Let Freedom Ring Lyrics

Deep within the heart has always known that there was freedom
Somehow breathed into the very soul alive
The prisoner, the powerless, the saved have always known it
There’s something that keeps reaching for the sky

Even life begins because a baby fights for freedom
And songs we love to sing have freedom’s theme
Some have walked through fire and flood to find a place of freedom
And some faced hell itself for freedom’s dream


CHORUS:
Let freedom ring wherever minds know what it means to be in chains
Let freedom ring wherever hearts know pain
Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key
We can be free and we can sing --- let freedom ring

God built freedom into every fiber of creation
And He meant for us to all be free and whole
When my Lord bought freedom with the blood of His redemption
His cross stamped pardon on my very soul

I’ll sing it out with every breath, I’ll let the whole world hear it
This hallelujah anthem of the free
That iron bars and heavy chains can never hold us captive
The Son has made us free and free indeed

CHORUS:

Let freedom ring down through the ages from a hill called Calvary
Let freedom ring wherever hearts know pain
Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key
You can be free and you can sing let freedom ring
Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key
You can be free and you can sing let freedom ring
You can be free and you can sing --- let freedom ring --- let freedom ring

God's Been Good Lyrics

LATELY I'VE BEEN LOOKING BACK, ALONG THIS WINDING ROAD
TO THE OLD FAMILIAR MARKERS OF THE MERCIES I HAVE KNOWN
I KNOW IT MAY SOUND SIMPLE BUT IT'S MORE THAN A CLICHE
no other words TO TELL YOU, THAN TO SAY

CHORUS

GOD'S BEEN GOOD IN MY LIFE
I FEEL BLESSED BEYOND MY WILDEST DREAMS 
WHEN I GO TO SLEEP EACH NIGHT
AND THOUGH I'VE HAD MY SHARE OF HARD TIMES, 
I WOULDN'T CHANGE THEM IF I COULD
'CAUSE THROUGH IT ALL, GOD'S BEEN GOOD

TIMES have passed AND I CAN SEE THAT I'VE CRIED SOME BITTER TEARS
BUT HIS ARMS were wide AROUND ME, AS I FACED MY darkest FEARS
YOU SEE I'VE HAD More GAINS THAN LOSSES AND I'VE KNOWN MORE JOY THAN HURT
AS HIS GRACE ROLLED DOWN UPON ME UNDESERVED

CHORUS

BRIDGE

GOD HAS BEEN MY FATHER, MY SAVIOR AND MY FRIEND
HIS LOVE WAS MY BEGINNING, AND HIS LOVE WILL BE MY END
I COULD SPEND FOREVER TRYING TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING HE said
BUT THE BEST way to say it today

CHORUS


Blood Washed Band Lyrics

We're a band of Christian soldiers fighting Satan everyday
We're standing up for Jesus while we're kneeling down to pray
If His precious blood has cleansed you and washed away your sin
That makes you a member of the blood washed band

CHORUS:
Praise God I'm a member of the blood washed band
I've been washed in the soul cleansing blood of the land
I was bound by chains of sin 'til one day the Master came 
And made me a member of the blood washed band

God's children are advancing marching 'til we reach the goal
For the battle's is almost over we'll soon be goin' home
I can hear the sound of angels as the saints go marching in
Singing praises to the Captain of the blood washed band
[Repeat Chorus]



He Gave Me The Well Lyrics

I came to Jesus, I was thirsty and dry; 
Nothing could tame this longing of mine. 
For a small drink of water is all I would ask, 
But He gave me something He knew would last. 

CHORUS:
For up from my soul came a river of life, 
A spring of salvation that shall never run dry; 
This story of mercy is now mine to tell, 
I asked him for water, He gave me the well. 

It's hard to believe that I'm part of his bride, 
For no-one could ever feel more worthless than I; 
For years I've been searching for life giving source, 
But I did not find one 'till I found the Lord. 
[Repeat Chorus]

For up from my soul came a river of life, 
A spring of salvation that shall never run dry; 
This story of mercy is now mine to tell, 
I asked him for water, He gave me the well.



