The Everlasting

We expect the best
and receive our dues...
Everything is here to lose

You foolish ones,
material doesnt last
All fades to forgotten past


Ever onward,
without end....
A life with Him,
our Godsend!

He is everlasting...
Forever love...


Welcome to reality
where nothing is real
Only God can not fail

It's a shaken world...
theres nowhere to stand
He is the stable land!


Ever onward,
without end...
A life with Him,
our Godsend!

He is everlasting...
Forever love...


Good deeds alone
will not do the job
They are nothing to God

There is one way
and one way alone
To sit at the throne

Sunset
(aka The Narrow Road)

My life, My God,
is in your hands
Your power and love
show no ends

I can't do it alone
never again
I need your guidance
my Father, my friend


Be with me always
My Lord, My God
The sun will never set again...


Show me Your way
so I may live...
This world will end
and we will begin...

Bring me your love,
love neverending
I shall live forever
my Savior, the One

Battlefield

Angels on high
wielding their swords
They come from the sky

Demons below
with menacing howls
Revealed from the shadows

An ongoing war
the losers decided
What do they fight for?

The powerful blows
unending and fierce
They fight for our souls


The battle wages on
within the hearts of men
Good will win for certain
It's just a matter of when

He's There

Lying in bed covered by sheets
you're wondering "why" again
drifting further into darkness
feels like there's no way to win

But..., there is a way...
because there is a God
He cares for you
The Almighty One

Driving the dark streets at night
not another car around
drifting deep into thought
you wonder "does it all matter"

But..., there is a reason...
because there is a God
He loves you
The Almighty One

Losing Battle

From the darkness
Creeping ever closer
Demons tempt sin
Think you'll be the loser

Night looms all around
In the distance you hear the howls
Try to run away
Surrounded by their growls

A sign appears before your eyes
One which no man can miss
The sign of the beast...
and the end, 666

The dragon comes to greet
Expecting to find friends
The fallen bow to him
Each ready to meet his end

A war consumes the heavens
The Devil's battle cry will rise
he attacks, but with a single blow...
Satan meets his demise

Saving Power

It's taken from me again
my pleasure, my pain
Nothing is left of this
no love, no shame

Feel it try to take hold
my heart, my soul
The darkness inside grows
no hope, no goals

Only one place left to go
my safety, my will
The arms of the One who cares
no hurt, no guilt

A victory from deep within
my hero, my breath
Darkness is defeated again
no hate, no death

The Tree of Wisdom

The beauty of the moment
is lost in the chaos of the day

The clarity of the picture
is blurred with the idea of the frame

The calmness of the pond
is marred by the shades of gray

The innocense of the man
is created by He who takes the blame

The shining of the sun
is darkened... for it will not stay

The glory of the victory
is forgotten in this worldly game

Face the Music

When the people hear the music
they fall to their knees
and pray to the One who came...
When the people face the music
they fall down
for they know the time has come...

Face the music
Face the Maker
Face your worldly torture...
Face the music
Face the Maker
Face your eternal future...

Prodigal Son

When did you receive this touch
it's broken from me and gone
I lost it so long ago
never thought I'd feel it again...

Broken, battered, torn, and tattered
my soul lies on the cutting-room floor
I thought the world would bring joy
but, boy, was I wrong

Where did my plan go so wrong
it seemed all was going well
Happiness was just in reach
Reality came crashing in...

Broken, battered, torn, and tattered
my soul lies on the cutting-room floor
I thought the world would bring joy
but, boy, was I wrong

You found me here lost and hurt
soothed my pains and helped me up
I know I am back with friends
I see the light I'd left behind...

Broken, battered, torn, and tattered
my soul lies on the cutting-room floor
I thought the world would bring joy
but, boy, was I wrong
Now I've scattered all that mattered
to reopen my long shut door
I'm back to the Giver of joy
and now I am strong

Now I've scattered all that mattered
to reopen my long shut door
I'm back to the Giver of joy
and now I am strong

Blessing

Imagine a place of musical silence,
hidden in a void of senseless violence.
A place where only angels tread,
beyond the limits of the dead.


Israfel spends hours tucked away,
waiting for the judgment day.
The burning one in perfect serenity,
called by the order of the Trinity.


If only mortals could see this place,
a site born by divine grace.
I know if I could view this wonder,
I would have to stop and ponder.


