Give it up
Wave Sample     Real Audio Sample     Download MP3


it seems sometimes I've sown
a lifetime of reaping
of the things I knew we're wrong
now it seems I spend allot of time weeping
I've tried to overcome it for so long

all that sin was about to do me in
the tempter stalked me day and night
with no where left to turn
my spiritual concern
about to face my biggest fright

CHORUS:
got to give it up for Jesus Christ
who's in control
got to give it up
His sacrifice will let you go
got to give it up
on the cross of calvary
got to give it up
if you wanna' be set free

I'm sick of running circles
the only way I'm gonna grow
give God complete control
it's the only way I'm sure of
I know that I will see the day
when He looks down on every soul
Look what He's done and what I've become
victory in Jesus' name
who you trying to kid
when you start to really skid
here's where the answer lays

CHORUS

You're the only one who makes things new
and I give it all to you...



911
911 Video Sample


walkin through the valley of the shadow of death
you feel a cold hand upon your shoulder
wake up in the mornin' look into the mirror
and you see you're gettin' older

you're havin an emergency you're house is burnin down
and you're watchin' all your treasure turn to dust
no time to call 911 call JESUS

drivin down the highway fast as you can go
passin' on the double yellow line
kinda in a hurry gotta get to school
risk you're life just to save a little time

so you pull out into traffic put the hammer down
then you're starin' at the headlights of a bus
no time to call 911 call JESUS

HEY THERE lonely and confused victims of abuse
its not over
Jesus is you're friend tryin to come in
think over

well you wanna turn you're life around
tired of all that sin
and you're wishin' there was someone you could trust
no time to call 911 call JESUS
 




The Hammer
Wave Sample     Real Audio Sample     Download MP3


I can't calm the wind I can't stop the rain
can't turn the water into wine
cant heal the sick or make the lame to walk again
and I cant give sight to the blind

but I wont have to feel what he did
and I wont have to shed my blood
and I wont cry the tears that Jesus must have cried
when they placed him on that cross of wood

Then They Nailed Him Down

so many million people God loves them every one
he died just to receive them
such a lovin father gave his only son
and all you do is just believe him

then you wont have to feel what he did
you wont have to shed you're blood
and you wont cry the tears that JESUS must have cried
when they placed him on that cross of wood

Then They Nailed Him Down

then you wont have to feel what he did
you wont have to shed you're blood
and you wont cry the tears that JESUS must have cried
when they placed him on that cross of wood

Then They Nailed Him Down



Born Again
Wave Sample     Real Audio Sample     Download MP3


now Nicodemus was a real cool cat
he came to see the King
he said "man You've got it, you come from God,
you do those miraculous things!"
Jesus said: "I'll tell you what, you must be born again.
You want to see the kingdom of God?
Well you gotta' be born again, yea..."

so Nicodemus said: "What's up with that?
Re-enter you mother's womb???
I'm 80 years old and my mom's been dead,
she's resting in a tomb!"
Jesus said: "Now the wind blows where it pleases
and yet so does the spirit,
so tell me where it comes and where it goes,
and tell me if you even hear it..."
CHORUS:
"flesh gives birth to flesh
spirit gives birth to spirit
you should not be surprised my saying
you must be born again"
(repeat)

now there's this guy
I just don't know
but he came to me perplexin'
he said: "I go to church, I believe in God,
but I still got lots of question"
so I grabbed the word, said: "Listen up!
Read John 3:1-8!"
'cause when the truth grabs hold
it don't let go
just like fish on bait

CHORUS



Rock Bottom

Give A Little Love
Wave Sample     Real Audio Sample     Download MP3


cant you read the paper we're livin' in the last times
all your lovin' kindness sittin' waitin' at athe red light
you're a man of action what ya doin' in the meantime
talkin' all about love but givin everyone a hard time

why don't ya

give a little love just a little  hmmmm Love
give a little Love won't you give a little Love
give a little Love just a little
don't be afraid to open up your heart
give a little love won't you give a little Love
you get it from above

what you think will happen if you party hearty every night
all the friends around you think they're havin' such a good time
when the party's over they'll be standin' in the wrong line
talkin' all about love but givin' everyone a hard time
why dont they

give a little Love...........




