Lyrics

This I Know

This I Know - Mark Altroge Mark Altroge

Chorus

This I know: my God is for me, this I know.; This I know: my god is on my side.; My God is for me, this I know.
: If God did not spare His only Son but delivered Him up for us all,; Will he not give us every good thing when we come in his name and call. Ohh.

Chorus

Let us draw near the throne of grace for mercy and help in our need.

For Jesus is ever praying for us, He is living to intercede. Ohh.

Chorus

We Celebrate the Love of God - D. Adler - D. Adler

Chorus

We celebrate the love of God, we celebrate the love of God,; Spread His love and His grace abroad, we celebrate the love of God.; We celebrate the love of God, we celebrate the love of God,; Let all heaven and earth applaud, we celebrate the love of God.
: All we like sheep had gone astray, everyone turned to his own way.; None was righteous, no, not one, turned our backs on the holy one.; So death became our just reward, separation from our Lord.; The price was much too high to pay, praise the Lord, He made a way!

Chorus

God came to earth to give His life, willing to make the sacrifice.

He bore our sins upon the cross, for our sake He suffered loss.

Oh, the devil thought that he had won, in the tomb they laid the Son.

But he rose again with power on high, conquered death so we won’t die.

Chorus

His love is greater, His love is stronger, His love is higher than any other thing.

He showed us mercy, He showed compassion, He gave forgiveness,

That is why we sing, oh, that is why we sing!

Chorus

Come Just As You Are – J. Sabolick

Come just as you are. Hear the Spirit call. Come just as you are.; Come and see, come receive, come and live forever.
: Come just as you are. Hear the Spirit call. Come just as you are.; Come and see, come receive, come and live forevermore.
: Life everlasting, strength for today, taste the living water, and never thirst again.; Come just as you are. Hear the Spirit call. Come just as you are.; Come and see, come receive, come and live forever.; Life everlasting, strength for today, taste the living water, and never thirst again.; Life everlasting, strength for today, taste the living water, and never thirst again.; Come just as you are. Hear the Spirit call. Come just as you are.; Come and see, come receive, come and live forevermore.

Just Reach Out – J. Schlitt & R. Gootee

Sometimes the night seem to go on for days

When it’s hard to see the light through the darkness and the haze.

While the world around you makes you feel out of place

And the burdens that you carry are just too hard to face.

Chorus

Just reach out and He’ll reach in.; Take your broken heart and make it whole again.; It don’t matter who you are or where you been; Just reach out and He’ll reach in.
: Standing in a crowd, but still all alone; Crying out for answers that nobody knows.; Ev’rybody’s busy looking out for themselves,; Is there anyone who really cares about anyone else?

Chorus

You say you’ve walked ten thousand steps away

But don’t you know that it’s only one step back?

Because the One who hears you when you pray

Is the one who’s there beside you, and He’ll never walk away.

Chorus (2X)

We Rejoice In The Grace of God - Steve & Vicki Cook Steve & Vicki Cook

He has clothed us with His righteousness, covered us with His great love.

He has showered us with mercy, we delight to know the glorious favour,

Wondrous favour of God.

Chorus

We rejoice in the grace of God, poured upon our lives.; Loving kindness has come to us because of Jesus Christ.; We rejoice in the grace of God, our hearts overflow.; What a joy to know the grace of God.
: He brought us into His family, made us heirs with His own Son.; All good things he freely gives to us, we cannot conceive what God’s preparing,; God’s preparing for us.

Chorus (2X)

Higher Ground - Johnson Oatman Jr., and Charles H. Gabriel Johnson Oatman Jr., and Charles H. Gabriel

Higher ground, higher and higher.

I’m pressing on the upward way, new heights I’m gaining every day.

Still praying as I’m onward bound, Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

Chorus

Lord, lift me up, and let me stand by faith on heaven’s, heaven’s tableland.; A higher plain than I have found. Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
: My heart has no desire to stay where doubts arise and fears dismay,; Though some may dwell where these abound, my prayer, my aim is higher ground.

Chorus

I want to scale the utmost heights, and find a gleam of glory bright.

But still I’ll pray, til heaven I’ve found, Lord, lead me on to higher ground.

Chorus (2X)

Secret Ambition - M. W. Smith, W. Kirkpatrick & A. Grant M. W. Smith, W. Kirkpatrick & A. Grant

Young man, up on the hillside teaching new ways;

Each word winning them over, each heart a kindled flame.

Old men watch from the outside guarding their prey,

Threatened by the voice of the paragon, leading their lambs away,

Leading them far away.

