Lyrics:
Na na na na na na na na na na na na
I'm an average man there's nothing special 'bout me
But I'm content
with my life there's not much that I need
I've got a wonderful wife and
a wonderful home
But above all else I've found someone who calls me His
own
Chorus 1:
He's the reason I laugh and the reason I cry
He's the
reason I have what it takes to get by
He's the reason I live and the
reason I died
He's the reason for the hope that I have right here
inside
Na na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na na
As I walk through this world I keep my head up high
But many people
see me, it keeps them wondering why
In a world full of pain they
wonder how I can smile
They don't know that I'm only visiting here for
a little while
Repeat Chorus 1
Na na na na na na (let me tell you 'bout the reason)
Na na na na na
na (He's the reason in my life)
Na na na na na na na na na na na na
(He's the reason for the hope that I keep here inside)
So I'm living at ease, in fact I'm living carefree
Not that I don't
have doubts, it's just that I've got real peace
So I hope you can see
it's made a change in my life
All because I know the one that they call
Jesus Christ
Chorus 2:
He's the reason I laugh (He's the reason I laugh) and the
reason I cry (and the reason I cry)
He's the reason I have what it
takes to get by (He's the reason that I get by)
He's the reason I live
(He's the reason I live) and the reason I died (and I die)
He's the
reason for the hope that I keep right here inside (He's the reason, all of
the hope in me)
Bridge:
You don't have to be worried at all (don't have to be
worried)
Stop looking for the hammer to fall
You can leave it behind
if you're calling on Him (call on Jesus)
It's amazing what the change
will bring
When you learn that death has no sting (death has no
sting)
And your heart has been delivered from every sin
Repeat Chorus 1
Na na na na na na, na na na na na na, na na na na na na na na na na na na (x8 with stepouts)
Scriptural Reference:
"'Now my heart is troubled, and what shall I say? `Father, save me from this hour'? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name!' Then a voice came from heaven, 'I have glorified it, and will glorify it again.'" John 12:27-28

Lyrics:
Prime time, when time is no more
There's a time where we're going, we've been knowing
After all of
these years (all these years)
When the music we're making, will have
taken
Away all these tears
In that heavenly place, there'll be a
smile on the face
Of everyone (everyone)
There'll be a big
celebration, sweet jubilation
There with the Son
No time to lose or
be out of time
Everything there will be prime
Chorus 1:
I'm waiting for the prime time
Moving to the other
shore
We're heading for the prime time
Singing there
forevermore
There'll be nothing like the prime time
That's what
we've been living for
Prime time
When time is no more
There's a home destination, a sweet adoration
Of the Lord on His
throne (On His throne)
Where the pain turns to laughter, happy
thereafter
And we're never alone
In that place full of light, secure
in all that is right
And ever will be (ever be)
There'll be no
stress and no sorrow, a joyful tomorrow
And fully set free
No time
to waste or to be out of line
He's making everything prime
Repeat Chorus
Wherever He is, I know that life will be fine (it will be
fine)
'Cause He's made a place (He's made a place)
Not second best,
it will be prime
Chorus 2:
I'm waiting for the prime time (heading for the prime
time)
Moving to the other shore (moving to the other shore)
I'm
heading for the prime time (prime time)
Singing there
forevermore
There'll be nothing like the prime time (we've been living
for the prime time)
That's what we've been living for (living
for)
Prime time (prime time, prime time)
When time is no more
Repeat Chorus 2
I'm waiting for the prime time (prime time, prime time)
When time is
no more

Lyrics:
A world of evil, whole course on fire!
On fire
On fire
A small spark, course on fire
On fire
A
small spark, course on fire
So many animals, birds of the air, and the fish in the sea
We have
been able to bring them all under control
Out of the mouth we hear
praising and cursing, and this shouldn't be
Funny we're not as
successful in guiding our souls
Though it's small, the tongue has
power, more than you know
Like a rudder pilots where you go
We
submit to restless evil, full knowing well
It's poisonous and set on
fire by hell
Chorus 1:
Though it's a spark (a small spark)
Sets it on fire
(course on fire)
Though it's a spark (a small spark)
Sets it on fire
(course on fire)
Speaking before we are thinking, so careless with all that we
say
Making remarks when we fail to consider the reason
We often
react without knowin' the facts, and our tongues won't obey
Bein'
corrupted with words that are full of the poison
Knowing better we
should be not be down in the mire
Course directed by the burning
fire
Since the time we learn to talk, we're never the same
Full of
power that we cannot tame (tame)
Chorus 2:
Though it's a spark (a small spark) (a world of
evil)
Sets it on fire (course on fire) (whole course on fire)
Though
it's a spark (a small spark) (a world of evil)
Sets it on fire (course
on fire) (whole course on fire)
Repeat Chorus 2
Don't be feelin' helpless (helpless), strugglin' all alone (all
alone)
He will help us overcome this sin (sin, sin)
Now you should
remember (remember) you are not your own (not your own)
Claim a victory
through our precious Friend
Through our precious Friend
A small spark
Course on fire
A world of evil (A small
spark)
Whole course on fire (Course on fire)
Though it's a spark (A
small spark) (A world of evil)
Sets it on fire (Course on fire) (Whole
course on fire)
Repeat Chorus 2 (x4)
Scriptural Reference:
"When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell. All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and creatures of the sea are being tamed and have been tamed by man, but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison." James 3:3-8

