SCHALIACH

1. THE LAST CREED

Like dust in the wind
A man's heart goes unseen
His labors forgotten at the threshold of time
The grass withers, the flowers fades
But the word of his testimony stands forever
The man's honor was his love
Faithfulness - his pledge
But his memory - a pearl to the swine

One man walked tall
Faced the devil with his back against the wall
To the ground, the blood ran off his fingers
Scorched from fire in his bones
Yet today, his last thought lingers
Around his neck, against his heart
He wore a silver cross
- He knew what freedom cost

His voice only an echo in the wind
Freed those golden shackles
A child of time no more
A mirror of the crimson thorn
That the man of sorrow wore
He gave unselfishly
"Loved not his life so much
As to shrink from death"
The devil stole his life, love
But not the hope of his soul

If he'd only died in her arms
His dream would have been complete
Yet can such love dwell in a man
If God is his witness, I know it can
Would you plant the seed
Of that martyr's last creed
Proclaim God's gospel
Raise your head, heed his hope

Did You stand by the week
Whom the angels serve
Will you dare to hold
A martyrs hand
And guide the unseen host
Who with him stand
Will you share that vision at death's door
Stand proud by his side
To serve the Lord


2. YOU MAINTAIN

You maintain that I am dead
You neglect the words I said
You maintain there's no Divinity
You have chosen an ideology
That has left you blind

You maintain there is no evidence
To prove that I'm behind your existence
You maintain there is no truth in Me
You avoid the possibility
That I gave you life

You cannot see that

I sustain everything
I am the origin
I am the author of life
I'm your creator

Surely you think you know what's best
But your mind just won't give you rest
Your heart is filled with hopelessness
By reason of your emptiness
You're in need of love

You must believe that

I sustain everything
I am the origin
I am the author of life
I'm your creator

Blinded by pride
You shut Me outside
You could be free
If you would just listen to Me

Your void can be filled with My love
A love I proved through Jesus Christ My Son
He died so that you could be set free
And understand what life is meant to be
Truth can be revealed

Then you'll see that

I sustain everything
I am the origin
I am the author of life
I'm your creator


3. COMING OF THE DAWN

(Instrumental)
The coming of the dawn is near.
The Master will return...


GROMS

4. ASCENSION

I am the lord. I am calling you.
Death isn't finished, rise from your sleep!

Judgement day has come!
You will be delivered,
if your name is written in the book of life.


5. TRUE WISDOM

What ever exsists, has already been named
The more the words, the less the meaning
And how does it gain any one?

All this is tested by wisdom and said:
"I am determined to be wise!"
But wisdom was beyond me
Whatever wisdom may be
To deep for us, to hard to understand

No one controls the wind
No one choose their day of death
In time of war no one escape
Evil will not save the wicked

Who is like the wise man?
He who knows what wisdom is
To love and fear God
The Author and Creator


6. NO ONE

No one's eye has seen, no one's ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared
for those who love him.
But God has revealed it to us by his spirit

Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven.
Blessed are they Whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against Him!

Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand.
God of Peace will soon crush satan under your feet.
The Grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.

Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven.
Blessed are they Whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against Him!


ANTESTOR

7. MERCY LORD

Be gracious to me o God
In Thy true love
In the fullness of Thy mercy
Blot out my misdeeds

Create in me a pure heart o God
Give me a new and steadfast spirit
Do not drive me from Thy presence
Or take Thy Holy Spirit from me

Against Thee I have sinned
And done what displeases Thee
Thou hast hidden the truth in darkness
Through this mystery Thou teach me

Create in me a pure heart o God
Give me a new and steadfast spirit
Do not drive me from Thy presence
Or take Thy Holy Spirit from me


8. THOUGHTS

Living inside restless and wild
Using your mind just like you’re blind

Imagination hallucination
Distortion of the soul
Leaving you out cold

Nowhere to run there’s no more fun
See no solution to your confusion

Don’t stay too long
You’ll never know what’s wrong
Open up wide let God inside


9. INMOST FEAR

Never to feel nothing too real
The place of doom this empty room
Look inside the brain
The unconscious chain

All the time awaiting
Creatures my soul are taking
Who can break these chains
Only death remains

The inmost fear it’s all so near
The evil within stored by sin
The dark side forsaken
Ready to be awakened

In my darkest hour
I can feel the power
Running through my vein
Driving me insane
Where am I to go
Still inside my soul

Reaching out from within
Who can forgive my sin

If I could reach the door
All this pain no more

No more...


EXTOL

10. VICIOUS INTENT

Delightfully receiving the evil praise
He has blackened their eyes for them only
To see his pathetic and wicked ways
His only purpose is destruction and death

Vicious intent

Extreme hatred towards the serpent
He is sly and polluting the young minds
Laughing when he sees confusion and fear

Vicious intent

Suffering in bondage
Dying Spirit
But still denying the bloodshed that was made to mankind

Break the deal
You have made with evil
Crush the chains that will bind you eternally
Impossible by your own strength
The Love from God will set you free

Vicious Intent


11. CHRISTIANITY MISUNDERSTOOD

Christianity misunderstood
God misunderstood

Religious Christianity
Is what you condemn
So don't blame God
For this miserable world

Christianity misunderstood
God misunderstood

Religion, rules
Unachievable goals
Religion a theory
Have you met God

Christianity misunderstood
God misunderstood

God is Love
God is the Truth


12. SEEK THE RIGHTEOUS

Emptiness fills my soul
Hunger for a love I don't even know exists
Searching not finding
What is the purpose of this meaningless life

Thank you Lord for saving me
In all eternity I will be free
I humbly with reverence seek Your name
To give honor and glory to You who reign

By God we were made
To live in fellowship with Him
To sacrifice flesh
For the peace of God's presence
Seek his name with an honest heart
And confess with your mouth
That Jesus Christ is Lord

Thank you Lord for saving me
In all eternity I will be free
I humbly with reverence seek Your name
To give honor and glory to You who reign

Jesus hung on the tree
God freed us from Satan
Through the resurrection
Because of our faith in God
We have His righteousness
So that we can know Christ

Jesus is God

Thank you Lord for saving me
In all eternity I will be free
I humbly with reverence seek Your name
To give honor and glory to You who reign
