01 Come And Dine
Words and music: Greg X. Volz The wealth of the wicked is stored for the righteous I'm talking about the Father's wealth I pray above all things that your soul will prosper And that you'll be in good health For toilsome labour is meaningless It's like chasing after the wind For the man who pleases God Has wealth handed over to him So come and dine, come to the Father's house Come and dine, the banquet table is set Come and dine, come to the Father's house Come and dine, where all your needs are met The banquet was set, the guests were invited The king had sent invitations, all was prepared Everything was ready, but those invited paid him no attention Then he said to his servants "Go to the highways and to the streets" And that day the poor and hungry came To be part of the King's wedding feast So come to the Father's house, the banquet table is set |

04 They That Wait
Words and music: Greg X. Volz They that wait upon the Lord They shall rise up with wings as eagles They shall walk and shall not faint They shall run and not be weary, no They shall learn to run the race They shall go forth boldly, holy Many times I've walked alone going my own way Many times I've run ahead when I'd forget to pray Then I'd feel His hand on me and hear the Saviour say "I'll always be the potter, you'll always be the clay!" The name of the Lord is a strong tower He's prepared a place, for the righteous run to it And there they will be safe Be still and know that He is God And give Him all your praise For you can trust the Lord, your God, He is never late |

He blocked my way so I could not pass I was shrouded in darkness I found myself in the lowest pit I'd gone down to the darkest depths Though I hoped for good, evil came I couldn't get rid of the ball and chain I felt the sorrow, the grief, the pain Then from my lips came this refrain Help me, help me, help me, Jesus I'm down my knees Help me, Jesus... I'm calling out, "Please" Help me, Jesus... I've nowhere to run Help me, Jesus... Please call me Your son I didn't know if I would survive I'd lost it all, but I was still alive I found nowhere I could place the blame But when I prayed for my friends A double portion came...

10 Ready Or Not... Here He Comes
Words and music: Greg X. Volz When I was a boy I used to sing E-I-E-I, Oli, Oli, Oxen Free, where'd everybody go? We'd run and find a place to hide not wanting to be found Every time we'd run away these words would resound "Ready or not, here I come" And we'd find a place to run "Ready or not, here I come" And the game had just begun When I was a child I used to hear the teachers say "Will you ever grow up, and put childish things away?" As I grew older I learned if I would pray I would hear another voice and this is what He'd say "Ready or not, here I come" It was the voice of God's own Son "Ready or not, here I come" And there's no place you can run He's coming as a thief, a thief in the night All that is hidden, will come to light For the day of the Lord will be feared So harken to His word and draw near... I will draw near Ready or not, here He comes Every eye will see God's Son Ready or not, here He comes There'll be no place you can run He's coming... Ready or not! |
11 Sometimes... Kisses Aren't Enough
Words and music: Greg X. Volz Dedicated to my bride - Barbara, and to Jesus' bride - the Church Sometimes kisses aren't enough When life gets hard and times get tough That's when the Father's arms will hold you Then you'll know His love is true Then you'll know His love is true There comes a time when all the fighting ends And you find there's nothing to defend But if you will repent, forgive, speak blessings and go on He'll supernaturally restore the bond There comes a time when all the feelings fade You must rely on the foundation laid But if you build your house upon the Rock of Jesus Christ He will bring you joy and give you life Even though you didn't see Him And I know you didn't see Him He was there all along He was there all along Watching your comings and goings Keeping an eye on you Even without you knowing It was He who carried you through Knowing that love would draw you Knowing you needed a touch Knowing that it's through giving that you receive so much |
12 I Shall Know Him
Words: Fanny J. Crosby (1820-1915) Music: Greg X. Volz When my life's work is ended and I cross the swelling tide When the bright and glorious morning I shall see I shall know my Redeem when I reach the other side His smile will be the first to welcome me I shall know Him, I shall know Him And redeemed by His side I shall stand I shall know Him, I shall know Him By the print of the nails in His hand Oh, the soul thrilling rapture when I view His blessed face And the luster of His kindly beaming eye How my heart will praise Him for His mercy and His grace That prepared for me a mansion in the sky Through the gates of the city in a robe of spotless white He will lead me where no tears will ever fall In the glad song of ages I will mingle with delight But I long to see my Saviour first of all |