Lyrics:
Another day the wheels are turning
Another day to start anew
My
heart is set on givin' everything to you (yeah)
Gaining ground with the things I'm learning
Changing things that are
overdue
Within the maze of the world's abuse
A closer friend you could never
choose
I claim the love that's coming from above
Chorus:
I'm a slave to the Son, saved by the One
Price paid by
the Savior
I'm a slave to the Son, born to become
Guilty, bound but
then set free
I'm a slave to the Son (slave to the Son), a man overcome
(man overcome)
To be found within His favor
No I'm never going back
again
Slave to the Son
Slave to the Son (the Son, the Son, the Son)
There is a war (war), it's all around you
Your deadly will (your
will) is not your own
One side will take your life
The other takes
you home
Make your choice while the day is burning (got to choose)
He'll
split the sky when it's said and done
Among the flames of the world's abuse
A closer friend you could
never choose
I claim the love that's coming from above
Repeat Chorus (with extended echoes)
Bridge:
I know the searching that you're going through
What is
the reason life is holding for you
Your greatest victory is already
won
So strive to be just a slave to the Son
I'm a slave (slave), just a slave (slave)
I'm a slave to the Son
Scriptural Reference:
"Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to
it forever." John 8:35

Lyrics:
There's a secret sin that you live with
And it's tearing you
apart
You've prayed and prayed but now you're ashamed
To ask God to
cleanse your heart
But even though you've fallen again
When you
kneel before Him
Chorus:
It's only the first time
He's forgotten the last
time
Oh, the moment you pray His grace takes away
The stain of your
sin (sin)
Just know that in God's eyes
(That) it's only the first
time
He's already there to hear your prayer (there to hear your
prayer)
And forgive you again (forgive you again)
When the Savior says we must forgive
Time and time again (time and
time again)
Then how much more (how much more) can our Lord (can our
Lord)
Forgive us when we sin
His love is so strong so wide and so
deep (oh, it's so strong, it's so deep)
He longs for us to believe
Repeat Chorus
He's already there to hear your prayer (there to hear your
prayer)
And forgive you again

Lyrics:
Nobody else but Jesus
Nobody else will do
Of all the great people who have lived before (lived before)
There's
not another person who has loved us more
To make us and take underneath
His wings (neath His wings)
Now my heart can really sing (sing)
His
pattern for living is perfect and easy to see (it's for me)
So I now
have to follow and find out how much I can be (how much I can be)
Chorus:
I want to be like Him (His great example is the one I
see)
Got to be like Him (Nobody else is good enough for me)
I want
to be like Him (Never will be perfect even though I try)
Got to be like
Him (Gonna keep working to the day I die)
Of all the styles that are living here today (here today)
No not a
single one can show a better way (way)
The life of love and caring for
your fellow man (part of His)
Is part of His eternal plan (plan)
And His selfless devotion within your life can be real
Why not try
it and live it and then you'll know how I feel (you'll know how I

Lyrics:
Helping souls
Feeding the hungry
Taking care of those in
need
Faithful works
Did you ever consider
The reason behind all
of these?
Do we give them bread
Just to take care of their hunger?
Do we
help the poor
Just because it is good?
Are the faithful
works
Just to make us feel better?
What's the bottom line?
Chorus:
Pleasing Him, pleasing Him
We make that our goal
A
greater aim has no one
Nor has there ever been
So we make it our
goal to please Him
Watching your tongue
Trying to be selfless
Raisin' children in
the light
Keeping your word
Loving your neighbor
Why should we be
living right?
Do we keep our words pure
To keep down the pollution?
Live the
golden rule
'Cause it's nice to do?
Are we telling the truth
For
the feeling it gives us?
What's the reason for it all?
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Why does your heart
Seem to be troubled?
Lost within a
world of aims
We should all turn back
To our solid foundation
How
good and simple it remains
In the church
Most the time on time
Tryin' to keep our list of
goals
Tellin' the lost
But are they perceivin'
The motivation in
our souls?
Do we go to the church
So nobody will call us?
Are we sharing our
faith
'Cause it's what we're told?
Do we know for
ourselves
Without any reservation
What's the purpose that we
hold?
What is the purpose that we hold?
Repeat Chorus
So we make it our goal to please Him
Pleasing Him
Make it our
goal to please Him
We make it our goal
We make it our goal
Make
it our goal
Pleasing Him
Scriptural Reference:
"So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it." 2 Corinthians 5:9

