1. Attention Please
Attention Please
Hey all you people, stand up and join me,
Gimme a listen, I've got something for you.
We have a reason to get excited.
His name is Jesus, He knows all about you.
It's time to wake up, shake up!
He's calling out, your attention please.
He wants it now, your attnetion please, please!
Your head is spinnin', so many questions.
Wonder what's missin', could it be true?
There is an answer and if you seek Him,
You will find Him.
He will make all things new!
It's time to learn the right way,
The straight way!
Do you hear him callin' you?
It's time to make your move!
You're always thinkin' nobody loves you.
You're left alone and there's no one to call.
Can't find a reason to keep on livin'.
Your hands are tied up,
You're nailed to the wall.
2. We Know What's Right
We Know What's Right
Your love for the city
Full of sin, what a pity
When You arrive they don't know who You are
You came unto Your own
God's love will now be shown
They don't know You're the bright and morning star
So blinded by their law
Their hope will burn like straw
We know what's right
We'll stand and fight, it's time to rise
Come on and see
The victory before your eyes
Your death for the city
So complete, it wasn't pretty
They didn't understand what You had planned
You arose three days later
Death was strong, but You were greater
Still those closest to You could not stand
So blinded by their pain
Didn't know what they would gain
If you know so well the right thing to do
For you not to do it is wrong
Yesterday is gone, now whatever you do
Just remember to whom you belong
3. Take It To The Limit
Take It To The Limit
You always say you wanna follow me
But when I call you're never around
Talk is cheap. It's time for action.
This time I'm gonna pin you down.
I wanna see your faith on the line.
You've got to take it to the limit
'Cause my love is all you need.
Take it to the limit
And by my side you'll always be.
I could provide everything you lack.
But you keep tryin' to carry the world on your back.
I wanna see your faith on the line.
You've got to take it to the limit
'Cause my love is all you need.
Take it to the limit
And by my side you'll always be.
You talk in circles but You can't see.
You'll find your freedom
When you start trustin' in Me.
I wanna see your faith on the line.
You've got to take it to the limit
'Cause my love is all you need.
Take it to the limit
And by my side you'll always be.
4. Gonna Keep On
Gonna Keep On
I'm gonna keep on trustin in God's son.
Lord I need you.
I'm gonna keep on trustin in God's son.
Lord I need you.
On a day like today
I know I need to pray.
So many lives I've hurt.
I'm so glad I have your word.
I'm gonna keep on.
Got my hold on tight.
I know who I believe in.
I won't give up the fight.
I'm gonna keep on trustin in God's son.
Lord I need you.
I'm gonna keep on trustin in God's son.
Lord I need you.
On a night like tonight
I wanna do what's right.
No matter what goes on,
You are my strength, my song.
Yeah, I'm gonna keep on.
Got my hold on tight.
I know who I believe in.
I won't give up the fight.
I'm gonna keep on.
Got my hold on tight.
I know who I believe in.
I won't give up the fight.
Hear what I say.
Come on, yeah.
And all the while it seems I've lost
To risk in me just to count the cost, yeah! (?)
I'm gonna keep on.
Got my hold on tight.
I know who I believe in.
I won't give up the fight.
I'm gonna keep on.
Got my hold on tight.
I know who I believe in.
I won't give up the fight,
Give up the fight,
Give up the fight.
Yeah I'm gonna keep on, yeah!
5. Who Will You Follow
Who Will You Follow
So many different paths to follow.
Are you stumblin in the night?
It's not worth the cost to be eternally lost.
Satan is the father of lies.
Follow him, you'll surely die.
You need to be told, "Come out of the cold." Yeah.
There'll be no one to blame
If you play his game.
Jesus is king. He's why we sing.
Who will you follow?
Satan, or The Author of Life?
Jesus paid the price.
God made the sacrifice for you!
Do you feel like you're losing the war?
Jesus said, "I am the Door".
You'll fall away if you disobey.
Day by day you are making a choice.
Listening to someone's voice.
Will you be defiled or be God's child? Yeah.
