Lyrics:

Spoken Vocal:
Billions and billions of years ago… (Boom!)

Maniac, maniac
Maniac, maniac

In the beginning
God created
All the heavens
And the Earth
In the beginning
God created
All the heavens
And the Earth

Design but no Designer
Creation no Creator
Life without a Giver
Sin but no one to deliver, deliver, deliver

Lies and fabrication
Maniac deception (maniac, maniac)
Rise up and discover (discover)
Wise up and remember

Chorus:
Evilution, evilution
What a crazy "solution"
Drawing all the wrong conclusions
Evilution, evilution, yeah

I am not a vegetable
I'm not a big zucchini
I'm not some kind of animal
I'm not some funky monkey
I am not a mineral
I'm not a piece of copper
This may sound amazing
But I'm a child of God the Father

Repeat Chorus

I am the creation
Of Divine imagination (hallelujah)
I know my origination
I know my destination, destination

Pagan explanation
No God and no creation
They say God is just a figment
Of wild imaginations

I am not a genius (E = MC^2)
But I think that it is obvious
We all need God to keep us
And we're all needin' Jesus, yeah

Repeat Chorus

"Billions and billions of years ago" my soul was non-existent (billions and billions of years ago my soul was non-existant)
They say I came to be by a cosmic coincidence
Once I was an amoeba swimming in the foam
I climbed out of the ocean to look the country ova'
I turned into a lizard and moved from here to there
Somehow became a horse with long and shaggy hair
One day I started climbing for reasons unknown to you
Possibly for exercise or to get a better view
Then a wild thing happened - it's crazy but it's true
My hooves turned into hands and my ears began to move
Well then I was a monkey swinging from the trees
But now I am a professor with a Ph.D.

Repeat Chorus

In the beginning
God created
All the heavens
And the Earth
In the beginning
God created

Scriptural Reference:

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1

T.L.O.T.L.

Words and music: Gary Miller © 1994 Anthony K. Music (ASCAP)
Lead: Tasha Hatcher

Lyrics:

It's not a physical birth that makes a person special
Millions of people born each day
It's not a national worth, it's not a matter racial
The love of the Lord and walking in His ways
It's the love of the Lord and walking in His ways

It's not a natural thing to make the right decisions
Education is not enough
It takes the Word of the Lord to give a person wisdom
The love of the Lord and walking in His ways
The love of the Lord and walking in His ways

Chorus:
(We're a chosen gener-) We're a chosen
Generation (-ation)
We're of royal blood
The blood of Jesus the Son (Jesus Christ, Son of God)
We are precious (we are)
Because He's gracious (precious)
We are one of a kind (by the grace of God)
Just like the Holy One (Holy One)

It's not the style of our dress that makes us so impressive
Houses and cars don't count at all
It is the purified heart that makes us all progressive
The love of the Lord and walking in His ways
It's the love of the Lord and walking in His ways

Repeat Chorus

No love is greater than
God's love is greater than
All love is greater through Him
God's ways are greater than
Our ways are greater when
His ways are greater in us

It's not religions and rites that make a man perfected
They nailed the Savior to the cross
We need a change in our heart, a life that's resurrected
The love of the Lord and walking in His Ways
It's the love of the Lord and walking in His Ways

Repeat Chorus

Scriptural Reference:

"But be very careful to keep the commandment and the law that Moses the servant of the Lord gave you: to love the Lord your God, to walk in all his ways, to obey his commands, to hold fast to him and to serve him with all your heart and all your soul." Joshua 22:5

Love Each Other

Words and music: Gary Miller © 1994 Anthony K. Music (ASCAP)
Lead: Ellie Miller

Lyrics:

Love when it's hard to be loving
The world is a lovelier place
Be a friend when it's hard to be friendly
The world wears a friendlier face

Be the spark that ignites the love fires
Be the light shining bright
Oh, be the first to provide an example
Be true, pure and faithful

Chorus 1:
Live like Jesus, serve each other (love each other, love each other, love each other, love each other)
They believe us when they see us (love each other, love each other, love each other, love each other)
Love each other (let them see the love that you have), love each other (caring and sharing and)

Care when you don't feel like caring
The world starts to show that it's caring
And share when you don't feel like sharing
The world opens up and starts sharing

