Lyrics:
Spoken:
You know it's been a while since I've stopped
To
take a long hard look at my life
When I finally did I began to
notice
That too many pieces of the puzzle just didn't fit
There was
a melody playing in my life
But the words were all wrong
Somewhere
along the road
I took my eyes off the map
And started depending on
others who've
Traveled this road
Casually assuming somebody else
could tell me
What I needed to know
Lord, it's hard to travel when
you've got the
Wrong directions
And it's a never-ending
journey
When you're seeking the approval of your life
Through other
men's eyes
But Lord, you put all the pieces together
And the road is
so much smoother
Simply because
Chorus:
You put the stamp of approval
In (my) my heart
My
heart, my heart
Repeat Chorus
Where am I going
How will I get there
Doing things my way
Has
got me nowhere
Sometime I'm lonely
But I'm never alone
When will
I learn
I can't do it on my own
I'm searching for love and
approval
Everyone in every way
But I fret and I worry
What the
people say
Oh does it really matter
What the people say
And I
can't control what they're thinkin' anyway, no
But right here and right
now
I choose to believe that God loves me
Some way, somehow
He
will set me free
Then I'll be living, living a new life
Happy and
peaceful, and free from strife
But you my sister and my brother
Are
you looking for someone to love you
The world won't, but God
will
And His love is so true
Oh don't you believe it
When they
say that you're nothing
God made the whole world
To give you
everything
Repeat Chorus
I'm taking my life, taking hold
But to Him I'm releasing
control
My every need and my every desire
To the Lord I have
secretly told
My destiny here is secure
There's a spark in my
heart
I know that the grace and the joy
Comes from the Lord
Repeat Chorus
You put the stamp of approval
In my heart
Scriptural Reference:
"'Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to
eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father
has placed his seal of approval.' Then they asked him, 'What must we
do to do the works God requires?' Jesus answered, 'The work of God
is this: to believe in the one he has sent.'" John 6:27-29
"For
the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of
righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, because anyone who serves
Christ in this way is pleasing to God and approved by men." Romans
14:17-18

Lyrics:
My country 'tis of thee
My Jesus can't you see I'm blue (hey, hey,
hey)
Well I went up to San Diego, L.A.
On up to the tip top of
Seattle in the trees and the rain
California, Oregon, and
Washington
Beauty that surrounds you is clear, clean and clear
But
they've even got troubles
In the Evergreen State
People
crying
"Lord have mercy get me out of here"
Chorus 1:
So many troubles in this country
Some folks say "God
has moved and gone away"
So many trials and tribulations here
Some
say "God has packed His bags and moved away"
But I say just as long as
a little bit of love survives
Jesus is still in the U.S.A.
Well you might be disgusted
Thinking nobody really cares
You
might not think that
God is here at all
But don't give up, don't ya
give up
Because you cannot see, no, oh
Problems in the heart of Kansas
Flash floods and the tornadoes live
in the stormy plains
People, people freezing in the Minnesota winds,
yeah
And the restless burn, burn, burn down in New Orleans
There's
still some parts of Texas
Not safe for some to be seen
Lord
somebody gotta tell me why New Yorkers
Got to be so mean? Oh yeah, yeah
Chorus 2:
So many troubles in this country
Folks say "God has
moved and He's gone away" say "He's gone away"
So many troubles in this
country
Folks say "God has packed His bags and gone, He's gone away,
far away" oh yeah
But I say just as long as a little bit of love
survives
Jesus is still in the U.S.A.
Jesus is still in the
U.S.A.
Oh and He ain't goin no where

Scriptural Reference:
"Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints. Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel" Ephesians 6:13-19

