4 Him

Best Ones

Real Thing

I can dream about heaven constantly
Both day and night
I can let my mind drift away to a better place
A better time
Though there’s nothing wrong with thinking about
Forever by and by
All the while millions are still searching for a light

Maybe it is time we take a look
At here and now
Maybe we can change the destiny
Of a world that’s crying out
For the truth we take for granted
Is too often left unsaid
We can get so heaven minded
That sometimes we forget

CHORUS
That we’re living in a real world
With real hurt and real pain
And all we really need is the real thing
When we look beyond our circumstance
And face reality
We’ll realize that all we really need
Is just to see
Jesus in a real world

There are days when I look around
And I feel like hope is gone
There are times my heart is torn between
Who is right and what is wrong
There are causes I believe in
There are things I’ll never change
But I’m finding all that matters
Is there’s just one truth
One truth that remains

‘Cause we’re living... (CHORUS)

He Never Changes

You stand there abandoned
Your Friends have all gone
Fair-weather companions
Have left you all alone
This world full of changes
Has cut to the heart of your soul
But through all of the pain
Only Jesus remains
And in each situation you know

CHORUS
He never changes
He’s always the same
Through all the ages
He always remains
Forever constant
Forever a friend
Forever faithful
His love knows no end
He never changes
He’s always the same

A God so amazing
I can’t comprehend
The depth of His mercies
Such grace that has no end
I’m awed by the thought
That I’m formed in the image of Him
But my humanity
Brings me down to my knees
And I find that’s
When His strength begins

As surely as the summer breezes Come and go
There’s a cold and lonely winter Wind
That’s bound to blow
But through the turning of the seasons
You will never have to be alone

Basics Of Life

We’ve turned the page, for a new day has dawned
We’ve re-arranged what is right and what’s wrong
Somehow we’ve drifted so far from the truth
That we can’t get back home
Where are the virtues that once gave us light
Where are the morals that governed our lives
Someday we all will awake and look back
just to find what we’ve lost

We need to get back
To the basics of life
A heart that is pure
And a love that is blind
A faith that is fervently
grounded in Christ
The hope that endures for all times
These are the basics,
we need to get back
To the basics of life

The newest rage is to reason it out
Just meditate and you can overcome every doubt
After all man is a God, they say
God is no longer alive

But I still believe in the old rugged cross
And I still believe there is hope for the lost
And I know the rock of all ages will stand
Through changes of time

BRIDGE
We’ve let the darkness invade us too long
We’ve got to turn the tide
Oh and we need the passion that burned long ago
To come and open our eyes
There’s no room for compromise

We need to get back
To the basics of life
A heart that is pure
And a love that is blind

We need to get back
To the basics of life
A heart that is pure
The hope that endures for all times
These are the basics,
we need to get back
To the basics of life

Couldn't We Stand

Everyday
You hear the people talkin'
They say they're takin a stand
They're lookin' for
A cause they can believe in
For the welfare of man
But all I see are soldiers in a circle
Marching no place fast
Isn't it time the children of God
Take a stand that will last
Oh it makes me want to ask

(chorus)
Couldn't we stand to kneel a little longer
The time is never spent in vain
In the light of all we stand to gain
Finding the faith that only makes us stronger
Touching what we cannot see
Reaching to heaven from our knees
Couldn't we stand

I know men
So blinded by ambition
The joy is slippin' away
But they're no worse
Than the people who are livin'
Like there's only today
And I can't help but shake my head and wonder
What's it comin' to
Lord, give me the strength to lift them in prayer
'Cause it's all I can do
Just to give them back to you
(chorus)

The Measure Of A Man

This world can analize and size you up and throw you on the scales
They can I.Q. you and run you through
Their rigorous details
They can do their best to rate you
And they'll place you on the charts
And then back it up with scientific smarts
But there's more to what you're worth
Than their human eyes can see
Oh, I say the measure of a man
Is not how tall you stand
How wealthy or intelligent you are
'Cause I've found out the measure of a man
God knows and understands
For He looks inside to the bottom of your heart
And what's in the heart defines
The measure of a man
Well, you can doubt your worth
And search for who you are
And where you stand
But God made you in His image
When He formed you in His hands
And He looks at you with mercy
And He sees you through His love
You're His child and that will always be enough
For there's more to what you're worth
Than you could ever comprehend
Oh I say the measure of a man
Is not how tall you stand
How wealthy or intelligent you are

'Cause I've found out the measure of a man
God knows and understands
For He looks inside
To the bottom of your heart
And what's in the heart defines
The measure of a man
You can spend your life persuing physical perfection
There is so much more
More than ever meets the eye
For God looks through the surface
And He defines your worth by what is on the inside
I say the measure of a man
Is not how tall you stand
How wealthy or intelligent you are
'Cause I've found out the measure of a man
God knows and understands
For He looks inside
To the bottom of your heart
And what's in the heart defines
Oh, I say the measure of
The measure of a man
Is not how tall you stand,
How wealthy or intelligent you are
Oh, I've found the measure of a man
God knows and understands it
For He looks to the bottom of your heart
And what's in the heart defines
Yeah, what's in the heart defines
Yeah, what's in the heart defines
The measure of a man
I know, I know

Why?

