Petra - Seen and Not Heard



Words and music by Bob Hartman
Based on Matthew 7:3,5, James 1:2, Matthew 5:16

Too many black sheep in the family
Too many stones from a house of glass
They've heard the story, they've heard the lines
But talk is too cheap to change their minds
They want to see some vital signs

Convictions - in the way we live
Convictions - not a narrative
Actions speak a little louder than words

(Chorus)
Seen and not heard, seen and not heard
Sometimes God's children should be seen and not heard
There's too much talk and not enought walk
Sometimes God's children should be seen and not heard

Delayed reaction to hostility
Brings us into reality
Cause when we answer in our defense
They can see through the false pretense
They want to see some evidence

Commitment - no more alibis
Commitment - not a compromise
Actions speak a little louder than words

Let your light so shine in all you do
With an answer near when they come to you
Don't let your mouth start talkin'
Until your feet start walkin'

Whitecross- Down



The train is in the station now
It's reached the end of the line
Two times a loser you never could refuse her
The lie exposed and the old life
You've left it all behind

You're going down, down, down
She's a master of disguise
You're going down, down, down

When you first started it all seemed like a joke
But then that's always how you've been
Now I hardly know you
The lady she does own you
And now you're finding out
You're finding out the joke's on you my friend

You're going down, down, down
Don't you realize
You're going down, down, down

What would you do to get another hit
And sniff the powder once again
Before you burn out and fade away
Cry out to Jesus
Only the Lord can take your sin away

White cross- Because of Jesus



Because of Jesus I have peace of mind
Because of Jesus I'm no longer blind
Because of Jesus old things have passed away
Because of Jesus you can start again today

Still I don't understand his love the love he has for me
I just know one simple fact he died to set me free
When I see that I have fallen I just go to him

Because Jesus is the only one who can take away my sin
Because of Jesus I have peace of mind
Because of Jesus I'm no longer blind
Because of Jesus old things have passed away
Because of Jesus you can start again today

There were times I thought that he had left me on my own
I have learned how much he loves me and now, now I know
That I am like a jewel to him and he watches over me
And he is so concerned about me that he will never leave

Because of Jesus my old life is gone
Because of Jesus instead of being weak I'm strong
Because of Jesus all things have been made new
Because of Jesus I have come to know the Truth

Matthew Ward - Consume Me



Consume Me Oh Lord, My God
Consume Me Oh Lord, My God

For your ways are better than my ways
And your thoughts much higher than mine
And the light you give is much stronger
Than anything that I hold on to
Anything I leave behind

Consume Me Oh Lord, My God
Consume Me Oh Lord, My God

To understand is better than silver
And your wisdom much finer than gold
And the light you give is far brighter
Than any darkness that surrounds me
Than anything that might take hold

Consume Me Oh Lord, My God
Consume Me Oh Lord, My God

Let me dwell within your presence
Let me know your ways
Let me learn to let go of my will
Let me drown in the river that is flowing from your heart

Oh Lord, My God,
Consume Me, Oh Lord, My God
Consume Me, Oh Lord, My God
Consume Me, Oh Lord, My God

Holy Fire burn my heart
Leave behind your precious gold
Holy Fire burn my heart
Leave behind your precious gold

Consume Me Oh Lord, My God
Consume Me Oh Lord, My God
Consume Me Oh Lord, My God

Casting Crowns - American Dreams



All work no play may have made Jack a dull boy
But all work no God has left Jack with a lost soul
But he's moving on full steam
He's chasing the American dream
And he's gonna give his family the finer things

Not this time son I've no time to waste
Maybe tomorrow we'll have time to play
And then he slips into his new BMW
And drives farther and farther and farther away

So He works all day and tries to sleep at night
He says things will get better;
Better in time

And he works and he builds with his own two hands
And he pours all he has in a castle made with sand
But the wind and the rain are comin' crashing in
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
His kingdom stands

His American Dream is beginning to seem
More and more like a nightmare
With every passing day
"Daddy, can you come to my game?"
"Oh Baby, please don't work late."
Another wasted weekend
And they are slipping away

'Cause he works all day and lies awake at night
He tells them things will get better
It'll just take a little more time

He used to say, "Whoever dies with the most toys wins"
But if he loses his soul, what has he gained in the end
I'll take a shack on the rock
Over a castle in the sand
Now he works all day and cries alone at night
It's not getting any better
Looks like he's running out of time
'Cause he worked and he built with his own two hands
And he poured all he had in a castle made with sand
But the wind and the rain are coming crashing in
Time will tell just how long his kingdom stands
His kingdom stands

All they really wanted was You
All they really wanted was You
All they really wanted was You
