01 Enter In
Words: Bob Hartman Music: Jim Cooper and John Elefante Once a year for sacrifice just one priest could pay the price And step inside the inner veil to make the people free Temple stood the same for years till the Nazarene appears Things will never be the same since 33 A.D. When He spoke and bowed His head He who saved the world was dead Then the earth began to shake Heaven's wall began to break Opening the Holy place The temple veil is torn in two The way is clear for me and you We can enter in, enter in Into Heaven's Holy place We can enter in, enter in Boldly by His blood we can approach His throne of grace We can enter in a new and living Way By our faith He will receive us when we pray Now without a second look we forget what all it took To be seen as innocent by His Holy eyes Never thinking foolishly there is something He won't see For our lack of righteousness there is no disguise He won't look the other way Someone's life will have to pay Once for all it has been done Taken out upon His Son He remembers it no more Now for us He is the door Opened up forevermore We can enter in, enter in We can enter in His gates with thankfulness and praise Into the once forbidden Holy place We can live in goodness and in mercy all our days We can enter in a new and living Way By our faith He will receive us when we pray We don't have to be afraid to seek His face We can enter in |
02 Think Twice
Words: Bob Hartman Music: John Elefante, Ronny Cates and Jim Cooper You can think of times when you had the right chance You could make a choice when nobody could see You could think of ways of defending your deeds Justify the way that you wanted to be Wait just a minute Wait just a minute Hey, did you ever think twice Something inside says stay away Hey, did you ever think twice When there's still time you can go the other way Hey, did you ever think twice If you don't bother, gonna pay the price Hey, did you ever think twice You can think of things that you wanted to try You can think of things that you wish you could see You could go a way that would seem so right Thinking of a place that you wish you could be Face to face with sin You better think again, you better think again Take another look for a second time And give a second thought to where you draw the line |
03 Heart Of A Hero
Words: Brian Wooten Music: Jim Cooper and Brian Wooten The fearless giant faced a brave young shepherd boy He said, "Your God is dead and your nation soon destroyed" But the son of Jesse proved what God can do in the heart of a hero Three men refused to bow to the idol made of gold They knew they could burn for not doing what they're told They'd rather face the fire than to kneel to a god made by hands It takes the heart of a hero To stand for what's right It takes the heart of a hero To lay down your life There are idols to be worshipped and giants in the land They'll drag you down, attack your faith and slay you if they can So let your heart be filled with the courage and strength of the Lord Have the faith of a child And the power of God And when you call on His name He will give you the heart of a hero Will you stand for what's right? Would you lay down your life? Do you have heart? |
04 More Than A Thousand Words
Words and music: Bob Hartman I saw Your picture hanging on the wall Just an artist rendering that was all The way You looked down in Your agony Jogged my memory And helped me to see If a picture's worth a thousand words Then it won't help me at all Only words are never gonna say What I feel for You today More than a thousand words won't say More than my life will not repay More than a thousand things I do Won't make it up to You I stopped a moment sitting all alone Without a waiting call on the phone Looked like a picture from a magazine More serenity than I've ever seen And if words cannot describe this day Or the beauty of this scene Tell me, how can I expect the words I say To reflect the things I mean More than a thousand words won't tell How You forgave me when I feel More than a thousand words won't do To say I love You Simple words will never quite express My gratitude to You Until I cross the barrier Mortal words will have to do |
05 No Doubt
Words: Bob Hartman Music: John Elefante and Ronny Cates There are times when you feel like you can't go on There are times when you feel like giving in And there are times when you feel like you can't try anymore There are times of trouble in believing This test of your faith will last As long as it takes to pass Till you have no more doubt you'll endure And your faith will emerge true and pure No doubt it'll be alright With God it'll all work together for good No doubt in the end it will be understood No doubt it'll all work out With faith He can move any mountain for us No doubt in the power of Jesus And after all is done we find out All we really need to have is no doubt There's a time to take a reckless leap of faith There's a time to be cautious and to wait And there's a way of learning from the past That this time of trouble won't last And sometimes we want to think we know The ways He will choose to make us grow But it's never the way of or choosing And we can't always see what He's using There will be winters in the seasons of our soul With a cold and bitter wind that chills our lives But our faith can be building a fire That will warm us till springtime arrives |
06 Right Place
