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)

June 4, 2023, Independent (Digital)
November 1, 2023, Coleiosis Records (CD-RDigital)

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

Freedom (album, December 7, 2023, Coleiosis Records) (CD-R, Digital)

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

14. Future World (Helloween cover) 4:07
If you're out there all alone
And you don't know where to go to
Come and take a trip with me
To future world
And if you're running through your life
And you don't know what the sense is
Come and look how it could be in future world
We all live in happiness our life is full of joy
We say the world tomorrow without fear
The feeling of togetherness is always at our side
We love our life and we know we will stay

'Cause we all live in future world
A world that's full of love
Our future life will be glorious
Come with me future world

You say you'd like to stay
But this is not your time
Go back, find your own way to future world
Life can be for living
Just try and never give in
Tell everyone the way of future world
One day you'll live in happiness
With a heart that's full of joy
You'll say the world tomorrow without fear
The feeling of togetherness will I be at your side
You'll say you love your life and you'll know why

'Cause we all live in future world
A world that's full of love
Our future life will be glorious
Come with me future world

Scream it out
We all live in future world
A world that's full of love
Our future life will be glorious
Come with me
Come with me

Come with me future world

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




Sinai (album, June 18, 2024, Coleiosis Records) (CD-R, Digital)

1. Peace, Doubting Heart 5:19
Peace, doubting heart! My God's I am
Who formed me man, forbids my fear
The Lord hath called me by my name
The Lord protects, for ever near

His blood for me did once atone
And still He loves and guards His own
When passing through the watery deep
I ask in faith His promised aid

The waves all awful distance keep
And shrink from my devoted head
Fearless their violence I dare
They cannot harm, for God is there!

To Him mine eye of faith I turn
And through the fire pursue my way
The fire forgets its power to burn
The lambent flames around me play

I own His power, accept the sign
And shout to prove the Savior mine
Still nigh me, O my Savior, stand!
And guard in fierce temptation's hour

Hide in the hollow Thy hand
Show forth in me Thy saving power
Still be Thy arms my pure defense
Nor earth nor hell shall pluck me thence

Since Thou hast bid me come to Thee
Good as Thou art, and strong to save
I'll walk o'er life's tempestuous sea
Upborne by the unyielding wave

Dauntless, though rocks of pride be near
And yawning whirlpools of despair
When darkness intercepts the skies
And sorrow's waves around me roll

When high the storms of passion rise
And half o'erwhelm my sinking soul
My soul a sudden calm shall feel
And hear a whisper, peace; be still!

Though in affliction's furnace tried
Unhurt on snares and death I'll tread
Though sin assail, and hell, thrown wide
Pour all its flames upon my head

Peace, doubting heart! My God's I am
The Lord hath called me by my name
Like Moses' bush, I'll mount the higher
And flourish unconsumed in fire

2. I Will Pass Over You 4:19
When God of old the way of life
Would teach to all His own
He placed them safe beyond the reach
Of death, by blood alone

By Christ, the sinless Lamb of God
The precious blood was shed
When He fulfilled God's holy Word
And suffered in our stead

It is His Word, God's precious Word
It stands forever true
When I the Lord shall see the blood
I will pass over you

O soul, for thee salvation thus
By God is freely giv'n
The blood of Christ atones for sin
And makes us meet for Heav'n

The wrath of God that was our due
Upon the Lamb was laid
And by the shedding of His blood
The debt for us was paid

It is His Word, God's precious Word
It stands forever true
When I the Lord shall see the blood
I will pass over you

How calm the Judgment hour shall pass
To all who do obey
The Word of God, and trust the blood
And make that Word their stay!

It is His Word, God's precious Word
It stands forever true
When I the Lord shall see the blood
I will pass over you

3. The Blood Upon The Door 4:33
When the Lord passed over Egypt
There was weeping everywhere
For the angel smote the firstborn
Of each family dwelling there
But some houses He passed over
And His word had said before
And death entered not the portals
Where the blood was on the door

Precious blood upon the door
Saving blood upon the door
O, my soul, there is no danger
When the blood is on the door

We are in a land of danger
And death lurks on every hand
But that soul has perfect safety
Who obeys the Lord's command
For secure in God's pavilion
He can watch life's breakers roar
For God's angels guard that dwelling
Where the blood is on the door

Not the blood of lambs or cattle
Sprinkled over any part
But the blood of Christ the Savior
Can redeem a human heart
Then when death those ties shall sever
And we walk on earth no more
We may live with Christ forever
If His blood is on the door

Precious blood upon the door
Saving blood upon the door
O, my soul, there is no danger
When the blood is on the door

4. When Israel, Freed From Pharaoh's Hand 4:21
When Israel, freed from Pharaoh's hand
Left the proud tyrant and his land
The tribes with cheerful homage own
Their king, and Judah was His throne

Across the deep their journey lay
The deep divides to make them way
Jordan beheld their march, and fled
With backward current to his head

The mountains shook like frighted sheep
Like lambs the little hillocks leap
Not Sinai on her base could stand
Conscious of sovereign power at hand

When Israel, freed from Pharaoh's hand
Left the proud tyrant and his land
Across the deep their journey lay
The deep divides to make them way

What power could make the deep divide?
Make Jordan backward roll his tide?
Why did ye leap, ye little hills?
And whence the fright that Sinai feels?

