My Hiding Place (album, December 24, 2023, Abran Records) (Digital)

1. My Hiding Place 9:13
Blessed is the one
Whose transgressions are forgiven
Whose sins are covered
Blessed is the one
Whose sin the Lord does not count against them
And in whose spirit is no deceit

When I kept silent
My bones wasted away
Through my groaning
All day long

For day and night
Your hand was heavy on me
My strength was sapped
As in the heat of summer
Then I acknowledged my sin to you
And did not cover up my iniquity

I said, "I will confess
My transgressions to the Lord"
And you forgave
The guilt of my sin

Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
While you may be found
Surely the rising of the mighty waters
Will not reach them
You are my hiding place
You surround me with songs of deliverance

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go
I will counsel you with my loving eye on you

Many are the woes of the wicked
But the Lord's unfailing love
Surrounds the one
Who trusts in him
Rejoice in the Lord
And be glad, you righteous
Sing, all you who are
Upright in heart!

2. Silence My Enemies 8:36
Lord, hear my prayer
Listen to my cry for mercy
In your faithfulness and righteousness
Come to my relief

Do not bring your servant
Into judgment
For no one living is righteous
Before you

The enemy pursues me
He crushes me to the ground
He makes me dwell in the darkness
Like those long dead

So my spirit grows faint
Within me
My heart within me is
Dismayed

I remember
The days of long ago
I meditate on all your works
And consider what your hands have done

I spread out my hands to you
I thirst for you like a parched land
Answer me quickly, Lord
My spirit fails

Do not hide your face from me
Or I will be like those who go down to the pit
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love
For I have put my trust in you

Show me the way
I should go
For to you
I entrust my life

Rescue me
From my enemies, Lord
For I hide myself
In you

Teach me to do your will
For you are my God
May your good Spirit
Lead me on level ground

For your name's sake, Lord
Preserve my life
In your righteousness
Bring me out of trouble

In your unfailing love
Silence my enemies
Destroy all my foes
For I am your servant

Teach me to do your will
For you are my God
May your good Spirit
Lead me on level ground

3. The Rain And The Snow 9:08
Seek the Lord while he may be found
Call on him while he is near

Let the wicked forsake their ways
And the unrighteous their thoughts
Let them turn to the Lord
And he will have mercy on them

For my thoughts are not your thoughts
Neither are your ways my ways

As the rain and the snow come down from heaven
And do not return to it without watering the earth
So that it yields seed for the sower
And bread for the eater

So is my word that goes out from my mouth
It will not return to me empty
But will accomplish what I desire
And achieve the purpose for which I sent it

As the heavens are higher than the earth
So are my ways higher than your ways

You will go out in joy
And be led forth in peace
The mountains and hills
Will burst into song before you
And all the trees of the field
Will clap their hands

Come, all you who are thirsty
Come to the waters
Give ear and come to me
Listen, that you may live

You will go out in joy
And be led forth in peace
This will be
For the Lord's renown
For an everlasting sign
That will endure forever

Come, all you who are thirsty
Come to the waters
Give ear and come to me
Listen, that you may live

4. The Prayer Of The Destitute 13:02
Hear my prayer, Lord
Let my cry for help come to you
Do not hide your face from me
When I am in distress

Turn your ear to me
When I call, answer me quickly
For my days vanish
Like smoke
My bones burn
Like glowing embers
My heart is blighted and
Withered like grass

I lie awake; I have become
Like a bird alone on a roof
All day long my enemies taunt me
Those who rail against me use my name as a curse

For I eat ashes as my food
And mingle my drink with tears because of your great wrath

My days are like the evening shadow
I wither away like grass, but you, Lord, sit enthroned forever

You will arise and have compassion on Zion
For it is time to show favor to her

The nations will fear the name of the Lord
All the kings of the earth will revere your glory
For the Lord will rebuild Zion
And appear in his glory

He will respond to the prayer of the destitute
He will not despise their plea
Let this be written for a future generation
That a people not yet created may praise the Lord

The Lord looked down from his sanctuary on high
From heaven he viewed the earth

To hear the groans of the prisoners
And release those condemned to death

In the course of my life
He broke my strength

He cut short my days, so I said:
Do not take me away, my God, in the midst of my days

Your years go on through all generations
You laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands

They will perish, but you remain
They will all wear out like a garment

Your years go on through all generations
You laid the foundations of the earth

And the heavens are the work of your hands
They will perish, but you remain

They will all wear out like a garment
Like clothing you will change them

And they will be discarded but you remain the same
And your years will never end

The children of your servants
Will live in your presence

Their descendants will be
Established before you

5. The Strength Of My Heart 6:27
Surely God is good to those
Who are pure in heart
But as for me, my feet had almost slipped
I had nearly lost my foothold

For I envied
The arrogant
When I saw
The prosperity of the wicked

Pride
Is their necklace
They clothe themselves
With violence

From their callous hearts comes iniquity
Their evil imaginations have no limits
They scoff, and speak with malice
They threaten oppression

Their mouths lay claim
To heaven
And their tongues take
Possession of the earth

They say
"How would God know?"
This is what
The wicked are like

Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure
And have washed my hands in innocence
If I had spoken out like that
I would have betrayed your children

Till I entered the sanctuary of God
Then I understood their final destiny
Surely you cast them down to ruin
How suddenly are they destroyed

I am always with you
You hold me by my right hand
Whom have I in heaven but you?
God is the strength of my heart forever

Demo (April 16, 2023, Independent) (Digital)

1. Generation Outrageous 1:33
Purge this plague
Wipe out the impious
Lovers of sin
Satan's infamous
From Babylon rises
Generation outrageous
Ill and sick with sin
And for us, contagious
Bringing imposition
And trying to make us
Deny your lordship
Your holiness righteous

Cleanse us from evil
Build us the path
Saves us from ourselves
As we walk towards death
Guide us the way
Of no turning back
Only you can save us
To firm all our steps
Save us by your love
From the impending wrath
Give us your justice
As we guard your precept

2. Louvor II (Praise Song 2) 1:12
Cantai a Deus
Em alta voz, cantai!
Soberano criador
Eterno redentor
Teu povo te adora
Grande são as tuas obras

Ao Pai celeste
A Jesus, Seu Filho
Ao Seu Santo Espírito
Ao Deus triuno
Teu amor, Tua justiça
Hão de prevalecer!

3. The Good Deeds Of Jesus 1:45
Guarding the will
Of sinful evil
Plague, disease
And an eternity in
Darkness and fires
Are coming for you
Unless for the good
The good deeds of Jesus

Unless - for the - good
The good - deeds of - Jesus

No chances for self salvation
A hellish way is where I roam

4. Hipócritas 1:38
Corro pra longe de vocês
Tento me esconder de vocês
Finjo não ver vocês

Sempre tudo é pecado
Tudo está errado

Tudo na vida tá danado
Por vocês
A sua seita nos condena aqui

Pensam que sabem
Mas de nada conhecem

Vejam como Ele viveu
Vejam como Ele morreu
Sua história nos mostra como deve ser




Abyss' Tentacles (single, April 21, 2023, Independent) (Digital)

1. Abyss' Tentacles 3:08
Existential void
Like an asteroid
Big and deadly
Transcendental

A void as the size of God
No other way to fill it
Abyss' tentacles lurks for you
From the void he will feast

Nietzsche has proclaimed
Schopenhaur agreed
Camus confirmed
The life has no meaning

But they were wrong
Jesus is the way
Everything else is illusion
Only God's salvation is real

Existential void
Like an asteroid
Big and deadly
Transcendental

A void as the size of God
No other way to fill it
Abyss' tentacles lurks for you
From the void he will feast




Demo II (July 9, 2023, Independent) (Digital)

1. The Holy Spirit 1:34
By faith alone, He is here
By Father's grace, He is sent

The Spirit of God is here
Turning this place His holy ground
Flowing with river of life
And fulfilling repentful hearts

Confirms Jesus's deeds
The Holy Spirit is here

Making perfect our deeds
Carrying all our prayers
Convicting and converting
The Holy Spirit is here

2. Louvor I (Praise Song I) 1:30
Criador, salvador!
Soberano, e perfeito!

A honra, a glória
A adoração e louvor

Louvai ao Senhor Deus
Elevado seja Teu nome
Bendito Espírito redentor
Inclinamos nossas vidas a Ti
Digno é o Senhor Jesus
O Deus único e verdadeiro
Não há outro além de Ti
Pois Tu és o supremo Deus

3. My Enemy 1:05
Help me my Lord
The faithful men
The loyal ones
Has vanished away
Rescue me, oh Lord
And protect me
From the violent
And the evildoers
So, burn in hell
My enemy
For damned he is
With evil and sin

He is with me
Under my skin
Inside my mind
Walking my steps
Vile impurity
And depravity
Stains my heart
For I am my worst ENEMY!!!!

4. Louvor III (Praise Song III) 1:22
Nosso Deus é soberano
Todo poderoso
Ele é o Senhor da história
Infalível é
Deus santo e Deus forte
Maravilhoso
Desde a fundação do mundo
O governa

Nos salvou
Por Jesus
Perfeita é
Sua justiça
Seu amor
Inigualável
Só Ele é Deus

Todo joelho
Se dobrará
Toda língua
Confessará
Jesus Cristo
É o Senhor
Em breve voltará

5. I Am 3:01
I am infinite, I am eternal, I am uncaused
I am all good, I am all worthy, I am ever just
I'm self-existent, I'm self-sufficient, I'm impeccable
I am gracious, I am merciful, I am love

I am only one, I am righteous, I am sovereign
I am the way, I am the truth, I am the life
I'm omnipotent, I'm omnipresent, I'm omniscient
I am holy, I am holy, I am holy

I am the
God of Abraham
God of Isaac
And God of Jacob
I will be with you
All the way
I am
Who I am

Believe me
A time is coming
When you will
Worship the Father
Neither here
On this mountain
Nor there
In Jerusalem

And this time has come
The true worshipers
Worships the Father
In the Spirit and in truth
And Messiah has come
He explains everything
And proclaims His gospel
For I am He
I AM HE




The Death Of Death (single, August 17, 2023, The Charon Collective) (Digital)

1. The Death Of Death 2:31
Invincible enemy
For humanity
Nobody defeated
Nobody survived

Until the avenger
Came into the world
To eliminate
The strong opponent

(The death of death)
In the resurrection of Christ
(The death of death)
In the resurrection of Christ

Premeditated murder
No chance of escape
Refinements of cruelty
No dialog or mercy

The death died of fear
When we saw Jesus rise
Dead and buried forever
And you're now free

(The death of death)
In the resurrection of Christ
(The death of death)
In the resurrection of Christ

Washed by blood
Saved by Christ
There is no death
There is no more cry

(The death of death)
In the resurrection of Christ
(The death of death)
In the resurrection of Christ

Carrion

Rotting smell
Invades the premises
It is your nature
And it is your instincts
You are a sinful being
Since the day you were born
Selfishness is the rule
Of a so cruel mind

Carrion
Inside you smell like...
Carrion
Inside I stink like...
Carrion
All of us reek of...
Carrion
Without Jesus, we're all...
Carrion

If you think you're any good
Just because you're a Christian
You are so living
The biggest illusion
You are a being
Lacking in any light
And if you do any good
It is so because of Jesus

Carrion
Inside you smell like...
Carrion
Inside I stink like...
Carrion
All of us reek of...
Carrion
Without Jesus, we're all...

Buried Yesterday (single, December 21, 2023, The Charon Collective) (Digital)

1. Buried Yesterday 3:46
Whispers of a past
Long gone
A life of sin

But the call it comes
From within
Promise of salvation

For in the scriptures
It was said
Die to yourself

The key to life
Paradoxical
Die to live

Buried yesterday
Rise anew
Reborn in spirit
Buried yesterday
Die to the world
Born of grace

For in the scriptures
It was said
Die to yourself

The key to life
Paradoxical
Die to live

Buried yesterday
Rise anew
Reborn in spirit
Buried yesterday
Die to the world
Born of grace

Sealed With Blood (album)

March 18, 2023, Independent (Digital)
October 12, 2023, Coleiosis Records (CD-RDigital)

1. SDG, Pt. I 2:57
Bearing shame and scoffing rude
In my place condemned He stood
Sealed my pardon with His blood
Hallelujah, what a Saviour!

2. C.J. (The Name) 6:21
2000 years ago there lived a man - he said he was the Messiah
But he was put to death - was he a liar?
Long before of this Isaiah foretold the coming of a man
And his sacrifice to redeem mankind  from sin and death

The Christ - Jesus

At the cross he died - dead
Down into the grave - burial

Salvation is to be found through him alone
There is no one else whom God has given who can save us
Everyone who calls out to the Lord for help will be saved

The tomb is empty - resurrection
Back to life - Easter

He is the way, He is the truth and the life
No one goes to the Father, except by Him
Switch on your head, realize - He is God
Come to Him before it's too late

The Christ - Jesus

Back to the Father - ascension
His reign has begun - glory

3. A Mighty Fortress 6:05
A mighty fortress is our God
A bulwark never failing
Our helper he, amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing

For still our ancient foe
Does seek to work us woe
His craft and power are great
And armed with cruel hate
On earth is not his equal

Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
Were not the right Man on our side
The Man of God's own choosing

You ask who that may be?
Christ Jesus, it is he
Lord Sabaoth his name
From age to age the same
And he must win the battle

And though this world, with devils filled
Should threaten to undo us
We will not fear, for God has willed
His truth to triumph through us

The prince of darkness grim
We tremble not for him
His rage we can endure
For lo! his doom is sure
One little word shall fell him

That Word above all earthly powers
No thanks to them abideth
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through him who with us sideth

Let goods and kindred go
This mortal life also
The body they may kill
God's truth abideth still
His kingdom is forever!

