Carman

(0:12) If tonight you stood in heaven’s court;
to seek eternal favor…
Would you face Jesus Christ as Judge;
or face Him as your Saviour?
There are many who don’t quite know for sure;
what that verdict would be…if ever…
So lets imagine for a moment
you are standing dead center…
In the Courtroom of Forever…

(0:35) Instrumental

(0:55) Sitting before you is a structure;
massive and intense.
It’s here where your fate will be determined;
before this Judge’s bench…
Then a voice booms:
“This Court’s now in session.”
And your adrenaline starts to rush.
Peering down with eyes;
that see through your soul..
Is God the Father, your Judge.

(1:26) Then off to your left;
across the room…
Is the virtual silhouette of sin.
Stepping out of the shadows of condemnation;
your worst nightmare walks in.
On his face is the smirk of evil incarnate;
his mind fixed on your destruction in Hell.
You’ve just been introduced to you prosecuting attorney;
none other than Satan himself.

(1:55) The Bible says he’s the accuser of the brethren;
so guess what he’s gonna do.
He’s gonna accuse you of your sins;
and he knows them all…Both the old ones and the new.
He’s prepared his case for years;
now the golden moment is his.
So in arrogance he presents his case to the Judge;
and it comes out sounding something like this…

(2:20) “God, you see this worthless piece of trash over here!
This one is a sinner to the core! This one’s committed adultery,
cursed his neighbors, stolen money, been into drugs, alcohol
and even more! This hopeless wretch has even slandered his friends!
And by the guilty face, the whole courtroom can tell. That to a  moral
certainty and beyond any reasonable doubt, this one deserves eternal
judgement in Hell!”

(2:46) The words of accusation still echo;
your every sin thrown up in your face…
Then God opens the book;
where every deed is recorded…
And reviews your records of disgrace.
God says “The book says you did this, this, and this and everything
you were accused of today. Now before I sentence you to Hell forever;
are there any last words you have to say?”

(3:13) …Now if it’s true you were standing there;
in the Courtroom of Eternity.
With God to your front, and Satan-the prosecuter-to your left.
There’s one remaining eternal truth;
one that’s crucial to remember…
One you should never, ever, ever forget…

(3:33) Then, on the other side of the Courtroom…
(doom music)
I said, on the other side of the Courtroom…
(doom music)
You ain’t hearing me tonight;
I said, ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE COURTROOM!
(doom music)

(3:50) …Is the one and only Son of God;
revealed in time and space.
And he’s your defense attorney;
who has never lost a case!
It’s not Buddha, Muhammad, or Krishna;
or any others who succumb to death!
Ladies and gentlemen;
on the other side of The Courtroom,
is Jesus Christ of Nazareth!

(4:20) Then Jesus jumps up, says:
“Now what a minute Judge! I got something to say! May I remind you
that on a cross 2000 years ago, I washed his sins away! I was
crucified, I died, they put me in a tomb-about the midnight
hour–the power of God hit me and I walked out of that grave, alive
and well with resurrection power!”

(4:47) Then the devil says:
“It’s in the book! It’s written in the book! Check the book!”

God said:
“Okay.”
Then He takes the book out, lays it open and says:
“Now we’ll see what this book has to say.”

He turns to the first page…
The second page…
The third…
By the fourth, the devil seemed shook…

God closes it, says:
“The blood of Jesus must of worked…cause there’s absolutely
nothing in this book.”

(5:10) The devil says:
“Now what a minute, check that book again! All his sins are written
down, they’re all right there!

God says:
“Devil, maybe you’re mistaken all together. Maybe it’s this other book
down here…”

Devil cries:
“NO!! Not that book! Not that one!”

God said:
“Devil, why you so uptight?”

(5:26) God sets the book down…
The dust flies…
And on the cover it says: The Lamb’s Book of Life!

(5:35) Is your name in that book?
Is your name in that book?
Is your name in that book for sure?

If you’ve been forgiven…
And your name is written…
Then raise your hands-praise the Lord.

