Thousand Years (McDonald, Smith, Mark)
(spoken) Matthew 10:16
We will travel near and far
As mild as dovres, as wise as serpents
Apostles of the word we are
We follow light of yonder star
Into danger we are going
Dust and heat, we walk on fire
Doing deeds and seeds we've sown
We open eyes from the lies
Can you see the stars of Heaven?
Can you feel the power surging?
Shining brightly steel and metal
Thousand year-reign of the Lord
Earthly ways are not our kingdom
We take orders from Another
Speaking truth and bringing freedom
Hear the call of our Father
On we go into battle
Fearless now, we counter devils
Lives are lived for Him that made
And He never will forsake
Second coming is proceeding
Justice and a great awakening
Evil cast down into fire
Chains of truth, Jesus has won!
Can you see the stars of Heaven?
Can you feel the power surging?
The Veil
(McDonald, Sullivan, McNair)
Matthew 27:51
The lightning split the sky, the people cowered in fear
They knew what they had done to the Son
An earthquake, thunder, I feel the wrath of God
Power unimagined, people running in alarm
And the Veil was torn in two
The Covenant from old to new
With the Son
A feeling of dread grew, reality set in
A doom lay upon them, if only they’d believed in Him
And it was finished in that hour
And the soldier felt the power of the Son
A soldier’s eyes were raised, and comprehension dawned
He knew what they had done to the Son
An earthquake, thunder, I feel the wrath of God
Power unimagined, people running in alarm
And the Veil was torn in two
The Testament from old to new
With the Son
In Your Arms
(McDonald)
Psalm 91:4
As I ran through forests green, I heard faint laughter in the air
Moving stealthy, gotta see Just what fate has in store for me
Up ahead the doorway lies, But it will accept no key
Is it illusion? Or a dream? I don’t know what is to believe
A cold wind blows auburn hair, I see a flash of emerald eyes
A shadow falls upon my soul, Darkened as the leaden sky
In Your arms tonight I’ll lie
Our love will conquer all our enemies
In Your arms tonight I’ll die
For memories and what they mean to me
When I was running with the pack, I did not care if none loved me
I delighted in the hunt, A demon raged inside of me
But now a fire of a different kind Is burning hotly in my soul
Worlds collide, my head divides, Emotions ruling o’er the mind
In Your arms tonight I’ll fly
Our spirits stronger than eternity
In Your arms tonight I’ll die
This unrequited love is killing me
I eat my heart out every night, Wond’ring how Heaven will feel
Can only guess in fantasies, But how I long to make them real
Passion smolders in my eyes, As it stands there before me
I can scarcely keep control, Excitement courses throughout me
In Your arms tonight I’ll cry
For anyone who’ll never feel this way
In Your arms tonight I’ll die
And all my pain will slowly melt away
Slow Burn
(Smith, McDonald)
Mark 9:44
We’ve no idea of the stakes we are gambling
We don’t reveal all the secrets of our heart
This game’s for keeps and we’re playing with fire
We got to know that the end is forever
Yes, it’s a slow burn, it lasts forever
Unless we cry out and call upon the Savior
The hottest fire, and we cannot quench it
The blackest night and we cannot light it
Inside a place where the burning has no ending
What a price to pay if we aren’t truly willing!
This ain’t no joke, don’t you take it for granted
It’s curtain call, and our story is ended
Yes, it’s a slow burn, it lasts forever
Unless we cry out and call upon the Savior
The hottest fire, and we cannot quench it
The blackest night and we cannot light it
Down, down, down we go, far below
Without repentance
Love Child
(McDonald, Rizzuto)
Matthew 5:16
Walking down the road of sorrow
I am motherless, lost, and alone
See the tears falling from my eyes so hollow
There is nothing that will ever change
If I could fly my heart would escape,
And I would blow you away!
And you will see another Me arise
And I will let the love child in me shine
There’s a strength I’ve found deep down
In the bottom of my stormy sea
There’s an iron, and a steel of purpose
There’s no way I’ll let you get to me
If I could fly my heart would escape,
And I would blow you away!
And you will see another Me arise
And I will let the love child in me shine
Now my loving heart it shines
Now I’ve finally found my peace of mind
Now the flame is burning hot
Won’t be something that I know I’m not
If I could fly my heart would escape,
And I would blow you away!
And you will see another Me arise
And I will let the love child in me shine
Another Life
(McDonald, Roberson)
Colossians 3:2-3
I feel it burning inside of me,
A truth that won’t go away
I try and douse the flames of emotion
But my efforts are in vain
I see myself, but I see someone else
I know my soul will never rest
It’s slowly taking the measure of me
Oh God, will I ever be free?
I try to make the best of what I have,
Try to be the best I can be
Trapped inside these prison walls,
My voice is raised in song and sorrow
In Another Life I’ll be complete
Reborn as the one that I was meant to be
In Another Life I’ll find the key
To happiness and realize my dreams
Wild colors and rotating lights
Escort me to thrilling heights
As darkness falls, I close my eyes,
And walk in surreal landscapes
It’s the place that I love to be
How wonderful to live and breathe!
