Lyrics:
There was a holy hush all over
As I walked into the room
And as I
stood to see Him face to face
I was gloriously made new
There was a
great and awesome presence
And a light bright as any day
And as I
bowed to kneel with the angels
I hear the Spirit say (oh, heard it
say)
Chorus:
All rise (all rise), all rise (all rise)
To stand before
the throne
In the presence of the Holy One
All rise (all rise), all
rise (all rise)
As we worship the Messiah
All rise
Then I looked at those all around me
With their hands uplifted
high
And the Spirit laid His hands on me
And I uplifted mine
(alleluia)
And He was singing alleluias
And praises to His name
(praise Your Holy name)
And as I bowed to kneel with the angels
I
heard the Spirit say (heard it say)
Repeat Chorus
Singing holy, holy, holy (holy, holy)
Worthy is the Lamb
(worthy)
Who was, and is, and is to come (who was)
He is the great I
AM (the great I AM)
(Let the church arise and stand, Let the church
arise and stand)
Repeat Chorus (with echoes)
All rise
All rise
Scriptural Reference:
"All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying: 'Amen!

Lyrics:
When He rolls up His sleeves He ain't just puttin' on the ritz
Our
God is an awesome God
There's thunder in His footsteps, lightnin' in
His fists
Our God is an awesome God
And the Lord wasn't jokin' when
He kicked 'em out Eden
It wasn't for no reason that He shed His
blood
His return is very close and so you'd better be believin'
that
Our God is an awesome God
Chorus:
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from Heaven
above
With wisdom, pow'r and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our
God is an awesome God (Our God is awesome)
He reigns from Heaven above
(He reigns from heaven)
With wisdom, pow'r and love (With wisdom,
pow'r)
Our God is an awesome God (He is awesome)
(He is so wonderful. He is a miracle. He is so powerful)
Now when the sky was starless in the dead of the night
Our God is an
awesome God
He spoke into the darkness and created the light
Our God
is an awesome God
The judgment wrath He poured out on Sodom
The
mercy and grace He gave us at the cross
I hope that we have not too
quickly forgotten that
Our God is an awesome God
Repeat Chorus (x2 with stepouts)

Lyrics:
Red is the color of the blood that flows
Down the face of one who
loves us so
He's the perfect man, He's the Lord's own son
He's the
Lamb of God; He's the only one
That can give us life, that can make us
grow
That can make the love between us flow
Blue is the color of a heart so cold
That it will not bend when the
story's told
Of the love of God for a sinful race
Of the blood that
flowed down Jesus' face
That can give us life, that can make us
grow
That can keep our hearts from growing cold
Gold is the color of the morning sun
That shines so freely on
everyone
It's the sun above that keeps us warm
It's the Son of love
who can calm the storm
He can give us life, that can make us
grow
That can turn our mornings into gold (gold, gold)
Brown is the color of the autumn leaves
When the winter comes to the
barren trees
There is birth, there is death, yes there is a plan
And
there's just one God and there's just one Man
That can give us life,
that can make us grow
That can make our sins as white as snow
That can turn our mornings into gold
That can keep our hearts from
growing cold
That can make the love between us flow
Red is the color of the blood that flows

Lyrics:
Down the Vía Dolorosa in Jerusalem that day
The soldiers tried to
clear the narrow streets
But a crowd pressed in to see
A Man
condemned to die on Calvary
He was bleeding from that beating
There were stripes upon His
back
And He wore a crown of thorns upon His head
And He bore with
every step
The scorn of those who cry out for His death
Chorus:
Down the Vía Dolorosa called the way of suffering
Like a
lamb came the Messiah, Christ the King
And He chose to walk that
road
Out of His love for you and me (for you, for me)
Down the Vía
Dolorosa all the way to Calvary (all the way to Calvary)
Por la Vía Dolorosa,
Triste día en Jerusalén
Los saldádos le
abrían paso a Jesús
Mas la gente se acercaba
Para ver al que llevaba
aquella cruz
El sengraba por la espalda cruel castigo recibió
Fue de espinas la
corona que llevó
Y sufrió más al saber
Que su muerte esa gente ibe a
pedir
Por la Vía Dolorosa que es la vía del dolor
Como oveja vino Cristo,
Rey, Señor
Y fue él quien quiso ir
Por su amor por ti y por mí (for
you, for me)
Por la Vía Dolorosa al Calvario y a morir (all the way to
Calvary)
The blood that will cleanse the souls of all men made its way through the heart of Jerusalem (oh, the blood, cleanse the souls, made its way through the heart of Jerusalem)
Repeat Chorus
All the way to Calvary
Scriptural Reference:

