The long-hair movement of '60s & '70s was orchestrated by rock & roll crusaders to

identify with females & help them to choose to be pretty & virtuous instead of

succombing to the coersion of the church scandal!  They were & are heroes confronting

pseudo-bastions of truth, a fallen establishment

 

Rock & Roll's manifest consistant standards:

(1)Fight for our rights & for justice

(2)Belief in Jesus & Heaven

(3)A strong work ethic

(4)Love, fun, & encouragement

(5)Friendship & counting on one another

(6)Courage to believe in yourself & go against the flow

(7)Belief in the encouragement of good music

(8)Patriotism for America (including bands from England!)

 

Excerpt from a recent letter to rock crusaders:

 

"...I wrote this to encourage you & I'll continue to proclaim what you went

through for God, for youth, & for "all the broken hearted living in the world."  You are angels &

saints of God & God loves you as his precious possession, & I love you very much in Christ. 

Words can't express the love that I have for you.  I had never been so deeply moved in all my life as

when I learned that you had suffered for Jesus, & with each new discovery that I made through

your songs about your total & undivided love for God & your struggles to break the bondage of

sin & prevail for God, it was more love & determination to tell your story..."

 

"...the hurts they have, oh they need love to help them heal..."

("They'll See My Son Is Heaven's Stairway," below)

 

I'm telling everyone to call them, write them, contact them & shower God's love on them.  They are

under cover soldiers for Christ; the real thing!  Rejected by those claiming to be Christians, insulted, smeared,

cut off from worship & for the most part institutional "Christendom," denied fellowship & brotherly love &

teachings about God by biblical "authorities," all accompanied by claim that God had condemned them &

they were going to hell, what self-discipline, self-control, courage, mental fortitude, & love it must have

taken to hold on the faith, refuse to become embittered, resist being overcome by hate, & moreover, strategize

& do battle with overarching motives of love, joy, & optimism, & to prevail for Christ!  In otherwords, they

had to make do on their own against all odds, to "hope against hope," as Abraham.  I can't say why

they have delayed so long in providing me justice, since I am a fellow victim, & probably more so than any

one of them on an individual basis, but God has opened my eyes to the magnitude of this movement, & so

I am trying to exercise humility.  Moreover, it seems to be the battle plan of the rock crusaders that most all

rock music is going to be glorifying God in the near future! 

 

 

Here We Are!

"Open time capsules!"

 

V1

It's early morning, the sun comes out

Last night was vibrating, psychedelic, & loud

Your cat is purring, & scratches your skin

So what is wrong with another sin?

Your flesh is hungry, your woman can tell

She was a dish, her features snortin' fell

You're going places you never thought you'd go

Crimes for fixes; the drug lord owns your soul

 

Chorus1:

Here we are!  Cocaine ruins your life!

Here we are!  Taking crack leads to your demise!

 

V2

Your body is burning, approaching down & out

Desire's in your face, & screamin' loud

Lost in the rage of addiction's crave

Just have to have another wave

The night is calling & it won't let go

The drug wolf is hungry, & now he's running your show

He's licking his lips, he needs more sin

You gave up the hunt, & you've become him! 

 

Chorus2:

Here we are!  Alcohol rips up your insides!

Are you ready, ready, ready, ready, ready!!!!!

Here we are!  Smoke pot & you'll lose your drive!

Here we are!  Use heroine & it's hard time!

Just gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta be saved!!!!!

Here we are!  Drugs cut you down in your prime!

 

Call on the Most High!!

 

[V1]

 

Chorus3:

Here we are!  Take acid & your brain is fried!

Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on!!!!!

Here we are!  Psilocybin highs erode your mind!

Here we are!  Sniff ecstacy & you could die!

Just gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta, gotta be saved!!!!!

Here we are!  Drugs cut you down in your prime!

 

Here we are!

 

No Idols!