I feel sensations new and strange,
Kisses soft as down I’m seeking.
I try to make the best of what I have,
Try to be the best I can be
Trapped inside these prison walls,
My voice is raised in song and sorrow
In Another Life I’ll be complete
Reborn as the one that I was meant to be
In Another Life I’ll find the key
To happiness and realize my dreams
In Another Life…
The Price
(McDonald)
Mark 8:36
I remember saying my next life would be better
But here I am still dealing with today
No matter how I run, I can’t escape each waking day
The truth is something I don’t wanna hear
I can try to hide behind it, put on a face as tough as steel
But a private moment reveals the diff’rent tune that plays inside
What plays inside?
The Price is simply too high for getting inside,
You want my soul on the dotted line
But I have my pride, I tell you no lies,
I won’t give up my heart and mind
I try to act so tough, when deep inside I know well enough
That sanity walks on a razor’s edge
My features soften now, I think back and remember how
I found myself, a million miles away
I can try to hide behind it, put on a face as cold as steel
But a private moment reveals the diff’rent tune that plays inside
What plays inside?
The Price is simply too high for getting inside,
You want my soul on the dotted line
But I have my pride, I tell you no lies,
I won’t give up my heart and mind
In my mind I keep myself well-protected
It’s easier to lie to yourself
‘Cause you wanna believe it’s true,
But reality crashes through your mind,
And what have you got, when you’re left with broken dreams?
Awake In The Night
(Smith, McDonald)
It’s 2am, and I can’t sleep.
I pray the Lord my soul to keep…
The house is cold and dark tonight
I’m stuck here on my own again
We awake in the night, upon us a Holy Light
A light for all of us to see
Just what we might wish to be
It’s 3am, I lie awake.
I pray the Lord my soul to take…
To keep me in isolation is their goal
To keep me from reaching for a helping hand
We awake in the night, upon us a Holy Light
A light for all of us to see
Just what we might wish to be
Free of ungodliness, Heaven sent a Fire
A fire inside that will never end!
It’s 4am, I lie awake.
I pray the Lord my soul to take…
Exit my spirit’s wrath, begone tonight
No more darkness just Holy Light
We awake in the night, upon us a Holy Light
A light for all of us to see
Just what we might wish to be
Free of ungodliness, Heaven sent a Fire
A fire inside that will never end!
Second Skin
(McDonald)
Deuteronomy 14:26
And this is much better than I’ve dared to dream
Never expected it, so bittersweet…
Lookin’ for experience, loss of innocence
Yesterday’s fondest wish comes true, a new reality
Reflection of a second skin, new and glistening
Nevermore to see again the skin that I have shed
And this is much better than I’ve dared to dream
Never expected it, so bittersweet…
Feelin’ life’s sweet rewards, pleasure leaves me floored
I’ll drink the wine, it shall be mine,
I’ll toast a new reality
Sensation new and strange to me, hypersensitivity
Not what I used to be, takin’ over me
And this is much better than I’ve dared to dream
Never expected it, so bittersweet
Keepin’ my heart upon that narrow road
Living the fantasy of my design
Playing the role, I love my second skin
Lookin’ for experience, loss of innocence
Yesterday’s fondest wish comes true, a new reality
Reflection of a second skin, new and glistening
Nevermore to see again the skin that I have shed
And this is much better than I’ve dared to dream
Never expected it, so bittersweet
Keepin’ my heart upon that narrow road
Living the fantasy of my design
Playing the role, I love my second skin
Heirs To The Throne
(Smith)
Romans 8:17
I am alive, I am free
I am far from oppression and I will not be deceived
I am born, and I am redeemed
I have the peace that outshines all understanding
The heart can be so deceitful, above all things
Its desperately wicked, and the pain that it brings
The Holy Spirit is greater than the enemy of Earth
It lives in me and has known me since my birth
I have the mind to crush enemies of my soul
A New Creation, Divine Right, Behold!
I was reckless, I disbelieved
I scattered the riches You gave me and now I grieve
I am renewed, I am merciful
I have the choice of life according to Your Will
I have found, that, peace, and joy, in life, is here
Death has, lost its sting, I have, no doubt or fear
Celebrate, the returned, the one, who, was lost
When you return, you’ll find, the light is on
I give warning, I give today
My heart aches for you, when you are far away
Return to me and I will return to you
You can lose your way and return, renewed
The heart can be so deceitful, above all things
Its desperately wicked, and the pain that it brings
The Holy Spirit is greater than the enemy of Earth
It lives in me and has known me since my birth
I have the mind to crush enemies of my soul
A New Creation, Divine Right, Behold!
The journey you might endure could lead you astray
He who has an ear, let him hear the Spirit say
Beware the prince of the power of the air, and its geist
We are the heirs, to the throne, of God, in Christ!