6. Nagasake (Guitar Solo)
7. Good Enough
Good Enough
Some people said He was a prophet
He was a teacher of the law
Was He the one and only Son of God?
Did they understand who He said He was at all?
Won't be no doubtin'
Cause in the end we all will shout
That's good, good enough
That's good enough for me
Well that's good, good enough
That's good enough for me
Now if you think He was a legend
Well listen, I've got news for you
His story would've died a long time ago
One day soon we'll see His words were true
Won't be no doubtin'
Cause in the end we all will shout
He's the Rock of Ages, the Cornerstone
A sure foundation
And we're all goin' home
8. Down
Down
The train is in the station now,
It's reached the end of the line.
Two times a loser, you never could refuse her,
The lie exposed and the old life,
You've left it all behind.
You're going down, down, down.
She's a master of disguise,
You're going down, down, down.
When you first started, it all seemed like a joke,
But then that's always how you've been.
Now I hardly know you,
The lady she does own you.
And now you're finding out,
You're finding out, the joke's on you, my friend.
You're going down, down, down.
Don't you realize,
You're going down, down, down.
What would you do to get another hit
And snort the powder once again.
Before you burn out, and fade away,
Cry out to Jesus,
Only the Lord can take your sin away.
9. Living On The Edge
Living On The Edge
I know that your heart is burning out
Like a bon bon on the flame.
You've tried crouching in a different alley every night.
The rain wakes you up just the same.
Now Satan keeps a-playin', jumpin' up and around.
He's telling you take a dive.
You can't get a fix of what's going wrong,
He keeps feeding you alibies.
Living on the edge, while your world is coming apart.
Living on the edge, there's a cry in your heart.
Living on the edge, being dragged down by sin,
'Til the light of the world comes in.
Wouldn't cross the line that you never could see,
And you're spinning 360 degrees.
Just keep it moving around, keep it low to the ground.
You want a fire but he won't leave.
Uh huh, Satan's gonna pull you in every way.
Well, it's time to learn a thing or two.
When you feel the locomotion of a runaway train,
Jesus will be there for you.
Living on the edge, while your world is coming apart.
Living on the edge, there's a cry in your heart.
Living on the edge, being dragged down by sin,
'Til the light of the world comes in.
Used to ride home on a jet black horse.
Heard you coming four towns away.
Livin' on the lam, takin' nothing when you can.
Never should have gone past the day.
Now I see a change in the way that you live.
Satan's fit for yesterday's news.
You got the love in your eye, and I can understand why.
You got the Holy Spirit inside of you.
Living on the edge, while your world is coming apart.
Living on the edge, there's a cry in your heart.
Living on the edge, being dragged down by sin,
'Til the light of the world comes in.
10. Holy War
Holy War
Listen, sound a warning, hear the angel of the Lord
Jesus comes, bringing justice, not peace but a holy sword
Tremble every demon power and principality
The day comes when you'll confess Him
With all creation on their knees
Come on, Gabe, stop trippin'
My god is gaining while yours is steady slippin'
Look around, the church is dying
Step off punk, there ain't no point in trying
To make your case, I'm in your face
With the news that your crew's 'bout to be disgraced
We're bold, cold, 'bout to put you on hold
Like a twenty dollar suit we're gonna watch you fold
Holy war, holy war
He is Lord, Jesus is Lord, Jesus is Lord
Listen, heed the warning
Thru the heavens and thru the earth
He returns to claim his people
Made alive in the second birth
Rise up, holy nation, you are victors in Jesus' name
Take a stand and raise a standard
With the word that we proclaim
Hold on, homes, get a grip
I'm droppin' science on the Revelation tip
It's a fairy tale, a bedtime story
There won't be no Armegeddon cuz we're gonna steal the glory
From your so-called King and the posse He brings
Won't be no thing but a chicken wing
We're living large, and takin' charge
Gonna park you like a car in your momma's garage
Holy war, holy war
He is Lord, Jesus is Lord, Jesus is Lord
Let the trumpets sound about the universe
We proclaim the glory of the Lord
Jesus Christ has gained for us the victory
He's already won the Holy War
11. He Is The Rock