Chorus:
I know love, love, my love, He loves me

Lyrics:
What the world must see is for you and me
To be one (one,
one)
When people have turned to abusing themselves
It should tell
you that something's wrong
We need the Lord, we need the Lord
The
children are crying, the nations are dying
And the preachers and
teachers are lying
Is there a cure for sin?
There are conditions
that people are living in
Struggling, fighting to stay
alive
Anything to survive
Everyone's doing what's right in the sight
of his own eyes
Chorus 1:
Can we say (can we say) it's because (it's because) we're
not one (we're not one, can we say, we're not one)
But if they see (but
if they see) our love (our love), it will be because
We are one (we are
one)
If they hear (if they hear His words) His words (sera porque somos
uno (they will hear))
If they will ever (if they will ever turn) turn
(ca sera parsque nous sommes un (if they ever turn))
If we can save (if
we can save) the world (the world) (dann nur weil vier eins sind (save the
world))
There (will another generation of people) is no life, none to
(be deprived of living with, with) live without the son
And our faith
(the world will only turn to Jesus) our faith is vain
If it can't make
us one (when they see you and I can be one)
Can't make us one, if it
can't make us one
What the body (what the body needs) needs
Is for
you (is for you) and me (and me) to be one (to be one)
Channel:
When we are one in the (when we are one in the spirit)
spirit
And one (and we're one in the Lord) in the Lord
When we're
working (when we're working together) together in (in) one (accord)
accord
We'll be one (we'll be one)
The world will hear because we are one (one, one, one, one)
The
world will believe because we are one (one, one, one, one)
The world
will turn because we are one (one, one, one, one)
The world will be
saved because we are one (one, one, one, one)
We are one

Praise!
Chorus 1:
There is no excuse (uh uh, uh uh), (no) there is no
excuse
(no, no) There is no excuse, (no, no, no, no, no) there is no

There is no excuse, (no) there is no excuse
(no, no) There is no excuse
(just ain't no excuse for not), there is no excuse for not (praising the
Lord) praising the Lord (no, no)
Don't let your aggravations
And all the troubles that bring you
down
Provide justification
To be pessimistic like you sound
I
know it's easy
To let people cause you pain
But the Lord He died so
that you could live
And everlasting life to gain (I've got to tell you
that)
Chorus 2:
There is no excuse, (oh no) there is no excuse (hear me
when I say there's not a one no)
There is no excuse, (no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no) there is no excuse for not praising the Lord
There
is no excuse, (there is no excuse no) there is no excuse (there is no
excuse)
There is no excuse (no, no, no, no, no, no, no), there is no
excuse for Not (not) praising the Lord (well, well)
Some people say if God were really here
There wouldn't be so much
despair
Is He a figment of our imagination?
Is He somewhere in the
air?
Don't let the prophets of sorrow and doom
Steal your joy
away
You oughta raise your hands
You oughta stomp your
feet
Because in Jesus it's a brand new day (let me tell you)
Chorus 3:
There is no excuse, (no) there is no excuse (there's no
excuse)
There is no excuse, (yay) there is no excuse for not (no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no) praising the Lord (no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
There is no excuse, (no) there is no excuse (no)
There is no
excuse (just ain't no excuse for not), there is no excuse for not
(praising) praising the Lord (the Lord)

You could be up, and you could be
down
But the frown will turn around
With the joyful sound that we're
bringing
Singing with no apology
True peace and joy are available
(yep, yep) in G-O-D
Let me tell you there's no reason not to praise His
name
We're lifting him up and it's a praise thang!
We were made in God's image
We can choose our attitude
We're made
in God's image
And we choose to feel good
We were made in God's
image (Oh)
We can choose (you see uh) our attitude (choose our
attitude)
We're made in God's image (Oh yeah)

We're made in God's image
And
we choose to feel good (yeah we feel so good)
We were made in God's
image (yeah we feel so good)
We can choose our attitude (hey, oh

We're made in God's image (hey)
And we choose to feel good
Scriptural Reference:
"When he came near the place where the road goes down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: 'Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!' 'Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!' Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, 'Teacher, rebuke your disciples!' 'I tell you,' he replied, 'if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.'" Luke 19:37-40

Chorus:
(Two Hearts, one dream)
May we know the love of
Jesus
May we know just what it means
(Two Hearts, one goal)
May
our God in heaven guide us
May His Spirit take control
(Two hearts,
one aim)
May our selfishness be done and only love remain
When two
hearts become one
This is a special time
Because of the love that we share
You're
becoming mine
We are showing how much we care
For the rest of our
lives
You mean so much to me
We'll be husband and wife
I need you
deeply
We dedicate vowing never to depart
A special day has come
When
two hearts become one
Repeat Chorus
I thank my God above
And I'm ready to say I do
He has sent me
your love (sent me your love)
I'm so grateful for you
From this very
hour (from this very hour)
I'm yours and you are mine
Truly, truly
God has been kind
We dedicate vowing never to depart
A special day has come
When
two hearts become one
Repeat Chorus
Two hearts become one

