"Holy Ghost Power"

"Holy Ghost Power"


Everybody's talking about power
Power to the people they say
Everybody tryin' to get more power
They're goin' in circles today

I'm sick of this jive, gonna hop in my rod
Gonna motivate clear across town
Gonna go to church, gonna end my search
Gonna fill my soul with power

[Chorus]
Holy Ghost power gonna fill you today
Holy Ghost power gonna take you away
Holy Ghost power gonna fill you within
Holy Ghost power gonna save you from sin

Don't give me no jive, you ain't even alive
'Till you get your heart right with God
Better ask Him in and forget your sin
Let Him fill your soul with power

[Repeat Chorus]

"Homeless Few"

"Homeless Few"


[Based on Luke 10:30-37, 1 John 3:17]

Where are the amber waves of grain
When one of our homeless native sons has hunger pain
Under the overpass they build a fire for heat
They can't remember when they had a meal to eat

Some sleep in doorways waiting for the day
Some sleep in boxes we have thrown away

Under the red, white and blue
Right down the street in our view
We're not doing all we can do
To shelter the homeless few
Shelter the homeless few

Standing in line for soup and bread
Hoping tonight the downtown mission has a bed
Dreaming about the home they thought they'd never lose
Sleeping on benches covered by the daily news

People who pass them by just turn their heads
Making them feel like they've been left for dead

Under the red, white and blue
Right down the street from our pew
We're not doing all we can do
To shelter the homeless few
Shelter the homeless few

It's up to me
It's up to you
We're not doing all we can do
To shelter the homeless few
Shelter the homeless few

"How Long"

"How Long"



We have sung our songs of victory
We have prayed to you for rain
We have cried your compassion
To renew the land again
Now we're standing in your presence
More hungry than before
Now we're on your steps of mercy and we're knocking at your door

How long
Before you drench the barren land
how long
Before we see a righteous man
How long
Before your name is lifted high
How long
Before the weeping turns to songs of joy

Lord, we know your heart is broken
By the evil that you see
And you've stayed your hand of judgment
For your plan to set men free
But the land is still in darkness
And we've fled from what is right
And we've failed the silent children
Who will never see the light

But I know a day is coming
When the deaf will hear his voice
When the blind will see the savior
And the lame will leap for joy
When a widow finds a husband
Who will always love his bride
And the orphan finds a father
Who will never leave her side

How long
Before your glory lights the skies
How long
Before your radiance lifts our eyes
How long
Before your fragrance fills the air
How long
Before the earth resounds with songs of joy

"I Am Available"

"I Am Available"


[Based on Matthews 9:37-38, Romans 12:1]

I don't have much to offer you, I don't have much to give
There's so much I may never be as long as I may live
I may never be all I want to be although I'll always try
But if you choose me, to use me, there's just one reason why

I am available, I am available
I will go when you say go
I am available, I am available
I will stop when you say no
My whole life was incomplete till I laid it at Your feet
So use me as You will
I am available

I'm not the most dependable - sometimes you can't rely
There's no excuse, there's no defense, there's only one reply

I know that my ability is not Your main concern
It's my availability and willingness to learn

"I Am On The Rock"

"I Am On The Rock"


The earth is shakin'
It's like a bad dream
This world is crumblin'
Comin' apart at the seam,
But I am on the Rock, I am on the Rock

Everywhere I'm turning
It's only bad news
This bomb is tickin'
And we're getting to the end of the fuse,
But I am on the Rock, I am on the Rock

Are you ready?

[Chorus]
I am on the Rock, the sure foundation
I am on the Rock, on the Rock/I am on the Rock/the Rock of Jesus
I am on the Rock, His revelation
I am on the Rock.
Though the winds may blow
And though the floods may grow
I shall not be moved, 'cause I am on the Rock

The storm's approaching,
I'm standing high and dry
Firmly planted
On the Rock that is higher than I,
I am on the Rock, I am on the Rock

Kingdoms failing,
They fall around me
Plans eroded
And washing away to the sea,
I am on the Rock, I am on the Rock

Are you ready?

[Chorus]

There is no Rock in this world but our God!

[Chorus]

"I Can Be Friends With You"

"I Can Be Friends With You"



I can be friends with you
There's no better friend that a man can know
I can be friends with you
And I feel so special
'Cause it's you I know

I don't know the governor
Even though I'm a resident
I don't rub shoulders with the dignities
Or shake hands with the President

And I know I can be with you
And I don't have to wait in line
You're the author and creator of all the world
And a personal friend of mine

When I have a problem
I can always come to You
Regardless of the situation
I know You know what to do
You put Your arm around and speak so tenderly
And I feel better just to know You care
And you took the time for me

Greater love has no man than this
That a man lay his life down for his friend
But You laid down for all the world to see
And You proved Your love for me

I'm no special person
I've got nothing to offer You
But You treat me like I'm the only one
With whom you have to do
You're closer than a brother
And You're with me every day
I love You 'cause You first loved me
And I'm glad that I can say

 

[fox69]

"I Love The Lord"

"I Love The Lord"



Well I don't care what some may say
Gonna stand up for the Lord today
Well I don't care if they all know
Gonna let the Lord's redeemed say so

Gonna say it loud - gonna say it proud
Hey! I, I love the Lord
I, I love the Lord

Come join the throng - ten million strong
Come lift your voice and sing this victory song
Gotta choose today whom you will serve
Don't try to wait to find the nerve
The lines are drawn - no middle ground
Don't you know you're either lost or found

 

[fox69]

"I Love You, Lord"

"I Love You, Lord"



I love you, Lord
And I lift my voice
To worship You
Oh, my soul, rejoice!

Take joy my King
In what You hear
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
In Your ear

In what You hear

Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
(Let it be a sweet sound)
In Your ear

I love you, Lord

To worship You
Oh, my soul, rejoice!

Take joy my King
In what You hear
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound
In Your ear

I love you, Lord

"I Need To Hear From You"

"I Need To Hear From You"



I've been away for a little while
And I don't like where it takes me
Out of touch I'm going out of my mind
It's times like these that really break me

So here I am all alone
I'm waiting on You
Just a word will get me through

I need to hear from You
Before this night is through
I need to hear from You
So I'm waiting, waiting just to hear from you

My whole world is turning upside down
When I'm lacking in direction
I don't care if it takes all night
I need to feel Your sweet affection

So let me hear words of life
I'm lost without You
Speak to me the way You do

I've been here in this place before
And You're not the one to blame
I need to know what You have in store
So I'm on my knees callin' out Your name

I need to hear from You
Deep inside my heart
I need to hear from You
Just a still small voice is gonna get me through

"I Waited For The Lord On High"

"I Waited For The Lord On High"


[Chorus:]
I waited
For the Lord on high
I waited
And He heard my cry

He pulled me out of my despair
He taught me how to walk
From fear into security
From quicksand to the Rock

[Chorus:]

I sing to let the people know
That I have been restored
And they will kneel and understand
To return and trust in the Lord

[Chorus:]

And there's a new song
In my heart to sing
There's a new song
Praises for my King

I waited.
