Lyrics:
There are more than a million things to bow to and to idol
A world
that needs you more today to worship and to follow
I lean on You my
Firm Foundation through life's many struggles
Build me up and fill my
cup and make me strong for tomorrow
Chorus:
You're my Living Water poured into my soul (poured into my
soul)
You're the Righteous and Holy One whose blood has made me whole
(has made me whole)
You're the Constant Companion (that I love) that I
love and follow
You're my Living Water my cup overflows
Satan tries to blind me by deception and confusion
The tricks he
plays and his evil ways can hurt me when I've fallen
I turn to You in
silent prayer for strength to overcome
With Your grace and with Your
love together we have won
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Scriptural Reference:
"The Samaritan woman said to him, 'You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?' (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.) Jesus answered her, 'If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.' 'Sir,' the woman said, 'you have nothing to draw with and the well is deep. Where can you get this living water? Are you greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well and drank from it himself, as did also his sons and his flocks and herds?' Jesus answered, 'Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.'" John 4:9-14

Lyrics:
Well come and listen in to a radio station
Where the mighty hosts of
heaven sing
Turn your radio on (turn your radio), turn your radio on
(turn your radio on)
If you want to feel those good
vibrations
Coming from the joy that His love can bring
Turn your
radio on (turn your radio on), turn your radio on (turn your radio on)
Chorus:
Turn your radio on (oh yes, turn your radio on), and listen
to the music in the air
Turn your radio on (oh yes, turn your radio
on), Heaven's glory share (glory, glory share)
Turn your lights down
low (oh yes, turn your lights down low), and listen to the Master's
radio
Get in touch with God (get in touch with God), turn your radio on
(turn your radio on)
Well don't you know that everybody is a radio receiver
All you gotta
do is listen for the call
Turn your radio on (turn your radio), turn
your radio on (turn your radio on)
If you listen in you will be a
believer
Leaning on the Truth that will never fall
Get in touch with
God (get in touch with God), turn your radio on (turn your radio on)
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Turn your lights down low and listen to the Master's radio
Get in
touch with God (get in touch with God), turn your radio on (turn your
radio on)
Get in touch with God (get in touch with God), turn your
radio on (turn your radio on)

Author's Note: "To my dearest friend Shawna: Thank you for sharing the Lord with me. May you and Roi Leigh always enjoy sitting at His feet."
Lyrics:
Chorus 1:
Will you come and share the Lord with me
And together
we will sit at His feet
Our hearts we will give so that in Him we'll
live
And praise the Lord for all eternity
Come and share the Lord
with me
Chorus 2:
Will you come (will you come) and share the Lord with me
(share the Lord with me)
And together (and together) we will sit at His
feet (sit at His feet)
Our hearts we will give so that in Him we'll
live (we will live)
And praise the Lord for all eternity
Come and
share the Lord with me
There is a God in heaven and He watches over me
Countless blessings
in my life are a part of what has molded me
I want to share what He did
for you when He died upon the tree
He sacrificed His life for you and
me
Repeat Chorus 2
We are people sinning every day and it brings me to my knees
If we
listen with our hearts God will tell us what He wants us to be
I pray
for wisdom of what to say to those who need to hear
About Your love,
please help my words be clear
Repeat Chorus 2
And we will praise the Lord for all eternity
Come and share the Lord
with me
Scriptural Reference:
"But we ought always to thank God for you, brothers loved by the Lord, because from the beginning God chose you to be saved through the sanctifying work of the Spirit and through belief in the truth. He called you to this through our gospel, that you might share in the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ." 2 Thessalonians 2:13-14

Lead: Steve Tarnowski
Lyrics:
It's about as useless as a screen door on a submarine
Faith without
works baby, it just ain't happenin'
One is your left hand one is your
right
It'll take two strong arms to hold on tight
Some folks cut off
their nose just to spite their face
I think you need some works to show
for your alleged faith
Well there's a difference you know
'Tween having faith and playing
make believe
One will make you grow
The other one just make you
sleep
Talk about it...
But I really think you oughta to take a leap
off of the ship
Before you claim to walk on water
Faith without
works is like a song you can't sing
It's about as useless as a screen
door on a submarine
Faith comes from God from every word that He breathes
He lets you
take it to your heart so you can give it hands and feet
It's gotta be
active if it's gonna be alive
You've got to put it into practice,
otherwise
It's about as useless as a screen door on a
submarine
Faith without works baby, it just ain't happening
One is
your right hand one is your left
It's your light your guide your life
and your breath
Faith without works is like a song you can't
sing
It's about as useless as a screen door on a submarine
Faith
without works is like a song you can't sing
It's about as useless as a
screen door on a submarine
Scriptural Reference:
"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you
will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs
from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad
tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad
tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good
fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you
will recognize them." Matthew 7:15-20
"What good is it, my
brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such
faith save him? Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and
daily food. If one of you says to him, 'Go, I wish you well; keep
warm and well fed,' but does nothing about his physical needs, what good
is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by
action, is dead. But someone will say, 'You have faith; I have
deeds.' Show me your faith without deeds, and I will show you my
faith by what I do. You believe that there is one God.
Good! Even the demons believe that–and shudder. You foolish
man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? Was
not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he
offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his faith and his
actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he
did. And the scripture was fulfilled that says, 'Abraham believed
God, and it was credited to him as righteousness,' and he was called God's
friend. You see that a person is justified by what he does and not
by faith alone. In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute
considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies
and sent them off in a different direction? As the body without the
spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead." James 2:14-26