4. Until The Day I Die 4:50
Life is short, and not always good
Things, that happen, put a damper on your mood
Death, despair and fear
Corruption and war are near
Violence and pain
All over the world it's the same

This world is lost, can't you see
But there's a way out, listen to me
Christ has shown the way to another dimension
Follow Him, give Him attention

I have decided to obey Your laws until the day I die

Poverty and luxury found in all centuries
False joy and regret, things, you can't forget
I'm weak, what can I do? I fall on my knees, pray to you
Can't even help myself, God, give me strength

Living in fear ain't living in me
I trust in God and live my life free
Doesn't matter, what people say
I follow Him, until the day I die

I believe in the sun, seven if it doesn't shine
I believe in love, even if I don't feel
I believe in God, even if He keeps silence

Decide today, whom you serve
As for my family and me, we will serve the Lord until the day we die
I have decided to obey Your laws until the day I die

5. All Day Long 6:05
Open my eyes to see
Give me wisdom and knowledge
With all my heart I call to You
Answer me, Lord

Like fresh water - all day long
Like the daily meal - all day long
Like my breath - all day long
I need You - all day long

Don't hide yourself from me, I put my trust in You
My prayer goes up to You, show me the way I should go

Help me understand your laws
Keep me from going the wrong way
Don't let me be put to shame
You are all I want, o Lord

Like fresh water - all day long
Like the daily meal - all day long
Like my breath - all day long
I need You - all day long

I lift up my hands in prayer, like dry ground my soul is thirsty for You
Answer me now, Lord! I have lost all hope

You are all around me on every side, You protect me with Your power

Like fresh water - all day long
Like the daily meal - all day long
Like my breath - all day long
I need You - all day long

6. The World Of The Dead 5:27
Living in a world of living dead, deepest darkness in your head
Making your own decisions, not asking God
You think that's life, it's your death

Real life only comes from God, life without Him your way to hell
Eternal damnation, what a waste, but with God hell I won't taste

Christ came into this world to set us free, but it doesn't matter much to thee
Just two ways - up or down, eternal darkness or joy and fun

You must decide, no time to waste, come to Him, to Jesus Christ
Read the Bible, the Word of God, offer your life or you will rot

Whoever does not have his name written in the book of the living
Will be thrown into the lake of fire

Our God is a God who saves
He is the Lord, who rescues from death

Into the darkness shines a light, with Christ's power we will fight
In his kingdom we will rule, leave your ways or are you a fool?

Stand up for Christ, renew your mind, real life you will find
We are God's children, He is our dad, come to Him or you'll stay dead

Come out of this world of the dead!
Come out of darkness
Come to Jesus Christ
Come to life

7. Holy 6:35
Holy, the Lord Almighty is
Holy, His glory fills the world
Holy, He is the only one
Holy, and He alone

Our ancestors put their trust in You
They trusted You, and You saved them
Your laws are eternal, Lord
And Your temple is holy, forever and ever

O Lord, my Lord
Your greatness is seen in all the world
You set the earth in place
When I look to the sky, which you have made
At the moon and the stars, which You set in their places

What is man, that You think of him
Mere man, that You care for him
We are only dust, but You will give us life

The Lord is my light and my salvation
I will fear no one 'cause the Holy Lord is by my side

Holy, is the Lord God Almighty
Holy, who was
Holy, who is
Holy, who is to come

Be holy, 'cause He is holy
God did not call us to live in immortality, but in holiness
Even if I go through the deepest darkness
I will not be afraid, Lord, for You are with me

8. Back To The Roots 5:17
This is the message from the Amen; the faithful and true witness
Who is the origin of all that God has created

He knows what you have done, He knows that you are neither cold nor hot
How He wishes you were either one or the other
But because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold
He is going to spit you out, out of His mouth

You say, "I am rich and well off, I have all I need."
But you do not know how miserable and pitiful you are
You are poor, naked and blind

Back to the roots; back to the roots
Back to Jesus Christ; the foundation of belief

Listen! He stands at the door and knocks
If anyone hears His voice and opens the door
He will come into his house and eat with him
And he will eat with Him

To those who win the victory He will give the right to sit beside Him on His throne
Just as He has been victorious and now sits by His Father on His throne

Back to the roots; back to the roots
Back to Jesus Christ; the foundation of belief

If you have ears, then listen to what the Spirit says to the churches

9. Fight For Faith 6:12
All authority in heaven and earth Has been given to Him
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations
Baptizing and teaching to obey everything He has commanded you
And surely He is with you always, to the very end of the age

So then, my dear brothers, stand firm and steady
Run your best in the race of faith
Fight on for the faith
This is the victory of God's people

Don't be afraid of your enemies
Always be courageous and this will prove to them
That they will lose and that you will win
Because it is God who gives you the victory

Where, death, is your victory
Where, death, is your power to hurt
You can only win a few battles
But the war you have lost

Stand firm with one common purpose and that with only one desire
We are fighting together for the faith of the gospel

Lift up your tired hands and strengthen your trembling knees
Keep walking on straight paths, the Lord is our strength

10. Love Is... Pt. I 4:52
He was so disfigured that He hardly looked human
He had no dignity or beauty
There was nothing attractive about Him
We despised Him and rejected Him
He endured suffering and pain
We ignored Him as if He were nothing

But He endured the suffering that should have been ours
The pain that we should have borne
Because of our sins He was wounded

Beaten because of the evil we did
The Lord made the punishment fall on Him
The punishment all of us deserved

For you, He has done all this for you

He was treated harshly, but endured it humbly
He never said a word
Like a lamb about to be slaughtered, like a sheep about to be sheared
He never said a word

It was God's will that He should suffer
His death was a sacrifice to bring forgiveness

For you, He has done all this for you

God's devoted servant, with whom He is pleased
Will bear the punishment of many and for His sake
He will forgive...you!

For me, He has done all this for me
For me, He has done all this for me

11. Love Is... Pt. II 3:05
For God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son
So that everyone who believes in Him may not die but have eternal life

Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever disobeys the Son will not have life
But will remain under God's punishment

1. When Jesus Comes In Glory 6:36
When Jesus comes in glory
As Lord and King of Kings
O what a wondrous story
The blessed Bible brings
His face will shine like sunlight
His head be white as snow
His eyes like flaming firelight
His feet like brass aglow

His voice like rushing waters
Will reach with mighty sound
Into the deepest quarters
Of all creation round
And at this wondrous greeting
The dead in Christ shall rise
Their Lord and Savior meeting
In glory to the skies

And we who are believing
And His appearing love
Shall know we are receiving
His glory from above
His resurrection power
Will raise us to the place
Where we that wondrous hour
Shall see Him face-to-face

When Jesus comes in glory
As Lord and King of Kings
O what a wondrous story
The blessed Bible brings
His face will shine like sunlight
His head be white as snow
His eyes like flaming firelight
His feet like brass aglow

O hasten Thine appearing
Thou bright and morning star!
Lord, may we soon be hearing
The trumpet sound afar
Thy people are all yearning
To be Thy raptured bride
And at Thine own returning
Be caught up at Thy side

2. SDG, Pt. II 3:02
"...and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness!"
(Hebrews 9:22)

3. Father, Lead Them Day By Day 5:02
Father, lead them day by day
Ever in Thine own sweet way
Teach them to be pure and true
Show them what they ought to do

When in danger, make them brave
Make them know that Thou canst save
Keep them safe by Thy dear side
Let them in Thy love abide

When they're tempted to do wrong
Make them steadfast, wise and strong
And when all alone they stand
Shield them with Thy mighty hand

When their work seems hard and dry
May they press on cheerily
Help them patiently to bear
Pain and hardship, toil and care

May they do the good they know
Be Thy loving child below
Then at last go home to Thee
Evermore Thy child to be

When their hearts are full of glee
Help them to remember Thee
Happy most of all to know
That their Father loves them so

Father, I consecrate my kids to you
That they might be holy through and through
I plead that they will not go astray
But to walk your everlasting way

4. Sail On 3:50
Upon a wide and stormy sea
Thou'rt sailing to eternity
And thy great admiral orders thee:
Sail on! Sail on! Sail on!

Sail on!
The storms will soon be past
Sail on!
The darkness will not last
Sail on!
God lives and He commands:
Sail on! Sail on! Sail on!

Art far from shore, and weary worn
The sky o'ercast, thy canvas torn?
Hark ye! A voice to thee is borne:
Sail on! Sail on! Sail on!

Do comrades tremble and refuse
To further dare the taunting hues?
No other course is thine to choose
Sail on! Sail on! Sail on!

Do snarling waves thy craft assail?
Art pow'rless, drifting with the gale?
Take heart! God's Word shall never fail
Sail on! Sail on!

Upon a wide and stormy sea
Thou'rt sailing to eternity
And thy great admiral orders thee:
Sail on! Sail on! Sail on!

Sail on!
The storms will soon be past
Sail on!
The darkness will not last
Sail on!
God lives and He commands:
Sail on! Sail on! Sail on!

5. Sacred Head 3:56
O sacred head once wounded
With grief and pain weigh't down
How scornfully surrounded
With thorns, Thine only crown
How art Thou pale with anguish
With sore abuse and scorn
How does that visage languish
Which one was bright as morn

O sacred head, what glory
What bliss till now was Thine
Yet, though despised and gory
I joy to call Thee mine

Thy grief and Thy compassion
Were all for sinners' gain
Mine, mine was the transgression
But Thine the deadly pain

Upon the cross of Jesus
Mine eye at times can see
The very dying form of one
Who suffered there for me
And from my smitten heart, with tears
Two wonders I confess
The wonder of His glorious love
And my own worthlessness

Oh, let me see Thy footmarks
And in them plant mine own
My hope to follow duly
Is in Thy strength alone

Oh, guide me, call me, draw me
Uphold me to the end
And then in heaven receive me
My Saviour and my Friend

Take my life and let it be - ever only, all for Thee
Take my life and let it be - consecradet, Lord for Thee!

6. You Are My Sunshine 2:20
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
They'll never know, Lord, how much you love me
Nothing can take my sunshine away

7. 'Tis All 5:08
O Christ, I die, that thou mayst live
That thou mayst live in me
That all I think or speak or do
May be, O Lord, for thee

May not the least of self remain
But all be put to death
Oh, may I nothing do for self
Nor draw one selfish breath!

'Tis all I ask; 'tis all I wish
'Tis all my heart's desire
Content if but a wayside bush
To hold God's holy fire

To have my Savior live in me
To occupy the whole
To make my heart his royal throne
And take complete control

'Tis all I ask; 'tis all I wish
'Tis all my heart's desire
Content if but a wayside bush
To hold God's holy fire

Low at thy feet, O Christ, I fall
A yielded lump of clay
For thee to mold me as thou wilt
To have thy own sweet way

'Tis all I ask; 'tis all I wish
'Tis all my heart's desire
Content if but a wayside bush
To hold God's holy fire

8. Passion & Devotion 4:32
Take my life, o Christ divine
Make it holy, just like Thine
Every act and thought and word
Be an outflow from my God

Guide my feet and keep my heart
Let me not from Thee depart
Let me breathe Thy warming love
That my soul be drawn above

Draw me, Jesus, closer draw
Thy strong arm around me throw
Draw me to Thy pierced side
In Thy bosom let me hide

Teach me all Thy will and word
That my life be filled with God
Teach me, Lamb of Calvary
How to live this life for Thee

Take my life, o Christ divine
Make it holy, just like Thine
Every act and thought and word
Be an outflow from my God

Lord, it belongs not to my care
Whether I die or live
To love and serve Thee is my share
And this Thy grace must give

If life be long, I will be glad
That I may long obey
If short - then why should I be sad
To soar to endless day?

9. Vanity 4:20
Meaningless, meaningless
Utterly meaningless
Nothing more, nothing less
Everything is meaningless

Generations come and generations go
But the earth remains the same
The sun rises and the sun sets
And hurries back to where it rises

All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full
To the place the streams come from, there they return again

What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again
There is nothing new under the sun

Thus the preacher says:
Meaningless, meaningless
Utterly meaningless
Nothing more, nothing less
Everything is meaningless

The wind blows to the south
And runs to the north
Round and round it goes
Ever returning on its course

The wise man, like the fool, both must die
The rich man and the poor, the same destiny

Death is the destiny of every man, the living should take this to heart
Naked a man comes from the womb, and naked he departs

Thus the preacher says:
Meaningless, meaningless
Utterly meaningless
Nothing more, nothing less
Everything is meaningless

Under the sun - without God's Son!
Under the sun - without God's Son - this life remains meaningless!

