Lyrics:
Chorus 1:
Revive us Lord as we call on Your name
Send a revival,
a revival
Revive us Lord that the world may be changed
Send a
revival, a revival, a revival
I've been servin' (I've been servin') Jesus the
rock
Wolves come callin' and they pull from the flock
And it
seems that they are stronger than our precious Lord
But it's time for
us to rise up and to draw our sword
Repeat Chorus 1
Are you searching (are you searching) for the answer (are you searching
for the answer)
(You know that) Christ is the cure for life's
cancer
Ask me how I know for sure this promise is for real (is for
real)
My faith is for certain it's much more than how I feel (more than
how I feel)
Chorus 2:
Revive us Lord as we call on Your name (as we call on Your
name)
Send a revival, a revival
Revive us Lord that the world may be
changed (that the world may be changed)
Send a revival, a revival, a
revival
A revival

Chorus:
I will speak Your name when the storm is raging
I will
speak Your name when the sea is calm
I will speak Your name when my
fears o'ertake me
And forever on my lips I will speak Your name
You are my God (God, God), a help in time of trouble
And my source
(source, source) of my salvation
And forever in my heart You will
remain
I will speak Your name
Repeat Chorus
You are my King (King, King) an I'm here to serve You
And I sing
(sing, sing) praises to the Lamb
And the riches of this world I shall
not claim
For I will speak Your name
Bridge:
Well why can't You answer in words I understand
And I
can't make sense of all Your plans
I will still speak Your name
Repeat Chorus
I'll speak Your name, speak Your name, speak Your name

Chorus:
Never say goodbye (never say (no), we'll never say
no)
Never say goodbye (we'll never say (no), we'll never say
no)
(We'll) Never say goodbye (never say goodbye)
When the journey's
over (never say (no), we'll never say no)
We won't have to
cry (we'll never say (no), we'll never say no)
Cause we'll never
say goodbye (never say goodbye)
Down here below the trials come and they beat me down everyday (trials
everyday)
But we know that a day will come when the Savior will take us
away (take us all away)
Where we'll...

I've got friends and they don't know that Jesus is the way (Jesus is

It's up to me to make it known that there will come a day
(there will come a day)

goodbye
Repeat Chorus (x3)

Lyrics:
Chorus 1:
I call you friend
The time we spend together goes
so fast
Until the end
In Heaven we know the time will last
God brings together two people of a kind
Through stormy weather a
knot is tied that binds
The hearts of friends who need a listening
ear
A shoulder to share a fallen tear
I call you friend
Repeat Chorus 1
A friend is chosen, coincidence it seems
But hearts keep closer, the
memories they bring
Though miles will separate us, we’re never far
apart
We share a special feeling in our hearts
I call you friend
Chorus 2:
I call you friend (you can call me friend)
The
time we spend together goes so fast
Until the end
In Heaven we know
the time will last
When I feel helpless and no one can be found
His words remind me
He’ll never let me down
He picks me up when life just isn’t fair (life
is so unfair)
When hope is gone He still will hear my prayer
He
calls me friend
Repeat Chorus 1
Chorus 2:
I call you friend (I can call you friend)
Forever
in my heart you will remain
Until the end (til the very end)
In
Heaven I know we'll meet again
In Heaven I know we’ll meet again
Scriptural Reference:
"My intercessor is my friend as my eyes pour out tears to God; on behalf of a man he pleads with God as a man pleads for his friend." Job 16:20-21

Lyrics:
Chorus:
Whatcha gonna do about it? (do about it, do do about
it)
Are you gonna to worry or are you gonna to pray? (do about it, do
do about it)
Whatcha gonna do about it? (do about it, do do about
it)
Spiritual decisions made every day
Every day we travel through life deciding the path that we'll take (the
path that we'll take)
Rocky the road and narrow the way and many the
choices we make (choices we make)
When faced with a decision, standing
all alone, wondering the direction to go (which way you gonna go?)
You
know inside what you've gotta do, will you answer yes or no (no)?
Repeat Chorus
It's easy to say that we're walking in the light, fellowshipping with
the Son (fellowshipping with Christ)
Only you know the fear in the
heart when the shadow of moonlight comes (moonlight will fall)
Countin'
on His promises, trustin' in His love, it's easier said than it's done
(just trust in His love)
There's not a promise that He hasn't kept, not
a solitary one (one)
Repeat Chorus
Do about it, do do about it
Do about it, do do about it
Do about
it, do do about it
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do (do about it, do
do about it)
Whatcha gonna do, whatcha gonna do, gonna do (do about it,
do do about it)
Repeat Chorus

What will you do on the day of reckoning, when disaster comes from afar? To whom will you run for help? Where will you leave your riches?" Isaiah 10:3

Lyrics:
Chorus 1:
Well there's nothing like the feeling of
harmony
Singing with my brothers as they sing with
me
Liftin' up our praises to the King of kings
No there's nothing
like feeling of harmony
We might not be in the building or going door to door
We might not
have our Sunday suits and praise the Lord
We hope you like the
music, but pray there's something more
Liftin' up our
voices singing one accord
Chorus 2:
No there's nothing like the feeling of
harmony
Singing with my brothers as they sing with
me
Liftin' up our praises to the King of kings
You know there's
nothing like feeling of harmony
You might prefer tradition or a soulful hymn
You might not like
percussion nor to say "Amen"
But if the Lord is liften won't you join
on in
And help us sing the chorus once again
Repeat Chorus 2 (x2)

