Album Lyrics

We're in a battle-weary nation

Full of wounded, weary souls

Who've lost the desire to win the fight

They're just praying it won't be long.

With their weakened hearts on a holy cause

They've given everything they own

But all that's left of the fire of God

Are the memories of long ago.

Chorus:

Holy fire, burn in their lonely hearts

Holy fire, help them carry on

Holy fire, burn all the compromise

Renew motivation, remove hesitation

Destroy all the wicked desire, holy fire.

Through the years they've fought for freedom

Many nights they've prayed so long

Standing against the very gates of hell

'Til the enemy turned to run.

But it's been so long since they've heard the sound

Of that once familiar song

The one they'd sing at the break of dawn

When the battle had just been won.

(Chorus)

So tired, tired of all the same old excuses I've made for so long

So tired, tired of playing games with my life in the name of the Lord.

Chorus 1:

Time and again, I say that I'm sorry

Time and again, I stumble and cry

Time and again, I promise tomorrow

Will be a different day in my life.

So tired of giving up the fight when the battle has just begun

So tired, tired of being tired when I know He'll overcome.

Chorus 2:

Time and again, I say that I'll follow

Time and again, I keep losing my way

Time and again, I promise tomorrow

Will be a different day than today.

I'm so tired of always saying tomorrow will be a different day.

So tired asking forgiveness for the things I do everyday

So tired trying to live this kind of life my own kind of way.

(Repeat chorus 1)

Chorus 3:

Time and again, He's proven He's able

Time and again, He's given me life

Time and again, He's always faithful

To carry me no matter the fight.

(Repeat chorus 3)

Time and again

Time and again

Time and again

He'll carry me no matter the fight.

(Repeat chorus 3)

I can't bear to look at their faces again

Or hear their cries

When I know that I should be trying to give

More than a helpless smile.

The children are dying, mothers are crying

Fathers have all gone away

I say that I care, some way or somewhere

I'll help, but don't even pray.

I can't run away, can't hide anymore

Can't let them die

Too many arguments made, too many times I've ignored

Broken and hopeless lives.

They're afraid of the night, they pray for the light

But still it's the same old way

I say that I care, some way or somewhere

I'll help, but don't even pray.

Chorus:

These are the dying people, people who need the Lord

These are the dying people, people who need the Lord.

The time has come to stand up to the truth

And follow His command

So no matter the cost I've decided to choose

To live or to die with Him.

'Cause when the children are dying, the mothers are crying

The fathers have all gone their way

I'll do more than just care, someday or somewhere

I'll help them in Jesus' name.

(Chorus)

Bring an offering when you come before Him

Knowing that the Lord is in this place

Our Creator, mighty God, our Savior

Dwells within our praise.

Chorus:

Great is the Lord, greatly to be praised

Great is the Lord, greatly to be praised.

Bring an offering when you come before Him

Worshipping the Lord in holiness

Bow before Him, tremble and adore Him

For His mercy and His grace.

(Chorus)

Bring and offering when you come before Him

Singing to the Lord in joyful praise

He has healed us, gathered and redeemed us

And saved us from the grave.

(Chorus)

With so many people living in the world

How can we live so casually

And so many children who've never even heard

Crying alone in the streets.

When will we show them the light of the world is Jesus

When will we lay down our gold and our pearls for their freedom?

With so many people dying everyday

How can you say there's nothing to see

And the world around us in constant decay

Give them the chance to be free.

When will we show them the light of the world is Jesus

When will we lay down our gold and our pearls for their freedom?

Chorus:

Go into the world and make disciples in every land

Go into the world and heal them in Jesus' Name

Go.

With so many living without hope in the world

Do we really believe they'll die

I can't understand what we're waiting for

We're wasting time.

When will we show them the light of the world is Jesus

When will we lay down our gold and our pearls for their freedom?

(Chorus)

He said to go.

(Chorus)

If you're feeling like a failure and you can't go on

'Cause you're fighting that same old sin

You're living with the pressure that you gotta' be strong

But you're tired and you want to give in.

He never said it'd be easy to overcome

But He said He'd always give you the power

He never said He would leave you on your own

But He'd be with you every hour.

Chorus:

So be strong and courageous

Come on, be strong in the strength of His might

Be strong and courageous

No matter what you're facing He'll always give you grade

To be strong in the strength of His might.

So when the devil comes knocking at that same old door

And he's promising his same old lies

Just open up your heart and let him see the Lord

'Cause He's waiting and ready to fight.

He never said it'd be easy to overcome

But He said He'd always give you the power

He never said He would leave you on your own

But He'd be with you every hour.

(Chorus)

When I looked into my heart today

All I could see was loneliness

So I looked and I searched for anyway

To find You in love and holiness.

Bring me to the place I long for

Bring me to the bitter end of my life.

In a moment You spoke. You were there

Your love was so gentle. Your presence near

Not a word could I speak, but tremble in fear

And long for the day I'd always be there.

Bring me to the place I long for

Bring me to the bitter end of...

My life in this world

Lord, I just can't keep living

My life in this way

My life in this world, Lord I'm begging You please

Change me in holiness.

Like a memory that fades, You've swept away

All of my shame, my wickedness

And You've given me hope that now each day

I'll see more and more of Your holiness.

Bring me to the place I long for

Bring me to the bitter end of my life.

In days gone by, you felt so sure

Now your dreams of joy and peace, faded memories

Once you hungered for His Word

He seemed so near

Now the distance seems to grow with every heartbeat.

Somehow you fear you've gone too far

No reason to try

But He's there with you where you are

Open your eyes.

Chorus:

You'll see a man acquainted with your sorrows

You'll see His eyes sharing in your tears

You'll see His arms never lost their hold on you

Lift your eyes, you'll see the Lord.

His grace is yours, His mercy flows

The river of His love is never ending

Jesus knows you by name, He holds your heart

You never leave His sight, open your eyes.

(Chorus)

He knows your weakness disappoints you

He knows we're vessels made of clay

But He'll never leave

Let your heart believe you're secure

Safe in His hands

(Chorus)

So many times in my life

I thought it was You, but I was mistaken

So many things in my life

I thought were from You, now they've been taken.

Chorus 1:

But through the confusion and times of defeat

And the struggle that always remains

No matter how hopeless and dark it may seem

You never change.

So many times in my life

Things that I've said were better unspoken

So many times in my life

Promises made lie shattered and broken.

Chorus 2:

But through all the seasons, the years of my life

One thing forever remains

No matter the struggle, heartache or strife

You never change.

So many times in my life

Decisions I've made seemed right at the moment

So many times in my life

When I ran away, I've stumbled and fallen.

You never change.

(Chorus)

(Chorus 2)

You never change.
