1. Ascension 5:32
I am the Lord, I am calling you.
Death isn't finished, rise from your sleep!
Judgement day has come!
You will be delivered,
If your name is written in the book of life.
2. From Dust To Dust 3:56
I turned my thoughts to consider
Wisdom, madness and folly
The wise and the fool, who am I?
What do I gain by being wise?
The same fate get us all
Death doesn't ask for wisdom
All come from dust
And to dust all return
Like the fool, the wise too must die
With wisdom comes much sorrow
The more knowledge the more grief
To apply myself to wisdom
Is a chasing after wind
I saw that wisdom is better than folly
As light is better than darkness
The wise man has eyes in his head
The fool walks in darkness
The same fate get us all
Death doesn't ask for wisdom
All come from dust
And to dust all return
Like the fool, the wise too must die
3. True Wisdom 6:11
Whatever exists has already been named
The more the words, the less the meaning
And how does it gain anyone?
All this is tested by wisdom and said:
"I am determined to be wise!"
But wisdom was beyond me
Whatever wisdom may be
Too deep for us, too hard to understand
No one controls the wind
No one chooses their day of death
In time of war no one escapes
Evil will not save the wicked
Who is like the wise man?
He who knows what wisdom is
To love and fear God
The Author and Creator
4. The Riddle 2:45
Now we look like in a mirror, in a riddle
Then we are going to see face-to-face
Ultimate knowledge, not of this world
We just see one side of the truth
What is the burden the man in the mirror bears?
Why a tear in his eye?
If we could know what we could really be
Wouldn't we break down and cry?
The wise man bends reality
To know the sacred
What would it look like on the other side
If we could reach out, what would we see
Honestly, what is really to be?
What is the burden the man in the mirror bears?
Why a tear in his eye?
If we could know what we could really be
Wouldn't we break down and cry?
5. Truth Misunderstood 3:59
I ask what is the truth?
Sweet, little words to my ear?
I ask what is the truth?
Spreading the seeds of death?
I ask what is the truth?
Accepting their lies, twisted into truth?
No one calls for justice
No one pleads his case with integrity
They rely on empty arguments
And speak their lies
Friend deceives friend
And no one speaks the truth
They have taught their tongues to lie
They weary themselves with sinning
I ask what is the truth?
Sweet, little words to my ear?
I ask what is the truth?
Spreading the seeds of death?
I ask what is the truth?
Accepting their lies, twisted into truth?
Their throats are open graves
Their tongues practice deceit
The arrogant cannot stand
Declare them guilty, God!
Let God be true, and every man a liar
'Cause war is in his heart
His words are drawn swords
I ask what is the truth?
Sweet, little words to my ear?
I ask what is the truth?
Spreading the seeds of death?
I ask what is the truth?
Accepting their lies, twisted into truth?
I ask what is the truth?
Sweet, little words to my ear?
I ask what is the truth?
Spreading the seeds of death?
I ask what is the truth?
Accepting their lies, twisted into truth?
6. No One 4:05
No one's eye has seen, no one's ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared
For those who love him
But God has revealed it to us by his spirit
Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven
Blessed are they whose sins are covered
Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against Him!
Those who were not told about him will see, and those who have not heard will understand
God of Peace will soon crush Satan under your feet
The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you
Blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiven
Blessed are they whose sins are covered
Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against Him!
7. The End Of The Age 4:45
Listen, friend, don't be deceived
Many will claim to be the One
Wars will make you confused
Nation will rise against nation
See, the day of the Lord is coming!
A cruel day with wrath and anger
See him coming to bring salvation
This is the End of the Age
Listen, brother, you will be hated:
Persecution and great distress
They drink the blood from the saints
Stand firm and you will be saved
Listen, the sun will be darkened
And the moon will not give its light
He will come down like lightning
Unexpected, like a thief in the night
8. The Voice Of Righteousness 5:39
I was the first of his works
Appointed from eternity
Before the world began
I was there when he set
The heavens in place
When he marked out the horizon
Does not wisdom call out?
Does not understanding raise her voice?
Listen, I have worthy things to say!
I open my mouth to speak what's right
I, wisdom, dwell with prudence
I possess knowledge and discretion
Counsel and judgement is mine
I have understanding and power
Wisdom is to love the Lord
To fear God, and to hate evil!
Listen to my words and be wise
Do not ignore it!
Whoever finds me finds life
But all who hate me, they love death!
9. The Just Shall Live By Faith 3:22
The veil was torn, the blood was shed
The sacrifice was made
A lamb was slain for all our sins
Outside Jerusalem
A lamb provided for our sins
By almighty God himself
Our mistakes made good again
By the child of Bethlehem
The just shall live by faith
The wicked will deny
God's calling you right now
Can't you hear him cry?
Jesus Christ, true God, true man
The ransom that was paid
From the grave he rose again
The prophecies were right
He'll deliver us from death
Eternal death in hell
No sin, disease, or pain
In heaven we will reign
The just shall live by faith
The wicked will deny
God's calling you right now
Can't you hear him cry?
