chorus
yeah, at war with war
chorus 3&4
yeah at war with war, no more, at war with war.
verse1
they seek his life in vein he will not be denied,
he escapes the clutch of sin to be restored unto his homeland
chorus repeat
They brag the victory, but it comes through love not hate,
see the power comes from the servant who puts his sword to service
Bridge
Love not your life among us, lay down your hate for service,
the power comes from lifting others, the weak shall hate mankind.
What makes you think you're powerful,
you hate those you see as less but the more people that you trample,
the more you're bound to trip.
Chorus repeat
Militias of death, people who hate the black man...
what makes you think you're best?
take heed of victorys in arenas
Bridge Repeat
Interlude
I have made myself a servant to all,
that I might win all the more,
now I do this for the Gospel's sake that I might partake it with you.
To the jews I am a jew, to those under the law as under the law,
to those without the law as without the law, seeking to serve, to signify.
Chorus Repeat,
Verse 1 Repeat,
Interlude, Repeat.
2. Triumph Of Mercy
Weeks of hideous pain bent me down,
doctor gave me asprin to ease the pain,
soon a blood test revealed the brutal force,
I had been inflicted with the worst...luekaemia.
Chemotherapy began the process off,
powerful but destructive drugs infused into my blood.
The only way out, but hideous pain, cry out to God in the night.
He blesses his children with sleep.
But little did I know that the real pain was coming.
What is known as a bone marrow transplant, was my only chance they said.
Chemotherapy was just a 1% chanve but if I could find a donor with identical stem cells,
I could have a 25-40% chance of cure, survival.
78% of sufferers never find a donor but something interesting was there in my case....
God had given me my father's stem cells, perfect for the transplant.
God doesn't work by percentages.
We trusted God with all our heart my dad had had skin cancer,
any remaining melanoma would surely have taken my life.
The immense suffering of a bone marrow transplant can not be put into words.
As I lay in my living nightmare I cried out to God, who is always there.
Two days had gone past the limit to produce the blood for me to survive.
Doctors with empty faces entered the room to share the devastating news.
I needed a second transplant or I would surely die.
We were told the second transplant usually didn't work, but was my only hope.
We needed a miracle from God, we felt his power fill the room.
Peace overcame fear, as we gave up control to the almighty.
Ashtonishment, joy, and disbelief was felt by family, medical staff and doctors,
were shocked with the realization that the original stem cells had begun to work.
God performed a miracle and the blood began it's count.
Soon the graft had taken I was on the road home.
As I was discharged we prayed that all would work.
Weeks of pain followed as my body fought to live.
The devastating pain was a real sick affair.
I forced myself on walks and to eat each day,
but the immense pain was more than I can say, was more than I can say.
As I struggled to live on and fight the sickness war
we were told by doctors that the cancer had returned.
Two weeks I was given but we had had enough.
We were ready to hand all to God.
No more treatment I annouced to the cancer doctor.
Standing there I was in God's hands then suddenly one day a double seizure struck me down.
Family gathered round to see my final hours.
Countless damage had racked my body leaving me half dead.
I couldn't walk, I couldn't see, my insides were badly hurt, it seemed it was the end for me.
Warrior upon warrior around our distant globe kept the vigil fight of prayer
of power that can't be stopped and as the folks cried out to God,
He heard them and I live to stand for him.
A lot more special days.
God has given me peace and comfort all along.
As I have cried out to HIs grace the joy is overwhelming.
He has the power to heal, He has the power to save,
as we trust in his mercy we know that we are safe.
I KNOW THAT I AM HEALED!!!!!!!

5. Influence
Those who seek after fame put others down,
climb the heights of your dream to be proclaimed.
The world doesn't need any more stars exalting self.
The world needs more people of faith.
Influence in your life, we done want the fame we want salvation,
influence for the cross, unity of faith across the nations.
Make the way of the cross your life goal pull the man from his grave to be revived.
Millions of hopeless troden people there is hope in the saving blood of Christ,
Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every listener
and to all who believe in Jesus Christ will be saved but they who do not believe, will be condemned.
see the light in the eyes of the holyman.
Can't you see that the rivers flow within, why be lost in a sea of hate and lust,
we can tell you the change is now in Christ.

Now be born to a new life, certain hell awaites the lost.
The utter pain without God in eternity is more than a thousand lashes could toll.
Chorus repeat X 2
6. Drain Dweller
Out of the sewers, out of the drains, life of filth, possess your brain.
Where's your next bed, where's your next bread.
Hide those scar filled veins.
Scramble for money, beg on the streets, looking for mercy,
can you be freed, you've no love in your life,
you were dropped at birth, what is fair about pain,
some just suffer on, somehow I releate to your utter pain.
All I know is this, God is always there,
come to him, cling to him, trust in him,
see the change, when all is lost, read the word,
shout to God, and feel the hope.
You're out of the sewers, you're out of the drains, new birth has come,
your life is saved, all those new friends,
those ones who care, their compassion, comes from God.
Show those drug free veins.
You've found love in your life, you were hugged at rebirth,
when you ventured to your new found faith in Chrrist,
Show those drug free veins!
7. Raw Is The Stonewood Temple
In the midst of the field of life we stand in the storms of the dark
holy salvation brings us light all else is false hope.
Raw is the stonewood temple, stained glass window shining,
raw is the stonewood temple, light in the midst of dying.
Buffet our bodies in the walk of the light,
evil cannot break us we're insured with eternal flame, save our souls from dying.
Die to rise, arise, survive, in the pain that this life brings, Christ is the only hope.
We are but dust form of man
Don't forget eternity
the light, the light, eternity!
We pray the promise of eternal life,
we pray the promise of abundance,
we pray the claim of hree score years and ten to live our faith out.

9. Visited By An Angel
Visited by an angel, a beautiful love song,
surrounded by a clouded light, the joy was overwhelming,
who are you I mustered, from a shaken breath,
I am an Angel especially to minister to you today.
Don't go away, I pleaded I never do, it smiled.
Suddenly a vision thouseands of people who hated me,
all around what did I see, what can man do to you?
The awesome presence said I fell back in a peace all my fear relieved, relieved.
from my bed I arose with a joy filled heart of praise I laughed until I cried,
I could not believe my state, I fell down to the floor, an utter laughing mess.
Visited by an angel, a very special gift,
months of pain have followed as I have fought a cancer plight
but I was sent an angel to show I had a strenght,
God showed me my special friend that day, that day!
