't be afraid!

For the LORD your God has arrived to live among you.
He is a Mighty Savior.
He will rejoice over you with great gladness.
With His love, He will calm all your fears.
He will exult over you by singing a happy song."

Knowing that He took away the pain!
So you can live the part!

Are you going to the Promised Land?

Yes, I will see him with my own eyes.
I am overwhelmed at the thought!

Risin' Inside Me

Lyrics by Noisy Kung Fu
Melody by George Heil

Feelin' that pain risin' inside me!
Reachin' for the Hand of God to guide me
Seein' my children grow up and leave me!
Bein' a dad ain't never been easy

Feelin' that pain risin' inside me!
Reachin' for the Hand of God to guide me
World's in a blur and there ain't no hidin'!
Can't go on...man, it's frightenin'

Feelin' that pain risin' inside me!
Reachin' for the Hand of God to guide me
Gotta find rest in my soul!
That kinda rest is in the LORD

(Instrumental)

Feelin' God's Spirit risin' inside me!
Hearin' God's Voice as He says to me,
"Seein' my children grow up and leave me!
Bein' a Dad ain't never been easy..."

Feelin' God's Spirit risin' inside me!
Holdin' the Hand of God; He's guiding
Praisin' the LORD, in this storm!
Lookin' toward day when it's no more

Feelin' God's Spirit risin' inside me!
Walkin' with God, man it's exciting
Findin' rest for my soul in the LORD!
Countin' the steps to my Heavenly home

Behind the Music:

Romans 8:23-26 (NLT)

And even we Christians,
although we have the Holy Spirit within us
as a foretaste of future glory,
also groan to be released from pain and suffering.
We, too, wait anxiously for that day
when God will give us our full rights as His children,
including the new bodies He has promised us.

Now that we are saved,
we eagerly look forward to this freedom.
For if you already have something,
you don't need to hope for it.

But if we look forward to something we don't have yet,
we must wait patiently and confidently.

And the Holy Spirit helps us in our distress.
For we don't even know what we should pray for,
nor how we should pray.
But the Holy Spirit prays for us
with groanings that cannot be expressed in words.

So Many Miles

Lyrics and melody by Ray Jackson

I've traveled so many miles, for so many years
So much pain...so many tears
I've traveled so many miles, doin' it my way
Knowing what you desire, LORD,
But feeling that empty pain again and again!!!

I've wanted what everyone wants
I've seen what everyone sees
It's chasing after the wind
Vanity of vanities!

I've traveled so many miles, for so many years
So much pain...so many tears
I've traveled so many miles, doin' it my way
Knowing what you desire, LORD,
But feeling that empty pain again and again (and again…)
Knowing what you desire, LORD,
But feeling that empty pain!!!

And I'm tired from the miles, I'm weary from the years
I'm sick from the pain, I'm empty from the tears
Been running in circles, Been running in place
All my decisions, only adding to the chains
(Repeat)

Make me want what You want!!! Make me see how You see!!!
I don't want to live this way; I want to live free!
Make me want what You want!!! Make me see how You see!!!
I don't want to die this way; I want to live eternally!!!

I've traveled so many miles, for so many years
So much pain...so many tears
I've traveled so many miles, doin' it my way
Knowing what you desire, LORD,
But feeling that empty pain again and again (and again…)
I don't want to live this way, I want to live free!
I want to live free!!!
I don't want to live this way, I want to live free!
I want to live free!!! I want to live free...

Now teach me Your decrees.

Help me understand the meaning of Your commandments,
and I will meditate on Your wonderful deeds.

I weep with sorrow;
encourage me by Your Word.

Keep me from lying to myself;
give me the privilege of knowing Your instructions.

I have chosen to be faithful;
I have determined to live by Your regulations.

Lord, set me on fire, with your Holy Spirit
I wanna shout Your Name from the mountaintops
And I...want everyone in the world
To hear and know that you’re the Living God

Ain’t gonna spend the rest of my life holdin’ it inside
Wanna let everybody know that Jesus saved my soul
And He wrote my name in the Lamb’s Book of Life
Gonna stand and be counted for God

(Chorus)

If you love Jesus, then let it show
Tell everyone you know of the blessings you’ve received
And tell the story of His Eternal Love
And of the saving Blood that was shed on sweet Calvary

(Chorus x3)

Behind the Music:

Jeremiah 20:9 (ESV)

If I say, "I will not mention him, or speak any more in His Name,"
there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones,
and I am weary with holding it in, and I cannot.

Psalm 84:1-2 (NLT)

How lovely is Your dwelling place, O LORD of Heaven’s Armies.

I long, yes, I faint with longing to enter the courts of the LORD.
With my whole being, body and soul,
I will shout joyfully to the living God.

Under the Spout

Lyrics and melody by Noisy Kung Fu

[Chorus]
I was under the spout...when the Glory came out
God put this charge on me: to tell everyone I see
And I know, and I know, and I know, and I know that He set me free
When He sent His Son to die...for a sinner like me

We were lost in the darkness...with no way to see
Then Christ came inside...and now we've been set free
We were under the spout...when the Glory came out
And now we've been set free! Yeah, we've been set FREE!!!