10. Maranatha 2:06
Maranatha - come, Lord Jesus, come - come soon!

1. In The Cross Of Christ I Glory 4:42
In the cross of Christ I glory
Towering o'er the wrecks of time
All the light of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime

When the woes of life o'ertake me
Hopes deceive me, and fears annoy
Never shall the cross forsake me
Lo! It glows with peace and joy

When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my way
From the cross the radiance streaming
Adds more luster to the day

Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure
By the cross are sanctified
Peace is there that knows no measure
Joys that through all time abide

In the cross of Christ I glory
Towering o'er the wrecks of time
All the light of sacred story
Gathers round its head sublime

2. His Glory I Know 4:24
Jesus came to me, and He touched my eyes
When I was blinded so
And He gave to me my perfect sight
And His glory I know

And His glory I know - Jesus touched my heart
And His glory I know - And He made me whole
And His glory I know - Jesus touched my heart
And His glory I know!

Jesus washed my life with His precious blood
I'm whiter than the snow
I am fully reconciled to God

Jesus stays with me, and He keeps my soul
Where'er I chance to go
For He cleansed my heart and made me whole
And His glory I know

And His glory I know - Jesus touched my heart
And His glory I know - And He made me whole
And His glory I know - Jesus touched my heart
And His glory I know!

Jesus will come down and will say, "Well done!"
Away with Him I'll go
And we'll fly beyond the setting sun

Jesus dwells in me, I will shout and sing
My heart is all aglow
I am looking for my glorious king

And His glory I know - Jesus touched my heart
And His glory I know - And He made me whole
And His glory I know - Jesus touched my heart
And His glory I know!

3. SDG, Pt. 3 3:08
Thou only art holy
Thou only the Lord
Truth, mercy and judgment
Shine forth in Thy Word

Thou rulest and reignest
All others above
Thy throne is eternal
Thy scepter is love

Soli Deo Gloria

Thou only art holy
In Thee is our trust
Thy laws are unchanging
Thy statutes are just

All nations and people
Before Thee shall fall
The Father, Redeemer
And Savior of all

Soli Deo Gloria

Thou only art holy
The angels in light
With prophets and martyrs
Their anthems unite

Thou only art holy
O Ancient of Days
The boundless creation
Is filled with Thy praise

Soli Deo Gloria

Thy reign everlasting
Thy kingdom divine
Henceforth and forever
All glory be Thine

Soli Deo Gloria

4. Christ Is Coming (Kings Return) 4:45
The King comes back - He will return
Back - In power and glory!

In the glow of early morning
In the solemn hush of night
Down from Heaven's open portals
Steals a messenger of light
Whispering sweetly to my spirit
While the hosts of Heaven sing
This the wondrous thrilling story

Christ is coming - Christ my king

Oft methinks I hear His footsteps
Stealing down the paths of time
And the future dark with shadows
Brightens with this hope sublime
Sound the soul inspiring anthem
Angel hosts, your harps attune
Earth's long night is almost over

Christ is coming - Coming soon

Long we've waited, blest Redeemer
Waited for the first bright ray
Of the morn when sin and sorrow
At Thy presence flee away
But our vigil's nearly over
Hope of Heav'n, oh, priceless boon!
In the east the glow appearing

Christ is coming - Coming soon

The King comes back - He will return
Back - In power and glory!

5. Prayer For My Wife 4:39
Protect her... by your mighty power
Shield her... from spiritual attack
Love her... with your eternal love
Make her... happy in your joy

Guide her... with your holy word
Give her... rest in your peace
Help her... to seek you more
Lead her... your everlasting way

Be her... strength when she is weak
Make her... strong through your love
Save her... from the sinful world
Equip her... to do your will

Build her... to your daughter in Christ
Give her... eternal hope and peace
Make her... strong in prayer and deeds
Be her... Lord and her God

Thank you LORD for sending me my wife
Next to your grace, her love is the greatest for me

Thank you, LORD, for my amazing wife!
She's a priceless gift to be treasured

You made me her husband
Help me to love her the way you do
Willing to lay down my life for her
Just the way you have done for us

Ever to encourage and never to criticise
Never lost, ever loved
Help me to love, cherish, respect, adore, and protect her
Help us to NEVER lose faith in you or give up on each other

6. Glory To The Savior 3:02
Glory, glory to the Savior!
He's my shepherd, my strength and shield!
And to Him, the King of glory
Sinful hosts shall yield

Standing by the cross of Jesus
Thro' faith His throne we see
Where amid the hosts of Heaven
The Christian's home shall be

Let me bear the cross for Jesus
And wait not by the way
Gladly I'll obey His precepts
And always trust and pray

Glory, glory to the Savior!
He's my shepherd, my strength and shield!
And to Him, the King of glory
Sinful hosts shall yield

Happy, happy Christian soldier!
Be watchful and be true
Never leave the post of duty
That Christ has giv'n to you

Let me bear the cross for Jesus
And wait not by the way
Gladly I'll obey His precepts
And always trust and pray

Glory, glory to the Savior!
He's my shepherd, my strength and shield!
And to Him, the King of glory
Sinful hosts shall yield

7. See What A Living Stone 5:08
See what a living stone
The builders did refuse
Yet God hath built His church thereon
In spite of envious Jews

The scribe and angry priest
Reject Thine only Son
Yet on this Rock shall Sion rest
Ad the chief cornerstone

The work, O Lord, is Thine
And wondrous in our eyes
This day declares it all divine
This day did Jesus rise

Hosanna to the King
Of David's royal blood
Bless Him, ye saints, He comes to bring
Salvation from your God

This is our glorious day
That our Redeemer made
Let us rejoice, and sing, and pray
Let all the church be glad

We bless Thine holy Word
Which all this grace displays
And offer on Thine altar, Lord
Our sacrifice of praise

The work, O Lord, is Thine
And wondrous in our eyes
This day declares it all divine
This day did Jesus rise

Hosanna to the King
Of David's royal blood
Bless Him, ye saints, He comes to bring
Salvation from your God

8. Hail Him The King Of Glory 5:29
Tell it to every kindred and nation
Tell it far and near
Earth's darkest night will fade with the dawning
Jesus will soon appear

Refrain
Hail Him the King of glory
Once the Lamb for sinners slain
Tell, tell the wondrous story
Jesus comes to reign

Nations again in strife and commotion
Warnings by the way
Signs in the heavens, unerring omens
Herald the glorious day

Children of God look up with rejoicing
Shout and sing His praise
Blessed are they who, waiting and watching
Look for the dawning rays

9. The Anvil Of God's Word 5:32
Last eve I paused beside the blacksmith's door
And heard the anvil ring the vesper chime
Then looking in, I saw upon the floor
Old hammers, worn with beating years of time

"How many anvils have you had," said I
"To wear and batter all these hammers so?"
"Just one," said he, and then with twinkling eye
"The anvil wears the hammers out, you know."

And so, I thought, the Anvil of God's Word
For ages skeptic blows have beat upon
Yet, though the noise of falling blows was heart
The Anvil is unharmed, the hammers gone

For the Word of God is alive and active
Sharper than any double-edged sword
It penetrates even to dividing soul, spirit, joints and marrow
It judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart

10. Forged In Fire (Anvil cover) 4:48
Scraping the Earth in search of the essence
Metallic rock ore where iron is present
Extraction smelters burn hot with phosphoresecence

Rivulets of sweat steam hot in the mold
Splashes in magenta, yellow and gold
Glowing sparks flashing too hot to hold

Made for pounding a massive weight
Forming metal, willing fate

Power blasted streams engage the injection
The mechanism reacts with affection
Processing starts and so begins infection

Altered shape, affected matter
Giving form, an ominous factor
Never break it, it will never bend
The Anvil was Forged in Fire

Made for pounding a massive weight
Forming metal, willing fate

11. Revelation (Death's Angel) (Manowar cover) 6:18
Above the wreckage of your mortal world I stand
Judgement passed delivered by his hand
Now clear the smoke, there the ashes stand
A fitting tribute to mortality and man

What was written foretold in dreams
In visions apocalypse now seen
And all self-righteous fools who lived and blasphemed
Drink the wine of his anger
Die with the beast

Vindication, he is coming on the clouds
See his angels, hear their trumpets sound
The day of anger when the stars fall from the sky
The moon turns red, the sun turns black as night

Know the end is coming, heed this sign
By the morning star the four horsemen ride

Revelation, the chosen saved
Earth be cleansed in a blaze
Armageddon, the first trumpet blows
Hail, fire and blood fall on Satan's throne

His hair as white as wool, his eyes like burning flame
He is the first and the last, he brings the seven plagues
Seven stars of seven cities in his hand
He holds the keys of death for the underworld and man

Know the end is coming, heed this sign
By the morning star the four horsemen ride

Revelation, the chosen saved
Earth be cleansed in a blaze
Armageddon, the first trumpet blows
Hail, fire and blood fall on Satan's throne




4 The King (album)

1. Christ Shall Be King 4:08
Christ shall be King of the whole wide world
He shall be King, let praises ring!
Under His banner of love unfurled
There shall be gathered the whole wide world
And Christ shall be the King

Christ shall be King over land and sea
He shall be King, let praises ring!
He who redeemed us and made us free
King of the world shall forever be
Yes, Christ shall be the King

Over all the world Christ shall be the King
Over all the world let His praises ring
Every land and nation
Shall know His great salvation
Christ shall be the King
He shall be the King

Christ shall be King in my heart today
He shall be King, let praises ring!
Over each thought and each purpose sway
All that I have shall be His alway
For Christ shall be the King

2. King Of The Ivory Palace 5:30
Down came the King from palace of white
Down to the earth, in darkest of night
Our world to sweeten, lives to make bright
King of the Ivory Palace has come!

Garments proclaiming cassia's bloom
Fragrant with aloe, myrrh's dark perfume
Ye kings and princes, prepare Him room
King of the Ivory Palace has come

How sad the world should eagerly wait
Pining, they watched the Beautiful Gate
Then turned away in anger and hate
When from the Ivory Palace He came

The King returned to Heaven again
Leaving His peace and joy with men
And would the holy Comforter send
The King of ivory palaces said

Our King said that He'll come again
We know not how, nor neither the when
Watching and waiting, we'll pray, and then
Up to the Ivory Palace ascend

Our King said that He'll come again
We know not how, nor neither the when
Watching and waiting, we'll pray, and then
Up to the Ivory Palace ascend

3. I Believe We Shall Win 4:10
We're a band that shall conquer the foe
If we fight in the strength of the King
With the sword of the Spirit, we know
We sinners to Jesus will bring

I believe we shall win
If we fight in the strength of the King
I believe we shall win
If we fight in the strength of the King

We have conquered in times that are past
And scattered the foe from the field
So we'll fight for the King to the last
And the sword of the Spirit we'll wield

Our foe may be mighty and brave
And the fighting be hard and severe
But the King is the mighty to save
And in conflict He always is near

In the name of the King we will fight
With our banners unfurled to the breeze
We will battle for God and the right
And the kingdom of Satan we'll seize

Ever true to our leader's command
We will fight in the name of the King
We shall win with the fire and the blood
And the world to His feet we shall bring

4. SDG, Pt. 4 4:00
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost
As it was in the beginning, so it is now, and for ever shall be
World without end
Amen
Amen

To him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!
Amen

God without end!
Alpha & Omega!
God without end!
Amen!

5. In The Service Of The King 5:00
I pledge my spirit loyal
To the service of the King
The privilege is royal
In the service of the King

I pledge to Him forever
My loftiest endeavor
And naught my soul shall sever
From the service of the King

In the service of the King
My sweetest songs I'll sing
While I with joy my pow'rs employ
In the service of the King

There is no joy so holy
As the service of the King
There's room for e'en the lowly
In the service of the King
If all the world but knew Him
How all would hasten to Him
And highest honor do Him
In the service of the King

In yonder realms immortal
There is service for the King
We pass the shining portal
To the service of the King

Amid the glories o'er Him
Where angel hosts adore Him
I, too, shall stand before him
In the service of the King

For the King - Hail! Hail

For the King - And his Glory!

In the service of the King
My sweetest songs I'll sing
While I with joy my pow'rs employ
In the service of the King

6. The Eternal Son 4:08
From highest Heav'n the eternal Son
With God the Father ever One
Came down to suffer and to die
For love of sinful man He bore
Our human griefs and troubles sore
Our load of guilt and misery

Rejoice, ye saints of God, and praise
The Lamb who died, His flock to raise
From sin and everlasting woe
With angels round the throne above

In darkest shades of night we lay
Without a beam to guide our way
Or hope of aught beyond the grave

From highest Heav'n the eternal Son
With God the Father ever One
From highest Heav'n the eternal Son
With God the Father ever One

Rejoice, ye saints of God, rejoice
Sing out, and praise with cheerful voice
The Lamb whom Heav'n and earth adore
To Him who gave His only Son

But He has brought us life and light
And opened Heaven to our sight
And lives forever strong to save

O tell the wonders of His love
The joys that from His mercy flow
To God the Spirit, with Them One
Be praise and glory evermore

7. The Old, Old Way 4:34
Is your hope of glory bright?
Are you walking in the light
Ever shining from the Savior's throne?
Have you gone to Him for rest
When your heart was sore oppressed?
Are you trusting in His arm alone?