Lyrics:
I've done a lot of wrong

Lyrics:
Now there's a banquet feast (banquet feast)
And everybody's been
invited there (and everybody's been invited there)
Will you come to the
banquet
Even the kings and queens (kings and queens) they have an
invitation
You know it's a gala affair
Yeah, but the problem is (the
problem)
Everybody's busy in their own way
Gotta rush, gotta
hury
No room (no room), no place (no place) and
No time (no time)
for us to spare
We've got a lot to achieve (got too much to
bare)
Cause He said…
Chorus:
Go out quickly to the streets
And lights of the
city
Go out quickly and spread the news
Well everybody's been invited (everybody)
It doesn't matter (it
doesn't matter) who they think they are
They could be broke or a
banker
Tell 'em there's something there (there's something
there)
There's food there for everybody you see
They can't afford to
miss this
Tell it everywhere you go (everywhere you go)
Cause all
the time you've got is but a vapor
Not a week not a day
No we don't
have time to delay
Get up, get out and show the hungry the
way…
Today…
We gotta give an invitation of hope
Today to the
world (they need it)
They need a spiritual alternative and
A better
way (you better believe it)
We've been commissioned as
ambassadors
Let's go to the lost
We are His voice (sing out)
We
are His hands (reach out) let's…
Repeat Chorus
Go out (go out), go out (yay)…
Go out (spread the news), go

'I tell you,' he replied, 'if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.'" Luke 19:37-40

Lyrics:
Chorus:
People won't you listen
When I say this I'm simply not
dissin
Education, know that you need it
You need it, believe it,
conceive it
I know 'cause I've been there
So let me share these few words with
you
And let it be understood
Keep your mind fixed in
'96
Education is the key
Stay behind me Satan not in front of
me
Times are hard for the brother man
Start now prepare for you a
better man
Keep your head in those books
You just don't know what it
took
The blood stains remain from the innocent
Can you see why I
recommend it?
Bridge:
(Come on believe, come on believe, come on believe, come on
beleive)
(Come on believe, come on believe, come on believe, come on

(Come on believe, come on believe, come on believe, come on
believe)
Repeat Chorus
Deep South, Underground Railroad
The Holocaust you know, in Nazi
Germany
Bloody path to opportunity
Here is a window open it up so
you can see now
Don't let their work be in vain
The pain, the shame,
some went insane
When they took of their own seed
Crushed against a
stone
Ooh dirty wrong, oh so dirty wrong
Sold for a penny and a dime
and a nickel
Thought we were simple I beg to differ
And now we've
got to strive for the right
Stand up for the right, stand up for the
right
Repeat Bridge
Repeat Chorus
Won't you listen...

Lyrics:
It has to be the right way
Chorus 1:
When you say it, say it
Know you gotta mean it
Gotta
be the only way
Only way the right way
Jesus is the Answer for the
world today
If we only obey the scriptures, brothers and
sisters
Gotta mean what you say when you say that you mean it
Gotta be the only way
Only way the right way
It has to be the
right way
Sitting back I reminisce about the time
I was a part-time Christian
things were so different then
In my life had a good wife stood by my
side trough all of my struggles
Jesus stepped right in and He took
control He gave me a plan that
I was to understand that He was
It
has to be the right way
Repeat Chorus 1
It has to be the right way
Gotta mean it when you say it
Because my Lord Jesus Christ
Yes
you need him, don't delay him
Do not play with Him
Because Jesus
will save you if you let Him
Good things come to those who wait (wait,
wait, wait, wait, wait, wait)
And with God we know that we can make it
It has to be the right way
Chorus 2:
I can make and you can make it
And if we pull together
everyone can make it
I can make and you can make it
Cuz I love and I
like it, and I love it - just a Christian
Repeat Chorus (x6 with stepouts)
