"Last Daze"

"Last Daze"


Somewhere in the darkest night a stranger
has lost the way
Cold wind and a distant light has carried his heart away
Some say he was one of us, a prodigal gone astray
But inside he's as cold as ice to the truth that
he won't obey
He won't discern- the point of no return

[CHORUS]
In the last daze- the final haze
There was strong delusion to believe a lie
In the last daze before the blaze
They couldn't see beyond their misty trance
To grab the truth and have fighting chance
In the last daze

Cold chills when the Spirit speaks that some shall
depart from the faith
All ends in calamity just when they thought it was safe
They followed the lies- the fables men devised

[CHORUS]

Some say it's a certainty, a sign of the times I am told
But I weep for the souls of those who will never return
to the fold

[CHORUS]

"Let Everything That Hath Breath"

"Let Everything That Hath Breath"



Let everything that has breath praise the Lord
Let every creature under God's sun praise the Lord
Let all the mountains, let all the valleys
Let all the hillsides sing of His glory
Let everything that has breath praise the Lord

Israel had a war to fight but the Lord showed them the secret
He said the battle this day is mine, but you must listen how to do it
Put your singers first in front of the rest
Let them praise and sing to me
And you will see the salvation of your God
And watch your enemies flee

Paul and Silas were thrown in jail
For preaching the gospel of Christ
Though in chains they praised His name singing songs in the night
Just then an earthquake shook the place and the chains and the doors were loosened
Then the jailer ran in scared to death and that day he found salvation

"Let Our Voices Rise Like Incense"

"Let Our Voices Rise Like Incense"



Let our voices rise like incense
Let them be as sweet perfume
Let our praises fill the temple
Hallelujah's ringing ever new

Holy, Holy
Is the Lord Almighty
Holy, Holy
Is the Lord our God

Let our voices rise like incense
Let them be as sweet perfume
Let our praises fill the temple
Hallelujah's ringing ever new

Holy, Holy
Is the Lord Almighty
Holy, Holy
Is the Lord our God

Holy, Holy
Is the Lord our God

"Life As We Know It"

"Life As We Know It"


First He calls out
Into your darkness
He woos you gently
And you have to choose
But the choice is easy
It's light and darkness
There's an invitation
You can not refuse

Revelation - when you see where you've been
Confirmation - you've been born again

[Chorus]
This is life as we know it
Forgiven and free
Life as we know it
More abundantly
Born of the Son, we can finally see
This is life as we know it
Undeniably

One day doubting
You're walking blindly
Through shadow's darkness
You don't feel a thing
But you keep on walking
Though you sometimes stumble
Till you find assurance
Only faith can bring

Never perfect, but perfectly forgiven
Finding courage to get up again

[Chorus]

Bent, but not broken
Tempted, not shaken
Kept in the shadow of His wing
Held by the power
Sealed with the promise
By the One who is over everything

[Chorus]

"Lift Him Up"

"Lift Him Up"


[Based on John 12:32, 3:14, Luke 19:2-4]

The world is looking for a revelation
We're always under their investigation
They look at us to hear we got to say
They can't see Jesus when we stand in the way
They don't need no more elevated speeches
We're keeping Jesus just beyond their reaches
Can't see the forest for all of the trees
They won't see Jesus till we fall on our knees

Lift Him up higher and higher
Lift Him up set the world on fire
It doesn't take much theology
Just lift Him up so the world can see
Lift Him up tell the gospel story
Lift Him up left them see His glory
It doesn't take any Bible degree
Just lift Him up so the world can see

Sometimes they just can't see beyond the haze
Or find their way through the religious maze
Just like Zaccheus they're trying to see
They got to somehow see beyond you and me

Oh - how the world needs to see him
So they can believe Him
Oh - how can we ever hide Him
As if we had denied Him
Oh - How could He ever draw them
If they never saw Him
Oh - How can they see His glory
Without you and me

[Verse]
Lord, I lift Your name on high
Lord, I love to sing Your praises
I'm so glad You're in my life
I'm so glad You came to save us

[Chorus]
You came from heaven to earth
To show the way
From the earth to the cross
My debt to pay
From the cross to the grave
From the grave to the sky
Lord, I lift Your name on high

"Love"

"Love"


Love is patient, love is kind
No eyes of envy, true love is blind
Love is humble, it knows no pride
No selfish motive hidden inside
Love is gentle, makes no demands
Despite all wrong, true love still stands
Love is holy, love is pure
It lasts forever, it will endure

[CHORUS]
Love knows when to let go
Love knows when to say no
Love grows in the light of the Son
And love shows the world that the Son of
Love has come

Love is loyal, believes the best
It loves the truth, love stands the test
Love is God sent in his Son
Love forgives all we have done

[CHORUS]

In this world where hatred seems to grow
True love goes against the flow
And becomes so hard to show

In this world where push turns to shove
We have strength to rise above
Through the power of His love
Lord, we need to know the power of Your love

[CHORUS]

"Lovely Lord"

"Lovely Lord"


You are filled with compassion and mercy and grace
With Your banner of love over me
I am longing to see You one day face to face
And to be with You endlessly
Lord, how lovely You are to me

[Chorus]
Lovely Lord
You are all to me
Lovely Lord
Full of purity
Worthy of honor and majesty
Lord, how lovely You are to me

You are bright as the sunrise and fairest of all
Unto You all the glory will be
You are God of creation and Lord of my life
I will worship You faithfully
Lord, how lovely You are to me

[Repeat Chorus]

We will worship the name of the Holiest One
We will worship Your excellency
We will give You the glory
For things You have done
And be thankfully eternally
Lord, how lovely You are to me

[Repeat Chorus]

Lord, how lovely You are to me

"Lucas McGraw"



Lucas McGraw, what's come over you?
We're beginnin' to think you're touched
We heard you got religion
Ya ain't been 'round to see us much
Ya threw away your corncob pipe and your jug of moonshine brew
And we hear you ain't been doin' all those things you used to do

Lucas McGraw what's come over you?
You're shavin' every day
You ain't been chasin' women and you kissed your wife today
You went to church last Sunday and ya shook the preacher's hand
And they you been talkin' 'bout a home beyond this land

Lucas McGraw, what's come over you?
You never cuss no more
We hear you ain't been feudin', you hung your rifle by the door
Ya take a bath each Sunday, if you need it or not
And ya go to work on Monday even when it's hot

Lucas McGraw what's come over you?
We're beginnin' to think you're touched
We hear ya got religion, ya ain't been 'round to see us much
But ya know we've all been wonderin'
If what you got just might be real
And all the while we're laughin'
Is it really God, is it really God
Is it really God you feel?

"Magic Mirror"

"Magic Mirror"


[Chorus:]
Magic mirror don't let me walk away without seeing who I am
Magic mirror don't let me see who I am and only walk away

I must have walked by you a thousand times before
I never noticed you were hanging on my door
But then you caught my eye and let me see myself
My legs were running with my shoes nailed to the shelf

When I saw you hanging there I had to stop and stare
'Cause every time I see a little more of me

Sometimes I don't know who's been looking back at me
If I'd look closer I know I would always see
Won't you reflect your light on me and I'll reflect on you
Let me really see just how I look to you

[Bridge:]
When I act too tall, you bring me down to size
And when I feel too small you show me all the lies I try to tell myself
How can I thank you for all you've done for me?

And now I'm watching and I see me grow in you
I know that I've got so much growing left to do
Please keep me in your light from morning until night
Until I finally come into the image of the Son