 

V1

Last Sunday another church tried to show us the door
Last Sunday their pulpit sayin’ rock can’t believe in the Lord
They said, “You know the rules, we got the license for love
“And whatever we say is decreed from above"

Chorus:
But in the midnight hour we cried- "Lord, Lord, Lord!"
With a zealous yell we cried- "Lord, Lord, Lord!"
With a righteous rage, babe- "Lord, Lord, Lord!" (Wowww)
With heartfelt yell- "Lord, Lord, Lord!"
"Lord, Lord, Lord!"

V2
We don't like slavery, & we are talented
“What does the Scripture say?” is what Jesus said
“Whoever believes in him shall not perish, 
“But shall have life everlasting”
&

(Chorus)

Bridge:
God dwells in Heaven, & we’re on earth
But he lives in the hearts of humble rockers
We’ve chosen to know nothing among you
Except Christ, & him crucified!!!

V3
We’ll walk the world to show the way
Many thousands of  miles for you
We’ll tell them of how you died to save us
A million times, & make it cool

V4
I give you my life, my heart, my soul, Lord
My money, my possessions, my goals, Lord
I'd give you all, and have none, God
No idols! Justa, justa, just to know your Son, God!
&

(Chorus)

 

Ending:
Oh yeah rock angels
We love the Lord
The Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord!

Oh yeah rock angels
We love the Lord
The Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord!

 

 

They'll See My Son Is Heaven's Stairway

 

James & John, Sons of Thunder, Mk 3:17,18

Paul James McCartney & Elton John

& vicariously, Dennis DeYoung

 

V1

I could light all of their darkness

Jacob's stairway, my Word's symbol of Christ

I'm growing tired of you stiff-necked people

You're frozen here on the ladder of your pride

 

V2

I placed you here to save them from falling

Freely you received, to freely give this word of Life

But you proved unfaithful to the Holy calling

You closed the door, but they shall see a great light

 

Chorus:

They'll see my Son is Heaven's Stairway (they'll see my Son)

Although they seek for God, they are so easily deceived

In your hearts you must set apart as Lord Christ Jesus

'Cause rock & roll says everything is knowing my Son, Heaven's Stairway

 

V3

It ain't so much, oh, the right fishing line

If you'd seek me with all your heart, you'd surely find me

But you discard my sheep & you cause them harm

When the hurts they have, oh they need love to help them heal

 

(Chorus)

 

(Chorus)

'Cause rock & roll says everything is knowing my Son, Heaven's Stairway

'Cause rock & roll says everything is knowing my Son, Heaven's Stairwaaaaaayyyyy!!!!!!

 

 

 

Believe

 

"I served the Lord with great humility and with tears and in the midst of severe testing by the plots of my... opponents, Acts 20:19 

"'It is more blessed to give than to receive,'" Acts 20:35c 

"I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord

Jesus has given me —the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace," Acts 20:24

 

V1

Believe you’re in Heaven, by faith you are, in Jesus Christ
No need for moon or sun, God himself is our light
Imagine all the people
In the Resurrection & the Life

 

Aahh-ah-ahh

V2
Believe with all possessions entrusted in God’s hand
No need, no greed, no hunger, a brotherhood of man
Imagine loving people
"Better
to give than to gain"

 

Yoo-oo-ou

 

Chorus1:
You may say I'm a dreamer
Praying for all to be one
The Rock was one of us, the Redeemer
On the Roll, we may be one

V3

Believe there’s no countries, you’re Abraham’s child too
The Lord of All came to die to make us one with Truth
Imagine all the people
Following the Lion of Judah

Woo-hoo-hoo

Chorus2:

Do more than imagine, as a believer
Because our God is able to do
Exceeding abundantly beyond

All we can ask, sing, or groove

 

(Chorus1)

 

Hey Jesus, Lion of Judah!