Just can't keep on living like we're living
Pushing to the limits,

Lyrics:
I may not be ev'ry mother's dream for her little girl
My face may
not grace the mind of everyone in the world
But that's alright; as long
as I can have one wish, I pray
When people look inside my life, I wanna
hear them say
Chorus:
She's got her father's eyes (father's eyes)
Her father's
eyes (father's eyes)
Eyes that found the good in things
When good
was not around
Eyes that found a source of help
When help could not
be found
Eyes full of compassion (strong compassion)
Seein'
everything
Knowin' what you're goin' thru
And feelin' it the
same
Just like my Father's eyes (she's got the look of Jesus)
My Father's
eyes (she's got the look of Jesus)
My Father's eyes (she's got the
look)
Just like my Father's eyes
On that day when we will pay for all the deeds we have done
Good and
bad they'll all be had to see by everyone
And when you're called to
stand and tell just what you saw in me
More than anything I know, I
want your words to be
Repeat Chorus
Just like my Father's eyes (she's got the look of Jesus)
My Father's
eyes (she's got the look of Jesus)
My Father's eyes (she's got the
look)
Just like my Father's eyes (she's got the look of Jesus)
My
Father's eyes (she's got the look of Jesus)
My Father's eyes (she's got
the look)
Just like my Father's eyes

Lyrics:
Lift Him up (lift Him) higher, lift Him up high
Lift Him up (lift
Him) higher, lift Him up high
Lift Him up (lift Him) higher, lift Him
up high
Lift Him up (lift Him) higher, lift Him up high
The world is looking for a revelation
We're always under their
investigation
They look at us to hear what we've got to say
They
can't see Jesus when we stand in the way, no
They don't need no more elevated speeches
We're keeping Jesus just
beyond their reaches
Can't see the forest for all of the trees
They
won't see Jesus 'til we fall to our knees
Chorus 1:
Lift Him up (higher) higher and higher
Lift Him up
(higher) set the world on fire
It doesn't take much theology
Just
lift Him up so the world can see
Lift Him up (higher) tell the Gospel
story
Lift Him up (higher) they got to see His glory
It doesn't take
some kind of Bible degree
Just lift Him up so the world can see
(Interlude)
Sometimes they just can't see beyond the haze
Or find their way
through the religious maze
Just like Zacchaeus they're trying to
see
They've got to somehow see beyond you and me, oh
Repeat Chorus 1
You know the world has got to know Him
So they can believe
Him
How could we ever try to hide Him
As if we had denied Him
How
can the Lord ever tell them
If I never saw Him
How will they ever
see His glory
Without you and me, yeah
Chorus 2:
Lift Him up (lift Him up higher) higher and higher
Lift
Him up (lift Him up higher) set the world on fire
It doesn't take much
theology
Just lift Him up so the world can see
Lift Him up (lift Him
up higher) tell the Gospel story
Lift Him up (lift Him up higher) they
got to His glory
It doesn't take any Bible degree
Just lift Him up
so the world can see