Stand Still Lyrics

The Father has a plan. Though it's hard to see it now 
You f eel you're walking all alone. But He is there no doubt 
When the storm around you rages, And you're tossed to and fro 
When you're f aced with life's decisions, Not sure which way to go 
CHORUS:
Stand still and let God move, 
Standing still is hard to do 
When you f eel you have reached the end, 
He'll make a way for you 
Stand still and let God move 

When the enemy surrounds you, And the walls are closing in 
When the tide is swiftly rising, And you wonder where He's been 
Friend, there never was a moment, That His arms weren't reaching out 
You can rest assured and be secure, God is moving right now 
[REPEAT CHORUS 2x]
The answer will come, But only in His time 

Stand still and let God move, Stand still and let God move

Just Pray Lyrics


I was discouraged when no answer came
See I prayed for years and I still saw no change
I was ready to give up on my wish coming true
But when I prayed that last time his power broke through

Chorus
And prayer is just as big as God is
Prayer is just as strong as God is strong
Prayer can reach as far as God can reach
Don't ever give up just pray just pray
Don't ever give up just pray

We have been given a means to the throne
Of the one who's potential is yet to be known
There is no limit as to what God can do
So just keep on praying he;s listening to you

[Repeat Chorus]


How Can We Reach A World We Never Touch Lyrics

He walked along the shores of Galilee. 
From clay He formed the healing balm, 
That caused the blind to see. 
When stones of wrath lay heavy in their hands, 
He knelt to write His mercy in the sand. 

Jesus came to set the captives free, 
Showed us by the way He lived 
The way we need to be. 
Our love is more than words could ever say, 
We must touch them with compassion, 
To help them find their way. 

Chorus
How can we reach a world we never touch. 
How can we show them Christ, 
If we never show them love? 
Just to say we care will never be enough. 
How can we reach a world we never touch? 

Could we be so busy being saved? 
Trying to impress a world that’s long since lost its way? 
We pride ourselves in being set apart, 
Yet we don’t take time to touch a broken heart. 

Even if we found the time to care, 
Would we take the risk involved in always being there? 
O we hold the very thing they need so much, 
Sometimes the Word of God can pass 
Thro’ just a simple touch. 

[Repeat Chorus]

We hide behind these walls, 
And the security of friends, 
While beyond the stained glass windows 
The world is lost in sin.
[Repeat Chorus]



For I Am Crucified With Christ Lyrics

As I look back on what I thought was living
I'm amazed at the price I choose to pay
And to think I ignored what really mattered
Cause I thought the sacrifice would be too great

But when I finally reached the point of giving in
I found the cross was calling even then
And even though it took dying to survive
I've never felt so much alive.

[Chorus:]
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live
Not I but Christ that lives within me
His Cross will never ask for more than I can give
For its not my strength but His
There's no greater sacrifice
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live

As I hear the Savior call for daily dying
I will bow beneath the weight of Calvary
Let my hands surrender to His piercing purpose
That holds be to the cross but sets me free

I will glory in the power of the cross
The things I thought were gain I count as loss
And with His suffering I identify
And by His resurrection power I am alive

[Chorus]

And I will offer all I have
So that His cross is not in vain
For I found to live is Christ
And to die is truly gain

[Chorus]




Have You Been With Jesus? - Lyrics

HAVE YOU BEEN WITH JESUS?

In the midst of the throng stood Peter and John
Preaching the ONE that they love
He died in your stead but God raised Him from the dead
The people cried and this is what they said,

CHORUS:
Have you been with Jesus? Has He changed your life?
Have you been with Jesus? Was He the sacrifice?
You boldly proclaim His precious name
Through your life we can see were the reason He came
O yes, we can say, you’ve been with Jesus?”
In this world full of sin there are lost souls to win
Are we telling them of Jesus’ love?
He’s the truth to light the way
They pass me everyday
My friend this is what they will say
Lord help me to be a witness for Thee
My life at your feet I lay
Let others see your love in me
So this is what they will say

[Repeat Chorus]