"The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the

contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds," 2 Cor 10:4

"Then one of the elders said to me, 'Do not weep! See, the

Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed...'" Rev 5:5

"For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but of boldness, love, &

self-discipline," 2 Tim 1:7

 

Their 'curse' is completely demolished forever & ever & ever, Paul,

with a little help from your friends, such as the Lion of Judah!  Jesus is Lord!

 


Hey Jesus, Lion of Judah!
No more sad songs, we're 'spiritually wittier'!
We overcame with the Joy of the Lord in our hearts
We're firin' up the Lion's Big 'Ol Jet here!

V2
Hey Jesus, fishermen of courage
We're walkin' on water, landin' stripers
The minute we air warnings about sin
They can repent & be born again

Chorus1:
You died on the cross for the sins of the world
& rose again - life conquered death's the main thing - you shouldered it
They need to know there's no one like you, oh Lion of Judah,
That's why we're rock, & granted, we're bolder!
La la la, la la, la la la la

V3
Hey Jesus, we won't call it a noun
For the gospel, we're gonna rock & roll!
Remember, you said "vicious hearts"
We growl, yell, & sing, to save their souls

Chorus2
So 'let it all hang out' is in, hey Jesus, a glimpse
You've given us of your goals for our performances
& all things are possible with you! Hey Jesus, we'll do it
We'll make hearts kneel, 86 free will, the Man says!
La la la, la la, la la la la, yeah

V4
Hey Jesus, Lion of Judah!
No more sad songs, we're 'spiritually wittier'!
We overcame with the Joy of the Lord in our
& we're firin' up the Lion's Big 'Ol Jet here
Big 'Ol Jet here, Jet here, Jet here, Jet here, Jet here, yeeaaahhh!!! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!!!!


Ending:

La la la, la-la la la
La-la la la, hey Jesus!  Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!!!!!
La la la, la-la la la
La-la la la, hey Jesus!  Yoooo!!! Glory Hallelujah!

La-la la la, hey Jesus! 
Mighty One of Israel! Halleluah!  Praise the Father, Praise the Son, Praise the Spirit!

 

Boss of the Light

 

V1

Well, we were just another band out of Boston

On the road and tryin' to make ends meet

Playin' all the bars, sleepin' in our cars

And we practiced right on out in the street

No, we didn't have much money

We barely made enough to survive

But when we got up on stage and got ready to play people came alive

 

Chorus:

Rock and roll band everybody's waitin'

Getting' crazy, anticipatin'

Love, and music, play, play, play, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

 

V2

Dancin' in the streets of Hyannis

We’re getting pretty good at the game

People stand in line and don't seem to mind

You know everybody knows our name

& despite church leaders cursing our songs

Somehow, Someone is blessing

When we get up on stage and get ready to play everybody's listenin'

 

(Chorus)

 

V3

Playin' for a week in Rhode Island

A man came to the stage one night

He said, "You're dream weavers, be tall,

"Meet the Bright Morning Star

"We're gonna show them who's Boss of the Light!"

We became singers, actors, & dicks at once

& like Jesus at his revelation

We're comin' again bringing justice & judgment

& taking the gospel to all the nations!

 

Chorus2:

Rock and roll band everybody's prayin'

Getting' crazy, anticipatin'

God's love, and music of faith, faith, faith, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!

 

 

 

Crazy Train

 

“All aboard!”

 

Ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaa!

Aye, Aye, Aye, Aye, Aye, Aye, Aye

 

V1

They're crazy, but that's how it goes

International culture of rebels & foes

They abandoned the American Way

They were born to love, ah, they grew to hate

 

When good is not appealing

Life's a bitter shame

A culture off the rails on a crazy train

 

Let's go!

