Gave it all for you and me

And so I sing (sing, sing) to God above

And so I sing (sing, sing) to God above
Giver of an

I feel so ashamed, but You
hold on tight (you hold on tight)
And there's no doubt that those who
are here
Feel the same and it's very clear
Repeat Chorus
We're in this place, just the boys and me
Singing aloud for all to

That God, the giver of life
Considered us worth the fight

Jesus, guide me along the way

Lyrics:
(Telephone rings and there is a conversation about "Lisa" being on the album)
Well, I've been down
I've been so sad and lonely
Well, I've been
down
I've been so sad and lonely
Well, but I've got a friend in
Jesus
And He's my one and only
Chorus:
Well, I've been down (I've been down)
I've been so sad
and lonely (I've been sad and lonely)
Well, but I've got a friend in
Jesus
And He's my one and only (He's my one and only)
Repeat Chorus
I was walkin' in darkness with fear all around
I was lookin' for
someone, but no one could be found
Repeat Chorus
I talked to everybody lookin' for some peace
Nothin' made me happy,
it all just brought me grief
Repeat Chorus
So I cried out to heaven with my face to the floor
Just wanted some
answers, but He gave me so much more
Repeat Chorus
Spoken Vocal:
Alright James, play the blues...
(instrupella interlude)
When you're down (when you're down)
When you're sad and when you're
lonely (when you're sad and lonely)
When you're down (when you're
down)
When you're sad and when you're lonely (when you're sad and
lonely)
Well, but you've got a friend in Jesus
And He's your one and
only (He's my one and only)
Scriptural Reference:
"Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, 'Son of David, have mercy on me!' Jesus stopped and said, 'Call him.' So they called to the blind man, 'Cheer up! On your feet! He's calling you.' Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus." Mark 10:48-50
Words and music: Brian Fuller
Lead: Rick Castleman, Brian Fuller
(step-out and rap), and Matthew Schmitz (bridge)
Lyrics:
You, You came along
Wrapped Your arms around me made me
strong
You are my Joygiver (giver, giver)
You give me strength, You
urge me on
Forget about the outside, inside I'm strong
You are my
Joygiver (giver, giver)
Chorus:
Jesus (Jesus, oh Jesus), God of all creation
My Savior
(Savior, my Savior), true Lover of my soul
Master (Master, my Master),
all my life belongs to You
Bring (bring) us together, make us whole
How, how can it be
That someone so great should rescue me?
You
are my lifegiver (giver, giver)
Immoral thoughts, deceiving lies
I
would be dead if you hadn't died
You are my lifegiver (giver, giver)
Repeat Chorus
Since we have the joy from the One up above
Why don't we share it
with the ones that we love?
We give it to a brother, who gives it to
another
Before very long, we all love each other
We gotta take care
of the ones while we're here
So when Jesus comes back, He'll take us in
the air
To be with Him, to be His forevermore
What a Joygiver, hope
to see you on that shore
You know my God sent His son down
He came to earth for you and
me
Everybody come together
And praise the Lord in Harmony
Repeat Chorus
Bring (bring) us together, make us whole
Bring (bring) us together,
make us whole

Lyrics:
Lord, I desire to be what You want me to be
To go where You want me
to go, and in Your power believe
I offer unto You this prayer of
deepest praise
Because I need to talk to You, these things to You I
raise
I'll bring You all my fears, for my enemies I'll pray
All my worries
I'll bring to You to handle in Your own ways
For all the things You've
given me, to You I give my thanks
Someday I will be with You, because
of Your grace (of Your grace)
Chorus:
And I come before the Lord
With a humble heart I will
kneel in prayer
I need Your spirit to guide me
And Your strength to
carry on
I come before the Lord
Our Father who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name
Your kingdom
come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Give us today our
daily bread, and forgive us all our debts
Lead us not to temptation,
but deliver us from death
Repeat Chorus
I come before the Lord
Amen

life
Chorus:
The Lord has given me another chance
And now I'm tellin'
you what it is
You must be seein' it on my face
That I've got a new
life
Yes you've guessed it, you must have guessed it, can you tell I've got a new life? (x8 with stepout words)

