Words and music:
Lead: Nathan George
Lyrics:
I don't need you standing by to tell me what I got to do
We don't
need anymore road signs, cause the bible's as good as new
We need you
just to jump in and get your dirty hands a'workin'
For God's the Man,
He's got the plan
So Shut yo mouth and work
Chorus:
Don't need no road signs
'Cause the Bible's here to
stay
Don't need no road signs
Just workin' everyday
Don't need no
road signs
'Cause Jesus is the way
We gotta work to prove His plan
is the only way to stay
Well if you need to see a sign just travel down the road
'Cause in
the church we got a God and He's already foretold
The way to life and
happiness you won't find down the road
'Cause God's the man, He wrote
the plan
So Shut yo mouth and work
Repeat Chorus
(Interlude)
1...2...3...
Repeat Chorus
Scriptural Reference:
"'You know the way to the place where I am going.' Thomas said to him, 'Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?' Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" John 14:4-6

Lyrics:
Chorus:
I press on toward the goal
To win the prize for which
God's called
Heavenward to Christ Jesus
I'm pressing on (pressing
on)
I press on toward the goal
To win the prize for which God's
called
Heavenward to Christ Jesus
I'm pressing on
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
I once was lost but now I'm
found
Once was blind but now I see
I'm pressing on (pressing
on)
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the
sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
I'm pressing on
Repeat Chorus and Verse together
Scriptural Reference:
"I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:14
Words and music:
Lead: Nathan George
Lyrics:
I lie awake at night, thinkin' about what I've done
I try to make it
all right, but You're the only one
That can change me inside and
cleanse my soul again
Without You I am lost forever
What a wretched
man I am
Chorus:
It's not me when I say the things I say
It's not me when
I do the things I do
It's not me when I push you away
It's not me,
because Lord it's not You
My mind is split in two, I don't know who I am
I want to live in
you, but my flesh gets out of hand
When I try to do my best the devil
stumbles me
Sometimes I can't seem to figure out
Who I need to
be
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
If you need (if you need) to be renewed (to be
renewed)
Then look to God (look to God)
And He will save you (He
will save you)
Put Him first (put Him first) in all you do (in all you
do)
And He will never forsake you
Repeat Bridge
If you need to be renewed

Lyrics:
O Lord, you know that, I was lost until You came
Into my life and
then you said, "Come and let Me heal your pain"
It was hard to describe
the relief I felt that day
I didn't know just what to do, so I got on
my knees to pray
Chorus:
And I said thank You for giving me a reason to live
I
will see those golden gates someday, 'cause my sins You chose to
forgive
Even when I was blind You were on my mind and it took some time
to see
That You came to earth to give Your love to me (to me)
The days were hard
And the night were oh, so long
I wanted to get
through with life
I felt I couldn't carry on
Then I felt Your
presence
I felt You by my side
I knew I did not have to
fear
'Cause in You I can abide
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Even when I was blind You were on my mind and it took some time to
see
That You came to earth to give Your love to me (to me)

Lead: Nathan George
Lyrics:
As he sat there in that prison cell, he knew just how it came
about
And he knew his life was over and he was never comin' out
But
there was just one thing he had to know, he had to make a final
plea
And so he sent his friends to ask the Lord if he was who He
claimed to be
Chorus:
"Go tell John (go tell John)
That the lame have learned
to walk
That the poor can hear the word of God and the deaf can hear me
talk
Go tell John (go tell John)
That the blind can finally see, oh
and
Blessed is the man who doesn't fall away because of me"
Well He was born so he could tell the world that the Kingdom was at
hand
And that the Christ would soon come after Him to complete the
Father's plan
And there was nothing else he wanted more than to see
this Kingdom grow
It was the only thing that mattered, it was all he
had to know
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
"Go tell John (go tell John)
That the dead are raised
again
Go tell John (go tell John)
That the lepers now are
cleansed
Go tell John (go tell John)
That the path he chose was
right
Go tell John (go tell John)
Go and tell him that I truly am
the light"
Repeat Chorus
"Blessed is the man who doesn't fall away because of me"
Scriptural Reference:
"When John heard in prison what Christ was doing, he sent his disciples to ask Him, 'Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else?' Jesus replied, 'Go back and report to John what you hear and see: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me.'" Matthew 11:2-6

Lyrics:
Lately I've been thinking as I look all around me
I see by the signs
that we're soon going to be leaving
The bridegroom is coming to take us
all away
It may be tomorrow, but I pray that it's today
Chorus:
And we will fly (fly) away in the twinkling of an
eye
Leaving all our heartaches and telling them all goodbye
Yes we
will fly (fly) away when he hears His Father say
"Jesus, go and get
your bride, today's your wedding day"
Now when we see the bridegroom in the clouds in the sky
Will he be
telling you hello or telling you goodbye?
Oh, be sure and be ready to
meet Him face to face
We've got to fight the good fight, we've got to
keep our faith
Repeat Chorus (x2)

From the darkest night to the brightest

We ask that you would light the way
Oh, Lord be with us
still
Lord be with us still
Lord we know that we make mistakes
And
sometimes we feel, they can not be erased
Oh, but Lord be with us
still
Lord be with us still
Though we fall and we cannot see
We still
have faith and we believe
That You are with us still
Repeat Verse 1
Lord be with us still (Lord forgive us)
Lord be with us
still
Lord be with us still

Lyrics:
(Talking prelude)
If I was a tree I'd be dead as I could be to the world
I couldn't teach, I couldn't preach, I couldn't even speak
In fact I
could do nothin' at all
I'd be subjected to the wind and pounded by the rain
I'd be moved at
their call
Simply goin through the motions without havin' no emotions
I'd be a
stiff tree and that's all
Spoken Vocal:
Well it's good you see cause I'm not a tree
I'm as
human as I could possibly be
I can worship the Lord whenever I
want
I can do it at church or in my boxer shorts
I can go to the
mall, praise Him in the hall
Do it where I want and that's all
Scriptural Reference:
"Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks." John 4:23