 

V2

I've listened to preachers, congregations they fool

"Oppress whom we say, & God promises we'll rule"  

The church is conditioned with evil motives

The media sells it, the culture plays the role

 

Mental wounds still screaming

They fabricated our fate

A culture off the rails on a crazy train

 

Bridge:

I know that things aren't going well for me

I was born to hope Osborne won't burn

Yeah

 

V3

Spiritual warfare, spiritual governs the physical

Demolishing pretentions that come from a schism                  

The real world should care

Gospel obedience comes by deeds & prayer

 

Mental wounds begin to heal

Rights restored today

Culture of rebellion punished in the "state"

 

 

 

I’ll Rocket Up With You

(1 Thess 4:17,18, 1 Cor 6:20)

Sin shall not be my master, for I am not under the law, but under grace, Rom 6:14

No, no, no, I'm your gun, crusaders!

Who says it'll be slow!!?  We're gonna rocket up to Heaven with

multi-colored vapor trails!

 

V1

I never knew there'd come a day

When I'd be sayin' to you,

"Don't ever take your love away, 

"Now that I know you"

Oh, I know you know the kind of man I am

Not one to take an intangible stand

& you're real & the love just comes shining through

 

Chorus1:

I'll rocket up with you, O my God

In the clouds at your appearing   

I'll rocket up with you, Rocket Man

When you return for your own who believe         

 

& Lord it's true

You're the One

Who bought me, & you taught me

About your love brotherly 

 

V2

It took so long to give you my life

I thought your love was a game

But 'playin' around' led me to find

You alone have the power to save

You made me realize the love I missed

No one else gave their life to pay for my sins   

& at dawn your glory shown through; an empty tomb!

 

Chorus2:

I'll rocket up with you, O my God

You're the One who's got me down on my knees

I'll rocket up with you, in the clouds 

When you return for your own who believe

 

And God it's true

You're the One

Who bought me, & you taught me

About your love brotherly

 

Bridge:

& I have the faith of the mighty  

I've seen you melt hearts cold as ice, oh, ho

So Lord, please use me

Oh, with each & every day

I can lead others to turn to the faith, oh, ho

I can't live without you

I'll rocket up with you

Yeah, yeah, yeah

 

With each & every day

I can lead others to turn to the faith, oh, ho

They can't live without you

 

(Chorus1)

 

And baby it's true

You're the One

Who bought me, & you taught me

About your love brotherly

You're the One who's got me down on my knees

I'll rocket up with you, Jesus 

When you return for your own who believe

 

And Lord it's true

You're the One

Who bought me, & you taught me

About your love brotherly 

 

One Of These Lines

(Jn 8:37)

The song is about lack of a faithful, godly, woman for a wife in a

scandalous church; rebuke is directed at the corrupt church overall;

despite whether females were more involved in the conspiracies,

as far as "church members," males are ultimately more to blame

for the scandal due to rank of authority biblically & failing to

intervene

 

(Robert was insisting we "Fire!" Don because he barely muttered "Sing it, Joe"

in "Hole In the World Tonight," but when Don threatened to jump out of the

Eagles - Wings Gospel Ship, without a parachute, we had to let him off with a

warning)

 

V1

One of these lines
One of these pre-arranged lines
You’ll have to reveal it, pretty sister
Or avoid the light 

The Spirit searches all things, hearts & minds
His winnowing fan divides the wheat from the chaff 
"You're ready to kill me, because you have no room for my word"
Jezebel's sin has become full blown

Ooo, just tryin’ to be kind to you     
Flee darkness, & embrace the light!
Ooo, tried bein' "long here behind you"
But swear I'm gonna find you
We're Dream Police in white!

V2
One of these reams
One of these twisted-Scripture reams now
We're gonna find they’re
Making victims scream

I've been searching for a sister who says, “To hell with the devil!”
I've been searching for an Angel in white
I've been waiting for a people who's only ‘froth’ is hoop dribble
Repentance comes through the Lord’s kindness

Ooo, conspirators, we bind you
There’s no inbetween with wrong and right!
Ooo, we'll be standin' right in front of you
You ain't believers in truth
We're Dream Police in white!