Have you taken up the cross?
Do you count the world but dross
For the splendor you in Christ may see?
To His question, Who will go
And His love to sinners show
Will you answer Here am I, send me?

Are you walking in the light
In the blessed, blessed light?
Is it shining in your soul today?
With a firm abiding faith
That will triumph over death
Are you walking in the old, old way?

Tho' your foes may all unite
Will you battle for the night
And the wonders of the Lord proclaim?
Will you stand with courage brave
And the royal banner wave
Shouting vict'ry thro' the Master's name?

O the bliss of those who trust
In the only wise and just
And are looking for a home above
If your lot with them is cast
You will anchor safe at last
In the haven of eternal love

Are you walking in the light
In the blessed, blessed light?
Is it shining in your soul today?
With a firm abiding faith
That will triumph over death
Are you walking in the old, old way?

8. This Wide World For Jesus 4:12
This wide, wide world for Jesus
With all its sins and woes
Its anguish and diseases
Its sorrows and its throes

Though cursed and torn and blighted
And sunken down in gloom
God makes it, though benighted
The kingdom of His Son

Christ is our king and ruler
Our hearts shall be His throne
The Gospel's great Revealer
Shall make us all His own

We'll sing His great salvation
His triumph o'er His foes
Till desert, land, and nation
Shall blossom as the rose

Christ is our king and ruler
Our hearts shall be His throne

9. Isles Of The Deep, Rejoice! 4:04
Isles of the deep, rejoice! Rejoice!
Ye ransomed nations, sing
The praises of your Lord and God
The triumphs of your King
The triumphs of your King

He comes, and at His mighty word
The clouds are fleeting past
And o'er the land of promise see
The glory breaks at last
The glory breaks at last

There He, upon His ancient throne
His power and grace displays
While Salem with its echoing hills
Send forth the voice of praise
Send forth the voice of praise

Oh, let His praises fill the earth
While all the blest above
In strains of loftier triumph still
Speak only of His love
Speak only of His love

Sing, ye redeemed! Before the throne
Ye white-robed myriads of fall
Sing--for the Lord of glory reigns
The Christ--the heir of all
The Christ--the heir of all

Sing, ye redeemed! Before the throne
Ye white-robed myriads of fall
Sing--for the Lord of glory reigns
The Christ--the heir of all
The Christ--the heir of all

10. Cross, Crown And Throne 3:54
Sing of the cross, the wondrous cross
Sing of its grace divine
Sing of the cross, the wondrous cross
Christ our Redeemer

Saved us from sorrow and loss
Sing of the cross
Sing of its grace divine
Christ our Redeemer

Sing of the King of glory
God's well beloved Son
Honor His name (so wondrous)
Mercy proclaim
Sing of the King of glory
God's well beloved Son
O friends of Jesus
Sing on, sing on!

Sing of His crown, His royal crown
Sing of its power divine
Sing of His crown, His royal crown
King everlasting

Vainly His enemies frown
Sing of His crown
Sing of its power divine
King everlasting

Sing of the throne, the radiant throne
Throne of the King divine
Happy allegiance we own
Jesus is reigning

11. The Heavens Declare Thy Glory 4:16
The heav'ns declare Thy glory, Lord
In every star Thy wisdom shines
But when our eyes behold Thy Word
We read Thy name in fairer lines

The rolling sun, the changing light
And nights and days, thy power confess
But the blest volume Thou hast writ
Reveals Thy justice and Thy grace

Sun, moon, and stars convey Thy priase
Round the whole earth, and never stand
So when Thy truth begun its race
It touched and glanced on every land

Nor shall Thy spreading Gospel rest
Till through the world Thy truth has run
Till Christ has all the nations blest
That see the light, or feel the sun

Great Sun of Righteousness, arise
Bless the dark world with heav'nly light
Thy Gospel makes the simple wise
Thy laws are pure, Thy judgments right

Thy noblest wonders here we view
In souls renewed and sins forgiv'n
Lord, cleanse my sins, my soul renew
And make Thy Word my guide to Heav'n

12. United (Judas Priest cover) 3:38
Look around - They're moving in
Hold your ground - When they begin

We can do it
We can do it and if they wanna they can try
But they'll never get near
Then they can get out of here

Gonna keep on driving - Never stop

United, united, united we stand
United we never shall fall
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all

So keep it up - Don't give in
Make a stand - We're gonna win

We can do it
We can do it and if they wanna they can try
But they'll never get near
Then they can get out of here

Gonna keep on driving - Never stop

United, united, united we stand
United we never shall fall
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all

So keep it up

United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all

United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all
United, united, united we stand
United we stand one and all

1. Hail The Sign, The Sign Of Jesus 6:30
Hail the Sign, the Sign of Jesus
Bright and royal Tree!
Standard of the Monarch, planted
First on Calvary!

Hail the Sign all signs excelling
Hail the Sign all ills dispelling
Hail the Sign hell's power quelling
Cross of Christ, all hail!
Hail the Sign all signs excelling
Hail the Sign all ills dispelling
Hail the Sign hell's power quelling
Cross of Christ, all hail!

Sign the martyrs' strength and refuge
Sign to saints so dear!
sign of evil men abhorred
Sign which devils fear

Sign which, when the Lord returneth
In the heavens shall be
Sinners quail, while saints with rapture
Shall the vision see

Lo, I sign the cross of Jesus
Meekly on my breast
May it guard my heart when living
Dying be its rest
Lo, I sign the cross of Jesus
Meekly on my breast
May it guard my heart when living
Dying be its rest

In the name of God the Father
Name of God the Son
Name of God the blessed Spirit
Ever Three in One

Hail the Sign all signs excelling
Hail the Sign all ills dispelling
Hail the Sign hell's power quelling
Cross of Christ, all hail!

In the name of God the Father
Name of God the Son
Name of God the blessed Spirit
Ever Three in One

2. Let Me Dwell On Golgotha 5:02
Let me dwell on Golgotha
Weep and love my life away!
While I see Him on the tree
Weep and bleed, and die for me!

Hark! His dying words; Forgive
Father, let the sinner live
Sinner, wipe thy tears away
I thy ransom freely pay

While I hear this grace revealed
And obtain a pardon sealed
All my soft affections move
Wakened by the force of love

Let me dwell on Golgotha
Weep and love my life away!
While I see Him on the tree
Weep and bleed, and die for me!

Farewell world, thy gold is dross
Now I see the bleeding cross
Jesus died to set me free
From the law, and sin, and thee!

He has dearly bought my soul
Lord, accept, and claim the whole!
To Thy will I all resign
Now, no more of my own, but Thine

Let me dwell on Golgotha
Weep and love my life away!
While I see Him on the tree
Weep and bleed, and die for me!

That dear blood, for sinners spilt
Shows my sin in all its guilt
Ah, my soul, He bore thy load
Thou hast slain the Lamb of God

3. In Anger, Lord, Rebuke Me Not 5:36
In anger, Lord, rebuke me not
Withdraw the dreadful storm
Nor let Thy fury grow so hot
Against a feeble worm

My soul's bowed down with heavy cares
My flesh with pain oppressed
My couch is witness to my tears
My tears forbid my rest

In anger, Lord, rebuke me not
Withdraw the dreadful storm
Nor let Thy fury grow so hot
Against a feeble worm

Sorrow and pain wear out my days
I waste the night with cries
Counting the minutes as they pass
Till the slow morning rise

Shall I be still tormented more?
Mine eye consumed with grief?
How long, my God, how long before
Thine hand afford relief?
He hears when dust and ashes speak
He pities all our groans
He saves us for His mercy's sake
And heals our broken bones

The virtue of His sovereign Word
Restores our fainting breath
For silent graves praise not the Lord
Nor is He known in death

4. From The Depths Of Sin And Failure 4:17
From the depths of sin and failure
From despair as black as night
Lord, we hear our brothers calling
For deliverance and for light

Use us, Lord, to speed Thy kingdom
Through us may Thy will be done
Give us eyes to see the vision
Of a world redeemed and won

By the love that bore in silence
Man's contempt and Satan's dart
By the longing for the lost ones
That consumes the Savior's heart

By the Savior's blood that bought us
By the peace He merits bring
By the Spirit that constrains us
Now on earth to crown Him King

By the love
By the blood
By the peace
By the spirit

By the Son
By the grace
By the cross
By GOD!

5. SDG, Pt. 5 3:44
Carrying his own cross, he went out
To the place of the Skull

There they crucified him, and the criminals
One on his right and one on his left
At the place called the Skull

He humbled himself
And became obedient unto death
Even the death of the cross

Every tongue should confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord
To the glory of God the Father

6. Stand By Me 3:15
When the storms of life are raging
Stand by me (stand by me)
When the world is tossing me
Like a ship upon the sea
Thou who rulest wind and water
Stand by me (stand by me)

In the midst of tribulation
Stand by me (stand by me)
When the hosts of hell assail
And my strength begins to fail
Thou who never lost a battle
Stand by me (stand by me)

In the midst of faults and failures
Stand by me (stand by me)
When I do the best I can
And my friends misunderstand
Thou who knowest all about me
Stand by me (stand by me)

In the midst of persecution
Stand by me (stand by me)
When my foes in battle array
Undertake to stop my way
Thou who saved Paul and Silas
Stand by me (stand by me)

When I'm growing old and feeble
Stand by me (stand by me)
When my life becomes a burden
And I'm nearing chilly Jordon
O Thou Lily of the Valley
Stand by me (stand by me)

When the storms of life are raging
When the world is tossing me
In the midst of tribulation
When my strength begins to fail
YOU STAND BY ME

When I'm growing old and feeble
When my life becomes a burden
And I'm nearing chilly Jordan
O Thou Lily of the Valley
YOU STAND BY ME

7. Farewell, My Friends, Since We Must Part 4:36
This is my prayer to God most high
That we may gather by and by
Around the throne where angels dwell
But for a while farewell, farewell

Farewell, my friends, since we must part
The separation grieves my heart
The Master doeth all things well
And yet I grieve to say farewell

But peace, my soul! that painful word
Shall cease to pierce as with a sword
When angels come the news to tell
That we may bid all grief farewell

Till then, let's hope and trust and pray
And wait, and watch for that sweet day
When we'll gone home, with Christ to dwell
Where friends no more shall say farewell

8. The Battle Of Calvary 5:35
Great Apollyon, grim and awful
Steeped in gore and stained in blood
Death, with all his fearsome forces
Has besieged the Son of God
Satan, clothed with evil armor
Darkly gleaming, proud and cold
Merciless, he joins the battle
Armed and clad with pow'r untold

Bowed beneath demonic onslaughts
Jesus fights His awesome duel!
Pain devours its Holy Victim
Searing, savage, raging, cruel!
Eager waits the Mouth of Sheol
Huge, insatiable, and strong!
Maw agape, the Grave yearns after
Holy Flesh--but not for long

Writhing under Law's most fearsome
Cruse, ruined, lost, polluted, wrecked
Languishing in Satan's prison
Lie the souls of God's elect

At the Cross--desire of Hell!
Christ gives up that final Breath
Now, at last, the choicest Captive
Tastes the mortal sting of Death!

Darkness falls, the seething smoke of Hell
Cloaks the battlefield from view
Down the head of God has fallen
Law and Wrath receive their due!

Satan smiles in seeming triumph
Reaching out, his Prize to take
Three brief days all Hell rejoices
Then the stone begins to shake!

Now the night of wrong is ended
Now the Grave has lost its Prize!
Now the Ris'n One breaks the back of Sin
There! Behold! See how Death dies!
Resurrection Light now scatters
Satan's armies from the field
Christ has drawn the fearful sting of Death
Sheol and Abaddon yield!

At His Glance the mighty prison
Built by Law and Sin falls down!
Countless in their thousand thousands
All His Ransomed praise His Crown!
Heav'n and Hell's astonished spirits
In their joy and rage all stare
At the Victor of the Cross who
Won His greatest Battle there

9. Cross Of Christ 4:48
Cross of Christ, O sacred tree,
Hide my sins and shelter me;
Claim or merit I have none,
I am vile and all undone;
I to Thee for succor fly--
Give me refuge, or I die.
Cross of Christ, O sacred tree,
All my hopes are hung on thee.

Cross of Christ, O sacred tree,
Let me to thy shadow flee;
Here they mocked the Crucified,
Here the royal sufferer died;
Here was shed the atoning blood,
Till it crimsoned all the sod;
Cross of Christ, O sacred tree,
Can the guilty trust in thee?

Cross of Christ, O sacred tree,
Type of love's deep mystery.
'Twas my sins provoked this love,
I this matchless passion moved;
For my soul this love was stored;
On my head the blessing poured;
Cross of Christ, O sacred tree,
Now I solve love's mystery.

Cross of Christ, O sacred tree,
This my boast shall ever be,
That the blood for me was shed,
That for me He groaned and bled;
Now I catch that gracious eye,
Now I know I shall not die;
Cross of Christ, O sacred tree,
All my guilt is lost in thee!

