Out with malice, out with deceit,
Out with the envy, hypocrisy retreat.
We crave the Word, like babes at the table,
Gotta grow up strong, in His truth we’re able.

Oh, taste and see, the Lord is good,
We’re built to stand, just like He would.
Every stone placed by the Master’s hand,
We’re a royal race, we take a holy stand.

Living stones, we’re a spiritual house,
A royal priesthood, with hearts ablaze.
Out of the darkness, into the light,
We proclaim His praises, day and night.

He’s the cornerstone, they cast aside,
Yet in Him alone, we abide.
Chosen and honored, never put to shame,
God’s holy nation, we bear His name.

Oh, taste and see, the Lord is good,
We’re built to stand, just like He would.
Every stone placed by the Master’s hand,
We’re a royal race, we take a holy stand.

Living stones, we’re a spiritual house,
A royal priesthood, with hearts ablaze.
Out of the darkness, into the light,
We proclaim His praises, day and night.

Oh, the mercy we’ve been shown,
Once redeemed, we became God’s own.
We proclaim the praises high,
For our Savior, we testify.

Living stones, we’re a spiritual house,
A royal priesthood, with hearts ablaze.
Out of the darkness, into the light,
We proclaim His praises, day and night.

Living stones, living stones,
We’re built together, never alone.
A chosen race, a holy call,
In His kingdom, we stand tall.

Living Stones

Sin entices, but truth is clear
Be filled with the Spirit, draw near
This is the hour to rise and stand
The Word of God is in your hand

Turn aside, deny the lure, expose the painted lie
Discernment speaks with holy fire, and lifts your vision high
It whispers not, it roars with light
"You reign with Christ, take up the fight"
Faith is bold, it sees through all
And topples idols that would enthrall

Stand on the Rock, on Christ the Lord
Not shaken by the serpent’s word
The trap is dressed in fleeting gold
But truth breaks through, the lies unfold
Abide in God, speak what is right
Faith overcomes, empowered by light

The flesh may shout, but faith is sure
It calls the bluff, it finds the cure
"It’s just a glance," the devil lies
But Christ has crushed him where he hides
Each sin unveiled, no strength remains
Its promises are empty chains
So fix your mind, advance ahead
You are alive, no longer dead

Stand on the Rock, on Christ the Lord
Not shaken by the serpent’s word
The trap is dressed in fleeting gold
But truth breaks through, the lies unfold
Abide in God, speak what is right
Faith overcomes, empowered by light

Not by fear, not by flight
But by the Spirit and His might
You crush the foe by speaking true
The Word prevails in all you do

Stand on the Rock, on Christ the King
He gives you strength in everything
Though sin may dress in soft deceit
The power of God cannot be beat
Declare the Word, refuse the night
You reign with Christ, clothed in His might

Stand and speak
Now’s the time
Be filled
With power divine

[PH RF RV01]

Truth Breaks Through

On the corner of Hope and Main
I saw a stranger stop to pray
With someone broken, down and waiting
And in that moment, pain just faded away
Through simple words of faith and grace
I watched two hearts find their place
In God's presence, time suspended
As peace descended on that space

When I hear Jesus' name
Everything changes
Simple words carry power
Ancient ways still amazing

Your name still breaks the silence
Moving through these streets today
Your name still breaks the silence
And I can't look away

At the shelter on Tuesday night
Where doubt and faith collide and sway
A woman stands, her arms raised higher
Her blindness and cancer just fall away
Such miracles in morning light
When hope returns to tired eyes
In quiet rooms and busy hallways
Your Spirit mightily arrives

I don't need to search the heavens
You're as close as my next breath
Every prayer a sacred moment
Every heart beat testament
That You're still here
Still moving mountains
Still here
Making all things new

Your name still breaks the silence
Moving through these streets today
Your name still breaks the silence
And I can't look away

Through the years
You're still moving mountains
Through the years
Jesus, You remain

[RF01 RM2]

And I Can't Look Away

Three blind mice, three blind mice,
Marching proud but cold as ice.
One is the Atheist, bold and dry,
One is the Satanist, grinning a lie,
One is the Cessationist, stiff in his chair,
All blindfolded, unaware.

The Atheist scoffs, “There’s nothing above,”
Mocks the cross and rejects love.
Says all we see is all there is,
But shivers when he hears “He lives.”
He builds with pride, rejects the Word,
Then stumbles when his mind is blurred.

