"Step Up To The Microphone"

"Step Up To The Microphone"



I say hello
To anyone who's listening
Put on a show
If that's what makes your ears prick
This microphone
Will take a word and make it bigger
Oh hello
So here goes

Steppin' right up to the microphone
I say hey man!
There's only one way!
One God one body one faith alone
If you don't know
Then ya need to be told!

Steppin' right up to the microphone
I say hey man!
There's only one way!
One God one body one faith alone
I said hey boy
It's a narrow road

I say hello
To anyone who's listening
The message ain't nothing new
I don't decide what's true
So when the stones get thrown
They either miss or
They turn to glory
Here's the story as far as I know

Steppin' right up to the microphone
I say hey man!
There's only one way!
One God one body one faith alone
If you don't know
Then ya need to be told!

Steppin' right up to the microphone
I say hey man!
There's only one way!
One God one body one faith alone
I said hey boy
It's a narrow road

Steppin' up
I don't step alone
The question is "how do we know
What we know"
The answer is so plain to me
So here I go
Tap the mic "test 1, 2, 3"

Steppin' right up to the microphone
I say hey man!
There's only one way!
One God one body one faith alone
If you don't know
Then ya need to be told!

Steppin' right up to the microphone
I say hey man!
There's only one way!
One God one body one faith alone
I said hey boy
It's a narrow road

Steppin' right up to the microphone
I say hey man!
There's only one way!
One God one body one faith alone
If you don't know
Then ya need to be told!

Steppin' right up to the microphone
I say hey man!
There's only one way!
One God one body one faith alone
I said hey boy
It's a narrow road

"Strong Love"

"Strong Love"


He swings to the left,
she leans to the right,
but that doesn't make a flight a given.
And some pitch their tents in the middle
of the fence, but it doesn't matter
where you're living.

His spirit's in me his spirit's in you,
so there's a common bond between us.
And the mission for me is a mission for
you - we have a common cause to link us.

[Chorus]
Strong love yeah, people.
Strong strong love between us.
Strong love yeah, people, and you know
it's true that it always must be there.

He worships while he grooves,
she prays and barely moves,
but they're both reflecting pure devotion.

And some go for broke like headless chicken-folk
(inspiring jokes about pultry-in-motion).

His spirit's in me, his spirit's in you,
so there's a common bond between us.
And the mission for me is a mission for you -
we have a common cause to link us.

[Chorus]

Now don't just agree and then wait on history -
this is not a duty-free abstraction.
Divisors get blurred and the message
gets heard by puttin' Jesus' words in action.

It's a master design it's a millionwatt sign.
You can see it shine like patent leather.
It's a way people see how heaven's
gonna be when we live in unity together.

[Chorus]
Strong love yeah, people.
Strong strong love between us.
Strong love love yeah, people,
And you know it feels like
it always will be there.

"Strong Tower"

"Strong Tower"


Strong and mighty
Strong to save us
Like a fortress
Never failing

Strong in battle
Strong in kindness
When we stray, Lord
You're strong to find us

When the winds come hard against us
You are steadfast, You are true
When the ground beneath us trembles
Your foundation never moves

[Chorus:]
Strong tower
High and glorious
Strong tower
Mighty in love
Our refuge
Our defender
Strong tower
Lord above

Strong to lead us
Through the shadows
Strong to carry
All our sorrows

When the enemy surrounds us
Closing in as darkness falls
Though his armies rage against us
They can never scale these walls

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
You are my shelter, my shield
You are the home I could never deserve
Here I will serve, ever under Your gaze
Here I will serve, ever singing Your praise

[Chorus (2x)]

Strong tower
Lord above
Strong tower
Lord above

"Stronger"

"Stronger"



Here is love that came for us
Humbled to a sinner’s cross
You broke my shame and sinfulness
You rose again victorious

Faithfulness none can deny
Through the storm and through the fire
There is truth that sets me free
Jesus Christ who lives in me

You are stronger, You are stronger
Sin is broken, You have saved me
It is written, Christ is risen
Jesus, You are Lord of all

No beginning and no end
You’re my hope and my defense
You came to seek and save the lost
You paid it all upon the cross

