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!
