1. The Calling
When you've got a call that you just can't ditch
There's noone there who's gonna scratch your itch
Sometimes I got me thinking there's another way
God will keep me strong to fight another day
When you're called you just can't fight it
It's the feeling that's deep inside
Jesus calls boldly to show them the way
That's how it works, start working today
God won't leave you, he's seen it all before
He knows you're weak, just get over it
When he calls your name, be sure you'll be saved
His will absolute, don't think you can change it
When you're called you just can't fight it
It's the feeling that's deep inside
Jesus calls boldly to show them the way
That's how it works, start working today
I know this is true, I've seen it happen to me
You can't escape God once he's pointed to you
Pick up your cross, carry it strong toward him
It's the way to be saved, so start today
When you're called you just can't fight it
It's the feeling that's deep inside
Jesus calls boldly to show them the way
That's how it works, start working today
2. Play it Loud
3. Death on the Cross
He came down to Earth as a man for us
Before too long the rulers abhorred him
They hated the things that he stood for
Because his teachings threatened their power
His trial was a farce, he was not guilty
They wanted him dead, so death was his sentence
Crucify him on a cross, they all shouted
The Son of Man in chains he was taken
He bled, he was whipped, but still he continued
Chose not to call on the heavenly powers
He took all the pain and the torment they gave him
Shredded skin, gaping wounds could not make him relent
This man Jesus Christ, he is to be praised
He was lifted for our wrongs on that fateful day
Son of Man, Son of God, all of sin he bore
Precious gift, act of love, that goes on forever
Death, death, death on the cross
Christ he died for our sin
Death, death, death on the cross
Salvation comes through him
When he was crucified at Calvary
Many people witnessed the death of our Lord
They saw the pain in his eyes
They could see he had a broken heart
They heard him scream out loud from the cross
They were scared as the sky went black
They'd tell you this man was real
They'd tell you that he died for our sins
Death, death, death on the cross
Christ he died for our sin
Death, death, death on the cross
Salvation comes through him

6. Celebrity Judge and the Sinners Part I
Job sat in the judge’s seat
Satan took defence
God commanded for his deeds
He must make recompense
Job said “Are you not the one
Responsible for this?
Didn’t you cause my suffering?”
The devil smiled, “Yes”
A rich man came to take the stand
His judges they were many
While he’d prospered in his wealth
They did not have any
They had sold their very souls
To put bread on the plate
He had left his wealth behind
As he stood at Hell’s gate
Moses was the next to judge
And Darwin hid from sight
For he had shunned the Genesis
To keep men from its light
Moses said, “I showed the way
With scripture from the Lord
Evolution’s twisted system
Never came from God!”
The Pharisees and all their kind
Were last to take the stand
While people tried to do their best
They ruled with iron hand
Moses said, “God wrote the Law
And made it set in stone
You hypocrites, you brood of snakes
Your laws will judge your own!”
Be careful what you do and say
And not just to save face
For God will have His Judgement Day
And put you in your place…
7. The North Wind
Now is the time for a journey deep in the dark
Through icy chambers that lie deep within your heart
The icy north winds chill to the very core
Howling as they flow, a truth that's very sure
Christ is Lord
Christ is King
Christ is God
The North Wind
In ancient texts that have been passed down through aeons
There is a premise that just cannot be undone
All we are and all we have is a gift of love
A stone cold truth, stark as ice, revealed from above
Christ is Lord
Christ is King
Christ is God
The North Wind
And so this love that you feel runs through your veins
Feel your blood unthaw as you are born again
His healing is coming you never will be the same
Now is the time that you must lift high up his name
Christ is Lord
Christ is King
Christ is God
The North Wind
Muscles, tissues, blood flow accelerates
As you are restored into your intended state
The love of God has restored your heart and soul
The message of the North Wind, it has taken hold
Christ is Lord
Christ is King
Christ is God
The North Wind
Lord, King, God x4
