There is a torch there is a flame Symbols of the greatest games To be the best, to win it all To hear them play our country song And see our banner wave Like the sweat that drips from me And all the years of my training Symbols of a greater goal Faithful to a higher call And if I stumble And know the pain of defeat Or if I finish strong and taste sweet victory Together we have come to believe Together we have come to a creed That when the flame is gone We want the world to know That we have come seeking more than gold Pressing for the finish line In this race to qualify Some have come in search of fame But we compete in Jesus name And when we finish strong and taste sweet victory Or when we stumble And know the pain of defeat Together we have come to believe Together we have come to a creed That when the flame is gone We want the world to know We have come seeking more than gold More than gold, more than gold ... Together we have come to believe That when the flame is gone We want the world to know We have come seeking more Together we have come to believe Together we have come to a creed We want the world to know That is more than gold So much more Together, Together We want the world to know Together
02 Life Together
Greatest Hits
To my mother we were known as ‘the gang'. There was Bobby and Donny and Laura and me. Yeah – one was a girl; she didn't act that way. When we were together we never were afraid. It showed me what it was to really be a friend. It didn't matter what you had, how you looked or what you said. We'd ride our bikes down the middle of a street, At the top of our lungs you could hear us scream: “Friends forever, to the end, On this my friend you can depend!' Together we live, together we walk. Together we stand, divided we fall. When you are weak, I will be strong. When I fall back, won't you pull me along? It's life together! I'll stick with you through any kind of weather. Life together! It's meant to be for ever and ever, In honour of the One Who paid the price. The gift of love and sacrifice Gave us life together. And now, there are the ones that are in my life, Who have loved me through all my lonesome ride. I'll never know no other way, It's from my heart when you hear me say: “Friends forever, to the end, On this my friend you can depend!' Together we live, together we walk. Together we stand, divided we fall. When you are weak I will be strong. When I fall back, won't you pull me along? It's life together! Together we live, together we walk. Together we stand, divided we fall. When you are weak I will be strong. When I fall back, won't you pull me along? This is life together! I'll stick with you through any kind of weather. Life together! It's meant to be for ever and ever, In honour of the One Who paid the price. His gift of love that gives us life. Life together! I'll stick with you through any kind of weather. Life together! It's meant to be for ever and ever. When you are weak, I will be strong. When I fall back, won't you pull me along? It's life together! I'll stick with you through any kind of weather. Life together! It's meant to be for ever and ever, In honour of the One Who paid the price. The gift of love that gives us life. Life together! I'll stick with you through any kind of weather. Life together! Things just keep on getting better and better… His gift of love that gives us life. Life together!
03 Evolution...Redefined
Greatest Hits
Darwin first did the imminent service of arousing attention to the probability of all change in organic, as well as in the inorganic world, being the result of law, and not of miraculous interposition. For all life is a continuum. All living things despite their awesome diversity are related to each other. And evolution is the term we give to that process, by which the structure of plants and animals changes with the passage of time thus accounting for the continnuum. I was staring through the blackboard trying to keep from sleeping, doing my very best to hear the subject they were teaching. When to my surprise, I couldn't my believe my ears, this is what you looked like back a million years. Your uncle was a monkey, he was swinging through the trees, he lived on green bannanas, and his arms swung to his knees. He spoke with such conviction, it really made me think, Maybe my teacher, He's the missing link! He said... I believe in evolution, ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies. It's the only possible solution, Big Bang fiction, that we factualize. Therefore Crow Magnum Man! It takes a lot of faith to say we're accidents of nature, but I believe we are the work of a loving Creator. Now you can wait a million years and hope that nature does it's part, but it only takes a moment, for God to change a heart. That's why... I believe in evolution, changing of the heart, renewing of the mind. It's the only true solution, God is always working, changing lives (changing lives), It's evolution redefined. I used to trust in natural selection, my survival was all I could see. My evolving to perfection, Started when God rescued me. I believe in evolution, changing of the heart, renewing of the mind. It's the only true solution, God is always working, changing lives. I believe in evolution, changing of the heart, renewing of the mind. It's the only true solution, It's evolution redefined.

04 The Vow
Greatest Hits
I could make a promise to you, But that would be too easy to do. You see I've made them before, And broken them and they're no good anymore. So I'll dig a little bit deeper, Give you something you can keep I will make a vow to you, And it will never change no matter what I do. Right here, right now, In the midst of the crowd, I stand alone and make my vow. Whatever it takes I will be faithful This is my vow. As the words fall from my lips, We both know the life I live, How I stumble and fall, How many times I land short of the call. I will confess my inadequacy, Throw myself into the mystery. That somehow in the deoth of your love, You will help me do what I'm not capable of. Right here, right now, In the midst of the crowd, I stand alone and make my vow. Whatever it takes I will be faithful. Right here, right now, Let there be no doubt. Let every whisper, with every shout, Let the whole world know I will be faithful, This is my vow.

