1. No Second Chances
No Second Chances
The rich man lived in luxury
He was always wantin' more
And Lazarus the beggar
Laid at the gate covered with sores
It wasn't long and the beggar died
The angels carried him to Abraham's side
When the rich man died he felt the torment of hell
He looked up, his voice rang like a bell
Give me one more chance to do things right
Just one more chance, I'll follow the light
But there's no second chances, the Host of Heaven cried
No second chances, you listened to lies
The rich man, oh, he couldn't go back
To warn his brothers of his fate
Now we've been given the charge
It's up to us, now don't hesitate
Are you livin' in the comfort zone
Storin' up treasures that soon'll be gone
Or tellin' your brother that Jesus died
So on that last day you won't hear Him cry
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. In The Kingdom
In The Kingdom
Saw the headlines just the other day
Said the wall's comin' down
Said the peace is just a breath away
One world, one voice, on happy family
Yeah, that's what the world believes
I read my Bible just the other day
Said the Kingdom's comin' down
Jesus said the Kingdom's just a prayer away
One Lord, one God, one faith eternally
Yeah that's what the church believes
We're alive, we are strong
We're a nation, we belong
Let us all stand together in the Kingdom
No more darkness, no more night
We are children of the light
Let us all stand together in the Kingdom
Heard a newsman just the other day
He said a war was comin' down
He said destruction was just a breath away
One world, one war, one awesome tragedy
Yeah, that's what the world believes
I heard a preacher just the other day
He said God's glory's comin' down
Just as the waters cover all the seas
One King, one crown, one reign forevermore
Yeah that's what we have and more
In the Kingdom
One Lord, one God
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
One name above all names
All stand together in the Kingdom
Na na na One King, one crown
One reign forevermore
All work together in the Kingdom
4. In His Hands
In His Hands
In a warm house, your heart is cold
A young girl feeling so alone
Your family there, they say they care
They don't understand the burdens you bear
There in the quiet, He whispers your name
Oh, if you answer, you won't be the same
In His hands, there is comfort
In His hands, there's everlasting love
In His hands, He will hold you
In His hands, He will lift you up
A young man putting on a bluff
'Cause late a night you just wanna die
Alone in your room you hide away and cry
There in the quiet, He whispers your name
Oh, if you answer, you won't be the same
5. 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
6. Love Is Our Weapon
Love Is Our Weapon
There's a war goin' on
And are you ready to fight
Our weapons are not of this world
They belong to the light
By His power we demolish strongholds
Put our enemy back in his place
And even though we live in a world of sin
When we walk with the Lord we win
Love is our weapon
We need to use it
Love is our weapon
Let's not abuse it
Well, it begins on our knees
When God's children start to pray
Then the devil has to flee
By His power we will demolish strongholds
Put our enemy back in his place
And even though we live in a world of sin
When we walk with the Lord we win
7. The Eternal Fire [instrumental]
8. You Will Find It There
You Will Find It There
If you sometimes cry out in the night
And in the darkness you can't see the light
You feel there's nothin' more to do
You think all hope is gone for you
And all you've wanted was peace of mind
Your pursuit of happiness has robbed ya, robbed ya blind
Just remember what you heard before
When your heart of stone becomes an open open open door
There's peace in the presence of the Lord
You will find it there
Take His hand, He will lead ya to the joy
You will find it there
I searched this land from shore to shore
My quest for self it don't mean that much anymore no no
In this path that I have taken
Ooo so many times I've been forsaken
And all my dreams that have been shattered
Have caused me to see what really matters
Just remember what you heard before
When your heart of stone becomes an open door
Ooo there's peace in the presence of the Lord
You will find it, you will find it there
Take His hand, He will lead you to the joy
You will find it there
There's peace, peace in the presence of the Lord
You will find it there
Just take His hand, He will lead you to the joy
Oh you will find it there, you will find it there
There's peace, peace in the presence, presence of the Lord
9. If He Goes Before Me
If He Goes Before Me
I know your eyes see me as being weak
And without any strength or wisdom to call my own
I know the odds they don't favor me
But my friend have you forgotten I'm not alone
The Father's here with me
Already fighting the battles I can't see
If He goes before me
How could I ever lose
If He goes before me
Before I ever begin
I know I'll win
If he goes before me
Remember David, so young and frail
Not afraid of fighting battles with simple things
He stood against the great warrior
That fell and gave to victory her sweetest ring
These pages are true
And I believe what David already knew
10. Tell Me The Time
Tell Me The Time
Went walkin', people were a gawkin'
Saw him like many times before
He was dirty, a little topsy turvey
No one cared about the burden he bore
I was thinkin', man this dude's been drinkin'
Could he even hear what I had to say
My nerves a jumpin', heart started pumpin'
As he looked up I started to pray
O dear Lord please give me wisdom and help me to be led
He walked up to me, looked right at me, and this is what he said
Say, can you tell me the time
Time to be leavin'
Hey, can you tell me the time
It's time for you to see
Say, won't you tell me the time
Time to be receivin'
Hey there, looky here, I'll make it clear
If you listen, I'll tell you the time
Well, I told 'em the lies the devil sold him
Would only bring more pain to his heart
There was Someone I knew he could rely on
To help give his life a brand new start
And all the burdens that he had always carried
Could be buried by Calvary's love
The price was paid there, but no He didn't stay there
He conquered death so we could join Him above
Dear Lord won't ya please forgive me, I led him as he prayed
And from now on he will be ready for that rapture day
Now he can tell you the time
And now he is believin'
Hey he can tell you the time
His blinded eyes can see
Oh he can tell you the time
The time he did receive Him
No more Mr. Poor, brand new score
When he prayed, he opened the door
And now he turns to you
And in him there are changes
He knows just what to do
He knows a lot of funny strangers
And all the love he's found
Puts an end to eternal danger
He's tellin' you the time is now
Check out this guitar sound
Say, can you tell 'em the time
Hey, can you tell 'em the time
Won't you tell 'em the time
Don't ya pout, never doubt, check it out
Tell 'em what it's all about
Say, can you tell me the time
Time to be leavin'
Hey, can you tell me the time
It's time for you to see
Say, won't you tell me the time
Time to be receivin'
Hey there, looky here, I made it clear
They'll listen so tell 'em the time
11. 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
