Lyrics:
Chorus:
Roll the stone away, Roll the stone away
Lord God,
Almighty gonna roll the stone away
You promised you'd rise, Lord, on
the third day
Lord God, Almighty gonna roll that stone away
Repeat Chorus
Jesus was a man free from sin we know
Well He taught us that we reap
the very things we sow
He taught us parables of life we see
today
Hey, and on that third day He rolled that stone away
Repeat Chorus
They mocked Him and scourged Him and said his words were lies
But
Jesus had compassion with pity in His eyes
And I can't wait to see what
he has to say
Oh, how He felt when He rolled the stone away
Repeat Chorus
Well, He's coming back (hey) and that's one thing for sure
Well,
He's looking for the blameless, the righteous, and the pure
And I can't
wait to see what he has to say
Oh, how He felt when He rolled the stone
away
Repeat Chorus (x2)
I said Lord God, Almighty gonna roll that stone away
Scriptural Reference:
"On the third day, he will rise again." Luke 18:33
"and they asked
each other, 'Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?'
But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very
large, had been rolled away." Mark 16:3-4

Lyrics:
I wasn't living, wasn't forgiving
I was carrying my burdens all
alone
I was mistaken, always was taken
From the Holy Family, 'til I
made it back home
Chorus:
Now I won't let go of your caring hand
Leave behind the
pain, rise above
Now I won't let go, 'cause I've got so much to
gain
Now I won't let go of your love
I'm now confessin', I've learned my lesson
That the narrow way is
better than the rest
There's nothing dearer, nothing is clearer
And
I'll never leave your side when I'm put to the test
Repeat Chorus
Safe and warm when I'm by your side
I'll ever abide (by your
side)
Confident, it's so good to know
I'll never let go, never let
go
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Scriptural Reference:
"For me, to live is Christ and to die is gain." Philippians
1:21
"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and
broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and
only a few find it." Matthew 7:13-14

Lyrics:
I know a man who says we can know what God has planned for us all to
be
I know a man who says we can know what God has planned for us all to
be
Can you tell me His name? Jesus Christ!
Tell me what is his aim?
Give us life! Right!
I know a man who says we can know what God
has planned for us all to be
I know a man who died upon a tree that we might live eternally
I
know a man who died upon a tree that we might live eternally
Can you
tell me His name? Jesus Christ!
Tell me what is his aim? Give us life!
Right!
I know a man who died upon a tree that we might live
eternally
Can you tell me His name? Jesus Christ!
Tell me what is his aim?
Give us life! Right!
I know a man who died upon a tree that we
might live eternally
Scriptural Reference:
"The God of our fathers raised Jesus from the dead-- whom you had killed by hanging him on a tree. God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might give repentance and forgiveness of sins to Israel." Acts 5:30-31

Note that the verses are written in third person and the chorus is written in first person in part because, while the verses deal with a specific girl, we all need the Father that always cares.
Lyrics:
A little girl, she seems grown-up, who's only four
She's so confused
without a father anymore
And if you listen as she's on her knees to
pray
Each night so preciously her broken heart will say:
Chorus:
Where is my father? Has he gone away?
Why can't he always
be here to stay?
Where is my father? Does he still care?
I need a
father who's always there
He left their family and he headed for the coast
He left a time when
they needed him the most
The emptiness is even worse than if he'd
died
Caught in confusion you can hear this young girl cry
Repeat Chorus
He's never coming back, she wished that he would
It hurt's cause he
doesn't care
But she has another, a Father who's good
A Father who
will always be there
You are my Father; never go away
I know you'll always be here to
stay
You are my Father; I know you care
I need a Father who's always
there
You are my Father who's always there
Scriptural Reference:
"He is the father of us all." Romans 4:16

Lyrics:
You put a song in my soul when you made me
Chorus:
You put a song in my soul and wanna let it out
Your
Spirit in my life well it makes me want to shout
I'm moved to sing with
every beat of my heart
You put a song in my soul when you made me
People think I'm crazy when I'm praising your name
Well, I get so
excited 'cause there's nothing quite the same
The smile on my face
comes from the smile in my heart
You put a song in my soul when you
made me
Repeat Chorus
I will still be singing 'til the day that I die
And Lord I heard you
promise a home up in the sky
My joy is in your Spirit, and song in your
name
You put a song in my soul when you made me! (C'mon)
Song in my soul, I will lift my voice to you
Song in my soul, And
I'll give the praise to you
Song in my soul, I will give my life to
you
Song in my soul!
Song in my soul, I will lift my voice to
you
Song in my soul, And I'll give the praise to you
Song in my
soul, I will give my life to you
Song in my soul!
Repeat Chorus
Everybody needs to know that your love endures forever (love endures
forever)
Everybody praise His name, lift your voice in worship to the
Father (worship the Lord)