Lyrics:
We can live because Jesus lives
God sent His Son
They call Him Jesus
He came to love, heal and
forgive
He lived and died to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there
to prove my savior lives (Jesus lives)
Chorus:
Because He lives (my Jesus lives), I can face tomorrow (face
tomorrow)
Because He lives (my Jesus lives), all fear is gone (fear is
gone)
Because I know (one thing I know) He holds the future
And life
is worth the living (life is worth it) just because He lives (Jesus
lives)
How sweet to hold our newborn baby (sweet to hold, so sweet to hold, a
baby boy, a baby girl)
And feel the pride and joy He gives (feel the
pride, pride and joy, the joy He gives, the love He gives)
But greater
still, this calm assurance (greater still, greater still, assurance,
assurance)
This child can face uncertain days because He lives (child
can face uncertain days because Jesus lives)
Repeat Chorus
And then one day, I'll cross the river
I'll fight final, final war,
that war with pain
And then as death gives way to vict'ry
I'll see
the light of glory then I'll know He lives
Repeat Chorus (with stepouts replacing background)
And life is worth the living just because He lives (He lives, He lives,
life is worth it just because)
He lives

Lyrics:
Oh yeah (came on runnin')
Oh (came a-runnin')
Oh (came a-runnin'
to me, came a-runnin')
Almighty God
The great I AM
Immovable Rock
Omnipotent,
powerful, awesome Lord
Victorious Warrior (victorious, victorious,
victorious)
Commanding King of kings
Mighty Conqueror, and the only
time
The only time I ever saw Him run, yeah was
Chorus 1:
When He ran to me (continuous echo: came a-runnin' to me,
came a-runnin' to me)
Took me in His arms, held my head to His
chest
Said, "My son's come home again!"
Lifted my face
Wiped the
tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said, "Son, do you
know I still love you?" (do you know I love you)
It caught me by
surprise when God ran
The day I left home (the day I said goodbye)
I knew I'd broken His
heart
I wondered then if things could ever be the same
But one night
(late one night)
I remembered His love for me
And down that dusty
road ahead I could see
It's the only time, the only time I ever saw Him
run was
Chorus 2:
When He ran to me (continuous echo: came a-runnin' to me,
came a-runnin' to me)
Took me in His arms, held my head to His
chest
Said, "My son's come home again!"
Lifted my face
Wiped the
tears from my eyes (from my eyes)
With forgiveness in His voice He
said, "Son, do you know I still love you?" (do you know I love you)
It
caught me by surprise (by surprise, by surprise)
It brought me to my
knees (to my knees, to my knees)
When God ran
Whoa, I saw Him run to me (came a-runnin' to me, ran to me)
And then
I ran to Him (I ran to meet Him)
Holy One, righteous Judge
He turned my way
Now I know He's been
waiting for this day
Chorus 3:
And then He ran to me (continuous echo: came a-runnin' to
me, came a-runnin' to me)
Took me in His arms, held my head to His
chest
Said, "My son's come home again!"
Lifted me up, wiped the
tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice I felt His love for me
again (with forgiveness)
He ran to me
Took me in His arms, held my
head to His chest
Said, "My son's come home again!"
Lifted my face,
wiped the tears away with forgiveness
He said, "son, do you know I
still love you?" (you know I love you)
Oh, He ran to me (came a-runnin', etc.)
When God ran
Oh, oh
yeah

Lyrics:
Thorns on His head, spear in His side
Yet it was a heartache that
made Him cry
He gave His life so you would understand
Is there any
way you could say no to this Man?
If Christ Himself (standing here)
Were standing here (glory in His
face)
Face full of glory and eyes full of tears (hold out His arms, His
nail-scarred hands)
He'd hold out His arms with His nail-printed hands
(how could you say no)
Is there any way you could say no to this
Man?
Chorus:
How could you look in His tear-stained eyes
Knowing it's
you He's thinking of?
Would you tell Him you're not ready to give Him
your life?
Could you say you don't think you need His love?
Jesus is
here with His arms open wide
You can see Him with your heart if you'll
stop looking with your eyes
He's left it up to you, He's done all He
can
Is there any way you could say no to this Man?
Repeat Chorus (with echoes) (x2)
Thorns on His head, your life is in His hands
Is there any way you
could say no to this Man?
Oh, is there any way you could say no to this Man?

