His Last Days Warriors

Thank you, Lord for, watching over me
For all these many years
For guiding me and showing me
You're greater than all my fears

Another year has come and gone
I pray I've learned from my mistakes
May hundreds be hummin' my songs
And may I do whatever it takes

To point the way to the one who offers
His peace and love and grace
So help me grow and prosper
And run to win the race
Run to win the race

I'll keep on serving Jesus
As I await the final hour
His love it never ceases
He's my fortress n my tower

His mercy brought me this far
His love has dried my tears
I've attached myself to His star
He'll guide the rest of my years
The rest of my years

I have friends who care about me
They're the best I've ever had
Never questioned me or doubted me
When the good times went bad

And I love to share my music
Though it's hard to make it pay
I pray that God someday will use it
To reach those who've gone astray

And I ain't twenty-five
My back's a little stiff
There's lines around my eyes
But I've got a God-given gift

I'll keep on serving Jesus
As I await the final hour
His love it never ceases
He's my fortress n my tower

Another year has come and gone
I pray I'll learn from my mistakes
Help me write some lasting songs
And do whatever it might take

To point the way to the one who offers
His peace and love and grace
So help me to grow and prosper
And run to win the race
Run to win the race!
Run to win the race! 

Run to Win the Race

Oh, what a tangled web we weave
When we set out to fib and deceive
Making our lot look larger than life
So no one spots our darkening eyes

We try to project a life of joy and light
Glossing over annoying hurt and spite
Only showing photos that are sweet n kind
So know one notices we're slowly losing our mind

Now we have new fangled webs we weave
When we set out to fib and mislead
We pretend to be larger than life
So no one questions our far reaching lies

We try to project a life of joy and light
Glossing over annoying hurt and spite
Only showing photos that are sweet n kind
So know one knows we're slowly losing our mind

It's time we drop the facade
Can't fool an all-knowing God
He sees us as we truly are
With all our flaws and scars

He offers us a life of true joy n light
If we'll follow Him with all our might
He's not given us a spirit of fear
But of power, love n a sound mind

It's time we drop the facade
Can't fool an all-knowing God
He sees us as we truly are
With all our flaws and scars

He knows we're but dust
And yet He beckons to us
To give our hearts to God
It's time to drop the facade
Drop the facade
Drop the facade
Drop the facade

Drop the Facade

A grudge can be a heavy load
Too heavy to have and to hold
It can make a heart grow cold
It might be best to let it go

A grudge can truly take it's toll
Crush your love n smudge your soul
A grudge can spoil a great relationship
The best thing to do is pray and forgive

Don't let bitterness spread and fester
Don't let it poison your heart n soul
I ain't tryin' to give you a lecture
But it might be best to let it go

If you find it difficult to forgive n forget
Think of things you did that you regret
The king came and He paid our debt
Where would we be if His blood wasn't shed?

The judge is the only one who knows
What we've been through
And the seeds we've sown
A grudge can truly take it's toll

A grudge can crush your very soul
God loved us so much He paid our toll
A grudge can fester if we let it grow
It's best to just let it go

Don't let bitterness spread and fester
Don't let it poison your heart n soul
I ain't tryin' to give you a lecture
It might be best to just let it go

If you find it difficult to forgive n forget
Think of things you did that you regret
The king came and He paid our debt
Where would we be if His blood wasn't shed?

He sees us as we truly are
With all our flaws and all our scars
If we hold unforgiveness in our hearts
He'll withhold deliverance and we'll be barred
From His kingdom

If you find it difficult to forgive n forget
Think of things you did that you regret
The king came and He paid our debt
Where would we be if His blood wasn't shed?

A grudge can be a heavy load
Too heavy to have and to hold
It can make a heart grow cold
It might be best to let it go

I ain't tryin' to give you a lecture
Don't let unforgiveness spread and fester
Lord, forgive us our debts
as we forgive our debtors

Don't let bitterness spread and fester
Don't let it poison your heart n soul
I ain't tryin' to give you a lecture
It might be best to let it go
It's best to just let it go
Just let it go... 