Let every mountain, every flood
Retire and know th'approaching God
The King of Israel: see Him here
Tremble, thou earth, adore and fear

He thunders, and all nature mourns
The rock to standing pools He turns
Flints spring with fountains at His word
And fires and seas confess the Lord

The mountains shook like frighted sheep
Like lambs the little hillocks leap
Not Sinai on her base could stand
Conscious of sovereign power at hand

When Israel, freed from Pharaoh's hand
Left the proud tyrant and his land
Across the deep their journey lay
The deep divides to make them way

Make them way 

5. O The Way Is Long And Weary 6:03
O the way is long and weary
And our bleeding feet are sore
Is it far to Canaan's land?
Is it far to Canaan's land?
In the desert we are longing
For its shelter more and more
Is it far, is it far to Canaan's land?

We are weary, we are weary
We are weary, we are weary
Sadly wand'ring thro' the wilderness
And o'er the desert sand
We are weary, oh so weary
Is it far to Canaan's land?

Thro' the wilderness we're foll'wing
Where the stronger ones have led
Is it far to Canaan's land?
Is it far to Canaan's land?
Where the sand is often burning
And the ground our only bed
Is it far, is it far to Canaan's land?

We are weary, we are weary
We are weary, we are weary
Sadly wand'ring thro' the wilderness
And o'er the desert sand
We are weary, oh so weary
Is it far to Canaan's land?

O how sweet would be a resting place
A safe and quiet home
Is it far to Canaan's land?
Is it far to Canaan's land?
Where the cruel days of bondage
And of fear will never come
Is it far, is it far to Canaan's land?

We are weary, we are weary
We are weary, we are weary
Sadly wand'ring thro' the wilderness
And o'er the desert sand
We are weary, oh so weary
Is it far to Canaan's land?

6. Have Mercy, Lord 4:24
That man a godly life might live
God did these Ten Commandments give
By His true servant Moses, high
Upon the Mount Sinai

I am thy God and Lord alone
No other God before Me own
Put thy whole confidence in Me
And love Me e'er cordially

By idle word and speech profane
Take not My holy name in vain
And praise but that as good and true
Which I Myself say and do

Hallow the day which God hath blest
That thou and all thy house may rest
Keep hand and heart from labor free
That God may so work in thee

Give to thy parents honor due
But dutiful, and loving, too
And help them when their strength decays
So shalt thou have length of days
Have mercy, Lord!

Kill thou not out of evil will
Nor hate, nor render ill for ill
Be patient and of gentle mood
And to thy foe do thou good

Be faithful to thy marriage vows
Thy heart give only to thy spouse
Thy life keep pure, and lest thou sin
Use temperance and discipline

Steal not; oppressive acts abhor
Nor wring their life blood from the poor
But open wide thy loving hand
To all the poor in the land

Have mercy, Lord

Bear not false witness nor belie
Thy neighbor by foul calumny
Defend his innocence from blame
With charity hide his shame

Thy neighbor's house desire thou not
His wife, nor aught that he hath got
But wish that his such good may be
As thy heart doth wish for thee

God these commandments gave therein
To show thee, child of man, thy sin
And make thee also well perceive
How man unto God should live

Help us, Lord Jesus Christ, for we
A mediator have in Thee
Our works cannot salvation gain
They merit but endless pain

Have mercy, Lord!

7. I'm Abiding In Canaan Land 4:10
I'm abiding today in Canaan land
In the sunlight of God's love
And the Savior's face ever shines before me
As I journey to my home above

'Tis a foretaste of coming glory yonder
In that land beyond the sky
Where in bliss untold I shall ever wander
In the blessed homeland by and by

Since He washed my sin away
It is my glory all the way
All my sins have been forgiv'n
And I'm on my way to Heav'n

Won't you enter the land of peace and blessing
And its rapture with me share?
All your sin and guilt to the Lord confessing
You will have a blessed welcome there

Since He washed my sin away
It is my glory all the way
All my sins have been forgiv'n
And I'm on my way to Heav'n

All my sins have been forgiv'n
And I'm on my way to Heav'n
I'm abiding in Canaan land!
I'm abiding in Canaan land!

Since He washed my sin away
It is my glory all the way
All my sins have been forgiv'n
And I'm on my way to Heav'n

8. In Days Of Old On Sinai 4:33
In days of old on Sinai
The Lord Almighty came

In majesty of terror
In thunder cloud and flame

On Tabor, with the glory
Of sunniest light for vest
The excellence of beauty
In Jesus was expressed

All light created paled there
And did Him worship meet
The sun itself adored Him
And bowed before His feet

While Moses and Elias
Upon the holy mount
The co-eternal glory
Of Christ our God recount

O holy, wondrous vision!
But what when, this life past
The beauty of Mount Tabor
Shall end in Heav'n at last?

But what when all the glory
Of uncreated light
Shall be the promised guerdon
Of them that win the fight?

In days of old on Sinai
The Lord Almighty came

In majesty of terror
In thunder cloud and flame

O holy, wondrous vision!
But what when, this life past
The beauty of Mount Tabor
Shall end in Heav'n at last?

But what when all the glory
Of uncreated light
Shall be the promised guerdon
Of them that win the fight?

9. The Lord Of Might From Sinai's Brow 3:37
The Lord of might, from Sinai's brow
Gave forth His voice of thunder
And Israel lay on earth below
Outstretched in fear and wonder

Beneath His feet was pitchy night
And at His left hand and His right
The rocks were rent asunder!
Rent asunder

The Lord of love, on Calvary
A meek and suffering stranger
Upraised to Heaven His languid eye
In nature's hour of danger

For us He bore the weight of woe
For us He gave His blood to flow
And met His Father's anger
His Father's anger

The Lord of love, the Lord of might
The King of all created
Shall back return to clam His right
On clouds of glory seated

With trumpet sound and angel song
And hallelujahs loud and long
O'er death and hell defeated!

