A Different Man
Song Index
More Like You
Everywhere I go
Let me be a servant
Let my hope be known
And my prayer be fervent
That is rising to Your ear
So that from my heart you'll hear
CHORUS:
You are perfect, You are holy
You are faithful, You are true
And I long to live in Your glory
Oh Lord make me more like You
Oh Lord make me more like You
Silver and gold
All the world's attractions
These things I hold
They are just distractions
From the truth that sets me free
'Cause when I look at You I see
Repeat CHORUS
When my time is through
And my days are ending
I'll trust in You
For a new beginning
In Your presence everyday
In my final breath I'll say

No Fear
Flipped on my TV
Images come to me
Looks like a world gone wrong
Turned on my radio
No, it's another joe rock star just selling songs
We've got quick fix automation
Another generation
Excellent at falling down
And a covetous inertia
Know it's getting worse
You know one day it's all gonna burn to the ground
CHORUS:
If the river don't flow
And they all run dry
And stars start falling from the sky
Whatever (happens to me
It is well with my soul)
Well, I have no fear
Because I know
That my God rules
He's in control forever
Forever
Forever
Forever
Street corner prophet
Yeah, he's been talking
About the end of time
And I don't doubt it
Cause I read about it
All in Revelation 9
They say we're in a desperate condition
Pass the ammunition
Got to keep yourself alive
I say go protect your acre
I'll go meet my maker
He holds forever
And I'm never gonna die
Repeat CHORUS
Don't fret up your soul
And vex up your mind
Heed the rhythm
Cause its right on time
What's you gonna do when the world's on fire
Clings to things that will expire?
Run to the Lord, heed the word
Be a doer of the things that you heard
Many troubles dem a come
In the life down here
But me going up higher
So have no fear
Are you gonna cry
When it all comes down?
No! No! No!
Are you gonna die
When it all comes down?
No! No! No!
Are you gonna fly
When it all comes down
Yeah

Arms of Jesus
Like a tainted hero
Like a wayward son
I get a little lost sometimes
I come undone
Though I know what I believe
Still I find a way to leave and run
I run
I start climbing mountains
To stand so tall
Thinking I belong there
Above it all
And my pride gets the best of me
I stumble on reality and fall
And when I fall
CHORUS:
Let me fall
Into the arms of Jesus
Let me come into His kingdom
And kneel at His cross
When I stand beneath His mercy
I will give up my all
Let me fall into the arms of Jesus
When I've been broken
And stripped away
Of these things I hold on to
That just decay
That's when I find my resting place
I find out how amazing grace can be
So break my heart
Set me free
Repeat CHORUS
This prayer comes straight from my soul
Teach me how to let go
And let me fall
Repeat CHORUS

'Til the End of the World
In a world where people come and go
In a place where no one ever stays
The greatest friend youíll ever know
Is the one who will not walk away
I could hold you with the strongest arms
I could hear you in a silent prayer
And I would feel your deepest scars
I will stand beside you anywhere
CHORUS:
If you believe in me, I will be with you
'Til the end of the world
If you believe in me, I will be with you
'Til the end of the world
When you're standing there in sheer disgrace
And your fears become a raging flood
In that darkness I will take your place
I will sacrifice my flesh and blood
No greater love has any man
Than to lay down his life for a friend
And in my dying words, in my dying words
I have called you friend
Repeat CHORUS

98
Come on and gather round
And listen to my story
About a fall from grace
A change of heart
A rise to glory
A lesson learned
A doorway I went through
Now all I know is I was born to lead
And not to follow
But the places that I led
Turned out to be so hollow
And in the end
I just turned out to be a fool
Justification would make me shine
My performance a work of art
All I ever wanted was to walk that line
But I jumped across and broke Your heart
CHORUS:
For all I've learned
The days I lived it were so rare
The dust of innocence
I scattered who knows where
And when I turned my back on You
You stood right there
And You never left me
No You never left me
These scars I have
I know they are here to remind me
That everything I've said and done
I can leave far behind me
The door is shut
And I shall nevermore return
Everybody says that your childhood dies
A little bit more every day
But all around me are mercy's eyes
And they'll keep me close to You I pray
Repeat CHORUS
You know I came to love You as a young man
Many years ago
But now You've brought me out of harm
And I feel just like a baby in Your arms
Repeat CHORUS

