GREG X. VOLZ - THE NEXT SPHERE

01 Psalm 124
Words and music: Greg X. Volz

Had it not been the Lord who was on our side
Let Israel now say
Had it not been the Lord who was on our side
When men rose up against us today
Had it not been the Lord who was on our side
Let Israel now say
Had it not been the Lord who was on our side
When men rose up against us today

The waters would have engulfed us
Streams would have swept over our soul
But we have escaped like a bird from the snare
As the Word of the Lord hath foretold
As the Word of the Lord hath foretold

The Word of the Lord foretold
02 God Had Mercy
Words and music: Greg X. Volz

God had mercy on me, on me, God had mercy on me
I don't know just where I would be
If God hadn't had mercy on me, God had mercy on me

I know a place a man can go
Where there is rest for the soul
Lay your all at the foot of the cross
There deliverance will flow
There deliverance will flow

When I laid my all on the line and I gave up control
I was cleansed by the blood of the Lamb
And I made heaven my goal, I made heaven my goal
Oh yeah
03 The Great Jehovah
Words and music: Greg X. Volz

Oh seed of Abraham and His servants
Oh sons of Jacob and His chosen ones
He is the Lord our God that is with you
Remember the wonders He has done

He has remembered His covenant forever
The word which He commanded
To a thousand generations
To you I give the land of Canaan
As a portion you'll inherit as My sons, oh yeah

He brought His people out of Egypt and bondage
He spread a cloud for the day and a fire by night
He gave them bread out of heaven
And water from the rock
The presence of the Lord was their guiding light

There is none like the great Jehovah
He rules from the heavens to the deep blue sea
Besides Him there is no other
The Lord our God will destroy our enemies, oh yeah
Destroy our enemies
04 The Next Sphere
Words and music: Greg X. Volz

Well, if you walk that road
Where there's such a heavy load
And you've believed every word that
The world has told is sincere
And you lived in fear
It's time to change your mind and draw near
Up to the next sphere, up to the next sphere
Goin' to the next sphere

It doesn't take much time
When you've made up your mind
To take the next step, leave the past behind
And draw near, up the next sphere
For great is His love and it's given from above
And that's clear
Up in the next sphere, yeah

If you seek, you'll surely find Him
Jesus is the Son of Righteousness, I must confess
Going to the next sphere, yeah

There's a time to live and a time to die
So many people sit and wonder why, it's not clear
They're not in the next sphere
For great is His love and it's given from above
And that's clear
Up in the next sphere, yeah
05 The Spirit Of The Lord
Words and music: Greg X. Volz

He's coming back... I see the Lord
He's coming back... I see the Lord
He's coming back... I see the Lord

That's what the Spirit of the Lord can do
That's what the Spirit of the Lord can do
That's what the Spirit of the Lord can do

When I was hungry, you fed me
When I was naked, you clothed me
When I was cold, you gave me a place to stay
I was warmed by the fire when I couldn't repay

He will bind up the broken-hearted and comfort all who mourn in Zion
He'll bring freedom to the prisoners, sight to the blind
Release the oppressed and leave the past behind
06 Those old ways
Words and music: Greg X. Volz

Just got to go, just got to go
Those old ways they've just go to go
Just got to go, just got to go
Those old ways they've just go to go

God's doin' a new thing, can you believe it
God's doin' a new thing, if you just receive it
Just got to go, just got to go
Those old ways they've just go to go

Found myself one early morning
Trying to make a plan
Thinkin' I was wiser than ordinary men
I'd come a long way from where I'd been before
Then I heard Jesus tellin' me, "There's a whole lot more"

Even I won't go back to the things of yesterday
But I will get down on my knees
And I will learn to pray
God will open up the door to a new light of day
If we leave the past behind and go all the way
07 Gonna Give It Up
Words and music: Greg X. Volz

Gonna give it up, gonna give it up to the Lord
Gonna give it up, and sing in one accord
Gonna give it up, I'm gonna give it up to the Lord

You can't outgive the Lord, His Word He will fulfill
When I started to pay my tithes
He began to pay my bills
So I'm gonna give it up
I'm gonna give it up to the Lord of Lords
Yes, he's the Lord of lords

Gonna give it up, gonna give it up to the Lord
Gonna give it up, to the one that I adore
Gonna give it up, I'm gonna give it up to the Lord

My father owns the cattle on a thousands hills
And if I have a need, He just sells a bull
So I'm gonna give it up
I'm gonna give it up to the Lord
I'm gonna give it up
08 Who?
Words and music: Greg X. Volz

Who has measured the waters
By the hollow of His hand
And marked off the heavens by His span?
Who has measured the waters
By the hollow of His hand
And marked off the heavens by His span?
And marked off the heavens by His span?

Who weighed the mountains in a balance
And the hills on a pair of scales
Who has directed the Spirit of the Lord
Or as His counselor informed Him of His ways?
Who? Who?
Can anybody tell me who? Nobody

Do you not know? Have you not heard?
Has it not been declared
From the beginning of the world
Or understood from the foundation of the earth

Do you know? Can anybody tell me who? Nobody
Who? Can anybody tell me who? Nobody
Somebody will tell you!
09 You Are My Rock
Words and music: Greg X. Volz

In You o Lord I take refuge
Let me not be put to shame
Hear my cry, o Lord, and save me
In You o Lord I take refuge
Let me not be put to shame
Hear my cry, o Lord, and save me, for I rely on You

You are my Rock, my strength and my fortress
My strength and my fortress, o God
You are my Rock, my help in times of trouble
Deliver me, o God, from my enemies

Lord, hear my cry, for You are my refuge
My mouth will tell of Your righteousness
And I will declare Your power to this generation
So all who obey You will be blessed
Will be blessed

You are my hope, You are my strong tower
My strength and my power comes from You
You are my shield, Your way is perfect
O God, deliver from my enemies
10 The Risen Lord
Words and music: Greg X. Volz

We sing a song to the risen Lord
He paid a price we could not afford
We stand together in one accord
We sing a song to the risen Lord

And we sing hallelujah, hallelujah
Glory to the Lamb
And we sing hallelujah, hallelujah
Glory to the Lamb

Give Him glory