10. SDG, Pt. 10 3:55
Father all holy, bend we so lowly
Glowing with love's tender flame
Father in Heaven, praises be given
Hallowed forever Thy name

Soli Deo Gloria - SDG!

Telling the story, spreading Thy glory
Send forth Thy people, we pray
Till every nation know Thy salvation
Under Thy kingdom's full sway

Angels adore Thee, waiting before Thee
Swift Thy commands to fulfill
Grant us, we pray Thee, grace to obey Thee
Choosing and serving Thy will

Father, now lead us, day by day feed us
Ever provide and defend
Trespass confessing, seeking Thy blessing
Pardon and peace without end

Soli Deo Gloria - SDG!

From sin deliver, keep us forever
Kingdom and glory are Thine
Thine, too, the power, hear us this hour
Father, our Father divine!

Jesus is pleading, still interceding
For His redeemed ones again
For His sake hear us, in His name cheer us
He is the faithful Amen

Soli Deo Gloria - SDG!

11. The Bitter Waters 5:12
Bitter, indeed, the waters are
Which in this desert flow
Though to the eye they promise fair
They taste of sin and woe

Of pleasing draughts I once could dream
But now, awake, I find
That sin has poisoned every stream
And left a curse behind

But there's a wonder-working wood
I've heard believers say
Can make these bitter waters good
And take the curse away

The virtues of this healing tree
Are known and prized by few
Reveal this secret, Lord, to me
That I may prize it too

The cross on which the Savior died
And conquered for His saints
This is the tree, by faith applied
Which sweetens all complaints

Thousands have found the blest effect
Nor longer mourn their lot
While on His sorrows they reflect
Their own are all forgot

When they, by faith, behold the cross
Tho' many griefs they meet
They draw again from every loss
And find the bitter sweet

Behold the cross
Find the bitter sweet

12. Defend Us, Lord, From Every Ill 4:12
Lord, from far-severed climes we come
To meet at last in Thee, our Home
Thou who hast been our guide and guard
Be still our hope, our rich reward

Defend us, Lord, from every ill
Strengthen our hearts to do Thy will
In all we plan and all we do
Still keep us to Thy service true

O let us hear the inspiring word
Which they of old at Horeb heard
Breathe to our hearts the high command
Go onward and possess the land!

Thou who are light, shine on each soul!
Thou who are truth, each mind control!
Open our eyes and make us see
The path which leads to Heaven and Thee!

Lord, from far-severed climes we come
To meet at last in Thee, our Home
Thou who hast been our guide and guard
Be still our hope, our rich reward

Defend us, Lord, from every ill
Strengthen our hearts to do Thy will
In all we plan and all we do
Still keep us to Thy service true

Thou who are light, shine on each soul!
Thou who are truth, each mind control!
Open our eyes and make us see
The path which leads to Heaven and Thee!

Defend us, Lord, from every ill

13. Glorious Is Thy Name, O Lord 4:48
Glorious is Thy name, O Lord!
Heav'n and earth with one accord
Tell Thy greatness, part revealed
But the larger part concealed
How shall we poor singers dare
Seek Thy face in praise and prayer?

Fearful is Thy name, O Lord!
Dread Thy voice and sharp Thy sword
Thunders roll around Thy path
None can stand before Thy wrath!
How shall trembling sinners dare
Lift their voice in praise and prayer?

Yet with all Thy wondrous might
Far beyond our mortal sight
Perfect wisdom, boundless powers
Thou, O glorious God! art ours
So, though filled with awe, we dare
Name Thy name in praise and prayer

Since, to save a world undone
Thou didst give Thine only Son
All Thy greatness, Lord Most High
Brings Thee to our hearts more nigh
Thus in faith and hope we dare
Claim Thy love in praise and prayer

Thus in faith and hope we dare
Claim Thy love in praise and prayer

14. There Is A House Not Made With Hands 4:54
There is a house not made with hands
Eternal and on high
And here my spirit waiting stands
Till God shall bid it fly

Shortly this prison of my clay
Must be dissolved and fall
Then, O my soul! with joy obey
Thy heav'nly Father's call

'Tis He, by His almighty grace
That forms Thee fit for Heav'n
And, as an earnest of the place
Has His own Spirit giv'n

We walk by faith of joys to come
Faith lives upon His Word
But while the body is our home
We're absent from the Lord

'Tis pleasant to believe Thy grace
But we had rather see
We would be absent from the flesh
And present, Lord, with Thee

There is a house not made with hands
Eternal and on high
And here my spirit waiting stands
Till God shall bid it fly

Fly

15. Go Down Moses 2:57
When Israel was in Egypt's land
Let My people go
Oppressed so hard they could not stand
Let My people go

Go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt's land
Tell old Pharaoh
To let My people go

Thus saith the Lord, bold Moses said
Let My people go
If not I'll smite your first born dead
Let My people go

Go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt's land
Tell old Pharaoh
To let My people go

No more in bondage shall they toil
Let My people go
Let them come out with Egypt's spoil
Let My people go

Go down, Moses
Way down in Egypt's land
Tell old Pharaoh
To let My people go

16. Benediction (Lithostrotos cover) 5:01
Blessed are all who fear the Lord
Who walk in obedience to him

You will eat the fruit of your labour
Blessings and prosperity will be yours

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house
Your children will be like olive shoots round your table

Your wife will be like a fruitful vine within your house
Your children will be like olive shoots round your table
Yes, this will be the blessing for the man who fears the Lord

Peace be upon Israel

May the Lord bless you from Zion all the days of your life
May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
May you live to see your children's children
Your children's children

17. Creeping Death (Metallica cover) 6:36
Slaves
Hebrews born to serve, to the pharaoh
Heed
To his every word, live in fear
Faith
Of the unknown one, the deliverer
Wait
Something must be done, four hundred years

