Great Awakening
Verse 1
Lo He is coming soon upon His great white stallion
Every eye will see His majesty and glory
Some will rejoice and some will cry out, confused and full of fear
Will you be ready when the Lord Jesus Christ appears?
Chorus
A great awakening! Lord, Your great awakening.
Come Holy Spirit prepare Your Church
For Your great awakening (Repeat Chorus)
Verse 2
He delays His coming again so everyone would seek Him
He was here to show His great love the first time He came
Jesus paid the price for your sins on the Cross, as He bled and died.
What will your answer be? Will you follow the King, the Christ
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Never before have we needed You more, many have fallen away
Prepare our hearts Lord to love You and others. For
Your Kingdom may we seize the day!

Christ The Rock
Verse 1
Have you ever heard your baby cry
Or had someone close to you die
And thought you wouldn’t make it on your own?
Or you didn’t know just what to do
Or where to go or who to run to?
Just then you were rescued by His Bride!
Chorus
The Church is His people, living across the land
Abiding in His love, lending a helping hand.
We are built upon a Rock, Christ our Lord a sure foundation
We will spread His hope to others
Restore this Christian nation on Christ the Rock.
Verse 2
Sometimes it’s so easy to run this race called life
Never taking time for others, there are blinders on our eyes
Even in our own church there are ones that we don’t know
Who are lonely and hurting and don’t even let it show.
Repeat Chorus
Bridge
Now we are candles burning brightly in His name
Every time we help another we increase the flame
Verse 3
For the Lord Himself will come down from heaven
With a loud command and a trumpet call
And the dead in Christ will be the first ones to arise.
After that we who are still alive
Will be caught up together in the sky
To meet the Lord our Savior in the air.
And we’ll be with the Lord together
We’re His Church forever and ever
And we’ll sing and live in His love all day long.
Repeat Chorus

I’ve Been Saved!
Chorus
I was baptized as a baby boy, saved by the blood of the Lamb
God set a date to meet His Son and say yes to the great I Am
My life was changed forever; I was set on a different path
God was sittin’ in the drivers seat, He can have the wheel at last
I’ve been saved!
Verse 1
My soul was changed forever, but I was now confused
I thought everything would be all right but I had work to do
Verse 2
I struggled in my ego while my flesh was dying to Christ
It’s a daily painful battle sometimes it’s a hell of a fight
But I’ve been saved!
Bridge
Well we only improve in the places that we work on
And for so long I let life pass me by
But I’ve learned to pray and ask God to mold me
More and more into the shape of Jesus Christ
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3
So if you follow God and you struggle daily in your sin
Don’t believe the lie you’re not saved you’ve been born again
Don’t give up, keep praying, you’re not ever alone
One day you’ll hear that one true voice cry out welcome home!
Repeat Chorus

A Royal Treasure (Matthew 28)
Verse 1
There once was a king who was one of the good guys
So far in the story it seems.
He lent much to his servants who didn’t have much money
But one day they’d have to pay.
Verse 2
Well that day had suddenly come so it seemed
And some were worse off than others
As the king went along and gathered his sum
One servant owed much and couldn’t pay.
Verse 3
To the slave market off you go, cried the king
You and your entire family!
The man fell on his knees, he cried and he pleaded
The king’s heart warmed, the judgment receded
Chorus
Forgiveness is a royal treasure that money never can buy
When it’s offered to you don’t let it pass thru
Your arms but hold on for dear life
Verse 4
I wish I could say that was the end of this story
That he learned his lesson the first time
But if he was like me, ‘twas the bottom of the sea
He had to hit a few times
Verse 5
You see the servant had no sooner left the king’s court
When he met a man who owed him some money
He begged, cried and protested, but he had him arrested
Now it don’t seem quite as funny.
Repeat Chorus
Verse 6
Now the friend had some friends of his own
And they brought the news to the king
The king summoned the man and full of fury began
To show his servant what his actions would bring.
Verse 7
I forgave your entire debt, yelled the king
When you begged and pleaded for mercy
Now I send you away until you can pay
All of the debt that you owe me.
Repeat Chorus

Jesus Walks The Halls of the Prison
Verse 1
Jesus walks the halls of the prison
Into the cells of the forgotten ones
And comforts the aching of the memories
He holds the terrified in His arms
Verse 2
He stands by the bed of the sleepless
And sings over the lonely souls
No bars or walls can keep Him out
Of the heart that yearns for freedom
Chorus 1
Jesus walks the halls of the prison
Bringing love and joy and peace
He offers the gift of forgiveness
The wonder of Salvation’s release
Verse 3
He reaches thru the bars to the outcast
Touches the hearts of stone
Releases them from the burden of hate
Eases the poison wind that blows
Repeat Chorus 1
Chorus 2
Jesus walks the halls of the prison
He is calling your name
You can trust Him with your life
You will never be alone again.

