Fear No Evil

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)

V.1 - Walking in the city streets at night,

 it’s enough to give me a streak of fright

To think somebody might come at me

 with a gun or a knife spill my blood and flee

Why should I fear? The Lord is near. I have His might.

 And I stand for the right.

 

Chorus

I will fear no evil for the Lord is with me

And in His hands I will always be

It is by faith I can truly see

I will fear no evil, for the Lord is with me

 

V.2 – When I think that I’ve made an enemy

 and he wants to make life hard for me

Or a, demon spirit comes around

 casting doubts and fears without a sound

Why should I fear? The Lord is near. I have His might.

 And I stand for the right.

Chorus

Bridge

Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death

Though my enemies compass me about

I’ll have no fear for the Lord gives me rest

And in His closeness I’ll have no doubt!

Guitar Solo    Chorus

Let My People Go

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)

V.1 -   You hold them in bondage you keep them as slaves

You’ll stagger drunk tomorrow but you’re rock stars today

Your fan spread the word for you and you band sounds in their heads

You ask for their love but their money you want instead

They worship you as gods and they follow in your ways

They’ve learned your evil words and rebels they became. And I say to you

Chorus

Let my people go. Let my people go. Let my people go

 

V.2 -   You sit behind your big oak desk with ‘Producer’ on your door

You sign their names as if in blood and continue to ask for more

With dollar signs in your eyes you push them, drive them hard

You become the thing they sing against,

 And that’s what makes them stars

Chorus

Bridge

And the Lord spake unto Moses “Go in unto Pharaoh and say unto him,

 ‘Thus saith the Lord, ‘Let my people that they may serve me.”

 

V.3 – You draw them in with sugar and them you give them salt

You say you know what life is for but devil I know that’s not all

They follow you blindly from behind the gates of hell

I’m knocking at that door Jesus said it can’t prevail

And I’m telling you – devil!

Chorus (Repeat a cappella)

The Risen Christ

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

I’m John on the Isle of Patmos, I was exiled here

I’ve lived in the sufferings of my Lord and He knows every tear

I walked with Him and I heard his words and I know what He said

He’s the Son of God; He’s the Lord of Life who rose from the dead

V 2.

They mocked Him, they smacked Him, they pulled out His beard

They laughed at Him as He spoke the truth. ‘Crucify Him’ they sneered.

They slashed His back, crowned His head with thorns. They nailed Him to the tree.

And though He died, He was raised again like He said He would be.

Chorus

He is the Risen Christ, who carried paradise to be with Him on high, Him who is glorified.

He’s the Lord, He is God Almighty Jesus. He’s the Lord, He is God Almighty Jesus.

V3.

I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day when it came to pass

Said a voice behind me ‘I am Alpha & Omega, the First & the Last’

I turned to see who spoke to me with a voice like the sea.

With eyes of fire, shining like the sun, I knew he must be,

Chorus - Bridge

I didn’t know when I’d see Him again, when I saw Him I knew right then.

This was God the Creator of man. I fell to my face I could no longer stand

Chorus

Rulemaker

• MP3 short clip, hi-fi play (broadband)

Rule Maker

Pharisees and Sadducees made rules that burden men

Christian leaders do it still today

Christ had come to chastise some and show the love of God.

Those leaders heard Him say

 

Chorus     

Rule Maker – You love the role you play

You Faker – Ignoring your own sin

Soul Breaker – You stand in heaven’s doorway

You don’t enter and you won’t let me in

 

Time will tell as hearts will fail when fear overcomes men

Did our leaders tell us what is true?

Christ has said ‘Now do not dread. I’ve overcome the world.

Or will they just blame you

Chorus

Am I going to hell?        Tell me can you tell?

I followed all your rules.        Now you look like fools!

Solo              Chorus
