1. Intro 1:01
(Instrumental)
2. Slave To Sin 3:49
For many years I was a slave to sin. But I was thinking I am free.
I do what I want. No one has to tell me something. That was my point of view.
I lived my life by my own rules and it felt good for a while.
But everything what seems to be good in the beginning, brought in the end and nothing than dissatisfaction.
Slave to sin. Emptiness inside.
Slave to sin. Fooled by the father of lies.
I did a lot of shit and drugs became more and more important.
Self-destruction of body and mind.
So longer I live that way, so harder became the restriction.
Then I realized that I am addicted and not free.
I tried to change my life by my own. But I failed again and again.
I was not able to break out. And so I lived the life of a slave.
Slave to sin. Emptiness inside.
Slave to sin. Fooled by the father of lies.
But then came Christ into my life and he changed everything.
With his blood he breaks the chains of the restriction. Now can I live in real freedom.
Freed from slavery. By the blood of Christ.
Freed from slavery. Only he gives real life.
Freed from slavery.
Freed from slavery.
3. Buy, Consume, Die! 0:43
Get a good job, make much cash.
Buy, consume, die!
Eat, go to sleep and work a lot.
Buy, consume, die!
It's only important to come off.
Buy, consume, die!
Get a good job, make much cash.
Buy, consume, die!
Eat, go to sleep and work a lot.
Buy, consume, die!
It's only important to come off.
Buy, consume, die!
If this is the whole life, than life sucks!
4. Truth 2:29
Sin is deadly. Sin is death.
Every heart is exposed, enslaved by the enemy.
In captivity and slavery.
Sin is deadly. Sin is death.
Every heart is exposed, enslaved by the enemy.
In captivity and slavery.
Only through the blood, freedom can be received.
Not through anyone's blood.
But through the blood of the only one.
The wood is red, it is done.
But the way was rough.
The Lamb chose the way of death.
To rise as a lion, in strength and glory.
Looking at the lion, we should lay down all malice.
All dissimulation, all grudge and all slander.
If we allow the Spirit to fill us, we have the power.
To become like newborn children, seeing the light of the world for the first time.
To become a newborn creation, children of the highest.
As clean, as the dress of an untouched bride.
This should be the desire living in our hearts.
Ambition for truth.
Recognition of truth.
Keeping the truth.
5. No Religion 1:07
No dead religion. No dogmatics and traditions.
No religious system. No veneration of saints.
God wants a real relationship to us.
There happens so much which is called as Christianity,
Which has nothing to do with the will of God.
God gives new life and he will set us free from all religious lies.
Please Holy Spirit guide us more and more in truth.
Please Holy Spirit show us more and more the will of the Father.
6. Blind 1:02
Do you understand the thinking of mine?
Sometimes I wish I would be blind.
I don't have to see,
The whore on the street,
Who seduces me.
I want to be blind.
The shit on TV,
I don't have to see.
It's no more mine.
I want to be blind.
I don't see the views,
If people look at me,
I can act like I really am.
I want to be blind.
Sick pornography,
I don't have to look at this.
No more.
I wish I would be blind.
An important fact for me,
Jesus said it for mankind:
"Those who do not see may see
And who see may be blind."
So I want to be blind for the fakes in the world.
Blind for the lies and copies of the devil,
With the heart I want to see and realize true things of heaven.
So if you see with your heart,
Not only with your eyes,
You will understand,
Why the grave is empty.
7. False Unity 1:14
False unity,
Under the guise of love.
False unity,
Under the guise of love.
I will hold onto the Word of God,
Not the teaching of man.
It is the only Truth.
I give my praise only to Jesus,
Not to the pope or anyone else.
Because only he is worthy.
Without the truth there is no real love.
Without the truth there is no real unity.
8. Children Of Wrath 2:42
With thousands of pictures, people are duped.
Stories are told to fascinate and tantalize them building objects of desire, distracting from the truth, destroying relationships, turning love into a clown.
There is no satisfaction, but only inebriation and thrill taking them away for a while.
Blurred perception, obscure reality.
Leaving them with insatiable greed, a life in filth.
No longer in charge of themselves, but exposed to lack of restraint.
And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience - among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.
