Album Lyrics

Master, If You'd only hurried, I know this wouldn't have been,

And, Master, if You'd only answered, I know He wouldn't be dead.

Mary, if you'd only listened, to all the words that I have said,

And, Mary, if you'd only trusted, you'd know, He isn't really dead.

Because I Am.

But, Master, I can't help what You're saying,

I'm so weak, and I know He'll never come home,

And, Master, I know someday I will see Him,

But my faith could never roll back His stone.

Mary, how long will I be with you, that you might understand?

And, Mary, don't you know that I can, cause all these graves to rise again?

Chorus:

For I Am the resurrection, I Am the life,

And he who believes in Me, though dead, shall not die.

Because I Am the resurrection, I Am your life,

And he who believes in Me, though dead, shall not die.

Yes, I Am the resurrection, I Am your life,

And he who believes in Me, though dead, shall not die.

Yes, I Am the resurrection, I Am your life,

And he who believes in Me, though dead, shall not die.

Yes, I Am the resurrection, I Am your life,

And he who believes in Me, though dead, shall not die.

Because I Am.

I Am.

I Am.

Because I Am.

Lately, I've been thinkin', as I look all around me,

I see by the signs that we're soon gonna' be leavin'.

The Bridegroom is comin', to take us all away,

Maybe it's tomorrow, I pray that it's today.

Chorus:

We will fly away, in the twinkling of an eye.

Leavin' all our heartaches, tellin' 'em all goodbye,

We will fly away, when He hears His Father say,

"Jesus, go and get Your bride, today's Your wedding day."

Now, when we see the Bridegroom, on the clouds in the sky,

Will He be tellin' you, hello or tellin' you, goodbye?

Oh, be sure and be ready to meet Him face to face,

We've got to fight a good fight, we've got to keep our faith.

So we can fly away in the twinkling of an eye.

Leavin' all our heartaches, tellin' 'em all goodbye,

We will fly away when He hears His Father say,

"Jesus, go and get Your bride. Today's Your wedding day."

And we will fly away in the twinkling of an eye.

Leavin' all our heartaches, tellin' 'em all goodbye,

We will fly away when He hears His Father say,

"Jesus, go and get Your bride. Today's Your wedding day."

Fly away in the twinkling of an eye,

Leavin' all our heartaches, tellin' 'em all goodbye,

We will fly away in the twinklin' of an eye,

Leavin' all our heartaches, tellin' 'em all goodbye,

We will fly away in the twinklin' of an eye,

Leavin' all our heartaches, tellin' 'em all goodbye.

I have seen a battle raging, and it's taking place within.

I don't do the things I ought to, I go back where I began.

It seemed pleasant for a season, but the season surely passed.

All I'm left is disappointment, and the will to hold on fast.

To the words You've spoken to me, and their power to guide my way.

There's a better way You've bought me, so I'll look to You and stay in Your love.

I'll say "No" to worldly passions, things that once controlled my life.

Jesus clothed me with His righteousness and renewed me with His might.

I have crucified those passions, they were buried with my Lord.

I've been raised a new creation through the washing of His Word.

You have called me out of darkness to proclaim Your works with joy.

To sing praises to the Holy One, shouting, "Sin has been destroyed."

Death where is thy sting? Grave where is thy victory?

Jesus offered up His life. Now He owns the keys.

Lord, You called me out of darkness to proclaim Your works with joy.

There's a better way You've bought me,

So I'll look to You and stay in Your love.

In Your love. In Your love. In Your love.

When I gather around me all of the thoughts of years gone past,

Memories of how You gave me life.

A gentle word, a gift of love came at just the right time.

I remember now, I used to laugh or cry.

Chorus:

Lord, I want to be full again of the life You made so real.

I don't know why, but I walked away.

Make the memories that I'm feelin' stir my heart to love.

Forgive me, Lord, and renew Your Word in my life, again.

There are times I can feel within me a love that I once knew.

I had so many friends, but that was long ago.

Then how quickly the scattered memories, they fade and slip away.

I'd give anything to be a child again.

Oh, the freedom of never needing anyone but You.

Remembering now it tears me apart.

Reach within me and gently cleanse me of every dying thing.