So let Your name be lifted higher
Be lifted higher, be lifted higher
So let Your name be lifted higher
Be lifted higher, be lifted higher
So let Your name be lifted higher
Be lifted higher, be lifted higher

"Take Me To Your Leader"

"Take Me To Your Leader"



Isabelle is a belly dancer
With a kleptomaniac's restraint
Tried stealing Helena's hand basket,
Made a fast getaway,
But McQueen she ain't
At the courtroom Joshua judges her
Ruthlessly on account of Ruth walking
Out on him

In the Big House Isabelle is a-telling all
To the chaplain who's become her friend

She says: I don't know why you care
I don't know what's out there
I don't know where or how
Just take me to your leader now
Take me to your leader now

Justin is adjustin' to the odor from
Theodore's Evergreen Incense
But aroma therapy don't make him any
Younger than Oliver's All Liver Supplements

His late mate Merrilee merrily said
Immortality can't be bought in a jar
This just in: Justin's had enough of cure-
Alls, gonna quiz the neighbor kid with the
Fish on his car

He says: I don't know why you care
I don't know what's out there
I don't know how it's done
Just take me to your leader, son

I see you've got the joy
I've seen you live it, boy
It's real, it's free, it's fun,
So take me to your leader , son

They don't know why we care
They don't know what's out there
They don't know how it's done
Let's Take 'Em To Our Leader's Son

They see we've got the joy
They see us live it, oi
It's real, it's free, it's fun,
Let's Take 'Em To Our Leader's Son

"Take My Hands (Praises)"

"Take My Hands (Praises)"



Take my hands, take my feet
Take the music to the street
Hear the prayers, feel the sound
A generation Kingdom bound

Great and glorious
Is my Savior
Praises on my tongue
From my heart
For our God who became flesh
For us all
Unto You
I will sing Your praises
Sing forever

Take my will, take my all
Wrap my life around Your call
Set apart to sing Your praise
To live the difference in these days

Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing
To sing aloud, sing aloud
Oh, for the glory of my God and King
Oh, for a thousand tongues to sing

Taste and see that the Lord is good
Taste and see He's so good for you
Taste and see that the Lord is good
Taste and see He's so good for you

For the light will bring to all
A harvest good and plenty
But for those who don't, don't believe it,
Their life will still, will still be empty

[Chorus]

Don't let yourself, yourself be taken
By the foolish words of men
They say that God is oh-so tasteless,
But they've never tasted Him

That the power of God
Has taken over my life.
And give your life to Him
And it will get ya...

"Ten Thousand Miles"

"Ten Thousand Miles"


For we have known how to be in need
And we have known what it is to have plenty
There are costs that we all must pay
For some is harder harder for them to stay

[Chorus]
I will live for you
I'll walk with you I'd even die for you
I will follow you ten thousand miles
Ten thousand more

For I have seen a vision of heaven
And we are here for just a short lived time
No time to chase the gold, the glory
There is a fire, fire in our hearts

[Chorus]

We have learned a valuable secret
To be content in every situation
We can do everything through Him
He gives us strength to, strength to

[Chorus]

"That Home"

"That Home"



There was a home in town
Where broken kids, the lost & found
Would come from miles around
Just to see, what love was all about
'Cause Momma had a way of makin' things okay

She'd cook us our favorite meal
Sit and listen to how we feel
Oh, how the pain was real
How many families what the devil steal?
Momma had a way of makin' things okay

In that home
We knew we were safe
To be young enough to dream
Find the faith to believe
And in that home
Love, it had no end
It's where we learned to forgive
In that home

Momma always had the music on
Sometimes loud, sometimes soft
When I asked her 'bout her favorite song
She opened the bible to the book of Psalms
She always found a way to talk about grace

In that home
We knew we were safe
To be young enough to dream
Find the faith to believe
And in that home
Love, it had no end
That's where we learned to forgive
In that home

And on that day I got the news
That Momma's stay here was almost through
I stayed all night by her side
Held her hand, looked in her eyes
And said, Momma

When you're home
I know you'll be safe
Strong enough to see
The faith that you believed
And in that home
Life will have no end
I know I'll see you again

In that home
