| 01 Wake The Dead
Word and music: John Schlitt, Mark Heimermann and Dann Huff Wake the dead, wake the dead Take up the call and carry His commission Wake the dead, wake the dead Don't be content and just walk away Wake up! There's a job to be done You've got a calling that you haven't begun For too long you've been coasting along You think salvation is the end of it all (The fields are ready but the workers few) You're not heeding the call (It's time the body starts to shout the news) And wake the world up to God's invitation Wake the dead, wake the dead Take up the call and carry His commission Wake the dead, wake the dead Don't be content and just walk away There's too much to do to just walk away Darkness blinds a new generation Searching for its place Banished by their own choice of living From His shining grace (But even with such hardened hearts) God cares that they will be found (He had a plan right from the start) To break their chains by His testimony Wake the dead, wake the dead Don't be complacent with your own salvation Wake the dead, wake the dead Got to lead the lost searching for their way (The fields are ready but the workers few) You're not heeding the call (It's time the body starts to shout the news) And wake the world to God's invitation |
| 02 Don't Look Back
Words and music: John Schlitt and Jim Cooper Every morning as I look into the mirror Yesterday's mistakes are so painfully clear I could let them take me under Be a source of misery Or I could understand the power Of the blood that's shed for me Often I'm reminded that there's nothing we can do That would take away the sacrifice for me and you So when you feel the guilt of the enemy's attack Just know you've been forgiven and don't look back (Don't look back) Yesterday is over, today is a brand new day (Don't look back) It's not the answer, no it's not the way You can't go forward when you keep lookin' back How can you think about the future When you're haunted by the past? God don't want you to live like that Put your hand to the plow and don't look back I know the straight and narrow Is the path that I should see Yet I'm often tempted by the way it used to be Seems like only good times keep flashing Through my brains But then I stop and I remember The cost, all the pain (Don't look back) Those old temptations were never good for you (Don't look back) There's nothing there that can help you get through Why do we dig up the old man When there's so much ahead? Why can't we do what Jesus said And let the dead bury the dead? |
| 03 Show Me The Way
Words and music: John Schlitt and Tommy Greer Living in this space of time I have to wonder where I'm going Just who I am, what I'm supposed to be Searching for that certain sign That points me in the right direction The path to take, the one that's right for me Choices will come my way, but which ones to choose Can't do it on my own, there's too much to lose Take me, guide me, lead me I'm trusting in You, Lord Teach me and show me the way Break me, love me, forgive me I'm asking of You, Lord Take me and show me the way Knowing if I stand alone I could never see the way that is meant for me The life that we could share Learning lessons I must know From the source who has the answers of life itself The one who really cares In life there's so many turns, which way to go When You're beside me, Lord, You're in control I know for me You had the perfect plan I know you had it before time began Don't want to listen to what others say Just show me the way |
| 04 Inside Of You
Words and music: Billy Luz Sprague, Mark Heimermann, Dann Huff and John Schlitt As a child you used to dream There wasn't anything that you couldn't do Learn to fly on paper wings But somebody told you dreams don't come true Some settle for a lie and fake it And try to keep their hearts from breakin' But you defy the odds and make it worth the going through Oh, inside of you there's a heart full of dreams Like the gold in a stream to be uncovered Inside of you lies a soul made to shine Yes, a child meant to fly and discover All the wonders God can do Inside of you Every day you face the fear With a measure of faith that you need And even now all heaven cheers For the miracle you're destined to be True bravery is bought with sorrow Life is but a gift we borrow And all the promise of tomorrow waits to be revealed Where dreams can still come true All the wonders God can do Inside of you |
| 05 Let It Show
Words and music: John Schlitt, Mark Heimermann and Dann Huff So many friends are being led about Down the path of life's deceptions You'd speak the truth but fear to let it out You don't want to face rejection No matter what the cost You've got to let them know The key to life you've found You've got to let it show Say you've been forgiven Like the life you're livin' Don't hold back Just let it show You've gotta let it show Even when they shake you Really try to break you That's the time to let it show Let it show, let it show Come on, let it show You've gotta let it show Let it show Some would say you're standing all alone They can't see who's there beside you But standing strong commitment really shows Now they see what faith can lead to You've got to be the fire That goes against the flow You've got to let it shine You've got to let it show |