(Instrumental)
(Chorus x2)

Now I get to live in Heaven...for eternity
'Cause He sent His Son to die...for a sinner like me
(Repeat)

'Cause He sent His Son to die...
Yeah, He sent His Son to die...
Yeah, He sent His Son to DIE...for a sinner like ME
For a sinner like me!!!

Behind the Music:

Romans 5:5-6 (NET)

And hope does not disappoint,
because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts
through the Holy Spirit who was given to us.

For while we were still helpless,
at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

Where's Your Faith?

Lyrics and melody by Ray Jackson

You say, "We need survival" Always asking for revival
I say, "Check your vitals" Why do you keep on dying?
Materialistic idols... Hearts and lives are prone to idle
When relationships are most vital, I've only one thing to say...

[Chorus]
So where's your faith?!? Is it in God, things, or people?
Where's your faith?!? Are you putting it in your steeple?
Where's your faith?!? Where's your faith?!?!?!?!

You're focusing on the dont's and do's, becoming modern-day Pharisetical Jews
Thinking good works are salvation dues
Your love's grown cold because of fast food,
Garage doors, and drive-thru's; You're missing out on heavenly hues
Let Jesus' love flow through you, so you can answer Him when He says...

(Chorus)

So open up your mind, open up your heart
Let the Spirit flow...flow right through you!!!
So lose this life you've made, so that you may truly live
Live the life that God has made just for you

(Chorus x2)

Where's your faith?!?

Behind the Music:

James 2:15-20 (NLT)

Suppose you see a brother or sister who needs food or clothing,

and you say, "Well, good-bye and God bless you;
stay warm and eat well"—
but then you don't give that person any food or clothing.
What good does that do?

So you see, it isn't enough just to have faith.
Faith that doesn't show itself by good deeds is no faith at all—
it is dead and useless.

Now someone may argue,
"Some people have faith; others have good deeds."
I say, "I can't see your faith if you don't have good deeds,
but I will show you my faith through my good deeds."

Do you still think it's enough just to believe that there is one God?
Well, even the demons believe this, and they tremble in terror!

Fool!  When will you ever learn that faith
that does not result in good deeds is useless?

You Always Kept the Faith

Lyrics by Eric Davis
Melody by Ray Jackson

I've had my soul crushed on the jagged rocks of life
Been so close to the edge, I almost lost my mind
So deep in despair, no reprieve in sight
Oh, why was I so blind?!?

[Chorus]
You always kept the faith; never far from the heart
Love is a circle, Baby; with no end or start
You always kept the faith; never far from the heart
Love is a circle, Baby; with no end or start

Been down to the bottom and fought my way back to the top
You know it's a long way to travel, when the light is so dim
The road seems so empty like it's never gonna end
And I keep aiming for the next stop!!!

(Chorus)

So many regrets to live, you said you could be taken away
From the poems of the poet, to the songs of the bard
They always seem somehow to lead me this way
Yet it's always so hard!!!

(Chorus)

With no end or start... You always kept the faith
With no end or start... You always kept the faith
You always kept the faith...

Behind the Music:

Colossians 3:12-15 (NLT)

Since God chose you to be the holy people whom He loves,
you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy,
kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.

You must make allowance for each other's faults
and forgive the person who offends you.
Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.

And the most important piece of clothing you must wear is love.
Love is what binds us all together in perfect harmony.

And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts.
For as members of one body you are all called to live in peace.
And always be thankful.

You Guide My Way

Lyrics and melody by Ray Jackson

I know that I'm resting in Your hands, LORD
And I know that I am sealed by Your Spirit, LORD
I want to walk by Your side without fear of falling
But I know it's only a matter of time before I do
LORD, be there to pick me up...again...
So, LORD, be there to pick me up...again...

[Chorus]
Pick me up, help me to rise,
Hold my hand, and guide my way!
Pick me up, help me to rise,
Hold my hand, and guide my way!
You guide my way!

I know that I'm living in Your Grace, LORD
And I know that I'm walking in Your Presence, LORD
I've walked through many storms, even on water with You
You showed me I can do all things through the strength I have in You
LORD, help me to glorify You in all I do
So, LORD, help me to glorify You in all I do

(Chorus)

And though I've fallen, I can't give up...I can't give in...NO!
And though I've fallen, I can't give up...I can't give in...NO!
And though I've fallen, I can't give up...I must get up again!
I can't give up...well I must get up again!!!

(Chorus)

Guide my way!!!

Behind the Music:

Psalm 73:22-26 (NLT)

I was so foolish and ignorant—
I must have seemed like a senseless animal to You.

Yet I still belong to You;
You are holding my right hand.

You will keep on guiding me with Your counsel,
leading me to a Glorious Destiny.

Whom have I in heaven but You?
I desire You more than anything on earth.

My health may fail,
and my spirit may grow weak,
but God remains the Strength of my heart;
He is mine forever.