They say that into every life
Some rain must fall
For the pain is no respector
Of the mighty or the small
But sometimes
It just seems so Unfair
To see the One who’s had
More than His share
Oh it makes you wonder why
And Lord
I wouldn’t second guess
Your mighty plan
For I know You have a purpose
That’s beyond the scope of man
If You look inside my heart
You will find
That I have always been
The Trusting kind
Oh but still I wonder

CHORUS
Why
Do the rainy days have to come
When the storm clouds hide the sun
I wanna know why

Why
When the reasons aren’t clear to me
When it all is a mystery
I want to know why
And though down here
I may not understand
I won’t let go
Of the Unseen hand
For It holds the reasons why

The Lord has never been afraid
Of honest prayers
And He won’t allow the burden
To be more than you can bear
When He knows that you’re trust
Is in Him
He doesn’t mind the questions
Now and then
Even if you wonder

Where There Is Faith

I believe in faithfulness
I believe in giving of myself for someone else
I believe in peace and love
I believe in honesty and trust but it’s not enough
For all that I believe may never change the way it is
Unless I believe Jesus lives

CHORUS
Where there is faith
There is a voice calling, keep walking
You’re not alone in this world
Where there is faith
There is a peace like a child sleeping
Hope everlasting in He who is able to
Bear every burden, to heal every hurt in my heart
It is a wonderful, powerful place
Where there is faith

There’s a man across the sea
Never heard the sound of freedom ring
Only in his dreams
There’s a lady dressed in black
In a motorcade of cadillacs
Daddy’s not coming back
Our hearts begin to fall
And our stability grows weak
But Jesus meets our needs if only we believe

CHORUS

Wings

Just two brothers with visions of flight
They were certain to grace
The heavens that awaited
Orville and Wilbur had figured it right
At their moment of fate
Their destiny had come to this time and place

Far beyond anyone’s expectations
They lifted into the skies of blue
As they all watched in anticipation
The crowd must have longed for
Their own rendezvous

CHORUS
Give me my wings
I’m ready to fly today
Ready to wave my worries goodbye
Give me my wings
I’m ready to ride away
Ready to leave my troubles behind
What’s over my head will soon be under my feet
Give me my wings

Those who patiently wait are made new
Through the turbulent times
Somehow they survive it
They will walk and not faint, this it true
Through the currents of life
Even though it throws them from side to side'

So, I’m waiting on You through the weather
We’ll take a trip where the eagles dare
And we’re gonna go through it together
‘Cause I’ve got Your promise
You’ll carry me there

REPEAT CHORUS

I can sail through the trials of life
Lord, You’re my captain
And you’re always there to guide me
I’ve fixed my compass
And I’ve set my sights on the ride

Before the River Came

I've been lookin' at the past
I've wasted too much time
On things that won't last
I've built a kingdom out of rubble and sand
But I don't, I don't want to hold on to it all
I'm ready for the river to run and wash it away
I'm singing
Come sweet water
Cleanse my soul
Shower me
And make me whole
Consume me with healing flood
Leave no traces of the man that I was
Before the river came

There's no freedom in the chains
They hold you captive to the guilt of your stains
One drop of water brings
an ocean of change
And I long, I long to move on from it all
I'm ready for the river to run and wash it away

I'm singing
Come sweet water
Cleanse my soul
Shower me
And make me whole
Consume me with healing flood
Leave no traces of the man that I was
Before the river came

Baptize and bury me
Until only You remain (come and rescue me)
I don't want to be the man that I was
Long before the river came

I'm singing
Come sweet water
Cleanse my soul
Shower me
And make me whole
Consume me with healing flood
Leave no traces of the man that I was
Come sweet water
Cleanse my soul
Shower me
And make me whole
Consume me with healing flood
Leave no traces of the man that I was
Come sweet water
Cleanse my soul
Shower me
And make me whole
Consume me with healing flood
Leave no traces of the man that I was..

