Holy Lyrics!

I BELIEVE (In memory of David Baptista)
Music & Lyrics by Dan Baptista

I may never reach the stars in heaven
I may never live to be a hundred
I may never stake myself any fortune
I may never make to be a lordship

But I know to whom I do belong
And I know that my father is the King of Kings
And it’s with Him that I belong

So many made to riches
So many made to fortunes
So many came to glory
And claimed tomorrow’s future
So many reached for power
In this worlds rushing journey
So many have denied you
Claiming to be little gods

I believe in your awesome power
I believe you love without end
I believe that like you there’s no other
I believe you’re coming to get us

In Your Time
Music & Lyrics by Roy Terry

Walkin’ down the darkened road
I turn the corner and I look at my home
Seems the world is a crazy place
With no time for rest and no time for peace
My mind is a hectic blur
Constantly busy in a whirling world
Oh Lord, it seems I’m losing my mind
Help me Lord to find the time

Time Lord I need to spend it with you
To be in your grace and to be filled too
Time Lord I need to set it aside
To be in your presence to be your child
And this time I must give to you
It’s the only way I can make it through
In this time I must receive from you
The abundant life that in Christ is true
And Lord it is only in your time

Making money only way I know how
So I can have things and things that abound
Having possessions is a sign of success
To bad I haven’t learned to rest
The more I purchase more I fall behind
While the world continues its powerful bind
Oh Lord, we think that this is free
Meanwhile my possessions are possessing me

SECURITY
Music & Lyrics by Roy Terry

The wounded fall
Shattered dreams
Life is real
But we can’t see
Calling all
In coming we see
Terror cries
Through the night they bleed

So what does this mean security
Sacrifice our children
So they can be free
Here we sit
Mortals are we
Captured within our depravity

We’re cryin’ out
The cycle repeats
Rend your hearts
Its garments we seek
Reconciliation
Difficult you see
Bruised and battered
We’ll fight for peace

There is one sacrifice
Love was shared no need to die
To live our fears must die
There is one sacrifice

SILLY GAME
Music & Lyrics by Roy Terry

How many lies must we uphold
When should the truth be left untold
Why do we turn from silent screams
We pad ourselves so religiously

It’s our human arrogance
We’ve claimed creation for ourselves
It’s only good if it fits our plans
We’ve placed eternity in our hands

We live our lives in foolish ways
As if Christ’s death was all in vain
Why do we think we can live our own way
Apart from God it’s just a silly game

How many prophets need to scream
We look at them as if they are weak
They tell us the truth and we turn away
Reality is siege not surrender the day

WHY
Music & Lyrics by Roy Terry

Lookin’ around all the people looking down
All they see is grey it’s the pavement of their day
Not gonna look up for fear they’ll lose their way
Meanwhile creations splendor is passing them away

Oh, I want to know why
The dinner is free but the people walk by
Oh, I want to know why
He gives it all away but they won’t take a dime
Oh, I want to know why
He died for you and me but we make it a crime
He died for you and me for eternal life

If they would only believe that the grace of God is free
Then maybe they could lift their heads and see the rising sun
No complexity all you have to do is receive
And you my friend will truly be set free
And you my friend will truly be set free

Oh Lord, if we really take this step
Will you fill us with love and self-confidence
Guiding us to that place where we can all be free

Oh Lord, our faith is not in ourselves
Help us have faith in your saving hand
Guiding us to that place
Where we can all be free

CONSUME ME
Music & Lyrics by Roy Terry

Holy Spirit come
Spirit set me free
Let your fire burn within
Consume me
Consume me

Holy Spirit breathe on me
May your fruit be born in me
Take this life into your hands
Consume Me
Consume Me

BLACK HEART
Music & Lyrics by JayVah Sebring

Why do I always get so carried away
With all that I do and all that I say?
There’s no getting’ ‘round it,
We’ll all pay a price for the choices
We make for the rest of our life.
Oh, who’s that reflection in the mirror I see?
A ghost from the past, or could it be me?
I don’t remember my eyes so dark;
I don’t recall having such a black heart.

