Album Lyrics

The war rages on

You're tired and weary from the fight

But you know you're not alone

There's an army standing by your side

Leading you through the night.

The enemy is near

Thunder and lightning's everywhere

What have you to fear?

For the Lord is your Strength, your Defender,

Your rock, your Deliverer.

Chorus:

Stand, every man, and see His salvation

Stand, every man, for the vict'ry is won

Stand, every man, and proclaim the celebration

He's won the battle, so stand!

Angels all around

Fighting a foe that you can't see

Strongholds falling down

And the demons lay captive at your feet

Crying out "release"

Soldiers, arise

Captains, come gather all your men

The time to move is now

For the voice of the God of glory thunders

Calling overcomers

(Chorus)

(Repeat chorus)

Here I am again, can't remember when,

I heard Your voice and felt Your touch.

But I know You're here, You're always near,

When I call.

Here I go again, asking You to send

Deliverance for things I've done,

Oh, forgive me, Lord,

I need Your love again.

I've proclaimed Your word in righteousness,

Shared the truth to men,

So help me, Lord, not to lose

The only race I've got to win.

Chorus:

Arise and set me free,

Break the power of my enemy,

Lift me high on the mountaintop,

Where You alone are God.

Round and round again,

Always seems when

I think I've gone from weak to strong,

I find a way to forget to praise Your name.

So, in my life again,

Purify and cleanse me from my sin,

Only then will I understand,

I can never win without You.

I've proclaimed Your word in righteousness,

Shared the truth to men,

So help me, Lord, not to lose

The only race I've got to win.

So, arise and set me free,

Break the power of my enemy,

Lift me high on the mountaintop,

Where You alone are God.

So, arise and set me free,

Break the power of my enemy,

Lift me high on the mountain top,

Where You alone are God.

Often the battle goes too long,

Courage all runs dry.

Victories you should have won,

Are memories too hard to fight.

Dancing like shadows in the night,

Faded dreams once thought right,

Are pushing out the light.

When it seems the day is lost,

Faith is almost gone.

Set your eyes on His battered cross,

Where the war is already won.

Like a flood His word will come.

Set the darkness on the run.

Every soldier of the cross will cry.

Chorus:

Only the overcomers will be with,

Only the overcomers will live with,

Only the overcomers will reign on high.

Only the overcomers will be with,

Only the overcomers will live with,

Only the overcomers will reign on high.

Sometimes the reason that we stand and fight is almost lost.

'Cause battle-weary soldiers can forget to count the cost.

When friends are lost along the way,

It's hard to walk from day to day,

As a soldier of the cross.

Many have suffered and many have given,

Their lives because of Him.

So how much more should we stand and count,

For the life of every man?

Brother, sister, search your heart,

Can you say that every part,

Is given as a soldier to the King?

(Chorus)

(Repeat chorus)

What is man? Who am I

To think I could ever try

To fully understand Your ways

All the riches of Your grace?

You alone are holy

You alone are mighty

You alone are the great "I AM"

You're ho-ly, mighty

The holy God, the mighty One

The holy and mighty Lord.

Kings and princes of the lands

Gathering now, making plans

How they want this world to go

Can't they see, don't they know?

You alone are holy

You alone are mighty

You alone are the great "I AM"

You're ho-ly, mighty

The holy God, the mighty One

Our holy and mighty Lord.

Ho-ly, mighty.

Hush-a-bye, don't you cry,

Go to sleep, little baby.

Children, children - created in the image of the Lord,

Children, children - a miracle conceived within the womb.

How can you stand by and say it isn't your concern?

How can you deny they're your children?

Open up your heart,

Let the truth you've never learned,

Replace the wicked lies that have destroyed all of the...

Children, children - little girls and boys we throw away,

Children, children - no one will be able to replace them.

How can you just hide behind the government of man?

When God in all His righteousness will judge them?

How can you just stay at home and never lift a hand...

To try to stop the killing and start saving them?

We gotta' say no, "No!",

We just can't let it go on.

(Repeat)

Children, children - cradled in the bosom of the Father,

Children, children - protected now forever by the Lord.

How can you stand by and say it isn't your concern?

How can you deny they're your children?

Open up your heart,

Let the truth you've never learned,

Replace the wicked lies that have destroyed them.

We gotta' say no, "No!",

We just can't let it go on.

(Repeat)

(Now is the time for every man

To hear the Word of God and stand)

We gotta' say "No!"

Chorus:

Not by might or by power

By My Spirit, says the Lord.

Not by might or by power

Will you stand and see your troubles go?

When you're weak, He is stronger

He won't leave you when times get hard.

