Fix Our Eyes
03:45
|
|||
Come, let us fix our eyes on Jesus
The Author and Perfector of our faith;
Who, for the joy set before Him,
Endured the cross, scorning its shame,
And sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
The faithful ones victorious saw things they could not see
Through faith in Christ they triumphed by mercy given free
Certain of a hope that they could never know by sight
They kept a steady pace and ran the race with all His might
Chorus
Tear your eyes away from all the sorrow and the pain
Reject the possibility that you have run in vain
Tear away the tangling sin, kick off the heavy shoe
And run with perseverance the race marked out for you
Chorus
Fill your eyes with Jesus, consider well His case
He came to bring salvation -- had it hurled back in His face
Still He pressed on to attain the goal for which He came
Fix your eyes on Jesus and you can do the same
Chorus

A Fearsome Thing
06:05
|
|||
Lightning sears the night
Thunder makes the children cry
Houses crash into the waves
As winds whip the sea
There's a rip beneath the earth
And far away ten thousand die
All the Earth is groaning
From death to be free
It is a fearsome thing
to fall into
the hands of the Living God (repeat)
Desire strikes a blow to
The praying monk inside his cell
Vanity and weakness gnaw
The mighty emperor on his throne
Purpose and devotion mock
The man inside his cheap hotel
Companionship is taunting
The woman left alone
It is a fearsome thing
to fall into
the hands of the Living God (repeat)
All alike have felt it
Fear of darkness, fear of hell
All the many thorns of fear
From common root have grown
All the fine accomplishments
prove to be an empty shell
All the acts of treason show that
Death is all we own
It is a fearsome thing
to fall into
the hands of the Living God (repeat)
His holy touch
is far too much
it grinds the empty heart
to crumbling sands
So He took that dust
and rebuilt our trust
with a beating heart
and living Human hands.
Shield our eyes, they said
Show us no more of Your power unveiled
But He veiled Himself instead
Took up our flesh and blood
and in weakness prevailed.
It was a fearsome thing
When He fell into
the hands of the Living God
It was a fearsome thing
When He fell into
the hands of the Living God
His holy touch
is far too much
it grinds the empty heart
to crumbling sands
So He took that dust
and rebuilt our trust
with a beating heart
and living Human hands.

Hark the Voice
04:07
|
|||
Hark, the voice of Jesus calling, 'Who will go and work today?
Fields are white and harvests waiting, Who will bear the sheaves away?"
Lous and long the master calls you; Rich reward he offers free.
Who will answer, gladly saying, "Here am I. Send me, send me?"
If you cannot speak like angels, If you cannot preach like Paul,
You can tell the love of Jesus; You can say he died for all.
If you cannot rouse the wicked With the judgment's dread alarms,
You can lead the little children To the Savior's waiting arms.
If you cannot be a watchman, Standing high on Zion's wall,
Pointing out the path to heaven, Off'ring life and peace to all,
With your prayers and with your bounties You can do what God demands;
You can be like faithful Aaron, Holding up the prophet's hands.
If Isaiah's fear assails you, If unclean and ruined you feel
Do not flee from God Almighty, He is strong to save and heal.
With His offering from the altar, He has burned your guilt away
Though your strength be ever failing, He is faithful every day.
Let none hear you idly saying, "There is nothing I can do,"
While the multitudes are dying And the master calls for you.
Take the task he gives you gladly; Let his work your pleasure be.
Answer quickly when he calls you, "Here am I. Send me, send me!"

10 Commandments
04:30
|
|||
De first one is de biggest
She make you stand or fall
Serve the Lord alone, don’t have yourself
No other gods at all
Number two is good for you
Don't toss His Name around
If you use it well
dis much is true
You stand on solid ground
Number three will set you free
To keep the Sabbath Day
By the Word and the Sacrament
You will follow in His way
O de 10 Commandments
I can't do dem at all
But de Holy Spirit say:
"Hey, Mon, I help you."
Dis is our holy call.
Now 1, 2 & 3 are vertical
As you can plainly see
But the rest are horizontal
Day got to do wit you and me
Honoring Mom and Dad
And all of dem above us
May be hard to do
But it make you glad
And you don't make dem so nervous
Oh, de 10 commandmants…
Number Five, she say, "Do not Kill"
Don't harm but help you neighbor
Hey, listen up, don't be an imbecile
And oh the blessings you will savor
Number Six, she say very plain
Don't be just like the parrot
Don't say and do what de world tell you to
Hey, Mon
Save it for marriage!
Oh de 10 commandmants…
Number 7 say "Don't take does tings"
And don't cheat nobody neither
But do what you can to help de man
Keep all his stuff together
Commandmant 8 is about de lie
And de slander and de gossip
Like if dat ain't no pure water
flowin from de spring
Hey Mon
Shut off de faucet!
Number 9 & 10
Day kinda be alike
You ought to have just pure desires
Like if your yearning
for what your neighbor got
You be tangled in de barbed wires
Of sin, don't you know
Oh de 10 commandmants…

