You were once spiritual Now you are cynical Was it trials or ignorance? Falling back in sin? Don't assume you're safe The plan for your life was stalled A self-denial has grown The fire was taken away He tried to restore your existence by offering you a second chance Was this not enough for you? Repentance is forever You were once spiritual Many will accept and hear the gospel with joy The enemy will steal the seed that fell around them Still others will harden themselves with those who fall astray Misguided again, the others will rebel with those who insist

How could this be, you say? A Savior born inside a manger instead of a palace or temple for princes? Where is this Bethlehem? Why not Jerusalem where all the elders teach the law? More fit for a king Man did not know the extent of God's plans for humanity, and how salvation was to arrive Who was to know that Him with the greatest name would serve and live a sinless life The Romans did not care The Greeks did not understand The Jews were ready for a conquering Messiah to guide them in battle But when the King arrived He was rejected by those that He came to save For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son That whoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life Christ You are Lord Christ You are Messiah Christ You are Lord And all this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet Isaiah: "The virgin will be with the child and will give birth to a Son, And they will call Him Immanuel which, when interpreted, means 'God with us'." Many believed in Him but others left distraught because they had to go indulge in riches or bury their dead In order to survive you must take up your cross and follow Him who would separate history He spoke in parables fulfilling what the prophet said and was tempted by adversary and prevailed Your name is above every other name Man did not know the extent of God's plans and how salvation was to arrive

Who created the seas and the sky? Is a meaningless life but a lie? Who has filled the earth with the stones? Our planet turns on an axis Everything has a purpose for being Every move has been written, you see Existentialists deny the claims that a higher being exists Man is the cosmic orphan in a land of total separation Reason destroyed the arguments against my God Why be a slave to morals if they don't exist? Why is it wrong to kill if there is no law? Every man is born with the knowledge of a force that creates and destroys It is part of the human experience to possess an internal void Atheism is hypocrisy - dream away while suppressing the truth While you call my lifestyle a dogma, you create one for yourself What is it that you won't accept? That a higher being exists? Wisdom declares that Christ is the only way to eternity Reason destroyed the arguments against my God Why not indulge in sin if there are no wages to collect? Why not become the vilest man on earth if lacking consequence? The fundamental crisis of the twentieth century is neither political, nor social, nor economic It is intellectual, and the primary intellectual problem is neither metaphysical nor ethical It is epistemological The fact is, the century has been called many things, but the name that portrays it best is: The Age of Irrationality The absurdity of the present age is so pervasive that even the faithful have accepted too much of it - this post-modern danger Who created the stars and the sun? Where did all this matter come from? When did God say the first Word of life? Can these questions ever be answered? Everything has a purpose for being Every move has been written, you see Existentialists deny the claims that a higher being exist How can you be so sure that your fate is sealed? Victory destroyed the arguments against my God Why be a slave to morals if they don't exist? Why is it wrong to kill if there is no law?

Has permanecido en constante obediencia Y lo que has sembrado se ha visto crecer El Justo expenderá el reino de los cielos ye heredara la tierra Pero has sido llamado a mas y en tus logros esta Jehová Que unge al escogido entre miles de otros No dejes de crecer - no dejes de creer La cruz que cargas - valiente sacrificio No dejes de crecer - no dejes de creer "Bienaventurados los que padecen persecución porque de ellos es el reino de los cielos. Bienaventurados sois cuando por mi causa os digan toda clase de mal contra vosotros." Gozaos y alegraos El premio en el cielo es tan inmenso Es seguro Porque así persiguieron a los profetas que fueron antes de vosotros Señor! El sufrimiento me ha dejado solo! Padre, Nuestro, mi sufrimiento es como una pesadilla real Real, el dolor! Y así sufre el justo Huestes de maldad, oscura potestad, conspiran contra mi, no temo, Jehová Humanos inseguros me tiran insultos y frustran esta vida tan corta es, tan corta que es Arrepentios! Arrepentios! (Sufre el justo) Arrepentios Ya! (Sufre el justo) De sus Pecados

Those of us who understand what we need will respond with haste at what is revealed Will take take steps to remove what once was pleasure but is now a plague to be eradicated Sin came through one man Redemption is in Christ Blessed is the man who turns from his ways Keep his commands in your youth Live like the wise, in righteousness Cutting sin from its root What is it that keeps you awake at night? Tugging at the inner void that you've tried to fill with so many things of this world Only to leave you empty again Sin came through one man Redemption is in Christ Blessed is the man who turns from his ways Not indoctrination, but regeneration I have realized I was made for God And my endless search has not been in vain Welcome to a meaningful existence You have been forgiven