Chorus

Nobody knew His secret ambition, nobody knew His claim to fame,

He broke the old rules steeped in tradition, He tore the holy veil away.

Questioning those in powerful positions, running to those who called His name.

But nobody knew His secret ambition was to give His life away.

His rage shaking the temple, His word to the wise.

His hand healing on the seventh day, His love wearing no disguise.

Some say, "Death to the radical – he’s way out of line."

Some say, "Praise be the miracle. God sends a blessed sign,

A blessed sign for troubled times."

Chorus (2X)

Jesus Will Still Be There - J. Manderville J. Manderville

Things change, plans fail, you look for love on a grander scale.

Storms rise, hopes fade and you place your bets on another day.

Chorus

When the goin’ gets tough, when the ride’s too rough, when you’re just not sure enough,

Jesus will still be there. His love will never change

Sure as the steady rain.

Jesus will still be there. When no one else is true

He’ll still be lovin’ you.

When it looks like you’ve lost it all and you haven’t got a prayer

Jesus will still be there.

Time flies, hearts turn a little bit wiser from lessons learned.

Sometimes weakness wins and you lose your foothold once again.

Chorus (2X)

I Will Tell the World – R. Bolz

I have a heart, I have a voice, I have a testimony.

I am a follower of Christ, He is the one and only way to heaven,

I am so glad I met Him,

I want everyone to know.

Chorus

I will tell the world He is returning, I have touched the fire, I feel it burning,; Until everyone on earth has heard I will tell the world.
: I have a dream, I have a goal, I have a destination, His call is burning in my soul.; It is an obligation I will cherish, Oh may it never perish, Father, make my voice your own.

Chorus

To any nation, to any land, on this world below.

Holy Spirit, here I am. Send me, I will go.

Chorus (2X)

Let the Children Come – M. Card

Jesus looked so weary from the worries of the day,

But the look on His face lightened when the children came His way.

Before He could reach out to them and join them in their play

His grown-up band of followers told the kids to go away.

Chorus

Let the children come, don’t dare drive them away.

In them the kingdom comes, hear the holy, foolish things they say.

The springtime of their life decides the adults they’ll become.

So let the children come. Please let the children come.

The golden gift of childhood lasts a lifetime if you try.

The simple, trusting faith they own keeps scholars mystified.

And so the Lord adopts us as His daughters and His sons,

For the kingdom is for children, so please let the children come.,

Chorus (2X)

If This World - M. Tumes, T. Hayes, E. Sundin & M. Heimermann M. Tumes, T. Hayes, E. Sundin & M. Heimermann

Na na na na, oh yeah!

Na na na na, oh yeah!

Do you feel you’ve been disowned, left outside in the cold and without a home?

Do you think that no one cares that you’re lost and alone and without a prayer?

Don’t give in to the lie that there’s no one you can turn to.

Don’t lose heart, there is hope, there is someone who will never desert you.

Chorus

Oh, if this world is a lonely place for you, fall into the arms of love.

If this world is a lonely place for you, there’s a God who you can trust who’ll comfort you and life you up.

Na na na na, oh yeah!

Na na na na, oh yeah!

Are you looking for a friend who will stand by your side til the very end?

Someone who is always true to His word, be assured He won’t turn from you?

Put your faith in the One who will never let you down.

He has proven His love, open up to all He has for you now.

Chorus

He hears your cry, He sees your tears, He knows your pain and all your fears.

He waits for you with open arms, He longs to live inside your heart.

You’ll never be alone again.

Chorus

Resurrection Power - arr. C. Cymbala - arr. C. Cymbala

There’s a feeling in the air that God is ev’rywhere,

And His resurrection power is moving in this hour that Jesus might be glorified. (repeat)

I will glorify the name of the Lord, I will glorify His name!

And His resurrection power is moving in this hour that Jesus might be glorified.

The Reason We Sing

The Reason We Sing - D. and M. Tunney

He has brought us together, each of us a different gift to bring.

We’ll serve Him forever, even if the cost is everything.

He has called us to be faithful, so with one heart we give this offering.

Chorus

The reason we sing, the reason we lift our voice is more than just making harmony.; The reason we sing is to praise the One who gave His Son to be the reason we sing.
: More than just an emotion, His spirit gives us joy that we can’t hide.; We will not be silent, we’ve got to let the world hear what’s inside.; And as we praise Him with our music, Jesus is the One we glorify.

Chorus

Ba dah ba dah….

The reason we sing, the reason we lift our voice is more than just making harmony.

The reason we sing is to praise the One who gave His Son to be the reason we

Sing! The reason we sing!

Over You - D. Meece and M. Hudson

Great wars have been fought, great crusades of the saved have been launched over you.