08 House Of Faith
Greatest Hits
There is a house Not made of steel or stone There is a house Made of flesh and bone Open to the hurting Open to the lost Welcoming the rich and poor man There is no charge Love has paid the cost Let the doors swing open To the house of faith Every tribe and nation, Every tongue and race Under Jesus' banner, Let us all embrace There can be no labels In the house of faith In this house There are rooms for the confused In this house There are rooms for the abused Places for the disillusioned That once saw wrong as right Hands to hold the week and fallen As a run toward redemption's light Let the doors swing open To the house of faith Every tribe and nation, Every tongue and race Under Jesus' banner, Let us all embrace There can be no labels In the house of faith

11 Live To Tell
Greatest Hits
We already said that actions speak louder than words And love that is seen is much more than love that's just heard That's the way that it was with our Savior Whose life told the story of love Someone was watching, someone was listening Dying to know what He know so well And Help them believe If they could receive it That's why Jesus live to tell Now this is my prayer for help me to live what I say (live what I say) For so many times I know that my actions betrayed Let it be like it was with my Savior Let my life tell his story of love Someone is watching, someone is listening Dying to know what we know so well And help them believe If in us the'll see Him That's why we must tell I will live to tell The one who has rescued my life I will live to tell The one who can bring a new start Take my life and let it be A reflection of You for the whole world to see For God is alive and well, I will live to tell to return Someone is watching, someone is listening Someone is watching, someone is listening Could be your neighbor, your brother, your friend Will help them believe if in you they see Him So what will you do ? I will live to tell Of the one who has rescued my life I will live to tell I will live to tell Of the one who has rescued my life I will live to tell The one who can bring a new start Change my life and let it be A reflection of You for the whole world to see For God is alive and well I will live to tell Of the one who has rescued my life I will live to tell The one who can bring a new start Change my life and let it be A reflection of You for the whole world to see For God is alive and well I will live to tell

01 Evidence Of God (Words and Music by Geoff Moore and Roscoe Meek)
Live
Every mountain, every valley, the evidence of God. Verse One I believe that William Shakespeare lived though we never met, 'Cause when I was 17 I read "Romeo & Juliet". And I believe there was a man whose name was Michaelangelo, Because he left his mark in a chapel in the heart of Rome. Chorus Every mountain, every valley Your creation, it surrounds me. Every breath I breath, every heartbeat, Every sunrise that You give to me. These and so much more Tell a story we cannot ignore, The evidence of God. Verse Two As the potter shapes his clay, he leaves evidence. And our Father does the same, His creation is evidence. That's how we can believe in a God we cannot see or hear or touch. If we will open our eyes we'll see His work is all around us. Chorus Every mountain, every valley Your creation, it surrounds me. Every breath I breath, every heartbeat, Every sunrise that You give to me. Every blue sky, every starry night, Paint a picture we cannot deny. Like a warm rain in the summertime, Like a first kiss or a baby's cry. These and so much more Tell a story we cannot ignore, The evidence of God. Bridge These and so much more, Tell a story we cannot ignore. Even our own lives will testify, Chorus Every mountain, every valley Your creation, it surrounds me. Every breath I breath, every heartbeat, Every sunrise that You give to me. Every blue sky, every starry night, Paint a picture we cannot deny. Like a warm rain in the summertime, Like a first kiss or a baby's cry. These and so much more Tell a story we cannot ignore, Even our own lives will testify, To the evidence of God, the evidence of God Hallelujah, we are the evidence of God.

04 Best Days (Words and Music by Geoff Moore and Phil Madeira)
Live
Verse One The river was deep, the water was cold, I was only twelve years old. My dad and me, trout fishing, Waist deep in a Michigan stream. He showed me how to make that fly, Look like it was so alive. And then he helped me understand, How to be a fisher of men. Chorus And all the world was right, And I felt so full and alive In the wonder and the light, And I would never be the same, For I knew somehow I had changed. Even now I'd have to say, It was one of my best days. Verse Two It was like a rock, a lump in my throat, I was eighteen years old, But I had to say something To the prettiest girl I'd ever seen. A new world record was set that day, For the stupid things I'd say. I made her laugh, It must've been enough, For by day's end we'd fall in love. Chorus And all the world was right, And I felt so full and alive In the wonder and the light, And I would never be the same, For I knew somehow I had changed. Even now I'd have to say, It was one of my best days. Verse Three Sometimes I look to the eastern sky, Wondering what it will be like, When we all finally learn, Of the day You return. What will I feel? Where will I be? Will it all seem like a dream? I think it'll be like a long-lost friend, Coming back to His family again. Chorus And all the world will be right, And we'll feel so full and alive In His wonder and His light, And we will never be the same, For I know we all will be changed, And we will surely say, This is the very best of days, This is the very best, The very best of days.

