1. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES

Things are so confused today, time we got back to simple ways
The basic Bible truth that we can all depend upon
Christ came to Earth and died for us, a sacrifice for sin
He rose again and we are saved, His truth will set us free

Let's get back to basic beliefs
That Christ died for all our sin
Infighting will not save souls
The blood of Christ is all that counts

Fundamental principles, things we all agree on
Fundamental principles, win their souls with truth

It's easy to be lead astray and find cause to doubt our faith
But God is there for all of us who seek his grace
The number one thing is that we represent him well
And do the work our Lord has called us to

Let's get back to basic beliefs
That Christ died for all our sin
Infighting will not save souls
The blood of Christ is all that counts

Fundamental principles, things we all agree on
Fundamental principles, win their souls with truth

Many in the church today have got tied down in debate
Arguments on Facebook erupt everyday
We must unite behind the precious blood of Christ
And put our many differences aside

Let's get back to basic beliefs
That Christ died for all our sin
Infighting will not save souls
The blood of Christ is all that counts

Fundamental principles, things we all agree on
Fundamental principles, win their souls with truth

Fundamental principles, things we all agree on
Fundamental principles, win their souls with truth


2. WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG

Would a rainbow look as beautiful
If it was made of one colour
People are hating each other
When we don't all the look the same

Unable to share
Only to conquer

Why can't we all just get along
Build a world that is strong
Why can't we forget how to hate
And learn to love instead
Why does the world have to suffer
And why doesn't God intervene
Is it up to us to solve this mess
Or can someone show us the way

Nature only kills to survive
Unlike us we kill to gain
Universe in perfect harmony
Can't say the same about mankind

Unable to share
Only to conquer

Why can't we all just get along
Build a world that is strong
Why can't we forget how to hate
And learn to love instead
Why does the world have to suffer
And why doesn't God intervene
Is it up to us to solve this mess
Or can someone show us the way

Unable to share
Only to conquer

Why can't we all just get along
Build a world that is strong
Why can't we forget how to hate
And learn to love instead
Why does the world have to suffer
And why doesn't God intervene
Is it up to us to solve this mess
Or can someone show us the way

Why can't we all just get along
Build a world that is strong
Why can't we forget how to hate
And learn to love instead
Why does the world have to suffer
And why doesn't God intervene
Is it up to us to solve this mess
Or can someone show us the way


3. FALLEN FROM GRACE

You don't wanna see through my eyes, I see things so differently
Have I been deceived or don't you want to question what you believe
You don't want to leave your comfort zone and take a leap into the unknown
Are you scared of what your friends might say or afraid that you will burn in hell

Fallen from grace if you don't believe as you're told
Fallen from grace if you don't believe as you're told

Using a little common sense
Isn't like I've lost my faith
Thinking with my own brain
Doesn't mean I've fallen from grace

Your take is the only truth you see and believe as you are told
I cannot agree with you for it is religious control
You try so hard to prove things that have been proven wrong
You contradict yourself over and over again

Fallen from grace if you don't believe as you're told
Fallen from grace if you don't believe as you're told

Using a little common sense
Isn't like I've lost my faith
Thinking with my own brain
Doesn't mean I've fallen from grace


4. COME TO ME

Come to me all you who are weary and burdened
I'm the Lord and I'm here for you
Come to me all you who are stressed out and worried
I'll be there for you until the end of time

Do you know, do you know, do you really know who I am
Do you know, do you know, do you really know who I am

The fool says in his heart there is no God
They are corrupt, their deeds are vile, there is no one who does good

Come to me all you who are hurting and anguished
I feel your pain, I took it on the cross
Come to me all you who are saddened and grieving
I cried out loud at Calvary, I know how you feel

Do you know, do you know, do you really know who I am
Do you know, do you know, do you really know who I am

Hear me, my righteous plea, listen to my cry
Give ear to my prayer, it does not rise from deceitful lips

Come to me all you who are confused and anxious
My loving arms are here to embrace
Come to me all you who are needy and desperate
You are the apple of my eye, please come to me


5. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TOMORROW BRINGS

The end soon will come
God's will be done
Life will go on
The world will be gone

All will pass away
Forever his words will stand
Things that we gather
Soon won't matter

Going nowhere, living fast
Don't care about anyone
Or anything except yourself
Taking more than you can give
Gain the world and lose your soul
Held back by worries of life

I don't know what tomorrow brings
Just take one day at a time
Run the race as to win
Eternal treasure, love within

I don't know what tomorrow brings
Just take one day at a time
Run the race as to win
Eternal treasure, love within

Into this world
You came with nothing at all
Nothing will you take
When you are gone
Life is worth more
Than wood, steel or gold
A gift money cannot buy
So don't waste your time


6. BEGGAR OF MERCY

Grace and mercy from his throne
The best place is on your knees
Begging mercy for your sin
The price was paid on Calvary

The proud will take a fall
A humble spirit is lifted high
Gift of love for you and me
A ransom for all humanity

Beggar of mercy, get on your knees
Forgiveness of sin, that's what I need
Washed in blood, I am redeemed
Beggar of mercy, get on your knees

Speak in tongues and prophesy
Know your bible inside out
Clap your hands and jump around
Don't have love it's all in vain

For God loved the world so
That he gave his only son
So whoever believes in him
Will have life in eternity

Beggar of mercy, get on your knees
Forgiveness of sin, that's what I need
Washed in blood, I am redeemed
Beggar of mercy, get on your knees

Grace and mercy from his throne
Gift of love for you and me
He gave us his only son
The truth that sets us free

Grace and mercy from his throne
Gift of love for you and me
He gave us his only son
The truth that sets us free

Beggar of mercy, get on your knees
Forgiveness of sin, that's what I need
Washed in blood, I am redeemed
Beggar of mercy, get on your knees


7. ELECTRICAL INTERFERENCE

Thunder echoes across the sky
The ground shakes, buildings crumble
Like the stars falling down
Darkened air on the Earth
Blood red is the moon

The time has come to mourn for those
Who are gone, there is sorrow
As bodies lay scattered across the field
Silence in heaven for a moment
As the wind blows no more

Electrical interference, radiation, nuclear weapons
Mankind is doomed when he declares war on himself
Meteors, asteroid fields, gamma rays and solar bursts
We rethink our existence when a greater power interferes
Wrath of God or our demise, electric storm from the sky
You cannot run or hide, it will take you by surprise

We had lots, we gave little
Now we have nothing, we give it all
As we rebuild our fallen world
Glimmer of hope as the dust
Settles down on the ground


8. WHO ARE YOU

Banks raise their fees and their interest rates
The rich get richer and the poor get poorer
The blade has been sharpened for the slaughter day
Governments fund their plans for war
You will pay as they convince you
With their lies and their false promises

Who are you, does money define you
Where money is spent determines who you are
Who are you

Money comes from God or the devil himself
Necessary or unnecessary if you will
It doesn't matter what your opinion is
Where the money has been spent
Shows who you really are
Greedy, selfish, genuine or kind

Who are you, does money define you
Where money is spent determines who you are
Who are you

We want every piece of technology
Too much to carry through this life
As we forget what really matters
A drug addict shoots it up just to feel shattered
Meanwhile their families have been scattered
Learn before all the money has been spattered

Who are you, does money define you
Where money is spent determines who you are
Who are you


9. RELIGION WASN'T THE ONE

Religion is to blame just to prove your point
Glazing through the shadow of religions past mistakes
Things that happened long ago still so fresh like an open wound
You make every effort to fault those who believe

Open your eyes and realize that you have a narrow mind
You can't accuse and blame religion all the time
You say science shows the facts that prove you wrong
Religion wasn't the one that built the atom bomb

It's the same old religion science debate
I won't even bother cause I see you hesitate
Hiding behind your arrogance, claiming to have all the facts
If you know the truth why show so much hate

Crusaders, holy wars and the pedophile priests
More children are abused in people's homes
You like to rub it in when it happens in the church
It's not a religious condition but human aggression

Open your eyes and realize that you have a narrow mind
You can't accuse and blame religion all the time
You say science shows the facts that prove you wrong
Religion wasn't the one that built the atom bomb

It's the same old religion science debate
I won't even bother cause I see you hesitate
Hiding behind your arrogance, claiming to have all the facts
If you know the truth why show so much hate


10. LIFE IS MORE THAN IT SEEMS

Fantasy and fairy tales
Sex and violence on TV
Idols, superstars
And legends from afar
Entertainment for your soul
Video games and a six foot screen
Hard to focus and know what's real
Head full of stuff that doesn't belong

Life is more than it seems
Life doesn't come from worldly things
Reality is found, real life is restored
When we learn to seek God's will

Staring at the screen wasting time, life won't wait
Electricity running through distracting you and me
Taking away from what is real, forgetting what's important
I forgot to read my Bible today

Propaganda is sold
When the news gets old
Facebook and the internet phase
Relationships suffer
In this digital age
When it's all we know
Hard to focus and know what's real
Head full of stuff that doesn't belong

Life is more than it seems
Life doesn't come from worldly things
Reality is found, real life is restored
When we learn to seek God's will

Staring at the screen wasting time, life won't wait
Electricity running through distracting you and me
Taking away from what is real, forgetting what's important
I forgot to read my Bible today

Life is more than it seems
Life doesn't come from worldly things
Reality is found, real life is restored
When we learn to seek God's will

Staring at the screen wasting time, life won't wait
Electricity running through distracting you and me
Taking away from what is real, forgetting what's important
I forgot to read my Bible today

Staring at the screen wasting time, life won't wait
Electricity running through distracting you and me
Taking away from what is real, forgetting what's important
I forgot to read my Bible today


11. LEAD ME TO THE RIVER

My flesh has been wounded, I can't keep up the pace
The world has much to offer but nothing seems to satisfy
Expectations high as a mountain
I don't have the strength to carry on

Lead me to the river that keeps me alive
Where the grass is greener and the waters are still
A place where my soul can rest for a while
Make me feel again, wiping tears from my eyes

Oh Lord create a new spirit in me
A loyal and a faithful spirit within me
Letting go of what lies in the past
I'm ready now for you to lead the way for me

There is plenty to choose from to numb my head
But in the end it's just another dead end
My life is empty, I can't find my place
There has been times when I have lost my way

Lead me to the river that keeps me alive
Where the grass is greener and the waters are still
A place where my soul can rest for a while
Make me feel again, wiping tears from my eyes

Oh Lord create a new spirit in me
A loyal and a faithful spirit within me
Letting go of what lies in the past
I'm ready now for you to lead the way for me

Lead me to the river that keeps me alive
Where the grass is greener and the waters are still
A place where my soul can rest for a while
Make me feel again, wiping tears from my eyes

Oh Lord create a new spirit in me
A loyal and a faithful spirit within me
Letting go of what lies in the past
I'm ready now for you to lead the way for me


12. ROCK FOR THE ROCK

It was from a rock that Moses drew water to drink from
Through the rocky desert he lead the people of Israel
It was with a rock that David killed Goliath, that giant
With a bit of faith even rocky mountains move from their place

Rock for the rock, rock your fist and praise his name
Build your house on the rock so a flood won't flush it away
Rock for the rock, stay humble and true to yourself
For none of us are without sin to cast that first stone

Jesus is the cornerstone that the builders rejected and threw away
Is he your stumbling block or the rock you lean on
Angels came and rolled away a large rock from his grave
He is the rock of salvation for those who believe his name

Rock for the rock, rock your fist and praise his name
Build your house on the rock so a flood won't flush it away
Rock for the rock, stay humble and true to yourself
For none of us are without sin to cast that first stone

Rock for the rock
Rock for the rock
Rock for the rock
Let it rock

Rock for the rock
Rock for the rock
Rock for the rock
Let it roll

Rock for the rock
Rock for the rock
Rock for the rock
Let it rock

Rock for the rock
Rock for the rock
Rock for the rock
Let it roll

Rock for the rock, rock your fist and praise his name
Build your house on the rock so a flood won't flush it away
Rock for the rock, stay humble and true to yourself
For none of us are without sin to cast that first stone

Rock for the rock, rock your fist and praise his name
Build your house on the rock, is your foundation on solid ground
Rock for the rock, stay humble and true to yourself
For he died for us on that rock called the skull
