Amazing

Chorus
Amazing, it is amazing.
Jesus eyes are on you.
Ev’ry day I look out see the walking wounded
It always makes my heart sad.
Walking without Jesus they don’t know the healing
That Jesus can avail them. (Chorus)
In and out of darkness all alone, I’m weary.
It seems like I am alone.
Always right beside me is my Lord to guide me
He never leaves me alone. (Chorus)
Angels fear where I have trod. Never left me has my God.
He always beckons me home.
Jesus has a better way, leads me to another day.
Sins death brings me back home. (Chorus)

The Right Track
04:35
|
|||
|
Never have I been so lonely as before. Those I thought were friends abandoned me.
Those I loved so well are now opposing me. There’s no greater pain I can explain.
Take a stand for rights and justice, purity. No one wants to stand and fight with me.
Bitterness attacks me eating at my soul. But I’ve got a job to do and do well.
I have my dreams. I will not be dissuaded.
I’ll persevere. No one stops me now.
I can’t be stopped. I’m on the right track now.
Cowards melt like wax whenever they face pain. Don’t they understand what it will take?
Great accomplishments don’t grow upon a tree. It takes a man to stand in danger’s way.
I have my dreams. I will not be dissuaded.
I’ll persevere. No one stops me now.
I can’t be stopped. I’m on the right track now.

7 Last Words
03:25
|
|||
|
Slaves were released from Egypt by Pharaoh.
To seek a new land, but they had so far to go.
They yearned for the food that they ate in Egypt’s land.
The sun and the heat blinded vision’s that were grand.
They griped and complained ‘bout the freedom God had made
Their dissatisfaction that God would make them wait
To enter a new land promised Abraham
And follow commandments that numbered all of ten.
We’ve never done it that way….
Habits die hard within the hearts of slaves
Traditions we cling to will take us to the grave.
Our candles and buildings we hold in high esteem
We make our own kingdoms, but God’s not on this team.
We’re serving two masters, the Lord and human ways,
But God will not stand for a heart that always strays.
The scriptures they tell us all we need to know
And habits not contained there are things that have to go.
We’ve never done it that way…
Bridge:
Churches they die and they wonder why.
They close their eyes to the lost, who cry,
“Send us a Savior to heal us from pain!”
These seven last words is our last refrain…
New wine is poured into a new wine skin
Ferments then explodes bursting through and opening.
God will replace those that do not recognize
That people, they’re dying, not knowing Jesus Christ!
We’ve never done it that way…

All You Want
04:17
|
|||
|
I give my gifts, present my praise.
These great things to which I aspire
I offer songs of thankfulness
But this is not what You require.
If You are love,
then I need to act in this love that You inspire
For if I love, then I know you
have this from me is your desire.
Open my ears to hear.
Ease me when I fear it's not enough.
I need to see it clear
All you want's my love.

Mirror, Mirror
03:39
|
|||
|
Mirror, mirror on the wall.
I'm not fair and I'm not tall.
I can't decide what I should wear
to take away my look of fear.
And I try and I try, and I try and I try
just to look just like the other guys.
And those magazines and all their lies
speak of happiness, it cannot fly.
Chorus
And my wounds they bleed, and they're festering
Got to root them out of my life.
And my hands, they ache, I can't celebrate.
The pain's so deep that I can't survive.
I can't survive.
A finger flies as high as a bird.
Their stings are deep, I've already heard.
Their gossip cuts me just like a knife.
A blade of steel to take away my life.
And they try and they try, and they try and they try
just to hurt me like the other guys.
And the media which likes to dwell on the pain,
and then take us to hell (Chorus)
Bridge
We are fragile as a porcelain doll.
And there's nothing left to cushion our fall.
And we're broken just beyond repair.
So we're told that life, it just isn't fair.
And I'll cry and I'll cry, and I'll cry and I'll cry.
And I'll scream and shout and wonder why
that a God of love would be so blind.
How could I be left alone to die. (Chorus)

Save the Children
03:56
|
|||
|
We struggle with indifference, happy as we can be.
Build another tall fence, keep away the pain.
We move into the suburbs, never see our neighbors.
Beautiful big houses, while some live on the streets.
Save the children, save the children, let them bring you to your knees.
Save the children, save the children, let them bring you to your knees.
Afraid to get hands dirty, so filled with selfish living.
Have to lead our own lives, all our hate excused.
We confuse own wants, claiming that we need things.
Using up resources other kids might need.
Save the children, save the children, let them bring you to your knees.
Save the children, save the children, let them bring you to your knees.

Burn
04:43
|
|||
|
You burned the bush and said that, “This is a holy place”
You baptize me with fire, Consumed refined and turned.
Chorus
And I light and I try and so I wonder why
Do I fade and I glow and I stop and I go.
And You light and You glow and I learn as You go
And You burn…
You lit the dripping altar, We can’t conceal Your blaze.
I want to be Your fuel, Lord So set my heart to burn

This Changes Everything
03:51

|
I'm standing in my kitchen.
I drop a glass it falls and breaks
I'm heating up my glue gun.
I'm leaving sticky marks of failed mistakes.
I know, I know what He did, He changed me
I'm sitting at my table.
I find a loaf of bread still there.
My hands were far too clumsy
I broke it yesterday it's all gone stale.
I know, I know what He did, He changed me
This changes everything. This changes everything.
This changes everything.
I stand before my mirror.
I see I've had a great big fall
The king's men could not fix me.
So I need taken to the King Himself.
Well, You can have my heart if you don't mind broken things.
Well, You can make me fly, even with these broken wings.
This changes everything. This changes everything.
This changes everything.
I know, I know what He did, He changed me...
This changes everything. This changes everything.
This changes everything.

Every morning when I’m looking outside,
I see the pain of a new day.
Those who claim to be my brother’s in Christ,
Close their eyes and turn away.
I’d expect for this world not to care.
They seek their own philosophy.
We are here to turn our world upside down,
Not to turn our head so we can flee.
Change your world…
Holy men who tell to the poor to filled,
Yet drive their new Mercedes Benz
Those who claim to be a people of love,
Hate gays with AIDS who need a friend.
Christian faith can be a joke in this world.
We’ve brought this all upon ourselves
Who could care about a people of love,
Who consign this whole world to hell.
Change your world…
Weapons fashioned out of hatred fear,
Push away those with great need.
Take a hand, you’ve got to show this world love.
Don’t break another wounded reed.
Help of helpless is our Lord, Jesus Christ,
And you’re His finest work of art.
You can’t deny someone what you have received…
…the touch of a loving God.
Change your world…
Alone in the Dark (Hidden Track)
Kissing alone in the dark.
Keeping you near to my heart.
Missing you now that you are gone.
I’m alone.
Days and years passed us by,
and I wonder where we’d have been.
I keep that all inside just to show that I’m a man
But now ev’ry time I reach out I’m alone.
I’m alone.
Kissing alone in the dark.
Keeping you near to my heart.
Missing you now that you are gone.
I’m alone.
There you slept by my side.
I had nothing in me to say.
When I reached out my hand,
Was it fear that pulled it away?
But now ev’ry time I reach out I’m alone.
I’m alone.
Kissing alone in the dark.
Keeping you near to my heart.
Missing you now that you are gone.
I’m alone.