Lyrics:
It's almost six o'clock, and the station is deserted
Where have all
the people gone, I wonder to myself?
After all, the train is leaving
very soon
But all the passengers are lingering outside
What are they
waiting for? No one is prepared
Yet the conductor is calling, "All
aboard"
Get right church, Get right church and let's go home
Get right
church
Get right church
Get right church and let's go home
I'm goin' home on that morning train (leaving on that train)
I'm
goin' home on that train
I'm goin' home on that train (morning train)
Evening train, evening train might be too late
Evening
train
Evening train
Evening train might be too late
Back, back train- Back, back train and get your load
Back, back
train
Back, back train
Back, back train and get your load
(instrupella interlude)

Lyrics:
When I'm doing daytime things
I want to smile I want to sing
I
know that You'll take care of me
Until it's time to go to sleep
Chorus:
Look at my life, and tell me who I'll be
Look at my life,
will you see Christ in me?
I'll live for You each and every
day
Because You died and then You rose
My debt of sin is paid

Lyrics:
Chorus:
Why, my God, did You die for me?
Why You chose death to
cover my sins
I can't see
When my soul is black with sin
You look with love upon my
face
You do not turn away from me
But cast my sins on Jesus in my
place
Repeat Chorus
Your love I cannot understand
But I know that it's real
Because
Your son sacrificed Himself
So I could one day in Your presence kneel
Spoken Vocal:
Have mercy on me, O God according to Your unfailing
love
According to Your great compassion blot out my
transgressions
Wash away all my aniquity and cleanse me of my
sin
For I know my transgressions and my sin is always before
me
Against You, You only have I sinned and done what is evil in Your
sight
So that You are proved right when You speak and justified when
You judge
Surely I have been a sinner from birth, sinful from the time
my mother conceived me
Why (why), why (why)
Why, my God, did You die for me?
Why (why),
why (why)
Why You chose death to cover me
I will never see
Why,
why Jesus
Why did He die for me?
Why, why, why did You die for
me
I can't see, but I need Your love for me

Lyrics:
In a time in my life, when all love had died
Alone in my room I
broke down and cried
I'd tried all the things that this world could
give
It all had left me--how could I live?
When I met a man who showed compassion to me
Why he cared, well, I
couldn't see
And I did not know why, but I tell you today
My life
was changed when I heard him say
Chorus:
Oh Lord, I know wherever I go
You will always be there
for me
And when I am down, You pick me up
You're always able to fill
my cup
Oh Lord (oh Lord, oh Lord)
Oh Lord (oh Lord, oh Lord)
So I asked him if I could feel that way too
How can I know for sure
the way that you do?
He said, "Well, dear son, if you'll just reach out
your hand
God will take it and lead you through this land"
Repeat Chorus
I've found a love that I can't explain
That shines like sun through
the pouring rain
It gave me a life, and a will to survive
It showed
me how to be alive
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Chorus (with stepouts)
Scriptural Reference:
"He told them, 'This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things.'" Luke 24:46-48

Set me on fire, Lord
On fire,
Lord, for you
Set me on fire, Lord
Set me on fire, Lord
On fire,

I've got to
take a stand, gotta stand and be a man
I've got the Spirit in me, gonna
let everybody see (see, see)
Chorus 2:
Set me on fire, Lord
(Give me the fire to do Your will
Lord)
Set me on fire, Lord
(Let me know You're here with me
still)
Set me on fire, Lord
(Let me spread it to everyone)
Set me
on fire, Lord
('Cause You're the only one)
Gonna live just like I believe, in a love I can't conceive
I've got
the spirit of might, so now I'll step into the fight
Won't you come
along with me, we'll press on because we're free (free, free)
Repeat Chorus 2
Everyday I'm in a fight between the darkness and the light
There's
no reason to be afraid, there's power in the price He paid (paid, paid,
