Hold That Line

The wolf comes out though we should expect him

To plunder the sons of righteousness

We are the men of God who will resist him

We follow he who is called the ‘son of man’

 Pre chorus

Brothers take up arms, fight evil, be strong

Take the shield of faith, the sword of the Spirit from above

 Chorus

Hold that line, brothers one in body one in mind

Hold that line, vision straight ahead

Hold that line, seize the cause of God’s Messiah

Hold that line and follow Jesus…no compromise

 One by one some fall down to temptation

The glory of the world far too strong

Forsaken God’s commands, lost salvation

Chasing golden calves for far too long  

Pre –Chorus

 Take up your cross, follow Jesus

Though the future shows suffering and weakness

 Bridge

Hold that Line and remember your first love

Hold that line, lead the way and don’t give up

 

Chorus

Key To Life

What are you here for, What are you doing with your life

2.3 kids a paradise home and your second wife

It’ll be 50 year of grinding millstones, Before you come alive

And on that day you’ll be lying in bed fighting for your life

For your life

 

What are you here for, What are you doing with your life

Sweat on the brow, money in the bank to feed another man’s paradise

Too many years building fantasies, Of what will be and what you’ll see

But when you open your eyes in the afterlife

Where your heart is brother, is where you’ll spend your time.

 

Chorus

If you can’t take it with you

You’ve overcapitalised

The world may be in your pocket but you forgot your key to life

Key to life

 

What are you here for, What are you doing with your life

You built a house of cards, the diamond stole your heart, you’re heading for a landslide

Infinite years for temporary pleasure, now you face the ultimate dilemma,

A lifetime spent to feed your ‘here and now’, left you nothing brother, you leave it all behind

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He will save us

Oh lift me up Lord hold my face

Remind me of your saving grace

Draw me to your revealing word

Give me hope in a drowning world

 

Make a straight path for me

Built on your humility

Give me strength

To weather the storm today

 

Alleluia to our king

Alleluia he will save us

Alleluia to our king

Alleluia he will save us  

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I Gave You My Son

He offers you jewels and shiny things

the more you want the more he brings

fame and fortune, just the usual clichés

he shrouds you with meaning 

in such meaningless ways

He sells you a future with a fabulous hole

then holds you to ransom by demanding your soul

you're a toy that he winds up, until the spinning stop

he's the king of deception folks

and you'll never get enough

Chorus

But I, I offer you freedom

I, I offer you love

I, I give you something that's real,

I, I give you my son

 

One chance to live one life to lead

One God who loves, one God who bleeds

One cross to bear for the sin of the world

One chance to right that wrong, one chance to return

Chorus

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just The Gospel

 We’ve tried to climb our way to God

Through philosophies,

 But we’re just shooting arrows at the stars

And throwing pebbles in the sea.

There’s a timelessness that belongs to God

which human hands can’t touch,

We reach so far to know him

But we just stumble in the dark.

 

Bridge…

So in his mercy, he came down to us

He burst through our heavens in the person of his son

And the hopelessness that left us all gazing into space

Was bridged by Jesus on the cross

The sacrifice of grace

 Chorus

It’s just the gospel

There’s nothing more than this,

Just the gospel

That he called us to be his

That he sent his son to save us

A ransom for our sins

That God of heaven came down to us

Not we to him.

   

 A perfect God lives in perfect holiness

 Finding all our efforts hardly good enough

 Setting down a judgment day to bring us to account

 For not allowing Him to be the Lord of our lives

 

But in his mercy some of us escape

And God takes vengeance on his God and son to save the day

God to God, a cross of shame, to take away all our blame,

So that those who follow Jesus can walk free by grace

 Chorus…

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I Hope in You

When my world is crumblin’ down

When my dreams seem to have failed

When my ship has run aground

And there’s no wind to raise my sails

When the ocean overwhelms

And fear destroys my faith

When I’m left to search through night

Alone in all my pain

Chorus

I hope in You

And only you

I hope in You

And only you

My Lord, my righteousness.

 

Like broken glass to flesh

On jagged rocks I tear

And my constant crying out at night

Reveals a boy and not a man

But as long as blood runs through my veins

My weakness is my strength

And I glorify my Lord of Lords

With my failures and my shame

 

Chorus

I hope in You

And only you

I hope in You

And only you

My Lord, my righteousness.

 

And I close my eyes

And I clench my hands in prayer

I recall your promises to save

To restore my broken ways

 Chorus

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rescue Me

How long oh Lord will I walk this dirty road this dirty road

Humbled by my sin such a heavy load a heavy load

I want to obey, I want to be free, to worship with heart and soul

But I’m in too deep and the world has it’s hands on me

My Lord my Lord.

Chorus

Rescue me oh rescue me, from this hole my Lord

Rescue me oh Rescue me take control my Lord

Rest in me oh rest in me take me home my Lord

To a place where I can rest on holy ground my lord my lord

 

You pour your grace on me like rain but thirsty land steals it away

I hunger for your word but it falls like crumbs that are blown away

You convict by your spirit, you sharpen by your word

And your promise of salvation holds me straight when I want to turn oh Lord

 

Chorus

Bridge

Salvation comes from you

Your mercy makes us new

Your children cry to you

‘cause you alone can save us, Oh Lord save us.  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It is finished

 The battle of all battles,

lies in Gethsemene

Where the son of God, prepares to meet

Head on his enemies

A thousand legions of angels ready at the wait

The power of almighty God

He lays it down so justice will prevail…. ‘cause it is finished.

 

A sinners coronation,

crowned with thorns and scurged by whips

dragged up like a criminal

to where the mighty sit

Pilate had no cause to find

Against this Lord of all

The Jews as one call crucify him,

God is sovereign as their judgment falls…. For it is finished

 

Chorus

Give glory to the son of God

Kneel down before him as your saviour and Lord

Bow down to him

Who can send you into hell and back again

Bow down right now, for the day will come…. When it is finished

 

A cross he carries laden

with the sins of those who jeer

A God omnipotent raised up

Our curse will end right here

The universe recoils

As the Son of God is hung

Crucified he breathes his last and cries… It is finished

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Waitin' For You

I am weary, of trying to work it out

trying to live it out, 

trying to practice what I preach

and sometimes the more I try, try to be sure enough

the more questions open up just out of reach

bridge

time has a way of washing over

like waves washing down the sure and certain shores

and as our time oh Lord, Oh Lord gets shorter

sometimes it feels like time's the one who can be sure

Chorus

But Lord I'm waitin' for you

I know your heaven is true

Where there's no more liein'

no fear of diein'

where your promises have all come true

Lord I'm waitin' for you

Sometimes the gospel falls through my fingers,

in a world that is always in my face

and I get tired of singin' onward Christian soldiers

when sometimes I'm the one who's in up to my waist

bridge

Life has a way of great deception

like a mirage in a dry and desert land

and as our lives draw close to our horizons

sometimes it feels like life's got two birds in the hand

Chorus

But Lord I'm waitin' for you

I know your heaven is true

Where there's no more liein'

no fear of diein'

where your promises have all come true

Lord I'm waitin' for you

I know your heaven is true

where there are no more fears, no more tears

and your promises have all come true

oh Lord I'm waitin'
