Stressed
To Extremes - © 1994
I can not smile
Don't blame me if I do not try
I might just cry
If you will please pardon me while I get down on my knees
I'm stressed, baby I'm stressed
Searching my soul
Nothing I find that I've done wrong
Should bring this on
I know I'm not feeling good when my sweat has turned to blood
I'm stressed, baby I'm stressed
When the light grows dim
Cast your care on him
People Got To Be Free
To Extremes - © 1994
All the world over so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
Listen please, listen that's the way it should be
There's peace in the valley, people got to be free
You should see what a lovely, lovely world this would be
If everyone learned to live together, yeah
It seems to me such an easy, easy thing it should be
Why can't you and me learn to love one another, oh yeah
All the world over so easy to see
People everywhere just wanna be free
I can't understand it, so simple to me
People everywhere just got to be free
If there's a man who is down and needs a helping hand
All it takes is you to understand and pull him through
It seems to me, we've got to solve it individually, oh yeah
I'll do unto you what you do unto me Shout it from the mountain on out to the sea
No two ways about it people got to be free
If you ask my opinion my opinion will be
It's a natural situation for man to be free
All the world over so easy to see
People everywhere just got to be free
Listen please, listen that's the way it should be
No two ways about it people got to be free
Ah, people gotta be free, yeah
I said the Lord is bringin' freedom
I said do you see the train of freedom
Ah, it's gonna come any minute, yeah
People gotta be free
You know it's long overdue
Oh, the train is comin', comin' on
People gotta be free
Jesus, won't you help us now
That's the way it should be
Got to be free, yeah
Hangin' By A Scarlet Thread
To Extremes - © 1994
Livin' in the country or livin' in the city
It's all the same in this crazy world
On the satellite tube, the pictures ain't pretty
But rest your heart while the planet twirls
A lot of people worry, a lot of troubled people
They just don't know how the story ends
Save mother earth, try to do their duty
And that's okay, but there's more my friend
On the edge of your seat, you can know who's in control
When the ride's complete you can rest your weary soul
We're hangin' by a scarlet thread
Colored with a Saviour's blood
Without it we'd be dead
We're hangin' by a scarlet thread
It won't break and it won't shred
The world is hangin' on by a scarlet thread
Climbin' up the ladder, climbin' down the gutter
We see it all in the tug of war
On the brink of madness, the dhip got a rudder
The captain's Jesus and he is Lord
'Till the Lord comes callin'
The world's gonna pay some dues
You can know He is comin'
You can trust that gospel news
We're hangin' by a scarlet thread
Colored with a Saviour's blood
Without it we'd be dead
We're hangin' by a scarlet thread
It won't break and it won't shred
The world is hangin' on by a scarlet thread
Rebel For God
To Extremes - © 1994
I bought a brand new CD
It sounded cool played loud and mean
The guy was screamin' at me
The band was preachin' anarchy
And if a revolution is what you think we need
Throw away the garbage you're eating
Throw away the lies you're believing
Throw yourself into the Savior
Be a rebel for God
They show us nasty pictures
They teach us their philosophy
They say rebellion's needed
So shake your fist, I do agree
And if a revolution is what you think we need
Throw away the garbage you're eating
Throw away the lies you're believing
Throw yourself into the Savior
Be a rebel for God
Judgment Day
To Extremes - © 1994
The local school has got a real problem
They've hired policemen to restrain the rage
Metal detectors greet the school children
I'd like to say welcome to judgment day
Out on the streets I hear the guns blazing
They're not just children going through a stage
'Cause now they're eighteen and beyond raising
Well, I'd like to say welcome to judgment day
These are the new orphans
They'got their backs against the mall
There is no peace coming
Lock up the doors and tremble behind the walls
The parents wonder what gets into them
Vacation's over, know it's time to pay
I know these words will give you no comfort
But I've got to say welcome to judgment day
Hyper-Faith
To Extremes - © 1994
Days are dark, hearts are cold, pressing on
The race is marking you tired
Every bit of news is like water on the fire
Fight the fight, hand to hand, heart to heart
Maybe you've had enough
Every little war brings casualties to love
Push it up another gear and finish the race
Push it into over drive to hyper-faith
Open up, tune it in, talk it out
Find it down on your knees
Open up the word then read it and believe
Trust and obey
Trust and obey
Trust and obey
To Extremes

Everyday I hear the news and wonder
You can see the clouds we're falling under
But there's a rushing wind and thunder I hear
On through the rain and darkness I see light
I sens the power of God, a change in sight
And if we'll pray together we'll ignite a flame
We've got to take it to extremes
Livin' on the edge, not standing in between
And walk with Christ for all to see
Telling broken hearts God can intervene
We've got to take it to extremes
In an age when all is so confusing
There is one who knows that we're not losing
His words they sound so very soothing to me
But like a knife those words can cut so deep
Convict our heats of wasted time we keep
So live your life extreme so all can see God's love
We've got to take it to extremes
Livin' on the edge, not standing in between
And walk with Christ for all to see
Telling broken hearts God can intervene
We've got to take it to extremes
Carry The Cross
To Extremes - © 1994
Would you dare to walk upon the water
Would you dare to step into the fire
Would you give away your wealth
Would you risk your very health
Would you sacrifice your heart's desire
Children of faith say yes
They give their very best
Carry the cross
Dare to follow in his footsteps
Carry the cross
Choose the path of most resistance
Heaven's the home of the brave
Through Christ they conquer the grave
Carry the cross
Will you make your bed among the lions
Will you yield your heart and bare his cross
Will you gladly sacrifice, just to gain eternal life
Will you count it gain to suffer loss
Children of faith know how
To conquer in His power
Dangerous Place
To Extremes - © 1994
Out on the town beneath the glittering lights
Ladies are loose and blue jeans are tight
Pain is her name and you can find her here
Doubles of trouble and a river of tears
I'm not afraid to tell you right to your face
Head for the door, this is a dangerous place
Natural desire can lead a moth to the flame
A night on fire can be a crying shame
Look in her eyes, the girl is cold and alone
Look in her heart and babe, there's nobody home
Take my advice, while there's time to escape
Break for the door, this is a dangerous place
Where the music is loud, dangerous place
Out with the beautiful crowd, dangerous place
What does your conscience say ?
Head for the door, this is a dangerous place
This could be heaven or a fatal mistake
And if you hesitate you lose
If I were you I'd put my foot on the brake
But Pal, it's you that will choose
Reclaim America
To Extremes - © 1994
The doomsday sayers are crowding in the streets
They say it's over, it's too late
Our land is crying, we have sown and now we reap
But there's a difference we can make
As helpless as it seems
The Lord can still redeem
So don't lose hope, don't lose faith
Stake your claim and reclaim America
Stand your ground, stand up for the Lord
Stake your claim and reclaim America
I still feel it's worth fighting for
We all can see it, the lights are dimming fast
The troubles just won't seem to leave
Our God in heaven loves every face of man
How He must weep at what He sees
Let us not grow faint
Pray for love not hate
Together we all must believe
Stake your claim and reclaim America
Stand your ground, stand up for the Lord
Stake your claim and reclaim America
