1. High Gear
High Gear
Here we are rockin' the night,
Having fun, flying high as a kite.
Feeling good, got the joy inside.
We're liftin up Jesus, we got nothing to hide.
Time is running out my friends,
So tell those who you know.
Do whatever you can today.
Why don't you step on some toes?
Gotta get it in high gear,
And get real with what you know.
Gotta get it in high high gear.
Gonna reap just what you sow!
There you are, rockin the night.
Crank it up, see the white hot lights.
Enjoy your music, feel good inside.
No matter how you feel, there's a world about to die.
You hear the music, you see the lights.
Oh, this is only a show!
If we don't do it, nobody will.
Let's take what we have and fight!
2. Dancin' In Heaven
Dancin In Heaven
Showdown in my Sunday school
I broke my teacher's favorite rule
Got up on my feet one day
Dancin' all my blues away
The fire came down, I began to move around
Teacher said to me, Son this cannot be
Dancin's not allowed
You're beginning to draw a crowd
I said, Teacher if we could see
In eternity we'll be...
Dancin' in Heaven
The angels and the sons of men
Will party in God's presence then
Dancin' in Heaven
Like David did in days of old
Upon the rock the does not roll
I said, Teacher, I just can't sit still
He said, Son, this thing is not God's will
Dancin' is an evil thing, it doesn't fit the hymns we sing
An angel then appeared and said, Man quit bein' weird
You can dance before the Lord
And your praise becomes a sword
If you let the Spirit move, even you can catch the groove
You can take a hint from me, for eternity we'll be...
When the Son of Man comes for us
We'll join the angels in the chorus
We will learn what it is to praise Him
We'll dance unto the Lord
Right now make sure that your motives are pure
You can be sure, it'll be pure
And we're gonna dance unto the Lord!
3. In America
In America
I grew up, here in America
Where good people worked hard
And everyone got along
I thought things were fine, here in America
But I was wrong
It seems it's all black and white, here in America
Either the color of money, or the color of your skin
Used to know wrong from right, here in America
And we will again
We can all live together
With Christ as our Lord
And us united in Him
We will all live forever
When the King of kings comes again
Through the eyes of our God, I see America
With no black and no white
None in bondage or free
Because Jesus is Lord, here in America
And He'll always be - Oh yeah!
We can all live together
United in Him
4. Overdrive [instrumental]
5. Without Your Love
Without Your Love
Never try to hurt anyone.
I try to keep to myself.
I'm all business, no time for love.
Emotions gather dust on the shelf.
Fast dealin', no time for feelin'.
All is well, I'm grabbing my dream.
I work hard at building my kingdom.
I don't care what tomorrow will bring.
All I've ever dreamed of is right in front of my eyes.
Without your love, I have nothing.
Without your love, nothing will stand.
Without your love, I have nothing.
Without your love, I'm such a miserable man.
Living high, up on that hill.
Got it all, so I've been told.
I've built a kingdom of diamonds and gold.
At night, it all turns so cold.
Shade my eyes to all that's around me,
Except that star I've needed to reach.
To late, my fate now surrounds me,
For all I've gained, I couldn't keep.
I wonder why I've waited so long
To see if you're what I'm looking for.
All the time I've wasted is gone.
Will you be there if I open the door?
6. Coming Home
Coming Home
I know I'm the one who did the wrong
The days are hard and the night is long
I'm trying to find my way back home
Standing outside in the pooring rain
Feeling so cold and alone again
I need to know if you're still by my side
I want to feel your embrace again
You're the only one I can call my friend
I'm coming home, back to where we began
The road is long, but I can get back again
Divided we fall, but together we stand
I'm coming home
There's only so much a man can take
Without forgiveness a heart will break
If you still love me, I need to know
So be my shelter from the storm
And take me back where it's safe and warm
And let me feel your touch of grace
I know how much of a fool I've been
I'm praying for the chance to come back again
I'm coming home, back to where we began
The road is long, but I can get back again
Divided we fall, but together we stand
I'm coming home
Yeah yeah I'm coming home, ooh
I'm coming home and I'm not connection torn
Yeah yeah yeah, ooh
I'm coming home, ooh
I'm coming home, back to where we begain
The road is long, but I can get back again
Divided we fall, but together we stand
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
7. My Love
My Love
When I'm broken, the setting sun finds me alone.
My soul cries out to you, come and touch this heart of stone.
Like the rain in spring time, I just need to be with you.
Nothing else can heal me, no nothing else will do.
There are things that try to take me for a ride.
Nothing else on earth can please me.
I need you by my side.
My love! You keep me from falling.
My love! You lift me up when I'm down.
My love! You hear my cry when I'm calling.
My love, you changed my life. You turned it all around.
Always and forever, you're the one that I come home to.
No one in this fallen world could take my love from you.
When I think about the time you loved me through my pain,
You took me by the hand and gave me hope again.
8. I'm Askin' You Today
I'm Asking You Today
Are you lonely, feeling no one's on your side?
Are there things you think you need to hide?
I've been with you, waiting from the very start,
For you to open up your heart.
I will give you back the wasted years.
With my hand, I'll dry your tears.
I will give you all that you will need.
Will you give your life for me?
Are you hurting? Will you let me have your pain?
Let me wash away the guilty stain.
I am waiting for you to call my name.
Then you will never be the same.
I am the door to Heaven.
Why would you wait another day?
How could you say tomorrow,
When I'm asking you today?
I will give you back your wasted years.
With my hand, I'll dry your tears.
You will never be alone again.
I'll be with you 'til the end.
9. 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!
10. I Shout
I Shout
Got a smile in my heart.
This joy he gives to me, The world can't take away.
From the moment I start, I'm givin' God glory.
All the things he's done for me, he sets my soul free.
When I look around and I see
All he's given me, it makes me sing.
And I shout!
Ooh, it makes me shout!
About the love I've found,
You turn me around,
Set my feet on solid ground.
And I shout!
Ooh, you make me shout!
You stay the same, you never change,
And that's worth shoutin' about!
This joy I have, my Lord will give to you.
You can have it if you really want to.
Open up your heart and you will find,
He'll be there for you, and you'll be shoutin' too!
Do you love the Lord?
Do you know you've been forgiven?
Have you felt his love?
When you walk with him, you start living!
And you can shout,
He'll make you shout!
Let me tell you something,
This love I've found, it is so great.
I call on him, and he hears my voice.
And when trouble comes my way,
He says, "Be still and know that I am God."
I wait patiently for him, and he lifts me out of the pit.
He sets my feet on a rock and I am safe.
He's faithful, and the earth is full of his amazing love.
That faithful love surrounds me and he never leaves me.
11. Long Road To Walk
Long Road To Walk
The soldiers grabbed him and led him away.
The hour of darkness came and ruled that day.
This was their chance, their time to move.
Many people united, they had something to prove.
An innocent man who did nothin' wrong,
And a hateful crowd who followed followed along,
A cruel plan to end the life of this king.
As he carried his cross he fell to his knees.
Somebody told me love is a long road to walk.
Oh Lord!
Somebody showed me love is a long road to walk.
When you face a trial and think you're alone,
When things come against you and cut to the bone,
Your friends betray you, their loyalty you miss.
Remember the pain when he fell to his kiss.
All of the times that you fail a friend,
They hurt you back, Lord help this to end.
We need to love and never look back.
No swerving from left to right,
Just race down the track.
Love is not jealous, conceited, or proud.
Love never gives up or follows the crowd.
Love is eternal, patient, and kind.
Without your love Lord, I'm poor, pitiful, and blind.
Oh Lord, give me love. Help me.