Three blind mice, can’t see the King,
Stumble round while angels sing.
They rage, they hide, they claim to know,
But miss the Word that won’t let go.
Three blind mice, they scoff, they fall—
But Jesus reigns above them all.

The Satanist laughs, “Do what you will,”
While gnawing fear he can’t sit still.
He trades his breath for fleeting might,
And curses glory, truth, and light.
But even he must bow one day,
When every lie gets burned away.

Three blind mice, they twist, they flee,
But none escape from Calvary.
They spin, they grin, they preach, they stall,
But Jesus reigns above them all.

The Cessationist wears a steady frown,
Says the Spirit’s work has all shut down.
He trims the Word to fit his box,
Then wonders why the door still locks.
But God’s not bound by man’s decree,
His fire burns eternally.

One shuts the Maker out with pride,
One runs to darkness, opens wide.
One dims the flame, then shrugs and waits—
But truth still walks through every gate.

Three blind mice, three blind mice,
Chose their path, ignored the price.
But Christ still stands, His Word won’t fall—
He reigns in power, Lord of all.
Three blind mice, their march will end,
But truth was never theirs to bend.

Three blind mice, hush your sound,
The Word still speaks, the King is crowned.

Three Blind Mice

Watch her move with purpose now
Her hands creating beauty from the ordinary
Not seeking praise or recognition
But wisdom guides each careful step

Beyond what eyes can see
There's strength that comes from bended knee
In reverence to the Lord above

More precious than the finest gems
Your worth comes from a higher place
Not measured by the world's acclaim
But by the wisdom in your grace

She opens wide her arms to those in need
No hesitation in her giving
The poor find shelter in her kindness
While others turn away, she stays

Beyond what time can fade
There's power in the choices made
In reverence to the Lord divine

More precious than the finest gems
Your worth comes from a higher place
Not measured by the world's acclaim
But by the wisdom in your grace

Let others chase what fades away
Empty praise and passing beauty
But you've found truth that stands through ages
In courage, strength, and faithful duty

Your actions keep with your words
A legacy of faith and power
The Lord has shaped your steady heart
And wisdom flows through every hour

More precious than the finest gems
Your worth comes from a higher place
Not measure by the world's acclaim
But by the wisdom in your grace

The Wisdom Of Her Grace

Hammer in hand at the break of day
Jesus guide these hands as I find my way
Through wooden beams and iron nails
Building Your house where Your love prevails
Each board I place with careful thought
Reminds me of the truth You taught
That faith like this grows piece by piece
Till every heart finds sweet release

Higher than the highest beam
We're building something you can't see
Stone by stone and prayer by prayer
Your kingdom rising in the air

The foundation's laid in solid ground
Like the trust in You that I have found
Each rafter raised toward the sky
Is another soul lifted high
The walls we frame will shelter all
Who answer to Your loving call
And though my arms might tired be
This work's exactly where I should be

Higher than the highest beam
We're building something you can't see
Stone by stone and prayer by prayer
Your kingdom rising in the air

From up here I see it clear
All the lives that gather near
Every nail and every board
Points to something so much more
Than just a building standing tall
It's Your love that holds it all

The steeple points toward heaven's gate
While down below the people wait
To fill these halls with joyful praise
And lift their hearts through coming days
I'm just a builder with these tools
But You're the architect of souls
And as this church takes form and shape
I see Your victory in this place

Higher than the highest beam
We're building something you can't see
Stone by stone and prayer by prayer
Your kingdom rising in the air

Toward Heaven's Gate

Worries go poof
God is never aloof
When you go by what you know
Feelings can’t rock the boat

If Satan’s lies spiral down down down
The Spirit lifts us up up up
Sound logic shines like the noonday Son
True strength like obedience done

Up up up
Overflowing the cup
Teaching us
Speaking to us
His Spirit fills and lifts us up
Love love love
Overflowing us with love
He sets the pace
We hold our place
Running the race with eyes on above

Reality is His Word
He reminds us what we’ve heard
When you are at a crossroad
He gives you a third road

The world says “feel,” but He says “know”
The Spirit leads where peace will grow
Not hype, not pride, not empty dreams
But perfect trust in higher things

Up up up
Overflowing the cup
Teaching us
Speaking to us
His Spirit warms, He lifts us up
Love love love
Overflowing us with love
Faith is loud
Wiping out doubt
We stand firm and won’t give up