Ending:
(One of these lines)
Ooo, flee darkness, & embrace the light!
[Got warrants & they're signed, too] [Got the Army’s ol’ one-two]
[Swear I'm gonna bind you] [& the Marines ain’t gonna fine you]
Nab ya, hypocrits, with one of these lines

(One of these lines)

Ooo-hoo-hoo, ooo-hoo-hoo
(One of these lines)
I can feel it, I can feel it
(One of these lines)
Tryin' to be kind to you
Swear I'm gonna bind you noo-oow
(One of these lines)
It gets so dark, it's so dark and cold, & lonely

(One of these lines)
One of these crazy, crazy, crazy lines
(One of these liii-iii-iii-iii-iiines)
Scriptures to remind you
God's word binds you
(One of these lines)
Ooooo-oh-hooooo


(One of these lines)
Victims saying, “Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!”
(One of these lines)
One of these, one of these
(One of these lines)
We're here to confront you
God's kindness is blunt with you
(One of these lines)

 

Enter the Sabbath-Rest

(Heb 3:12, Heb 4, Jude 1:13, 1:3)

 

"Do you wish to enter the Promise Land, aye or neigh?"

"Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye, aye!!!!!"

 

V1

The moment of God’s rest could pass you by, enter while it’s still called “Today”

All the dreams you never thought you'd lose could get tossed along the way

‘Formed’ is followed with ‘dysfunctional,’ may be victims, but now it’s a complex

Orphans for adoption who won’t submit to God your tickets

Belong, or you’re no one

Saved or shame

You want to hide behind me, maybe for awhile,

But the Promise Land is calling your name

No more investigations or waiting

 

V2

Scars are souvenirs that you don’t need, the past is never far

Your long journey is completed, & the Promise Land awaits

Enter or be a wandering star

How can you contend for the faith if you refuse to consumate it?

Grew up way too fast, you had to be wise beyond your years

But enter & you’ll make history

Your godly songs of redemption, Holy Spirit’s radio

Ah, be born again today!

 

Said your drums have reached the ears of the Lord of the Sabbath

Enter the Sabbath-rest today!

 

 

Good News!

(Prov 31:12)

"Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so

became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, 'So

shall your offspring be,'" Rom 4:18

"...& hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out

within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us," Rom 5:5

"He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will

find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart," Ps 91:4

"I will sing of the Lord’s great love forever; with my mouth I will make

your faithfulness known through all generations.  I will declare that your

love stands firm forever, that you have established your faithfulness in

heaven itself," Ps 89:1-3

 

Ps 91

"Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High

    will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the Lord, 'He is my refuge and my fortress,

    my God, in whom I trust.'

Surely he will save you

    from the fowler’s snare

    and from the deadly pestilence.

He will cover you with his feathers,

    and under his wings you will find refuge;

    his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.

You will not fear the terror of night,

    nor the arrow that flies by day,

nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,

    nor the plague that destroys at midday.

A thousand may fall at your side,

    ten thousand at your right hand,

    but it will not come near you.

You will only observe with your eyes

    and see the punishment of the wicked.

If you say, 'The Lord is my refuge,'

    and you make the Most High your dwelling,

no harm will overtake you,

    no disaster will come near your tent.

For he will command his angels concerning you

    to guard you in all your ways;

they will lift you up in their hands,

    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

You will tread on the lion and the cobra;

    you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

'Because he loves me,' says the Lord, 'I will rescue him;

    I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.

He will call on me, and I will answer him;

    I will be with him in trouble,

    I will deliver him and honor him.

With long life I will satisfy him

    and show him my salvation. '”

 [I have taken a public oath that I'm not marrying anyone who lives in

Davis, or has lived in Davis in the past; this song is in applicable as

far as any local context]

 

V1

A 'knot' of love, you saved your love

You said, "I'll do him good all the days of my life"

You just held on, & kept looking up

Virtuous & strong, thank God you're my wife

A whole lotta love, Yeshua

It's the love

 

V2

I longed to hold you close to me

You're a girl who's given her heart to Jesus

On the day of evil, you said, "Jesus!

