"We Believe"

"We Believe"


In this time of desperation
When all we know is doubt and fear
There is only one foundation
We believe, we believe
In this broken generation
When all is dark, You help us see
There is only one salvation
We believe, we believe

We believe in God the Father
We believe in Jesus Christ
We believe in the Holy Spirit
And He's given us new life
We believe in the crucifixion
We believe that He conquered death
We believe in the resurrection
And He's comin' back again, we believe

So, let our faith be more than anthems
Greater than the songs we sing
And in our weakness and temptations
We believe, we believe!

We believe in God the Father!
We believe in Jesus Christ!
We believe in the Holy Spirit!
And He's given us new life!
We believe in the crucifixion!
We believe that He conquered death!
We believe in the resurrection!
And He's comin' back again!

Let the lost be found and the dead be raised!
In the here and now, let love invade!
Let the church live loud our God we'll say
We believe, we believe!
And the gates of hell will not prevail!
For the power of God, has torn the veil!
Now we know Your love will never fail!
We believe, we believe!

We believe in God the Father
We believe in Jesus Christ
We believe in the Holy Spirit
And He's given us new life!
We believe in the crucifixion!
We believe that He conquered death!
We believe in the resurrection!
And He's comin' back,
He's comin' back again!
He's comin' back again!
We believe!
We believe

"We Come Together"

"We Come Together"


Waiting.
We're waiting for apologies,
and we're waiting.
We're both expecting sympathies.

Another hour is gone.
We sulk and carry on
so stubborn-hearted.

Waiting.
We're marking secret borders now,
and we're waiting.
We're in our separate corners now.
We wait for night to fall.
We can't even recall
what got this started.

[Chorus]
Now is the time and here is the place,
'cause we lose these hours
and casting blame
when we should be saying grace.
We can find a better way.
We can stand on common ground.
We can work this out
between us before the sun goes down.

We come together.

Waiting.
We don't know what
we're trying to prove,
but we're waiting.
Until the other makes a move
we stick to our facades.
We only speak in nods and sullen glances.
Waiting. Our shadows just get longer now.
We need to start again before this day
has stolen all our chances.

[Chorus]

"We Remember"

"We Remember"



How could we forget
When You touched the earth on that starry night
Angels sang glory to God on high
We remember

How could we forget
The moment the water became wine
Stories of men leaving all behind
We remember

The story burns upon our hearts
A beautiful and binding scar
Forever we will
Forever we will think of You

We remember
We remember You, Oh Lord
We remember
We remember You, Oh Lord

How could we forget
There in the garden You cried for it
The city that cursed You and turned You in
We remember

How could we forget
Death has no power and we are free
The good thought of us there on calvary
We remember

The story burns upon our hearts
A beautiful and binding scar
Forever we will, forever we will think of You
Oh think of You

We remember
We remember You, Oh Lord
We remember
We remember You, Oh Lord

Oh, the the things that You have done
And great things You've yet to do
Oh, Jesus, we remember You

How could we forget
The moment Your love rolled the stone away
Our hearts were opened our lives were changed
We remember

How we could forget
The promise of hope and that trumpet sound
We'll see Your glory roll back the clouds
We remember

We remember You, O Lord
We remember You our King
We remember You the son of God
Who came to set us free

How could we forget
When You touched the earth on that starry night
Angels sang glory to God on high?

"What A Friend We Have In Jesus"

"What A Friend We Have In Jesus"


What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.

[?]

Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.

[?]

What a friend we have in Jesus

"What I Want Them To Say"

"What I Want Them To Say"



What’s a man to do
When every dream he’s chased comes true
All the trophies on a wall
Are gonna lose their shine and fall
What’s a stage played on
If we don’t give You every song
All the cheers and the applause
In the arena they’ll be lost
What will they think about the things I did
What will they say about the life I’ve lived
I want them to say…
He’s the one whose faith didn’t fade
When everything crashed, he didn’t cave
He never lost his awe and wonder
The one that kept me from going under
And he ran a good race
That’s what I want, what I want, I want them to say
What if they all know my name
But never see beyond my face
A pointless legacy
There so much more inside of me
He fights for the weak
Has arms that reach out for Jesus
Every word that he speaks
Helps me to believe there’s a God that loves us
Oh Lord, I want YOU to say…

"When The Boys Light Up"

"When The Boys Light Up"



When the boys light up, light up
When the boys light up, light up
When the boys light up, light up

Back and forth like a daytime drama
Up and down like a yo-yo mama
Say there's gonna be days like this
'Cause light and dark don't coexist

How you gonna see through this fog?
How you gonna get back on course?
You ain't never gonna feel the force
If you don't connect to a power source

'Cause you been swapping out day for night
But you see a lamp light burning bright
If you get your flip-flops off the porch
We're passing you the torch

When the boys light up, you know
Who gets the praise who owns the show
When the boys light up, it's on
We ain't stopping till we're done

We ain't nothing but the conduits
He's got the power, He'll flip the switch
Leaving the dark behind
Light up and let it shine

When the boys light up, light up
When the boys light up, light up

I was feeling all overcome
Had a faith gone dim and then some
Gotta call from a band of brothers
Turn the mic on, flash the Nikons

All the doubters, I heard 'em say
Now the band's gonna fade away
But the boys are back for a second act
No excuses, we're lighting fuses

You're in the dawn of your finest hour
So get wired to the highest power
If you're down pick any sight
Get ready to ignite