Lyrics:
Spoken: Unlock the power within you, call 1-800. . .
They
advertise it on the television
Because loving yourself is the
greatest love of all. . .
I hear 'em plug it on the
radio
Sure it costs more, but I'M worth it. . .
How did we
come to this?
I really do not know
And in a related story, the
U.S. Supreme Court ruled today that prayer in public schools is, in fact,
unconstitutional. . .
Giving glory to the human race now
Man's
evolving to a higher plane
And, your thoughts, professor?
Well,
looking at where evolution has brought us in the last 10,000 years, I'm
sure we can't even imagine what the future holds
We're gonna see the wrath of God if things don't change
People led
about by blind ambition
Nobody wants to be outdone
And they say "you
gotta look out for number one"
Chorus:
Jesus is still in control of my life
He's my Master and
second to none
One day the LORD will break open the skies
So I guess
you could say
I'm lookin' out
Lookin' out for Number One
Usin' people just to gain position
Whatever happened to the Golden
Rule?
We've become a generation of power-hungry fools
Yeah, people
livin' for their reputation
To make a name that everyone will
know
What'll take to show that life's no one-man show (one -an
show)
If you're thinkin' life is out to get you
And you're thinkin' you
gotta protect yourself
Turn it over to the One who knows you so
well
Repeat Chorus
I'm looking out (looking out)
Yeah, I'm looking out (looking
out)
Whoa, I'm looking out (lookin' out)
For Number One
Repeat Chorus
Lookin' out for Number One
Lookin' out for Number One
I'm lookin'
out
Yeah, I'm lookin' out

Lyrics:
("Stand together, stand together" in background)
Sometimes
it's hard for me to understand
Why we pull away from each other so
easily
Even though we are walking the same walk
Yet we build
dividing walls between our brothers and ourselves
But I, I don't care
what label you may wear
If you believe in Jesus, you belong with
me
Yes you do, "In God we share" is all that I can see
And we'll
change the world forever if you will join with me, join in and sing
Chorus:
You're my brother; you're my sister (stand together, stand
together)
So take me by the hand (stand together, stand
together)
Together we will work until He comes (stand together, stand
together) (stand together, stand together)
There is no foe that can
defeat us (stand together, stand together)
'Cause we're walkin' side by
side (stand together, stand together)
As long as there is love, we will
stand (stand together, stand together) (we will stand, we will stand)
("Stand together, stand together" in background)
The day will
come, yes, when we will be as one
And with a mighty voice together we
will all proclaim to Jesus, "Jesus is King"
And it will echo throughout
the earth
And it will shake the nations
And the world will see, yes
it will see that
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus (with stepouts)
And as long as there is love, we will stand, the Lord said we will stand

Lyrics:
Crowds have lined the narrow street
To see this man from
Galilee
"Just a carpenter," some say, "leading fools astray"
Yet
many kneel to give Him praise
And in His eyes they glimpse the
pow'r
That sees the hearts of all men
And He knows His Father's
mind
He speaks His Father's words
For He comes in the name of the
Lord (there is strength in the name of the Lord)
Chorus:
There is strength in the name of the Lord
There is power
in the name of the Lord
There is hope in the name of the
Lord
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord
When my plans have fallen through (I will call upon the Lord)
And
when my strength is nearly gone (I will trust in You)
With nothing left
to do (depend on You), but just depend on You (powerful)
And the power
of Your name (Your name is powerful)
And when we call upon Your
name
Your strength through weakness to show (we can know)
We can
know the Master's plan, extend the Master's hand
When we come in the
name of the Lord (there is strength in the name of the Lord)
Repeat Chorus (with echoes)
His name will be worshiped forever
Creator, Redeemer and King (we
worship the King of kings)
Repeat Chorus
Blessed is he who comes
Blessed is he who comes
In the name of
the Lord
The name of the Lord!