06 Home Run
Live
The lights go on, another game day, I grabbed my bat and headed for the plate. But the first pitch was a curve and I was done. Strike one! I stepped out of the box, looked the pitcher in the eye, You could read his lips, "Hey punk, you're mine." So I gave him a wink and said "Let's see what you can do." Strike two! Chorus Gotta keep my eye on the ball, swing straight and true and follow through. Don't be afraid whatever the call because we're never alone, Our coach is there to cheer us on. Well it's the wind up, here comes that ball. You gotta pray and swing, watch it till it's going, going, it's gone Home, home, home run, we need a home run. You know life can be like a baseball game, We're on the same team, but we're not all the same. That's why we've got to learn to play together. I didn't join this team to sit on the bench, I'm going deep, swinging for the fence I've got some friends on base I gotta get home. - Chorus - Bridge We are not the first to play this game or stand over this plate. We are surrounded by their legacy, like they're sittin' in the stands. I can see them waving their hands saying "Go, go all the way!" Home, home, home run. Hey, it's gone gone now. Home, home, home run. Hey it's a home run.
07 New Americans

There are seven of red and there are six of white It's the blood and truth of the stars and stripes Through a perilous night with our banner waved In the land of the free, in the home of the brave Late Twentieth century with "Generation X" Never has there been a group more patrioic-less As the bells of freedom ring in the name of liberty We run down each other chasing the American dream Who will help to lead the way back to what made our land so great? Is there anyone who will say, "This is God's Country?" Calling the New Americans Ready to make a stand, Ready to take back the land Calling the New Americans Rich and poor, young and old Have been bought and cant be sold It's from coast to coast like a growing storm There's an army of the young living above the norm Four words that you will find on a dollar bill They are more than an empty slogan but the passion by which we live So come join us in the fight and run to right Calling the New Americans Ready to make a stand, Ready to take back the land Calling the New Americans Rich and poor, young and old, Have been bought and cant be sold Calling the New Americans Red, yellow, black and white; Who'll never ever give up the fight Calling the New Americans We all know the hour's late, this ain't no time to hesitate My country 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty Of thee, I sing Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrims pride Of thee, I sing It's time we hit our knees and cry out humbly Jesus, Heal Us! We are the New Americans Ready to take a stand, Ready to take back the land We are the New Americans Rich and poor, young and old Have been bought and can't be sold We are the New Americans Red, yellow, black and white, Who'll never ever give up the fight We are the New Americans Who vote and buy it, make the choice And speak for those without a voice We are the New Americans Who vote and buy it, make the choice And speak for those without a voice Calling the New Americans! Are You Out There?
08 Why Should the Devil Have All the Good Music ? (Larry Norman)
Live
I want the People to know That He saved my soul, But I still like to listen to the radio, They say Rock 'n Roll is wrong , They'll give me one more chance. I feel so good I want to get up & dance. I know what's right , I know what's wrong, I don't confuse it. All I'm really trying to say Is , Why should the devil have all the good music? I've been filled, I feel okay , Jesus is the rock and He rolled my blues away. They say to cut my hair, they're driving me insane. I grew it out long to make room for my brain. But sometimes people don't understand, What's a good boy doining in a Rock n' Roll band . There's nothing wrong with playing the blues licks, If you've got a reason , I want to hear it. why should the Devil Have all the Good Music? I've been filled, I feel okay , Jesus is the rock and He rolled my blues away. I ain't knockin' the hyms,just give me a song that has a beat, I ain't knockin' the hyms,just give me a song that moves my feet, I don't like any of them funeral marches, I ain't dead yet. All I wanna , I wanna, I wanna say, Why should the devil have all the good Music? All I wanna , I wanna, I wanna say, Why should the devil have all the good Music? All I wanna , I wanna, I wanna say, Why should the devil have all the good Music? All I wanna , I wanna, I wanna say, Why should the devil have all the good Music? Jesus told the truth and Jesus showed the way, there's one more thing I'd like to say. They Nailed Him to the cross, they laid Him in the ground, should of known you can't keep Jesus Christ down. I feel good everyday,I don't want to lose it. Al I wanna, I wanna, one more time now, Why should the devil have all the Good music? I've been filled, I feel okay , Jesus is the rock , He rolled my blues, He will roll your blues, He will roll your blues away.
09 - When All Is Said and Done
Live
When the music fades into the past, when the days of life are through, what will be remembered of where I've come? When all is said and done? Will they say I loved my family? That I was a faithful friend? That I lived to tell of God's own son? When all is said and done. Of how I longed to see the hour, when I would hear that trumpet sound. So I could rise and see my Savior's face, and see him smile, and say 'Well done.' You can forget my name and the songs I've sung, Every line and every tune. But remember the truth of Jesus' love, When all is said and done When all is said and done.
