"Carry The Word To The World"
Go ye into all the world and preach the good news to every man
Holding for the Word of life to each -- sharing God's salvation plan
Unto the uttermost part of the earth
Teaching them of the new birth
Rescuing them from their sin
Showing them how they can be born again
Carry the Word to the world
To the hungry and thirsty who long to know
Teaching them of the things that we've learned
And watch God's family grown and grow
God has made us ambassadors to take His message to all men
To preach and teach His Word to those who've never heard
Reconciling them to Him
We know He gave us the power in love
In His gift of holy spirit from above
He said it's up the family
To spread the Word so others can be made free
God has given unto us this ministry
Along with the word of reconciliation
Let your light so shine that others too may see
And glorify our God above in every nation
"We Are What God's Word Says"
Many sons of God still live in fear
Of where they stand with Him, they are so unclear
They don't understand their sonship rights
Unaware of who they are in Christ
But God desires for us to walk in the light
To see that we're truly blessed
He gave us His Word so we could know what's right
So we would never need to guess
We are what God's Word says we are
We'll be what His Word says we'll be
We'll do the things He says we can
Upon the Word of God is where we take our stand
The world would tell us that we have lack
Or that Jesus Christ is not coming back
They say there's no way to really know
That you need to wait until you die to see which way you go
But God's says clearly -- we are born again
We've got a true connection
So, we'll keep our thoughts on things above
And keep walking in a heavenly direction
We were captive but God rescued us
From the prison of our sin
And He bought us with the blood of Christ
Now we belong to Him
We've been justified -- we are righteous
Set apart from all our sin
We can speak God's Word to others
Reconciling them to Him
"My God Shall Supply"
I have been young and now I'm growing older
Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken
Trust in the Lord for He would not deceive you
He said He'll never leave you -- He promised in His Word
My God shall supply
My God shall supply your need
He's always by your side
He sees and will provide... only believe
So, do not be afraid for God is watching over you
He sees and understands what you're going through
He gave His only Son for you -- is there anything He would not do?
He'll bless you and take care of you in everything you do
He owns the cattle on a thousand hills
No matter where you go, He's with you still
And He'll supply all that you need
According to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus
"Wherever I Go"
Wherever I go, You're with me
Whatever I do, You care
You'll never leave or forsake me
You're the one who's always there
It's so good to know that You will never leave me
That Your love for me won't change -- You'll always care
If the world should fall to pieces all around me
You would still be there
If ever I feel uncertain
Wondering what to do
Or ever my heart is hurting
I can always come to You
It's so good to know that You will never leave me
That Your love for me won't change -- You'll always care
If the world should fall to pieces all around me
You would still be there
I will look to You
No matter what the world may say or do
You will see me through
Because Your promises are always true
I can count on You
You're the one who's always there for me
The one who'll always care for me
"You Are Righteous Now"
Two thousand years ago Jesus Christ laid down his life
And his blood was shed upon the tree -- the perfect sacrifice
And the sins of those who did believe on him were washed away
Along with those who were to come -- that's you and me today
You see, you and I, we were not there to lift a helping hand
So, it's not by works of righteousness but by His grace we stand
And the gift is freely given -- it's ours to receive
The righteousness of God unto all them that believe
You are righteous now -- Christ paid the price for you
You are righteous now -- there's nothing more to do
This gift is freely given -- you couldn't earn it if you tried (no way, no how)
Because you are righteous now
Jesus died not when we were good enough for him
But he gave his life for you and me when we were dead in sin
So all our prayers and all our tears and all our toil for him
Could never, ever do the job to wipe away our sin
You see, God knows our weaknesses and He loves us just the same
He knows that we fall short, so there's forgiveness in Christ's name
And if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart
This love He's placed within us will never depart
You can stand before your Heavenly Father unashamed
And boldly come unto the throne of grace in Christ's name
"Never Be Afraid"
One day the king of Babylon had an image made of gold
And he gave command through all the land, "When the music plays, bow low!"
But three men in his kingdom refused to bend their knees
They said, "No, we will not bow low... for it's God we choose to please."
Then the king in rage and fury had them thrown into the fire
But they did not expire -- God saved them from all harm
God is still the same today -- He has not changed or gone away
And He still hears us when we pray and He bears His mighty arm
So, never be afraid no matter what men say
God can still do miracles so be bold in Him today
Like Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, refuse to ever bow low
Never back down... trust in God today
When it looks like trouble all around and it seems there's no way out
You can trust in God; He won't let you down -- you need never doubt
Just like Peter in the prison or Moses by the sea
God can make a way where there is no way to help you soon be free
Think of Joshua and Gideon and a hundred others more
When they looked to the Lord, He gave them victory
So, remember you are not alone
You can boldly come unto God's throne
To find the mercy and the grace to help in time of need
Be like Daniel in the lions' den
For he refused to doubt
But he put his trust in God and then
God shut the lion's mouth
"Renew My
Strength"
One day I realized the fire was almost gone
I surveyed the dying embers and wondered what went wrong
There was a time when Your Word was like a fire in my bones
And I could not keep it hidden for I longed to make it known
Then the years rolled by and the flame began to die
It seemed the cares of this old world took their toll upon my soul
And it was time to change my ways for I remembered younger days
In those days of my youth, I stood firmly on Your truth
But then I took my eyes off You and I grew weak
Once again now, Lord, it's you I seek
With Your help I will grow strong
I will serve you my whole life long
Renew my strength like the eagle, Lord
As I plunge myself into the cleansing water of Your Word
Strip away these old man feathers and renew for me my youth
Once again, Lord, I'll live my life for you
Those that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength
They shall run and not be weary and they shall walk and never faint
And God will satisfy their mouth and fill it with good things
So that their youth will be renewed -- they shall mount up on brand new wings
I don't want to live any other way
I want to give my all for You
In the center of Your will is where I want to stay
With my heart right next to you
But if I'm going to do it, Lord, like I want to, I'm going to need your help
There's no question I can't do it by myself
"Someday Soon..."
Someday soon... I don't know when...
He is coming back for us again
I try to wait here patiently
But I'm longing for his face to see
When the call comes, we'll be there
We will meet him in the sky
And leave behind this earthly care
In the twinkling of an eye
When our savior we do meet
We will stand before the bema seat
To receive rewards for good we've done
And praise from God and His dear Son
There will be no wrath for us that day
We will leave it all behind
For God will cast the sin away
Never brought again to mind
With the shout we will go
Jesus Christ is coming again
And when that trumpet blows
He'll gather us together with him then
Those who sleep in him will rise
The we will join them in the skies
No more heartaches; no more tears
No more waiting through the years
