1. Master's Command
The pain you feel
Is caused by all the things I've said and done
But your love for me is so real
You forgave me
And you sent your only Son
Oh, and you say
"My people are falling away from me
People, I'm calling you to be just as I am"
How can you say to me that you love me
Yet have so much hate for your brother?
Don't you know that the law says we're murderers
If we hate one another?
(Chorus)
Why can't we forgive one another
And learn to be just like I AM
Why don't we just love one another
And do as the Master commands?
Time's only waiting for you
To tear down the walls
Of pride that you've made
To see through the Master's eyes
And to realize
The changes we've all got to make
(Chorus)
Well don't you know that His blood
Is our forgiveness?
He's put the answer in us all
You heart is cold-your blood is black
You're full of darkness
But the Master's answer's in us all
How can you say to me that you love me
Yet have so much hate for your brother?
I've made it easy
Now the choice is up to you
Remember my judgment
Will be upon this matter
(Chorus)
2. Beyond the Mountain
Many people live their lives
As if there's no tomorrow
Not caring what goes on
Just drowning in their sorrows
The times are tough
And their just heading for a fall
So can you tell me
What's the meaning of it all?
(Chorus)
Beyond the mountain, where He waits for you and me
So many times you feel
You're left alone just standing
Well let me say that's nothing new!
The righteousness displayed
By Christ they all rejected
They hated Him and they'll hate you!
So count it joy
When you are headed for the wall
And just remember He's the meaning of it all
(Chorus 2)
Beyond the mountain, is the place I wanna be
Beyond the mountain, is the place for you and me
(Repeat Chorus 2)
You struggle with this lonely time
You feel abandoned
Say no one takes the time to care
Oh ... can't you see the lies
That blind you leave you stranded
That special someone is out there
So count it joy
When you are headed for the wall
And just remember He's the meaning of it all
(Repeat Chorus 2)
3. Evil Lurks
4. Bound in Chains
As the night starts it's rising, the streets start to fill
You're looking to get your next thrill
Music is loud, the lights are bright
Woman is dressed to kill wearing their high heels and tights
(Chorus 1)
Can't you see it's all so clear
Your living a lie
Wondering why, still searching inside
Days go by still you try, never understanding
That you're just one of many bound in chains
Pusher's pushing, the thief is stealing
The preacher's preaching but his life's full of darkness
The gangster's killing, the witch she's casting spells
Astrologer's tell their lies and people but these feelings
(Chorus 2)
Can't they see it's all so clear
They're living a lie
Wondering why, they're searching inside
Days go by still they try, never understanding
That they're just one of many bound in chains
If you choose to live life by these ways
No one else can take the blame
For the pain you're gonna feel
But the truth's within you, crying out
Now how much longer will you live in this darkness
(Chorus 3)
Can't they see it's all so clear
They're living a lie
Wondering why, they're searching inside
Days go by still they try, never understanding
That they're just one of many bound
On you keep pushing on, will you ever realize
That they're just one of many bound in chains
5. Unfailing Love
I never knew what love was all about
'till I found you
I never thought that it ever would be this way
Many times I've tried to make it on my own
But I'd fall apart
Yet I knew you were the One
(Chorus)
I know you won't ever leave me in pain
I know our love will never die
When I'm feeling lonely
You're right there by me side
You take my hand and tell me
Everything's alright
When I hear your voice
It sends a chill right through me
The feeling of your love
Unfailing and forever strong
Even though, I can't count the times
I've let you down
This I know you promise
That you'll never let me go
(Chorus)
When I hear your voice
It sends a chill right through me
The feeling of your love
Unfailing and forever strong
Even though, I can't count the times
I've let you down
This I know you promise
That you'll never let me go
(Chorus)
6. Paradise
I look ahead to that heavenly dwelling
An angel showed me in a dream
And here's what he said...
"You won't believe what you will see"
Then he took me away
To a mountain so high
And showed me a city so fine
That's come down from heaven
It's pearly gates are shining bright
(Chorus)
Oh.. can it be I must be in paradise
I really think so
Can it be I'm looking at paradise
For the kingdom of heaven shall dazzle the faithful
It's walls made of jasmines and gold
With sounds of sining angels
Giving praise to His name
And we won't need the sun or the moon
To shine on us
The glory of God gives us light
And the Lamb is our lamp
No darkness will enter our lives
(Chorus)
There will be no more crying-no death
And no mourning
The old things have now passed away
His glory's revealed
Freed from the bond of our sin
Then I woke up and jumped out of bed
Elated by all that I'd seen
In the dream that I had
I've never felt so great before
(Chorus)
7. Uncontrolled
Well there's people living for excitement
They feel like it's the only way of life
Born with anger
Life's hell every hour
From dawn to dusk they're always on the run
But if you think about it
Every heart has some love
A simple prayer might change the world
We just can't lock them up and throw away the key
That's not what we believe, NO
Heading toward destruction
Men of lawlessness
Opposing the righteous in every way
On a fine line
So don't take the chance
The wicked man is doomed by his own sin
But if you think about it
Every heart has some love
A simple prayer might change the world
We just can't lock them up and throw away the key
That's not what we believe, NO
You're running away from reality
It's a drastic measure you don't see
There's no reason to go on this way
It's not a way of life
Uncontrolled your lust gives birth to sin
And sin when it is full grown can lead to death
People listen
You've got to receive
The greatest gift of all-eternal life
And when you think about it
Every heart has some love
A simple prayer might change the world
And the One who loves you lives today
And it's Him you must receive
8. Many Will Come
Many will come
In the name of Him
But the Spirit's there
For all to see
Their blood runs cold
Just like the rest
But in the end of time
Will tell who will be blessed
(Chorus)
We will see Him standing
When the rest are gone
He'll be dressed in white
And He will shine
If you believe
That He has come
Back from the dead
To save the souls of everyone
He'll give you life abundantly
And in the Father's hands
That's where we all will be
(Chorus)
We will see Him standing
When the rest are gone
He'll be dressed in white
And He will shine
If you believe
That He has come
Back from the dead
To save the souls of everyone
He'll give you life abundantly
And in the Father's hands
That's where we all will be
(Chorus)
Can you see the light?
Cam you feel the power?
He'll be the One who's dressed in white
9. Onward Warriors
10. The Flood
Now it came to pass
Just before the flood
The Lord saw men's wickedness
And said I'll spill their blood
Mercy follows mercy
The decision's up to you
Get right with the Christ child
Heed the warning: It's coming soon
Parallels of Hell
Destruction from above
Water into fire
God's will be done
Mercy follows mercy
The decision's up to you
Get right with the Christ child
Heed the warning: It's coming soon
You see the food as it's coming
To this place
Nowhere to run and hide
Preachers of righteousness
Are warning you today
To turn from sin
To escape the wrath that's coming
Receive the truth and be saved
The earth is filled with violence
And it will pay
Like nuclear destruction
Could happen any day
Why then would you choose
To refuse the offer in
To the arks type which is Christ child
For a fleeting dance with sin
Saints arise
11. Holy, Holy, Holy
Holy Holy Holy Lord
God of power and might
Heaven and earth are
Filled with your glory
(Chorus)
Hosanna, Hosanna
In the highest
Hosanna, Hosanna
In the highest