What Would You Do for a King
What would you do for a king
If He won all the battles He went out to fight
And returned as a hero on a starlit night to a cheering crowd?
Would it make you proud?
What would you do for a king
If He kept every promise that He'd ever made
Would you get out the tickertape and lead a parade, a society ball?
Would you care at all?
Kings always seemed to me as such grand, imposing men
So full of stature, full of power
So much authority in every word they say
I never thought I was quite the type
But Iíd still love to meet one someday
What would you do for a king
If He came to your door, would you ask Him in
Would you tell Him how much you admired Him
Do you think you'd dare
Would you be too scared?
Most kings don't seem to know much about the common man
So far removed and set apart
I cheer with thousands, we blend into a roar
Another face in an endless crowd
Is that all I really am, just one more?
So what would you do for a king
If He saw you fishing out by the sea
And He walked up to you and said "Follow me - it's time you know"
Do you think you'd go?
And what would you do for a king
If He took off his crown and agreed to die
And as you tried to understand it, He looked you in the eye and said,
"This is for you"
Well, what would you do?

Be the Word
We can talk 'til we're blue in the face
Words come easy, but to do what we say
Takes the courage of conviction
And a heart of true commitment
We can preach about lovin' each other
But to reach out to our sisters and brothers
Requires a revelation
Of the Father's incarnation
CHORUS:
To be the word, love
Be the word, hope
Be the word, made manifest
Be the word, grace
Be the word, faith
Be the word, made flesh
Through the word, all the worlds took their form
Then He stepped out and left his glorious throne
To establish heaven's kingdom
Though the world would not receive Him
Still He called all the weary and lost
To follow, and to take up His cross
And to go before all nations
As God's living incarnation
Repeat CHORUS
Yes the word that dwelt among us
Full of grace and full of truth
Now has come to dwell within us
To be giving, serving, living proof
Repeat CHORUS

Memphis
The Mississippi River, he's a friend of mine
And the people livin' in this town, they can be so fine
But there's a big line runnin' straight down old Union Avenue
And it breaks that southern lady's heart in two
Now there's an old black man sittin' out front of a shotgun house
And on the other side of town there's a rich man sittin' on a velvet couch
Well nobody forgets what happened thirty years ago
But we gotta forgive the past and that's for sure
Well it should be so plain to see
That it comes down to you and me
And if we all just come together
If we all just take a stand
We could heal the hurtin' and the broken-hearted people
Everybody understand
We gotta all just come together
Ridiní down Beale Street, pop tunes on my radio
Well I love this Delta mama, it's all I know
Well you know I have a dream about black and white and a land of grace
But it's gonna take more than a dream to fix this place
You know it's hard as it can be
To turn the tide of history
We all went to Sunday school
And everybody learned the Golden Rule
Read about the writing on the wall
Learned how Joseph had a nice coat
Noah had a big boat
But then they said sweet Jesus loves us all

Sinner's Prayer
Darkness was a demon that I came to know,
Locked up in a world without a key.
Taking me to places that I never meant to go,
I'm afraid it's been makin' me
A little bit crazy.
Now I'm the first to tell You that I need to change.
I can see it clearly in my mind.
Cleaning out the dusty rooms that remain,
I can leave those burdens far behind.
A different man.
CHORUS:
Openin' up my heart
Knowin' that You'll be there.
Take yesterday from me, and all of my memories,
Never again to bear.
Take this sinner's prayer. Take this sinner's prayer.
Where I've been, I tell You, You don't want to be.
Images I've fought to leave behind.
Through it all there is one thing I can see,
A stronger hand is lifting me on high.
Take me Father.
Repeat CHORUS
Take me now,
Hear my cry.
Come and do what You do.
Makin' me new to start again.
Repeat CHORUS

Walk with Me (Renna's Song)
I can see it in your eyes
I can read it on your face
You need a place to fall
'Cause underneath that smile
You're so far away
But I can still hear you call
At the end of the day
You let go of some tears
You think nobody cares
But there's a place to bear your soul
A place to rest your fears
Let me take you there, baby
CHORUS:
Walk with me, talk with me
Tell me what you're feeling
Come with me, just believe
There's a place that we can go
Walk with me, talk with me
You can let your feelings show
Now I can't change the past
Well you know that if I could
That's something I would do
But I'll give you all my heart
All that's in my soul
I give myself to you, baby
Repeat CHORUS
Whatever road you're going down
Honey I'm asking you to turn around
And feel these arms
They're reaching out to you
Repeat CHORUS