Wait For The Lord
Verse 1
So many times I’ve sinned against You only
Vowed my allegiance to another love
Thou I cry and say I’m sorry
I end up framed in the mind I started from
Verse 2
Is there no one who can rescue me from torment
I feel like I am being pulled apart
At times I have the peace of God that feels so good
Then sin grabs me and my world falls apart
Chorus
Who will rescue me from this body of death
And the wretched man that I am?
Thanks be to God thru Jesus my Lord
His work on the Cross saved this man!
Verse 3
In Christ all my sins are washed away
Thou I daily struggle His promise still remains
If I would trust in the work of the man on the Cross
I’ll stand before Him free one day
Bridge
God, If You can forgive us for slaying Your Son
The very worst crime mankind has ever done
I’ll trust in Your blood when I don’t feel forgiven
Remind myself it’s by faith in which we run
Repeat Chorus

The King Is Coming
Verse 1
The King is coming let the people rejoice
The King is coming let us lift up one voice
Prepare your heart and soul that day draws nigh
When every eye shall see Jesus Christ
Verse 2
Christ brings the Kingdom that He won on the Cross
His death bought our freedom, have you counted the cost?
To follow Jesus you must lose everything
Cling not to this world but to the King
Chorus
He could come back any minute, any hour, any day
Will He find you hiding or with your arms upraised?
Jesus loves you as you are don’t wait ‘til you’re okay
Let Him wash you clean right now, salvation can be yours today!
Bridge
When He comes to claim His Kingdom will you be numbered with Him there?
Are you ready for His coming or will you be caught unaware?

Surrender to Christ, surrender to Christ
Surrender to Christ and be saved!

Drawn From Straws
Verse 1
How would it feel to take my place
Deceiver to the Savior’s face
How did you replace the one who fell-away?
Verse 2
Drawn from straws new apostle man
Joined to the apostolic band
Sing your song and live your life for God.
Chorus
Matthias was the added name
To the flock replaced the shame
Of Judas who betrayed the Son of Man
Matthias stood the test of time
No mud was slung, his name still shines
As one who told the story of the Cross
Verse 3
Denied yourself so I might live
Into the roughest villages
You carried the Gospel to the lost
Verse 4
Stoned to death the tale is told
Encourage us to be so bold
To die to self no matter what the cost

Matthias Matthias The fact that you were chosen tells a lot
Matthias Matthias One day we’ll know the truth of all you’d done

God Thy Will Be Done
Verse 1
There’s something that I’d like to say
Some words to pass on your way
You can take it or leave it or maybe believe it
Or relate to the message in some way
Verse 2
You see at times I’m prone to wander
Wrapped up in my own praise
I pray I’ll always remember - I’m dressed only in rags
Chorus
God, Thy will be done - God, Thy will be done
From the rising to the setting sun - God, Thy will be done
Verse 3
Sometimes I rush out the door - Eager to start “my own” day
Then I’m hit with temptation and with great proclamation
I cry “Lord, have Thine own way”!
Repeat Chorus
Verse 4
Now sometimes the “getting” is good - And I forget to remember
That it’s down in the valley when I hear You call me
To You may I always surrender
Bridge
But God gave up His Son - Christ paid my debt on the Cross
May I be moved to tears throughout the years
Not mine, but Yours be done
Repeat Chorus
Verse 5
Not when my life is over - But from this moment on
May I live each day and faithfully say, “God, Thy will be done”.

You Have Awakened My Heart (For Jeanne)

And you are, my forever and always, that’s how it should be

Of you in my life and now you’re my beautiful bride.

And I know, God saved you for me, and I will be grateful eternally.
Yes, I know God saved you for me, two hearts brought together in unity.

You are my morning and evening, the friendship I’ve always wanted
When you lay your head on my chest my heart it pounds with thunder!
And I can’t, quite catch my breath, my thoughts miss a step
And I’m filled with wonder and how my heart comes alive!
Jeanne how I love you so!

Edisto
Verse 1
Sit down children and I’ll tell you a tale.
May take awhile, you never can tell
‘Bout a might river in the southern land
God formed it with the palm of His hand
Chorus
Roll on Edisto, leaves turn your water as black as coal
Roll on Edisto, your banks sing a lullaby
Verse 2
Thru the mist he flies the great blue heron
Silent and steadfast upon his mission
While the loon she cries and the cardinal wings
Bringing in the mornin’ while the eagle sings.
Chorus
Bridge
Roll on, roll on, thru the sun and thru the rain,
Thru the joy and thru the pain Edisto
Verse 3
Orista tribe and Cherokee
Lived on the river and down by the sea
Two young brave can be seen not a rip
As they still their oars in the morning mist
Chorus
Verse 4
Home to the otter, owl and man
The river takes you back to a distant land
When the Indian and the cypress knees
Both breathed life from the river to sing
Chorus
Repeat Bridge and a quiet Chorus

Waiting For Hope
Chorus
Waiting for Hope,
We know she’s out there somewhere,
Waiting for Hope. Waiting for Hope
When will the Lord deliver her?
Waiting for Hope.
Verse 1
She’s already the apple of her daddy’s eye
And with joy her mom will cry.
Our hearts and arms are open to the Lord,
He gives and takes away. Chorus
Verse 2
Her little girl’s heart,
Is looking for a home.
She longs for a family,
One to call her own. Chorus
Bridge
Here close by - or across the sea
We’d run across the ocean,
To bring her back to be,
Our little girl. Then we’d see,
Her dancing in the moonlight,
With mommy and me.
Daddy playing guitar,
While mommy sings along
Jesus here with us
Together we are strong. Chorus