Be the spark (be the spark) that ignites the love fires
Be the light (be the light) shining bright
Be the first (be the first) to provide an example
Be true, pure and faithful

Chorus 2:
Live like Jesus and serve each other (love each other, love each other, love each other, love each other)
Lovin' and lovin' and love one another
They believe us when they see what we're doing (love each other, love each other, love each other, love each other)
We're lovin' and lovin' and lovin' each other
Love each other, love each other

Love will save the world (love is a power from God, saving power for man)
Love will change the world

Love (love) when it's hard to be loving
The world is a lovelier place
Be a friend (friend) when it's hard to be friendly
The world wears a friendlier face

Love (when you love), really love (really love) each other

Scriptural Reference:

"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you." John 15:12

When He was a young man
His task was in hand
To bring illumination
Spread love throughout the land (young man, young man)

Repeat Chorus 1

I believe the truth (He's the Way, He's the Truth, He's the Life, I know it)

There is no reason for to be so uptight
With all the wrong there's still plenty of right
God is our Father and He knows what to do
One thing's for certain He cares about you

He'll lift your heart and open your eyes
He knows us, He loves us (He knows us and He loves us)

There is no reason to be bent out of shape
One day in heaven will be worth the wait
Play in the Sonshine and dance in the Reign
Whatever season His love is the same

Lead: Kimberly Lancaster

Lyrics:

Sailing (I'll never give up) sailing, sailing (Sailing the ship upon the sea)
Sailing (I'll never give up) sailing, sailing (Sailing the ship upon the sea)
(I'll never give up)

Chorus:
I'm sailing my ships upon God's sea
And I'll never get lost for He will guide me
I've set a course for eternity
And I'm sailing my ships upon God's sea
Yes I'm sailing my ships upon God's sea

Relationships that sail in the world (we're sailing, our ships our sailing)
Can be beaten, battered, broken, and torn (we're sailing, our ships our sailing)
But if you sail those ships in the Lord (we're sailing, our ships our sailing)
They'll make it through the toughest storm (we're sailing, our ships our sailing)
Friendships they never fail
For friends in God will always sail
Sail upon God's sea forevermore
Sailing with the Lord

Repeat Chorus

Spoken Vocal:
Land Ho!
Alright me mateys (?)
Storm comin' lads
Down the hatch
Full speed ahead

Hardships come and they go
And can take the wind right out of your sail
But if He sets your course, He will show
How the Spirit's guidance will prevail
Lordship - He is my Lord
My captain, and the light of this world
He is the one who can guide me
He'll guide my way with me every day

Repeat Chorus

Repeat Chorus (with stepouts)

Yes I'm sailing my ships upon God's sea

Scriptural Reference:

All Kinds of Fishes

Lyrics:

Chorus 1:
Sitting in my boat fishing in the sea
Putting out my net and oh so carefully
When it comes back, well what will it be?
All kinds of fishes when you're fishing in the sea

All kinds of fishes when you're fishing in the sea

Big school of dolphins splashing in the sun
They don't care much, they're just having fun
Over to the left a jellyfish in tow
Following the current wherever it may go

Catfish make you wait all day
Then he grabs the bait and tries to run away
Bringing in starfish really is a cinch
'Cause he sits on the bottom
And doesn't move an inch

Repeat Chorus 1

Chorus 2:
Fisherman, I wanna be God's fisherman
If it weren't for all of those scales and fins
I'd say fish were just like men
Fisherman, I wanna be God's fisherman
Well the Lord told me to cast my net
Though I'm not finished yet
I am a fisherman!

If you're dealing with a shark, never pick a fight
They've got a big mouth eating everything in sight
A whale snacked Jonah, we know this is true
He may be a giant but his heart is big too

Crab is one nut that's tough to crack
With great big claws and thick-skinned back
Swordfish got a great big snout
But they never give up and they never give out

Repeat Chorus 2

Repeat Chorus 1 (x2)

All kinds of fishes when you're fishing in the sea

I am a fisherman!

Scriptural Reference:

"'Come, follow me,' Jesus said, 'and I will make you fishers of men.'" Matthew 4:19 and Mark 1:17
