On & On Face to Face No Condemnation Paradigm Eternal Lifestyle The River Revolution Something Electric Majic Show So Hard I Try Camouflage Soul Truth About God It Will Be Worth It All

Backstreets on a Sunday night
Running from the fear into the wall
Crazy thoughts had passed his mind
But the seed had yet to bloom
Now he's scared to face the thorns of his actions

And it goes on and on...

First glance then a second look
Not too long
The third eye chose to stare
And it said
To go ahead, take a bite, promises

And it goes on and on...

Chorus:
I don't remember innocence
It's been so long
So far down this winding road
I can't remember my way home

It's all a cross to you
What have I done?
Such tainted decisions
But now I'm past the point of no return
Never to go back
Now the seed is sown, the tree is grown,
It's all a cross to you

It seems I came to life when I heard
You whisper You said the words I love you
Every time I think about Your grace it's clearer
You are the one I've been searching for to complete me

Chorus:
When I draw near You always meet me
Longing just to be together again
With every passing day
The shadows in my life fade away
The more I see You face to face

Tell me all Your stories from a thousand places
Of how You made it through
When I hear Your voice my eyes are filled with wonder
I forget the trials and the thorns I find around my feet yeah

Someday
My dreams will soon be reality
Someday
My dreams will be reality it seems
I came to life when I heard You whisper
You said the words I love you

Like mud in the bottom of a cup of solid gold,
A stain upon the pure, but a veil to cover the soil
From His life I learned perfection, but
His death gave even more
It's like a diamond promise,
and His love I can't ignore

Chorus:
No condemnation
No separation
Our destination
Is sactification

To the keep ears of a dog the philosophy is told,
And from the crumbs of His table
Tumble secrets to the prophecies of old
It's like handing out the keys to the cells on death row,
Now I'm a dead man walking and His cross I'm bound to tow

Don't you see what He's done for me?
Did you know His grace would go this far?
The power to forgive and the strength so you can live,
I have become His righteousness

Everybody loves a rose,
But will you be thankful for the thorns?
Love is easy when you're loved,
But do you curse another when you're alone?

Chorus:
Oh, I give my life to You so I can gain it back again
Oh, I stand solid while the paradigm is shifting

You say live and let live,
But people are dying everyday
And you way what I don't know won't hurt me
But if what I do not know
Is the very thing I need,
Then I say

Humanity sees truth through a shattered window pane
That blocks the view,
And plants the seed
So we draw the curtains to close but I say
That the sun can still shine behind a closed mind
And sticks and stones do hurt
When tossed from the tongue of mankind

I see you punks with your spikes, your hair dyed, or maybe it's all shaved off
I see you preppies with your v-neck vests over button downs
I see you jocks, you captain of the team with your real mean game face on
But the fashion show can only last so long

Chorus:
Eternal lifestyle
I see you really know what matters
Eternal lifestyle
I'm looking inside

I see you take the road less traveled because of your convictions
And you find the positive in the valley of confusion
Your heart is much more valuable than a diamond ring
So don't hide it let it glow

You are the light of the world
You are the salt of the earth
You are the light of the world
You are the salt of the earth

You have the answers to eternal questions
You hold the keys that the lost are searching for
In your eyes I see a vision of the future
I see the world and I smile

Dry thoughts of a better day
My hope like stones in the dust lay
Fast pace to escape
My search for living water
Cool breeze on the water top
Smooth shine on a silver rock
Lord please let Your current see
through to the inside

CHORUS:
Lose myself
Cover me over
Find my life
Down at the river

Cut deep into shallow ground
Through me it can flow now
Winding to the blue sea off in the distance
And Sundays always come around
Down at the river

Dry thoughts of a better day
My hope like stones in the dust lay
Fast pace to escape
My search for living water

Cool breeze on the water top
Smooth shine on a silver rock
Lord please let Your current see
Through to the inside

Chorus:
Lose myself
Cover me over
Find my life
Down at the river

Cut deep into shallow ground
Through me You can flow now
Winding to the blue sea off in the distance

And Sundays always come around
Down at the river

I see a mighty army that no one can destroy
They'll leave a trail of victory 'til judgment day
Then there comes a warning
calling soldiers to war
But half of them were sleeping,
the other half ignore

CHORUS:
Why have we come here?
What lies in store?
Isn't this what we have all been waiting for?
Stand and be counted,
because one thing I know,
We all are soldiers in the revolution
of heart and mind and soul

The end of all your worrying,
we have all that we need
So stifle all your fear and complacency
Yeah, we walk through the valley
and we glow in the shadow of death
We don't march alone, no,
and life is too short to rest

Oh, I am convinced that the consequence of Your effort is eternity
And paradise remains for those who chose to claim His promise as reality

Nor death
Nor life
Nor angels
Nor principalities
Nothing present can separate us from His love

I see a mighty army that no one can destroy
They'll leave a trail of victory 'til judgment day
Then there comes a warning calling soldiers to war
But half of them were sleeping, the other half ignore

