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

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 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!"

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

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

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.