"I'll obey, no matter what anyone else does"

A knot of love, Yeshua

It's the love

 

(Be brave

Big boys follow Christ

Big boys follow Christ

Big boys follow Christ

Big boys follow Christ

Big boys follow Christ)

 

V3

Dream weaver love of Ruth for Boaz

Oh, lilly of the valley, you're everything to me

While I was a soldier fighting the King's Holy battle

You prayed to God we'd be rocks, faithfully

A knot of love, Yeshua

It's the love

 

Bridge2:

Oooh, you waited a long time for me

Oooh, you waited a long time

Oooh, you waited a long time for me

Oooh, you waited a long time

 

V4

A 'knot' of love, I saved my love

I said, "I'll love her as the church Christ does"

& on the day of evil, I said, "Jesus!

"Here I stand on your word, I can do no other"

A whole lotta love, a whole lotta love!!!

 

 

 

Jesus Is Tops!

(Ez 47:13)

 

"Yes, power over all the evil one!"

Blessings of Joseph & Blessings of David

 

"Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because

he was the son of his old age; and he made him a multicolored

coat," Gen 37:3

 

"Who has gone up to heaven and come down?

    Whose hands have gathered up the wind?

Who has wrapped up the waters in a cloak?

    Who has established all the ends of the earth?

What is his name, and what is the name of his son?

    Surely you know!

'Every word of God is flawless;

    he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.

Do not add to his words,

    or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar,'" Prov 30:4-6

 

"But...but...he's pummeling us with blessings!"

Joseph's double portion, but I'm holding the line, rockers; justice

right this second!

 

V1

Boston shirt, dancin' shoes

We'll put a stop to churches sleepin' for you!  

Silk suit ain't our style

Just 'cause it's more casual for Christ

They come runnin' just as fast as they're able

I think I'm in love with spinning guitar players!

 

V2

Golden songs etched with Diamond

Like David, dance with all your might!  

"Cornerstone," see drum sticks spin

Rock & roll is Kilroy performin'

They come runnin' just as fast as they're able

King David's here!  Modern great harp players!

 

V3

Top coat, top hat

See zeal!  Opt to make God's Kingdom's fat

Black shades, white gloves

& multicolored blues from the God of Jacob

They come runnin' just as fast as they're able

I think I'm in love with spinning guitar players!

They come runnin' just as fast as they're able

King David's here!  Modern great harp players!

 

Money

(1 Tim 6:10 ("For the love of money is the root of all evil,"), Is 53)

 

V1

Money

Is unrighteous

Make the most of it, it ain't no glitter license

Money

Few'll guess

Oil Co cash grabs violating Sherman Anti-Trust Act

 

New car, caviar, execs halving our rights, they're reaming

When needy children need food to eat

 

V2

Money

We'll get 'em back

For our rights, we'll fight

Righteous use can save lives

Money

It's a hit

If you invest it, multiply it, don't stash or deny it   

 

When we love the homeless & hungry, naked, sick, & hurting

The Bible says we're loving Jesus!

 

V3

Money

It's a crime

Only one master,

Is it money or Christ!?

Money

The love of it

Is the root of all evil, don't covet!

 

He was the Suffering Servant to show us serving the suffering

Is serving him with fervency!

 

V4

Money,

To the word submit

Those who preach the gospel should earn their living from it

Money,

Tithe it

Mission-bound bucks gets boo-koo Bibles shipped!

 

& if pray to the Lord for a raise, it should come with no surprise

If you’re giving it away

Away, away, away, away, away, away!

