THIS MEANS WAR!

01 This Means War!
Words and music: Bob Hartman

Son of the morning - highest of all
You had so much going till you took the fall
Had a place in the glory but you wanted it all
Impossible odds but you had the gall
It seemed so unlikely that you would rebel
Such a worthy opponent that you knew so well
But you went down fighting when you heard the bell
Took a third of all heaven when you went to hell

This means war - and the battle's still raging
War - and though both sides are waging
The Victor is sure and the victory secure
But till judgement we all must endure
This means war!

Then came the cross - you thought you had won
you thought you had conquered God's only Son
"So much for Jesus" you said in jest
Then you got a visit from an unwelcome guest

Now it's all over down to the wire
Counting the days to your own lake of fire
But you'll go down fighting for all that you're worth
To try to abolish His image on earth

02 He Came, He Saw, He Conquered
Words: Bob Hartman
Music: Bob Hartman and John Elefante

He came alone into the battle
He knew nobody else could face His foe
He left His throne, He left His glory
He knew nobody else could ever go
He called the bluff, He took the challenge
He came into this world to seek and save
No one could know, no one could fathom
The way to win was only through the grave
They laid Him in His tomb
They thought they'd sealed His doom
But He rose
He rose

He came, He saw, He conquered death and hell
He came, He saw, He is alive and well
He was, He is and only He forgives
He died, He rose, He lives
He came, He saw, He conquered

The doors were locked, they heard Him knocking
They were afraid they would be taken too
Familiar voice said "Come and follow"
Come and see the things the Lord can do
They went to were he lay
The stone was rolled away
He rose
He rose

He came into this world
He saw humanity
He heard the S.O.S.
He met the enemy
The enemy was conquered
The enemy was conquered

03 Get On Your Knees And Fight Like A Man
Words and music: Bob Hartman

Out on your own with your own self reliance
You've got no one to watch your back
You find yourself caught with no strong alliance
You've been left open for attack
Over your head the condition is graver
You've given ground you can't retrieve
The cards are stacked and they're not in your favour
But you've got an ace up your sleeve

Get on your knees and fight like a man
You'll pul down strongholds if you just believe you can
Your enemy will tuck his tail and flee
Get on your knees and fight like a man

Under the gun you've got no place to hide out
Backed in the corner on your own
This is one storm you are destined to ride out
One way to leave the danger zone

You've got the backbone to fight this tide
You've got the will to survive
You've got the weapon, it's at your side
You've got to learn to confide

04 I Am Available
Words and music: Bob Hartman

I don't have much to offer you, I don't have much to give
There's so much I may never be as long as I may live
And I may never be all I want to be although I'll always try
But if you choose me, to use me, there's just one reason why

I am available
I am available
I will go when You say go
I am available
I am available
I will stop when You say no
My whole life was incomplete till I laid it at Your feet
So use me as You will
I am available

I'm not the most dependable - sometimes you can't rely
There's no excuse, there's no defense, there's only one reply

I know that my ability is not Your main concern
It's my availability and willingness to learn

05 Kenaniah
Words: Bob Hartman, John Lawry and Danny Kingen
Music: John Lawry and Danny Kingen

Kenaniah of the Levites appointed by the king
To teach the songs of Zion, to lead them as they sing
Your song is not forgotten, we hear it in our souls
Let it burn and burn within us
And fan the sacred cools

Kenaniah, Kenaniah, we will sing your ancient song
Kenaniah, Kenaniah, we will sing it loud and strong

Gathered for the battle, Kenaniah led the way
As the singers closely followed him they all began to pray
The musicians all assembled, Kenaniah gave the word
Through the raging battle zone the anthem could be heard

Sing unto Jehovah of His wonderous ways
Sing a song of triumph, sing a victory song
And in the cloud of witnesses Kenaniah sings along

Kenaniah, Kenaniah, through the ages it will ring
Kenaniah, Kenaniah, to Jehovah we will sing