Lyrics:
Time to run the race
Now we realize
There's no turning
back
Time to win the prize
Pressing on towards the mark
Light the
flame with one small spark
Run the race, stay the course
Aiming for the goal
That's beyond
what you see here
Keep the faith, hold it high
Don't you be confused
by a world of hate and fear
Since you know deep within
That the love
you want
Can be yours if you persevere
Overcome all the
doubt
That can cloud your mind
And you'll find it's very clear
(clear)
Though the pace is fast
And the journey's long
Though the heart
be faint
We will carry on
Breathing hard, we bear the
pain
Counting all our loss as gain
We will not give up
'Til the race is won
We won't fall
away
Now that we've begun
No reward that we can hold
Striving for
a crown of gold

I'll bloom for you my darling wife (my hand)
So come

Lyrics:
Everybody amen
Everybody amen
Everybody a-amen
Everybody
amen
Everybody yeah-yeah
Everybody say amen (everybody)
When I ask you what's been goin' on
Will you tell me that you're
learnin' to get along
Amen
Amen
Do you treat each other like the
Lord
Can you tell me that you're living in one
accord
Amen
Amen
Bridge 1:
Are you willfully trying to work things out
Are you
showing what you're inner nature's all about?
Do you want to make
progress in showing love?
Just like the kind that comes from above
(Amen)
When I ask you 'bout the joy you've found
Are you telling everybody
you're heavenbound
Amen
Amen
Can they see the Father in your
eyes
Can the Spirit in your presence they realize
Amen
Amen
Bridge 2:
Are you actively trying to follow Him
Are you showing
them the only way life can begin?
If you haven't been sharing then let
it shine
'Cause don't you think it's just about time (prime time)
(Interlude with "Amen")
Repeat Bridge 1
Repeat Verse 1
(Interlude with "Amen")

Lyrics:
Chorus (with echo):
Fallen walls and open doors
We are not bound
anymore
We must follow when He calls
Through open doors and fallen
walls
Lord give me the courage to listen when You're speaking (when You're
speaking)
So I can be ready (so I can be ready) to practice what I'm
preaching
The world is changing (changing, changing, the world is
changing) in ways that we've been hoping
The walls are falling
(falling, falling), and doors keep flying open
Repeat Chorus
The people are searching (searchin', searchin'), and willing to take
chances
We've got to be serving (we've got to be serving), it's time to
take advances (we're making advances)
The need is urgent and time is of
the essence
Let's take them the Gospel (we'll take 'em the Gospel) so
they can know His presence (presence, they can know His presence)
Repeat Chorus
Fallen walls...
Repeat Chorus (with stepouts)

Lyrics:
He's in the neighborhood
Neighborhood
Have you heard of the woman
With the issue of blood?
She tried
every cure
She could think of
Can you imagine the hope that she
found
When a neighbor came around
And said, "You'll never
guess
Who's walking down the street"
Chorus:
Jesus is in the neighborhood (He's in the neighborhood, He's
in the neighborhood)
Performing miracles and doing good
(miracles)
He's got the kind of power
That makes people
whole
Now, that's the kind of man
That you really ought to
know
Jesus is in the neighborhood (He's in the neighborhood)
Do you remember Zacchaeus?
The wee little man
He climbed up in a
tree
To get a glimpse of the Master first hand
All that he knew was
hate and greed
All he felt was an aching need
Can you see his
face?
When someone in the crowd cried out
Repeat Chorus
Times are certainly changin'
And that's for sure
My God is the
very same
Yesterday, and today and forevermore
If you have a need in
your life
Got a demon you need to fight
Take courage in the
words
That you are about to hear
Listen to me...
Jesus is in the neighborhood (Jesus is in the
neighborhood)
Performing miracles and doing good
He's got the kind
of power
That makes you whole
A power that you really should
know
Jesus is in the neighborhood (He's in the neighborhood, He's in the
neighborhood)
Performing miracles and doing good (miracles)
Yes,
He's doing good
He's got the kind of power
That makes people
whole
The compassionate God
That you really ought to know
Jesus
is in the neighborhood (He's in the neighborhood) (Yes, He is)
Jesus is
in the neighborhood (He's in the neighborhood) (performing miracles and
doing good)
Jesus is in the neighborhood (He's in the
neighborhood)
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, He's in the neighborhood
Scriptural Reference:
"A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. He wanted to see who Jesus was, but being a short man he could not, because of the crowd. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way. When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, 'Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today.'" Luke 19:2-5

