1. TOWARDS A NEW DAWN

(Instrumental)


2. LIBERTY

I've lived my life by the rules
Never once broken the law
Always worked as hard as I should
If there's a god out there,
I'm sure he looks upon my life
And sees that it has been good

But if I die tonight,
Where would I find myself?
Would I be brought into light?
Or would I be cast down
Into the darkest of all pits
For all eternity?

I'm glad I'm not like other men:
Extortioners and adulterers
Unjust and like a thief
I always fast twice a week
Give tithes of all that I possess
Surely this must be enough

But if I die tonight...

A man once walked the earth
He said: "The way is not through your deeds,
The way is through me"
If you know Christ the Lord
You don't need to feel any fear
He brings us eternal liberty!


3. SUORA TIE

Avasit silmäni näkemään totuuden
Näin ne valheet, joita tämä maailma tarjoaa
Silti ne minua yhä uudelleen sokaisevat
Kunnes muistan, saan kääntää katseeni voittajaan

Vain sinä olet elämä
Kallio joka kestää
Rauhani ja voimani
Olet syntieni sovittaja
Sinua ylistän, sinulle antaudun
Tahdon elää sinulle, en enää itselleni

Sinä Jeesus olet suora tie,
Jota saan turvallisin mielin kulkea
Ympäriltä tulevia ääniä ei minun tarvitse kuunnella
Jatkan vain sinun voimassasi vapaaksi lunastettuna

Vain sinä olet elämä...

"Älä jätä elämääsi oman ymmärryksesi varaan,
vaan turvaa koko sydämestäsi Herraan.
Missä kuljetkin, pidä Hänet mielessäsi,
Hän viitoittaa sinulle oikean tien."
(Sananlaskut 3:5-6)

Vain sinä olet elämä
Kallio joka aina kestää...

The Straight Road


4. BROKEN CHAINS

I am free
Free from my fears and free from sin
Not because of me
But because of my Lord, through Him I will win
I am weak
But He is my strength and He gives me meaning
His will I seek
On His promises I will keep leaning

My life was restless,
I needed entertainment all the time
I didn't notice it but my spirit was dry inside
I believed in God but the joy of my life was lost
In vain I tried to keep control and fear was the cost

In His love God crushed me down and broke all my chains
He created new through all my pains

Now I'm free...

His work in me made me see and gave me a new freedom
The only thing I could do was let go of my own control
And leave it to Him

I left all control to Him

I praise Him with joy and sometimes with tears,
But I know He is always trustworthy and it melts my fears
No one takes me from Him because I am His own
If I reject Him He will wait for me to come back home

I don't always see it, but His ways are best for me
If I get lost, He will search and find me

I am free
Free from the fear and free from sin
Not because of me
But because of you Lord, with You I will win
I am weak
But You are my strength and You give me meaning
Your will I seek
On You I will always keep leaning


5. EI MUN TARVITSE

Vaikka vaeltaisin pimeässä laaksossa
Sielläkin sä oisit mua kantamassa
Vaikka vaeltaisin synkissä ajatuksissa
Niissäkin sä oisit mua auttamassa

Ei mun tarvitse pelätä mitään
Sillä tiedän että Herra on kanssani
Maailman alusta maailman loppuun
Hän on luvannut sen,
Että Hän ei hylkää koskaan

Vaikka syntieni määrä on loputon
Silti olet aina mua avosylin vastassa
Sä puhdistat mut verelläsi kalliilla,
Ja saan aloittaa taas täysin puhtaana

Ei mun tarvitse...

Hän on aina
Hän on aina
Uskollinen


6. GENESIS

I look at the world and wonder why it all exists
The complex of nature in all its perfection
And all of its grace

Was all of this made by just an explosion?
The human being with all its love and emotions
Is all the creation one big mistake?
A result of madness or of unknown fate?

The power to love, hate and to bring destruction
The mystery of growth, birth and of reproduction
When did it start? When will it be done?
Does all have a meaning and will I ever know?

I cry out to the emptiness
Reaching for my inner self
Looking for a glimpse of truth
All is silent, can't somebody help me?
I need to find peace of mind
Why should I only live and die
As just another worthless child?
I can't get rid of the thought in my mind
That says "why?"

Everyone's pushing their ready solution
Whether it's Buddha or just evolution
I can worship the living, I can worship the dead
But where will it lead me when I reach the end?