Yes, my name’s in that book…
Yes, My name is in that book…
Yes, My name is in that book tonight…

I’ve been forgiven…
And I know my name is written…
In the Lamb’s Book of Life…
In the Lambs Book of Life

(three blows of the mallet)

This court is adjourned…

Burlap to Cashmire

Basic Instructions before leaving earth . . .
For God so much loved the world,
That He gave His one and only Son.
That whoever believeth in Him Shall not die but live on.

(bridge) Living on . . . Through the Son
Peace almighty Living on,
Let your heart go
To the one.
Yes the road is narrow.
Yes the road is tough.
But whoever remaineth in Him
Shall not die, but lift up.

Basic Instructions before leaving earth.

Carman

(0:01) In the Beginning God created the heavens and earth
because up to that time the earth was without form and void
and darkness was over the face of the deep
but a phenomonon was about to take place
because the spirit of God was hovering over those waters
thats why after all this time I can stand here today and say

When he rolls up is sleeves he ain’t just putting on a ritz
our God is an awesome God
he’s got thunder in his food steps and lighting in his fist
our God is an awesome God
the Lord wasn’t joking when he kicked him out of Eden
it wasn’t for no reason that he shed his blood
his return is very close so you better be believing that our
God is an awesome God you see

(0:51) Our God is an awesome God he reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power and love our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God he reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power and love our God is an awesome God

(1:30) When the sky was starless in the void of the night
our God is an awesome God
he spoke in to the darkness and created the light
our God is an awesome God
the judgement and wrath he pored out on Sodem
and mercy and grace he gave us at the cross
I hope we have not too quickly forgotten
that our God is an awesome God
that makes me want to sing

(1:57) Our God is an awesome God he reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power and love our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God he reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power and love our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God he reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power and love our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God he reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power and love our God is an awesome God

(2:55) Our God is an awesome God if you believe that he reigns lift your voices and say
He reigns, he reigns, he reigns Our God is an awesome God lift your voices and say

Our God is an awesome God,
Our God is an awesome God
there were no gods formed before him and neither shall there be after him he is God and God alone

Our God is an awesome God, Our God is an awesome God for he will share his glory with no one for our God is an Awesome God

(0:15) Like a tainted hero

Like a wayward son
I get a little lost sometimes
I come undone
Though I know what I believe
Still I find a way to leave and run
I run

(0:44) I start climbing mountains
To stand so tall
Thinking I belong there
Above it all
And my pride gets the best of me
I stumble on reality and fall
And when I fall

(1:15) Let me fall
Into the arms of Jesus
Let me come into His kingdom
And kneel at His cross
When I stand beneath His mercy
I will give up my all
Let me fall into the arms of Jesus

(1:56) When I’ve been broken
And stripped away
Of these things I hold on to
That just decay
That’s when I find my resting place
I find out how amazing grace can be
So break my heart
Set me free

(2:25) Let me fall
Into the arms of Jesus
Let me come into His kingdom
And kneel at His cross
When I stand beneath His mercy
I will give up my all
Let me fall into the arms of Jesus

(3:00) This prayer comes straight from my soul
Teach me how to let go
And let me fall

America Again
By Carman

(0:12) George Washington, Thomas Jefferson
Samuel Adams, First Chief Justice John Jay
Names synonymous with the spirit of our country
Founding fathers of the U.S.A.

(0:24) Over 200 years ago they shook off the chains of tyranny from Great Britain By divine call
Citing 27 biblical violations they wrote the Declaration of Independence
With liberty and justice for all

(0:37) But something happened since Jefferson called the Bible the cornerstone
For American liberty then put it in our schools as a light
Or since “Give me liberty or give me death”, Patrick Henry said
Our country was founded on the Gospel of Jesus Christ

(0:50) We eliminated God from the equation of American life
Thus eliminating the reason this nation first began
From beyond the grave I hear the voices of our founding fathers plead
You need God in America again

(1:16) Of the 55 men who formed the Constitution
Fifty-two were active members of their church
Founding fathers like Noah Webster who wrote the first dictionary
Could literally quote the Bible chapter and verse

