1. Back to you

You knew the way you knew the truth

You knew the life that manyhave

Remember the time rememberthe place

Remember the feelings you oncehad

When all the laughter hid allthe pain

You gave your life but yourefrained

To let it go you held it inyour love

Was slowly choked away

Can you feel it coming backto you

I saw the looks and condemningwords

Spoken by the ones who claimedHis name

It drove you back to a secludedworld

You got so sick of playingthe game

For everyone who's quick tojudge is

Another ten with outstretchedarms

To pick you up to be a friendto love

You just for who you are

And now it's time to let itgo

Release the past that hurtyou so

Return to peace return to joy

Let His presence fill yoursoul

Throw off the yoke that burdenedyou

Your days of bitterness arethrough

You're gaining ground you'regaining strength

The fire's coming back to you




2. Commitment

You gave me your word but Iguess I was wrong to assume

That your promise would lastmore than one afternoon

It's so easy to talk yet sohard to come through

And so foolish of me to puttrust in you

Your lack of commitment issomething that scars so deep

And the faith I once had inyou I can't keep

I've been burned to the pointwhere I just can't feel

And I've got to find someonewho'll be real

Commitment is so hard for youto make

Commitment is so easy for youto break

Can't you see the pain yourcausing me

With your lack of love andsincerity

When all else had failed Godreminded me to look to Him

For commitment that lasts He'sthe unfailing friend

And His will is for me to forgiveand forget

And remember the value of commitment




3. Before God

Leaning on their strength

Screaming as they sink

Chasing empty dreams

Breaking at the seams

Greying the black and white

Failing of their sight

Leaving truth behind

Grieving loss of mind

See them falling down

Paving the road ahead

Saving the walking dead

Crying for their pain

His dying was not in vain




4. S.S.C.

Get out that Sunday suit andwear the vest

Today's the day that God seesya

You gotta look your best

Put on the tie and tie it upstraight

Now hurry off to Sunday Schooland don't be late

You are Sunday School cool

You got Sunday School cool

You're cool

You're so cool, you're so cool

Make your grand entrance makeall the heads turn

Sit down by your buddies, yougot a lesson to learn

Whoops forgot your Bible, lostsome points there

But you don't use it anywayso why should you care




5. Mercy and Grace

I can remember the times thatI failed

All the times that I turnedaway

All the hatred and pain heldinside

I can remember the time thatI prayed

You took my sin and You threwit from east to west

The things I remember You willforget

I cried out for something that'sreal

Is there something out therethat's true

Out of all of the things thatI tried

God I‘d never thought It'dbe You

You took my hand and You showedme a different path

And gave me Your Spirit andspared Your wrath

I can't begin to comprehendYour mercy and Your grace

The one true Friend beyondthe end

Can't wait to see Your face




6. Red River (One Bad Pig Cover)

Bad boy, bad boy, wanting someattention

Looking for some action, can'tget no satisfaction

I am bad boy searching formy place

Falling on my face, cryingout for grace

Take me down, take me downto Red River

Oh I need to start again

Take me down, wash me cleanin Red River

Cover me in crimson - I needRed River

I know, I know, I made a bigmistake

I don't deserve a break, Hislove will never shake

I cry, you cry, cry out forsalvation

Hear this revelation, thereain't no condemnation

Dripping from that tree, flowingdown Skull Mountain

Into that bloody sea

Cover you, Red River coverme




7. Nothing

Things you try to sell me

You speak with a forked tongue

The path of least resistance

You try to force upon

Unsuspecting people

Living on your word

Sitting high upon your throne

You will be undone

You're proving nothing

Your words are useless

You're proving nothing

Soon will come the hour

The portion of things to come

Day of final judgement

You've got nowhere to run

As in the days of Noah

No one listened for the flood

Every man upon his knee

Worship the risen One

The time is fast approaching

So listen to these words

Reject the fatal poison

Of men who never learn

They seek your searching soul

They're waiting for the kill

My God above will crush theirbones

Deception will be stilled




8. Drop the Puck

I'm walking down the corridor,I smell the ice again

The rink is mine I'm feelingfine now let the game begin

I'm in the face off circletoo long, zebra's out of luck

I knock him with my twig andsay hey man just drop the puck

Drop the puck

We want more

Drop the puck

He shoots he scores

Cross check in the corner glovesdrop now it's fist to face

Tossed into the sin bin butI'll put punk in his place

Race across the blue line passone-timer's in the net

Siren's roaring now I'm scoringain't my last goal yet

All tied up it's 2 on 1, apoke check knocks it loose

I steal it for a breakawaygot goalie by the noose

Slapshot through the five-holebiscuit flies right through the chump

Dogpile on me victory it'stime to kiss the cup




9. (Secret/Hidden Track)