| 06 Carry The Burden
Words and music: John Schlitt, Dann Huff and David Huff Life, it's a race that keeps running At each turn of the road The direction to go you keep learning At every junction there's another call To make decisions that could change it all Too many options to go alone But you don't have to do it on your own If you... Let Jesus carry the burden And remember His words that were spoken Let Jesus carry the burden Trusting in the price of the sacrifice Shed for you Are you a leader with a strong belief Or are you one more in the crowd? Do you live like you do 'cause your friends want you to Or do you choose to stand out? Don't let the pressures of the status quo Force your walk into a danger zone Cut through the bondage Give Him the time To guide your path to be a light that shines If you... When a problem you face starts to break you If you lift it in prayer Together you'll get through Yes, He's faithful to always be there No need to worry You're not alone Don't have to try to do it on your own Just... |
| 07 One By One
Words and music: Joe Fair, John Schlitt and Rich Gootee Lord, Your love turned my world around Your words lifted me up as I was going down But even now, as I stand tall and strong There are so many more searching for where they belong If I can reach just one If I can touch just one If I can help just one One by one One man could do so much Sharing the life that he lives through God's loving touch That light that shines from the mountain top It is a beacon of strenght and of hope that no one can rob He has given so much Freely given so much Don't hide you light in the dark Just let it shine |
| 08 Try Understanding His Heart
Words and music: John Schlitt, Jim Cooper and Ronny Cates So many memories, they color what you see Try to forget, but they don't go away Keep searching for escape Some move that you can make To help you make it through just one more day Why do you try to make it all on your own? Why can't you understand you're never alone? Try understanding His heart His love for you, it is never ending Try understanding His heart It has for you enough mercy, grace And strength for you to face it all Understand His heart You know you've made mistakes, you say it's way too late Think now that no one cares, all your bridges are burned Don't listen to those lies Don't have to compromise It's time you realize, there's so much to learn Don't let your circumstances dictate the show There is a better way This you should know With Him there is a strength to carry on He paid the price, He sacrificed His love is there for you He wants to help you through Now what you gonna do? You know it's up to you He wants to take command And He's up for the fight Don't try to run away He has so much to say It's what you need to hear It'll change your life |
| 09 The Hard Way
Words and music: Tom Wanca and Mark H. Chesshir I see the mountains and valleys to cross And I wonder am I able My heart starts pounding as I count the cost Am I ready, will I be faithful Sometimes it's so hard for me To live the way I believe But I will not forsake Him I know who I am I know where I've been I know sometimes love takes the hard way There's no giving up There's no giving in I know sometimes love takes the hard way His anguish echoed against a dark sky All of heaven watched in silence And from that mountain He looked through dim eyes As the world mocked the Messiah He crossed that valley alone Exchanged His life for my soul He would not forsake me I know who I am I know where I've been I know sometimes love takes the hard way There's no turning back There's no giving in I know sometimes love takes the hard way For now, forever, I take my stand I place my whole life in Your hands |
| 10 The Road To Calvary
Words and music: Rich Gootee, John Schlitt and Jim Cooper When your back's about to break Underneath the heavy load And you can't take one more step On that rough and rocky road When your burdens bring you to your knees Think on Him on that road to Calvary When your friends have turned away And left you on your own And you can't find your way back Through the darkness all alone When you want to give up and cry out, "Lord, why me?" Think of Him on that road to Calvary On that road, He walked for you and me On that road, through all the pain and misery He knew when it was finished We would have the victory On that road, the road to calvary So if you find yourself out walking Down a lonely, dead end street Just remember there's a road That leads to eternity Waiting for all who would believe Believe on Him on that road to Calvary |