Lyrics:
I belong to You
And I'll do what You want me to
You can show the
way
That I will follow every day
All my life I needed
A friend to see me through
But I'll not have
to worry
Now that I belong to You
Every morn I wake
And every breath of air I take
Reminds me of
the time
That You became a friend of mine
All my dreams and visions
Inspiration too
Are given to me
gladly
Now that I belong to You
Interlude:
(Every morn I wake)
(All my visions)
(Let it
be)
There will come a day (there will come a day)
When I'll have to pass
away (when I will have to pass away)
Into a world of bliss
I hope it
will be like this (you can make me happy)
You can make me happy
In everything You do (I belong to you)
But
I'll not have to worry (worry)
Now that I belong to You
I'll be Yours forever
Now that I belong to You

Lyrics:
Praise Him when the way is easy
Praise Him when the path is
hard
Praise Him when the future's hazy
Praise Him when your hopes
are marred
Praise Him in the hour of trouble
Praise Him when your way is
dim
In your time of deepest sorrow
Let your praises rise to Him
Praise Him in the bitter conflict
Praise Him in your time of
peace
Praise Him morning, noon, and evening
Never let your praises
cease
Praise will lift your heavy burden
Turn your weakness into
power
Give you strength for every conflict
Lifts you in your
troubled hour
Chorus 1:
For He alone is truly worthy
Of your sacrifice of
praise
Praise can turn your night of darkness
Into bright triumphant
days
Praise could never be too often
Praise could never be too
strong
Praise your heart can only soften
When you praise you can't
go wrong
Praise will keep you always near Him
So praise Him everywhere you
go
He will bathe you in His glory
When you let your praises flow
Chorus 2:
For He alone is truly worthy (your sacrifice of
praise)
Of your sacrifice of praise (got to praise Him)
Praise can
turn your night of darkness (bright triumphant days)
Into bright
triumphant days
When you learn the secret, you'll be truly blessed (learn the secret of
His blessing)
That His praise will always keep you at your best (praise
will keep you at your best)
It drives out the worries, restores
effectiveness
Lifts you up and makes you whole
Brings you close to
your goal
So He can fill your soul with perfect rest
Repeat Chorus 2
(Bright triumphant, learn the secret of His blessing)
(Praise Him,
the Father) Bright triumphant days!
(Bright triumphant days will
follow) Only when you pray

"Praise the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute, praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD." Psalm 150:1-6

Lyrics:
"Blessed is the man who doesn't fall away
Because of Me"
As he sat there in that prison cell, he knew just how it came
about
And he knew his life was over and he was never comin' out
But
there was just one thing he had to know, he had to make a final plea
So
he sent his friends to ask the Lord if he was who He claimed to be
Chorus 1:
"Go tell John
That the lame have learned to
walk
That the poor can hear the word of God and the deaf can hear me
talk
Go tell John
That the blind can finally see, oh and
Blessed
is the man who doesn't fall away because of me"
He was born so he could tell the world that the Kingdom was at
hand
And that the Christ would soon come after Him to complete the
Father's plan
And there was nothing else he wanted more than to see
this Kingdom grow
It was the only thing that mattered, it was all he
had to know
Chorus 2:
"So go tell John (Go tell John)
That the lame have
learned to walk (Deaf can hear me talk)
That the poor can hear the word
of God and the deaf can hear me talk
Go tell John (Go tell John) (Go
tell John)
That the blind can finally see, oh and
Blessed is the man
who doesn't fall away (blessed is the man who doesn't fall) because of
me"
Well he gave his life to testify that Jesus was the Son (Jesus was the
Son)
He only wanted now to know that it was a good thing he had done
(good thing he had done)
Soon he would be murdered by a wicked, evil
man
And I'm sure the words of Jesus helped him understand
Repeat Chorus 2
Oh and blessed is the man who doesn't fall away (blessed is the man who doesn't fall) because of me
Bridge:
"Go tell John (go tell John)
That the dead are raised
again (dead are raised again)
Go tell John, tell John (go tell
John)
That the lepers now are cleansed (the lepers now are
cleansed)
Go tell John (go tell John)
That the path he chose was
right (path he chose was right)
Go tell John (go tell John)
Go and
tell him that I truly am the light"
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Bridge
Scriptural Reference:
"When John heard in prison what Christ was doing, he sent his disciples to ask Him, 'Are you the one who was to come, or should we expect someone else?' Jesus replied, 'Go back and report to John what you hear and see: The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is preached to the poor. Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account of me.'" Matthew 11:2-6
