Who Do You Love?

WHO DO YOU LOVE?
No man can serve two masters
No woman walk both ways at the same time
We all make these decisions every day
By everything we do and say
So many shiny baubles
So many things that sparkle in the light
So many ways to sell your soul
God or money, the shadow or the light
Shall I be humble, or satisfy my pride?
All these people crying Lord, Lord
I hear them say it all the time
“Look at all the things we’ve done for you’
He says, “yeah, but you’re no friend of mine”
Who do you love, can you tell?
You can’t love Jesus and the devil as well.

Blanket

BLANKET
What are you looking for
This dark and lonely night?
What are you looking for
With nothing but hope to give you light?
While all the foolish world
Closes eyes and falls asleep
I know what you’re looking for
It’s the same thing as me
Yes it can get so cold
With only the blanket of your fears
And when the world gets too tough
You draw it close about you to hide your tears
Oh the cruel world
Strips you bare for all to see
And I know you feel afraid
But don’t be afraid of me
So you want to run away
And just be someone else
But there’s nowhere to run away to
You just keep on meeting up with yourself
But there’s another world
Where we can be who we can be
I know how to get there
And you can come with me
There’s another world
Where we will see what we will see
And you won’t need that blanket.

Man Of Peace

MAN OF PEACE
I call on the lord in my distress
I call on the lord in my distress
I call on the lord in my distress
And he answers me
Save Me from lying lips
Save me from deceitful tongues
Save me
Oh what will he do to you
And what more besides
O deceitful tongue?
Like warriors' sharp arrows
Like coals from the fire
O deceitful tongue
Woe that I dwell in this land
Woe that I'm caught in this place
Too long have I lived among men
Who hate peace
You only have to look at the movies we watch
Hear the news on the radio
The video games that we play
To know how much we hate peace.
I am a peaceful man
I try to be a peaceful man
But when I speak
They are for war.
I call on the lord in my distress
And he answers me
He says "I am a man of peace
I am a man of peace".

Lost Sheep

LOST SHEEP
I am that lost sheep
out on the hillside
It’s dark and it’s cold
I don’t know which way is right
I call your name
A prodigal son
out on the fast track
I’m out of control
and I don’t know how to turn back
I call your name
Far out at sea
the waves rise around me
I’m so afraid
the world is going to drown me
My life is going to drown me
Don’t let the waves surround me
I call your name
I praise you Lord
for all you have done for me.

Lazarus
03:16
|

Lazarus
I am the resurrection
and I am the life
If you believe in me
you will never die
I am the resurrection and I
roll away your stone
Jesus wept, jesus wept
come and see how Jesus wept
see how he loved him, how Jesus wept
when they rolled away the stone
And he cried, “come out Lazarus!“
Now we’ve rolled away your stone
Let him loose, let him go
Take off those grave clothes
and let them go
Let him loose, let him go
Now we’ve rolled away his stone.
And we cry, “Come out Lazarus!
Come out Lazarus!“
Now we’ve rolled away his stone.

JUST AS I AM
Jesus I come to you
just as I am
Jesus I bow my head
now I understand
you are my Lord, you are my God
Jesus I give to you
my earthly throne
it was yours in the first place
so come and take back your own
you are my Lord, you are my God
Jesus I offer you
the days of my life
I’ve nothing else to give
so do with them as you like
you are my Lord, you are my God.

One Of You

ONE OF YOU
One of you will betray me tonight
One of you will betray me tonight
Is this how it all ends?
I thought that we were friends now
But one of you will betray me tonight
You and I, we drink from the same cup
You and I, we fill the measure up
It doesn’t have to be
You could walk away from me now
But you and I, we drink from the same cup
Through it all you know that I love you
And I know that you’ve loved me too
So do what you will do
You know I did my best for you now
And through it all you know I still love you
One of you…

YOU DESERVE
I give my body, a living sacrifice to you Lord
I give my body, a living sacrifice to you Lord
This is the worship, this is the worship that you deserve
This is the worship, this is the worship that you deserve
We are your children by water and by spirit and in truth
We are your children by water and by spirit and in truth
This is the worship, this is the worship that you deserve
This is the worship, this is the worship that you deserve
So not what I want, but only what you want o Lord
So not what I want, but only what you want o Lord
This is the worship, this is the worship that you deserve
This is the worship, this is the worship that you deserve.

The Net

THE NET
Put the net out on the other side
See what you get
I know you’ve been out trying all night long
With really not too much to show
But sometimes we just have to go again
Take it from somebody who knows
You put new wine into new bottles
But old wine tastes better, so they say
Both are good, both are nice
One adds sweetness and the other spice
Both are rich, both are true
A little bit of either could be good for you
Yes we all have wounds, yes we al have scars
They’re there to teach us who we really are
Yes we all have regrets, and yes we all feel pain
That’s the reason we should try again
There’s something out there for you
it’s better than you knew.

THANK YOU
Lord I thank you for saving me
Lord I thank you for saving me
You suffered in my place
My life is filled with grace
Lord I thank you for saving me.
Lord I thank you for healing me
Lord I thank you for healing me
You take away my pain
Now I can live again
Lord I thank you for healing me.
Lord I thank you for loving me
Lord I thank you for loving me
My eyes are open wide
And I am satisfied
Lord I thank you for loving me.