Words and music: Bob Hartman Got no place to run, gotta look up to see the bottom No visible support - no one there you can lean on You're all on your own - you know it's sink or swim There is no doubt about it, you have to look to Him When you think you've had enough No more you can do When you feel like giving up deadline is in view When your time is almost gone You haven't got a clue Now's the time to turn your face You're in the right place - trusting only Him You're in the right place - kick back and just depend You're in the right place - to see what He can do You're in the right place - He will come through When you're sinking fast - takin' water in your boat No one to bail you out - you think it's all she wrote The odds are against you - your chances slim to none A hopeless situation - you got no place to run No one has a rescue plan Waiting in the wings Now's the time to call His name He can do all things When your self-reliance fails You still have a prayer You will have to trust His grace When you abide, He will provide Never shorthanded When you will pray, He'll make a way He won't leave you stranded |
07 Two Are Better Than One
Words: Bob Hartman Music: Ronny Cates You can call me up in the night I will pray till you win the fight We're more than friends We walk together Through any weather We sharpen each other I'll be there when you call Lift you up when you fall Two are better than one You will pray when I'm weak Help me back on my feet Two are better than one Two are better than one When I start to cross the line You just seem to read my mind And then you bust me Then turn around and trust me Come to the rescue I'll do the same for you I don't want to go solo It's always better with two I just want someone to lift me up To pray and help me get through |
08 Sincerely Yours
Words: Bob Hartman Music: Jim Cooper, Brian Wooten and Andy Denton I've lived in my own way And found that there's a price to pay And I felt the emptiness Without Your tenderness Now before You I confess Here is all I have to give I offer up this life I live I am sincerely Yours Now in all sincerity I give You all of me (Jesus) I am sincerely Yours This prodigal is standing here Now with all my senses clear For all You gave to me I spent it foolishly You've been waiting patiently Now I feel the weight on me is lifting You've washed away the past And now there is a new day dawning As long as I keep holding As long as I keep holding fast I am sincerely Yours Sincerely Yours |
09 Think On These Things
Words and music: Bob Hartman In solitary times the thoughts run through my mind Some from the very throne some origins unknown I know there's a danger waiting Thoughts held in captivity The vain imaginations that long to be set free I hold the key With thoughts of purity Whatever things are pure and true, (I want to) Think on these things Whatever things are filled with virtue Think on these things When my mind begins to stray I want to think the other way Think on these things Think on these things Into the conscious flow the tributaries go The source from which they start Abundance of the heart My mind has a mind of its own Choosing negativity Only the thoughts of virtue Withhold the raging sea I turn the tide By choosing to abide Whatever things are honest Whatever things are just Whatever things are lovely I will put my trust In the things that never cease To keep my heart in perfect peace |
10 For All You're Worth
Words: Bob Hartman Music: Jim Cooper Hold on to life for all you're worth You know He died for all you're worth He loves you You have the greatest value He gave His life for all For all you're worth By this time you know the story There's nothing there you haven't heard You can cross the line of knowing And your heart believing His Word Do you think He brought you this far Just to leave you wondering where and who you are Just think back to where it began Jesus called your name and then you just took His hand Even gold still needs refining Burning off impurities Even diamonds grow in value When they're cut so carefully There's no life beyond His repair You will find Him waiting just beyond a prayer He invested all that He had Don't you think it hurts Him inside to see you sad He has His eye on you You have the greatest value He gave His life for all For all you're worth For all you're worth |
11 We Hold Our Hearts Out To You
Words: Bob Hartman Music: John Elefante and Dino Elefante Here we are gathered once again under Your Name Thinking of the ways we all have caused You shame But we can find consolation in the things that You said We are all bound in our hearts by a common thread We look to You who made us one To give us strength and bring our hearts back to where we've begun So together we hold all our hearts out to You And we all can believe You know just what to do Heal and forgive us, make us all just like new Jesus, we hold our hearts out to You Jesus, we hold our hearts out to You Sometimes we forget what it is that brings us here Sometimes we forget what it means to be sincere And there are times we are bothered when we don't seem to feel Then we all focus on the One who makes things real We look around and we feel strong We feel Your presence then we that this is where we belong And when we hold out all our lost and shattered dreams You will be binding every heart with broken seams With a warm and loving hand You understand |