 

Ending:

"HuHuh! I was in the right!"
"Yes, absolutely in the right!"
"I certainly was in the right!"
"You was definitely in the right. Those geezers were conspiring!"
"Yeah!"
"Why does anyone do anything like that?"
"Well, Styx, Eddie Money, & Led Zeppelin indicated it was for the love of money & power!"
"I was just telling them they couldn't do it!  Then they started to freely conspire in public, & I was yelling and screaming and telling them they can’t conspire or hold victims hostage or deny freedom of worship at all, much less freely in front of everyone!  It came as a heavy blow when the army came & bombed them.”

 

You Can't Hide Your Lion Eyes

 

V1

Soul winners just seem to find out early

How to open doors to save your soul

If you store up things for yourself, you'd better worry

Be rich toward God & you're ready for the Eastern Glow

 

V2

Well, some people, they get bored or lonely

They don't recognize the Pearl of great worth

But we're treasures in jars of clay blessed solely

To bless the needy with clothes & wheat & work

 

Chorus1:

You can't hide your Lion eyes

Hey Judah’s Lion is Thanksgiving light

You let ‘em in, Big ‘Ol Jet peace sign!

On Eagle’s Wings, be rich toward God Most High

 

V3

Some will tell you, "I truly believe in Jesus"

& their faith includes church & singing aloud

But when the Lord says "Sell all you have & follow me"

They turn away with their faces cast down

 

V4

If it sounds really wild to give up all you own

As long as you have Christ, all things are yours

Christ was rich, but for us he trusted solely

On the daily bread, the will, & the love of the Lord

 

(Chorus1)

 

V5

She rushes to his arms, they fall together

She whispers that it's only for a while

She's aware that it's costing them their forever

She dismisses the reality with a smile

 

V6

She gets up, & pours herself a strong one

& stares out at the stars up in the sky

Another night, it's gonna be a long one

She draws the shades & hangs her head to cry

 

V7

She wonders how it ever got this crazy

She thinks about the other members of her church

Did they get bored, or did they just get lazy

'Cause somewhere they left God's Word in the lurch

 

Chorus2:

They can’t hide their lyin’ eyes

Will you thread a camel through a needle's eye?

Takes an open hand to give & go blessed from on High

Store up for yourselves treasures in the by & by

 

V5

My, oh, my, the Father knows how to arrange things

Give, & look what you will get back

Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over

All will be poured into your lap

 

(Chorus1)

Like the Lion of Judah, be rich toward God Most High

Just be rich toward God Most High

 

 

“Here I Am With the Children God Has Given Me!”

(Is 7:13,14, 8:18-21, 9:2,6,7, 2 Cor 12:9)

 

V1

The road of faith is a mystery
Where’s our Majestic Mystery of Faith Ship?
What are we waiting for?
The children need our help!
What are we waiting for?
We can’t wait until we’re perfect
"My grace is sufficient for you,
"My power is made perfect in weakness"
We will be invincible!

V2
Their shattered dreams you cannot justify
If we’re complaining about hairstyles
What are we running from?
We've got the right to be angry!
What are we running from?
“Here I am with the children God has given me!”

V3
God’s people are saved sinners
Not many were wise or influential
Not many were noble at birth
We will be Invincible
And with the power of Immanuel
Trusting in Christ’s sacrifice
We’ll break the bondage of the magic spells
We will be invincible!

Bridge:
Won't anybody help them?
What are we running from?
“Here I am, oh!

“Here I am with the children God has given me!”

V4
Saved sinners is the message of salvation!
Paul a blasphemer, David a murderer
They need to hear Christ’s revelation
We will be invincible!
"To the law & to the testimony!"
We are signs & symbols to save
The children God has given me

We will be invincible!

Hallelujah!!! Oooohhh

Hallelujah!!! Oooohhh

Hallelujaahh-aahhh-aaaaaahh!!!

 

Ending:
We can’t wait until we’re perfect
Jesus already stripped the enemy
& made him a public spectacle
We will be invincible!

We can’t wait until we’re perfect
God prepared us for good works
Their eternal lives are at stake!
We will be invincible!