Why cant angels live in heaven,
and eat its sacred bread unleaven?
What makes humans so precious,
that angels are destined to bow to us?


Image is the answer to my question.
God made us from his own reflection.
A blessing which weve taken for granted,
the blessing that was specially planted.


The blessing caused the splitting of heaven,
not all angels agreed with Gods conception.
Lucifer didn't want to serve the new creation,
he wanted to take the ruling position.


He was cursed and cast out of paradise,
forever waiting for his terrible demise.
Fooling himself with his earthly powers,
placing his hopes on unstable towers.


Commemorate our blessing,
and remember it well.
Dont be caught with Satan,
in his eternal hell.

Saved

Lost in a barren wasteland
I'm shattered and left to die
I'll take pride in my oasis of sand
Almost ready to say goodbye
A stranger approaches from far away
He's come to offer a helping hand
I'd grown weak and asked Him to stay
Now I've seen the Promised Land

I have found myself, and now I'm free!
You're in me...
You're in me...
You're in me...
Eternity...

Trapped in a swamp of suffering
Mud in my eyes, I can not see
Sinking deeper, I try to scream
This could be the end of me
I feel an arm pull me out
Wipe away the mud, restore my sight
I see a smile to erase all doubt
I look above to see the light

I have found myself, and now I'm free!
You're in me...
You're in me...
You're in me...
Eternity...

For the wages of sin is death,
but I know One who intercedes...
He's the One who paid my penalty!
He's the One who died for me!

I have found myself, and now I'm free!
You're in me...
You're in me...
You're in me...
Eternity...

One Above All

I give thanks to the Living One
the One who did not fall
I give glory to the Holy One
the One who saved us all

One above all
We lift up your righteousness
Creator of all
We praise you for saving us

Judas

All I see is the blood
The blood on my hands
The innocense I silenced
The blood of the sins

Haunted to eternity
No escape for me

The guilt builds inside me
Can't take much more pain
The silver for my treachery
Hits the temple floor again

Haunted to eternity
No escape for me


My lips feel dead...
cursed by the kiss used to betray Him...
My heart feels dead...
stopped by the look in His eyes...


Haunted to eternity
No escape for me

This is the end of me!

Whitewater

a bridge over things forgotten
memories run by
the things I made for myself
without a reason why

forget those times of saying goodbye
forget those times when you've cried
forget those smiles with no reply

times of struggle
feeling pain
no one else would care
times of hardship
greatest change
take it up with prayer

the crashing waters break
along a jagged shore
the feelings feel so dreadful
the things I did before

forget those times you didn't try
forget those times you were not satisfied
forget... take up your wings and just fly

Only in the Silence

I wanna feel that bass
wanna feel it over me
I wanna feel the sound
embrace me

KEEP IT LOUD
I only want it to be loud
KEEP IT LOUD
I only want my life drowned

I wanna escape from here
don't wanna live this life
I wanna escape from this
turn it up

KEEP IT LOUD
I only want it to be loud
KEEP IT LOUD
I only want my life drowned


why must we run from the silence
it's the only thing we need
why are we afraid of the silence
are we afraid to hear God speak?
Let's turn it down
let the music go
let the music end
let the love begin
let the Savior in


TURN IT DOWN
I want to hear my Father's voice
TURN IT DOWN
I want to be alone with Him

Life of Love

a loss of time
a loss of space
where is my memory
and how did it leave
a loss of strength
a loss of me
I've needed the Savior
to set it free

echoing in my head
I feel the words escape
I can't take it
the loss of this now......
breaking through the wall
I feel the wind on my face
what I needed
was a life of love......

a gain of trust
a gain of might
a new found strength
from the water of life
a gain of joy
a gain of me
now I know the Savior
and I'm free

Tribulation

the world is coming down... it's getting hard to stand
no worries... they'll just think up some sorry excuse again
the darker skies get... the darker times get for them
sometimes they feel like they're left for dead

I breathe a sigh
and wait for You...

I stand alone... feeling like the only one left to stand
I'm wondering when things will finally come to an end
hopeful though it's hopeless now for those not saved
sometimes I feel like they chose their death

I breathe a sigh
and wait for You...

Won't Run Away

No... you can't stop me
No... you can't stop me
No... you can't stop me
No... you can't stop me NOW!!!