Lyrics:
I'm kind of homesick for a country
To which I've never
been before
No sad goodbyes will there be spoken
And time won't
matter anymore
Chorus:
Beulah Land, I'm longing for you
And
someday on thee I'll stand
There my home (there my home) shall be
eternal
Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land
I'm looking out across the river
To where my faith will
end in sight
There's just a few more days to labor
Then I'll take my
Heavenly flight
Repeat Chorus
Beulah Land, sweet Beulah Land
Beulah Land, I'm longing
for you
Scriptural Reference:
"No longer will they call you Deserted, or name your land Desolate. But you will be called Hephzibah, and your land Beulah; for the LORD will take delight in you, and your land will be married." Isaiah 62:4

Lyrics:
A good man's gonna say good things, from His heart they're gonna come
out
An evil man's gonna say bad things, you know what I'm talking
about
Chrous:
Every idle word you say (every word you say)
He's gonna
ask you, "Why, why, why"
You'll give an account on judgement day
(judgement day)
So if you're tempted to talk, head for the
door and just walk away
A slip of the tongue can be deadly, cut your brother right to the
heart
You might not be the one speakin', but if you're still taking
part
Repeat Chorus
God's given us the gift of speech, so don't be puttin' down
(down)
Just use it wisely and you'll see that we can wear a crown
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Walk away, walk away
Scriptural Reference:
"'If you keep your feet from breaking the Sabbath and from doing as you please on my holy day, if you call the Sabbath a delight and the LORD's holy day honorable, and if you honor it by not going your own way and not doing as you please or speaking idle words, then you will find your joy in the LORD, and I will cause you to ride on the heights of the land and to feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob.' The mouth of the LORD has spoken." Isaiah 58:13-14

Lyrics:
I've a request to make if I could dear Lord
It makes me ache to see
the way we quarrel
We've got so much to do
We've got to tell the
world about you (we've got to tell the world)
And if you could only see
us through tomorrow
Chorus:
We've got brothers fighting brothers
And sisters who
don't even talk
I know it's not the way You planned our walk together
here
We've got to help each other or we're never gonna make it
there
I'm begging You please (begging You please), on my knees (on my
knees)
Humbly
We're fighting over little things, it's doing nobody good
Why can't
we stop judging one another
It comes down to love
And being more
like You
So that we can all be one and love each other
Bridge:
Jesus wept over Jerusalem and I'm crying out today
I
don't what else I can do but pray
Repeat Chorus
While we fight amongst ourselves the whole world goes by (keeps passing
by)
And most of them don't know the name of Jesus (Jesus)
It's got
to start with you
And it's got to start with me
I'm begging you
please
Humbly

Lyrics:
Chorus:
Create a change in me that I might live life free from all
that entangles
Creator of life, this is my plea, create a change in
me
I don't know what posseses my soul when I find myself acting this
way
All I know is that a change must occur and I'm on my knees to
say
Repeat Chorus
When I'm home with the ones I love Satan catches me off guard
Lord
forgive all the times that I've hurt them, cutting them to the heart
Repeat Chorus
At my job I want people to know of the love You have for me
Not to
boast except for the cross and how it has set me free
Repeat Chorus
You are the God of second chances (chances)
That's what I ask of You
today
I'm requesting...
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Creator of life, this is my plea, create a change in me

Lyrics:
Woke up Sunday morning, I looked at the time
Wake up, Honey, it’s
almost twenty past nine
And we’re late (you're late, you're late)
for Sunday school
I’ve got those Satan’s been riding me so hard
blues
Got into the car, everything seemed fine
Looked at my speedometer I
was doing ninety-nine
And it’s so hard (too fast, too fast), see the
lights in my rearview mirror
Well Satan’s out to get you brother,
so you better take care
Sitting along side the road, policeman says "hi"
Look and there’s my
elders and my deacons driving by
And it’s so hard (got caught, got
caught), wish I knew what to do
I’ve got those Satan’s
been riding me so hard blues
Finally got to church, headed for my assigned pew
Looked and there’s
a visitor sitting where I’m supposed to
And it’s so hard (get off my
pew), don’t know what I’m going to do (how 'bout you?)
I’ve got those
Satan’s been riding me so hard blues
Preacher started preaching, on his topic that day
Talking about
gossip as he looked my way
And it’s so hard (paranoia, paranoia),
'bout to drive me insane
Well when it comes to that tongue
brother, you better keep a tight rein
Now listen to me now, I know what I'm talking about
Invitation was given, thirty stood for the call
Instead
of going forward they headed to the mall
And it’s so hard
(shopping shopping, shopping shopping), what am I gonna
do
I’ve got those Satan’s been riding me so hard blues
Now wait a minute...
Well I’ve got a Savior, He bled and he died
(that's right)
He’s always standing, right here by my side
And
I’m gonna serve Him, until the day that I die (that's my
Jesus)
Then He’s going to take me to that mansion in the sky
And
it’s so easy (hallelujah, hallelujah), I know what I’m going to
do
I’m gonna serve my Lord...How about you?