[PH SU2B RF03]

Up Up Up

They wanted the form, but not the real thing
They love the slogans, not what the Word brings
They slap disclaimers on every miracle
Then censor truth when it gets political

They marched for the unborn, loud in the street
But when the sick cried out, they stayed in their seat
They post with conviction, they shout in pride
But duck the Spirit when He won’t stay tied

They say “God is love” — if it fits their plan
Then cut out the parts where He moves by hand
They quote the law, then roll their eyes
When tongues and healing refuse to die

Is marching more holy than preaching the Word?
Are feelings more sacred than truth they once heard?
Is being green better than the Spirit’s call?
They traded the gospel for football and fall
They shout for the world, but silence the Son
Now the Spirit is moving — they’d better not run

They judged the world but not their doubt
They picked the Word apart and left the Spirit out
They called out sinners, bold on stage
But locked up everyone with a man-made cage

They’ll come from the east, come from the west
Sit with the fathers while they protest
They thought He was soft, polite, and sweet
But He warned of fire and gnashing teeth

“Oh, we don’t do miracles — that’s not sound”
But they’re fine with a doctrine that’s tradition-bound
“We don’t cast out demons, we debate instead”
Then cast out the prophets and raise the Westminster dead

Is marching more holy than preaching the Word?
Are feelings more sacred than truth they once heard?
Is being green better than the Spirit’s call?
They traded the gospel for football and fall
They shout for the world, but silence the Son
Now the Spirit is moving — they’d better not run

If we say we believe, then believe it all\
Even when it won’t fit their protocol
Same measure...
God never asked for changes at all

Football and Fall

Morning came and the Word was clear
“Build the ark—judgment’s near”
Not a cloud, not a sound in sight
But I moved by faith, not sight
Seven pairs of clean and true
Two by two, the others too
They mocked, they laughed—but I stood fast
God’s Word will hold me to the last

Every creature finds its place
God is moving, full of grace
No charade, no masquerade
This is real, and I'm obeying

Seven days to trust
Seven days to know
God's got a plan and it's time to go
Seven days of praise
Seven days to grow
Holding to His Word, come rain or cold

Wood and pitch, a holy task
Every nail holds what God asked
Family's with me, stepping in
Rain is coming, flood begins
Birds and beasts in perfect time
Nature moves by God's design
They call me crazy, I don’t care
I walk with God—He's always there

Trust and fear God’s decree
Ark of mercy covers me
Judgment falls, but not on me
God remembers, sets me free
Faith obeys
Through the waves
Covenant made
A world remade

Seven days to trust
Seven days to know
God's got a plan and it's time to go
Seven days of praise
Seven days to grow
Holding to His Word, come rain or cold

God remembers all eight souls
Guides the ark to safe control
New creation, we believe
By His Word, we’re meant to be

Seven Days To Go

Jesus stood, no pulpit raised
Just the hillside, crowd amazed
He asked, “Would your own child’s wish
Be answered with a stone, not fish?”

“You know even as earthly parents yourselves
You give good gifts from kitchen shelves
So tell me why you think the Lord
Would twist your prayer or break accord?”

You ask for fish, God will give you fish
You ask for bread, God will give you bread
He’s a God who lavishes on his children
He is kinder than earthly parents
He is our Father of Lights

But some folks preach with sideways eyes
Say pain's a gift. In a holy disguise
They serve a god who’ll bait and switch
Like Jōb’s friends with a polished pitch

But Jesus taught with bold delight
Said, "Pray, and you'll receive it right"
He didn’t hedge or complicate
He knew His Father, knew His state

You ask for healing, God gives you healing
You ask for going debt-free, God makes you free
If you ask, He will even give you riches to lend
He is kinder than earthly parents
He is our Father of Lights

Don’t listen to absurd teachings
That suffering is God's decision to teach us something
Pain is never His will
Never justify failure
Never justify disappointment
Faith gives exactly what we ask
This is Jesus' theology
In wonderful simplicity

You ask for peace, He gives you peace
You ask for joy, He gives increase
He’s not the god who mocks or hides
He answers plainly, no double sides
He is our Father of Lights

Jesus knew the Father best
He told us straight, forget the rest
When you ask, He gives, no disguise
He is our Father of Lights
