1985 - The Best of Harvest

1. The Army of the Lord

Words and Music by Brent Lamb

Are we walking into the enemy's camp,

Laying our weapons down,

Shedding our armor as we go,

Leaving it on the ground?

We've gotta' be strong in the power of His might,

Prove to the enemy,

We are the army of the Lord and we've won the victory.


All around us a war's goin' on,

Between the wrong and the right.

We gotta' choose which side we're on,

The darkness or the light.


'Cause some of the soldiers of the Lord,

Just don't realize that the captain

Of the army of darkness

Has come to blind their eyes.


Are we walking into the enemy's camp,

Laying our weapons down,

Shedding our armor as we go,

Leaving it on the ground?

We've gotta' be strong in the power of His might,

Prove to the enemy,

We are the army of the Lord and we've won the victory.


Can't you see that we're in a battle,

And there is no place to hide?

Our shields of faith are full of darts.

They're shootin' from every side.

Just shake out the darts and run right at 'em,

And remember Who you're fighting for,

Don't fall asleep, 'cause if they catch you,

They'll tag you prisoner of war.


Are we walking into the enemy's camp,

Laying our weapons down,

Shedding our armor as we go,

Leaving it on the ground?

We've gotta' be strong in the power of His might,

Prove to the enemy,

We are the army of the Lord and we've won the victory.


Are we walking into the enemy's camp,

Laying our weapons down,

Shedding our armor as we go,

Leaving it on the ground?

We've gotta' be strong in the power of His might,

Prove to the enemy,

We are the army of the Lord and we've won the victory.


We've won the victory.

2. If We Don't Believe (Send Us to the World)

Words and Music by Jerry Williams

People are cryin', the children are dyin'

Who don't even know.

We're killin' by millions

Brothers and sisters; our hearts are so cold.


While Christians are sittin'; talkin' 'bout heaven

And when they will go,

The world and its people move faster and deeper

To a livin' death below.


If we don't believe, then how will they know?

How will they hear if we never go?

O Lord, send us to the world.

If we don't believe, then how will they see?

How will they know that they can be free?

O Lord, send us to the world.


If we are the light of the world then what right

Do we have to not go?

He's given us power to conquer the hour,

So why don't we go?


He's called us as soldiers, given us orders

To tear down the walls.

We'll sing and we'll shout,

We'll carry them out, and offer them to the Lord.


If we don't believe, then how will they know?

How will they hear if we never go?

O Lord, send us to the world.

If we don't believe, then how will they see?

How will they know that they can be free?

O Lord, send us to the world.


We've got to believe, we've got to believe,

We've got to believe. Send us to the world.

We've got to believe, we've got to believe,

We've got to believe. Send us to the world.


If we don't believe, then how will they know?

How will they hear if we never go?

O Lord, send us to the world.

If we don't believe, then how will they see?

How will they know that they can be free?

O Lord, send us to the world.

Send us to the world. Send us to the world.

3. The Wedding Day

Words and Music by Brent Lamb

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.

4. Behold God

Words and Music by Jerry Williams

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.

5. I Will Worship the Lord

Words and Music by Jerry Williams

As we gather in the presence of the Lord our mighty God,

Our hearts begin to tremble, our spirits stand in awe.

The ruler of the universe has called us to His throne,

And He longs for us to worship Him in beauty and in song.


But there's times I feel so far away,

My heart is full of pain,

My spirit seems so lifeless,

It's hard to speak His name.


But then somehow I lift my voice and say, "I love you, Lord,"

And He comes and takes me by His love and leads me to His home.


And I will worship the Lord, I will worship the Lord,

I will worship the Lord, I will worship the Lord.


Then deep within my spirit as I worship Him in truth,

I realize that all my fears are slowly being loosed.

The freedom that I've longed to know I've gained it now through praise,

So I'll make my life a sacrifice of worship to His name.


I will worship the Lord, I will worship the Lord,

I will worship the Lord, I will worship the Lord, the Lord.


I will worship the Lord, I will worship the Lord,

I will worship the Lord, I will worship the Lord.

Worship the Lord, worship the Lord, worship the Lord, the Lord.

6. The Blood of the Lamb

Words and Music by Jerry Williams

I'm weakened by the raging war,

Standing when I feel no more like standing

For the things that I believe.

Surrounded by the lives of men

Who stood when hope seemed at an end,

Darkness all around, still I see.

The mountains moving in the night

Don't stand a chance to drag me down

'Cause I'm a mountain climber.


I've learned the secret of those men who

Stared at death and conquered sin and

I'm gonna' shout it from the mountain.


They overcame him through the blood of the Lamb.

They overcame him through the Word that He'd said.

They overcame him through the Name

Of God's own Son, Jesus Christ.

They overcame him through the blood and the Word

And the Name of Jesus Christ.


No matter how the days may go, He said the war

Would never slow 'til that final day

When Jesus comes.

So lift your eyes and gaze on Him,

Lay aside each weight of sin,

Let your spirit soar where eagles fly.

The mountains moving in the night

Don't stand a chance to drag you down

'Cause you are now a mountain climber.

Spread your wings and catch the wind.

Stare at death and conquer sin and

Shout it from the mountain.


They overcame him through the blood of the Lamb.

They overcame him through the Word that He'd said.

They overcame him through the Name

Of God's own Son, Jesus Christ.

They overcame him through the blood and the Word

And the Name of Jesus Christ.


We overcame him through the blood of the Lamb.

We overcame him through the Word that He'd said.

We overcame him through the Name

Of God's own Son, Jesus Christ.

We overcame him through the blood and the Word

And the Name of Jesus Christ.


They overcame him through the blood of the Lamb.

They overcame him through the Name

Of God's own Son, Jesus Christ.

They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb.

7. Calvary

Words and Music by Jerry Williams

Calvary, that's the place where Jesus bled and died.

And it's there that sin has lost its power,

At Calvary.


Calvary, there my Jesus won the victory.

There He gave Himself for you and me.

On Calvary.


Brother, give no thought for what tomorrow, it may bring.

Your Father, He knows your heart, He knows your every need.

Just seek Him in His truth, and rest upon His Word.

Share His love to everyone. Let's all just praise the Lord.

Let the stars fall from the skies, let the sun refuse to shine.

In darkness I know there will be a light for all mankind.

It doesn't matter who you are, or whatever things you've done.

'Cause Jesus, He still loves you, and calls for you to come,

To Calvary...


That's the place where Jesus bled and died.

And it's there that sin has lost it's power,

At Calvary.


Calvary, that's the place where Jesus bled and died.

And it's there that sin has lost it's power,

At Calvary.


Calvary, there my Jesus won the victory.

There He gave Himself for you and me.

On Calvary.

8. Where Would I Be?

Words and Music by Ed Kerr

Where would I be if the Lord hadn't saved me?

Suffering alone in sin.

But he loved me, when He died for all my sin.

By His blood I can live again.


Where would I be if the Lord hadn't suffered?

He looked past the cross with joy.

And He loved me, He laid down His life for me.

Through His blood I have been set free.


Where are you now?

Do you stand redeemed before Him?

Blameless before His throne?

Let Him cleanse you, He will help you start anew.

Just believe what His blood can do.


For He loves you, He will help you start anew.

Just believe what His blood can do.

9. Mountain Climber

Words and Music by Jerry Williams

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.

10. Because I Am

Words and Music by Jerry Williams

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.
