| 02 Beat The System
Words and music: Bob Hartman Caught in the undertow being swept downstream Going against the flow seems like such a dream Trying to hold ground when you start to slide Pressure to compromise comes from every side Wise up, rise up Wise up, rise up You can be more than a conqueror, you will never face defeat You can dare to win by losing all, you can face the heat - dare to Beat the system Face the heat - dare to Beat the system On the assembly line trying to break the mold Time to throw the wrench that will stop it cold Going against the odds being the underdog Dare to wield the sword that will slice the fog Wise up, rise up Wise up, rise up You can go for it all You can go for broke You can turn the tide around You can aim for the top And take the lion's share If you dare to hold your ground Beat the system |
| 04 Computer Brains
Words and music: Bob Hartman Everything that you do and see, one more event in your memory Every bit takes another bite without control over wrong or right You must screen every entry made, the consequences must be weighed The only way to security is every thought in captivity Computer brains - put garbage in Computer brains - get garbage out Computer brains - programming you Computer brains - what can you do Break out Are you a user or being used; has your memory been abused Take random samples from your mind and analyze what you may find You can clear all memory and be transformed when you find the key Think on the things that will bring you peace, confusing data soon will cease |
| 05 Clean
Words and music: Bob Hartman You might see me stumble, you might see me fall You might see me cornered with my back against the wall Maybe incognito, maybe out to lunch Maybe caught redhanded or maybe just a hunch But I'm clean, clean, clean before my Lord Clean, clean, clean before my Lord Like a spotless lamb I'm blameless in His sight With no trace of wrong left to right I'm clean, clean, clean Kneeling in the closet begging daily bread There may be a skeleton hanging overhead Where are my accusers, nowhere to be found They all dropped theri stones when the Master came around I've missed the mark, I can't deny it I don't condone or justify it But I've done nothing that His blood can't wash away When I take it to the cross and start to pray Hey, I'm talking to you Hey, He's gonna see me through Hey, I'm talking to you Hey |
| 07 Grave Robber
Words and music: Bob Hartman There's a step that we all take alone An appointment we have with the great unknown Like a vapor this life is just waiting to pass Like the flowers that fade like the withering grass But life seems so long and death so complete And the grave an impossible portion to cheat But there's One who has been there and still lives to tell There is One who has been through both heaven and hell And the grave will come up empty handed that day Jesus will come and steal us away Where is the sting tell me where is the bite When the grave robber comes like a thief in the night Where is the victory where is the prize When the grave robber comes And death finally dies Many still mourn, many still weep For those that they love who have fallen asleep But we have this hope though our hearts may still ache Just one shout from above and they all will awake And in the reunion of joy we will see Death will be swallowed in sweet victory When the last enemy is gone from the dust will come a song Those asleep will be awakened - not a one will be forsaken He shall wipe away our tears - He will steal away our fears There will be no sad tomorrow - There will be no pain and sorrow |
| 09 Speak To The Sky
Words and music: Bob Hartman In a corner with no windows - no apparent way to go No escape hatch, must be some catch Must be something you don't know Look down, look around, all your hopes are sinking deep into the ground Look up through the night, S.O.S. is gonna make it to the light when you Speak to the sky and wait for the answer Someone will be there to take your call Though you may be at the brink of disaster Speak to the sky and you never will fall When temptation will surround you Enemy is closing fast Fight insistence with resistance You can know that it won't last Look out, look around, crying out but no one seems to hear a sound Look into your heart, help is on the way before you even start to Look down, look around, all your hopes are sinking deep into the ground Look up through the night, S.O.S. is gonna make it to the light when you |
| 11 Hollow Eyes
Words and music: Bob Hartman Another day in Nigeria the children beg for bread The crops have failed, the well ran dry When they lost the watershed A baby dies, its mother cries the children gather 'round They're wondering what the day will bring Will they be the next one found Do you dare to gaze into their hollow eyes Are they staring hosing you with their hollow eyes In the crowded sheds the children lay their heads To escape the Haitian heat The hunger pains drive them to the street Wondering if today they'll eat Some finding food in the refuse heap Others find disease Some find it harder just to live When they can die with ease The least of these is hungry The least of these is sick The least of these needs clothing The least of these needs drink The least of these knows sorrow The least of these knows grief The least of these has suffered pain and Jesus is His name Do you dare to gaze into His hollow eyes Is He staring back at you with His hollow eyes |