So let it be written
So let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death

Now
Let my people go, land of Goshen
Go
I will be with thee, bush of fire
Blood
Running red and strong, down the Nile
Plague
Darkness three days long, hail to fire

So let it be written
So let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death

Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first-born man

Die by my hand
I creep across the land
Killing first-born man

I
Rule the midnight air, the destroyer
Born
I shall soon be there, deadly mass
I
Creep the steps and floor, final darkness
Blood
Lamb's blood, painted door, I shall pass

So let it be written
So let it be done
I'm sent here by the chosen one
So let it be written
So let it be done
To kill the first born pharaoh son
I'm creeping death




Soli Deo Gloria (album, August 14, 2024, Coleiosis Records) (CD-R, Digital)

1. Glory Bound 3:54
Tho' I once was lost in sin
I am found, I am found
And I'm on the upward way
I am glory bound

In the Savior's tender care
I cam kept from every snare
O there's gladness everywhere
I'm glory bound!

Glory bound
There is gladness in my soul
I'm glory bound
O there's gladness in my soul

I heard Jesus' loving voice
Joyful sound, joyful sound
And I made Him then my choice
I am glory bound

Glory bound
There is gladness in my soul
I'm glory bound
O there's gladness in my soul

Joy and gladness thrills my soul
And His name I here extol
Blessed thought! He made me whole
I'm glory bound!

Bright the sunlight of His love
All around, all around
Wafts my soul to Heav'n above
I am glory bound

When my journey here is o'er
On some bright and happy shore
I will praise Him evermore
I'm glory bound

Glory bound
There is gladness in my soul
I'm glory bound
O there's gladness in my soul

2. Hail, God The Son, In Glory Crowned 3:50
Hail, God the Son, in glory crowned
Ere time began to be
Throned with thy Sire, through half the round
Of vast eternity
Thy wondrous love the Godhead showed
Contracted to a span
The co-eternal Son of God
The mortal Son of man

Let Heaven, and earth's stupendous frame
Display their author's power
And each exalted seraph-flame
Creator, Thee adore
Hail, God the Son, in glory crowned
Hail, God the Son, hail, God the Son

To save us from our lost estate
Behold His life-blood stream
Hail Lord, almighty to create
Almighty to redeem
The Mediator's God-like sway
His Church below sustains
Till nature shall her judge survey
The King Messiah reigns

Let Heaven, and earth's stupendous frame
Display their author's power
And each exalted seraph-flame
Creator, Thee adore
Hail, God the Son, in glory crowned
Hail, God the Son, hail, God the Son

Hail, with essential glory crowned
When time shall cease to be
Throned with thy Father, through the round
Of whole eternity

Let Heaven, and earth's stupendous frame
Display their author's power
And each exalted seraph-flame
Creator, Thee adore
Hail, God the Son, in glory crowned
Hail, God the Son, hail, God the Son
Hail, God the Son, hail
Hail, God the Son, hail, hail, hail
Hail, God the Son

3. The Shining Of His Face 3:56
What are the joys of earth to one
Who sees the Master's face
What is the shining of the sun
Beside the Master's grace

Before the splendor of his worth
Our earthly lights are dim
We gladly leave the things of earth
To follow after him

His love has blessed us all our days
His care each gift bestows
He leadeth us beside the ways
Where living water flows

And if we follow in his lead
Whatever may befall
His gifts shall satisfy each need
Sufficient unto all

Thy care has crowned our every hour
Be with us still, O Lord
First the full bud, and then the flower
Shall blossom at Thy word
Unto this waiting heart of mine
Reveal Thy perfect grace
And let me see, by love divine
The shining of thy face

His love has blessed us all our days
His care each gift bestows
He leadeth us beside the ways
Where living water flows

And let me see, by love divine
The shining of thy face

4. Always And Ever 3:29
Always and ever, God reigns eternal
Ceaseless, unchanging, Ancient of Days
From choirs below and angels supernal
Alpha-Omega hears endless praise

In the beginning, ere the first star birth
There was the Father, Spirit and Son
Maker, Creator, Heaven and earth
Sprang from His will--the plan was begun

Down through the ages, secrets unlocking
To save a people fettered with sin
He sent the Word, He's tenderly knocking
Open your heart and let Him come in

Always and ever, you can be with Him
In paradise, there no more to grieve
Praising forever, Savior and Sovereign
Through endless ages--only believe

Always and ever, you can be with Him
Only believe

5. God In His Temple 4:27
God is in His temple
The almighty Father
Round His footstool let us gather
Him with adoration
Serve the Lord most holy
Who hath mercy on the lowly
Let us raise hymns of praise
For His great salvation
God is in His temple

Christ comes to His temple
We, His Word receiving
Are made happy in believing
Lo! from sin delivered
He hath turned our sadness
Our deep gloom to light and gladness
Let us raise hymns of praise
For our bonds are severed
Christ comes to His temple

In thy eternal temple
God is in His temple

Come and claim Thy temple
Gracious Holy Spirit
In our hearts Thy home inherit
Make in us Thy dwelling
Thy high work fulfilling
Into ours Thy will instilling
Til we raise hymns of praise
Beyond mortal telling
In the eternal temple

In thy eternal temple
God is in His temple

In thy eternal temple
God is in His temple

6. Eternal Power, Almighty God 3:36
Eternal power, almighty God
Who can approach thy throne
Accessless light is thy abode
To angel eyes unknown

Before the radiance of thine eye
The heav'ns no longer shine
And all the glories of the sky
Are but the shade of thine

