1. Victory
2. Greetings of Death
3. No Time
4. J.I.G.
5. Speckled Bird
6. Awake
1. Victory
An innocent man's blood was shed
Foretold this was in past
It will cleanse the people of their sin
Forever the covering lasts
The sacrifice has now been made
We are saved by His blood
Having done all to stand
In victory from above
[Chorus]
There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emmanuel's veins
The price has now been paid
For you
The time has come for you to choose
Choose whom you will serve
As for me and my band
Christ we have chose to serve
[Chorus]
2. Greetings of Death
It has been appointed once for a man to die
but after this the judgement
Once the appointment has been made
nothing can be done to change it
no need to be afraid of the greetings of death
will you be wrapped in the chains of torment?
or pass from life unto death?
the power of death knows not one
but to live you must die
life is for those who have offered their lives
to live is Christ to die is to gain
are you afraid to die?
3. No Time
I've been through the day and I don't have the time
To speak unto friends or to speak Lord to You
There is only one thing on my mind
And that is pleasing myself which I've no time to do
[Chorus]
No time, no time
That's my constant cry
No time to help those in need
At last it's time to die
No time
At last before the Lord I came
I stood with downcast eyes
He held a book in His hands
It was the Book of Life
He opened up the book and said,
"Your name I cannot find
I was once going to write it down
But I couldn't find the time."
God opened up His book and said,
"Your name I cannot find
I was once going to write it down
But I couldn't find the time."
[Chorus]
4. J.I.G.
King of Kings, Lord of Lords,
Emmanuel God is with us
First and Last, He erases past,
He's Lord and King
He's everything
High Priest touched with feelings of our infirmities
Advocate, One with God, the True and Only Son of God
Jesus is God
Jesus is God
Jesus is God
King of Kings, I am is He,
He's coming back to rule this
Land with swift sword in hand,
All the gods, of gold and stone, will fall
before Him when they see His eyes of fire
Jesus is God
Jesus is God
Jesus is God
Jesus is God
5. Speckled Bird
What a wonderful thought I am thinking
Concerning a great speckled bird
I think of her grace and her beauty
Written on the page of God's own Book
6. Awake
I am your messenger
and your plea has been granted
You must leave at once, go back to your planet
Your time is limited so go at once to those
Who you're going to warn of your new God forsaken home
Don't play games with God this Hell we heard of is real
Don't ignore the preacher when he says the thief comes in to steal
Don't be fooled this world ain't worth damnation's fee
Or come live in the fiery pit with me
Awake