Lyrics:
As I looked into the mirror
I burned with shame at the face I
saw
Etched with mem'ries of a wasted life
Shattered dreams wounded
and raw
As my despair came crashing over me
I saw His face telling
me to believe
Chorus 1:
I was created in His image
Fashioned by Him to be like
Him
I was created in His image
His holy example is what I can
be
I was created in His image
His beauty and power you should see in
me
I was created, created to be like Him
Bridge:
The power of darkness has a hold on me
I wanna let go I
want to believe
That there's a strength beyond what I can see
A
meaning and purpose He can see in me
I know the power of darkness had a
hold on me
I have to let go I have to believe
That there's a
strength beyond what I can see
A meaning and purpose He believes in
me
And so I bow and to You my life I bring
I lift my hands and I own
You as my King
Chorus 2:
I was created in Your image
Fashioned by You to be like
You
I was created in Your image
Your holy example is what I will
be
I was created in Your image
Your beauty and power they will see
in me
I was created, created to be like You
Repeat Chorus 2
I was created to be devoted unto You
I was created - created to
be like You
Scriptural Reference:
"So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created
him; male and female he created them." Genesis 1:27
"But you are a
chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to
God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of
darkness into his wonderful light." 1 Peter 2:9

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:8-11

Lyrics:
The nails in Your hands, the nails in Your feet
They tell me how
much You love me
The thorns on Your brow, they tell me how
You bore
so much pain to love me
When the heavens pass away
All Your scars
will still remain
And forever they will say how much You love me
And
I want to say

Forever my heart (and my heart)
Forever my
life is yours (my life is yours forever)
Repeat Chorus 2
The nails in Your hands, the nails in Your feet
They tell me how
much You love me
Scriptural Reference:
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that
whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John
3:16
"Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the
disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, 'We have
seen the Lord!' But he said to them, 'Unless I see the nail marks in his
hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his
side, I will not believe it.' A week later his disciples were in the house
again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came
and stood among them and said, 'Peace be with you!' Then he said to
Thomas, 'Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put
it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.' Thomas said to him, 'My Lord
and my God!'" John 20:24-28

whole heaven will be handed over to the saints, the people of the Most

Lyrics:
Oh Lord you search me and know me
You know when I sit and when I
rise
You discern my going out and my lying down
You are familiar
with all my ways
Chorus:
Where can I go from Your spirit
Where can I flee from
Your presence Lord
Whom shall I fear within this world
Knowing
You're all about me
Knowing You're always there
Dear Lord You knit me together
You knew me in my mother's
womb
You have laid Your hand upon me
This is too great for me to
understand
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
If I go up to the heavens You are there (You are
there)
If I make my bed in the depths You are there
If I rise on the
wings of the dawn
If I settle the far side of the sea
Even there
Your hand will guide me
Your right hand will hold me fast
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Knowing your always there
Knowing your always there (always
there)
Scriptural Reference:
"O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely, O Lord. You hem me in-behind and before you have laid your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast." Psalm 139:1-10

Chorus:
New, new wine
The kind that makes you smile all the
time
I heard about it just a little while ago
And ever since I did I
just can't let this happy feelin' go
New, new wine
The kind that
makes you smile all the time
Pardon my funny grin I'm just a new
wineskin
Holding new, new wine
Now it's not from moonshine, but it comes from Sonshine
Straight
from Heaven above
It won't make you lazy or make your mind crazy
Or
make you cry over some long gone lost love
Repeat Chorus
Now money can't buy it but once you try it
You'll have a lifetime
supply
The Savior will give it through His Holy Spirit
Joy like a
river makes you feel so fine
Repeat Chorus
Pardon if I have to laugh
I've traded them old grapes o'
wrath
For new, new wine
Scriptural Reference:
"And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins." Luke 5:37-38

Lyrics:
Chorus 1:
There's a hole in the world tonight
There's a cloud of
fear and sorrow
There's a hole in the world tonight
Don't let there
be a hole in the world tomorrow
They say that anger is just love disappointed
They say that love is
just a state of mind
But all this fightin' over who will
be anointed
Oh how can people be so blind
Repeat Chorus 1
Oh they tell me there's a place over yonder
Cool water running
through the burning sand
Until we learn to love one another
We will
never reach the Promised Land
Repeat Chorus 1
Repeat Chorus 1 and Verse 1 (together)
Chorus 2:
There's a hole in the world tonight (hold in the
world)
There's a cloud of fear and sorrow (fear and sorrow)
There's
a hole in the world tonight
Don't let there be a hole in the world
tomorrow
Chorus 3:
There's a hole in the world tonight (there's a hole,
there's a hole in the world)
There's a cloud of fear and sorrow (cloud

There's a hole in the world tonight (there's a
hole)
Don't let there be a hole in the world tomorrow (don't let there
be a hole)

There's a hole in the world tonight (hey)
There's a

Don't let there be a hole in the

Chorus:
Well I'm gonna walk right outta this valley
Lift my hands
and praise the Lord
Said I ain't a-gonna let old Satan get me down down
down
Why should I sit here till I die
Heaven's a-waitin' up a little
bit higher
I'm gonna walk out of this valley with my Lord
Well now the Lord let down a hedge on Job to try him
Took all of his
children and everything that he owned
But now old Job didn't sit down
and cry
No he lifted his head up high
Walked out of that valley
thank God with a whole lot more
Repeat Chorus
Well now that road that we've gotta travel to that City
It won't
always be on the mountain top (mountain top)
But that valley we've got
to face
God said he's gonna give us the grace
To come up on that
hill where the sun is shining bright