Great God, and wilt thou condescend
To cast a look below
To this vile world thy notice blend
These seats of sin and woe

But oh! to show thy smiling face
To bring thy glories near
Amazing and transporting grace
To dwell with mortals here

How strange! How awful is thy love
With trembling we adore

Not all th'exalted minds above
Its wonders can explore

With golden harps, and angel tongues
Resound immortal lays
Great God, permit our humble songs
To rise and mean thy praise

7. The Potter And The Clay 4:42
As clay within the potter's hand
Responsive to his will
So let us be, and in us, Lord
Thy purposes fulfill
Made willing in thy day of power
Each restless spirit still

Lord, make this place thy potter's house
Where thou shalt have thy way
To mold and fashion as thou wilt
Upon thy wheel today
Cleansing from sin's impurity
Make pliant as the day

Thou hast a purpose in each life
Thou hast thine own great plan
Thou seest possibilities
Unseen by us in man
And where man says, "Impossible"
Thy love has said, "I can"

Lord, make this place thy potter's house
Where thou shalt have thy way
To mold and fashion as thou wilt
Upon thy wheel today
Cleansing from sin's impurity
Make pliant as the day
Cleansing from sin's impurity
Make pliant as the day

Dear Lord, too oft we've hindered thee
And would not passive lie
And let thee work thy work in us
Thy name to glorify
Now with desire thy will be done
Our longing spirits cry

Lord, make this place thy potter's house
Where thou shalt have thy way
To mold and fashion as thou wilt
Upon thy wheel today
Cleansing from sin's impurity
Make pliant as the day
Cleansing from sin's impurity
Make pliant as the day

8. Sweet Will Of God 4:47
My stubborn will at last hath yielded
I would be thine, and thine alone
And this the prayer my lips are bringing
Lord, let in me thy will be done

Sweet will of God, still fold me closer
Till I am wholly lost in thee
Sweet will of God, still fold me closer
Till I am wholly lost in thee

I'm tired of sin, footsore and weary
The darksome path hath dreary grown
But now a light has ris'n to cheer me
I find in thee my star, my sun

Thy precious will, O conquering Savior
Doth now embrace and compass me

All discords hushed, my peace a river
My soul, a prisoned bird, set free

Sweet will of God, still fold me closer
Till I am wholly lost in thee
Sweet will of God, still fold me closer
Till I am wholly lost in thee

Shut in with thee, O Lord, forever
My wayward feet no more to roam
What power from thee my soul can sever
The center of God's will my home

Sweet will of God

9. All Glory Be To God On High 4:50
All glory be to God on high
Who hath our race befriended
To us no harm shall now come nigh
The strife at last is ended

God showeth His goodwill to men
And peace shall reign on earth again
O thank Him for His goodness

We praise, we worship Thee, we trust
And give Thee thanks forever
O Father, that Thy rule is just
And wise, and changes never

Thy boundless grace o'er all things reigns
Thou dost whate'er Thy will ordains
'Tis well Thou art our Ruler

O Jesus Christ, our God and Lord
Begotten of the Father
O Thou who hast our peace restored
And the lost sheep dost gather

Thou Lamb of God, enthroned on high
Behold our need and hear our cry
Have mercy on us, Jesus

O Holy Spirit, precious Gift
Thou comforter unfailing
Do Thou our troubled souls uplift
Against the foe prevailing

Avert our woes and claim our dread
For us the Savior's blood was shed
Do Thou in faith sustain us

All glory be to God on high

10. The Kingdom Is Coming 4:02
From all the dark places of earth's heathen races
O see how the thick shadows fly
The voice of salvation awakes every nation
Come over and help us, they cry

The sunlight is glancing o'er armies advancing
To conquer the kingdoms of sin
Our Lord shall possess them, his presence shall bless them
His beauty shall enter them in

The kingdom is coming, O tell ye the story
God's banner exalted shall be
The earth shall be full of His knowledge and glory
As waters that cover the sea

With shouting and singing, and jubilant ringing
Their arms of rebellion cast down
At last every nation the Lord of salvation
Their king and Redeemer shall crown

The kingdom is coming, O tell ye the story
God's banner exalted shall be
The earth shall be full of His knowledge and glory
As waters that cover the sea

With shouting and singing, and jubilant ringing
Their arms of rebellion cast down
At last every nation the Lord of salvation
Their king and Redeemer shall crown

The kingdom is coming, O tell ye the story
God's banner exalted shall be
The earth shall be full of His knowledge and glory
As waters that cover the sea

The kingdom is coming, O tell ye the story
God's banner exalted shall be
The earth shall be full of His knowledge and glory
As waters that cover the sea

11. SDG, Pt. 11 4:32
Glory, glory, glory, Lord, our creator
Numbers without number around Thy throne proclaim
Glory, glory, glory, majesty, dominion
Truth, love and mercy crown Thy holy name

SDG - Soli Deo Gloria

Glory, glory, glory, Lord, our creator
Thou alone hast conquered, the kingdom Thine shall be
Glory, glory, glory, multitudes adoring
Now with rejoicing lift their souls to Thee

Glory, glory, glory, Thine be the glory
Father, Son and Spirit, eternal Three in One
Glory, glory, glory as in the beginning
Now and forever let Thy will be done

12. Around The Throne Of God In Heaven 4:48
Singing, Glory
Glory be to God on high

Around the throne of God in Heaven
Thousands of children stand
Children whose sins are all forgiven
A holy, happy band

Singing, Glory
Glory be to God on high

In flowing robes of spotless white
See everyone arrayed
Dwelling in everlasting light
And joys that never fade

What brought them to the world above
That Heaven so bright and fair
Where all is peace, and joy, and love
How came those children there

