Time Machine 04:10
I wish I had a time machine! I wish I had a time machine! Verse 1 "Four score and twenty'" a great man said, telling how it used to be. Over the field of the injured and dead, lives were lost for men to be free. He talked about the future. He talked about the past. And what it means for you and for me. "Was it good or bad?" I'm kinda glad you asked. I think I know a way I can see. I wish I had a time machine! Chorus With a Time Machine can we stop the fight? Can we travel back just to make it right? Will we then turn the dark to light? I wish I had a time machine! I wish I had a time machine! Verse 2 Words can be sharper than a two-edged knife. A shadow where my friend once stood. They cut my ties. They numbed my life. I just want to get back to the good. My partner is offended. My guilty feelings real. Is this connection gone for good? My friend would be defended. My stupid words repealed Going back I know that I would. I wish I had a time machine!! Chorus > Bridge I don't practice vengeance. I believe in lessons learned. His cross and His forgiveness - rebuild my bridges burned. Solo Chorus > End SALVATION IS A TIME MACHINE!

Blind Sided 04:24
V1 Living - like I'm gonna be king. But in this court I can win or lose. Every prince has to pay his dues. Feeling - like this is the thing! But since every king will have his time. Moving up is so sublime. - I still have to choose! Pre-Chorus Crashing - Smashing - Bashing Chorus Lightning bolts and I'm Blind-sided I can't see to get my way through Thunder booms and I'm Blind-sided I can't believe it. Can this be true? - What do I do?! V2 Giving - every chance to the deal. I've been waiting for so long. I know that this one can't be wrong. Reeling - knowing it's gonna seal. With this win I'll be set for good. Keep your promise like you should. - I'm singing a song! Pre-Chorus Lying - Spying - Prying Chorus Bridge I never saw this coming around. I find no help as I stare at the ground If I look up will I find the way? I know I can. It's time to pray! Chorus > Outro Tsunamis arise - Twisters blow - Icebergs appear Volcanoes erupt - Landslides fall - The Earth quakes Oh No! What do I do?!

Take Flight 05:49
V1 What do you think is beautiful? What do you think is good? What do you think can beat you, or reach you? Tell me now if you could Explain to me what matters Explain to me what's first Explain to me what brings a smile that stays a while Explain to me what hurts Pre-Chorus Where do we find light in darkness? Where do we find peace in war? For answers to the questions we dare ask - WHERE? Chorus If I show the way, if I say the words, if I tell the truth will you now hear? Will you turn your face, or take flight as birds? Will you believe His Word and now draw near? V2 What do you think of purity? What do you think is right? What do you think brings joy to you, that's deep and true? The difference is day and night. Explain to me what matters Explain to me what's truth Explain to me what makes it real that you can feel Show me now what's your proof Pre-Chorus Chorus Solo Bridge We all dream and hope for life. We all like to sing a song. Heaven help us sing it right. Heaven help us sing along.

(Chorus) If you like what we're singing give a shout! YEAH! If you like what you're hearing give a shout! YEAH! If what we are saying is what you're believing If you like what we're doing give a shout! YEAH! V1 We were sent to play a song We don't want to play it wrong We make it real and true. We brought it just for you If you feel like we do, SHOUT STRONG! (Chorus) V2 You've been through so much we can tell You need to get up if you fell You know what's real and true. You know just what to do. It's time to give ol' sluefoot some hell! (Bridge) There's a fire inside, You should never hide You should never tame, We can feed the flame!

V1 - The golden hawk, majestically, soars high above the trees. He looks across the open land - strong, proud and free. He cries out to his brothers, all those who would hear. He finds there are no others, his heart starts to fear And the crows gather their forces... Chorus The Crows chase the Hawk. The Hawk has to flee We harden our hearts. Why can't we see? The crows chase the hawk and the hawk has to flee This is how we walk. This is you and me! V2 - The dark-skinned man works frantically, repairing his car. Surroundings say ‘by nightfall, you should be very far’ He calls out to his brother. ‘Man, pick up the phone!’ Then he thinks he sees another, he must face alone. And the crows gather their forces... Chorus V3 - The pale-skinned man bikes hurriedly – courier en route. ‘Your kind don’t belong here. Soon you'd best be out!’ He radios another, ‘Messenger, come in!’ He hears there is no other. Terror grows within. Bridge And the crows gather their forces. And they light upon his head. The hawk flies with all his might. His spirit fills with dread. Chorus > Outro He made us to embrace. He made us to enjoy. Each other! Each other!