I was cold all over that hot August night
I was sweatin’ and chillin’,
Nothing seemed right;
Wastin’ my life and livin’ a lie,
Drownin’ the truth in a bottle of rye. I was driftin’…

I’m in the world alone, don’t you see?
The world fights dirty and there’s only me.
Some say there’s a Savior;
That sure would be nice;
But what would he want with my
Screwed up life?

I’ve got nothing to offer no friend
Of mine here; no bread for their hunger;
No drink for their fears of life meaning nothing
No reason or rhyme; and day after day just
Puttin’ in time to die here.

I’m still in the world, alone don’t you see?
The world’s just a hangout for people like me.
The Savior I’ve heard of; the one they say’s nice;
Well, I sure as hell need Him – I need Jesus Christ!

ALIVE IN ME
Music & Lyrics by Dan Baptista

Oh under the sea, up in the sky
Out in the car or deep down inside
This feeling is strong, this feeling is fine
I’m no longer lost cause I’ve made Him mine

I always want to praise His name
With a mighty voice we will proclaim
That Jesus is alive in me,
Oh he has set me free
Oh Jesus is alive in me, my friend,
Can’t you see

Some people think that you have to lock yourself
Play the solitary thing or be square
But there’s one lesson that we have to learn
Just be yourself and praise His name
Without any fear

HEART OF THE MATTER (Emily’s Song)
Music & Lyrics by Roy Terry

I don’t care about what you wear
Or how you do your hair
From suits to shorts
It’s all the same to me

Whether you come from Mississippi
Or deep in New York City
Rich or poor it ain’t no care to me

For it’s the heart of the matter
Amidst all the noise and chatter
A passion that wells inside you see
No need for fancy chatter
Or home grown country banter
It’s the life that’s lived means
All the world to me

It’s the heart of the matter
It’s the heart of the matter
It’s the heart of the matter
It’s the life that’s lived means
All the world to me

Not the car you drive
Or the street where you reside
Those things will rust
And blow away you see

The jewelry everywhere
Or the piercings I declare
Inked or clean it ain’t no care to me

WHAT’S IT GONNA BE?
Music & Lyrics by JayVah Sebring

What’s it gonna be between my Lord and me?
Oh, what’s it gonna be; what’s it gonna be?

Do I choose to live my life the way
The world wants me to be?
Yeah, oh what’s it gonna be?

Do I choose to live my life in Christ
And let the world see Him through me?
Oh, what’s it gonna be?

The world is here; the end is near;
It’s pressing on all sides.
It’s only when we give our lives
To Him we realize.

FIRE FROM THE MOUNTAINS
Music & Lyrics by Roy Terry

Fire from the mountains I hear your Holy Name
Raging through the valley it falls on us today

And I will praise you
I will praise your Holy Name

Fire from the heavens consuming everything
Refining that which binds us God’s justice it will bring

And I will praise you
I will praise your Holy Name

I will go where you want me to go
I will serve you my king
I will be what you want me to be
And that’s free

The fires in the valley it rests on us today
Holy Spirit power in you I must proclaim

And I will praise you
I will praise your Holy Name

I NEED THE LIGHT
Music & Lyrics by Dan Baptista

I don’t know the future
I cannot read your mind
Tomorrow may be here again
But tonight you’re still in flight

Candle burning both ends
Time is running out
I need the light

I came to my senses
Everything is gone

She took all my money
And the kids are all alone

Candle burning both ends
Time is running out
I need the light

Living in depression
Not being in control
My life is such a mess Lord
I can feel the nooses hold

Candle burning both ends
Time is running out
I need the light

I can feel the anger
I can feel the rage
Running deep inside me
It’s like being is a cage
C’mon take my hand Lord
C’mon take my life
I can’t live without you
I can’t live without your love