06 You Are My Rock
Words: Bob Hartman
Music: John and Dino Elefante

Moving through the shadows of uncertainty
Clinging to the words You said
Through my loneliness and fear I long to feel You near
But I hear another voice inside my head
But then the darkness is broken into
By inescapable light from You
I'm never standing alone

You are my rock, my fortress, my shield
You are my rock, let Your strength be revealed
My rock, my comfort, my peace, my salvation, my refuge, my God
You are my rock

Through the desperate night my soul cries out to you
Longing just to hear Your voice
In the quiet solitude I sense Your magnitude
And I feel the strength that makes my heart rejoice
You are the anchor securing me
I'll never drift on the shifting sea
You are the eye of the storm

Through all the loneliness this world can ever bring
I'll take my refuge in the shadow of Your wing

07 The Water Is Alive
Words and music: Bob Hartman

Gazing out across this desert world
There are thirsty souls everywhere you go
Searching for a drink to satisfy
Their thirsty hearts till they overflow
They came up empty when the sun goes down
And they look around and they wonder why
Their grand delusion seems to quickly fade
When their own supply leaves them high and dry
They could be drinking living water till they're satisfied
Whosoever will won't ever be denied

The water is alive
There is no doubt
The water is alive
Feel it flowing out
Coming from within
And I will never thirst again

And now beneath the desert stars tonight
The oasis waits for those who roam
It seems so hard to think there was a time
That I used to call this wasteland home
He lets me drink the living water till I'm satisfied
Whosoever will won't ever be denied

Now and forever it will satisfy your thirsty soul
Now and forever living water makes your spirit whole

You could be drinking living water till you're satisfied
Whosoever will will never be denied

08 Don't Let Your Heart Be Hardened
Words and music: Bob Hartman

Don't let your heart be hardened - don't let your love grow cold
May it always stay so childlike - may it never grow too old
Don't let your heart be hardened - may you always know the cure
Keep it broken before Jesus; keep it thankful, meek, and pure

May it always feel compassion - may it beat as one with God's
May it never be contrary - may it never be at odds
May it always be forgiving - may it never know conceit
May it always be encouraged - may it never know defeat

May your heart be always open - never satisfied with right
May your heart be filled with courage and be strengthened with all might

Let His love rain down upon you
Breaking up your fallow ground
Let it loosen all the binding
Till only tenderness is found

09 Dead Reckoning
Words and music: Bob Hartman

It's a new day at last but you're sinking so fast
If left up to your head you'd remember the past
But a new day has come and new life has begun
Let the old pass away, reconsider it done
There's got to be a reckoning
When you feel the Spirit beckoning

It's a dead reckoning
Trade the old for the new
It's a dead reckoning
Learn to die daily till the new life comes through
It's a dead reckoning

You've got nothing to lose but you do have to choose
When the Spirit says yes but the flesh will refuse
And although you feel odd there are may who trod
Till they're dead to the world but alive unto God
Some still believe it can't be done
To the steady the race is still won

And the battle is already through
And it's so hard to believe but it's true
On a hill long ago where the blood runs below
Died a King, two thieves and you

10 All The King's Horses
Words and music: Bob Hartman

It's an age old score that's got to be settled
It's an age old debt that's got to be paid
When the King breaks through in all of His glory
To claim His throne and the world that He made
The nations wait with their armies gathered
With Jerusalem firmly under their thumbs
There will be no peace in Armageddon valley
Till the trumpet sounds and the cavalry comes
When He arrives He will conquer them all
Take back the ground given after the fall

All the King's horses and all the King's men
Gonna ride down from heaven from where they've been
All the King's horses and all the King's men
Gonna put this world back together again
Gonna put this world back together

On a great white horse the King will come riding
He's the One they call Faithful and True
With His eyes of fire and blood dipped clothing
He had a name nobody knew
And by His side ride the armies of heaven
Dressed linen clean and white as the snow
Riding down to earth with a vengeance so holy
For a one-day battle that will trample their foe
And when the dust and the smoke disappears
The King will reign for a thousand years

When the lion lays down with the lamb
There'll be peace in the land of Abraham
They will beat their swords into plows
When every tongue declares and every knee bows