But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ - by grace you have been saved.
And raised us up with him
And seated us with him
In the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
So that in the coming of ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.
For by grace you have been saved through faith.
And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God!
9. Refugees 1:04
Refugees welcome!
Bring your families!
Refugees welcome!
Bring your families!
We stand on the side of those,
Who seeking refuge from war and bloodshed,
Who escape from misery and hunger.
You are welcome. Bring your families!
10. Creatures Of Habit And Fallacy 2:10
I have everything and I want more,
But can there be more than everything?
Hunger, although eating the whole time.
Thirst, although drinking the whole time.
I'm not missing anything, but that's not enough.
Total dependence from things, people, places, is the inducement waking me up every day. Thereby I think I am free.
I have everything and I want more,
But can there be more than everything?
Hunger, although eating the whole time.
Thirst, although drinking the whole time.
I'm not missing anything, but that's not enough.
Step by step on the way to a new level of dissatisfaction.
When is it over? Where is the end? What is the aim?
The fallacy called free will, lying to me again and again, showing me things I seem to need. They shall make me happy, actually forever, but this eternity lasts shortly.
You get used to everything.
The human is a creature of habit.
As always I have everything and I want more.
But can there be more than everything?
11. Masterpiece 1:45
Masterpiece.
What about your identity?
Are you interested who are we?
Who am I?
What's the value of me?
I believe,
That you are a masterpiece,
Created deliberately,
With a sense for your life.
There's more than you can see.
Some people think they are greater than God,
Getting too much force,
Abusing and destroying this world.
Other people are depressed,
Thinking they have no worth.
God is too high and far away,
And they're destructing themselves.
But there's a promise here.
"When you'll seek me than you will see."
Jesus said it that we can find God,
The only way to truly love.
So God wants to be a friend,
Together with us going on our way,
On a par with you and being in relation.
He speaks to you the unique creation.
Masterpiece.
That's your identity.
You will find the answer - Who are we?
You will find yourself.
You are precious and unique.
I believe,
That you are a masterpiece,
Created deliberately,
With a sense for your life.
There's more than you can see.
12. The Death Of The Prophets Of Baal 3:31
Elijah the prophet of the Lord said to the people,
"How long shalt ye between two opinions?"
"If the Lord is God, then follow only him,"
"But if Baal is God, then follow him."
"Get two bulls for us. Let Baal's prophets choose one for themselves,"
"And let them cut it into pieces."
"Put it on wood but set no fire to it."
"I will prepare the other bull the same way."
"Then you call on the name of Baal, and I will call on the name of the Lord."
"The one who answers with fire is the living God."
All the people said, "What you say is good."
And the prophets of Baal did like Elijah said to them.
Then they called on the name of Baal from morning till noon.
But there was no response; no one answered.
At noon Elijah began to taunt them. "Shout louder!" he said.
"Maybe he is sleeping and must be awakened."
So they shouted louder and slashed themselves with swords and spears, until their blood flowed.
Then Elijah said to the people, "Come here to me."
And he repaired the altar of the Lord, which had been torn down.
He arranged the wood, cut the bull into pieces and laid it on the wood.
Then he said to them, "Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the offering."
And so they did.
"This is not enough," he said. "Do it two times more."
And they did like he said to them.
At the time of sacrifice, Elijah prayed.
"Lord, answer me, so these people will know that you are God
And that you are turning their hearts back again."
Then fire fell and burned up the sacrifice and the whole altar.
When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, "The Lord alone is God!"
Then Elijah commanded them, "Seize the prophets of Baal. Don't let them get away!"
They seized them Elijah brought them to Kishon Valley and slaughtered them there.

13. Turn Back 2:47
Turn back!
Turn back and follow Christ.
Let all the shit behind and start a new life.
Take the chance, now is the time to return.
This godless world wants to fool you.
Wants to bring you down.
Full of lies and full of hate.
It will bring you nothing than eternal death!
This is not what you are made for.
Come and take the salvation God wants to give you.
Christ will set you free,
And makes everything new if you want it.

1. Fulfill The Law 3:16
Do not think that I have come to abolish
The Law or the Prophets;
I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear,
Not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen,
Will by any means disappear from the Law
Until everything is accomplished.
Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these
Commands and teaches others accordingly
Will be called least in the kingdom of heaven,
But whoever practices and teaches these commands
Will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses
That of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law,
You will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.
Do not think that I have come to abolish
The Law or the Prophets;
I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them
2. Salt And Light 1:43
Salt and light. Salt and light.
You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste,
How shall its saltiness be restored?
It is no longer good for anything except
To be thrown out and trampled under people's feet.
You are the light of the world.
A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.
Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket,
But on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house.
In the same way, let your light shine before others,
So that they may see your good works
And give glory to your Father who is in heaven.
See your good works and give glory
To your Father who is in heaven
3. Conciliation 3:19
'You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgement.'
But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgement.
Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, 'Raca,' is answerable to the court.
And anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.
Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you,
Leave your gift there in front of the altar.
First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.
Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court.
Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown in prison.
Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny.
Until you have paid the last penny.
'You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgement.'
4. Abundance 3:38
You have heard that it was said,
'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.
Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'
But I tell you, do not resist an evil person.
If anyone slaps you on the right cheek,
Turn to them the other cheek also.
And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt,
Hand over your coat as well.
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles.
Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away
From the one who wants to borrow from you.
But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
That you may be children of your Father in heaven.
He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good,
And sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
If you love those who love you, what reward will you get?
Are not even the tax collectors doing that?
And if you greet only your own people,
What are you doing more than others?
Do not even pagans do that?
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
5. The Highest Order 2:05
You think you're good, because you don't do wrong
But without love all of this means nothing.
You don't lie. You don't steal. You don't murder. You don't commit adultery.
The most important one is this: The Lord, our God, the Lord is one!
Love the Lord your God with all your heart
And with all your soul and with all your mind
And with all your strength.
The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself.
There is no command greater than these.
Without love all of this means nothing.
Love your God. Love your neighbor. Love yourself.
Love your God. Love your neighbor. Love yourself. Love your neighbor.
Love your God. Love your neighbor. Love yourself. Love your neighbor.
6. Don't Be A Fool 4:00
Darkness. Sin divided us from God.
Separation. Life and death.
Joy and sorrow. Good and bad.
The world turned into darkness.
Sin divided us from God.
Separation. Life and death.
Joy and sorrow. Good and bad.
The world turned into darkness.
But there is hope.
I was sent by my heavenly Father to bring hope and light.
Restoration for the broken ones. I'm here for the sick and broken ones.
Not for the pride people. Not for the ones who think they're wise.
I call fire down. The fire that will consume you.
The holy fire completely what purifies your heart.
It burns everything that purifies your heart.
It burns everything that not pleases God.
Let the holy fire completely consume you.
Let the holy fire completely consume you.
Only a fool would resist this grace.
Only a fool would deny this gift of eternal life.
Only a fool would resist this grace.
Only a fool would deny this gift of eternal life.
Open your heart and let me in. I will turn your whole world upside down.
Lay everything down and say "Yes."
I'm the one who died for you.
I am the one who rose up from death.
I'm the one who died for you.
I am the one who rose up from death.
There is not turning back. There is no turning back.
There is not turning back. There is no turning back.
Only a fool would deny this grace.
Only a fool would deny the love of my heavenly Father.
Only a fool would deny this grace.
Only a fool would deny the love of my heavenly Father.

7. You Won't Relent (Misty Edwards cover) 4:56
You own't relent until you have it all
My heart is yours
You own't relent until you have it all
My heart is yours
I'll set you as a seal upon my heart
As a seal upon my arm
For there is love that is as strong as death
Jealousy, demanding as the grave
Many waters cannot quench this love
You own't relent until you have it all
My heart is yours
You own't relent until you have it all
My heart is yours
I'll set you as a seal upon my heart
As a seal upon my arm
For there is love that is as strong as death
Jealousy, demanding as the grave
Many waters cannot quench this love
Waters cannot quench this love
You won't relent until you have it all
My heart is yours
Waters cannot quench this love
You won't relent until you have it all
My heart is yours
Come be the fire inside of me
Come be the flame upon my heart
Come be the fire inside of me
Until you and I are one