I'm the runaway
runnin from the staring eyes
I'm too afraid
to stand or to cry
So I run to Him
the One who fights for me
I don't need to worry

He stands for me
because I believe in Him
I don't need to run away
because He's with me

I felt so cold
without you to warm me
I needed you
before the world destroyed me
I won't give up
because we'll stand together
We'll stand forever

The Path

Things feel right this time
and maybe they are
but I'm just not sure
what my future will be
or what is God's will for me
where will the path lead

Wherever the road may go
I'll always know the destination
Whenever I may fall
I will never be alone
On the path my Savior's drawn

I've fallen before now
and I've lost count
the many digressions
and pleasurable obsessions
they're all empty
I was never happy

Wherever the road may go
I'll always know the destination
Whenever I may fall
I will never be alone
On the path my Savior's drawn

One Nation Under God

I can't believe
or even begin to fathom
the deepness of the situation
or the desperity of our people
and their need for an answer
something to make it right
to justify the pain
to offer a release

Terror may try to shake us
but we'll stand strong
as a nation together
one nation under God

When things go so wrong
on such a beautiful day
it's etched on your life
as when it all changed
things can never be the same
though the ones we love are gone
the nation we love stays strong
and in God we will trust

Terror may try to shake us
but we'll stand strong
as a nation together
one nation under God

God bless America
forever and ever
God bless America
forever and ever, amen...

Never Apart

You're all I want
and need
You're all I think
and breathe
if only the world could see this joy
we'd all live eternally


when the sun sets on my day
get down on my knees and pray
thank the Father for my life
ask for guidance through my strife


I feel so peaceful with my Lord
I know how truthful is His Word
I want to serve with all my heart
I never want to be apart

You're all I want
and need
You're all I think
and breathe
if only the world could see this joy
we'd all live eternally


when I feel I can't go on
call upon the living Son
help me through the toughest days
I can't wait to sing His praise


I feel so peaceful with my Lord
I know how truthful is His Word
I want to serve with all my heart
I never want to be apart

You're all I want
and need
You're all I think
and breathe
if only the world could see this joy
we'd all live eternally

The Wages of Sin

When last I saw the sun
the world was black with death
It was a horrid sight
I felt I should have cried
How many can I save?
What diff'rence could I make?
Everything seems hopeless

The wages of sin is death
but the world seems to ignore
that- while they dig their own graves
They are the ones we must save

Something seems amiss here
The world has become blind
Evil controls the show...
Controls their very souls
They must be given sight
We've got to make things right
before they seal their doom

The Dark Prison

confusion's grasp
where will I go
lost in the show
the dark prison...


I walk the misty morn
on the wide traveled road
think I control my fate
but really I'm just blind

I don't know where I was
I wandered life in doubt
until I found a friend
He showed me the way out


I'm saved
from my certain end
I'm saved
from the dark prison
I'm saved
by my trusted friend
I'm saved
by the Son of Man

The Apostles

There once was a man
He didn't fall and sin
We followed His footsteps
He showed us how to stand

Now we spread His words
Save as many as we can
For this is our purpose
We are the fishers of men


Some said He was the Baptist
but we knew the truth
Some said He was Elijah
but there wasn't proof
Some said He was a prophet
but that wasn't right
Only we know the truth
that He was the Christ


He always spoke of a time
when He would go away
but we never thought
that it would be that day

We stood and we watched as they nailed Him to the cross
and three days later we rejoiced when he came back to us


Some said He was the Baptist
but we knew the truth
Some said He was Elijah
but there wasn't proof
Some said He was a prophet
but that wasn't right
Only we know the truth
that He was the Christ

Stand

I may be caught, but I'll never look away
I may be hurt, but I will always pray
I may fall down, but I'll always get back up
I may be weak, but I'll always be tough

The world may fall apart
but I'll never lose my heart
The Devil may control the world
but he won't control my soul

I might lose all, but I will be satisfied
I might be scorned, but I will never lie
It might be hard, but I'll never be shy
and I might cry, but I'll never die

The Lord will come and win
The Lord will come again

All I'll Ever Need

fleeting glimpse... an eternity before it's done

You're there to give me life

open arms... never broken, never gone

You give me love

deep inside... warmth like no other ever known

You're there to give me comfort

no question... I know that You're the One

You're all I'll ever need

 

