if i tell you something you need to know
i gotta back it up
i gotta let it show
we could be so loud
if we could write a song that makes us all proud
but without love
it’s just a sound

everybody show what we know
and let the good stuff flow
everybody show what we know
and let the good stuff flow

i could speak with tongues of Angels
apologetics in a slick rhetoric
either way without love my words are dead
we have love
we have forgiveness
we have grace without a limit
so if it has been revealed to us
should it not then be contagious?

we got the rhythm
we got the rhyme
print up a t-shirt
throw them a line

but without love we are nothing

She’s been dazed
and induced
wants a part time God for her private use
but she won’t take a stand
cause she might get taggged as a closet Jesus fan

CHORUS

Sign on
the time is drawing near
this is surely a banner year
to be a public witness
sign on
the lines are drawn and clear
theres no stradling fences here
we going public with this

he’s displaced
and unglued
scared that faith in God could be misconstrued
but the cross
makes him wish
that his spine was more than a school of jellyfish

CHORUS

CHORUS x’s2

God of all nations
Lord of creation
It’s in the bonds of love we meet
We come together at Your feet
Equal in Your sight
Made one by Your might
You’ve called us to restore Your lands
And place them back within Your hands

Chorus:
So tonight
Be glorified
Be magnified
As every nation lifts You high
Oh, Father tonight
It’s our desire
To see Your Kingdom shine
On earth as in Heaven tonight

God of all nations
Lord of creation
Your purpose is out hope, our bread
All You’ve planned and all You’ve said
Lord of the heavens
Lord of the ages
The church You build shall never fail
No gate or border will prevail

Chorus

Tonight
Be glorified
Lifted up high
It’s our desire

So tonight
Be glorified
Lifted up high
It’s our desire

Oh, Father, tonight
It’s our desire
You’re magnified
Lifted up high

Chrous

Oh be glorified

You don’t understand
this is not what you think it is
You don’t get it, man
you want to boil it down to show biz
Your in-depth research shows:
drop the God, emphasize the beat
I’ve heard that positive pop you dig–
I’d rather be buried in wet concrete
Take back your free advice
I don’t accept
I will not play those games
God is not a secret to be kept
God is not a secret to be kept

You don’t understand
I’m not talking multiple choice
You don’t get it, man
if the cross offends you, find another voice
I am not running for office here
I won’t keep it purposefully vague
I’ve heard New Age Life-force trip
I’d rather be dipped in bubonic plague

Take back your free advice
I don’t accept
I will not play those games
God is not a secret to be kept
God is not a secret to be kept

If we keep silent
If we mass defect
These very rocks will scream
God is not a secret to be kept
God is not a secret to be kept

And would I wash my hands again?
Would I deny my savior when
he hung inside the public square?
Did not my silence put him there?

Everybody needs somebody to rely on (to rely on, realize)
Everybody needs somebody’s shoulder to cry on (just to cry on, realize)
Are you gonna lend a hand and assist (I wanna send you there)

Chorus1
GO…
FROM THE TOP OF THE WORLD
TO THE BOTTOM RUNG
‘TIL THE WORK IS DONE
I WANNA SEND YOU
GO…
FROM THE BREAK OF THE DAWN
TO THE AGE’S END
SOMEONE’S NEEDING A FRIEND
I WANNA SEND YOU

Everybody needs somebody for the long ride (for the long ride, ride along)
Everybody needs somebody comin’ alongside (come alongside, side along)
Are you gonna lend a hand…or a fist? (I wanna send you there)

[Repeat Chorus1]

Gonna send you out one by one
If I need it sung, can you sing it loud
Gonna send you two by two
Outta the ark, into the wild blue
Gonna come along by your side
Send along my Spirit guide
I’m gonna show you miracles
Cover the earth
Make disciples

GO…
FROM THE TOP OF THE WORLD
TO THE BOTTOM RUNG
‘TIL THE WORK IS DONE
I WANNA SEND YOU
GO…
FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH
TO THE NEAREST GAP
ALL OVER THE MAP
I WANNA SEND YOU

[Repeat Chorus1]

I was a teen flat-liner on the joy screen
Dead in the water of life as we knew
You offered me drink, I wanted more than a sip
But I couldn’t let go on the straws I was clinging to

Giving it over, giving it over
I was flat on my back, I’d slid ’till it hurt
Giving it over, giving it over
You put my head in the clouds and my feet in good dirt
My head in the clouds and my feet in good…dirt

