Lyrics


1. LIVING IN THE LAST DAYS

The day is late and the time has come
The saints await the holy one
When Jesus comes like a thief in the night
Your gonna be left if you don't get right
You may laugh at the things we do
I tell you the jokes on you
Check your life, change your ways
We're getting ready to go
When the saints fly away and this world
Comes apart you will know
Around the world the gospel goes
Just where it ends, nobody knows
You say you're not ready to live that way
Are you ready to lose your soul today
Choose this day whom you're gonna serve
Tomorrow is not guaranteed
This worlds going down but we won't be around
Don't you know these are the last days


2. REVELATION LAMENTATION

How deserted lies the city once so full of people
How like a widow is she, once loved among the nations
She was the queen among the empires of the world
Sold her rights for compromise
Now a slave she's been unfurled
Bitterly she weeps tears roll down her cheeks
Among all her lovers there's no one to comfort her
Revelation... lamentation
But you O Lord remain and will reign forever
Your throne endures from generation to generation
Turn us to Yourself O Lord and we will be restored
Renew our days as of old revive us a new nation
Bitterly we weep tears roll down our cheeks
Among all of our allies there's no one to comfort us
We turn to Your spirit if only to comfort us


3. LITTLE SAINT

I recall when I was just eight-teen
Nothing to do one night, so I went to church with a friend of mine
And that's when I saw the light
A power was there like I'd never known
Moved me right out of my seat, I could feel His blood washing
Over me the night I was made complete
I was born again, turned away from sin
No longer could I do the things I used to do
Then people started talking
Never making trouble, playing life straight
Always keeping under control
You're such a little saint
I knew I couldn't let them get to me
The things my friends would say
At times it seemed so much to take and too hard for me to stay
I held on, stayed in the world, stood tall down on my knees
Never forgetting the words I read of hope and security
And I learned all the while these firey trials
Are to test your faith can you endure when the rumors fly
Never making trouble, playing life straight
Always keeping under control
Got no time for running, heaven won't wait
Always on a mission from God you're such a little saint
It ain't easy being a light in a world of darkness
Day after day getting hit from every side and still we carry on
With hope in the name of love


4. FREEDOM

Freedom - what would you do for it
Would you lay down your life
You think that you could ever die for freedom
Sweet and true you can't forget the ones who've died for you
Long ago in a land across the seas
A war among the nations for the innocent were seized
Many men had fallen within the winds of war
So many lives were sacrificed to keep the open door
Millions live as prisoners day after day
Never understanding the nature of the chains
Which keep them ever bound up in fear and disbelief
Always searching, never finding the everlasting peace
Jesus was the sacrifice to set the captives free
The power of deliverance to all who will believe
He will break the chains that bind you
To all the world proclain, victory to the soldier
Who battles in his name
You've gotta hold on and you've gotta believe
If you wanna receive - Jesus


5. I WILL GIVE HIM PRAISE

Everybody in the house if you love the Lord
Lift your hands to heaven and give a shout of praise
Everybody in the house if you're of the kingdom
Lift your voice to God and give to him a sacrifice
Everybody in the house in the house everybody
Are you ready for a party tonight
We're lifting the banner of Christ before the nations
In a celebration of life, the life He gave us he died to save us
Now my soul is set free ain't no lying devil taking me to hell
'Cause I'm blood bought and I'm not for sale
Without fail time and time He's on my case in my face
With offers of compromise a strong force which seeming never dies
He's the father of all lies
But I don't buy it... I've been there... I've tried it
I've played the game had the fame and now I'm changed
And for the rest of my days in everything I'm giving the Lord Jesus praise
Everyday I thank the Lord for my life
He rescued me from darkness and I'm free
Everyday I find mercy from above and I lift my voice to testify
Great is the love for that life to me He gave
I will give him praise
It's messing with my mind I see it all the time
People talk one way then they walk another way
You better choose this day whom you're gonna serve
And make sure your actions line up with your words
If you say you're His and He is yours then close the doors
You can't tolerate sin
And don't freak looking at the place you're in
You got Jesus you got peace within
In the blink a flash the twinkle of an eye
The Lord of all soon He will crack the sky like a thief
To take those faithful and true in the rapture
And where will that leave you
Now every man's guilty of a life of sin - Jesus pad the price
For our entrance in so think about making him Lord today
While me and the boys
Take a moment to give God praise
We will praise You!


6. LIVE UPON THE ROCK

If you're tired, getting sick of sinful ways
You keep on trying but you've seen better days
You need somebody to help you stand your ground
A friend to guide you, to help when you feel down
I'll show you who I am
But listen carefully, and don't misunderstand
Don't you walk after me I am only a man
And I sometimes make mistakes, but I do the best I can
Keep your eyes on Jesus
He's the one to watch, do the things
Which he has shown you and live upon the rock
So many men have come and now they're gone
Only Jesus He lives today
I'm here to tell you he is the only way
There is no other name whereby man can be saved


7. RAPTURE DRILL

I heard about a place they call the upper room
And all who gather in believe that God is comming soon
So they come together often in one mind and one accord
To practice for the coming of the Lord
I believe it's true I know He's coming back for me
And when I heard about this place I had to go and see
You know I long to be with Jesus everyday I need him more
So I ran right down and I walked right through the door
I saw people everywhere jumping up and down
Shouting glory to the Lord
Much anticipation for what is yet to come
Sending out an invitation to the world
Rapture Drill
I don't belong, and when I'm gone, I'm moving on to better things
This old world can't keep me down - I'm going to meet my King
At the sweet sound of the trumpet I'll be there
Gone to meet my savior in the air
I'm living free... I'm living clean... I'm a lean mean prayer machine
Why does your head hang low with a teardrop in your eye
Lift your head look up for your redemption draweth nigh
Oh the rock of our salvation is alive and He is true
He said I go to make a place and I will come for you
But the time of My return is not for you to know
Do the work I gave you until it's time to go
Behold I will come quickly your reward is in My hand
And I will give accordingly to the work of every man
Behold I will come quickly
Are you ready for the coming of the Lord


8. SURRENDER

We're living in a day a time where nothing seems right
The forces of darkness challenge the light
These are the times that truly try our souls
We're living in a world of pain where heartache abounds
Death, destruction, and evil surrounds
Chipping away at our hearts taking its toll
Try as we may we can't escape reality
For the sorrows of this life are true
But the truth is not always what you see
Jesus Christ he is the truth eternally
Lives and died for you, in Him we find our victory
If only you would...
Surrender, give up the fight and win
You can run away if you want to run
But you cannot hide your sin
Surrender, the time for you has come
Give up the fight and win


9. REVELATION 5:9 (WORTHY)

You are worthy to take the scroll
Worthy to open the seals
For You were slain and by Your blood
To God man has now been redeemed
From every tribe, language, people, and nation
You have made them kings and priests unto God
To rule the earth forever
Worthy the lamb tha was slain
Power and riches, wisdom and strength unto You
The ransom is paid... honor and glory and praise
And unto Him upon the throne and to the lamb of God
Be praise, honor, glory and power forever and ever
And ever ... Amen!


10. HOLY MAN OF WAR

A musical depiction of the coming of the Lord and the great battle of armageddon,
in which the Antichrist gathers the armies of the world to make war agains the armies of heaven;
wherein our Lord Jesus Christ, by the sword of his word,
obtains victory over Satan forever.
Revelation 19:11-21
