"Be Of Good Cheer"

"Be Of Good Cheer"


Peace be unto you
My peace I give to you
In this world you'll surely find
Trials of many different kinds, but

[Chorus]
Be of good cheer
Be of good cheer
For I have overcome this world
Be of good cheer
Be of good cheer

For now I go away
But I will return
To take you to a place to dwell
So where I am you'll be as well

[Repeat Chorus]

In this world you'll surely find
Trials of many different kinds
But I will not forsake you then
I'll be with you until the end

[Repeat Chorus]

"Beat The System"

"Beat The System"


[Based on Romans 8:37, Mark 10:31, Matthew 10:39]

Caught in the undertow being swept downstream
Going against the flow seems like such a dream
Trying to hold your ground when you start to slide
Pressure to compromise comes from every side
Wise up, rise up

You can be more than a conqueror, you will never face defeat
You can dare to win by losing all, you can face the heat - dare to
Beat the System

On the assembly line trying to break the mold
Time to throw the wrench that will stop it cold
Going against the odds being the underdog
Dare to wield the sword that will slice the fog

You can go for it all
You can go for broke
You can turn the tide around
You can aim for the top
And take the lion's share
If you dare to hold your ground

"Believer In Deed"

"Believer In Deed"


[Based on 1 John 3:18]

On his journey we begin at birth
This fleeting moment that we spend on earth
No second chance to live it all again
It must be now or never
To cherish each endeavor
What will they say that I have left behind
A faithful heritage for all to find
What will the see?
I want my legacy to be

He was a believer in deed
He had a heart of a different breed
He made his mark and he lived by his creed
A true believer
A believer in deed

Am I living everything I say?
Am I pointing others to the way?
Will I leave this world a better place?
Will Jesus say he knew me
Is Jesus living through me?
Did I maintain my authenticity?
A man of honor and integrity?
Remembering me
I hope that they will truly see

At the end of my days I know I'm gonna say
I wouldn't live my life any other way
I'll look to my posterity to carry on for me
And pray that they will see

"Bema Seat"

"Bema Seat"


[Based on Romans 14:10, 1 Corinthians 3:12-15]

When our labor all retire
There will be a trial by fire
Will your treasure pass the test
Or will it burn up with the rest
You may build upon a sure foundation
With your building in dilapidation
When it all comes down to rubble
Will it be wood, hay, or stubble
Or precious stones, gold and silver-
Are you really sure?

And we all will stand at the Bema Seat
All will be revealed - it will be complete
Will there be reward in the fiery heat
When we see our lives at the Bema Seat

Every talent will be sure counted
Every word will have to be accounted
Not a story will be left untold
We will stand watch the truth unfold
Every score - will be evened - nothing to defend

Every building will be shaken
Every motive will be tried
He'll give reward to the faithful
Will you receive or be denied?

"Better Is One Day"

"Better Is One Day"



How lovely is your dwelling place
O Lord Almighty
For my soul longs and even faints for you
For here my heart is satisfied
Within your presence
I sing beneath the shadow of Your wings

Better is one day in your courts
Better is one day in your house
Better is one day in your courts
Than thousands elsewhere

One thing I ask and I would seek
To see your beauty
To find you in the place your glory dwells

My heart and flesh cry out
For you, the living God
Your spirit's water to my soul
I've tasted and I've seen
Come once again to me
I will draw near to you
I will draw near to you

"Beyond Belief"

"Beyond Belief"


We're content to pitch our tent
When the glory's evident
Seldom do we know
The glory came and went

Moving can seem dangerous
In this stranger's pilgrimage
Knowing that you can't stand still
You cross the bridge

[Chorus]
There's a higher place to go
Beyond belief, beyond belief
Where we reach the next plateau
Beyond belief, beyond belief
And from faith to faith we grow
Towards the center of the flow
Where He beckons us to go
Beyond belief, beyond belief

Leap of faith without a net
Makes us want to hitch our bed
Waters never part
Until our feet get wet, whoa, whoa

There's a deeper place to go
Where the road seems hard to hoe
He who has begun this work
Won't let it go (let it go!)

[Chorus]

And it takes so long to see the change
But we look around, and it seems so strange
We have come so far, but the journey's long
And we once were weak, but now we are strong

[Chorus]

"Blinded Eyes"

"Blinded Eyes"


[Based on Matthew 15:14, 1 Corinthians 4:3-6, Ephesians 4:18]

Don't know where you're going but you think you know the way
20-20 vision but you can't see the light of day
Road is wide or narrow but you can't tell which is which
Blind will follow blind and you'll both end up in the ditch
Can't you see you can't see? Don't you know - you don't know?

Blinded eyes can't see the light
When it's glowing in the night right in front of you
Blinded eyes can't see the truth
When it's written on the wall in plain view
Blinded eyes can't see the Son
Or the work that He has done out of love for you
Blinded eyes

Groping in the darkness searching for the missing switch
Come up empty-handed try to scratch the endless itch
There is only one light that can penetrate your mind
Just one look at Jesus could leave their scales behind
Can't you see - you could see? Don't you know - you could know?

"Breathe In"

"Breathe In"



When the rain was coming down on my face
Your love was the sun that I embraced
All the things in my heart for so long
Need to fall in the sea of forever gone
When there's days I could really fall in
It's in the dark you may see your only friend
So visit me in my castle of sand
Fill the walls with your presence once again

You can hear me and I can feel you when

I close my eyes and I dream
Of the day you'll come for me
I close my eyes and I dream
But until the day, I need your love to set me free
I want you to breathe into me

Living life is what I want out of me
To capture love and then to set it free
So give me wings and I'm out of here
to set in flight all the things you made so clear

I've walked the line between love and fear
And took the time to know life is sheer
Take me with you
It moves too fast, oh this world I'm in
To face the past, lets me rest again
I'll take you with me

"Chameleon"

"Chameleon"



You want the best of both worlds
You're not getting either
You seem content to ride the fence
When you know which side is greener

Some run hot, some run cold
Some run from their maker
Some run the risk of losing out
With lukewarm friends and fakers

Chameleon
You blend with your surroundings
Chameleon
No one knows where you come from
Chameleon
You change with every situation
Compromising dedication

You compromise each word you say so innoffensively
You only want to hide behind your anonymity
You struggle for acceptance
And it takes you to extremes
The smile you hide your face behind
Is not all that it seems

Come out, come out
Come out from among them
Come out, come out
Come out and be free

There is no gray, no neutral ground
There's only black and white
And nothing in between the two
To turn a wrong into right
There is no time for your charade
You've got to make your stand
When salt has lost its savor
The world becomes so bland

"Clamaré A Mi Señor"

"Clamaré A Mi Señor"



Clamaré a mi Señor
Porque El es digno de loor
De mis enemigos me salvará

Jesús vive
Bendita sea la roca
El Dios de mi salvación sea exaltado