10. And Am I Only Born To Die 4:02
And am I only born to die?
And must I suddenly comply
With nature's stern decree?

How then ought I on earth to live
While God prolongs the kind reprieve

What after death for me remains?
Celestial joys, or hellish pains
To all eternity?

And props the house of clay?
My sole concern, my single care
To watch, and tremble, and prepare
Against the fatal day

No room for mirth or trifling here
For worldly hope, or worldly fear
If life so soon is gone
If now the Judge is at the door

Nothing is worth a thought beneath
Now how I may escape the death
That never, never dies
How make mine own election sure
And, when I fail on earth, secure
A mansion in the skies

And all mankind must stand before
The inexorable throne!
No matter which my thoughts employ
A moment's misery, or joy
But O! when both shall end
Where shall I find my destined place?

Shall I my everlasting days
With fiends, or angels spend?

Jesus, vouchsafe a pitying ray
Be Thou my guide, be Thou my way
To glorious happiness
To happiness
Ah, write the pardon on my heart
And whensoe'er I hence depart
Let me depart, depart in peace
Ah, write the pardon on my heart
And whensoe'er I hence depart
Let me depart, depart in peace
Ah, write the pardon on my heart
And whensoe'er I hence depart
Let me depart, depart in peace

11. God's Glory Is A Wondrous Thing 5:11
God's glory is a wondrous thing
Most strange in all its ways
And, of all things on earth, least like
What men agree to praise

Workman of God, O lose not heart
But learn what God is like!
And, in the darkest battlefield
Thou shalt know where to strike

O blest is he to whom is given
The instinct that can tell
That God is on the field when He
Is most invisible!

Blest too is he who can divine
Where real right doth lie
And dares to take the side that seems
Wrong to man's blindfold eye

For right is right, since God is God
And right the day must win
To doubt would be disloyalty
To falter would be sin

God's glory is a wondrous thing
Most strange in all its ways
And, of all things on earth, least like
What men agree to praise

Workman of God, O lose not heart
But learn what God is like!
And, in the darkest battlefield
Thou shalt know where to strike

12. Alone 3:51
It was alone the Savior prayed
In dark Gethsemane
Alone He drained the bitter cup
And suffered there for me

It was alone the Savior stood
In Pilate's judgment hall
Alone the crown of thorns He wore
Forsaken thus by all

Alone, alone, He bore it all alone
He gave Himself to save His own
He suffered, bled and died alone
Alone, alone, He bore it all alone

Can you reject such matchless love?
Can you His claim disown?

Alone upon the cross He hung
That others He might save
Forsaken then by God and man
Alone, His life He gave

Come, give your all in gratitude
Nor leave Him thus alone

(It was alone the Savior prayed
In dark Gethsemane
Alone He drained the bitter cup
And suffered there for me

It was alone the Savior stood
In Pilate's judgment hall
Alone the crown of thorns He wore
Forsaken thus by all)

Alone, alone, He bore it all alone
He gave Himself to save His own
He suffered, bled and died alone
Alone, alone, He bore it all alone

13. Behold The Savior Of The World 3:48
Behold the Savior of the world
Embrued with sweat and gore
Expiring on that shameful cross
Where He our sorrows bore!

Compassion for lost human race
Brought down God's only Son
To veil in flesh His radiant face
And for their sins atone

Who can to love His name forbear
That of His sufferings hears
And finds, the ransom of his soul
Was blood as well as tears?

Thy sacred blood, O Son of God!
Which ran from many a wound
When earth and hell's malicious powers
All compassed Thee around

Joy for Thy torments we receive
Life in Thy death have found
For the reproaches of Thy cross
Shall be with glory crowned

May we a grateful sense retain
Of Thy redeeming love!
And live below like those that hope
To live with Thee above!

14. It Is Finished (Petra cover) 4:08
In the heat of the early morning
On a hill they call the Skull
The roaring of the angry mob had settled to a lull
All eyes were cast upon the man whose hands and feet were bound

They saw him cry in anguish when they heard the hammer pound

They watched the bloody woven thorns with which His head was crowned
They watched the bloody cross of wood be dropped into the ground
The soldiers gambled for His clothes, they watched them win and lose
They saw the sign above His head that said "King of the Jews"

(It is finished) And the sky grew black as the night
(It is finished) And the people scattered in fright
The work had been done, redemption had been won
The war was over without a fight
It is finished

They searched His face for anger, for vengeance in His stare
Instead of eyes that burned with hate a look of love was there
He prayed for their forgiveness and bowed His battered head
And no one knew the meaning of the final words He said

The provision has been made
The foundation has been laid
He paid the ransom due and tore the temple veil in two
And opened up the way for me and you
It is finished

1. Out Of Darkness Into Light 5:43
Long in darkness we have waited,
For the shining of the light;
Long have felt the things we hated,
Sink us still in deeper night.

Blessed Jesus, loving Savior!
Tender, faithful, strong and true,
Break the fetters that have bound us,
Make us in Thyself anew.

Now, at last, the Light appeareth,
Jesus stands upon the shore;
And with tender voice, He calleth,
Come to Me and sin no more!

Nothing have we, but our weakness,
Naught but sorrow, sin and care;
All within is loathsome vileness,
All without is dark despair.

All our talents we have wasted,
All Thy laws have disobeyed,
But Thy goodness now we've tasted,
In Thy robes we stand arrayed.

Thou hast saved us--do Thou keep us,
Guide us by Thine eye divine;
Let the Holy Spirit teach us,
That our light may ever shine.

Long in darkness we have waited,
For the shining of the light;
Long have felt the things we hated,
Sink us still in deeper night.

Blessed Jesus, loving Savior!
Tender, faithful, strong and true,
Break the fetters that have bound us,
Make us in Thyself anew.

2. Vanitas Vanitatum, Omnia Vanitas 3:42
In all we do, and hear, and see,
Is restless Toil and Vanity.
While yet the rolling earth abides,
Men come and go like ocean tides;

And ere one generation dies,
Another in its place shall rise;
That, sinking soon into the grave,
Others succeed, like wave on wave;

And as they rise, they pass away.
The sun arises every day,
And, hastening onward to the West,
He nightly sinks, but not to rest:

Returning to the eastern skies,
Again to light us, he must rise.
And still the restless wind comes forth,
Now blowing keenly from the North;

Now from the South, the East, the West,
For ever changing, ne'er at rest.
The fountains, gushing from the hills,
Supply the ever-running rills;

The thirsty rivers drink their store,
And bear it rolling to the shore,
But still the ocean craves for more.
'Tis endless labor everywhere!

Sound cannot satisfy the ear,
Light cannot fill the craving eye,
Nor riches half our wants supply;
Pleasure but doubles future and pain,
And joy brings sorrow in her train;

Laughter is mad, and reckless mirth--
What does she in this weary earth?
Should Wealth, or Fame, our Life employ,
Death comes, our labor to destroy;

To snatch the untasted cup away,
For which we toiled so many a day.
What, then, remains for wretched man?
To use life's comforts while he can,

Enjoy the blessings Heav'n bestows,
Assist his friends, forgive his foes;
Trust God, and keep His statutes still,
Upright and firm, through good and ill;

Thankful for all that God has giv'n,
Fixing his firmest hopes on Heav'n;
Knowing that earthly joys decay,
But hoping through the darkest day.

Hoping through the darkest day.

3. Light Of Light, Enlighten Me 5:37
Light of light, enlighten me
Now anew the day is dawning
Sun of grace, the shadows flee
Brighten Thou my Sabbath morning

Fountain of all our joy and peace
To Thy living waters lead me
Thou from earth my soul release
And with grace and mercy feed me

Bless Thy word, that it may prove
Rich in fruits that Thou dost love
With Thy joyous sunshine blest
Happy is my day of rest

With Thy joyous sunshine blest
Happy is my day of rest

Light of light, Sun of grace
Fountain of all our joy and peace

Kindle thou the sacrifice
That upon my lips is lying
Clear the shadows from my eyes
That, from every error flying

No strange fire may in me glow
That Thine altar doth not know

Light of light, Sun of grace
Fountain of all our joy and peace

Hence all care, all vanity
For the day to God is holy

Come, Thou glorious majesty
Deign to fill this temple lowly

Let me with my heart today
Holy, Holy, Holy singing
Rapt awhile from earth away
All my soul to Thee upbringing

Rest in me, and I in Thee
Build a paradise within me
O reveal Thyself to me
Blessed Love, who diedst to win me

Have a foretaste inly given
How they worship Thee in heaven

Fed from Thine exhaustless urn
Pure and bright my lamp shall burn

Light of light, Sun of grace
Fountain of all our joy and peace

4. There's A Promise From The Lord (I Delight In Weakness - 2 Cor. 2:10) 3:57
There's a promise from the Lord
'Tis recorded in His Word
That the faithful He'll reward
And that promise I believe

Oh, my heart is full of son
I am singing all day long
In my weakness I am strong
For my strength is in the Lord

Oh, His wondrous grace to me
Shall my theme for ever be
With His blood He made me free
I am happy in His love

To the palace gates on high
He will guide me with His eye
I shall see Him by and by
And in glory at His feet

I delight in weakness!

Hallelujah, hallelujah
I am trusting in the Lord
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I am trusting in the Lord

Praise His name, praise His name!

5. BBDM 4:43
Like the roaring lion
Like the eagle in the sky
The Metal and the Iron
Raise the banner high

His word is true and holy
His promises secure
He comforts the poor and lonely
He strengthens and makes pure

Hail hail - more hail
To God - Soli Deo Gloria

Bible Based Death Metal

His eyes are upon us
In his hands we are safe
We fear not Satan and no evil
We ride on the winds and waves

We glorify his holiness
Pounding Metal shall prevail
Praise him in music and in life
Death Metal in our veins

Hail hail - more hail
To God - Soli Deo Gloria

He gave his life to set us free
Heavy Metal for all eternity
By his blood - freedom rings
We fly on holy wings

Hail him the King of Kings

Bible Based Death Metal

Hail him the King of Kings

6. SDG, Pt. 6 4:04
Oh! Echoes of glory
From angels so fair
Listen to the music
That floats in the air

Soli Deo Gloria - SDG

Echoes of glory are ringing
Down thro' the gates so fair
News of sweet rest they are bringing
To hearts that are weary with care

Echoes of glory are sweetly
Coming to cheer the weak
Filling the soul thus completely
With love that the sorrowing seek

Echoes of glory come ever
Telling of rest at last
When we shall cross o'er the river
And life with its turmoil is past

Oh! Echoes of glory
From angels so fair
Listen to the music
That floats in the air

7. Guide My Ways 4:03
O that the Lord would guide my ways
To keep His statutes still!
O that my God would grant me grace
To know and do His will!

O send Thy Spirit down to write
Thy law upon my heart!
Nor let my tongue indulge deceit
Nor act the liar's part

O guide my ways
O grant me grace

From vanity turn off my eyes
Let no corrupt design
Nor covetous desires, arise
Within this soul of mine

Order my footsteps by Thy Word
And make my heart sincere
Let sin have no dominion, Lord
But keep my conscience clear

O guide my ways
O grant me grace

My soul hath gone too far astray
My feet too often slip
Yet since I've not forgot Thy way
Restore Thy wand'ring sheep

Make me to walk in Thy commands
'Tis a delightful road
Nor let my hand, or heart, or hands
Offend against my God

O guide my ways
O grant me grace

8. Arise And Shine 5:25
Arise and shine! Thy light is come
The glory of the Lord is risen upon our gloom
Arise and shine! Thy light is come
The glory of the Lord is risen upon our gloom

Out of darkness into light
Jesus calls the sons of night
Out of midnight into day
Jesus bids us come away

From the prison house of sin
From the power without, within
From this mortal weariness
Jesus calls to Joy and peace

Arise and shine! Thy light is come
The glory of the Lord is risen upon our gloom
Arise and shine! Thy light is come
The glory of the Lord is risen upon our gloom

From this world's alluring snares
From its perils and its cares
From its vanity and strife
Jesus beckons us to life

From the vanity of youth
Into rest and love and truth
Into joy that never palls
Jesus now in mercy calls

Arise and shine! Thy light is come
The glory of the Lord is risen upon our gloom
Arise and shine! Thy light is come
The glory of the Lord is risen upon our gloom

9. To Conquer Death 4:30
Born to bless us, born to save!
Praise His name with joyful breath!
Sing through life, nor fear the grave!
Jesus lives to conquer death!

Every birth is changed from hence
Each may take a pathway bright
Reaching soon the tomb, but thence
Issuing in unfading light

We fly on wings of hope!
To conquer death!

Humblest cradles now shall show
Clearly show to loving eyes
Oft while tears of rapture flow
Flowerets born for Paradise

Parents now shall sink to rest
Hoping soon to clasp in Heaven
Lovely as a seraph blest
Every child whom God hath given

Parents, children, young and old
If but strong in faith and love
Shall, with gratitude untold
Oft foretaste the joys above

We fly on wings of hope!
To conquer death!