Lyrics:
Many criminals and one crime
One verdict, gonna do some time (and I
said)
One ruling to each one
One victim known as the Son Of...
Chorus:
God, Jesus, Emmanuel
Become a man just to pay my bail
(and I said)
Prince of Peace, and the King Of Kings
He taught me how
to stop, Stop Doin' Those Things
He came to me in my cage
He came in love in the midst of my rage
(and I said)
He opened up the door to my cell
And gained a victory
o'er the gates of Hell (and I said)
Repeat Chorus
Glory! Glory! Jesus, you loosed the chains for me
And when you died
upon the cross the wage of sin was then made free
Oh, you've taken the
torture and the punishment that was mine
And you became the Victim of
my crime
The Blessed Son of...
Repeat Chorus
He taught me how to stop, Stop Doin' Those Things (x2)

Chorus:

With the streets of gold and the crystal sea

But if we hang on long and hold on tight

Those pearly gates they're gonna open wide
And all the Christians

So come on, brother, and keep your faith
Live your

Lyrics:
Chorus:
We're dedicated to the Lord
We sing His praises and we
teach His word
If you're wond'ring what we're trying to say
We're
dedicated, dedicated to stay
Jesus came and suffered, He died to set us free
That we could see
what love is and live eternally
He is our King and Savior, He cleansed
us from our sin
And by our dedication we show our love for Him
Repeat Chorus
Jesus, supreme example, we'll find no better friend
So we should be
dedicated and strive to live like Him
He is the greatest servant, He
washed disciples feet
And by His dedication our lives can be
complete
Repeat Chorus
We're dedicated to the Lord (repeat and fade)
Scriptural Reference:
"Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also
should wash one another's feet. I have set you an example that you
should do as I have done for you. I tell you the truth, no servant
is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who
sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you
do them." John 13:14-17

example of Christ" 1 Corinthians 11:1

Lyrics:
Heart, Heart, Heart, ooooooooo
Chorus:
You gotta give Him your heart!
All you've got to do is
just give Him your heart
All you've got to do is just give Him your
heart
All you've got to do is just, just give Jesus your heart
You
gotta give Him your heart!
All you've got to do is just give Him your
heart
All you've got to do is just give Him your heart
I say now all
you've got to do is just, just give Jesus your heart
Well, there are many out there who haven't met the Lord
And there
are many out there who haven't read His word
And there are many out
there who don't know where to start
Just give Jesus your heart.
So give Him your heart!
All you've got to do is just give Him your
heart
All you've got to do is just give Him your heart
All you've
got to do is just, just give Jesus your heart
We must tell them in time so they can know His love
Yes, we must
tell them in time of the power from above
We must tell them in time
before there is no time
Just give Jesus your heart
The world is evil and is out for itself
The world is caring for
nobody else
The world is bogus and it won't understand
The love and
heart of the Man
The world needs Jesus or there's no need to
live
The world without Him has nothing to give
The world is living
in continous night
Let Him give you the light
You gotta give Him your heart!
All you've got to do is just give Him
your heart
All you've got to do is just give Him your heart
You know
that all you've got to do is just, just give Jesus your heart
Just give
Jesus your heart!
Just give Jesus your heart!

Lyrics:
Commit to the Lord whatever you do
And all of your plans will
succeed
In all of your ways acknowledge Him
And He will take care of
your needs
So whatever you do whether work or play
Give your best
everyday
Chorus:
You've gotta work at it with all of your heart (with all of
your heart)
Work at it with all of your heart (That's workin not for
man)
As working for the Lord and not for man
You've gotta work at it
with all of your heart
You work at your job, you work hard at school
But the things of this
life fade away
But if you work for the Lord it is never in vain
And
he will guide your feet everyday
So with His word in your heart and His
love in your soul
You can press on to the goal
Repeat Chorus
Anything that is worthwhile deserves your heart (You know that it
deserves all your heart)
If you will not give it all don't even start
(Don't even start)
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Work at it with all of your
Work at it with all of your
Work at
it with all of your heart.
Scriptural Reference:
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men." Colossians 3:23