 

hope is all I've had to go on

when faith wants to wander to the world

love is all I've ever wanted

but now I won't need any more

 

 

all fall down... when the pressure seems too much

You're there to give me hope

feeling lost... reach out for something to touch

You give me direction

deep inside... there's a warmth like no other

You're there to give me joy

no question... I know that You're my Savior

You're all I'll ever need

 

 

no doubt now

You're the only one for me

no doubt now

You're all I'll ever need

Call to Arms

The thorns rise and pierce my skin and it all happens once again

the darkness rises in the night

We can not let it take control... these are our fates these are our souls

the time has come... let's live the fight

 

 

We feel the call to arms...

We know the time has come...

Onward! Marching into war...

Proclaim the cause we're fighting for...

 

We feel the call to fight...

We draw our swords of light...

Forward! Breaking through the walls...

We'll gain victory over all...

 

 

The dark forces fall one by one as we pray that they be gone

they can not stand up to God's might

He conquered hell... He holds the keys... All we must do is fall to our knees

the time has come... let's make things right

His Love

it's falling from the sky

greatest love from upon high

we can not stop the stream from flowing

it's growing all the time

through our hearts and through our minds

we can not fight the things we're feeling

 

His love is like no other

it can't be put asunder

it's greater than all of time

His love is like no other

it can't be put to measure

and it's there for all to find

 

please ask me how I've been

and never have to ask again

because I know the love of the Lord

don't try to bring me down

when you know it can't be done

because I know the joy of the Lord

 

this love unending

without beginning

it can't be denied

this love we're feeling

it gives us meaning

it can't be defied

No Need for Lust

there's no need for all this lust

I know it's not right so I must

stop looking in the wrong direction

and look to the Lord for affection

 

my eyes always brought me down

I was the biggest sinner to be found

no longer do I walk where that path leads

because God's given me all I need

 

no more letting my eyes wander

so it will not go on any longer

and I'll try not to do it again

because I know God has things planned

 

there's no need for lust

rejoice in the Lord

because He's given us all we really need

Straight to the Ground

nothing is good enough

when I'm not looking up

everything burns down

straight to the ground

 

nothing even compares

and I'm caught unawares

when truth strikes me down

straight to the ground

 

 

and I'm falling

falling deeper and deeper into You

and I'm needing

needing more and more of this love from You

for no reason

I turn and I try to do it all alone

but in the end

I'll end up falling again straight to the ground

 

 

nothing will suffice

without knowing sacrifice

everything falls down

straight to the ground

 

nothing is defined

and I'm caught in a bind

when God strikes me down

straight to the ground

 

 

life may be a picnic

but nothing happens by chance

picnics only come complete with ants

life may be a party

but what will happen can't be guessed

parties will almost always bring regrets

Potter's Field

It could not be put in the Temple funds

Their laws forbade that this be done

They found another use for the money

Unknowingly fulfilling the prophecy

 

A field to bury strangers who were dead

Bought using the money set on His head

The foreigners' cemetary would henceforth wield

the accursed name... of Potter's Field

Remembrance

I remember those days we used to play

Now things have changed they're not the same

We've grown apart inside our hearts

I followed God you cursed His name

 

 

We met again before the end

We had some fun we talked all day

You opened up to me; you were free

We cried all night you walked away

 

 

My life, my friend

Why did our times have to end?

I hope, I pray

That one day I'll see you again

Your laugh, your face

I hope I made a difference

Then the day I'm away

I'll see you up in heaven

 

 

A week had passed before the crash

I tried to cry I had no tears

Then that night, I prayed to God

And I looked back on all those years

Emancipate the Soul

Just take it... Take it all away

More than I can say

This weight needs to be lifted from me

I'm stained and filthy

Worthless and doomed to die

Come and clean my soul... Set me free!

 

I'm reborn... A child of the Lord

His love opened the door

And pushed me through into the light

I'm clean and free

Given an everlasting life

No longer will I dwell within the night!

Turnaround Believer

Avoid a void once again

By keeping with the plan

And you can reach

Further than ever before

Through the breach

Where God has much in store

 

Forward for Ward of Light

Finally step from the night

Just release the past

And begin a life anew

With happiness at last

Known only to the chosen few
