We've Got to Get Back
We've got to get back We've got to get back
We've got to get back to the basics of life
I wanna know my Bible and know how to praise
Learn how to live for God every day
Find a way to serve Him take some time to pray
Love going to church and learn of God and His ways
We've got to get back We've got to get back
We've got to get back to the basics of life
Trust in The Lord, know right from wrong
He's directing my path and I'm finishing strong
Be a witness to others and grow closer to you
These are the things that I need to do
We've got to get back We've got to get back
We've got to get back to the basics of life

Oh God

|

Oh God
Oh God, when You think of me
Have I become the man You need me to be?
Oh God, have I surrendered all
Or am I simply living life outside my call?
Do you see me offer mercy
Do you see me giving grace
Am I a man after Your heart (and)
Seeking Your face ?
Oh God, when I'm on my knees
Do my words ring true or full of hypocrisy?
Oh God, what do others see
Do I reflect the One who's suppose to live in me?
Do they see me offer mercy
Do they see me giving grace
Do they see me after Your heart (and)
Seeking Your face ?
Oh God, have I shared Your Word
Unashamed to share with those who haven't heard
Oh God, if I call You Lord
Am I living out my faith past my front door
May I the one to offer mercy
May I be the one giving grace
God, I want to be after Your heart
And seeking Your face...
Do you see me offer mercy
Do you see me giving grace
Am I a man after Your heart (and)
Seeking Your face ?
May I the one to offer mercy
May I be the one giving grace
God, I want to be after your heart
And seeking Your face...
Oh God

Calmer of the Storm

Calmer of the Storm
Are there clouds in your life, they gather
And the rain starts to pour
Winds are pushing you back and forward
Where is safety from the storm
Where is safety from the storm
Floods are rising, your boat is sinking
And the tempest roars
You catch a glimpse of a shining beacon
And it's coming from the shore
And it's coming from the shore
Jesus is drawing you nearer
A safe harbor for sure
Find rest in His arms of refuge
He is the calmer of the storm
He is the calmer of the storm
He's walked on water, He's calmed the sea
No matter life's weather, He hears our every plea, our every plea
Til the storm passes over, till the thunder sounds no more
Till the clouds roll forever from the sky
Hold me fast, let me stand, in the hollow of His hand
Keep me safe til the storm passes by

To Him Be All the Glory
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
Though I'm part of the story
To Him all the glory
Jesus is the Lamb that was slain
Jesus is the Lamb that was slain
I was a sinner set free
In chains jesus held the key
Gave His life on the cross
To pay my sins cost
Jesus is the Lamb that was slain
Jesus is the Lamb that was slain
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
Though I'm part of the story
To Him all the glory
Jesus is the Lamb that was slain
Jesus is the Lamb that was slain
Jesus is the Lamb that was slain
Jesus is the Lamb that was slain
Though I'm part of the story
To Him all the glory
Jesus is the Lamb that was slain
Jesus is the Lamb that was slain

Devil's Bluff
07:20
|
|||
For sometime now I lived between back East and Dodge
Deep in debt I would have bled gold from a demon’s vein
When a sharp dressed man came up and said “I’ve got what you need
I’ll pay your ticket if you join me on this here train” (was this my escape ?)
Whoa..oh…and the train went rolling out
Those on board looked lifeless yet alittle rough
When I asked the man where were we going ?
He said with a poker face “Son, this here train is headed straight for Devil’s Bluff”
We sat right down he pulled out a deck of cards
A crowd drew near, by the clock on the wall time had stopped
With a hangman’s smile he shuffled, I smelled the stench of stale cigars
When I cut the cards he laughed, the joker was on top
Whoa…oh…the train kept rolling fast
“Just let me know Son when you’ve had enough
I’ve seen your kind before, I know you’re on the lam(b)
But we’ll settle it up when we get to Devil’s Bluff
He dealt the cards, we picked them up, we arranged our hands
The crowd leaned forward elbowing so they could see
With a blank look in his eyes he got a smirk on his mouth
I could tell by the moans that the cards were marked and stacked against me
Whoa…oh…the train kept rolling fast(er)
The man held three sixes and an ace up in his cuff
Not your winning hand at home but we’re on this train
Its good enough to win at Devil’s Bluff
The conductor strolled in the car and he said “we’re getting near”
The man looked at me and said “Son, whatcha gonna do ?
You didn’t think you could really escape your wagered soul
Its time to pay the devil his dues”
Whoa…oh…the train kept rolling faster
I saw a cliff approaching, the payoff was soon enough
May as well be hanging from a noose swinging from a gallow
Sign said you’re about to enter Devil’s Bluff
I looked out the window, fold my hand and say a prayer
As we passed through a crossing I smiled I knew I could leave
The crowd reeled back the man hissed and started to sneer
He knew he was done when I pulled a King from my sleeve
Whoa…oh…the train came to a crashing halt
I climbed right off despite the sharp dressed man’s guff
I headed to the east to turn myself in
The train disappeared so did Devil’s Bluff…
Whoa..oh…mmmmm…whoa..oh…mmmmm