It's Best to Let it Go

I broke free on a Sunday morning
Put the pedal to the floorboard
Headed for distant shores
I heard the pistons roar

Broken home behind me, steering wheel in my hands
Hopin' someone big'll sign me before my final dance
Revvin' up the engine, just missed that stop sign
Forgot to mention, got stopped by a cop, and fined

That cop, he -- really grilled me
Drivin' top speed really thrilled me
Gonna take the lead, if it kills me
Went to court and pleaded guilty

Felt like a rat trapped in a maze
Was that just a passing phase?
Long been planning my escape
Nothing was standing in my way

So I'd booked a gig in Vegas
Hopin' no one big'll hate us
Then a chick I'd briefly dated
Said my band was underrated

She was great, one of my closest fans
By the break, we were holdin' hands
After the gig, she asked me to dance
I took a swig, then took my chance

I could feel the Scotch inside me hummin'
Got ready for, the cops to come in
But the cops, they never came
Maybe they forgot my name

The cops, they never grilled me
Gonna reach the top, if it kills me
Got so sauced, jumped off the building
Never got top billing

But for God's, amazing grace
I would not, be here today
Thank God, the cops finally came
They thought I'd gone insane

The cops, they really grilled me
That drop, it nearly killed me
The scotch, was not fulfilling
I stopped, then pleaded guilty

The cops, they really grilled me
That drop, it nearly killed me
I was ready and I was willing
I was empty n God filled me

The cops, they really grilled me
That drop, it nearly killed me
I was ready and I was willing
I was empty and He filled me 

If It Kills Me

I was walking down these empty streets
Lost in the clouds, tempted and weak
Every corner I turned, led me more off track
You'd think I'd have learned but lookin' back

I tried to stand but life got in the way
I felt Your hand in the midst of my pain

You heard my cry, You know my name
They pierced Your side, You bore my shame
You paid the price, You broke my chains
To live is Christ, to die is gain

I remember nights I struggled to sleep
I made promises I could never keep
Falling deeper into this hole I made
This lost sheep had gone astray

I was down for the count alone in the dark
When I cried out from my soul n my heart

You heard my cry, You know my name
They pierced Your side, You bore my shame
You paid the price, You broke my chains
To live is Christ, to die is gain

Now I see the ones, the ones who need
The peace and love you gave to me
I see myself in their sullen eyes
Needin' help but too full of pride

Maybe I can be the hand that pulls them up
When their world comes crashin' down
To lift them up when things get tough
And help them turn their life around

You heard my cry, You know my name
They pierced Your side, You bore my shame
You paid the price, You broke my chains
To live is Christ, to die is gain

Every day I wake up new
Knowing what I was made to do
You lifted me high, You lit my flame
To live is Christ, to die is gain 

To Live is Christ, to Die is Gain

Christ came to bring us all good news
The servant king -- He paid our dues
He built a bridge -- we built a wall
He came to save us from the fall

He called a spade a spade
And spoke the gospel truth
He rose from the grave
To bring God's good news

Came to redeem us from the fall
When will we -- heed His call?

It was all in God's perfect plan
He's the only spotless holy lamb
He's the only one who truly can
Forgive our sin and heal our land

The pilgrim's pride, has gone up in flames
He paid the price, to break these chains
Heed our cries and re-light our flame
Stay by our side in Jesus' name

Like Humpty Dumpty -- we sat on the wall
And our country has had a great fall
All the king's horses -- and all the kings men
Can't put this country back together again

If my people who are called by my name
Will humble themselves and seek my face
And turn from their selfish, evil ways
My hand of judgement, I will stay...

He came to redeem us from the fall
When will we -- heed His call?

It was all in God's perfect plan

He's the only one who truly can
Forgive our sin and heal our land

The pilgrim's pride, has gone up in flames
He paid the price, to break these chains
Heed our cries and re-light our flame
Stay by our side in Jesus' name

If my people who are called by my name
Will humble themselves and seek my face
And turn from their selfish, evil ways
My hand of judgement, I will stay...

The pilgrim's pride, has gone up in flames
He gave His life that we might be saved
Please heed our cries n re-light our flame
And stay by our side in Jesus' name

The pilgrim's pride, has gone up in flames
And stay by our side in Jesus' name
He's the only one who truly can
Forgive our sin and heal our land 

Pilgrim's Pride

You came with love pure and true
When I was an immature youth
Simple man with hands that build
You were the lamb that love killed

But here I am, now an old man
Wanting to know Your plan
Wanting to do Your will
Can you use me still?

I pray we'll start to understand
And place our hearts into Your hands
We've gone astray, but we're Your lambs
Break these chains, and save our land

Break these chains we've made ourselves
Save us from the grave and hell
Only Your grace can save our land
We place our hearts into your hands

The flame's been fanned
In Your grace we stand
Break these chains
And save our land

The walls we built so high
Are built of guilt and pride
But the cross on which You died
Will unite and not divide

I pray we'll start to understand
And place our hearts into Your hands
We've gone astray, but we're Your lambs
Break these chains, and save our land

Break these chains we've made ourselves
Save us from the grave and hell
Only Your grace can save our land
We place our hearts into your hands

Only You can save our land
Take our hearts into Your hands
Like lost lambs, we gone astray
But we're calling out today

Break these chains we've made ourselves
Save us from the grave and hell
Only Your grace can save our land
We place our hearts into your hands...