Create in me a new life so I can be free, again.

Lord, I want to be full again of the life You made so real.

I don't know why, but I walked away.

Make the memories that I'm feelin' stir my heart to love.

Forgive me, Lord, and renew Your Word in my life, again.

I remember the time I felt Your hand upon me, Lord.

I thought that I would never rise again.

For Your Spirit had broken the pride in my heart.

I knew that I needed to make a new start.

I wanted to feel Your love and know You cared.

So I fell upon my knees and prayed, "Forgive me, Lord.

For livin' my life without You everyday."

Then I felt like somethin' within me had died.

When I raised my head I saw a new light.

I heard what sounded like a voice from heaven say.

Chorus:

It's alright now. It's alright now.

There's nothin' to fear from Me, my friend.

I'm saying it's alright now.

Many years have come and gone since I first met You, Lord.

Many are the times I've felt Your hand.

Leadin' and guidin' every place that I go.

And helpin' me stand in the midst of the storm.

And givin' me strength no matter what comes my way.

And I know that when my life begins to fade from earth,

My heart will never cry or never fear.

For Your Spirit and love have given me strength

And the courage I need to see the King of Kings.

I know I'll hear the words of long ago.

It's alright now. It's alright now.

There's nothin' to fear from Me, my friend.

I'm sayin' it's alright now.

It's alright now. It's alright now.

There's nothin' to fear from Me, my friend.

I'm sayin' it's alright now.

There's nothin' to fear from Me, my friend.

I'm sayin' it's alright now.

There's nothin' to fear from Me, my friend.

I'm sayin' it's alright now.

It's alright, just call on Jesus.

He promised to love and protect you,

Honor and rescue you when you're in trouble.

Don't be afraid, He's always there.

It's alright. It's alright, just call on Jesus,

He'll make it right. It's alright now.

Chorus:

Behold God is my salvation

I will trust, I will not be afraid.

Behold God is my strength and my song,

And He has become my Lord.

On days that I'm weak it's hard to believe

Still I know He'll see me through

He'll give me the power to conquer the hour

In everything I do.

I Lift up my voice and I sing songs of joy

To the God who reigns on high

Give me the courage, won't let anything hurt me

As I sing to Him my song.

Behold God is my salvation

I will trust, I will not be afraid.

Behold God is my strength and my song,

And He has become my Lord.

So with joy I will shout as I rise in the clouds,

On the day my Lord returns.

Sit at His table and drink of salvation,

And praise His holy name.

I'll dance around heaven with Moses and Aaron,

And proclaim what God has done.

So be gone all your troubles and all of your devils,

'Cause, Jesus, He's my song.

Behold God is my salvation

I will trust, I will not be afraid.

Behold God is my strength and my song,

And He has become my Lord.

Behold God is my salvation

I will trust, I will not be afraid.

Behold God is my strength and my song,

And He has become my Lord.

He has become my Lord. He is my Lord.

Well I'm a freeway preacher with a travellin' song.

Jesus is my message. I'm on my way home.

I'm walkin' on the devil and I'm stakin' a claim,

On all his territory in Jesus' name.

Hallelujah, I've got him on the run.

Hallelujah, I'm even havin' fun.

I want to praise the Lord, there's nothin' he can do to me.

Jesus, the Livin' Word of God, set me free.

Well I never seem to do everything that I should.

The devil comes around and says, "Jer', you're no good."

I stand upon the Word and say, in Jesus' name,

You devil get away 'cause I'm a child of the King.

Hallelujah, I've got him on the run.

Hallelujah, I'm even havin' fun.

I want to praise the Lord, there's nothin' he can do to me.

Jesus, the Livin' Word of God, set me free.

I always tell the people everywhere that I go.

The devil is a liar, but Jesus is Lord.

You better hurry up and get your life turned around.

Jesus and His bride will soon be in the clouds.

Hallelujah, Jesus set me free.

Hallelujah, He is my victory.

I want to praise the Lord, there's nothin' man can do to me.

Jesus, the Livin' Word of God, set me free.

Hallelujah, Jesus set me free.

Hallelujah, He is my victory.

I want to praise the Lord, there's nothin' man can do to me.

