1. ROCK

I saw a mighty angel
Clothed with a cloud
He had a rainbow round his head
And he shined as the sun
With a book in his hand
And his feet like fire
He had one foot on the sea
And the other over land

I heard a voice like thunder - fill the air
With his hand raised to heaven I heard him swear
By the one who lives forever like a lions roar
The time has come for time no more

I see the one they call the son he's knockin at your door now
You're layin low like no one's home - you better answer
I know the one they call the son is commin back for sure now
I'm gonna go I wanna know where will you be

I don't know how you make it
From day to day can't take it
My faith keeps me won't shake it
My God lives we don't fake it
ROCK


2. FORM OF MAN

You don't like what you think I said - if it hits you hard
I've gotta say it again
You're too fat for the narrow way - if you play the part
You've got hell to pay (and you will)
T/A
Some say you're too far gone - no chance for change
You've been a sinner for so long, and you don't know why
You're life could be made new if you'd just believe
He did it all for you

We talk about things you don't understand, Jesus is God in the form of man
And he left it all when he came to get you back
Feelin so alone like it's too late there's no better time to turn
Your fate - realize it's time to rise above the hate


Rabbi tell us what must we do to inherit this kingdom of which you speak
Verily I say unto you except a man be born again he cannot see the kingdom of God
Can a man enter his mother's womb a second time to be born? How can this be
Tell us master - we don't understand


3. YOU’RE WRONG

Got this feelin that it won't be long God's comin back and
He's comin strong
He's gonna take what's right and cast away what's wrong
Better wake up better realize who's speakin truth who's tellin lies
Comes down to who confesses who denies
You better know what you believe

I see what's goin on you push your issues all day long
Twist about the laws of liberty
Confident your ways are right openly despise the light
Solid in your slight insanity
You claim to know what's best you say everybody step now to the left
I believe i'll go with God

I know what you're about I give God praise you're goin out
Little known for your integrity
The pages of our history echo your obscenities the image of what most have come to be

I think it's time you knew we don't need many just takes a few
Who will stand and say it loud

You're wrong... God is right
Just in case there's any doubt
This is what your life's about

There are ways that seem right to man, but the end is only destruction
Foolish things confound the wise - open your eyes


4. BIG EXPECTATIONS

I've got some real big expectations
I wanna be the best a little better than the rest
Now I'm rollin I don't need complications
I'm lookin for success aint got time for nothin less
This I know

I must be trippin these things slippin out my mouth
Lord I know they're not your word
Words of doubt and unbelief have I somehow been deceived
Falling victim to the lies I know we all have heard

I step back clear my head I can't do much when I'm seein red
You know I've got to have a clear view
Holdin on to what I know when it's tough you don't let go
Lord I put my trust in you alone

Time after time I keep runnin into walls it's like I'm down on my luck again
My ambition's gone astray it's like my dreams slip away
And my failures become my end

I have tasted and have seen oh the Lord is good
I count my many blessings I think everybody should
In this world you will have sorrows aint no way to get around
My Lord overcame this world and it will never keep me down
This I know


5. I BELIEVE

I believe in the father the son and the holy ghost
They're the three that I love the most
The father gives life the son salvation
Holy ghost power keeps pushin me right on through

I'm a devil stompin bible thumpin sanctified son of God
I'm not ashamed that's who I am
I've been cussed at kicked out talked about all over town
I'm battle ready rollin steady kickin at the gates of hell
I'm not afraid I know who I am
Got my eyes on the prize and I'm not goin down

Jesus is comin the fat lady's hummin a song it's windin up
Time to move ahead
There's no time for slidin you best be decidin where you belong
As for me and my house we serve the Lord the days are so dark we can't
Afford to give any less than our best
For the kingdom

I believe in the father the son and the holy ghost they're the three that I
Love the most
The father gives life, the son salvation, holy ghost power keeps pushin me on through
I'm not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for I know it is power to them that
Believe open up your heart and receive the good news

They crucified our Lord and what they thought would end had only just begun
He cried forgive them their sin for they know not what they've done
The words he cried were not in vain the blood he shed it still remains and
Cries out loud before the father - forgive them


6. MY WAYS

If only I could take away the blinders from your eyes
How I long for you see past his subtle disguise

You don't know where you're gonna be
You can't see the light
You don't know the truth
I've tried to help you see but you slew the postman and crucified the proof
It was right before your eyes you didn't realize
Such is the price I've paid for you

Suddenly the time has come for my judgment to fall
I want that none should die I gave to save them all

My word stands through time
You can't compromise
You don't cross the line
I've tried countless times to save their lives and still you wonder why

My ways are not your ways
Lean not towards your understanding
Place it within my hands
My ways are not your ways
Could you give your life for a people so bent on their destruction

My ways are ways of mercy
My ways are ways of grace
I've brought you out of darkness
And set you in this place
My ways are ways of wisdom
My ways confuse the wise
I've freed you from his burning hell released you from his lies - know my ways

Go your way
Tell your brother
Of my ways
And no other


7. NAILS

In times past you were known as one of the wild ones
Had your fun maybe a little more than you should have had
As time past you have grown you're one of the wise ones
Faced your sins placed them down at the foot of the tree for the world to see
But they still remember

The old man whispers lies emotions are driven
He takes you back, tells you of all of the things that you could have had
Christ was crucified and you were forgiven
Don't go back there every time that you do
You're just driving the nails
You drive those nails

Nails drive just a little bit deeper every time you do like you did before
You can't live your life that way
Sin comes just a little bit cheaper every time you do what you did before
Don't you leave your life this way


8. FOCUSED DOWN

Lies and profanity
All I hear as I turn my ear
Your direction can it be capture me that my mind may be focused down
I won't be focused down

Constantly thoughts are pounding me ever contrary to the truth I see
I've been commissioned set in position to shine
They won't bring me down

Crime and brutality all I see never lets me be
My protection can't you see Christ in me may I never be focused down
I won't be focused down

This war rages on in my head
They won't give up till I'm dead or do as they say
Day after day minute by minute hour by hour they come
Trying to lead me away

Christ in me - I will never be focused down


9. ONE OF THE FEW

I looked and beheld, a door standing open in heaven
And the first voice that I heard like a trumpet speaking with me said, come
Up here and I will show what must take place, and immediately I was in the spirit

My God I looked up to see my lord Jesus lookin back at me
Wondered how this could ever be cause I don't know
Showed me things from a different time shook me up now I'm back in mine
Doin what I've gotta do to make it back
I gotta get back

Here comes the devil and he's dressed to kill
I say I won't he thinks I will
Tries my faith in so many ways
Hold on tight these are the days

When it's dark the light is easy to see
Better check yourself who you tryin to be

I've seen things from another view gave my praise with the chosen few
Now I've seen where I'm gonna be I wrote these things for the world to see

And it just gets darker a little more every day
Oh my God help me find my way to you

Take me... Take my life and shake me
Shake me up and make me what you need
I've just gotta be one of the few

Counted on that day everyone great and small
Called to give an account to answer for it all
I've gotta be counted with the few
Those who reign forevermore
With Jesus Christ our king
Forever we will sing

Worthy is the lamb the lamb that was slain
Glory and honor, power and praise unto you


10. ONCE AND FOR ALL

He came to this earth sent down from above
To demonstrate god's true love
To show us how to live

Born into sin and yet he never did
Came to man to bridge the gap
He took the stripes upon his back

When he did what he did it was all for me
He took the nails that set me free and I am
I am free
I never understood how it could be
Jesus died to rescue me and I am so glad

It took so long for my eyes to see
To answer the call
The chains of sin forever have been broken
Once and for all