When the boys light up, you know
Who gets the praise who owns the show
When the boys light up, it's on
We ain't stopping till we're done

If we ain't nothing but the conduits
He's got the power, He'll flip the switch
Leaving the dark behind
Light up and let it shine

When we walk in His footsteps
It's a brighter day
When we follow His word
He lights the way
When we lift up His banner and raise it high
We light up the sky

When the boys light up, light up
When the boys light up, light up

When the boys light up, you know
Who gets the praise who owns the show
When the boys light up, it's on
We ain't stopping 'till we're done

We ain't nothing but the conduits
He's got the power, He'll flip the switch
Leaving the dark behind

When the boys light up, you know
Who gets the praise who owns the show
When the boys light up, it's on
We ain't stopping 'till we're done

We ain't nothing but the conduits
He's got the power, He'll flip the switch
Leaving the dark behind
Light up and let it shine

"When The Tears Fall"

"When The Tears Fall"



I've had questions, without answers
I've known sorrow, I have known pain
But there's one thing, that I'll cling to
You are faithful, Jesus You're true

When hope is lost, I'll call You saviour
When pain surrounds, I'll call You healer
When silence falls, You'll be the song within my heart

In the lone hour of my sorrow
Through the darkest night of my soul
You surround me and sustain me
My defender, forevermore

When hope is lost, I'll call You saviour
When pain surrounds, I'll call You healer
When silence falls, You'll be the song within my heart

And I will praise You, I will praise You
When the tears fall, still I will sing to You
And I will praise You, Jesus praise You
Through the suffering still I will sing

When hope is lost, I'll call You saviour
When pain surrounds, I'll call You healer
When silence falls, You'll be the song within my heart

Oh yes, You are good to me
You've always been good to me
So trustworthy

When hope is lost, I'll call You saviour
When pain surrounds, I'll call You healer
When silence falls, You'll be the song within my heart

And I will praise You, and I will praise You
When the tears fall, still I will sing to You (I will sing to You)
I will praise You, Jesus praise You
Through the suffering still I will sing

How faithful and true
Sustain me through and through
You are hope and truth
You must bring a little water
You must bring a little water

In the lone hour of my sorrow

Who springs never fail
Be faithful and true
Like...
Like a spring it never fails
You're my spring never fails

"When You Called My Name"

"When You Called My Name"


I want to preach the Word
They want massages
I check chapter and verse
They check their watches
I spy another yawn
I might as well be gone
Let's stand and say "Amen"
Some days I must admit
I still don't get this
Could be it's time to quit
When days get like this
I slip into the night
Then stumble towards the light
Wake up and try again

[Chorus]
When You called my name
I didn't know how far the calling went
When You called my name
I didn't know what that word really meant
When I recall Your call
I feel
So small

Could be I'm losing touch
Could be they don't care
Lord knows I don't know much
Lord knows I've been there
I trip toward my retreat
I fall down at Your feet
Get up and try again

[Chorus]
When You called my name
I didn't know how far the calling went
When You called my name
I didn't know what that word really meant
When I recall Your call
I feel
So small
Lord, what did you see
When you called out for me?

I start losing heart
And then
It comes again
Lifted from despair
By the prayers of someone
Lifted form despair
By the prayers of someone

[Chorus]

"Where You Belong / Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus"

"Where You Belong / Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus"


When you're dull from all that glitters,
when you're thoughts have a hollow ring,
when you can't escape from the fact you
are getting it wrong...

All your foolproof plans seem foolish,
all your status is status quo,
all your really need to know
is where you belong.

[Chorus]
Turn your eyes upon Jesus.
Look full in his wonderful face.
And the things of earth will grow
strangely dim in the light
of his glory and grace.

I was used to the cold for so long
that I couldn't feel anything.
And I shivered and stared like a beggar
who won't lift his hands.
I was numb until he touched me.
I was deaf until he heard.
I was senseless 'til I met the one
who understands.

[Chorus]

"Wherever We Go"

"Wherever We Go"


Wherever we go, bluebirds sing
And the flowers bloom
And the grass gets green
It's a curious thing
But it's just our thing
Wherever we go, the bees behave
In the treetops, squirrels smile and wave
It's a curious thing
And it's humbling
Where we go, little glow-worms glow
Little roadrunners run ahead
Gonna tell their friends
Little mice, little men
Get 'em all excited
All invited

[CHORUS]
Hands up,
Holler back here,
Let's throw this party in gear,
We brought the welcome mat,
Wherever we go, that's where the party's at.
Hands up,
Holler back now
We don't claim any know how,
We're given God all that,
Wherever we go, that's where the party's at.

Wherever we go, the dumb get wise
And the crime rates drop
And the markets rise
It's a curious thing
But it's just our thing
Bullies make nice, crooks repent
And the ozone layer shows improvement
It's a curious thing
And it's humbling
Wherever we're led
All the Living Dead
Wanna leave their Zombie Mob
It's a touching scene when they all come clean
God help us, we just love our job

[CHORUS]

(Throw your hands up high)
(High, throw your hands up,)
(Throw your hands up, high.)
(High, throw your hands up,)
(Throw your hands up, high.)

This is the message we spread,
Bringin' life to the dead.
This is the Gospel expo,
Follows wherever we go.
This is the message we spread,
Bringin' life to the dead.
This is the Good News expo,
Follows wherever we go.

[CHORUS until end]