Their heretic searches and inquisitorial taunts over you.

At least, that’s what was said by the ones who were dreaming of lifting their heads over you.

Chorus

Over you. There is nothing, there’s no one, there’s no other Lord over you.

Over you. You’re the great king, the one God, the Lord of us all,

There is none, there is none over you. Over you, over you, over you.

The skeptics laugh "Faith is past, God is dead, we are at last over you.

Our infatuation’s lost all fascination, we’re now over you."

But then, not all agree. You know, as for myself, Lord, I never will be over you.

Chorus

Under your mercy, dear God, I will stay,

Under your sheltering hand I will pray,

Under your covering word I have learned how to say.

Chorus

Chorus

The Servant Song - R. Gillard

Brother, let me be your servant, let be as Christ to you.

Pray that I might have the grace to let you be my servant too.

We are pilgrims on a journey, we are brothers on the road,

We are here to help each other walk the mile and bear the load.

I will weep when you are weeping, when you laugh, I’ll laugh with you,

I will share your joy and sorrow, til we’ve seen this journey through.

When we sing to God in heaven, we shall find such harmony,

Born of all we’ve known together of Christ’s love and agony.

Brother, let me be your servant, let me be as Christ to you;

Pray that I might have the grace to let you be my servant too.

Shut De Do

Chorus

Shut de do, keep out de devil. Shut de do, keep de devil in the night.

Shut de do, keep out de devil. Light de candle, ev’rythin’s alright.

Light de candle, ev’rythin’g alright.

Oh when I was a baby child, Shut de do, keep out de devil.

Good and bad was just a game. Shut de do, keep de devil in the night.

Many years and many trials, shut de do, keep out de devil,

They proved to me they’re not the same. Shut de do, keep de devil in the night.

Chorus

Oh Satan is an evil charmer. Shut de do, keep out de devil.

He’s hungry for a soul to hurt. Shut de do, keep de devil in the night.

And without your holy armor, shut de do, keep out de devil.

He will eat you for dessert! Shut de do, keep de devil in the night.

Chorus

Say der, hey, hey, hey, shut de do.; Hey, hey, hey, shut de do.; Hey, hey, you better shut de do.; Say a prayer, he won’t be back no more.
: My mama used to sing this song, shut de do, keep out de devil.; Papa used to sing it too. Shut de do, keep de devil in the night.; Jesus called and took them home. Shut de do, keep out de devil,; And so I sing this song for you. Shut de do, keep de devil in the night.

Chorus

Chorus

Beyond Belief - B. Hartman

We’re content to pitch our tent where the glory’s evident,

Seldom do we know the glory came and went.

Moving can seem dangerous in this stranger’s pilgrimmage,

Knowing that you can’t stand still, you cross the bridge.

Chorus

There’s a higher place to go beyond belief, beyond belief.; Where we reach the next plateau beyond belief, beyond belief.; And from faith to faith we grow, t’wards the center of the flow,; Where he beckons us to go beyond belief, beyond belief.
: Leap of faith without a net makes us want to hedge our bet,; Waters never part until our feet get wet. Whoa.; There’s a deeper place to go where the road seems hard to hoe.; He who has begun this work won’t let it go. Let it go!

Chorus

And it takes so long to see the change.

But we look around and it seem so strange.

We have come so far but the journey’s long,

And we once were weak but now we’re strong.

Chorus

There’s a higher place to go beyond belief, beyond belief.

Where we reach the next plateau, beyond belief, beyond belief.

Ohhh, beyond belief, beyond belief.

Ohhh, beyond belief, beyond belief.

I Will Bring You Home - M. Card

Tho’ you are homeless, tho’ you’re alone, I will be your Home.; Whatever’s the matter, whatever’s been done, I will be your Home.; I will be your Home. I will be your Home. In this fearful, fallen place I will be your Home.
: When time reaches fullness, when I move my hand, I will bring you Home.; Home to your own place in a beautiful land, I will bring you Home.; I will bring you Home. I will bring you Home. From this fearful, fallen place I will bring you Home.; I will bring you Home.

We're In This Thing - D. Huntsinger

People always talking sad and lonely, but you won’t hear that kind of talk from me.; Cause even though I too was once so lonely, now somebody’s walking close to me.
: Cause we’re in this thing together, Jesus and me, Jesus and me.; We’re gonna fight a winning battle because we’ve got a team that just can’t be beat.
: Oh, He’s my captain, and I follow close to Him.; When troubles face me, I don’t worry over them,; Because we’re in this thing together, Jesus and me, Jesus and me. (repeat); Together forever! It’s gonna be Jesus and me!; You know it’s gonna be Jesus and me! Yeah!