Their lives are at stake Begin a new day Give us a new way A new day In the kingdom of the Great Many are present at the gate Ready and willing to grow on For what is a kingdom without a law? Toiling in the presence of the Holy One Faith produces works A calling to recall souls who have been driven away In the kingdom of the Pure Many are sent to boldly endure hardships and hurts while building the paths Making disciples, soldiers that last Then comes the day when our troubles will sprout Make your decisions, fight and do not doubt Worldly temptations may cause your work to stall A blessing is sent to guide your way He is the light Resist and obey This is the narrow road that I have chosen as my path I lead battalions through the desert - the elements Beyond the threatening skies is an oasis where I will rest with those who follow Christ We will invoke His holy name Oh, strengthen us, Holy Spirit Strengthen us, Holy Spirit A blessing is sent to guide your way He is the light Resist and obey Over time, the word has spread Thousands before us have died for this end so millions of humans can listen and respond with spiritual ears regenerated Fearless and bold we take to our chores sending the word to differing shores Message that builds the Heavenly lands As we await the day of the Lord "For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant of our trouble which came to us in Asia, that we were pressed out of measure, above strength, insomuch that we despaired even of life: But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead: Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us." In the kingdom of the Great Many are present at the gate Ready and willing to grow on For what is a kingdom without a law? Their lives are at stake Begin a new day

And lo, a voice from Heaven: "This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased" Born to die, His fate - The Cross Man of many miracles and sorrows In Galilee, the Christ, predicted his betrayal, death and resurrection May God's Will be done Born to die, His fate - The Cross At Gethsemane, "His soul was overwhelmed with sadness to the point of death," His prayers to the Father stated: "My Father, if you may, this cup of wrath be taken away unless I consume it, may God's Will be done." Born to die, His fate - The Cross May your Will be done The Christ was delivered into the hands of men, betrayed, was tried and then found guilty of nothing, was to die, sweating blood, under the curse and wrath of God And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth At this hour, he cried with a loud voice: "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani" Born to die, His fate - Ascension "Father, Father, why have you forsaken me? Father, why have you taken your eyes away from me?" "It is finished" "I am risen"

See ye not all these things verily I say unto you There shall not be left here one stone on the Great and Terrible Day of God Take heed that no man deceive you for many will come in my name saying "I am Christ" And shall deceive many You shall hear of wars and rumors of wars See that you will not be troubled All these things must come to pass but the end is not here Nation shall rise against nation - maladies will fall upon this sinful earth All these things are the beginning of sorrows for then shall be the great tribulation Then they shall deliver you up to the afflicted And ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake He that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved Woe unto them who rejected the Lord Many will weep and mourn in the judgement on the Great and Terrible Day of God Go to the ends of the earth To proclaim the Gospel of salvation Teaching all I have commanded you I will be there until the end of time

Burnt by the fire - molded by flames Refined by the winds - eroded by crushing waves Upon acceptance of the message of the cross, the Lord begins his work The trials you must welcome Overcome temptation and receive your crown A new creation stands! Spiritual maturity is achieved through repentance, obeying the commands stipulated in scripture, and maintaining firm like a pillar of stone Take up your cross and repent again Growing in spirit, sowing in faith, feeding the harvest, reaping again vital suffering Suffering is vital to Christian experience The more one proclaims to nations His Holy Name, the more unclean spirits and men will oppose Those who heed the warning will be saved Saved Saved

Riding through the fence Why do you pretend to know how it will end? When will you abandon this trend? We expire How many times were you warned of the afterlife only for you to ignore? The gate was wide for you Narrow was not your way even to the deathbed Facing the judge, no appeals to fill out There is no way to negotiate You will remember the ignorant blasphemy against Christianity and the God that you face now They are the majority They will not stand in the judgement Many will perish How unfortunate God has a plan for you You may be missing out on a better life on earth My word is more than gold I guarantee that he will not let you die alone As for the rest, we repent every day The remission of sin that we believe One day the path that was narrow and brave, where we carried our cross It shall lead us to our destination Those who stand until the end will be saved, it is revealed All souls were made the same The Lord knew who would believe You have to make this choice Have faith in Christ alone Eden was perfection Now it is in ruins To the New Jerusalem many will return We are the remnant The elect Back to Paradise I caress the Heaven sent Taste the bread, the testament We will live infinitely With our Lord eternally Those who stand until the end will be saved, it is revealed It's no fairytale This is truth, it's Heaven or Hell Wake up dying man Fall down on your knees and pray Wake up blind man Fall down on your knees and pray We are the remnant The elect Back in Paradise
