"I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." - John 16:33
why should i so gratefully be
familiar with true misery
and why should i thus bear the burden of empathy
oh, and why should i believe the Lord is gonna lead me
when i see the enemy
i'll tell you why, i'll tell you why, i'll tell you why
because He overcame
the world of anger, fear, and shame
and even though i'm not that strong
i'm not afraid, because i hear the song
Messiah Overcame
the devil's sick and twisted game
and for this freedom His power i proclaim!
and why should i so gratefully know
my spirit is lyin' kinda low
and why should i see over the swell that i sink below
oh, and why should i trust that soon i'm gonna be delivered
you know i'm ready to go
i'll tell you why, i'll tell you why, i'll tell you why
because He overcame
the world of anger, fear, and shame
and even though i'm not that strong
i'm not afraid, because i hear the song
Messiah Overcame
the devil's sick and twisted game
and for this freedom His mercy i proclaim!
...
Messiah overcame
the vicious grip of death and pain
and even though i'm not that strong
i'm not afraid, because i hear the song
Messiah Overcame
the devil's sordid claim to fame
and for this freedom His majesty i proclaim!!!

Look To The Maker

i know you take pride in yourself
well, it's been so easy to hide in yourself
come on now, with a smile that could kill
and a song that could thrill
the song is over now
you're lookin' inside of yourself
just look to the Maker
emotion's Creator
and lay all confusion to rest
you're made in His image
and this work He will finish
if you will put His love to the test
i know you're ashamed of yourself
oh, and tired of playin' games with yourself
but whatcha gonna do
when you're scared of the truth
and all you know to do
is take all the blame for yourself
just look to the Maker
emotion's Creator
and lay all confusion to rest
you're made in His image
and this work He will finish
if you will put His love to the test
...
i know you're confused by yourself
you've been exalted and abused by yourself
but listen, there is one simple way
to be free today
the Way, the Truth, the Life
is callin' you to choose for yourself, for yourself
just look to the Maker
emotion's Creator
and lay all confusion to rest
you're made in His image
and this work He will finish
if you will put His love to the test

I Will Live

for the wages of sin is death
of which i am deserving
but the Righteous One died instead
'cause life is not for earning
and i couldn't if i tried
but because my Savior died
i will live, i will live, oh, i will live
and the life that He gives is ours
the choice is ours for making
the one limit of His power
'cause love is not for taking
and He wouldn't if He could
'cause He wants me choosing good
so i will love, i will love, oh, i will love
...
oh, the day is arriving soon
to end this world of sinning
brighter than the sun, stars, and moon
because the end is only the beginning
and i shouldn't be afraid
for the promise He has made
that i will live, i will live, oh, i will live
...
i will live forever in paradise
i will live, for my Savior paid my price
i will live forever in paradise
i will live, for my Savior paid my price
