"Lead Me To The Cross"

"Lead Me To The Cross"



Savior I come
Quiet my soul
Remember redemption's hill
Where your blood was spilled
For my ransom

Everything I once held dear
I count it all as lost

Lead me to the cross,
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord, I lay me down
Rid me of myself, I belong to you
Oh lead me, lead me to the cross

You were as I, tempted and trialed
Human
You word became flesh
Bore my sin and death
Now you're risen

Everything I once held dear
I count it all as lost

Lead me to the cross,
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord, I lay me down
Rid me of myself, I belong to you
Oh lead me, lead me to the cross

To your heart
To your heart
Lead me to your heart
To your heart

Lead me to the cross,
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord, I lay me down
Rid me of myself, I belong to you
Oh lead me, lead me to the cross

"Let It All Come Out"

"Let It All Come Out"


Who, who's touched you child? Now you can't feel a thing, not anything
Who's been the one telling you lies? Now you'll believe anything

OH YOU GOTTA LET, LET IT ALL COME OUT
LET, LET IT ALL COME OUT
RIGHT NOW
RIGHT NOW

How, how many fires, to make you feel pure again, alive again?
And what will it take, what has to break, for you to begin again?
What will it take?

[Repeat Chorus]

Lift yourself out of it all
Come out from the shadows to the sun
Oh you gotta lift yourself out of it all
Yesterday's over, a new day's begun
You're only sick as all your secrets
Let them all come out, let them come
This devil came to steal your name away
This devil came to give your name away

OH LET, LET IT ALL COME OUT
LET, LET IT ALL COME OUT
LET, LET IT ALL COME OUT
RIGHT NOW
RIGHT NOW

"Let It Go"

"Let It Go"



You are waiting on a beach
For a healing word to come
Maybe an apology in a bottle
Maybe a flare that says, "I'm sorry."
And the hurting leaves you numb

Will you forgive?
Will you forget?
Will you live what you know?
He left his rights
Will you leave yours?
You don't understand it
Let it go

You are waiting on a beach
This is where the east meets west
And as another sun sets on your anger
The darkness laughs, as the wound destroys
And it turns your prayers to noise

Will you forgive?
Will you forget?
Will you live what you know?
He left his rights
Will you leave yours?
You won't understand it
Let it go

This bitterness you hide
It seeps into your soul
And it steals your joy
'til it's all you know
Let it go

Will you forgive?
Will you forget?
Will you live what you know?
He left his rights
Will you leave yours?
You won't understand it
Let it go

Will you forgive?
Will you forget?
Will you live what you know?
Beneath the cross
You hear His words,
"Father, forgive them,"
And you know
You can't understand it
Let it go

"Let It Rain"

"Let It Rain"


Fisher of men remembers...

And I have watched in wonder
As with a word You calmed a raging sea
I have seen You make the wine from water
Mud and water made a blind man see
Water still reminds me
Of the seaside where our eyes first met

[Chorus]
Let it rain
Lord we're waiting for Your rain to fall
Let it rain
Bringing back the wonder of it all
And I can see Your face again
When You let it rain

And I've been bathed in mercy
By every gesture, every word You've said
Once I spoke of power and high position
You toke a towel and washed my feed instead
Water, like a promise
Heaven opens, but I'm not there yet

[Chorus]

I've been foolish
Thought I know it all
Three times I denied Your name
Your forgiveness, like a waterfall
Washes away my shame

A new dawn is breaking
Another our, and the I leave this place
I am ready, Lord, to give my life up
I'm so ready, Lord, to see Your face
Water, like a promise
And in this final hour, I think my final prayer shall be
Would You let it rain?
Let Your Spirit fall afresh on me

[Chorus]

"Lighthouse"

"Lighthouse"


Well I was walkin' down the street
Just theother day
Mindin' my own business I say
I saw a bloke standin' on the side of the
Street and waving his bible and being
Everything but discreet

[Refrain]
You know what's right from wrong don't
Say, no way
Don't wait till things go wrong seek
Him today

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

Love and joy and peace and hope
Is what He offers us

You know I'm not usually one to stop
And talk to people like this - you know
But something inside of me was building
Up and needin' to find out what he'd say
He said

[Refrain]

[Chorus]

Well that was several months ago
Now my life has changed because
Someone cared to say...
He stands at the door of your
Heart and knocks
Open up the door
And keep it locked today, today

"Lights Out"

"Lights Out"


Last one turns the lights out, and makes sure every curtain's drawn
Nails the shutters shut, he's sure
We are not of this world for long
Who do you think you are?
Did you figure out the date?
What do you hope to do
While you sit around and wait, wait, wait?
Last one turns the lights out, and disconnects the answer-phone
Stuffs all sense of mission, says
"I just can't turn the tide alone"
Who do you think you are?
Did you figure out the time?
What do you hope to do
While you hide out and whine, whine, whine...