Walkin' With The Lord


let me tell ya' about this time
I was living like the lost
it was a time of total chaos
I did not think about the cost
things we're looking mighty grim
as I gazed deep in the haze
didn't know where I was going
I was goin 'bout my ways...

there was a stir inside
which broke down all my pride
I turned to Jesus Christ
Who zapped me between the eyes!

CHORUS:
walkin' with the Lord
you know I'm talking with the Lord
you know I'm walking
and talking with the Lord

a christian guy who asked me once
do you share this likelihood?
he said the devil gets a victory
every time that I do good
I said man you cannot loose
you're like a flag that's been unfurled
'cause greater is He that is in you
than he that's in the world

never let him box you in
you're the one who's gonna win
your rock is Jesus Christ
who gives eternal life

CHORUS



Durango


been a long time since you said goodbye
you've gone so many miles since you left your wife and kids
me and mom well we're doin' fine, I guess
theres just one man that we'll always miss
down in Durango

thats where I wanna go
down in Durango
thats where the angels go
Durango

the postman brings all you're letters back address unknown
I tried to call you an the telephone
theres a million stars in the sky above
but theres just one man that we'll always  love
down in Durango

thats where I wanna go
down in Durango
thats where the angels go
Durango

after six years we finally found you.
I thought I would have my daddy
 and he would live me too.
I know you're real busy and all
but I sure would like to hear your voice,
please call
I just had my birthday,
mom says I'll be as tall as you
if I keep growing this way.
daddy i miss you

down in Durango
thats where I wanna go
down in Durango
thats where the angels go
Durango......daddy I Love you



Love One Another

things get rough and tougher everyday
as life seems like another big display
we gripe as we grapple, we rant as we rave
but I tell you it doesn't have to be that way

things that matter are things you like to most
and the things you like to prove
are the things you boast
where's it gonna' get you
just where you gonna' go
or tell me do you even know?

CHORUS:
'cause it's a hard, cruel, ruthless world
but you gotta' stand up and fight!
because we'll all stand at the throne
regardless of who's wrong or right
Jesus said love one another
so tell me how you treat your brother
what that says to me
is love one another

people at the church gather all around
to worship The Lord
'cause we know we're heaven bound
tell me why we argue
over little things
we should build each other up
'till the point we'll wanna' sing
can't we say the things that really matter most
all over the world, from coast to coast
to follow His example to the very end
'cause you know we're gonna' finally win!

CHORUS



Prayin' For A Miracle

wagin' war we cant feed the poor
too much air pollution I dont see no solution
tired of the same ol same old lookin' for a cool cool change
cant get no satisfaction we are headed for total destruction
prayin for a miracle from Jesus Christ in whom we believe

Prayin for a miracle you gotta ask before you receive it
prayin for a miracle from Jesus Christ in whom we believe
Prayin for a miracle he raised the dead the blind can see
prayin for a miracle
He's got the power He's got the power
He's got the power you've got to believe

Prayin for a miracle you gotta ask before you receive it
prayin for a miracle from Jesus Christ in whom we believe
Prayin for a miracle he raised the dead the blind can see
prayin for a miracle  watch out
He's got the power He's got the power
He's got the power you've got to believe



Stand

Lord I try so hard to be myself
so much so that I'm someone else
my inner fears have gripped me again

and I try so hard to do what is right
so much so that I dim Your light
oh Lord, I'm sorry, I've failed you again

CHORUS
I hear the Lord say
Stand, stand, stand on my word
'cause I'll never leave
your prayers I have heard
stand, stand, until I return
'cause I'm coming back
and soon you will learn
if you stand, stand, stand
on my word

Lord I try so hard to grow each day
so much so that I get in Your way
oh Lord, help me, to understand
and I try so hard to keep my heart pure
so much so that I'm not quite sure
where I'm going
oh Lord, please lead the way

CHORUS



Hero
Wave Sample     Real Audio Sample     Download MP3


Tommy was just a little boy
when his daddy walked away
I'm never coming back again
Tommy heard his daddy say
10 years later and out on the streets
with no home, no place to stay
Tommy leaves his wife and kids
to walk in his fathers ways