Coming Back
words and music by S. Hample
Seems like a long time ago, I ventured in the woods
The path looked so easy, that I really felt I should
Dropped all my armor, laid it on the ground
Got dark and cloudy, didn’t think it could be found
But its coming back to me, and I’m coming back to you X2
I lost my first love, and lost most of my friends
Definitely I lost my mind, my spirit wouldn’t mend
Love of my lifetime saw me walking out the door
I’m not the man I was, from all those years before
But its coming back to me, and I’m coming back to you X2
Oh God be patient with me, renew and restore my heart
You will give back to me things I left dropped from the start
I’m finding all my armor, tarnished, dents and rusted
Polish up my faith and belief in the One I can trust in
Cause, its coming back to me, and I’m coming back to you X4

Oh Dear God
words and music by S. Hample
I always wanted to be the kind of a guy
Whose words meant something
I want my words to speak the truth but a lot of the times
they simply mean much of nothing
But I’m the kind of a guy whose words
Are often what you want to hear
They’re not the real thoughts deep in my heart
They’re the ones that will keep you near
Oh Dear God, I did it again
Oh Dear God I did it again
looking for your mercy
counting on your grace
Turn my back on the cross
Spitting in your beautiful face
I always want to be the kind of a guy
Whose actions speak much louder than words
But the things I did the best always
wound up leaving somebody hurt
When you know in your heart whats right
Why’s the wrong’s so easy to do
I’m afraid for others to see me as real
The me that doesn’t look like you
Oh Dear God, I did it again
Oh Dear God I did it again
looking for your mercy
counting on your grace
Turn my back on the cross
Spitting in your beautiful face
If I told you the words deep in my soul
Would I be shunned for speaking the truth
God would you explain it to them
How it comes across to you
My life is a shambles layin in ruin
Lift me up and place this child on your knee
Father forgive this broken old soul
And make me be the guy I wanted to be
Oh dear God, you did it again
Oh Dear God you did it again
Cover me with your mercy
Shower me with your grace
Arms stretched high on the cross
Tears streaming down your beautiful face
Oh Dear God, I did it again
Oh Dear God I did it again
looking for your mercy
counting on your grace
Turn my back on the cross
Spitting in your beautiful face
Oh dear God, you did it again
Oh Dear God you did it again
Cover me with your mercy
Shower me with your grace
Arms stretched high on the cross
Tears streaming down your beautiful face

Once Dead (Revive Us)
06:04
|

Revive Us (Once Dead)
I was a walking dead man
Six feet under in faith
If I had a Top Seven
God always came in eighth
Looking up from my gravesite
Shoveled dirt hit my face
Mercy reaching down to me
Jesus came and took my place
Once dead in sin - Made alive in Christ
Once dead in sin - Made alive in Christ
Revive Us Revive Us Revive Us Lord
Revive Us Revive Us Revive Us Lord
I know a guy who was sinking
Deep over his head in sin
Couldn't swim for his own life
About to throw the towel in
Coming up for the last time
All he had left was to drown
From the Cross came a lifesavor
Grace like a rope cast down
Once dead in sin - Made alive in Christ
Once dead in sin - Made alive in Christ
Revive Us Revive Us Revive Us Lord
Revive Us Revive Us Revive Us Lord
There are plenty of others
With some stories of their own to tell
Just living like zombies
on a reckless road to Hell
Heading in the wrong direction
stumbling over the floor
'Bout to jump out a window
'Til they came across the Door
Once dead in sin - Made alive in Christ
Once dead in sin - Made alive in Christ
Revive Us Revive Us Revive Us Lord
Revive Us Revive Us Revive Us Lord
I don't know what your tale is
or if its even close to mine
In a state of denial
Or just Running out of time
Down for the count or in quicksand
With your back up against some wall
No matter that your state is
God'll catch you as you fall
Once dead in sin - Made alive in Christ
Once dead in sin - Made alive in Christ
Revive Us Revive Us Revive Us Lord

Praise You Now (simple praise)
Holy Father, Spirit and Son come make us one
Alleluia, worthy of praise, all of my days, Yes You are
And one day every tongue will confess
And one day every knee will bow
But this simple praise that I have to give
I can give You now
Nothing can keep us away from Your love
That comes from above
What can separate us from You
You’re faithful and true, Yes You are
And one day every tongue will confess
And one day every knee will bow
But this simple praise that I have to give
I can give You now
Since You’re for us, who is against
This love You dispense
All in awe of the splendor of You
And all that You do, yes we are
And one day every tongue will confess
And one day every knee will bow
But this simple praise that I have to give
I can give You now
Holy Father, Spirit and Son come make us one
Alleluia, worthy of praise, all of my days, Yes You are
And I’m telling You
And one day every tongue will confess
And one day every knee will bow
But this simple praise that I have to give
I can give You now
No more waiting for all my simple praise
that I have to give
Lord I give You now