The flame's been fanned
In Your grace we stand
Break these chains
And save our land

If we humble our hearts before You
And turn away from selfish pride
If we pray and seek Your face
You'll be standing by our side

Only You can save our land
We place our hearts into Your hands
If we stand and watch and pray
Your hand of judgement You will stay

Break these chains we've made ourselves
Save us from the grave and hell
Only Your grace can save our land
We place our hearts into Your hands...

The flame's been fanned
In Your grace we stand
Only You can save our land
Only You can save our land 

Break These Chains

I couldn't shake
The nagging ache
Tried to be strong
But somethin' was wrong

The pain wouldn't leave
It's hard to conceive
But I was deceived
By what I believed

All of this time
I worked and I strived
And tried to survive
Believing a lie

I believed everything
They told me
But it was pure BS
They sold me

I wanted to scream n fight
Now I finally see the light
Now I rejoice as I hear
A different voice so clear

I threw stones at first
Only made things worse
I was lost in the crowd
But now I've been found

My pride ran deep
I've made a clean sweep
Now I kneel at Your feet
Help my unbelief

All of this time
I worked and I strived
And tried to survive
Believing a lie

I believed everything
They told me
But it was pure BS
They sold me

I wanted to scream n fight
Now I finally see the light
Now I rejoice as I hear
A different voice so clear

I was mad at the world, couldn't deal with my pain
Mad at things that I couldn't explain
Thought you were frail, thought you were cold
Believed all the tales, that I'd been told

But when I fell down, You picked me up
You turned me around and show me Your love
The scales fell off my blinded eyes
I finally saw through all the lies

My heart of stone became a heart of flesh
I saw life through a different lens

I wanted to scream n fight
Now I finally see the light
Now I rejoice as I hear
A different voice so clear

What I once hated
I now love
What once was lost
I found above

I believed everything
They told me
But it was pure BS
They sold me

I wanted to scream n fight
Now I finally see the light
Now I rejoice as I hear
A different voice so clear

Used to hate
Now I pray
Found my way
Here to stay

I Finally See the Light

I watched the sun rise over wintered streets,
Car horns singing to a restless crowd
Hope lies scattered, splintered at my feet
Faith worn thin beneath a feckless shroud

I spy my neighbor clutching her heart in fear,
And I’m weighed down by my own mistakes
We built up walls between us year after year
Still longing and aching for Your grace...

I keep hearing that still, small voice
Asking me to make a simple choice
Between bitterness and forgiveness
Need to be about our Father's business

Only You can mend
Only You can heal
Only You can put us
On an even keel

They talk on screens about the state we’re in
All the quick fixes won’t make us great again
But I sense a longing in each tired drawn face
We’re thirsty for mercy, in need of Your grace

I’m tired of pointing fingers, tired of the noise
You're the One who gives us cause to rejoice
When will this nightmare - finally end?
Will this affair break us? Or will we bend?

I keep hearing that still, small voice—
Asking me to make a simple choice
Between bitterness and forgiveness
Need to be about our Father's business

Only You can mend
Only You can heal
Only You can put us
On an even keel

If we who are called, lay our failures down
Turn from the ways that led us to flail n drown
You'd cleanse us within and our sin You'd forgive
So our prayers will be heard and we can truly live

Only You can mend
Only You can heal
Only You can put us
On an even keel

Only You
can mend
Only You
can heal
Only You
can put us
On an even keel

Only You can mend
Only You can heal
Only You can put us
On an even keel

An Even Keel

The morning brings more unanswered prayer
Is anybody listening or answering up there?
You said we just had to seek and ask
The heavens seem to be as brass

Lord, You've not heard us when we pray
Like sheep with no shepherd, we've gone astray
We've ignored Your word that You've justly spoken
Please restore the trust that's been crushed and broken

We need to begin again
We need a touch from above
This ain't just about them
It's 'bout me, 'bout you, 'bout us

Like children who've wandered far from home
We've gone way beyond our comfort zone
But still You call us by our name
We're the reason why You came

When did we forget Your grace?
How will we enter your gates?

Lord, You've not heard us when we pray
Like sheep with no shepherd, we've gone astray
We've ignored Your word that You've justly spoken
Please restore the trust that's been crushed n broken

We need to begin again
We need a touch from above
This ain't just about them
It's 'bout me, 'bout you, 'bout us

If my people who are called by my name
Will humble themselves and seek my face
Turn from their wicked, evil ways
Then I will hear them, when they pray

When did we forget Your grace?
How will we enter your gates?

Lord, You've not heard us when we kneel n pray
Like sheep with no shepherd, we've gone astray
We've ignored Your word that You've justly spoken
Please restore the trust that's been crushed n broken

We need to begin again
We need a touch from above
This ain't just 'bout them
It's 'bout me, 'bout you, 'bout us