[Chorus]
DON'T GO SHUTTIN' DOWN
'TIL THE TRUMPET SOUNDS
AND THE BATTLE IS WON
DON'T GO PUNCHIN' OUT
'TIL THE FINAL SHOUT
AND THE FATHER SAYS, "WELL DONE"

Last one turns the light out, and just keeps playing dumb
These were his instructions, he's not sure where he got 'em from
Why do you wanna hide in a separate class?
Why do you buy the lie
Of a faith under glass, glass, glass...

[Chorus]

Last one turns the lights out, and climbs up to the top of the roof
He's sitting there 'til the Second Coming
Says he's got the mathematical proof
Who do you think you are?
Did you figure out the date?
What do you hope to do
While you sit around and wait, wait, wait...

[Chorus]

"Listen For The Shout"

"Listen For The Shout"


Can you feel His power flowin' through your heart - yeah
Have you ever wondered if you are apart
Signs and times are changin' the world is rearranging
Mankind is actin' playing with the flesh

[Chorus:]
Listen for the shout, He's comin' back again
Listen for the shout, He's comin' back again
Listen for the shout, He's comin' back again
Listen for the shout, He's comin' back again

Raise your eyes and look around
And pick yourself up off the ground
You can make it and you can win
You have the power through Him
Be delighted in the Lord
And He will give you your hearts desire
For when He spoke the world began
It appeared at His command

[Repeat Chorus]

Our sins have gone as far away
As what the east is from the west
The wealth and riches of the land
Would not even fill His hand
So raise your voice and praise His name
Your life will never be the same
I thank the Lord I'm born again
And soon I'll see Him come again

[Repeat Chorus]

"Live In Stereo"

"Live In Stereo"



This field guide's got no soul
Digging for the sacred
In a man-made hole

The soil gets harder
The shovel won't behave
I just dug myself
Into a six foot grave

I need a new dimension
Got to Supersize
A Jacobean ladder
To a parallel prize

The walks by faith
The sight lines lie
How am I gonna tag along
With one tin ear
And one glass eye?
Well I...

I can't get there from here
When every sense is in mono
Walk by faith, you appear
I wanna live in stereo

I can't get there from here
Without a God-directed go
Walk by faith, you appear
I've gotta live in stereo

I quit, I fold, I'm done
Trying to scale Everest
Sherpa-less
Ain't fun

The best-laid plans
Are in my other pants
The base camp's buried
In an avalanche

I need a new dimension
Got to Supersize
A Jacobean ladder
To a parallel prize

The walk's by faith
The lone wolf dies
How am I gonna follow you
With blue man ears
And snow blind eyes?

"Live With Abandon"

"Live With Abandon"


Chasing after this world makes me tired
Praisin’ my own name leaves me dry

There’s gotta be so much more to life than this
A higher calling that I missed
I want my life to count, every breath

[Chorus 2x:]
I wanna live with abandon
Give You all that I am
Every part of my heart, Jesus
I place in Your hands
I wanna live with abandon

I’ll drop everything to follow You
It’s only Your hands I hold onto

There’s gotta be so much more to life than this
A higher calling that I missed
I want my life to count, every breath

[Chorus 2x]

[2x]
I’m not looking back
I’m done with that
Wanna give You all I have

[Chorus 2x]

"Lord (I Don't Know)"

"Lord (I Don't Know)"



You are the author of knowledge
You can redeem what's been done
You hold the present and all that's to come
Until your everlasting kingdom

Lord, I don't know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
Lead me to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt

You are the God of tomorrow
Turning the darkness to dawn
Lifting the hopeless with hope to go on
You are the rock of all salvation

Lord, I don't know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
Lead me to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt

Oh, Lord, you are the author
Redeeming what's been done
You hold us in the present
And all that is to come

Lord, we don't know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
Lead us to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt
