Lyrics

1. REDEMPTION

All I’ve lost, all I mourn,
All that’s taken, my heart is torn
All the shame, all regret,
All that’s forgiven, I can’t forget
This time, this place,
This trial, I can’t get past it
This fight, this lie,
This failure, I’m dying

You’re bound by the lies of the evil one
There’s freedom in the blood of God’s own Son
Just give it all to the one who cares
There’s nothing in this world we all don’t share
Redemption – for sin
Redemption – what’s left?

This life, these days,
These tears, I’m broken
This hope, this chance,
These goals, my lost dreams
One heart, one pride,
One faith, break these chains
One son, one death,
One truth, my victory


2. BECAUSE OF YOU

I was lost, I was blind
I was alive to the world but dead
I was tainted, deserved to die
But You, You gave Your life instead

It’s all You, because of You I’m alive
It’s all You, because of You I’ve been saved
Because of You I’m alive, forever following You
Yeah!
My eyes were clouded, my tongue was filthy
My mind was writhing in lust for flesh
You saw my defiance, Your heart was broken
Still came and spilled Your blood now I’m blessed

Catch me when I stumble, never let me fall
Gracious Lord in heaven, hear me when I call
You’ve got to pray to your Lord, to your God
You’ve got to lay your life down pick up your cross
Because You died we are saved we’re not lost
Look down inside see the spirit see the ghost

You’ll never turn Your back on me
You’ll never forsake me


3. SOUL WINNERS & GRAVE DIGGERS

What you been doing with your life brother?
Are you just keeping your blind eye open?
What you been doing with your life sister?
Are you producing fruit of the spirit?

Does your action reflect your faith?
In your weakness Christ gives you strength
Are you faithful despite your pain?
To live is Christ, to die is gain

What you been doing for the kingdom brother?
Have you been out soul winning?
What you been doing for the kingdom sister?
Have you been out grave digging?

Soul winners and grave diggers
Make up the world we know
Soul winners and grave diggers
Reaping the seeds that you sow

Brothers and sisters, we are called to be harvesters of souls.
We need to plant the seeds of salvation.
Yes, we need to be seedy not greedy, living a righteous
And holy life and sharing the gospel with others.
We are called to share the good news


4. NEEDY

Don’t you need to be fed – whether spiritually or internally?
Don’t you need to be wanted – whether physically or emotionally?
Don’t you need?
Don’t you need?
Don’t you need? Don’t you need? Don’t you need?

When you learn the grace of God you’ll be all right
Put all your trust in Him, faith without sight
I am the one you called let your light shine through me
Despite your love for me I am but a man I get needy

I don’t need someone to hold my hand everywhere I go
I just need someone to trust
And I don’t need someone to follow me around like a puppy dog
I just need someone to love – oh, won’t you love me?

Now I don’t need all the money or the fame of a celebrity
I just need a little respect
And I don’t need to show discontent with my apathy
I just need some help from above – oh, won’t you help me?

I feel needy!
We all are needy!
Oh I see a lot of needy people, oh yeah
I feel needy!
We all are needy!
We all are needy, we’re a needy people!(3x)
We all are needy!
We’re a needy people!


5. GNASHING OF TEETH

Thrown into the darkness
Weeping, burning, eternally
Those who have ears let them hear
You know the world has perverted the truth
That Jesus died for our sins
Distorting and deceiving the youth
The end will bring lamentations

The righteous will shine like the sun
In the kingdom of their Father
Those who are first will be last
Seething, loathing, weeping, burning, gnashing
Hypocrites, worthless servants

Gnashing, gnashing, gnashing
Gnashing of teeth

Those who believe and who call
On His name shall be saved

Gnashing, gnashing, gnashing
Gnashing of teeth
Cast down, cast off, cast away


6. SECULAR CIRCUS

Ladies and Gentlemen, step right up to the spectacle of… the Secular Circus
Sex and violence on the TV
Selling all your drugs in the street
Feels good then it must be right
You’re lost running from the light

Living, evil, world, living (evil)
In this Secular Circus

No one tells you what to do
You’re your own person, or a fool
Never caring who hurts along the way
Self-centered living for today

We’ve got to change the way we take more than we give
God gave us rules for a better way to live
Since the world was cursed with sin
Since Satan lingers within

Living, evil, world, living (evil)
In this Secular Circus


7. LIES

When you come before the throne
Fall on your knees and beg for mercy
It’s too late you’ve sealed your fate
By wasting life and living the lie

Lies – make you doubt

Now choose your path, avoid God’s wrath
Resist evil and he flees
Call on the name of Christ the Lord
Be lifted past the powers of the air

Lies – make you doubt

The father of all lies, deceiver of the nations
Wants you to despise the Holy One, the Holy One
Confusion – lies
Deception – lies
Division – lies
Lies

You say to trust you
Lies - make you doubt

Now choose your path, avoid God’s wrath
Resist evil and he flees


8. THE DAY IS NIGHT

Is there a way that I can’t see?
Is there a message I can’t read?
Are there words that I can’t hear?
Is life just about misery and fear?
The Lord is coming back someday
Nowhere to run but you can be saved
When the Revelation comes to pass
Look to the sky hear the trumpet blast
It is no lie!
The day is nigh!
Before that day every soul shall hear
Even demons believe and tremble with fear
I hope you and Jesus have it all worked out
Accept Him as your Savior and have no doubt
It is no lie!
The day is nigh!

I hope you and Jesus have it all worked out
