Today Is The Day You Die 08:04
lyrics

Intro It came so fast Like lightning flash Scoffers weep at their wasted lives No one saw No one heard The hour the Son of Man returns Did you know? Did you hear? Did you see, tell me, did you see it coming? Verse 1 Tears of joy flooded their eyes as the tune of the trumpets resound Not one foreknew the hour or the day, but they all knew the face of Him, renown Screams of fear deafened their ears as they beheld His gaze, eyes of flame Behold the Man, the One whom they’ve pierced, and know that you’ll never forget His name Chorus Call to Arms! Draw all your weapons and your shields For today, your end is nigh Babylon, now you have reason to hide for today, you fool, Today is the day you die! Verse 2 Once a slave, but finally set free, Creation’s groans to find relief “Behold, my bride, I make all things new; come out from them and be free of all their crimes.” Once a queen, Jezebel laid low, too late now for you to repent Behold the Man, the One whom you’ve pierced, and know that He comes to bring the End Chorus Call to Arms! Draw all your weapons and your shields For today, I take what’s Mine Babylon, now you have reason to hide for today, you fool, Today is the day you die! Bridge Did you see? Did you hear? Did you know? Did you feel? Did you see? Did you hear? Did you feel? Now it’s time… Final Chorus Call to Arms! Draw all your weapons and your shields For today, My reign is nigh Babylon, now you have nowhere to hide for today, you fool, Today is the day you die! Behold, I am coming soon. My reward is with Me and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy in this book.

The Consequence Of Misinterpretation 06:38
lyrics

Verse 1 Why do the nations rage? Why do the peoples plot in vain? There’s nothing left for me to say. Once again, you’ve dug your own grave Shut up. Sit down. Brace yourself like the man you think you are Tell Me once more where you were when I made the stars Pre Chorus 1 Patiently Silently Bearing all the brunt you put on me Chorus The consequence of misinterpretation The insolence of misrepresentation The arrogance to dismiss what’s been known through the ages Who can stand on the day when God has had enough? Verse 2 Yet again you open your mouth just to put more words into mine Right now, this tree is green, but what’ll happen when it goes dry Prechorus 2 Patiently Silently Putting up with all your falsity Until now Chorus The consequence of misinterpretation The insolence of misrepresentation The arrogance to suppress what’s been known through the ages Who can stand on the day when God has had enough? Bridge I am patience personified Slow to anger, abounding in love Knowledge absolute and wisdom galore I am the anchor for the universal ought So if I gave you two, would you still ask for three? Or would you bite the hand that feeds? Two-sided mouth I can’t hear anymore Tell Me, when do you think my hourglass will finally run out Final Chorus The consequence of misinterpretation The insolence of misrepresentation The arrogance to suppress what’s been known through the ages Who can stand on the day when God has had enough? Had enough Had enough Had enough

Verse 1 Who am I that Thou art mindful of me? Who am I that You have called my name? Six feet deep in guilt and shame With no one left but me to blame I do not feel I deserve to be called your son Yet I hear a small voice still saying Chorus Recall the day you heard His voice Recall the night you made your choice Wake up, arise O sleeping one It’s time to claim what God has done Little one, know that I am near And that you’ve nothing left to fear So when you let go of pain held dear That’s when your ministry becomes clear Verse 2 Anxiety is sucking my air Temptation stalking everywhere Not again, can’t look back this time Deep within is where I cry I still feel the pain of past wounds yet Now I feel your soft wings carry me Chorus Recall the day you heard His voice Recall the night you made your choice Wake up, arise O sleeping one It’s time to claim what God has done Little one, know that I am near And that you’ve nothing left to fear So when you let go of pain held dear That’s when your ministry becomes clear Final Chorus Recall the day you heard His voice Recall the night you made your choice Wake up, arise O sleeping one It’s time to claim what God has done Little one, know that I am near And that you’ve nothing left to fear So when you let go of pain held dear That’s when you’ll finally see Ministry is born from suffering Surrender pain for healing And when the burden weighs you soul That’s when the fire shall take hold