| 12-14 The Rock Medley: Stand Up / Not By Sight / Judas' Kiss
Words and music: Bob Hartman / John Slick / Bob Hartman The battle cry is getting louder The countdown's close to the final hour The enemy is on every side But still no match for the Crucified Victory unto victory We are soldiers in His army Stand up, take a stand for Jesus Stand up, so the whole world sees us Showing the way to a world gone astray Shining our light with all of our might Stand up, take a stand for Jesus Stand up, so the whole world sees us Following Him and serving Him Fighting the fight that we know we will win Gotta lay our lives down And stand up for the truth we've found Gotta let the redeemed of the Lord say so Sometimes we're running along Blind to where we're going Sometimes we lose our bearings When the storm is blowing They say this shadow land is only temporary These light afflictions work a great eternal glory Walk by faith, not by sight Strengthened by His glorious might Walk by faith, not by sight Heading for that land of light Walk by faith and not by sight Hold fast your confidence You've got an invitation To meet Him in the air at His revelation I wonder how it makes You feel when the prodigal won't come home I wonder how it makes You feel when he'd rather be on his own I wonder what it's like for You when a lamb has gone astray I wonder what it's like for You when Your children disobey It must be like another thorn stuck in Your brow It must be like another close friend's broken vow It must be like another nail right through Your wrist It must be just like Just like Judas' kiss |
| 15-17 The Mellow Medley: The Coloring Song / Road To Zion / More Power To Ya
Words and music: Dave Eden / Mike Hudson / Bob Hartman Red is the color of the blood that flowed Down the face of Someone Who loved us so He's the perfect man, He's the Lord's own Son He's the Lamb of God, He's the only one That can give us life, that can make us grow That can make our sins as white as snow That can give us life, that can make us grow That can turn our mornings into gold That can give us life, that can make us grow That can keep our hearts from growing cold That can give us life, that can make us grow That can make the love between us flow There is a way that leads to life The few that find it never die Past mountain peaks graced white with snow The way grows brighter as it goes There is a road inside of you Inside of me there is one too No stumbling pilgrim in the dark The road to Zion's in your heart You say you've been feeling weaker, weaker by the day You say you can't make the joy of your salvation stay But good things come to them that wait Not to those who hesitate So hurry up and wait upon the Lord More power to ya, when you're standing on His word When you're trusting with your whole heart in the message you have heard More power to ya, when we're all in one accord They that wait upon the Lord, they shall renew, they shall renew their strength So be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might Put on all His armour and fight the good fight In all of our weakness He becomes so strong And He gives us the power and the strength to carry on |

| 29 Godpleaser
Words and music: Bob Hartman So many voices telling me which way to go So many choices come from those who think they know There's a way that seems right to a man But it only brings him death I wanna go the way that leads to life Till I draw my dying breath Don't wanna be a manpleaser - I wanna be a Godpleaser I just want to have the wisdom to discern the two apart Don't wanna be a manpleaser - I wanna be a Godpleaser I just want to do the things that please the Father's heart Some make a sacrifice and never let it show Some make a point of letting everybody know Some will live their lives as unto men And they have their reward I just wanna do everything I do With my heart unto the Lord I just want my life to glorify His Son To make my Father proud that I'm His child before I'm done No need to pat me on the back or stop to shake my hand I just want to hear my Father say, "Well done" |
| 31 It Is Finished
Words and music: Bob Hartman In the heat of the early morning on a hill they call the Skull The roaring of the angry mob had settled to a lull All eyes were cast upon the Man whose hands and feet were bound They saw Him cry in anguish when they heard the hammer pound They saw the bloody woven thorns with which His head was crowned They watched the bloody cross of wood be dropped into the ground The soldiers gambled for His clothes, they watched them win and lose They saw the sign above His head that said "King of the Jews" It is finished - And the sky grew black as the night It is finished - And the people scattered in fright The work had been done, redemption had been won The war was over without a fight It is finished They searched His face for anger, for vengeance in His stare Instead of eyes that burned with hate a look of love was there He prayed for their forgiveness and bowed His battered head And no one knew the meaning of the final words He said The provision has been made The foundation has been laid He paid the ransom due and tore the temple veil in two And opened up the way for me and you It is finished |