(1:29) James Madison said, “We’ve staked our future on our ability to fallow
The Ten Commandments with all our heart”
These men believed you couldn’t even call yourself an American
If you subvert the Word of God

(1:44) In his farewell address, Washington said, “You can’t have
National morality apart from religious principle,” and it’s true
‘Cause right now we have nearly 150,000 kids carrying guns
To these war zones we call public schools

(1:57) In the ’40’s and ’50’s student problems were chewing gum and talking
In the ’90’s, rape and murder are the trend
The only way this nation can even hope to last this decade
Is to put God in America again

(2:10) The only hope for America is Jesus
The only hope for America is him
If we repent of our ways stand firm and say
We need God in America again

(2:40) Abe Lincoln said, “The philosophy of the schoolroom in one generation
Will be the philosophy of the government of the next”
So when you eliminate the Word of God from the classroom and politics
You eliminate the nation that Word protects

(2:53) America is now number one in teen pregnancy and violent crime
Number one in illiteracy, drug use and divorce
Every day a new holocaust of 5,000 unborn die
While pornography flood our streets like open sewers

(3:07) America’s dead and dying hand is on the threshold of the Church
While the spirit of Sodom and Gomorrah vex us all
When it gets to the point where people would rather come out of the closet than clean it
It’s the sign that the judgement of God is gonna fall

(3:20) If there’s ever been a time to rise up Church, it’s now
And as the blood bought saints of the living God proclaim
That it’s time to send the alarm from the Church house to The White House
And say, “We want God in America again”

(3:40) I believe it’s time America to stand up and proclaim
That one nation under God is our demand
And send this evil lifestyle back to Satan where it came from
And let the Word of God revive our dying land

(3:53) For Jesus Christ is coming back again in all His glory
And every eye shall see Him on that day
That’s why a new anointing of God’s power’s coming on us
To boldly tell the world you must be saved

(4:06) Because astrology won’t save you, your horoscope won’t save you
The Bible says these things are all farce
If you’re born again you don’t need to look to the stars for your answers
‘Cause you can look to the very One who made those stars

(4:20) History tells us time and time again
To live like there’s no God makes you a fool
If you want to see kids live right
Stop handing out condoms and start handing out the Word of God in schools

(4:32) The only hope for America is Jesus
The only hope for America is him
If we repent of our ways stand firm and say
We need God in America again

(5:00) (repeat)

(5:27) We need God in America
God in America
God in America again

(0:29) Who spoke and made the sunrise, to light up the very first day
Who breathed across the water, to start up the very first wave
It was You

(1:00)You introduced Your glory, to every living creature on earth
And they started singing the first song to ever be heard
They sang for You

(1:26 )You make all things new
You make all things new

(1:36)But then the world was broken, fallen and battered and scarred
You took the hopeless, the life wasted, ruined and marred
And made it new

(2:00) You make all things new
You make all things new
You redeem and You transform
You renew and You restore
You make all things new
You make all things new
And forever we will watch and worship You

(2:30) You turn winter into spring
You take every living thing
And you breathe the breath of life into it over and over again

(2:45)You make  the sunrise day after day after day
But there’s a morning coming when old things will all pass away
And everyone will see

(3:12) You make all things new (hallelujah)
You make all things new (hallelujah)
Come redeem and come transform
Come renew and restore

(3:20)You make all things new (hallelujah)
You make all things new (hallelujah)
And forever we will watch and worship You
Now and forever, You are making all things new
You’re making all things new

(4:20) Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah. You make all things new

(0:07)One day when Heaven was filled with His praises
One day when sin was as black as could be
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin
Dwelt among men, my example is He
Word became flesh and the light shined among us
His glory revealed

(0:44)Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He’s coming
Oh glorious day, oh glorious day

(1:17)One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain
One day they nailed Him to die on a tree
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He
Hands that healed nations, stretched out on a tree
And took the nails for me

(1:52)Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He’s coming
Oh glorious day, oh glorious day

(2:26) One day the grave could conceal Him no longer
One day the stone rolled away from the door
Then He arose, over death He had conquered
Now He’s ascended, my Lord evermore
Death could not hold Him, the grave could not keep Him
From rising again