Because the Savior shed His blood
To wash away their sin
Bathed in that pure and precious flood
Behold them white and clean

On earth they sought the Savior's grace
On earth they loved His name

So now they see His blessed face
And stand before the Lamb

Singing, Glory
Glory be to God on high

Around the throne of God in Heaven
Thousands of children stand
Children whose sins are all forgiven
A holy, happy band

Singing, Glory
Glory be to God on high

13. Magnificat (Benediction cover) 4:45
Follow the bleeder, undamned you decry
Consummate spirits ne'er follow the lie
Open your heart towards that your mind feels
Death is to conquer all that is surreal

Fortune's enlightenment, hopeful rays of light
Dramatic abundance, shattering the night
Grow biting conflict, halted to an end
The future is certain, the hope we defend

MAGNIFICAT

Upholding the righteous, onward march begun
Deftly remoulding a darkened vision
Strength within unity, mind linking mind
Enveloping beauty, the next humankind

The filth that we all have to climb through
The filth we have to take
Suffering it evermore
Irenicon the wake

"My soul doth magnify...
...My spirit has rejoiced
...Remembrance of... mercy...
To his seed forever..."

Yet they lead us to the slaughter
Like they lead a horse to water
They can't force us to drink
But we do

MAGNIFICAT... throned

Persevere

So teach us to number our days that we may
Push hearts towards wisdom and fade out the grey
Interventions looming on our dawning world
Hope springs eternal, a hope now unfurled

Persevere

14. Burning (Accept cover) 5:08
I hear a rock 'n' roll guitar
Screamin' wild on the radio
Well, I know what I like
Know and it's right
Gotta take me through the night

The sound is comin' out
It's breakin' down the doors
Like an earthquake
Explodin' your brains
Do it again, power is a natural right

I say, hey rock 'n' roller
Power in your hands
You and your music
Right on rockin' man

You gotta hear it for a while
It bowls you over, like dreamin'
Oh, hell what a night
Keep a rockin' on night
Hey, boy can't you see the light

I say, hey rock 'n' roller
Power in your hands
You and your music
Right on rockin' man

Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, burning just like fire

I say, hey rock 'n' roller
Power in your hands
You and your music
Right on rockin' man

Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, a rock 'n' roll desire
Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, a rock 'n' roll desire
Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, burning just like fire

I say, hey rock 'n' roller
Power in your hands
You and your music
Right on rockin' man

Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, burning just like fire
Burning, burning, burning just like fire

1. Lord Of All Creation 4:45
Lord of all creation
Now before thy throne
We thy people bring thee
Gifts that are thine own

Of thine own we offer
Of thy gifts we give
Unto thee, O Father
In whose life all live

All the gold and silver
Corn on plains and hills
Grass upon the mountains
Water in the rills
All things yield thee glory
With thy light they shine
Thou all art inspirest
Science, skill are thine

Body, soul, and spirit
Thought and speech, and song
Come of thee, Creator
And to thee belong
These in bounden duty
We devote to thee
Thine is all the dower
Thine the glory be

Of thine own we offer
Of thy gifts we give
Unto thee, O Father
In whose life all live

Thine is all the greatness
Power and glory thine
High o'er all exalted
Majesty divine

Of thine own we offer
Of thy gifts we give
Unto thee, O Father
In whose life all live

2. When Adam Fell 6:03
When Adam fell, he quickly lost
God's image, which he once possessed
See all our nature since could boast
In Cain, his first-born son, expressed

The sacrifice the Lord ordained
In type of the redeemer's blood
Self-righteous reasoning Cain disdained
And thought his own first-fruits as good

Yet rage and envy filled his mind
When, with a sullen, downcast look
He saw his brother favor find
Who God's appointed method took

By Cain's own hand, good Abel died
Because the Lord approved his faith
And, when his blood for vengeance cried
He vainly thought to hide his death

Such was the wicked murderer Cain
And such by nature still are we
Until by grace we're born again
Malicious, blind and proud, as he

Like him the way of grace we slight
And in our own devices trust
Call evil good, and darkness light
And hate and persecute the just

The saints, in every age and place
Have found this history fulfilled
The numbers all our thoughts surpass
Of Abels, whom the Cains have killed

Thus Jesus fell--but O! his blood
Far better things than Abel's cries
Obtains his murderers peace with God
And gains them mansions in the skies

Thus Jesus fell--but O! his blood
Far better things than Abel's cries
Obtains his murderers peace with God
And gains them mansions in the skies

3. In Every Time And Place 5:12
In every time and place
Who serve the Lord most high
Are called his sovereign will to embrace
And still their own deny

To follow his command
On earth as pilgrims rove
And seek an undiscovered land
And house, and friends above

Father, the narrow path
To that far country show
And in the steps of Abraham's faith
Enable me to go

A cheerful sojourner
Where'er thou bidd'st me roam
Till, guided by thy spirit here
I reach my heavenly home

Father, the narrow path
To that far country show
Till, guided by thy spirit here
I reach my heavenly home

4. Escape For Thy Life 4:33
See Sodom wrapped in fire
And hark, what piercing shrieks
Those daring rebels now expire
For God in justice speaks

O sinner, mark thy fate
Soon will the Judge appear
And then thy cries will come too late
Too late for God to hear

Thy day of mercy gone
The Spirit grieved away
Thy cup, long filling, now o'erflown
Demands the vengeful day

O sinner, mark thy fate

Thy God, insulted, seems
To draw His glittering sword
And o'er thy guilty head it gleams
To vindicate His Word

One only hope I see
O, sinner, seize it now
The blood that Jesus shed for thee
No other hope hast thou

