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:
"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

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:
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:
(Say)
(What will He say?)
After all has been done
After all has been said
What will they be
sayin' after you're dead?
What will they say?
When you come to the edge
And your life has run out
What will
they be sayin' your life was about?
What will they say?
What will

Will they say Jesus was your holy example (your holy
example)?
And that you followed Him best that you could (followed Him
best that you could)?

After all that you've learned
After all that you know (tell me what
you'd do)
Tell me what you'd give in exchange for your soul
What
would you give?
What would you give?
After all has been done
After all has been said
What will they be
sayin' after I'm dead?
What will they say?

Lyrics:
I've ventured in my mind
The way that it might be
So when my pain
becomes too great
This is what you'll see
My flesh will lose the
battle
But Christ has won the war
And the brightness of eternal
love
Will pull me through the door
Chorus 1:
I want to die just a moment
Before the final horn is
blown
So the Lord and I can come back
And I can take you home
I
want to die just a moment
Before the final horn is blown
So the Lord
and I can come right back
And I can take you home
On the pathway to my mansion (pathway face-to-face)
I'll meet Him
face to face (stand before)
With saucer eyes, I'll stand before
The
Savior of the race (Savior of the race)
He'll gently turn me 'round
about (round about)
And with a knowing grin (death dies
today)
"Death dies today," is what He'll say
"Just like I conqured
sin
Put your arm around my shoulders (arm around my shoulder)
And
I'll take you for a ride (for off)
For it's off to earth we're heading
now
To get our lovely brides
Tell your wife that she's the last one
(last one)
Who will ever have to cry (ever have to cry)
From loving
a precious loved one (so afraid to die)
Who was so afraid to die
Chorus 2:
I want to die just a moment (die just before)
Before
the final horn is blown (so the Lord and I can come back)
So the Lord
and I can come back (I can take you home)
And I can take you home (take
you home)
I want to die just a moment (die just before)
Before the
final horn is blown (so the Lord and I can come back)
So the Lord and I
can come right back
And I can take you home (I can take you home)
Surprise will wash away your night (wash away your night)
And flood
it into day
You'll laugh and cry and run for me (laugh and run for
me)
And this is what I'll say (this is what I'll say)
"As the
flowers grow in April, (rain renews the land)
When rain renews the land
(bloom for you)
I'll bloom for you my darling wife (my hand)
So come
and take my hand (come and take my hand)"
Repeat Chorus 2
Take you home (Lord and I will come right back)
Take you home (take
you home)
Take you home (come and take you home)
Take you home!

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
feel)
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Nobody else but Jesus, nobody else will do (nobody else will
do)
Nobody else but the Savior can ever see me through
For He's
holding me and guiding me along this narrow way
Oh I want to learn my
Master's way

Oh I want to be like Him
