Carry The Burden (1 Peter 5:7; 1 Cor. 10:13) Life, it's a race that keeps running At each turn of the road The direction to go you keep learning At every junction there's another call To make decisions that could change it all Too many options to go...

Don't Look Back (Luke 9:62; Matt. 8:22; I John 1:9) Every morning as I look into the mirror Yesterday's mistakes are so painfully clear I could let them take me under, Be a source of misery Or I could understand the power Of the blood that's shed for me Of...

End Of Fear Don't be afraid... When I turn on my TV The whole world's falling apart I'm reading today's headlines It's like taking a walk in the dark No matter how it all may seem I won't let it get to me This is the end of fear This the end of my fear I'm...

Hope That Saves The World Raised on Hollywood Fast life, looking good Left right, right wrong Don't you see what's going on? Good man, bad man What's the difference in the end? We're incomplete Blinded with our eyes wide open Why can't we see You're the ho...

Inside Of You (Romans 8:29-31; I Corinthians 7:7b) As a child you used to dream There wasn't anything that you couldn't do Learn to fly on paper wings But somebody told you dreams don't come true Some settle for a lie and take it And try to keep their heart...

One Of These Days Outside it is getting warm People finding truth, something worth fighting for One word and a flame ignites Burning down the walls, lighting up the night Who knew, it'd come One of these days Sometimes you can wait too long And the life you...

Only Men How could a face in history Put a flame inside of me? A carpenter, the writer of eternity Some prophets claimed to do the same They offered hope another way They died, we buried them But did they rise again? Ooh, from age to age You never change Ooh...