One only hope I see
O, sinner, seize it now
The blood that Jesus shed for thee
No other hope hast thou

No other hope, no other hope hast thou

5. Come, Thou Universal Blessing 3:49
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Come, Thou universal blessing
Abraham's long expected seed
Perfect peace and joy unceasing
Thro' the ransomed nations spread

Devilish pride, and brutal passion
Far from every heart remove
Bless us with Thy full salvation
Bless us with Thy heavenly love

Hallelujah
Bless us with Thy full salvation
Hallelujah
Bless us with Thy heavenly love
Hallelujah

Happy is the man forgiven
This let every sinner feel
Taste in Thee his present heaven
Pant for greater blessings still

Hallelujah
Bless us with Thy full salvation
Hallelujah
Bless us with Thy heavenly love
Hallelujah

O that all anew created
Might Thine image here retrieve
Then to paradise translated
In Thy glorious presence live

Hallelujah
Bless us with Thy full salvation
Hallelujah
Bless us with Thy heavenly love
Hallelujah

6. As The Serpent Raised By Moses 6:04
As the serpent raised by Moses
Healed the burning serpent's bite
Jesus thus Himself discloses
To the wounded sinner's sight
Hear His gracious invitation
"I have life and peace to give
I have wrought out full salvation
Sinner, look to Me and live"

"Pore upon your sins no longer
Well I know their mighty guilt
But My love than death is stronger
I My blood have freely spilt
Though your heart has long been heardened
Look on me--it soft shall grow
Past transgressions shall be pardoned
And I'll wash you white as snow"

"I have seen what you were doing
Though you little thought of Me
You were madly bent on ruin
But I said--it shall not be"

"You had been for ever wretched
Had I not espoused your part
Now behold My arms outstretched
To receive you to My heart"

"Well may shame, and joy, and wonder
All your inward passions move
I could crush thee with My thunder
But I speak to thee in love
See! your sins are all forgiven
I have paid the countless sum!
Now My death has opened Heaven
Thither you shall shortly come"

Dearest Savior, we adore Thee
For Thy precious life and death
Melt each stubborn heart before Thee
Give us all the eye of faith
From the law's condemning sentence
To Thy mercy we appeal
Thou alone canst give repentance
Thou alone our souls canst heal

7. God's Three Hundred 4:15
Once, Gideon at God's command
Took from his army great and grand
A chosen few, a little band
Of just three hundred
The rank and file, to their dismay
Were then discharged and sent away
But with the few he won the day
With those three hundred

Today we see church buildings stand
In every city of our land
But in each fight God has a band
His own three hundred
Thro' rain or shine, thro' dark or light
These soldiers stand up for the right
And always win, tho' fierce the fight
God's own three hundred

The grave three hundred
The Lord's three hundred
O help us, Lord, to numbered be
With Thy three hundred

The grave three hundred
The Lord's three hundred
O help us, Lord, to numbered be
With Thy three hundred

With Thy three hundred oh, help us, Lord, to watch and pray
That we at last may hear Thee say
Well done, ye nobly won the day
My own three hundred
Then, when there are no foes to fight
In that blest land where comes no night
O may we walk with Thee in white
Thy saved three hundred

8. Here Am I 5:01
As the Lord to Samuel spoke
In silent night hours long gone by
If His voice should you awake
Would you answer Here am I

Here am I, here am I
When my name is called
Here am I, here am I
I'll answer Here am I

When the Lord calls you to strive
Against the wrongs that round you lie
Every day of earthly life
Will you answer Here am I

Here am I, here am I
When my name is called
Here am I, here am I
I'll answer Here am I

To the Savior's gentle call
With meek and loving hearts reply
For Him freely leaving all
Gladly answer Here am I

Here am I, here am I
When my name is called
Here am I, here am I
I'll answer Here am I

Christ a rich reward will give
To you in His bright home on high
And He'll bless you while you live
If you'll answer Here am I

If you'll answer Here am I

9. Triumph And Praise 3:30
How great is the Messiah's joy
In the salvation of Thy hand!
Lord, Thou hast raised His kingdom high
And giv'n the world to His command

Thy goodness grants whate'er He will
Nor doth the least request withhold
Blessings of love prevent Him still
And crowns of glory, not of gold

David rejoiced in God his strength
Raised to the throne by special grace
But Christ the Son appears at length
Fulfills the triumph and the praise

Honor and majesty divine
Around His sacred temples shine
Blest with the favor of Thy face
And length of everlasting days

Thine hand shall find out all His foes
And as a fiery oven glows
With raging heat and living coals
So shall Thy wrath devour their souls

David rejoiced in God his strength
Raised to the throne by special grace
But Christ the Son appears at length
Fulfills the triumph and the praise

How great is the Messiah's joy
In the salvation of Thy hand!
Lord, Thou hast raised His kingdom high
And giv'n the world to His command

10. If Solomon For Wisdom Prayed 3:57
If Solomon for wisdom prayed
The Lord before had made him wise
Else he another choice had made
And asked for what the worldlings prize

Thus he invites his people still
He first instructs them how to choose
Then bids them ask whate'er they will
Assured that he will not refuse

Our wishes would our ruin prove
Could we our wretched choice obtain
Before we feel the Savior's lore
Kindle our love to him again

But when our hearts perceive his worth
Desires, till then unknown, take place
Our spirits cleave no more to earth
But pant for holiness and grace

And dost Thou say, ask what thou wilt
Lord, I would seize the golden hour
I pray to be released from guilt
And freed from sin and Satan's power

More of thy presence, Lord, impact
More of thine image let me bear
Erect thy throne within my heart
And reign without a rival there

Give me to read my pardon sealed
And from thy joy to draw my strength
To have thy boundless love revealed
In all its height, and breadth, and length

