Album Lyrics

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)

We have a sure defender, a strong and mighty captain

Leading us in battle - His Name is Lord of all.

Celebrate His conquering, raise His banner.

Lift Him high, lift Him high.

Chorus:

Not with a sword to destroy,

Not with a shield to defend,

Not with a spear to kill,

But in the Name of the Lord,

The battle is the Lord's.

(Repeat chorus)

His Name is our salvation,

A strong and mighty tower.

We will exalt Him,

The Son of Righteousness.

Worthy of glory, sing His praises.

Lift Him high, lift Him high.

(Repeat chorus)

I will lift up the Name.

The Name above all names.

All heaven and earth must bow

Before the Name almighty, God.

(Repeat chorus twice)

It's not often I feel like lifting my hands in worship

It's not often I feel like singing a song of joy

But I'm often reminded of His ways and how He's so faithful

So I'll offer Him this sacrifice of praise

Chorus:

All that is in me, all that I am

There's nothing I withhold from Him

All that is in me, all that I am

Will glorify the Lamb

It's not often enough my heart and spirit are broken

It's not often enough that He finds me on my knees

But so often He comes in His cleansing love and forgives me

So I'll offer Him this sacrifice of praise

(Repeat chorus)

It's not often enough I see Him through all He's given

It's not often enough I seek Him in His word

But so often I stand amazed that I'm one He's chosen

So I'll offer Him this sacrifice of praise

(Repeat chorus twice)

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.

One thing I ask of the Lord,

One thing will I seek,

That I may dwell in the house of the Lord

All my days.

To gaze upon the beauty of the Lord,

And to seek Him in His temple,

Where no foe can cause me harm.

Then will my head be lifted up,

Above my enemies,

And in His temple I will sacrifice,

And make music to my Lord.

One thing I ask, one thing will I seek in this world,

Simply to know Him.

There is no reason to fear when trouble comes my way,

Jesus will shelter me from harm every day.

For He is my salvation,

All my enemies will flee.

There is no foe that can defeat the Lord in me.

Then will my head be lifted up,

Above my enemies,

And in His temple I will sacrifice,

And make music to my Lord.

One thing will I seek in this world,

Simply to know Him.

Simply to know Him.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yesterday is a day I'll be remembering.

Yesterday is a day I won't forget.

Yesterday I met a man who lives a life I have never had,

A life full of love, a life full of joy and peace when things go bad.

Yesterday is a day I met the Master.

Yesterday is the day I found new life.

Now every day as I rise to face the world,

I'll see a new and brighter day,

A day full of love and joy because of Him.

Jesus is the light of the world,

The bright and morning star.

Let your light shine before all men,

And seek the way pilgrims trod.

Yesterday will forever be tomorrow.

Now all my days will be filled with thoughts beyond.

So come along and walk with me,

To a land of love, a home eternally,

Where Jesus is Lord, the mighty King of kings.

Now every day as I rise to face the world,

I'll see a new and brighter day,

A day full of love and joy because of Him.

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.