Sodom 08:35
lyrics

Verse 1 There’s the stench of death filling this place Years of lust and shame wrinkling your face This is a war you must fight on your knees But it cannot be won alone so tell me How many times will you run back to hell Chorus Light, shining bright, is burning their eyes Signs in the skies to beckon their cries Don’t look back, just turn around You know that Sodom must burn to the ground Sodom must burn Verse 2 You’re a house divided in two Kill your dead before they consume This is a war won in realms unseen Not by might or by deed but surrendering, so Put down your pride and just come with Me Chorus Light, shining bright, to open their eyes Signs all around revealing their lies Don’t look back, just turn around For you know that Sodom must burn to the ground Sodom must burn Kill it! Final Chorus Light, shining bright, burning eyes, bringing judgment tonight Plot twisting hard as he sings, “This house is now mine!” Turn around, don’t look back, for it’s much to late, my friend, now Sodom must burn to the ground Sodom must burn Ending Sodom has no place in this house Let it burn

You Are Not Alone 05:06

Verse 1 As midnight strikes and black is all you see And terrified, “Has God forsaken me?” Did you lock your door? Did you say your prayers? Did you wander back to the devil’s lair? O ye of little faith, must thou be so scared? Chorus As you walk through the valley of the shadow of death Fear not, for you are not alone When the serpent strikes, don’t be afraid Be amazed for the battle is His own You are not alone Verse 2 Did you hear that noise? Is there something here? Are the monsters loose, waiting somewhere near? O ye of little faith, must thou live in fear? Chorus As you walk through the valley of the shadow of death Fear not, for you are not alone When the serpent strikes, don’t be afraid Be amazed for the battle is His own You are not alone

Rise 05:32

Verse 1 She just stood there alone in tears Remembering when she held Him dear This mother’s child from shepherd’s bed The Christ who’s put to sinner’s death Chorus She watched her baby take the fall As she holds her heart within her palm But in the face of tragedy lies the twist of His great destiny, He said, “Three days time and I will rise.” Verse 2 He ran away in dead of night As darkness flees from the light He remembered when he told his lie The look of love in Jesus’ eye Chorus He watched his Master take the fall As he hears the sound of rooster call But in the face of treachery lies the twist of love’s great irony, He said, “Three days time and I will rise.” Bridge As the scattered sheep mourn their shepherd’s fall Suddenly, they hear a familiar call “I send you into a world through you I must change and lo, I am with you always until the end of the age.” Chorus They watched their Healer take the fall The final Lamb that cleanses all But in the face of prophecy lies the twist of His great destiny, He said, “Three days time and I will rise.” Final Chorus They saw their Savior standing tall The Son of Man who changes all But in the face of majesty lies the twist of our great destiny, He said, “With your King you will rise.” “With your King you will rise.”

World Not Worthy 07:48
lyrics

Verse 1 Don’t be surprised When wolves abound To belong to truth is to bear His weight The cross to which you bow You are the outcast You are obscene “When the world hates you, Remember it hated Me.” Chorus This is what it’s like This is what it’s like This is what it’s like Within this world to follow Me Verse 2 Don’t be amazed When flames surround To be His heir is to bear His weight The scourge of a bleeding crown You are the problem You are diseased “When the world hates you, Remember it hated Me” Chorus 2 This is what it’s like This is what it’s like This is what it’s like When you decide to follow Me This is what it’s like This is what it’s like This is what it’s like Pick up your cross and follow Me Chorus 3 Stand tall, little one For My strength is in the fire Fear not, little lamb I will take you even higher Let Me wash your feet Let Me bring you from the mire Don’t fear a world unworthy Bridge Wars shall rage and nations fall Yet the end is still to come The sun shall fade and darken all As the moon turns into blood When you see the abomination Causing waves of desolation Know you are in the tribulation Prelude to hell’s annihilation Chorus 3 Stand tall, little one For My strength is in the fire Fear not, little lamb I will take you even higher Let Me wash your feet Let Me bring you from the mire Don’t fear a world unworthy