Hallowed Be Thy Name - B. Mason & R. Lawson

Chorus

You are love, you are life, you are Loard over ev’rything,; Alpha, omega, Jehovah, the King of kings,; Wonderful, waymaker, worthy of my offering,; Hallowed be thy name. (repeat)
: You’re the answer to all of my problems and you solve them, hallowed be thy name.; You supply all my needs and I call you abba, father, hallowed be thy name.; You’re the almighty fortress in a time of tribulation, hallowed be thy name.; And I am more than a conqueror in every situation, hallowed be thy name.

Chorus

You’re the only God and there will never be another, hallowed be thy name.

And ten thousand angels could not tell how much I love you, hallowed be thy name.

I’m gonna lift you up, lift you higher and higher, hallowed be thy name.

And ev’rybody will see that you set my soul on fire, hallowed be thy name.

Chorus

Chorus

Hallowed be thy name, hallowed be thy name, hallowed be thy name,

Hallowed be thy name, hallowed be thy name, hallowed be thy name,

Hallowed be thy name, Hallowed. Be. Thy. Name.

Song Of the Land - B. Brown, E. Emerson and B. Morrison

Somewhere there’s a land where the sun brightly shines

And across the tundra flow rivers wind,

Where love lives forever and dreams never die,

Somewhere there’s a land for you and I.

Somewhere there’s a land where the snow softly falls,

Elders are cherished and the past recalled,

Where tomorrow is sparkling in the eye of a child,

Somewhere there’s a land for you and I.

Chorus

It’s the song of the land in the heart of the common man,; Raise your voice and join hands. Sing the song of the land.
: Somewhere there’s a land where the wind gently blows,; We’ll raise a family in a home of our own; Where people are peaceful and wild geese fly,; Somewhere there’s a land for you and I.

Chorus

Chorus

I Have Decided - M. Card

Chorus

I have decided I’m gonna live like a believer, turn my back on the deceiver,; I’m gonna live what I believe.; I have decided being good is just a fable, I just can’t cause I’m not able,; I’m gonna leave it to the Lord. I’m gonna leave it to the Lord.
: There’s a wealth of things that I profess, I said that I believed.; But deep inside I never changed, I guess I’d been deceived.; Cause a voice inside kept telling me that I’d change by and by,; But the spirit made it clear to me that kind of life’s a lie.

Chorus

So forget the game of being good, and your self-righteous pain,

Cause the only good inside your heart is the good that Jesus brings.

When the world begins to see you change, don’t expect them to applaud.

Just keep your eyes on Him and tell yourself, I’ve become the work of God.

Chorus

Chorus

Go Light Your World - C. Rice

There is candle in every soul; some brightly burning, some dark and cold.

There is a spirit who brings a fire, ignites a candle and makes his home.

So carry your candle, run to the darkness.

Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn. Hold out your candle for all to see it.

Take your candle and go light your world.

Take your candle and go light your world.

Frustrated brother, see how he’s tried to light his own candle some other way.

See now your sister, she’s been robbed and lied to, still holds a candle without a flame.

So carry your candle, run to the darkness, seek our the lonely, the tired and worn,

Hold our your candle for all to see it.

Take your candle and go light your world.

Take your candle and go light your world.

We are a family wholse hearts are blazing, so let’s raise our candes and light up the sky.

Praying to our father in the name of Jesus – make us a beacon in darkest time.

So carry your candle, run to the darkness.

Seek out the helpless, deceived and poor,

Hold out your candle for all to see it. Take your candle and go light your world.

Carry your candle, run to the darkness.

Seek out the hopeless, confused and torn.

Hold out your candle for all to see it. Take your candle and go light your world.

Take your candle and go light your world. Light your world. Light your world.

That's Why I Need You - M.R. Hopkins

The car needs the wheels to go, go, go!

The needle needs a thread to sew, sew, sew!

A boat needs an oar to row, row, row!

Just like I need you, I do, just like I need you!

The watch needs a hand to tell its time!

The head needs a brain to make up its mind!

We need you and me to make all kinds,

Just like I need you, I do, just like I need you!

That’s why I need you.

What a boring world this would be if me were you and you were me.

The more we work together, it gets better and better,

I’ll be your eyes, so you can see!

The watch needs a hand to tell its time!

The head needs a brain to make up its mind!

We need you and me to make all kinds,

That’s why I need you, I do,

That’s why I need you, I do,

That’s why I need you! Oooh!

You’ve got to spread the word, you’ve got to spread the word.