Lowly Babe of Bethlehem!
Glorious Lord of life and light!
Humble branch of Jesse's stem!
God! Thy grace is infinite

We fly on wings of hope!
To conquer death!

10. The Hope Of The Ages 4:58
Jesus comes, He comes in glory
Echoes through the ages hoary
Blessed hope and thrilling story
Hallelujah! Jesus comes!

Jesus comes, the dead are waking
Earth with mortal pangs is quaking
Stars are falling, heavens shaking
Hallelujah! Jesus comes!

Hope of all the ages past
King of kings, He comes at last
Up, ye saints of God awaking!
See the morning light is breaking!

Jesus comes, in clouds descending
Sins restraining, sorrow ending
Broken ties forever mending
Hallelujah! Jesus comes!

Jesus comes, all things restoring
Cry aloud, His grace imploring
Bow the knee, the King adoring
Hallelujah! Jesus comes!

Jesus comes, He comes in glory
Jesus comes, the dead are waking
Jesus comes, in clouds descending
Jesus comes, all things restoring

11. My Hope Is Built (The Solid Rock) 4:43
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus' name

On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay

When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds...

When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne

On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

12. A Fountain Of Life And Of Grace 4:54
A fountain of life and of grace
In Christ our Redeemer we see
For us who His offers embrace
For all it is open and free!

Jehovah Himself doth invite
To drink of His pleasures unknown
The streams of immortal delight
That flow from His heavenly throne

As soon as in Him we believe
By faith of His Spirit we take
And freely forgiven, receive
The mercy for Jesus' sake

We gain a pure drop of His love
The life of eternity know
Angelical happiness prove
And witness a heaven below

13. Be Ye Reconciled 4:34
I am a stranger here
Within a foreign land
My home is far away
Upon a golden strand
Ambassador to be
Of realms beyond the sea
I'm here on business for my king

This is the message that I bring
A message angels fain would sing
Thus saith my Lord and king
Oh, be ye reconciled to God

This is the King's command
That all men, everywhere
Repent and turn away
From sin's seductive snare
That all who will obey
With Him shall reign for aye
And that's my business for my king

My home is brighter far
Than Sharon's rosy plain
Eternal life and joy
Throughout its vast domain
My sovereign bids me tell
Tow mortals there may dwell
And that's my business for my king

14. Death Is Destroyed (Lithostrotos cover) 7:04
Led like a lamb - to the slaughter in silence and shame
There on your back - you carried a world of violence and pain

Bleeding, dying, bleeding, dying

Jesus is alive, he washed away our sins
He died for you, for you to be alive
666 - a number lost symbolic value
Hallelujah, death is destroyed

At the break of dawn - poor Mary still weeping she came
When though her grief - she heard your voice now speaking her name

Mary, Master, Mary, Master

Jesus is alive, he washed away our sins
He died for you, for you to be alive
666 - a number lost symbolic value
Hallelujah, death is destroyed

At the right hand - of the father now seated on high
You have begun - your eternal reign of justice and joy

Glory, Glory, Glory, Glory

Jesus is alive, he washed away our sins
He died for you, for you to be alive
666 - a number lost symbolic value
Hallelujah, death is destroyed

1. Life's Orient Morn 4:59
Life's orient morn hath passed away
Hushed all the clamorous cares of day

Jesus, my light of life, draw near
Shine on my darkness, chase each fear
Stand by me in life's closing fight
And cheering say, I am thy light

Life's western portal opes for me
Death's darkening valley near I see
This promise meets my dimming sight
At evening time it shall be light

Through twilight calm soft steals one chime
It shall be light at evening time

Washed in Thy precious blood alone
Arrayed in righteousness Thine own
From evening time I pass away
To Heaven's eternal shadeless day

Jesus, my light of life, draw near
Shine on my darkness, chase each fear
Stand by me in life's closing fight
And cheering say, I am thy light

2. Standing On The Word Of God 3:33
I am standing on the Word of God
Which came to men of old
The Holy Book our fathers loved
And treasured more than gold

I am standing on the Word of God
'Tis holy and 'tis true
Through ages it has been our light
With splendor ever new

I am standing, standing on the Word
Though the earth change and decay
It shall never, never pass away
I am standing on the Word of God

I am standing on the Word of God
'Tis full of life divine
God's Spirit lives in ev'ry word
And moves in ev'ry line

I am standing on the Word of God
And thus I am secure
Though blows the tempest wild and hard
'Twill evermore endure

I am standing on the Word of God
And on my dying bed
I'll share its consolations, Lord
When death's dark vale I tread

I am standing, standing on the Word
Though the earth change and decay
It shall never, never pass away
I am standing on the Word of God

3. Grace Is Free 4:23
There's nothing like the old, old story
Grace is free, grace is free!
Which saints and martyrs tell in glory
Grace is free, grace is free!
It brought them thro' the flood and flame
By it they fought and overcome
And now they cry thro' His dear name
Grace is free, grace is free!

Grace is free, grace is free!
There's nothing like the old, old story
Grace is free, grace is free!
Which saints and martyrs tell in glory

There's only hope in trusting Jesus
Grace is free, grace is free!
From sin that doomed, He died to free us
Grace is free, grace is free!
Who would not tell the story sweet
Of love so wondrous, so complete
And fall in rapture at His feet
Grace is free, grace is free!

Grace is free, grace is free!
There's nothing like the old, old story
Grace is free, grace is free!
Which saints and martyrs tell in glory

From age to age the theme is telling
From shore to shore the strains are swelling
And when that time shall cease to be
And faith is crowned with victory

'Twill sound thro' all eternity
Grace is free, grace is free!

Grace is free, grace is free!
There's nothing like the old, old story
Grace is free, grace is free!
Which saints and martyrs tell in glory

4. Blessed Rock 6:30
'Mid the wild and fearful blast
I have reached the Rock at last
Helpless, weak and sore dismayed
To the cross I'll cling for aid

Wrecked by sin, by tempest tossed
Compass, chart and anchor lost
He whose power alone can save
Lulls the wind and stills the wave

Rock, that hides my trembling soul
From the storms that darkly roll
While beneath the surges dash
Thunders roar, and lightnings flash

Blessed Rock, whose love divine
Fills with joy this heart of mine
Cross of Him who died for me
Evermore I'll cling to Thee

When beyond the vale of night
I shall soar to realms of light
When mine eyes behold the King
Heart and soul and tongue shall sing

Blessed Rock, whose love divine
Fills with joy this heart of mine
Cross of Him who died for me
Evermore I'll cling to Thee

Ly-O-Lay Ale Loya

5. Glorious Freedom 4:44
Once I was bound by sin's galling fetters;
Chained like a slave, I struggled in vain.
But I received a glorious freedom,
When Jesus broke my fetters in twain.

Glorious freedom! Wonderful freedom!
No more in chains of sin I repine!
Jesus the glorious Emancipator--
Now and forever He shall be mine.

Freedom from all the carnal affections;
Freedom from envy, hatred and strife;
Freedom from vain and worldly ambitions;
Freedom from all that saddened my life!

Freedom from pride and all sinful follies;
Freedom from love and glitter of gold;
Freedom from evil temper and anger;
Glorious freedom, rapture untold!

Freedom from fear with all of its torments;
Freedom from care with all of its pain;
Freedom in Christ, my blessed Redeemer--
He who has rent my fetters in twain.

Glorious freedom! Wonderful freedom!
No more in chains of sin I repine!
Jesus the glorious Emancipator--
Now and forever He shall be mine.

6. The Future 5:39
Oh, I often sit and ponder
When the sun is sinking low
Where shall yonder future find me
Does but God in Heaven know?
Shall I be among the living?
Shall I mingle with the free?
Wheresoe'er my path be leading
Savior, Keep my heart with Thee

Oh, the future lies before me
And I know not where I'll be
But where'er my path be leading
Savior, keep my heart with Thee

Shall I be at work for Jesus
Whilst He leads me by the hand
And to those around be saying
Come and join His happy band?
Come, for all things now are ready
Come, His faithful follower be
Oh, where'er my path be leading
Savior, keep my heart with Thee

But perhaps my work for Jesus
Soon in future may be done
All my earthly trials ended
And my crown in Heaven won

Oh, the future lies before me
And I know not where I'll be
But where'er my path be leading
Savior, keep my heart with Thee

Then, forever with the ransomed
Thro' eternity I'd be
Chanting hymns to Him who bought me
With His blood shed on the tree

7. SDG, Pt. 7 4:21
Holy Father, cheer our way
With Thy love's perpetual ray
Grant us every closing day
Light at evening time

Holy Savior, calm our fears
When earth's brightness disappears
Grant us in our later years
Light at evening time

Soli Deo Gloria - S.D.G.
Soli Deo Gloria - S.D.G.

Holy Spirit, be Thou nigh
When in mortal pains we lie
Grant us, as we come to die
Light at evening time

Holy, blessed Trinity
Darkness is not dark to Thee
Those Thou keepest always see
Light at evening time

Soli Deo Gloria - S.D.G.
Soli Deo Gloria - S.D.G.

8. Some Day 8:39
Beams of Heaven, as I go
Through this wilderness below
Guide my feet in peaceful ways
Turn my midnights into days
When in the darkness I would grope
Faith always sees a star of hope
And soon from all life's grief and danger
I shall be free some day

I do not know how long 'twill be
Nor what the future holds for me
But this I know, if Jesus leads me
I shall get home some day

Oftentimes my sky is clear
Joy abounds without a tear
Though a day so bright begun
Clouds may hide tomorrow's sun
There'll be a day that's always bright
A day that never yields to night
And in its light the streets of glory
I shall behold some day

I do not know how long 'twill be
Nor what the future holds for me
But this I know, if Jesus leads me
I shall get home some day

Harder yet may be the fight
Right may often yield to might
Wickedness awhile may reign
Satan's cause may seem to gain
There is a God that rules above
With hand of power and heart of love
If I am right, He'll fight my battle
I shall have peace some day

Burdens now may crush me down
Disappointments all around
Troubles speak in mournful sigh
Sorrow through a tear-stained eye
There is a world where pleasure reigns
No mourning soul shall roam its plains
And to that land of peace and glory
I want to go some day

9. In Sickness And In Pain 4:26
When cares and sorrows thicken round,
And nothing bright I see,
In Thee alone can help be found;
To Thee I turn, to Thee.

Jesus, in sickness and in pain,
Be near to succor me,
My sinking spirit still sustain;
To Thee I turn, to Thee.

Should strong temptations fierce assail,
As if to ruin me,
Then in Thy strength will I prevail,
While still I turn to Thee.

When cares and sorrows thicken round,
And nothing bright I see,
In Thee alone can help be found;
To Thee I turn, to Thee.

Jesus, in sickness and in pain,
Be near to succor me,
My sinking spirit still sustain;
To Thee I turn, to Thee.

Through all my pilgrimage below,
Whate'er my lot may be,
In joy or sadness, weal or woe,
Jesus, I'll turn to Thee.

Jesus, in sickness and in pain,
Be near to succor me,
My sinking spirit still sustain;
To Thee I turn, to Thee.

10. Let Us Wait 7:02
If we enter into glory
At the resurrection light
And in triumph sing the story
Of the love that banished night
Shall we murmur at the sleeping
Till that great resplendent day?
Will it be a cause for weeping
When our tears are wiped away?

When we see the saints all beaming
In their crowns and robes of white
And our loved ones in the gleaming
With their forms so pure and bright

Let us wait
Let us wait
Let us wait for Christ from Heaven
Till the resurrection morn

When we meet beyond the sighing
In the home beyond the gloom
Shall we grieve because of lying
In the dark and silent tomb?
If we see the harvest glowing
In the grand eternal rays
And then gladly reap from sowing
In these tears thro' sorrow's days

Shall we then be heard repining
Tho' the seed in earth remain?
In that morning's splendid shining
It will wave in golden grain

Let us wait
Let us wait
Let us wait for Christ from Heaven
Till the resurrection morn

Let us wait for Christ from Heaven
As the church in days of old
When to us our crowns are given
We will walk the streets of gold
It will be no cause of sadness
That we parted when we died
We shall be in perfect gladness
With the psalmist satisfied

11. Resurrection Morning 5:32
When the trump of God shall sound
From the lonely grave and mound
From the grave forever free
Clothed with immortality

On the resurrection morning we shall rise
And together meet the Savior in the skies
From the grave forever free
Clothed with immortality

Martyred millions who were slain
Shall come forth with Christ to reign
Patriarchs and sages old
Will arise from dust and mold

Those who left us years ago
We shall meet again and know
Death has lost its dreaded sting
With triumphant joy we sing

On the resurrection morning we shall rise
And together meet the Savior in the skies
From the grave forever free
Clothed with immortality

If the Lord should come today
With a thrill our hearts can say
For the living who remain
Shall be caught up without pain

On the resurrection morning we shall rise
And together meet the Savior in the skies
From the grave forever free
Clothed with immortality

12. 40:31 (Mortification cover) 4:06
I live on a wing and a prayer
In majesty I ride
Inheritance of royalty
Flows within my blood
Soaring to the heights
The eagle shall be bold

Isaiah 40:31
Isaiah 40:31

I ride the wings of change
Agile in the wake of hate
Ruling with an iron sword
Death to my taunting prey
Faithful to my final quest
The eagle shall be bold

Isaiah 40:31
Isaiah 40:31

Those who wait on the Lord
They shall renew their strength
Mount up with wings like eagles
They'll walk and shall not faint
They'll run and not be weary
The eagle shall be bold

Isaiah 40:31
Isaiah 40:31

13. Freedom (Elayna Boynton and Anthony Hamilton cover) 4:06
Ooh
Ooh

Felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders
Pressure to break or retreat at every turn
Facing the fear that the truth I discovered
No telling how all this will work out
But I've come too far to go back now

I am looking for freedom, looking for freedom
And to find it cost me everything I have
Well I am looking for freedom, looking for freedom
And to find it may take everything I have!

