"Real Good Thing"

"Real Good Thing"


[Chorus]
When we don't get what we deserve that's a real good thing
When we get what we don't deserve
That's a real good thing

Born to sin
And then get caught
All our good deeds
Don't mean squat

Sell the Volvo
Shred the Visa
Send the cash to Ma Theresa
Great idea
The only catch is
You don't get saved
On merit badges

[Chorus]

Doctor's coming
Looking grim
"Do you have a favorite hymn?"

Check your balance through the years
All accounts are in arrears
Guilt is bitter
Grace is sweet
Park it here
On the mercy seat

[Chorus]

"Reality"

"Reality"


Mom & Dad,

I'm fine. How are you? I have joined a
Small circus (that much is true). I'm a
Little malnourished, but try to relax.
Could you find a better photo for the milk
Carton backs?

Send money.

Runaway
Where's your head?
Dreamers' dreams
Are grounded

[Chorus]
In reality
That comes from above
God is calling
There's no bigger love
It's his reality that welcomes us back
Trust and obey
There is no other way

Mom & Dad,

I'm fair. How's life? Lent the money you
Sent me to the clown with the knife. My
Career as an acrobat hasn't begun, but
I'm busy giving blood and shoveling
Elephant dung.

Send money.

Runaway
Why so tense?
Dreamers' dreams
Will make sense

[Chorus]

Runaway
Blowing smoke
Your folks are worried
(and going broke)

After the fall
Is an all-new episode
Reality
Is the high road

[Chorus]

"Rescue"

"Rescue"



Old as the hills, new everyday
It's in the bones like it's DNA
First taste is sweet 'til it rots in your mouth
Another old friend who rats you out
All of the time in this life
Can't loose the ties that bind
They shackle our feet, we trip, we fall
We crawl
I was born in the mess of it all

Then You rescued me, rescued me
Lord, with a touch of Your hand
Another captive free again
Who else in heaven could do this but You?
You rescued me, rescued me
Lord, with a love out of mind
Oh, You know I love it when
Everyday I am rescued again

Over the years your nature's way
Is turning wrongs into roles you play
Caught in a spell that's overcast
You gain perspective, it doesn't last
All of the time in this life
Can't loose the ties that blind you
They're new everyday, old as the fall
The fall
And I was born in the mess of it all

Every day, every way, every
Every cheap imitation
All of my imagination
Even my self-preservation
Is yours in time

"Restart"

"Restart"


I was finished, game over
Couldn't carry the weight on my shoulders
At my end, in trouble
Knocked down on the ground seein' double

But then Your love, love opened my eyes
Lifted me up, up, now I'm alive
I raise my hands, hands to the sky
Singing “Oh oh oh oh oh oh” “Oh oh oh oh oh”

Oh Lord, I'm a different man
You gave me a second chance
I was lost, I was fallin' apart
But You came along, and You hit the restart

You, You, You hit the restart
You, You, You hit the restart
You, You, You hit the restart
You came along, and You hit the restart

I was twisted, like bad religion
Fully committed to my way of livin'
I heard the preacher, but never listened
On a dead end road without a mission

[Chorus]

Restart, Restart, Oh Oh Oh
Restart, Restart, Oh Oh Oh
I was lost, I was fallin' apart
But You came along, and You hit the restart

[Bridge:]
You make all things new
That's just what You do
You're making me new

"Revelation Song"

"Revelation Song"



Worthy is the, Lamb who was slain
Holy holy is He
Sing a new song, to Him who sits on
Heaven's mercy seat

Holy holy holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of kings
You are my everything, and I will adore You

Clothed in rainbows of living color
Flashes of lightning
Rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor
Strength and glory
And power be to You
The only wise King

Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder
At the mention of Your name
Jesus Your name is power, breath and living water
Such a marvelous mystery

"RSL 1984"

"RSL 1984"



Some kissed the girls, I kissed the floor
The Bover boys with their boots shiny red
Three dollar champagne stirring my head
We rolled out the barrels, boys
We sang with a single voice

Let all tears turn to gold
And all the hell I've raised
Lord, let it fade away
As Your glories unfold
Give me a part to play
Grant me another day

The surf and the sky and the Sunshine Coast of gold
Floating on a long board, life on hold
I never know the way, but you always take me there
And I need it now, like the Mooloolaba air
We'll roll with the next wave, boys
We'll sing out, we'll make some noise

Let all tears turn to gold
And all the hell I've raised
Lord, let it fade away
As Your glories unfold
Give me a part to play
Grant me another day