CHORUS:
give me a hero I'm not asking for signs
give me someone who's gonna' draw the line
give me a warrior no stranger to strife
just give me someone, with God in their life

Jesse never knew her father
and only felt the sting of her mothers' hand
the only love that she thought she found
was at the touch of Tommy's hand
now Tommy's gone and the rent is due
the kids are fighting once again
she shuts the door and takes the gun in her hand
and prays that God will understand

CHORUS

give me a hero
 give me a hero
give me a hero
for the Lord
(repeat)



Sodom & Gomorrah
Wave Sample     Real Audio Sample     Download MP3


you think you know me
you don't have a clue
well I've been listening
listening to you
you put me down
any way you can
I think you know just who I am

CHORUS:
sodom & gomorrah
look what's coming for ya'!
sodom & gomorrah
don't say I didn't warn ya'!

remember Lot?
they were at his door
he tried to leave
but they wanted some more
filled with lust
and evil desire
but what they got
was a pillar of fire

CHORUS

you think you know it
you know the times
you look around
you don't see signs
I know you know it
you know it's true
but you don't know
what might happen to you

CHORUS



Stop
Wave Sample     Real Audio Sample     Download MP3


I've been running 'round in circles
satan's got me by the hind leg
dragging me down
don't know where I'm going
keep on smiling keep on crying
like a circus clown

don't know how I can keep goin' on
can't see why I gotta' hang around
don't know who to put my trust in
and I wonder when it's ever gonna' stop!

I remember being happy
never had a bad day
a long, long time ago
now I got depression,
confusion, and rejection
and I'm so alone

don't know how I can keep goin' on
can't see why I gotta' hang around
don't know who to put my trust in
and I wonder when it's ever gonna' stop!

BRIDGE:
praise the name of Jesus!
praise the name of Jesus!
He's my rock
He's my fortress
He's my deliverer
in Him will I trust
praise the name of Jesus!

now I can remember
the devil he's so clever
that he made me lose my way
got to praise the name of Jesus
trust Him and believe Him
and follow Him everyday

I know how I can keep going on
He is why I got to hang around
Jesus Christ I put my trust
and I don't think that it's ever gonna' stop!




Bang!
Wave Sample     Real Audio Sample     Download MP3


Bang went the gun on the street in the night
as the poor man tried to score
Bang was the echo down the concrete hall
as they slammed that prison door
Bang went the gavel in the judges hand
as he sealed this sinners' fate
bang went the latch on the golden door
when they closed those pearly gates

go and sin no     go and sin no more
go and sin no     go and sin no more

Bang went the hammer on the nail in the wood
of the cross where the man was lain
Bang went the thunder when the lightning flashed
and revealed our saviours' pain
Bang was the sound of the tearing veil
in the room of the Holy one
Bang was the closing of the book in the hands of God
when the deed was done

go and sin no       go and sin no more
go and sin no     go and sin no more

Bang was the fallin' of the rock in the door
of the cave where his body lay
Bang went the heart in the breast of the maid
when she saw that empty cave
Bang went the lock on the chain round the doors
where death held his prisoners bound
cuz you're saved with a Bang when you believe on the Lord
you can lay you're burdens down

go and sin no     go and sin no more
go and sin no       go and sin no more
go and sin no      go and sin no more
go and sin no       dont you slam the door
   Go and Sin No More

U & Me & God
Wave Sample       Download MP3


you...
and me...
and God...
had a feeling of love and care
now it's vanished into thin air

keep your eyes on the path
and you won't go astray
like the night consumes the day
there's a feeling you've gone away

time...
doesn't take so long
until you're standing before the throne
don't be standing there all alone

life...
begins with loving God
and the hardening of our hearts
is what's tearing us all apart

Love!
we'll miss you when you go away
God!
always there when you go astray
Love!
we'll miss you when you go away
God!
always there when you go astray

now...
the time is close at hand
gotta stick to the Masters plan
like the way that you first began

with you...
and me...
and God...
gotta feeling of love and care
and the hope that we'll soon be there

Love!
we'll miss you when you go away
God!
always there when you go astray
Love!
we'll miss you when you go away
God!
always there when you go astray
(repeat)