The world has no answers to all of my questions
Only cheap lies and pathetic suggestions
I have made a decision, I will trust no one else
And find the solution all by myself

I cry out to the emptiness...

Suddenly I felt a warmth in my heart
Someone has touched me and answered my call

I reach out to God above
Who showed me unconditional love
He is the creator of all
He heard my prayers and answered my call
I lift up Your name on high
For Your creation You have died
I now know who You made me to be
My heart is content, I have finally found my home


7. TAIVAASSA

Kerran tulee aika, jolloin me täältä lähdetään
Mitään emme voi ottaa mukaan,
mutta päättää voimme määränpään
On vaihtoehtoja kaksi, taivas tai helvetti
Kun Jeesukseen turvaat,
pelastut ja saat iloita aina

Taivaassa, siellä ei oo tuskaa, ei murhetta
Taivaassa saa olla aina Jumalan lähellä
Taivaassa, siellä on riemu loputon
Sitä ihanuutta ei ihmisjärjellä voi käsittää

Ystävä hyvä, kuuntele vielä tää
Sun täytyy jo eläessäs kohtalostas päättää
Täydellinen ei ole meistä yksikään
Mutta pelastus on lahja,
jonka voit ottaa vastaan tai sitten hylätä

Taivaassa, siellä ei oo tuskaa, ei murhetta
Taivaassa saa olla aina Jumalan lähellä
Taivaassa, siellä on juhla loputon
Sitä ihanuutta ei ihmisjärjellä voi käsittää


8. ETERNAL SANCTUARY

(Instrumental)


9. VICTORY BY SURRENDER

My life I tried to control
I tried to last, tried to hold on
I strived to be good enough for God,
Tried to be wise and so strong

At last I crashed down
I wasn't good for anything
Wasn't able to do God's will,
Not even able to control my life

I wasn't the strong and wise
Crown of creation and earthly life
I was just a small, weak, helpless being
In the midst of the great unknown

Then I heard God's voice speak out to me:
"You've tried in your own strength,
Beaten your head against the wall
Would you let me take control now?"
I asked "what do you mean?"
"Would you surrender to me
And give me the authority to control your life?"

The next day I was thinking about
What God said to me last night
He said surrender to me,
Give me control of your life

I'm still not sure what He meant
Should I just stop living my life?
Should I stand still and wait
until God tells me to walk?

My spirit's willing but my mind is weak
And I don't know how it could be done
I feel small and alone
As I am falling from my own throne

I cried out to God that night:
"Lord, I can't do it, I can not please you"
"I didn't ask for your ability,
Only if you were willing
If you don't understand, don't worry
I'll do the work in you, just trust in me"
And so I yelled out:
"Take everything I have,
I don't have power to please you in my own strength!"

When I surrendered God took all my burdens
Now it's not me who live but Jesus lives in me
He holds my hand and leads my steps
So whatever lies ahead,
I can go on with a peaceful mind


10. THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB

My heart is black within
Stained by the filth of my sin
Rotten is my mind
Sin makes me blind

The blood of Jesus spilled on the ground
In this blood our salvation is found
Cry out to the Lord, pray to Him
Trust in God amidst your suffering

Again I cry in the night
Again and again I've tried
to get rid of my sin
But it stays, like slime it clings

Only in the blood of the Lamb am I free
It gives me strength, it justifies me
The Lamb is my Lord, my righteousness
Faith in Him I now confess

I can not save myself
Nor can my works or my wealth
He who died on the cross for me,
only He can set me free

If we are not in our Lord Jesus,
then God's wrath shall consume us
So let us repent and turn to the Light
For the day of judgement is nigh


11. A SIGH OF REDEMPTION

Strong walk, head up high
Feet on rock, eyes on the cross
Young warrior, full of pride
Ready to serve and heavenbound

But wait, what's this?
A temptation, forbidden fruit
It looks so nice, smells so sweet
Surely a taste can do no harm

A period of sin poisoning us from within
While deliverance lingers just one small sigh away
A sigh faintly echoing in the depths of our hearts
Striving to break the bonds of shame and desire

Then the snake tells his lies:
"You're a failure, a filthy rat
How could you - God's own child
Do something as horrible as that?"

Shut your ears - read The Book
"Ask, and it shall be given you"
You are God's precious jewel
Why wouldn't He forgive you?

A period of sin...

The next time you fall down,
Don't stay crawling in the dirt
But accept the redemption
In grace from our Lord!