Red dust rises
Clouds your every thought
You don't know you're deceived until you're not
Good dog, bad dog - they get to fightin' in your head
The winner is the last one gettin' fed

God is alive and my magic is no good
And He's called me out on this walkabout
He leads me to water and traces each song line
And I know to know His ways are higher than mine
So roll out the road rig, boys
We'll sing with a grateful voice

Let all tears turn to gold
And the hell that's raised
Lord, let it fade away
As Your glories unfold
Give us a part to play
Grant us another day

Let all tears turn to gold
And all the hell I've raised
Lord, let it fade away
As Your glories unfold
Give me a part to play
Grant me another day

"Running To You"

"Running To You"



Somebody told me about a place, oh, I can see it
But I've got to change my ways
Day after day it's the same old thing I keep repeating
The reason I stay this way

I know what I have to do
Get back to what I know is true

When everything is broken there's a door wide open
You'll find me running through
More than just emotion, my broken heart has chosen
Jesus, I'm running to You, I'm running to You

I'm running, running to You
I'm running, running to You

I can see the tear on your face, you feel defeated
Wondering what are you living for
Selfish dreams left you time and time, empty-handed
There's got to be something more

You know what you have to do
Get back to who you know is true

When everything is broken there's a door wide open
You'll find me running through
More than just emotion, my broken heart has chosen
Jesus, I'm running to You, I'm running to You

You're the only one
Who can fix what I've become
Oh God, I believe in Your love

When everything is broken there's a door wide open
You'll find me running to You
More than just emotion, my broken heart has chosen
Jesus, I'm running to You, I'm running to You
I'm running to You, I'm running to You

I'm running, running to You
I'm running, running to You
I'm running to You

"Save Your Life"

"Save Your Life"



Dear Friend,
You've been trying again
Doing whatever it takes to fit in
Falling for the lies of the world
You tell me you'd pay anything just to not hurt
What you want, I ain't got
What I have, can't be bought

There's something better I can give
If you surrender you will live
Just gotta taste and see it's good
I'd make you see it if I could
It's gonna save your life, gonna save your life

Dear Friend,
I'd be lying to you
If I told you this road that we travel would be smooth
Sometimes, you just wanna give up
Trying, and trying, but nothing is ever enough
Chasing things, but what for? (what for?)
You've seen it all, but want more

There's something better I can give
If you surrender you will live
Just gotta taste and see it's good
I'd make you see it if I could
It's gonna save your life, gonna save your life

I can see now you want this
And you know that you need this
Get away from the darkness
Get away from the darkness

I can see now you want this
And you know that you need this
Get away from the darkness
Gotta know who Christ is

There's something better I can give
If you surrender you will live
Just gotta taste and see it's good
I'd make you see it if I could
It's gonna save your life, gonna save your life

(Nothing better than this life) It's gonna save your life
(Nothing better than this life) It's gonna save your life
It's gonna, it's gonna save your life

"Saviour Of The World"

"Saviour Of The World"



God so loved, that He gave His son
To lay down His life for the sake of us
He bore the weight of our sin and shame
With a cry He said, It is finished

Christ the Lord overcame the darkness
He’s alive: death has been defeated

For He made us a way
by which we have been saved
He’s the Savior of the world
So we lift up a shout for his fame and renown
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
Jesus, Savior of the world

We must spread the word of His soon return
To reclaim the world for His glory
Let the church now sing of this coming King
Crowned with majesty, our Redeemer

And He reigns, ruler of the heavens
And His name is Jesus, the Messiah

Christ the Lord overcame the darkness
He’s alive: death has been defeated
And He reigns, ruler of the heavens
And His name is Jesus, the Messiah

"Say You Need Love"

"Say You Need Love"



You've been looking for shelter
On a cloudless day, there's no rain
You're keeping pennies in your pocket
For a bottle full of spare change, just in case
And if the glass ain't half empty then it's broken
It helps you escape from the pain
You throw the baby with the bath water
Over and over again
Turn the page

You say you need love
Tell me where does that get you
When push comes to shove
Who you gonna run to
Turn your eyes above
He unconditionally loves you
Nothing you can say or do
Will change his love for you

Heard it said you're an accident, biological mistake
So you're a love child, who could say it better
A physical grace, a perfect display

Has someone you trusted left you betrayed
Has someone who loved you thrown love away
Do you see God? does he have a face?
Looks like your father's, how does it relate?
You're scared of being let down
Tell me

Don't be afraid
Don't shy away
He'll never leave you
He won't forsake
Don't be afraid
Don't shy away
He's not gonna leave you