(3:02)Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He’s coming
Oh glorious day, oh glorious day

(3:41)One day the trumpet will sound for His coming
One day the skies with His glories will shine
Wonderful day, my Beloved One, bringing
My Savior, Jesus, is mine

(4:04) Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He’s coming
Oh glorious day, oh glorious day

(0:12)I see the city lights all around me
Everyone’s obscure
Ten million people each with their problems
Why should anyone care

(0:34)And in Your eyes I can see
I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world
Lost in a Sea of Faces
Your body’s the bread, Your blood is the wine
Because you traded Your life for mine

(1:13)Sometimes my life it feels so trivial
Immersed in the greatness of space
Yet somehow you still find the time for me
It’s then You show me Your love

(1:36)And In Your eyes I can see
And in Your arms I will be
I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world
Lost in a Sea of Faces
Your body’s the bread, Your blood is the wine
Because you traded Your life for mine

(2:10)If only my one heart
Was all you’d gain from all it cost
Well I know you would have still been a man
With a reason
To willingly offer your life

(2:34)I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world
Lost in a Sea of Faces
Your body’s the bread, Your blood is the wine
Because you traded Your life for mine

(2:57)I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world
Lost in a Sea of Faces
Your body’s the bread, Your blood is the wine
Because you traded Your life for mine

(3:20)Just one in a million faces

(0:17)I’ve heard it said that Love is blind
It’s never afraid, patient and kind
I’ve heard it said Love’s all you need
And that it is a many splendored thing

(0:46)I’ve heard people sing of Love at first sight
And how it’s so wrong, and how it’s so right
It lifts you up, it lets you down
But I have found…

(1:10)Love is a Cross
And Love let it be
Love is saving you
Love is saving me
The blood and the nails
A body so bruised
A Holy heart was broken
That’s how he chose to prove
Love is a Cross

(1:51)I’ve read that Love is just a myth
It’s only a crutch, it doesn’t exist
It’s something the world cannot achieve
But I believe…

(2:17)Love is a Cross
And Love let it be
Love is saving you
Love is saving me
The blood and the nails
A body so bruised
A Holy heart was broken
That’s how he chose to prove
Love is a Cross

(2:50)Peace is like a rushing river
Hope is paradise
Joy’s an overflowing fountain
Love paid the price…Cause

(3:09)Love is a Cross
And Love let it be
Love is saving you
Love is saving me
The blood and the nails
A body so bruised
A Holy heart was broken
That’s how he chose to prove
Love is a Cross
(3:52)The blood and the nails
A body so bruised
A Holy heart was broken
That’s how he chose to prove
(4:07)Love is a Cross

(4:14)Love is a Cross

(4:20)Love is a Cross

(0:12)Was a boy, Just nine years old, I heard the call and came. They buried me beneath the water, then I rose again. (0:32)Well, you know my dad was a preacher man. I walked the aisle and I took his hand. He said, “Son, just do the best you can, and say the words, (0:50)’I believe he is the Christ, the Son of the living God.'” (1:02)Through the years I barely fell; I mostly dove right in. I drank so deep from the shallow well only to thirst again. Well, I sang the hymns at the summer camp, then I rocked and rolled with a lousy band till I heard a song that took my hand and led me home. (1:40)And I believe he is the Christ, Son of the living God. (1:51)I believe he is the Christ, Son of the living God. (2:00)All I know is that I was blind but now I see that though I kick and scream, Love is leading me. And every step of the way his grace is making me; With every breath I breathe, he is saving me. And I believe. (2:35)So when my body’s weak and the day is long, when I feel my faith is all but gone, I’ll remember when I sing this song that I believe. I believe he is the Christ, Son of the living God, my Lord, my Savior. Oh, Hosanna, I believe. (2:54)I believe he is the Christ, Son of the living God. (3:06)I believe he is the Christ, Son of the living God. (3:17)I believe he is the Christ, Son of the living God. (3:30)I believe he is the Christ, Son of the living God. (3:41)My Lord my savior, My Lord my Savior. I Believe.
