Great and marvelous are Your deeds
Oh, Lord God Almighty
Great and marvelous are Your deeds

"Speak To The Sky"

"Speak To The Sky"


[Based on Matthew 7:7-8, Psalms 86:7]

In a corner with no windows - no apparent way to go
No escape hatch, must be some catch
Must be something you don't know

Look down, look around, all your hopes are sinking deep into the ground
Look up through the night, SOS is gonna make it to the light when you

Speak the sky and wait for the answer
Someone will be there to take your call
Though you may be at the brink of disaster
Speak to the sky and you never will fall

When temptaion will surround you
Enemy is closing fast
Fight insistence with resistance
You can know that it won't last

Look out, look around, cryin' out but noone seems to hear a sound
Look into your heart, help is on the way before you even start to

"St. Augustine's Pears"

"St. Augustine's Pears"


[Based on Romans 7:19]

Late one night I heard a knock at the door
The boys were really painting the town
I was just another bored teenage boy
Kickin' up and actin' the clown... Yeah

One dare led to another dare
Then things were getting out of control
We hopped the fence and we stole the pears
And I threw away a part of my soul
Yes, I threw away a part of my soul (now it's)

[Chorus]
Haunting me how I stole those pears
'Cause I loved the wrong
Even though I knew a better way
Not for hunger or poverty
It was more than pears that I ended up
throwin' away... Yeah

Time goes by - now I'm old and grey
Those pears are just a memory
I would gladly pay all I have today
But that's just not the problem you
see... ('cause it's)

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Why do we love all the things that are wrong
Forbidden fruit has a strange siren song
Why do we do what we don't want to do
When we live with regrets our whole lifethrough

[Repeat Chorus]

And I don't even like pears that well...

"Stand"

"Stand"


You had a blank stare-there in your easy chair
you watched as things got out of hand
but now your eyes blink and you begin to think
of what could happen if you stand
you think about the ground you might have lost in this round
your eyes are open to the things that had you bound
and then you rise up from your sleep and put your foot down
you take one final gasp of air before you drown and take a...

stand having done all this
stand with emphasis
stand no analysis
even when you don't understand
put your armor on
stand on the foundation
stand rely upon
the strength that has always been there

and now you stand firm-but not on your own terms
we have no power all alone
but you can feel safe there with your shield of faith
the inner strength in you has grown
and when you draw your sword, the enemy is fair game
we're more than conquerors in Jesus' name so take a...

stand having done all this
stand with emphasis
stand no analysis
even when you don't understand
put your armor on
stand on the foundation
stand rely upon
the strength that has always been there

stand all alone if there's no one around you
stand on your own
stand through the night-wait for the morning to bring you the strength
to finish the fight
stand up tall-stand or fall
stand your ground-don't stand down
stand connected-stand corrected
stand in faith-stand elected

stand [x7]
stand having done all this
stand with emphasis
stand no analysis
even when you don't understand
put your armor on
stand on the foundation
stand rely upon
the strength that has always been there
the strength that has always been there
the strength that has always been there

"Stand In The Gap"

"Stand In The Gap"


[Based on Ezekiel 22:30, 1 Timothy 2:1, James 5:16]

There's no feeling
Like when you have a friend in need
Their heart is wounded -
And you can feel your own heart bleed
And you wonder
Will they pull through this attack
You feel so helpless - you want to be fighting back
Don't think it's over - don't pull away
It's time to stand in - it's time to pray
Set the wheels in motion
With your devotion

Stand in the gap
Coming boldly to His throne of grace
Stand in the gap
He will hear you when you seek His face
Put your weapon to its use
And believe it will produce
Stand in the gap
Until all hell...
Until all hell breaks loose

In the conflict
It seems like He doesn't hear
Be encouraged - He still has an open ear
It's not for nothing
It's not in vain
Make your petitions
Call on His name
He will bring assistance
Through your persistance

The enemy is gonna have to fold his hand
When the army of the Lord begins to take command
Nothing in the heavens or the earth can stand
Against the fervent prayer of a righteous man

"Stand Up"

"Stand Up"



The Battle cry's getting louder
The countdown's close to the final hour
The enemy is on every side
Still no match for the Crucified
Victory unto victory
We are soldiers in His army

Stand up, take a stand for Jesus
Stand up, so the whole world sees us
Showing the way to a world gone astray
Shing our light with all of our might
Stand up, take a stand for Jesus
Stand up, so the whole world sees us
Following Him, and serving Him
Fighting the fight that we know we will win

Out of our pews and into the streets
Making some use of our beautiful feet
Redeeming the time for the days are evil
This whole world's in such upheaval
We wrestle not with flesh and blood
But when the enemy comes in like a flood

Gotta lay our lives down
And stand up for the truth we've found
Gotta let the redeemed of the Lord say so

"Storm Comin'"

"Storm Comin'"



Went to sleep last night and I woke up feeling right
Daylight in my eyes and it seemed to be really bright
I went to the window and I looked up in the sky
I saw the angels coming but I knew it wasn't time to die
I took a look around I saw the clouds begin to form
I knew we must be near the end because the clouds come before the storm

I know the time is near
Lightning and thunder will soon here

Storm comin'
And it's coming our way
Storm comin'
And it might come today
(look out, here it comes)

I know my days are numbered
And I haven't got long to roam
It seems like quite a while I've been feeling like I want to go home
I'm just waiting for the day when Jesus will come and take me by the hand
There's no need to worry, He's gonna take me to the promise land

I hope you'll be there too
Jesus is waiting for you

Storm comin'
And it's coming our way
Storm comin'
And it might come today
(look out, here it comes)

"Strong Convictions"

"Strong Convictions"


[Based on Romans 12:2]

Western world where the strong survive
And the meek will inherit the dregs
Living now in the twilight time
Will the world hear the answer it begs

Secular and sacred blur
Without even raising a flag
When so many masters call
Is it the tail or the dog that will wag?
With some among us weak at the knees
And many others who do as they please
There still remains a witness
The few who will stand and say

I've got strong convictions 'bout the way that I live
I've got no concessions that I'm willing ot give
Strong convictions that are worth living by
Strong convictions 'till the day I die

It's so hard seeing black and white
When so much appears to be gray
With no faith in the absolute
It's no wonder the standard will stray
With bold convictions leading the way
With those who have them willing to say
There is a new horizon
I can say as for me and mine

Pressure makes the perfect diamond
Measure of the saints refining
Don't ever want to stray
I really want to stay
Steadfast and immovable in Him

"Take Me In"

"Take Me In"



Take me past the outer courts
Into the Holy place
Past the brazen altar
Lord I want to see Your face
Pass me by the crowds of people
The priests who sing Your praise
I hunger and thirst for Your righteousness
And it's only found one place

Take me in to the Holy of Holies
Take me in by the blood of the Lamb
Take me in to the Holy of Holies
Take the coal, cleanse my lips, here I am
Take the coal, cleanse my lips, here I am

"Taste And See"

"Taste And See"



If all you got is a fancy car
And a precious diamond ring
When you stand before the Lord
Will it really mean a thing?

You've got to see how good your life can be
You've got to feel what's really, really real
How can you know until you taste and see
How good it is to be set free?

Taste and see that the Lord is good
He's got milk and honey for you
Come and dine at the Master's table,
He'll serve bread and wine to you

Well you tasted this and you tasted that
But you still ain't satisfied
You'll never find any peace of mind
In those empty things you tried

Don't be afraid of tasting something new
Your soul is hungry, nothing else will do
The bread of life will keep you satisfied
You won't go hungry or ever be denied

You've got to make up your mind
And leave your old life behind you
You know He'll take it away
