Don’t take this life for granted You were made for a reason You were born with a purpose Stand above our enemies Victorious Come on we gotta use our heads No longer can we conform to this world I will not bow at any mans feet I only bow before my Lord My Father My Deliverer My Forgiver My friend he is coming again Let our voices shake The ground we stand upon So they may know our fathers name And the darkness flee Let our voices shake the ground we stand upon Don’t take this life for granted You were made for a reason You were born with a purpose Stand above our enemies Victorious Come on we gotta use our heads No longer can we conform to this world I will not bow at any mans feet I only bow before my Lord My Father My Deliverer My Forgiver My friend he is coming

Beheaded, stripped and abandoned Hung from the gallows above Impaled and set to the flame These souls on procession Die with me, and let us die together Exiled in an ocean prison Drowned in a watery grave In this destruction lies our glory The end of our flesh With our brothers slain Beneath the altar we wait For Glory (x4) With our brothers slain! With terrible awe, our souls rejoice Salvation awaits Faithful of God lift up your heads Salvation draws nigh Lift up your heads to Heaven See our salvation comes The Rider on the white horse has ransomed us For Glory (x4)

A stone was cast upon the forced alliance of iron and clay. Ten toes of foundation was swept away. The sculpture of Babylonian dreams crumbles and falls. The weight of thousands of years rests upon what cannot stand. From my ashes, I arise to burn the pigshead and kill the flies. The mountain of God will cover the earth. The true Zion, under the wings of the sacred firebird. The sun of righteousness with healing under his wings. From my ashes, I arise in a blaze that will dissolve their hateful eyes. A new world is born as the old one dies: Not by flood, but by burning skies. The earth shivers from blood drenched surface to melting core. From my ashes, like the Phoenix, I will rise like the Son.

The holy one releases his blessings These blessings are a part of you We raise them to strive for success We guide them through life As we serve our Lord God We thank him for his mercy As we serve our Lord God We thank him for his blessings Blessings from above Embrace your every moment Blessings from above The almighty is unmatched He has given us limitless strength Which never fades through faith The blessings that he has given us Shows us his love he endures As we serve our Lord God We thank him for his mercy As we serve our Lord God We thank him for his blessings Blessings from above Embrace your every moment Blessings from above The almighty is unmatched

Don't let the blood of the martyrs be wasted Lord, help us stand up and take up their places There's work to be done and the hour is late So I pour myself out to be used Used by You Let me be a sacrifice, a pure and holy sacrifice Here on your altar O Lord Let me be a sacrifice, a pure and holy sacrifice Consumed by the fire of God Don't let the blood of my Savior be wasted Lord help us go to the faraway places You purchased my freedom without looking back So I give myself completely to You I give myself to You

I see the brilliance of your creation Inside and out Like a pulse of life Unlike any other Embedded into my heart This affliction has been placed in me I am at the mercy of the truth No matter how dark or deprived I see the light No matter how awful life can seem I see the light Pain can be like a black hole swallowing every ounce of security But this light can show you the way out if you choose to never let go It can be the most painful experience you've ever endured We were designed to overcome We’re at the mercy of the illuminator We’re at the mercy of the truth So hear my words We will rise beyond our sin and the evil of this world Evil holds no power against those who stand with the one who brings light to this world Life to this world

Look at me now From death row walking free I was trapped in a cell But You invaded hell Took back the keys So now death where is your sting? Behold my risen King He is everlasting When the night comes And the enemy whispers Thoughts of the day When my eyes close for the last time And I question my fate; I know all seemed lost as a lamb hung on a cross You thought you had the last laugh But you can save your breath ‘Cause my Saviour ain't dead I can see it now Heaven full of souls Singing "Holy is the Lord my God who made a way" Murdered, risen Not even death could hold you down Murdered, risen Nothing no one will take your crown So now death where is your sting? Behold my risen King He is everlasting I can see it now Heaven full of souls Singing "Holy is the Lord my God who made a way" For every loved one lost My King has paid the cost His children live forever So death won't define my race I know I'll see Your face And live with You forever Victorious, for sure He is He is the risen King.

Children in poverty and here I am angry about my childhood. Children being sold into sex trafficking and here I am pissed off about working long days. A selfish man with a selfish heart. I am doing nothing you haven't called me to do, Father. I've been broken before. Break me down, oh Lord. That way I can remember the way I need you. Right now, I stew in jealousy and envy for those around me. That is not my calling. That is not your plan for me. Remind me why I'm here. Tear me down to build me up, like you did once before. I am ready for the heartache if it means I can feel you in my soul like I once did. Take this hate out of my heart, replace it with your love. Take this selfish man, and make him a fisher of men. Mold me. Mend me. Purify me like fine wine. Bring to light my weaknesses so you can make them strengths. Make me like a fountain. Let me overflow with the joy, peace and happiness that can only be found through you. I have felt this all before. It won't be long until I feel them again. Because I know you are working on my behalf. And I know I will be the light you call me to be. There is no one I desire more than you. Jesus, you're all that I need right now. You're all I wish to be.

He will not leave He won't forsake He who dwells within the secret place Shall abide under the shadow of God Don't be dismayed He is your God He gives you strength He is with you Go on without fear The Lord shall renew your strength He who dwells within the secret place Shall abide under the shadow of God He was pierced for Our transgressions He was crushed for Iniquities He who dwells within the secret place Shall abide under the shadow of God He who dwells within the secret place Shall abide under the shadow of God

This age faces the denouement of a drama Such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time No, nor ever shall be The astounding spectacle to which the world will shortly awake Will exhibit untold calamity and the ludicrous conjoined in incredible fashion We are destined soon to pass from a stunning sense of tragic loss To a world echoing bursts of laughter The sting of our realization of a duo millennial loss Will melt away under fire and many plagues Judgment of the almighty God When they shall say peace and safety Then sudden destruction cometh upon them As travail a woman with child And they shall not escape Alleluia, salvation and glory Honor and power unto the Lord Jesus True and righteous are his judgments True and righteous are his judgments He who was, and is, and is to come He who was, and is, and is to come

The cancer of this world Transgresses against the one true God The eyes are growing dim As we watch our own hearts sin But the true fountain of life is found In Your grace and Your abounding love Lord You shared Your love with us You make the crooked path straight Your Son sent to bare our burdens We lift up Your Holy name Lord You make these torn, dry, bones new The weight of this cruel world breaks our spines in two With a mighty crack We cry and beg for You great Lord to just Please take it all back You make the crooked path straight Your Son sent to bare our burdens We lift up your Holy name Lord You make these torn, dry, bones new The chaos of this world Blasphemies against the one true God The souls are wearing thin As we feel our own minds bend But the true love of eternity Is In Your word forever clear Through Your great love we will follow You Because You shared Your light with us You make the crooked path straight Your Son sent to bare our burdens We lift up your Holy name Lord You make these torn, dry, bones new