Devils were crowding my head with lies they spread
They’d convinced me of what fools know isn’t true
Quick as an Outkast rhyme you took me back in time
Back to the first love I ever knew

Giving it over, giving it over
Got my broken heart healed and removed from its cast
Giving it over, giving it over
Yeah, I’m giving it all to a true love at last
Giving it all to a true love at last

You don’t know where the wind’s going to blow
And since you can’t take it with you
Better give it away before you go
Yeah, I’m giving it over

Greed is the word, it’s a verb
Wants to bind us all
Bind us together like a platinum truss
Giving it over, giving it over
I’m putting my heart into treasures that don’t rust
Giving it over, giving it over
I’m giving it all to a face I can trust

You don’t know where the wind’s going to blow
And since you can’t take it with you
Better give it away before you go
Yeah, I’m giving it over

Giving it over, giving it over, giving it all
(give, give, give, give it over)
I’m giving it over, giving it over, giving it all
(give, give, give, give it over)…

Island life in the sun
Tryin’ to hide from everyone
Livin’ a life that pleases you
Big walls that hide you
Where were you those days – Wooooo
When love called, you were away – Wooooo
You know people lost yeh
Bring down those walls yeh

Chorus
Its time to make a stand, get up, get up
Its time to take the land
Get up, get up for love

Island life in the sun tryin’ to hide from everyone
Livin’ a life that pleases you, big walls that hide you
Friends lost with hell to pay – Woooo
Will you let them go that way
People caught by death yeh – Woooo
Do you love the lost yeh – Woooo

- Chorus -

Bridge
The devil comes to rob and to steal
Secret believer, believe me it’s real

- Chorus -

Its freedom, do you believe that?

Through you the blind will see
Through you the mute will sing
Through you the dead will rise
Through you our hearts will praise
Through you the darkness flees
My heart screams i am free
I am free

I am free to run
I am free to dance
I am free to live for u
I am free
Yes I am free

I am free to run
I am free to dance
I am free to live for you
I am free
Yes I am free

Through you the blind will see
Through you the mute will sing
Through you the dead will rise
Through you our hearts will praise
Through you the darkness flees
Through you my hearts screams I am free

Are you free?

I am free
I am free to run
I am free to dance
I am free to live for you
I am free
Yes I am free

He was despised, rejected by men, a man of sorrows,
familiar with suffering surely he took up our infirmities,
surely he carried our sorrows, he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities
Because of his wounds we are healed! Because of his wounds
I am healed! Because of his wounds we are healed!
Do you believe that? Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

I am free
I am free to run
I am free to dance
I am free to live for you
I am free
Yes i am free

Hold out your hands for freedom!
Freedom in your head, freedom in your heart,
freedom in your mind, freedom in your emotions,
freedom in every area of your life
The freedom comes through the blood, it comes through the Word,
it comes through the body, it comes through spiritual foundations
Its price has been paid, freedom’s price has been paid,
its price has been paid

i wanna go higher, higher
set it free
there’s gotta be more to touch
than what i see
there’s a reason we must be
for the love of God, speak it to me

good news for the modern man, yes it is
made by the creator’s hands, yes he is
confirmed just who i am
here i stand
the forever man

it’s gotta be higher, higher
let it be
carry on from this life’s brevity
when this mortal coil is twisting
with the love of mercy carry me

sometimes we lose our sight
open our eyes
no secret here
heaven is near

good news for the modern man, yes it is
eternity in the heart of every man
confirmed just who i am
here i stand
the forever man

and the longer i live
the stronger i feel a creator put us here
and the day will come, gravity will run
and we’ll meet you in the air
where face to face we will wonder
as the mysteries come undone
and at the end of all our travels
we find our journey’s just begun

here i stand
it’s who i am
here i stand
forever man

Will you take what we have
A sacrifice unto You
And create clean hearts
And, Lord, make our spirits new

(chorus)
Father, blessed Father
Lead and guide us for Your name’s sake
And keep us in the shelter of Your presence
‘Til we see Your face

Let us hear what You say
Let us know Your voice and all of Your ways
Take our hands, lead us home
To the refuge that we find in You alone

(chorus)

All adoration
To our Lord Redeemer
To our Shepard
Who carries us forevermore

(chorus)

Breathe on me
Breathe, oh, breath of God
Breathe on me
‘Til my heart is new
Oh Lord, oh Lord
‘Til my heart is new

Breathe on me
Breathe, oh, breath of life
Breathe on me
‘Til my heart is new
Oh Lord, oh Lord
‘Til my heart is new