V1 High atop the mountain he stands His armor on, his shining weapons in his hands He sees the fight and steps into the fray A soldier's part, this war he fights today. Pre-Chorus Joy in his heart and Purpose in his mind Chorus Stepping in - to the battle, Standing up - to the foe Taking on – every challenge, As a messenger we go In to win! V2 Darkness raids as the messenger defends. And then a different pain - a dagger from his friends. Man is not our enemy today. Exhausted, broken, bleeding heart. He has nothing to say. Pre-Chorus Peace in his heart and Resolve in his mind Chorus Bridge Bread of life - heal me Light of the world - show me Water of life - revive me Wind of the Spirit - take me! Solo Bridge Chorus Reprise High atop the mountain he returns
7.
V1 He's dealing death and pillaging. He's forcing fear and hate We think that there's no way we're going to win. We think that it's our fate. I get on my knees. I feel the power! V2 Stalking after midnight, will the devil get to me? He always has me in his sights. What will he see? I'm on my knees. I feel the power! Chorus He wants to kill. He wants to steal. We want to fight. Victory to seal. I wanna be satan's Nightmare! I wanna be satan's Nightmare! Interlude V3 I'm humbled now before the Lord. To only Him I yield. I grip the mighty, holy sword. scratch can't crack my shield. I've been on my knees. I feel the power! Chorus V4 Battle he's breathing threats | and tries to scare | tries to make a deal. I resist his lies | and show him where | one day he too will kneel he'll be on his knees, OVER-POWERED!

When I Go 04:24
V1- You're living life, open every door And then all that life has in store - can be erased away Where do you turn when you're hope is gone? What do you do when there is no dawn - arising today? You always know every task. You always know just what to ask. ... a father's love shows the way Now you say 'It's the end'. Your last token now to spend, Dad - why can't you stay? Chorus Remember how, remember what I say to you every day Remember us, remember me when I go away, ... to life V2 - I walk with you, hand in hand. You see my footsteps in the sand. You're never alone. I give you ears when you cannot hear I give you eyes so that you can peer into the unknown You are my father, mother too. You are my sister, brother. You ... are the Truth, Life, the Way. You offered up the wine, the bread. I know you're not among the dead You do just what You say! Chorus Bridge - Life is for living, Life is for choosing Life is for winning, Even when we're losing

V1 You always promise a better life You always promise a better day You say that this is the time. There is a better way Ask for my vote, and say there will be change Ask for my vote, and say I will be freed Tell me the truth - if you can, is this a word or deed? Tell me the truth - if you can, is it the change I need? Chorus You might be lying To somebody but it's not to me! I think you lie To yourself now but you just don't see - yourself! V2 Always a promise and you shake my hand Always a promise that you can't keep Ask me to trust you then demand that I be one of your sheep With busy lips you stand up and speak With busy lips kiss a baby's cheek Repeating words from your mouth like a parrot’s beak Repeating words that seem to change from week to week Chorus x 2 >Bridge You act like a savior l You can't save my soul Your bad behavior l Digs you a deeper hole

Anchor 03:55
V1 A morning sunlight rises glowing through the trees The brilliant autumn colors shining from the changing leaves I say that there is no god. It's what the human sees And I'm TELLING you that only a fool believes Seeing is believing Chorus Time immemorial the battle for the mind Try to explain the beginning of mankind What we believe to the end and from the start What we believe is the anchor of our heart V2 A baby looks upon his loving mother's face To calm the hurting pang, to show his life some grace. I met The Maker and He heard me just the same. He changed me inside out and He took away the blame. Believing is seeing Chorus Solo Bridge We can't deny - Breath and strife We can't deny - Death and life

Last Supper 04:53
V1"Go into the city to such a man, tell him my time is at hand I’ll keep the Passover in your room." Is the night, a night of gloom? Peter, James, John & Andrew, Judas Iscariot, Simon and Jude – all the twelve did go He gave them the word but they did not hear. He even told them that His death was near – but they did not know CHORUS He was in their midst, for a short time, and He shined so bright The Last Supper with His friends, He poured His life out on that night V2 He broke the bread and He gave the wine, His last drink of the fruit of the vine He dipped the sop and revealed the one, who would betray Him; perdition’s son "What you do, do quickly now." He slipped into the shadows with thoughts of how – they would capture Him "You will be offended in me this night. They’ll smite the Shepherd and you’ll run with fright – you’ll deny you know me" CHORUS Bridge What would the prince of darkness do, if with his evil plot he knew That killing off the Pascal Lamb would help fulfill the Father's plan V3 The garden of Gethsemane, He asked the Father, "Could this pass from me?" Sweating blood and in agony, he there decided, "… not I, but thee." "Could you not stay awake one hour?" They came to take Him and He spoke with power – He said, "I am He." Judas kissed the Master and betrayed Him. Thirty silver pieces for His light to dim – and they took Him away

Fear No Evil 03:37
V1 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 Pre-Chorus 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. 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 V2 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 Pre-Chorus 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!