Grant these requests, I ask no more
But to thy care the rest resign
Sick or in health, or rich or poor
All shall be well if thou art mine

All shall be well if thou art mine
All shall be well if thou art mine

11. The Handwriting On The Wall 5:54
At the feast of Belshazzar and a thousand of his lords
While they drank from golden vessels as the book of truth records
In the night, as they reveled
In the royal palace hall
They were seized with consternation
'Twas the Hand upon the wall

'Tis the hand of God on the wall
Shall the record be found wanting
Or shall it be found trusting
While that hand is writing on the wall

See the brave captive, Daniel as he stood before the throng
And rebuked the haughty monarch for his mighty deeds of wrong
As he read out the writing
'Twas the doom of one and all
For the kingdom now was finished
Said the Hand upon the wall

The hand of God on the wall

See the faith, zeal and courage that would dare to do the right
Which the Spirit gave to Daniel 'twas the secret of his might
In his home in Judea
Or a captive in the hall
He understood the writing
Of his God upon the wall

So our deeds are recorded there's a hand that's writing now
Sinner, give your heart to Jesus to his royal mandates bow
For the day is approaching
It must come to one and all
When the sinners' condemnation
Will be written on the wall

'Tis the hand of God on the wall
Shall the record be found wanting
Or shall it be found trusting
While that hand is writing on the wall

The hand of God on the wall
The hand of God on the wall

13. God Of Our Fathers 3:33
God of our fathers, whose almighty hand
Leads forth in beauty all the starry band
Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies
Our grateful songs before thy throne arise

Thy love divine hath led us in the past
In this free land by thee our lot is cast
Be Thou our ruler, guardian, guide and stay
Thy word our law, thy paths our chosen way

God of our fathers thy word is our law
Thy paths our chosen way

From war's alarms, from deadly pestilence
Be thy strong arm our ever sure defense
Thy true religion in our hearts increase
Thy bounteous goodness nourish us in peace

Thy love divine hath led us in the past
In this free land by thee our lot is cast
Be Thou our ruler, guardian, guide and stay
Thy word our law, thy paths our chosen way

God of our fathers thy word is our law
Thy paths our chosen way

Refresh thy people on their toilsome way
Lead us from the night to never ending day
Fill all our lives with love and grace divine
And glory, laud, and praise be ever thine

Thy love divine hath led us in the past
In this free land by thee our lot is cast
Be Thou our ruler, guardian, guide and stay
Thy word our law, thy paths our chosen way

God of our fathers thy word is our law
Thy paths our chosen way

14. Long Did Both Kings And Prophets Wait 4:30
Before Christ

Long did both kings and prophets wait
To see the Lord of glory great
Appear, to answer that great end
To prove the fallen sinner's friend

Before Christ came

Of Him the prophets long foretold
The fathers wished him to behold
Him all the nations did desire
And angels wished Him to admire

Before Christ came
Before Christ came

Their prophecies are now fulfilled
The glorious mystery revealed
The Child is born, the Son is giv'n
The Prince of life is come from Heav'n

His name is Jesus Christ the Lord
The great and everlasting Word
He came to execute the plan
To save the fallen race of man

He is the Lord from Heaven come
Our human nature to assume
Our sins to bear, His blood to shed
And bruise and crush the serpent's head

He left His glorious throne above
And comes with pity, grace, and love
He comes to call the sons of men
And turn them to their God again

We praise Thee, O Thou King of peace!
Who art our life and righteousness
Thou virgin's Son, Thou David's Star
No creature can Thy love declare

All such are truly dead in sin
Who feel themselves not moved within
To join with Christians here on earth
To show and praise the Savior's birth

Let all who dwell with hosts on high!
Engage His praise to magnify
With all the efforts they can raise
Thus join to sing the Savior's praise

15. The Scarlet Road To Redemption 2:55
The new is in the old concealed
The old is in the new revealed
Augustine

Seeing the Gospel before Christ was born
Understanding the Gospel through the Spirit given

The new is in the old concealed
The old is in the new revealed

Seeing the Gospel before Christ was born
Understanding the Gospel after Christ's ascension

Beating in my heart
The thunder of guns
Tore me apart

Some dancers who gave a good time
Broke all the rules, played all the fools

18. Rivers Of Babylon (Boney M. cover) 6:18
By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, then we remembered Zion

By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down
Ye-eah we wept, then we remembered Zion

When the wicked
Carried us away in captivity
Required from us a song
Now how shall we sing the Lord's song in a strange land

When the wicked

19. All You Zombies (The Hooters) 4:54
Holy Moses met the Pharaoh
Yeah, he tried to set him straight
Looked him in the eye
"Let my people go"

Holy Moses on the mountain
High above the golden calf
Went to get the Ten Commandments
He's just gonna break 'em in half

All you zombies hide your faces
All you people in the street
All you sittin' in high places
The pieces gonna fall on you

No one ever spoke to Noah
They all laughed at him instead
Working on his ark
Workin' all by himself
You might also like

Only Noah saw it coming
Forty days and forty nights
Took his sons and daughters with him
Yeah, they were the Israelites

All you zombies hide your faces
All you people in the street
All you sittin' in high places
The rain's gonna fall on you

Holy Father, what's the matter?
Where have all your children gone?
Sittin' in the dark
Livin' all by themselves
You don't have to hide anymore

All you zombies hide your faces
All you people in the street
All you sittin' in high places
The pieces gonna fall on you

All you zombies hide your faces
(I know you're out there!)
All you people in the street
(Let's see you!)
All you sittin' in high places
It's all gonna fall on you
(Zombie!)