One Flesh
05:02
|
|||
She said, I love you too, sweetheart,
But the love she's made is only a part
Her mind keeps slippin’ back to an earlier time
To the love she gave away back in her prime
And no matter how she tries she cannot un-heart
The ones who came before will not depart
Well he loves his wife and her little boy
As he loves his own so far away
As devoted to her as his heart will allow
Still he looks forward to that day
When his passion for her will match somehow
The depth of all the love he has thrown away
They were one flesh
They made one heart from two
They made one flesh
But the love they built was supposed to be New
Nevertheless they made one flesh
Back in the garden
when He gave the woman to the lonely man
It was part of a larger perfect plan
To help and to comfort to be his friend
Their intimacy was a means to an end
They would be made known even as they knew
Their hearts bound up with a holy glue
They were one flesh
They made one heart from two
They were one flesh
And the love they built together was New
They were one flesh
Help us, Lord
We have used Your gift as though it were our toy
Heal, O Lord
What we've labored so hard to destroy.
So many have wasted that bonding power
For the sake of a passing indulgent hour
But in Christ there is no judgement due
His grace is making all things new
So all who would seek to renew their love
May take of the bonding from above.
And they will be one flesh
He will make one heart from two
They will be one flesh
And the love they build will always be New
They'll be one flesh
They will be one flesh

As Often As
03:05
|
|||
I see the bread
I see the wine
These simple gifts
Sublime
Your promises
To me
Are full
Refrain:
As often as we eat this bread
As often as we drink this cup
We proclaim the death of the Lord
Until He comes again.
I am bruised
I am poor
Your Spirit longs for more
So through this meal
You heal
And restore
Refrain
So in this meal
Served by our Lord
Who, crucified,
now lives
We all proclaim
That He
Forgives
Refrain

You Come Down
05:44
|
|||
I’ve heard it said
That You are far away
Up in Heaven
Sitting on a chair
And I’ve heard it said
That getting near to You
Means lifting my thoughts
Way up there
But You say
Take and eat
This is my body
This is Me
And you say
This cup is the very blood I shed
To set you free
Always my heart leads me to reach up to You
And always the mark is too high
So in this simple meal You make a rendezvous
And our lowly flesh dignify
You come down
You come down
You come down
And our lowly flesh dignify
I’ve heard it said
That we can please Your Father
By giving You up
Again
And I’ve heard it said
Presenting Him Your body
Will earn us His
Amen
But You say
Enough is Enough
The offering was finished
Long before
And You say
This gift is for me
A pardon from death
Evermore
Always my heart leads me to reach up to You
And always the mark is too high
So in this simple meal You make a rendezvous
And our lowly flesh dignify
You come down
You come down
You come down
And our lowly flesh dignify
Empty-handed
I come to Your table
Foolishly considering
There might be some other way
But this place was set
For those who are not able
Who don’t have it coming
Who cannot pay
(Interlude)
You come down
You come down
You come down
And our lowly flesh dignify
Always my heart leads me to reach up to You
And always the mark is too high
So in this simple meal You make a rendezvous
And our lowly flesh dignify
And our lowly flesh dignify

Every Day the Same
04:43
|
|||
You are not the Light
but you've seen it.
The Light that comes down from above.
You have not arrived
but you've moving
Carried along by His love.
Rejoice all the time in Christ Jesus
Pray every moment in His Name
Give thanks no matter what's goin on
This is His will for you every day the same
This is His will for you every day the same
The road ahead is a rocky one
There's some trouble yet to come
Digging down deep inside
will leave you weak and numb
Apart from Him there's not a thing
that you can ever do
So He gives His power to you.
Rejoice all the time in Christ Jesus
Pray every moment in His Name
Give thanks for all He's done
no matter what's goin on
This is His will for you every day the same
This is His will for you every day the same
Jesus is the Light
and you know Him
The Light has come down from above
He will soon arrive
to take us with Him
Carried aloft by His love.
Rejoice all the time in Christ Jesus
Pray every moment in His Name
Give thanks no matter what's goin on
This is His will for you every day the same
This is His will for you every day the same
The secret to happiness
is a mystery revealed
Its not in trying harder
Its in simply being healed
Jesus is the Healer
And if you are in His care
You need not ever despair
Rejoice all the time in Christ Jesus
Pray every moment in His Name
And give thanks for all He's done
no matter what's goin on
This is His will for you every day the same
This is His will for you every day the same
This is His will for you everyday the same.