Jesus, the Livin' Word of God, set me free.

Hallelujah, Jesus set me free.

Hallelujah, He is my victory.

I want to praise the Lord, there's nothin' man can do to me.

Jesus, the Livin' Word of God, set me free.

I'm climbing a mountain just over the valley,

A mountain so high I can't see to the top,

I stood at the bottom and wondered if I could make it,

Then something within me said I had to try.

So, mountain, move over 'cause I'm climbin' to heaven,

I know that the way is rough and hard but I'll reach the other side.

I'm crossin' a river just over the mountain,

There's people who say it's too deep and too wide,

But there is a Man they don't know who will guide me,

He's been there before, so I'll follow behind.

So, river, just bow your head and let us walk over,

'Cause I'm going to sing and dance on you 'till I reach the other side.

The mountain and river are now far behind me,

I know it was hard but it seems like a dream,

I'm feasting on riches and drinking from fountains,

Of sweet living water that never run dry.

There is no mountain that's too high to cross over,

There is no river that's so deep you will drown,

So lift up your eyes and look beyond the horizon,

Follow the morning sun and like me you will find,

The other side.

Jesus, You said if I believed in You

I could do the same things that You did.

You said all it takes is a seed of faith,

and my mountains would fall in the sea.

My battles are won, and the lost, they would come

and give their hearts to You as their King.

Oh Lord, I can't wait to use my seed of faith

and see the miracle begin in me.

Jesus, You promised You would help me be strong

if I'd come to You every day.

If when I'm at work or when I'm at home

I'd talk about the things that You said.

So claiming Your Word, I'm gonna' be heard,

gonna' tell everybody I see

That Jesus is Lord and the battle is won

and the miracle's alive in me.

Listen, My son, I want you to grow,

but there's too many reasons you should make it slow.

If you make it too fast, you'll wither like the grass

when the heat of a trial comes your way.

Slow yourself down and sit at My feet.

Don't get in a hurry or you'll suffer defeat.

Be still and know that I am the Lord

and you'll stand forevermore.

Lord, You said that it's those who are lead by Your Spirit

who are called Your sons.

You said if I'm alive in You

then I'm dead to pressures that so often come.

They try to tear me down so I'd lose what I've found,

life and peace in You.

Oh but I'm gonna' stand and be a mighty man,

no matter what the devil may do.

Well, listen, My son, I want you to grow,

but there's too many reasons you should make it slow.

If you make it too fast, you'll wither like the grass

when the heat of a trial comes your way.

Slow yourself down and sit at My feet.

Don't get in a hurry or you'll suffer defeat.

Be still and know that I am the Lord and you'll stand forevermore.

Be still and know that I am the Lord and you'll stand forevermore.

There are so many times I've stood on the firing line

To tell of Your love and Your power.

If the real truth were known, I felt I could not go on.

I might fall in the hour.

I know that we walk by faith, not by the things we see.

Lord, help me see Your hand.

Reach down and make me whole, touch me that I might know

Victory and joy once again.

Chorus:

I don't want to be a drifter, Lord,

Or a house built on sand.

By Your Spirit, Lord, I'll fight the good fight of faith

As I run the race, that I might win, Lord help me again.

I know in the latter days people will not obey

Your voice and all that You say.

With hearts set on earthly things they call You their God and King.

Help me show them the way.

Open my eyes to see our home with the King of Kings

Isn't through words, Its through power.

Oh Lord, I just want to be a man of Your victory.

Share Your sweet love every hour.

I don't want to be a drifter, Lord.

Or a house built on sand.

By Your Spirit, Lord, I'll fight the good fight of faith

As I run the race, that I might win.

I don't want to be a drifter, Lord.

Or a house built on sand.

By Your Spirit, Lord, I'll fight the good fight of faith

As I run the race, that I might win. Lord help me again.

Help me again, One more time, please help me Lord.

One more time won't You stand by me.

You promised me, Lord, You'd always be there.

Please stand by me.

You said You'd never leave me Lord.

Stand by me one more time.

I need You Lord. Help me Lord.

You promised in Your Word You'd stand by me.

Help me again, Lord, Help me again one more time.

You said You'd never leave me Lord.
