All We Like Sheep (Isaiah 53:6)

What if God in His sovreign will would of chosen not...to save us, we all would be lost. If it is God who wills and not man, then that leaves us completely in God's Hands.

(Chorus) All We Like Sheep have gone astray. Each of us have turned to our own way. If not for God's irrisistable grace, that draws us to Himself, we would not be saved.

No one seeks after God, no not one. They've all rejected Jesus Christ the Son. And unless God draws them, then no one can come. So its obvious, Hes only chosen some. (Chorus x 3)

Before The Throne

Chosen (Romans 9:)

Music by Drew Hodge, Words by Hodge & Morgan Cryar

I tell you truth, it is no lie. My conscience pure in God's own eyes. With heavy sorrow, weighing on my heart. For I wish I could take this curse on my brother's part. Not as though the Word of God had no effect, but because they were not all elect.

(Chorus) Some were chosen, some were not. For the purpose and the will of God. How could God, so holy and so just, choose to save sinners such as us?

Two brothers born, the very same day. One God would love, and the other hate. Long before, their works were done, God said "The older shall serve the younger one."

'How could God still find fault?' , you may say. Don't you know the potter has power over the clay?

Chorus x2

Follow The Light

Fountain (Psalms 1:1, John 1:4

Blessed is He who delights in the law of the Lord, all day and all night. Who finds their hope only in the blood of Jesus that covers our sin. So come, drink and live. And taste the life He gives.

(Chorus) For He is a fountain of a living water, come and drink, and thirst no longer. He is the bread of life that satisfys all of me for all of time.

Blessed is He who rests in the perfect love of Jesus. So make Him your all, and He will be all and everything you will ever need. So knock and come inside, let Christ be your guide.

(Chorus) So come drink and live, and taste the life He gives. (Chorus x3)

Gershom (Ex. 2:22, Hebrews 11:13)

I don't know how I got here. My steps I cannot trace, but there must be some reason why I was put here in this place.

I know this is not my home. I know this is not my home.

(Chorus) I am a stranger in this land. But I won't be here long, so I might as well stand. And while living in this world I will try to lend a hand...because I am a stranger in this land.

I will work to over come all the trials that I can. And as long as I am breathing, lemme be a Godly man. Yeah.

I know this is not my home. Yes I know this is not my home.

Chorus

God Does All Things Well (Mark 7:37, Psalms 115:3, Psalms 135:6)

"Who are we to say why, when our plans fail and our ambitions die? Because God does all things well, and if we had it our way, we would surely fail.

(Chorus) Because God does all things well, and even in our suffering and in our cry for help. His plan is best for us, His will is sovreign over us, because God does all things well.

It is so easy to doubt, to turn away from Him and block Him out...but who are we to question him, Our own creator, through whom we exist?

Where were you when I created everything? How can you complain, when I give you the air that you breathe?

Chorus

Great God

Thy throne eternal ages stood, no seas or stars were made. Thou art the ever living God, now and forever the same.

(Chorus) Great God, how infinite art Thou. What worthless worms are we. Let the whole race of creatures bow and pay their praise to The.

Eternity with all its years, stands present in thy view. To The theres nothing old appears. Great God, theres nothing new.

Chorus x2

Our lives through various scenes are drawn, and vexed with trifling cares. While thou eternal thought moves on, and thy undisturbed affairs.

Chorus x2

Great Is The Lord (Psalms 96:4)

God there is none like You. Your sovreign hand reaches all. You are perfect in all You do. On Your unchanging will I fall.

(Chorus) For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised. Let all nations sing glory to His name.

May Your name be made great. Throughout every land. Come let all people say its Your Word that will stand. It will stand!

Chorus

And when the heavens open wide, and I see my Savior's face...and the glory lights the sky, my hands I'll raise! I will praise the Lord high, on high, on high!

Chorus x2

How I love to sing Your prasie and rasie my hands to the sky. There is no song too great for You, nor a thought that is too high.

If You Believe (John 10:25-30, John 17:9)

Believe and Live, love God and do as you please. For if Christ is near, and God's Grace is clear, then your heart will lead you on. Did Christ stand for you on the cross? Because His Blood will not be in vain. He did not come, just to make a way, but to save. (Chorus) If you believe, then He held your name up on that tree. If you believe, then God has placed it in your heart. If God has intervened, then you have been set a part. Did Christ stand for you? He did if you believe. Christ took my place, on the cross. Yes, He paid the price I could not pay. And He swept away, everything that came against those He calls His own. Where do you stand? On which side of the line do you fall? There is NO in between, and my hands are now clean. For you know that you must call. Chorus ©Copyright 2000 Drew Hodge, ASCAP

In Spite of Me

Last Days (2 Timothy 3:1-5, Hebrews 1:1-2)

We've been here for two thousand years, living in the very last days. You can see all the signs and wonders that tell us that the end is on the way. Take serious the things I say, for the Word of God is truth. For Jesus is coming back some day, and what will He say to you?

Well done, my faithful one, I have called you here. Your work on earth is done, I want to draw you near.

(Chorus) Our greatest days will be our last. When Jesus comes down and erases my past. When earth and all will be cast away, our finest hour will come on that day, it will come on that day.

Who can deny this revelation, that comes to everyone? Oh Lord, my God, prepare my soul for the things to come.

So I'll take the Word of God, and turn it inside out. And find out for my SELF, just what He's talking about.

Chorus

My God (Jer. 31:33)

O believer, how can you say...you have nothing to show? You were chosen so that you may walk upon streets of gold. Why do we say we have no gifts, yet hold the greatest gift of all? Called a child of the most high God, and labeled with a Holy Call........

