1. LIFTING THE WEAK

Why seek out the truth in a world of lies
To unmask right in wrongs disguise
To be sincere in the crowds that fall
And not to be satisfied with less than your all
Lifting of the weak starts inside your compromise
Choose your side or stand aside
Your pride can be your best friend or your enemy
It can tear from side to side to mediocrity
Faith in what can be accomplished with your life
Decide to choose a higher standard for your fight
Your life sets the stage be strong in your beliefs
And lend a helping hand to life the weak to stand


2. PRIDE BEFORE A FALL

This idol you bow to on your knees
Give the glory to a world philosophy
Deny the price your God paid
Put the power of God in a cage
I sense your need to justify your choice
I hear the discontentment in your voice
God sees you put his word up on your shelf
To use the answers of this world to offer help
Betrayed for pride
Your pride before a fall
You betrayed him for pride
To caught up in labels you use to hide
You betrayed him for pride
Too caught up in labels you use to hide
You betrayed him for pride
Too proud to lose labels from your life


3. I RISE ABOVE

I rise above the futile words
Of enimes attemps to alter to my cause
I rise above
I rise above the actions
Of demons attempts to destroy my spirit
I rise above
No force could change the way I feel
No wind could kill my flame
Your worlds will only build my spirit
Till death will I stand in Jesus' name
I will not think this over twice
I have the power of the true risen Christ
And I will not fear the face of death
For I know that my enemies shall not triumph over (me).


4. THE LIFE OF DEATH

Memories are all that's left of the way you were
You're free to change
And reach out from this world for life
Empty you will find
This world to be an deverything
You will try
To fill the void of your life only to find
You've died search to find...
You've died in the end...
You've died no more peace...
You've died for God so loved the world
He gave his only begotten son
That whosoever believes in him
They shall not die
But have eternal life
It's not too late
I see the best in you forever my friend
I will be true


5. THORNS COMPOSE

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the prince of glory died my richest gain
I count but loss
And poor contempt on all my pride forbid it Lord
That I should coast save in the death of Christ my God
All the vain things that charm me most
I sacrifice them
To his blood
See from his head his hands his feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e're such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose to rich a crown?
Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were a present far too small
Love so amazing
So divine
Demands my life
My soul
My all
When I survey
The wondrous cross on which my savior died for me
When I survey I'm willing to give up my life for thee