Just believe in His power

He'll lift you to His mountain top.

When the light of His Spirit

Seems to darken with each passing day

And you try to get near it

But the path you're on isn't His way.

Cry out to Jesus - He will hear you

He will cover you with holy light.

With His blood He will save you

And protect you from the darkest night.

Not by might or by power

By My Spirit, says the Lord.

Not by might or by power

Will you stand and see your troubles go?

When you're weak, He is stronger

He won't leave you when times get hard.

Just believe in His power

He will lift you to the mountain top.

Let the truth He has spoken

Lead you to His holiness.

And then you will be broken

From everything holding you back.

Then Jesus, He will fill you

With the Spirit of the Living God.

With His power, He will heal you

And set you on the solid rock.

(Chorus)

(Repeat chorus)

Not by might; by My Spirit.

I can remember how I felt that very first day,

Lord I remember all the words You heard me say,

I was a man in love with You,

All that I ever wanted to do,

Was fill my heart with Your Holy Word,

Love you as my Lord,

Take me back, oh, take me back,

To the way it was before,

And I can still hear the songs you gave me in the night,

To keep me from all the wrongs too strong for me to right,

There was so much to understand,

I knew I was weak, but I felt Your hand,

Leadin' me through the ragin' winds,

'Til you calmed the storm,

Take me back, oh, take me back,

To the way it was before,

'Cause I don't ever want to be found a man unfaithful to Your Word, Lord,

But I'm afraid that if You would call me now to come home,

You would be only a stranger in my heart,

I can remember when You held me in your arms,

To carry me on the wind away from every harm,

I was a man in love with You,

All that I ever wanted to do,

Was fill my heart with Your Holy Word,

Love you as my Lord,

Take me back, oh, take me back,

To the way it was before,

'Cause I don't ever want to be found a man unfaithful to Your word, Lord,

But I'm afraid that if You would call me now to come home,

You would be only a stranger in my heart,

Take me back, oh, take me back,

To the way it was before,

Take me back, oh, take me back,

To the way it was before,

Take me back, oh, take me back,

To the way it was before.

We're living in a day when sin is accepted

And the people hunger only for pleasure

Oh, heal our land, heal our land.

Take away the stones and build a tower

Let the watchman warn us in this hour

That we might stand, we might stand.

Chorus:

Set a watchman on the tower -

Everybody, stay awake!

The enemy is closer than you think.

With a watchman on the tower

We will hear the trumpet sound

And be ready to trample the enemy down.

Jerusalem and Judah have fallen

They displayed their wicked sin like Sodom.

Forgive them Lord, forgive them Lord.

Deliver us from the mighty oppressor

And from every man against Your presence

Oh send Your Word, Your holy Word.

(Chorus)

(Instrumental break)

(Chorus)

Everyone looking for peace and safety

In a land where God has been forsaken.

Oh Spirit come, Spirit come.

Take away the stones that cover the eyes

Of every man deceived by compromise

Sound the alarm, sound the alarm!

(Chorus)

(Repeat chorus)

Choose you this day, You said, whom you would serve,

Give me a heart to always choose You,

Open my eyes,

Help me to understand,

Make me a holy man,

I want to know You,

But I need to love You, Lord, more than my life,

But to die to myself isn't easy,

How long, oh Lord,

Will I bring You a heart,

That's not broken of all the pride,

Help me choose You,

Fill me with hunger so I will no longer,

Desire all the things I see,

Now in your holiness,

Cleanse all my stubbornness,

Make me what You want me to be,

Deep in my heart, Lord, You're all that I need,

But this heart of mine wanders so easily,

I long to be free,

Give me the strength to stand,

Make me a holy man,

I want to know You,

Fill me with hunger so I will no longer,

Desire all the things I see,

Now in your holiness,

Cleanse all my stubbornness,

Make me what You want me to be.

People singing songs of freedom,

People singing songs of love,

People singing songs of victory,

Saying God will prosper your word.

But where are the songs about hard times?

Songs of suffering and pain?

Where are the songs that tell you

'Bout a mighty King of Kings

Who died in our place?

I'm gonna' sing about the blood and the love of the Lord,

Lift up His holy name,

You can have your freedom and your "one-time" love,

I want Jesus.

Some are saying we're in a season,

Where everyone can be at ease,

Saying that God from His holy heaven,

Is there just to meet all our needs.

Why can't they hear all the crying?

Why don't they see what He sees?

Every single man and woman on the earth,

Without the Son, they'll die in sin.

I'm gonna' sing about the blood and the love of the Lord,

Lift up His holy name,

You can have your freedom and your "one-time" love,

I want Jesus.

(Repeat)