I am His, and He is mine. He knew my name before time. He calls me "child", I call Him "God". I'm here to let my light shine. Don't miss out, if you believe. There's way more to God than you and me, yeah!

God is good, and God is great, but do not under estimate, His sovreignty over you and me. There's so much more to celebrate! We don't deserve the grace that He gives, so how can we not live for Him? Yeah!

So fall on your face, before His amazing grace. For He is the one, who called you as His son.

No Other Name (Acts 4:12)

(Chorus) There is No Other Name by which men must be saved, No Other Name is given. There is No Other Name by which men must be saved, No Other Name but the name of Jesus.

Today is the day of salvation, one is one day too late. Repent and flee from the wrath to come, and call upon Jesus' name. Look unto Him, all the ends of the earth. Look unto Him and be changed. Look unto Him every tribe and tongue. Look unto Jesus and be changed.

So drop all you have and follow Him, and give up Your self and live for Him. For Him!

(Chorus)

Come unto Him all who are weary, and He will give you rest. Trust in the name above all names, and live the life that is best.

So drop all you have and follow Him, and give up Your self and live for Him. For Him!

(Chorus x3)

Not Unto Us (Psalms 115:1-2)

Lord, we recognize Your presence. Oh Lord, we stand in awe. How we long to see Your glory and Your grace upon us fall. Because You are worthy, and You are God.

(Chorus) Not unto us, Not unto us, but to Your name give Glory, Not unto us, Oh Lord. Not unto us, not unto us, but to your name give glory, Not unto us, Oh Lord.

Forgive our vain intentions, for You alone will be. Because You are in the heavens and do as You please. Because You are worthy, and You are God.

Chorus

Because of your mercy, Because of Your truth.

Interlude

Chorus

©Copyright 2000 Drew Hodge, ASCAP Only Hope "For I've found the truth, and the truth has set me free" isn't in the song. Why that is there, we don't know. Sorry! Ordained A Reason (Job 2:10, Lam. 3:37-38, Romans 9:20) There's a reason for your pain. You may not understand how a God so good, could allow this quick sand to pull me down. You may not have the answer now, but God is in control. (Chorus) God has ordained a reason for everything. His purpose is greater than all of your worries, God has ordained a reason for everything. The will of God is perfect, His purpose will NOT fail. No No No No....your own desires and emotions can not conflict with His will. If this concept does not stick, then remember this, God is in control. He's in control. Chorus x2 ©Copyright 2001 Drew Hodge, ASCAP Out of the Depths Piece of Grace (Romans 7:7, Ephesians 2:8-9) I am so indifferent to the things of God. My mind is at enmity with Him. I don't want to read, I don't want to sing to Him. If you think this ain't you, then you had better take a look again. Yeah, ya better take a good look again. (Chorus)For it is only through the law, and its only by God's perfect grace, that would put me on my face. Through these tears, God, I cry, thank you for a piece of grace. My corrupt ears do not want to listen. My tainited eyes do not want to see. Me carnal mind does not want to think of Him. When will You change me? WHY did You choose me? I can not find my way, I can not come to You. Chorus Through grace I am made clean, by God given faith, and not by anything that I have done. While I was dead in my sins, unable to come, You drew me to Yourself. Chorus ©Copyright 2000 Drew Hodge, ASCAP

Pocket (Deut. 10:17, Is. 46:9, Is. 55:9)

I'm gonna tell you something I may need to explain. Some of you may not be able to retain...or comprehend the words that I say. I hope you understand what I'm tellin' you today. There's a low view of God and IT MAKES ME SICK. If you believe the Word of God, then consider this: You should know my God is great, but even if you don't; He doesn't need a thing from you, He does what He wants!

(Chorus) God's too big for your pocket or any box in your mind. We cannot contain all He is inside. Lord, we come together, with one voice we cry. Lord, we are not worthy to live this life.

Remember what I said about thos tiny lil views? A lil God like that is only keepin' you confused. So, here I go, right here, right now, tellin' you again...About my great God and how he conqured over sin. All we're gonna do is fall on our face and sing. Grateful heart and bended knee is all that we can bring. To the ground we go, were cryin out to Him. Seated on the throne he is everywher the King!

Chorus x2

Praise The Lord (Psalms 103:)

Praise the Lord, oh my soul. And all that is within me, bless His holy name. Praise the Lord, oh my soul. And all that is within me, praise the Lord.

Who forgives, (my sin). Who heals (within). Who redeems my life from destruction. Who crowns (with grace). Who shows (His face) to those in need of compassion.

Praise the Lord, oh my soul. And all that is within me, bless His holy name. Praise the Lord, oh my soul. And all that is within me, praise the Lord.

Who forgives, (my sin). Who heals (within). Who redeems my life from destruction. Who crowns (with grace). Who shows (His face) to those in need of compassion.

For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy towards me!

Praise the Lord, oh my soul! And all that is within me, bless His holy name. Praise the Lord, oh my soul.

And all that is within me, praise the Lord. (x2)

Sound of Truth

Sweet King Jesus

Buried in shadows of the night we lie til Christ restores the light. Wisdom decends to heal the blind, and chase the darkness out of the mind.

(Chorus) Sweet King Jesus, our wisdom and righteousness. Oh come Lord and free us unto joy and holiness.

Our guilty souls are drowned in tears til His atoning blood appears. Then we awake from deep destress and sing the Lord, our righteousness.

Chorus x4

Buried in shadows of the night, we lie til Christ restores the light. Wisdom descends to heal the blind and chase the darkness out of the mind.