Chorus:
Why have we come here?
What lies in store?
Isn't this what we have all been waiting for?
Stand and be counted, because one thing I know,
We are all soldiers in the revolution of heart and mind and soul

The end of all your worrying, we have all that we need
So stifle all your fear and complacency
Yeah, we walk through the valley and we glow in the shadow of death
We don't march alone, no, and life is to short to rest

Oh, I am convinced that the consequence of Your effort is eternity
And paradise remains for those who chose to claim His promise as reality
Nor death
Nor life
Nor angels
Nor principalities
Nothing present can separate us from His love

Millions wander around this place
Bewildered wonder on their face
There's something electric
Jagged rocks taht reach and pry
Water falls through shattered sky
There's something electric
Silect impact
As the fountain meets its fate
There's something electric

Chorus:
Be still, don't try to explain
Keep listening
Oh just know, that God made you something electric

Rising in the east
The horizon is alive
There's something electric
Crimson splashes
Chips the break of day
There's something electric
Could it be the colors?
Could it be the way the sun chases the night away?
I don't know but there's something electric

(Light decides to rest while evening takes center stage
Shadows grow
Making crosses seem more like skyscrapers
The dust innocently passes
While His mother pauses to weep
She sees Him hanging there like some
Link between severed loves
Or some
Ornament of divine madness
But in His last breath
In His last thought
He knew You were something electric)

Would you believe if I turned water to wine?
Would you belive if I gave sight to the blind?

Chorus:
Can you calm the storm?
Can you calm the storm?

I could be a man or a myth
I could be the greatest teacher the world has ever known
I could be a crazy man
I could be the Son

Would you believe if I could walk on an angry sea?
Would you come to me if I healed all your disease?

Can you calm the storm?
Can you hush the wind?
Can you hold back the rain?
Can you calm the storm
That rages in the life of a wicked man?

I could be a man or a myth
I could be the greatest teacher the world has ever known
I could be a crazy man
I could be the Son

Don't you see that I love you?
Don't you see that I love you?

But you still don't believe
I can tell by the way you roll your eyes
And you still don't believe
And I can tell by the way that you live your life

I could be a man or a myth
I could be the greatest teacher the world has ever known
I could be a crazy man
I could be the Son

Can you calm the storm...

There are times I feel so far
From where I want to be
But I know You've been there too
And now You're here with me

My roots' in the ground
Head's in the clouds
How I wish I could leave
I'm branching out to heaven
Bound to the dirt
But I can see the sun

Chorus:
No matter how high
I'm reaching out for what I can't hold
So hard I try
But I'm holding on to what I can't reach

In the summer it's easy to find a reason
To keep on growing strong
But in the autumn when my leaves fall
So do my hopes and I can't find a reason at all

Though storms wrestle my faith
I'll bend but I won't break
The clouds make it seem
The light is gone
But I can see the sun

Though storms may wrestle my faith
I'll bend but I won't break
The clouds make it seem
That all the light is gone, but I can see the sun

Another chance has come and gone
And I allowed my faith to fade into the background
How can I claim to be like your Son
And keep hanging on to what I know
He died to free me from?

I'm tired of blending in
I'm tired of being one of the crowd
While everyone knows my name
Nobody knows my God

Chorus:
I don't want to be another camouflage soul
'Cuz I've been that way to long
I don't want to be another camouflage soul

I finally realize the danger in sitting onthe sidelines
Conformity is failure
I have the disguise to look the part
But I don't want to wear
Your cross around my neck
And not have Your peace in my heart

I'm tired of blending in
I'm tired of being one of the crowd
While everyone knows my name
Nobody knows my God

I've got a change of heart
And I won't change my mind
I'm ready for a brand new start
Now I've got to change my life
Denying You is like saying that the world is flat
Why would I do that?
Turn my back on what You've done for me
Never again

Now I've got this bracelet
Asking me what would He do...
If He were in my shoes,
He never wouldn've walked both sides of the fence

I've got a change of heart
And I won't change my mind
I'm ready for a brand new start
Now I've got to change my life

Chorus:
I found the answers
You need are you listening?
I'll tell you the truth about God
My eyes haven't seen Him
These hands haven't touched Him
I've never seen the wind
But I felt the breeze today
I don't know where it came from
And I don't know where it went
But this kite can't deny it's in the sky

Just like a lost man
Stumbling through the scorching sand
With flashes and mirages all around
The sun is going down
And everything he's found
Has left him further out than when he begun

Bloody are his fingers
And sweat drips from his brow
He's got it in his mind
That, digging deeper, he will find
Satisfaction in the sand dripping from his hands
But you don't hear me

It will be worth it all someday
It will be worth it to go the straight and narrow way
When we finally see His face
And feel His warm embrace
It will be worth it all that day

These present troubles don't compare
To all the glory our God, He has prepared
'Cause when we finally see His face
And feel His strong embrace
It will be worth it all that day

And I can see the angels as they celebrate and call your name
And I can hear teh Father, with a tear in His eye
As He says well done my good and faithful servant
Well done

It will be worth it all
It will be worth it all
It will be worth it all that day