I know all too well it don't come easy
The chains of the world they seem to move in tight
I try to walk around it
But stumbling's so familiar
Try to get up but the doubt is so strong
There's gotta be a wind in my bones

Oh not giving up has always been hard
So hard
But if I do the things the easy way I won't get far

Hmm, life hasn't been very kind to me lately
Well
But I suppose it's a push for moving on
Oh yeah
In time the sun's gonna shine on me nicely
One day yeah
Something tells me good things are coming and I ain't gonna not believe

I am looking for freedom, looking for freedom
And to find it cost me everything I have
Well I am looking for freedom, looking for freedom
And to find it may take everything I have!

14. Looking For Freedom (David Hasselhoff cover) 4:00
One morning in June
Some twenty years ago
I was born a rich man's son
I had everything that money could buy
But freedom I had none

I've been looking for freedom
I've been looking so long
I've been looking for freedom
Still the search goes on
I've been looking for freedom
Since I left my home town
I've been looking for freedom
Still it can't be found

I headed down the track
My baggage on my back
I left the city far behind
(Uh-uh-uh, uh-uh-uh)
Walking down that road
With my heavy load
Trying to find some ease of mind

Father said: "You'll be sorry, son
If you leave your home this way
And when you realize
The freedom money buys
You'll come running home someday"

I've been looking for freedom
I've been looking so long
I've been looking for freedom
Still the search goes on
I've been looking for freedom
Since I left my home town
I've been looking for freedom
Still it can't be found

I made a lot of dues
Had plenty to lose
Traveling across the land
Worked on a farm
Got some muscle in my arms
But still I'm not a self-made man
I feel the run for many years to come
I'll be searching door to door
And given some time
Some day I'm gonna find
The freedom (freedom, freedom)
I've been searching for

I've been looking for freedom (looking for freedom)
I've been looking so long (looking so long)
I've been looking for freedom (looking for freedom)
Still the search goes on (search goes on)
I've been looking for freedom (looking for freedom)
Since I left my home town (left my home town)
I've been looking for freedom (looking for freedom)
Still it can't be found (still it can't be found)

I've been looking for freedom (looking for freedom)
I've been looking so long (looking so long)
I've been looking for freedom (looking for freedom)
Still the search goes on (search goes on)
I've been looking for freedom (looking for freedom)
Since I left my home town (left my home town)
I've been looking for freedom (looking for freedom)
Still it can't be found (still it can't be found)




Valley Of Death (album, February 8, 2024, Coleiosis Records) (CD-R, Digital)

1. Lonely Pilgrim 5:09
I walk a lonely pilgrim here
O'er life's uneven way
My aching heart keeps hoping, for
A bright and better day
A glorious home, a godly land
The blessed, heavenly rest
And well I know that land is near
The home of all who're blest

I walk alone, and oft am sad
And fall the briny tears
My heart is grieved with trails sore
And pressed with many cares
The better land no sorrow knows
There, hushed is every sigh
The Savior's hand in kindness wipes
The tear-drop from each eye

I walk alone, and yet am glad
The blessed promise's given
To cheer the heart--the lowly one
Towards that promised Heaven

The humble path my Savior walked
I scorn it not to tread
The frowns and scoffs my Savior bore
My fall upon my head

I stand upon His precious word
My soul rejoiceth free
The glorious light the Gospel gives
Is light that shines for me
I'll suffer now, I'll triumph then
I'll die for Jesus here
In that bright world I'll live again
A conqueror's crown to wear

2. The Higher Rock 4:51
In the higher rock I'm trusting
Restful, peaceful, saved and free
'Tis the tested rock of ages
Its dear shadow shelters me

Lead me to the rock that's higher
Than the rock poor self can show
Lead me to its perfect shelter
The strong tower from every foe
Yes, the higher rock so towering
Gives, amid life's rudest storms
Perfect refuge, surest safety
Sweetest rest amid alarms
'Tis the higher rock that gives me
Faith's glad strength for every hour
Oh to measure all its gladness
All its preciousness of power

'Tis the higher rock sustains me
Joyously from day to day
Lifting heart, and soul, and spirit
To the purer, holier way
'Tis the higher rock that saves me
'Tis the higher rock I've found
Where abide the crowning graces
Faith and hope and love abound

In the higher rock I'm trusting
Restful, peaceful, saved and free
'Tis the tested rock of ages
Its dear shadow shelters me

So will I sing praises to Thee
For Thy wondrous power to save
Daily 'neath Thy shadow resting
Till the victor's palm I wave

In the higher rock I'm trusting
Restful, peaceful, saved and free
'Tis the tested rock of ages
Its dear shadow shelters me

3. Angels Are Coming 5:22
O glorious thought that no more I shall roam
For angels are coming to carry me home
Some wonderful day, in the sweet by and by (by and by)
My soul, on their wings, shall be wafted on high

The angels are coming for me
The angels are coming for me
They're coming I know, and I'm ready to go
The angels of Heaven are coming for me

The angels of Heaven are coming for me
The angels of Heaven are coming for me

When angels shall bear me to mansions of gold
His marvelous glory mine eyes shall behold
And rapture eternal my spirit shall know (shall know)
When, with the bright angels, to glory I go

The angels are coming for me
The angels are coming for me
They're coming I know, and I'm ready to go
The angels of Heaven are coming for me

The angels of Heaven are coming for me
The angels of Heaven are coming for me

When done with the toils and the cares of this life
When ended the turmoil, the sin and the strife
The angels will carry me over the tide
And ever with Jesus my soul shall abide

The angels are coming for me
The angels are coming for me
They're coming I know, and I'm ready to go
The angels of Heaven are coming for me

The angels of Heaven are coming for me
The angels of Heaven are coming for me

4. While My Redeemer's Near 5:24
While my Redeemer's near
My shepherd and my guide
I bid farewell to anxious fear
My wants are all supplied

To ever fragrant meads
Where rich abundance grows
His gracious hand indulgent leads
And guards my sweet repose

Along the lovely scene
Cool waters gently roll
And kind refreshment smiles serene
To cheer my fainting soul

Here let my spirit rest
How sweet a lot is mine
With pleasure, food, and safety blest
Beneficence divine

Dear Shepherd, if I stray
My wandering feet restore
To Thy fair pastures guide my way
And let me rove no more

While my Redeemer's near
My shepherd and my guide
I bid farewell to anxious fear
My wants are all supplied

Unworthy, as I am
Of Thy protecting care
Jesus, I plead Thy gracious name
For all my hopes are there

5. After The Midnight 6:19
After the midnight, morning will greet us
After the sadness, joy will appear
After the tempest, sunlight will meet us
After the jeering, praise we shall hear

After the battle, peace will be given
After the weeping, song there will be
After the journey there will be Heaven
Burdens will fall and we shall be free

After the sadness, joy will appear
After the jeering, praise we shall hear

Shadows and sunshine all thro' the story
Teardrops and pleasure, day after day
But when we reach the kingdom of glory
Trials of earth will vanish away

After the shadows, there will be sunshine
After the frown, the soul-cheering smile
Cling to the Savior, love Him forever
All will be well in a little while

6. Through The Valley 4:48
Thro' the valley of the shadow
Safe upon the other side
All our weary conflict over
There with Jesus satisfied

There are depths we cannot fathom
There are heights we cannot reach
Lord, Thou knowest, only show us
Every lesson Thou wouldst teach

Very precious is the trial
That uniteth us to Thee
Sever e'en the dearest union
So Thy glory we may see

Thro' the valley of the shadow
Safe upon the other side
All our weary conflict over
There with Jesus satisfied

Thro' the valley of the shadow
Thro' the valley of death

7. Dire Invader 3:46
Satan, the dire invader, came
Our new made world t'annoy
And death marched dreadful in his rear
His captives to destroy

Caught in his snares, our father sank
With him his children fell
And death his fatal shaft prepared
To smite them down to hell

Jesus with pitying eye beheld
And left His starry crown
Turned his own weapons on the foe
And mowed his legions down

By death the Savior death disarmed
That we in light may shine
And fixed this great, mysterious law
That dust should dust refine

No more the pointed shaft we fear
Nor dread the monster's boast
No more the pious dead we mourn
As friends for ever lost

Their tongues, great Prince of life, shall join
With our recovered breath
And all th'immortal host, t'ascribe
Our victory to Thy death

Our victory to Thy death

8. SDG, Pt. 8 3:57
Be Thou exalted, forever and ever
God of eternity, Ancient of Days
Wondrous in majesty, perfect in wisdom
Glorious in holiness, fearful in praise

Soli Deo Gloria - SDG
Be Thou exalted by seraphs and angels
Be Thou exalted with harp and with song
Saints in their anthems of rapture adore Thee
Martyrs the loud hallelujahs prolong
Be Thou exalted by seraphs and angels
Be Thou exalted with harp and with song
Saints in their anthems of rapture adore Thee
Martyrs the loud hallelujahs prolong

Be Thou exalted, O Son of the Highest
Gracious Redeemer, our Savior and King
One with the Father, co-equal in glory
Here at Thy footstool our homage we bring

Be Thou exalted, O Spirit eternal
Dwell in our hearts, keep us holy within
Lead to Thy home in the life everlasting
Open its portals and welcome us in

Be Thou exalted by seraphs and angels
Be Thou exalted with harp and with song
Saints in their anthems of rapture adore Thee
Martyrs the loud hallelujahs prolong
Be Thou exalted by seraphs and angels
Be Thou exalted with harp and with song
Saints in their anthems of rapture adore Thee
Martyrs the loud hallelujahs prolong

Soli Deo Gloria - SDG

9. Dreadful Roar 3:25
Now Satan comes with dreadful roar
And threatens to destroy
He worries whom he can't devour
With a malicious joy

Ye sons of God, oppose his rage
Resist, and he'll be gone
Thus did our dearest Lord engage
And vanquish him alone

Now he appears almost divine
Like innocence and love
But the old serpent lurks within
When he assumes the dove

Fly from the false deceiver's tongue
Ye sons of Adam, fly
Our parents found the snare too strong
Nor should the children try

Now he appears almost divine
Like innocence and love

But the older serpent lurks within
When he assumes the dove

Now Satan comes with dreadful roar
And threatens to destroy
He worries whom he can't devour
With a malicious joy

Ye sons of God, oppose his rage
Resist, and he'll be gone
Thus did our dearest Lord engage
And vanquish him alone
Him alone

10. The Lord My Shepherd Is 4:58
The Lord my shepherd is
I shall be well supplied
Since He is mine and I am His
What can I want beside

He leads me to the place
Where heav'nly pasture grows
Where living waters gently pass
And full salvation flows

Full salvation flows
Full salvation flows
Full salvation flows
The Lord my shepherd is

If e'er I go astray
He doth my soul reclaim
And guides me in His own right way
For His most holy name

While He affords His aid
I cannot yield to fear
Though I should walk through death's dark shake
My shepherd's with me there

My shepherd's with me there
My shepherd's with me there
My shepherd's with me there
The Lord my shepherd is

In sight of all my foes
Thou dost my table spread
My cup with blessing overflows
And joy exalts my head

The bounties of Thy love
Shall crown my following days
Nor from Thy house will I remove
Nor cease to speak Thy praise

Nor cease to speak Thy praise
Nor cease to speak Thy praise
Nor cease to speak Thy praise
The Lord my shepherd is

The Lord my shepherd is

11. My Shepherd Is The Lord My God 3:37
My shepherd is the Lord my God
What can I want beside
He leads me where green pastures are
And where cool waters hide

He will refresh my soul again
When I am faint and sore
And guide my step for His name's sake
In right paths evermore

Though I should walk the vale of death
I should not know a fear
Thy rod and staff they comfort me
Thou, Lord, art ever near

A table Thou hast spread for me
In presence of my foes
Thou dost anoint my head with oil
My cup, Lord, overflows

Thy goodness and Thy mercy, Lord
Will surely follow me
And in Thy house forevermore
My dwelling place shall be

12. Black Snake (Bloodgood cover) 2:31
Down, down, down below the grave
Heaven has turned away
Dust, dust, dust will be his feed
A lethal blow to end his days

Lies, lies, lies are all he speaks
Contamination of your mind
Dark, dark, darkness fills your eyes
Delusion tries to make you blind

He's like a beast who lies in hiding
A mercenary of deceit
I hear the tolling of the death bell
I see his ultimate defeat

He is the Black Snake of rebellion
He is the slayer of the young
He is the hellborn of the angels
His destiny will be the flames

Death, death is all around
But you can surely break away
Blood, blood, blood has paid the price
The Prince of Peace will show the way

He who is in me is greater
Than he who is in the world
He who is in me is greater
Than he who is in the world

13. Fear? (Lithostrotos cover) 5:40
When evil men advance against me
To devour my flesh
When my enemies and foes attack me
They will stumble and fall

Though an army besiege me
My heart will not fear
Though war break out against me
I will not be afraid

The Lord is my light and my salvation
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is stronghold of my life
Of whom shall I be afraid?