Under the Same Sky
04:47
|

I had left my father’s homestead (you’re always welcomed here)
By the light of a blazing sun (peace on your journey)
Took all the things my father gave me, no one could save me
Set out for the city to have some fun, and dad said:
(I will always love you son) I don’t need your love no more
(I will always care for you) nothing here to stay for
(I am your father, you are my child)
(I’ll always be there) don’t look for me pa
both: under the same sky
(Oh my child, where are you now) the fast life has a price
(are you finding what you need) running out of friends I thought were nice
(Hope you’re well and living rich) money ran out, thrown in a ditch
both: So here I cry under the same sky
Didn’t take long to find it out (I’m thinking of you son)
What I should have known all along (my prayers go up for you son)
then the money got tight, (come home)
fed the pigs slept with them at night, (come home)
all I could think about was home (you’re welcome home son)
(I will run to you son) Papa I shamed your name
(I will run and welcome you) turn your back on me I wouldn’t blame you
(wherever you are, wherever you think you should be)
we’ll never together (I’ll pray for you)
both: under the same sky
(I will run to you son) I can’t come home right now
(I will run to you) am I always bound to roam
(wherever you are, wherever you think you need to be)
Dad I want to come home (I will run to you)
Both: Under the same sky
I'm running home to you (rings for your fingers)
Please catch men in your arms (robe for your back)
How can you love me so (my son thought dead is home)
Both: together under the same sky

See You Later, Goodbye
04:20
|

Been on this world for some 40 odd years
Had my share of laughter and my fair share of tears
If you were to ask me you'd hear me say
Rather be in heaven...and He'll call someday
(that's when you're gonna hear me say)
See ya later, goodbye, farewell, so long
I'm gone to heaven where I belong
Adios, au revoir or TTFN Adieu, cheerio until we meet again
I'm going home I'm going home...I'm going home
Until that day and He calls me then
I'm called to be a fisher of men
So if you see me and you hear my song
You'll likely hear me asking others along
(that's so when they're called you'll hear them say)
See ya later, goodbye, farewell, so long
I'm gone to heaven where I belong
Adios, au revoir or TTFN Adieu, cheerio
until we meet again I'm going home
I'm going home...I'm going home
Where when and how God's timings always right
Might even come like a theif in the night
If that's the case friend I hope I see
You flying to meet Him right next to me
(that way we can both say together at the same time)
See ya later, goodbye, farewell, so long
We've gone to heaven where we belong
Adios, au revoir or TTFN Adieu, cheerio
until we meet again we're going home
We're going home...we're going home
This world is not my home I'm just a passin thru
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
See ya later, goodbye, farewell, so long
I'm gone to heaven where I belong
Adios, au revoir or TTFN Adieu, cheerio
until we meet again I'm going home
I'm going home...I'm going home
Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you
If heaven's not my home then Lord what will I do ?
The angels beckon me from heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
See ya later, goodbye, farewell, so long I
'm gone to heaven where I belong
Adios, au revoir or TTFN Adieu, cheerio
until we meet again I'm going home
I'm going home...I'm going home
They're all expecting me and that's one thing I know
My Savior pardoned me and now I onward go
I know He'll take me thru tho I'm weak & I'm poor
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
See ya later, goodbye, farewell, so long
I'm gone to heaven where I belong
Adios, au revoir or TTFN Adieu, cheerio
until we meet again I'm going home I'm going home...I'm going home

Hope Beyond a Star
04:26
|

Star light, star bright
First star I see tonight
I wish I may, oh I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight
Have the wish I wish tonight
In a darkened world
With no hope in sight
Where is this Promised One
To save us from our plight
We’ve been waiting so long
And our hope is slight
All I have is this one wish
To suppress my fright (so)
Star light, star bright
Brightest star I see tonight
I hope I may, oh I hope I might
Find the hope I need tonight
Find the hope I need tonight
Do not be afraid
I bring you comfort and joy
Your cry for a King to come
Comes in a tiny baby boy
Over Bethlehem
A star is shining bright
Over a manger where a baby lay
Hope is born tonight
Star light, star bright
Wondrous star in the highest heights
I know its here, so my soul ignites
I found the Hope I need tonight
I found the Hope I need tonight
O Star of wonder, star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading, still proceeding
Guide us to thy Perfect Light
Star light, star bright
Wondrous star in the highest heights
I know its here, so my soul ignites
I found the Hope I need tonight
I found Hope…beyond the stars.