The Message

The fields are white and now the time has come
For there’s a harvest, there is work left to be done
Lord here am I, I will be the one
I’m committed to the finish until the setting of the sun
Lord, I will be faithful in all I say and do

To live a love that never fails
To love my neighbor as myself
And to give till there is nothing left to give
To live a faith that never dies
To be crucified with Christ
Until all that lives through me
Is the message

I can’t ignore what’s right before my eyes
For all around this world is searching for a sign
Outside the door they’re living in the night
And the light that lives within me is the hope
They long to find
So I must be faithful in all I say and do

If we all will work together
We can make this world a better place to live
We can make a difference if we try

Great Awakening

Here in this moment in time
We search for wonders, for miracles and signs
Something to satisfy the hunger in us all
A human rage from deep within the soul
Like a machine in pursuit
On the horizon like a raging fire we move
Driven by questions in
My endless search for truth
There is a stirring in us
A great awakening begins

CHORUS
I believe there's a mighty power
I believe it's a latter rain
I believe there's a move of God
Calling us all higher
Oh I believe these are the days of the great awakening
The days of the great awakening yeah

More than our hearts can contain
It is an overflow of God's amazing grace
Coming to reconcile a world that's lost its way
Oh all consuming fire come purify us once again

CHORUS
I believe there's a mighty power
I believe its a later rain
I believe there's a move of God
Calling us all higher
I believe these are the days of the great awakening
The great awakening

BRIDGE
There's no containing this great move of restoration
There's no chains, no walls, no boundaries, no lines
Without a doubt I do believe if we'll just get down on our knees
That rain is gonna fall
It's just matter of time

I believe there's a mighty power
i believe it's a latter rain
i believe theres' a move of God
Calling us all higher
Oh I believe these are the days of the great awakening

I believe there's a mighty power
I believe there's a lighter rain
I believe there's a move of God
Calling us all higher
Oh I believe these are the days of the great awakening yeah
Days of the great awakening
I know these are the days
These are the days of the great awakening
I believe there's a mighty move
I believe
Days of the great awakening
Yeah these are the days

Lay It All On The Line

So don’t go wastin’ your time
Holding on to your life
There are treasures that I have possessed
Meant the world to me
But they never filled the emptiness
I needed something more than these
In the middle of my wilderness
God reached down to me
When I let go to His tenderness
I found this life was more than I ever dreamed

So don’t go wastin’ your time
Holding on to your life
Just lay it all on the line
Gotta make up your mind
There can be no more compromise
Just lay it all on the line

It’s a matter of surrendering
Every hidden fear
And by letting go of everything
Jesus will meet you there
In the heart of every one of us
There’s a call to faith
Even though we’ll never measure up
That’s why the Savior, that’s why the Savior came

Gone are the days of holding on
This is the time to surrender
Now is the moment you’ve got to let it go
Just let it go
Don’t go wastin’ your time
Gotta make up your mind
There can be no more compromise
Just lay it all on the line

The Center Of The Mark

To Love God, love people
That's the center of the mark

In this life some things are bound to change
But one thing remains the same
We all need love

Time goes on, it moves like a hurricane
And through all the wind and rain
We all need love

As this world just keeps on turnin' round and round
There are treasures to be found
If we just let compassion lead the way

CHORUS
Draw back your bow, let love go
Shoot straight for the heart
With all of your might, set you sight
Take aim from the start
To love God, love people
That's the center of the mark

Every day, through what is and is to come
When all has been said and done
We all need love

So Jesus came, a gift from the heart of God
He gave us His life because
We all need love

And the love that death could not keep in the grave
Is alive in us today
So we must live to show the world the way

REPEAT CHORUS

BRIDGE
For the world is the target
And the arrow is the cross
As we set out on this journey
Lets obey the call from the heart of God
Let us Love at any cost

Draw back you bow let love go....

REPEAT CHORUS

For Future Generations

The signs are obvious, they are everywhere
All that we hear about is the gloom and despair
Too many would be prophets saying
"It’s the end of it all"
‘Cause mother earth can’t take much more
The hammer’s gonna fall

So nature has its needs, that’s a lesson learned
But it appears to me there are greater concerns
‘Cause we can save the planet
Thinkin’ we will somehow survive
But father time is calling us
To save somebody’s life

Chorus:
So I won’t bend and I won’t break
I won’t water down my faith
I won’t compromise in a world of desperation
What has been I cannot change
But for tomorrow and today
I must be a light for future generations

If we could find a way to preserve our faith
So those who follow us
See the price that was paid
Then maybe when they question
What it’s gonna take to survive
They’ll find the strength to carry on
In what we leave behind

So I won’t bend and I won’t break
I won’t water down my faith
I won’t compromise in a world of desperation
What has been I cannot change
But for tomorrow and today
I must be a light for future generations
Lookin’ in the eyes of the children
Knowing that tomorrow is at stake
When the choice is up to them
Will they have the strength to say

We won’t bend and we won’t break
we won’t water down our faith
We won’t compromise in a world of desperation
What has been we cannot change
But for tomorrow and today
We must be a light for future generations