Praise be to the Lord, our God
For he heard my cry
The Lord is my strength and my shield
Demons I don't fear

O Lord, I called to you for help
And you healed me
O Lord you brought me up from the grave
Even death I don't fear

The Lord is my light and my salvation
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is stronghold of my life
Of whom shall I be afraid?

The Lord is my light
The Lord is his light
The Lord is your light
The Lord is our light

When evil men advance against me
To devour my flesh
When my enemies and foes attack me
They will stumble and fall

The Lord is my light and my salvation
Whom shall I fear?
The Lord is stronghold of my life
Of whom shall I be afraid?




Homebound (album, April 10, 2024, Coleiosis Records) (CD-R, Digital)

1. Way Home 2:45
Homebound

2. Straying Pilgrims 3:40
Here we are but straying pilgrims
Here our path is often dim
But to cheer us on our journey
Still we sing this wayside hymn

Yonder over the rolling river
Where the shining mansions rise
Soon will be our home for ever
And the smile of the blessed Giver
Gladdens all our longing eyes

Here our feet are often weary
On the hills that throng our way
Here the tempest darkly gathers
But our hearts within us say

Yonder over the rolling river
Where the shining mansions rise
Soon will be our home for ever
And the smile of the blessed Giver
Gladdens all our longing eyes

Here our souls are often fearful
Of the pilgrim's lurking foe
But the Lord is our defender
And He tells us we may know

Yonder over the rolling river
Where the shining mansions rise
Soon will be our home for ever
And the smile of the blessed Giver
Gladdens all our longing eyes

3. O Land Of God 4:52
In dreams I see the heav'nly land
With verdant vales on either hand
Bathed in the sunshine of a day
As fair, as sweet as those of May

A day that ends not, and I hear
Glad voices ringing far and near
With sweeter songs than earth can know
The heav'nly songs that haunt us so

O land of God, so fair, so bright
O land in which there is no night

I dream of thee, and dreaming, pray
That I may wake in thee some day
I dream of thee, and dreaming, pray
That I may wake in thee some happy day

Thro' gates ajar my eager feet
Go in to tread the golden street
And prophets, priests, and kings I see
A grand and goodly company

And in the midst, a great white throne
I see, and Him who sits therein
And oh, the awe that comes to me
When God's face in my dreams I see

O land of God, so fair, so bright
O land in which there is no night

I dream of thee, and dreaming, pray
That I may wake in thee some day
I dream of thee, and dreaming, pray
That I may wake in thee some happy day

Then comes a low still voice to me
Wouldst thou be of this company
Thou seest in thy dreams, and sing
The songs of Heav'n before the King

O land of God, so fair, so bright
O land in which there is no night

Then live, and dare, and do for God
And by and by, earth's journey trod
Thou shalt go in beyond the gate
And claim an heir of God's estate

O land of God, so fair, so bright
O land in which there is no night

I dream of thee, and dreaming, pray
That I may wake in thee some day
I dream of thee, and dreaming, pray
That I may wake in thee some happy day

4. Home At Last 5:16
Hark the song of holy rapture
Hear it break from yonder strand
Where our friends for us are waiting
In the olden summer land

They have reached the port of glory
O'er the Jordan they have passed

And with millions they are shouting
Home at last, home at last
And with millions they are shouting
Home at last

O, the long and sweet reunion
Where the bells of time shall cease
O, the greeting, endless greeting
On the vernal heights of peace

Where the hoping and desponding
Of the weary heart are past

And we enter life eternal
Home at last, home at last
And we enter life eternal
Home at last

Look beyond, the skies are clearing
See, the mist dissolves away
Soon our eyes will catch the dawning
Of a bright, celestial day

And rejoicing we shall gather
Home at last, home at last
And rejoicing we shall gather
Home at last

Soon the shadows will be lifted
Home at last, home at last
That around us now are cast
Home at last

5. The Bright Forever 5:25
Breaking through the clouds that gather
O'er the Christian's natal skies
Distant beams, like floods of glory
Fill the soul with glad surprise

And we almost hear the echo
Of the pure and holy throng
In the bright, the bright forever
In the summer land of song

Yet a little while we linger
Ere we reach our journey's end
Yet a little while of labor
Ere the evening shades descend

Then we'll lay us down to slumber
But the night will soon be o'er
In the bright, the bright forever
We shall wake, to weep no more

The bright forever

On the banks beyond the river
We shall meet, no more to sever
In the bright, the bright forever
In the summer land of song

O the bliss of life eternal
O the long unbroken rest
In the golden fields of pleasure
In the region of the blest

But, to see our dear Redeemer
And before His throne to fall
There to bear His gracious welcome
Will be sweeter far than all

On the banks beyond the river
We shall meet, no more to sever
In the bright, the bright forever
In the summer land of song

The bright forever

6. Days Of Old 3:43
I thought upon the days of old
The years departed long
I held communion with my heart
By night recalled my song

My heart inquired with anxious care
Will God forever spurn
Shall we no more His favor see
Will mercy ne'er return

These doubts are my infirmity
My thoughts at once reply
I call back years of God's right hand
The years of God Most High

Forever shall His promise fail
Has God forgotten grace
Has He withdrawn His tender love
In anger hid His face

I will commemorate, O Lord
Thy wondrous deeds of old
And meditate upon Thy works
Of power and grace untold

O God, most holy is Thy way
Most perfect, good and right
Thou art the only living God
The God of wondrous might

These doubts are my infirmity
My thoughts at once reply
I call back years of God's right hand
The years of God Most High

7. It Is Well With My Soul 3:24
When peace, like a river
Attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot
Thou has taught me to say
It is well, it is well, with my soul

It is well, with my soul
It is well, with my soul
It is well, it is well, with my soul

My sin--oh, the bliss of
This glorious thought
My sin--not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross
And I bear it no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul

It is well, with my soul
It is well, with my soul
It is well, it is well, with my soul

And Lord, haste the day
When my faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound
And the Lord shall descend
Even so--it is well with my soul

It is well, with my soul
It is well, with my soul
It is well, it is well, with my soul

8. Look For The Way-Marks 4:49
Look for the way-marks as you journey on
Look for the way-marks passing one by one
Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four
Where are we standing? Look the way-marks o'er

First, the Assyrian kingdom ruled the world
Then Medo-Persia's banners were unfurled
And after Greece held universal sway
Rome seized the scepter--where are we today

Down in the feet of iron and of clay
Weak and divided, soon to pass away
What will the next great, glorious drama be
Christ and His coming, and eternity

Look for the way-marks as you journey on
Look for the way-marks passing one by one
Down through the ages, past the kingdoms four
Where are we standing? Look the way-marks o'er

Look for the way-marks
The great prophetic way-marks
Down through the ages
Past the kingdoms four
Look for the way-marks
The great prophetic way-marks
The journey's almost o'er

Look for the way-marks
The great prophetic way-marks
Down through the ages
Past the kingdoms four
Look for the way-marks
The great prophetic way-marks
The journey's almost o'er

Look for the way-marks
The journey's almost o'er

9. SDG, Pt. 9 3:48
Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven
Earth is with its fullness stored
Unto Thee be glory given
Holy, holy, holy Lord

Heaven is still with glory ringing
Earth takes up the angels' cry
Holy, holy, holy singing
Lord of Hosts, the Lord Most High

Ever thus, in God's high praises
Brethren, let our tongues unite
While our thought His greatness raises
And our love His gifts excite

With His seraph train before Him
With His holy Church below
Thus conspire we to adore Him
Bid we thus our anthem flow

Lord, Thy glory fills the heaven
Earth is with its fullness stored
Unto Thee be glory given
Holy, holy, holy Lord

Thus Thy glorious name confessing
We adopt the angels' cry
Holy, holy, holy blessing
Thee, the Lord of Hosts Most High

Soli Deo Gloria - SDG

10. We March To Victory 4:52
We march, we march to victory
With the cross of the Lord before us
With His loving eye looking down from the sky
And His holy arm spread o'er us

We come in the might of the Lord of light
With armor bright to meet Him
And we put to flight the armies of night
That the sons of the day may greet Him
The sons of day may greet Him

Our sword is the Spirit of God on high
Our helmet is His salvation
Our banner the cross of Calvary
Our watchword, the Incarnation

We march, we march to victory
With the cross of the Lord before us
With His loving eye looking down from the sky
And His holy arm spread o'er us

And the choir of angels with song awaits
Our march to the golden Zion
For our captain has broken the brazen gates
And burst the bars of iron
And burst the bars of iron

Then onward we march, our arms to prove
With the banner of Christ before us
With His eye of love looking down from above
And His holy arm spread o'er us

We march, we march to victory

We march, we march to victory
With the cross of the Lord before us
With His loving eye looking down from the sky
And His holy arm spread o'er us

We march, we march to victory

11. Bars Of Iron 3:49
Lift up your heads, ye gates of brass
Ye bars of iron, yield
And let the King of Glory pass
The cross is in the field

That banner, brighter than the star
That leads the train of night
Shines on their march, and guides from far
His servants to the fight

A holy war those servants wage
Mysteriously at strife
The powers of heaven and hell engage
For more than death or life

Ye armies of the living God
His sacramental host
Where hallowed footsteps never trod
Take your appointed post

Though few and small and weak your bands
Strong in your Captain's strength
Go to the conquest of all lands
All must be His at length

Those spoils at His victorious feet
You shall rejoice to lay
And lay yourselves, as trophies meet
In His great judgment day

The powers of heaven and hell engage
For more than death or life

O fear not, faint not, halt not now
Quit you like men, be strong
To Christ shall all the nations bow
And sing with you this song

Uplifted are the gates of brass
The bars of iron yield
Behold the King of Glory pass
The cross hath won the field
Uplifted are the gates of brass
The bars of iron yield
Behold the King of Glory pass
The cross hath won the field

O fear not

12. Hearts To Heaven 4:24
Alleluia, alleluia
Hearts to Heaven and voices raise
Sing to God a hymn of gladness
Sing to God a hymn of praise

He, who on the cross a victim
For the world's salvation bled
Jesus Christ, the King of glory
Now is risen from the dead

Now the iron bars are broken
Christ from death to life is born
Glorious life, and life immortal
On the holy Easter morn

Christ has triumphed, and we conquer
By His mighty enterprise
We with Him to life eternal
By His resurrection rise

Christ is risen, Christ the first-fruits
Of the holy harvest field
Which will all its full abundance
At His second coming yield

The golden ears of harvest
Will their heads before Him wave
Ripened by His glorious sunshine
From the furrows of the grave

Christ is risen, we are risen
Shed upon us heav'nly grace
Rain and dew and gleams of glory
From the brightness of Thy face

That we, with our hearts in Heaven
Here on earth may fruitful be
And by angel hands be gathered
And be ever, Lord, with Thee

Alleluia, alleluia
Glory be to God on high
Alleluia! to the Savior
Who has gained the victory

Alleluia! to the Spirit
Fount of love and sanctity
Alleluia, alleluia
To the Triune Majesty

13. The Awakening 4:04
The morning breaks, 'tis bright and clear
The shadows of the night
Are flying swift away
A stirring cry salutes the ear

By form and creed are millions bound
But God hath sent the Word
To loose the iron band
Deliverance dawns with this glad sound

The song of jubilee
It sweeps o'er land and sea
With thousand voices strong
The chorus speeds along
One word of hope and cheer
The kingdom now is near
Jesus is coming soon
He is coming soon

Salvation nears--the saints arise
And from the sleep of death
The slumbering nations wake
We too shall mount the starry skies

Our glorious King is coming soon
It may be darkest night
It may be morn or noon
In glory then His saints will reign

Awake, ye nations, from the dead
With everlasting joy
Let praise your tongues employ
By this sweet hope be comforted
All praise and glory to His name
The King of kings is He
Earth's sovereign yet to be
Let all the saints aloud proclaim

The song of jubilee
It sweeps o'er land and sea
With thousand voices strong
The chorus speeds along
One word of hope and cheer
The kingdom now is near
Jesus is coming soon
He is coming soon

If you're out there all alone
And you don't know where to go to

15. God Is My Home (Living Sacrifice cover) 4:49
Abandoned, left for dead
Kept outside, ostracized
Unwanted in your eyes
Cut me off, thrown aside

Is this why I was born?
Is this what I come from?
This world has been lost long ago
God is my home

Estranged bastard I am
Never had the reasons why
God has taken me in
Healed my wounds, loved me in my sin

Is this why I was born?
Is this what I come from?
This world has been lost long ago
God is my home

God has taken the one you never wanted
My home, God is my home
