All of my transgressing All my sins confessing Over the head Over the head Of a lamb pure and white A lamb who should not die In my stead In my stead Holy, you are holy You said be holy For I am Holy, I am not holy The blood is flowing For what I am Year after year Blood must be shed here Our sins are the same Our sins are the same The daily sacrificing The endless reminding Guilt still remains Guilt still remains Will there a come a day when a Sacrifice will be enough Will there come a day when You will need no more blood

No (Numbers) 03:01
You are standing on the edge of promises fulfilled To our fathers long ago made You’ve seen wonders, you’ve seen signs The sea was split and stilled But still you are afraid He will lead us if we go and give us promised rest Milk and honey, and homes to make But all His words you despise when you put him to the test When you fear them and when you say You say no, we will not go in No we’ll keep on grumbling No we cannot win Because we are too small You say no, we will not go in No, we’ll keep on grumbling No, we don’t believe in Him Even though we’ve come this far No, no So He says surely as I live, you’ll never see that land Which I promised, for which I set you free But as you wander you will die, down to a man And my promise you will never see Cause you said no, we will not go in No, we’ll keep on grumbling No, no we cannot win Because we are too small You said no, we will not go in No, we’ll keep on grumbling No, no we cannot win Even though we’ve come this far

I’ve given you countless heroes To save you from your distress I’ve given you countless victories But you keep on forgettin All the good things that I’ve done for you You trade my good for bad But I am a jealous lover now And you don’t wanna make me mad Every time I go and save you You act like you’re gonna stay But just as soon as I say I love you You turn and run away But I can’t take no for an answer And you need more than you think Cause I am a jealous lover now But don’t treat me like I’m cheap You’re supposed to be all mine All mine You’re supposed to be all mine All mine You’re supposed to be all mine All mine But you run after other lovers don’t you Cause you think they treat you fine But they sure don’t treat you fine When I try to turn my back to you You cry aloud and weep Sayin’ lover oh please lover Won’t you come back to me Oh but I put you in that white dress But you cannot keep it clean Oh I am a jealous lover now And I want you here with me

If the heavens shut their doors And there is no rain Oh Lord would you hear? If because of sin we lie in defeat But if we turn again Oh Lord would you hear?

When a foreigner comes in To seek your name Would you listen, would you hear? When we go to war and pray toward this place Would you fight for us Would you hear? If our enemies take us away Because of sin they make us into slaves If we repent and turn to You and pray Would you hear? The heavens can’t hold you in And yet you’ve chosen to dwell with men To keep your eyes and your ears open To this house, to hear May you incline our hearts To walk in all your ways Set us apart and be near May we stay wholly true As on this day May we listen to you, and may we hear

Rebuilding the broken down City lying in ruins found Remake your home, stone by stone And call it your own again Your own again Redeeming the mess we made Stooping low to renovate We are broken like these stones But you call us your own again Your own again Though we have been rebels all Keep for yourself a remnant small Called us home from far away And on these stones you write your name You bind up the broken place And then a new foundation’s laid In mercy farther than we’ve roamed We call you our own again Our own again Though we have been rebels all Keep for yourself a remnant small Called us home from far away And on these stones you write your name What was broken now has been renewed What was empty is now filled with you What was a wasteland, separated Is consecrated, we are consecrated Though we have been rebels all Keep for yourself a remnant small Called us home from far away And on these stones you write your name
13.
When I heard the walls were broken down The people sunk in shame Tore my clothes, fell to the ground And I stayed that way for days As a daughter bears her father’s name This city wears your own Her nakedness becomes your shame So I knew I had to go So I prayed to the God of heaven “Would you open your eyes And open your ears” And I prayed “O God of heaven Though we’ve been unfaithful For so many years Would you hear?” Over again we acted the fool So you scattered us to the wind But you said if we returned to you You’d take us back again So I prayed to the God of heaven “Would you open your eyes And open your ears” And I prayed “O God of heaven Though we’ve been unfaithful For so many years Would you hear?” O God who keeps His covenant Hear the words of your servant Remember Your steadfast love and faithfulness For your name grant me success Oh

“Hidden Hand (Esther)” by Caroline Cobb She was born so beautiful A feast for the eyes So when that king he saw that girl He made her his wife But then the evil man came ‘round He wants her people dead ‘Cause one of them would not bow down And he’s gunnin’ for his head But the story maker’s hidden hand Is for the hero’s good Though villains vie for evil plans It cannot be withstood No, it cannot be withstood And the man the evil man wants dead He’s gonna hang him in the gallows But he forgets the hidden hand Working in the shadows The queen became a queen you see For such a time as this So the evil man will hang instead Betrayed by her kiss Betrayed by a lover’s kiss Chorus There is pain written in There is conflict, there is sin But when the conflict resolves We’ll see the hidden hand behind it all Chorus
15.
Who? (Job) 04:21
We demand answers Though we are creatures and He is creator His ways are higher For we are the made and He is the maker And He answers us by asking us Who makes the sun in the morning rise Who brings the light to the baby’s eyes Commands the sea and its proud waves And all the earth’s foundations laid Who keeps the snow in a storehouse great Who gives us life and takes it away Who clothes himself in majesty Deserves the honor, deserves the glory Though we want answers We know we are creatures and He is creator His ways are higher For we are the made and He is the maker And we bow down Put our hands over our mouths When we don’t understand When it’s dark as night We are in your hands We are in your light
16.
Dear daughter of mine Would you listen to the words I sing As I borrow a line From the wisdom of the wisest king Guard your heart, love ‘Cause the world can sing a song untrue And that way is dark love So let wisdom sing over you Cause charm’s a deceiver And beauty betrays a girl So wear love like a diamond The fear of God like a string of pearls And you will be beautiful Beautiful my girl Fear God with your whole heart For He is God, and we are not Seek wisdom like a precious jewel And let His love adorn you Chorus And if one day True love you find Let wisdom make You a beautiful wife And if one day You have lost your way Trust in the One Who makes crooked paths straight Chorus
17.
We were taken from our land and our homes They took the noble, took the wise and the strong And we’re here in Babylon But I will not forget I will serve you yet I refused their wine and food Because I knew it would not please you They said boy you’re acting like a fool But I will not forget Yeah I will serve you yet God, shut their mouths! From this prison get me out! Take me back to your house But until then I will bow One day they said I was breaking the laws They saw me pray, told the king what they saw Then they threw me to the lions’ jaws But I will not forget Yeah I will serve you yet God, shut their mouths! From this prison get me out! Take me back to your house But until then I will bow One night, I saw it in a dream The Son of Man, Ancient One takes His seat They will make Him forever king And I will not forget Yeah I will serve you yet

I stare down at my finger Where the ring used to be But there's nothing there now Just a memory Of a love I took for granted And a love I left behind Oh how I wish you were mine again I remember that night When I slipped away Into the shadows and I ran toward my disgrace I remember the sadness in your eyes I remember every tear that you cried As I gave you back the ring of your bride And I turned to walk away And you said.. Oh my bride Haven't I given you a good life Would you let me just hold you for a while Don't you know I'll always love you Don't you know I'll always wait for you to come back I stare into the mirror with empty eyes At a face he would not recognize Lined with adultery and shame The guilt that weighs heavy on my frame But it's two years too late to go back now But somewhere he says... I took a taxi to your house And I stumbled to the door Before I had a chance to knock You opened and picked me up off the floor You picked me up off the floor Here you are, my lost bride I give you my all, I give you my life So take my love, and take your ring I'll hold your heart if you stay with me If you stay with me And you said... Oh my bride Welcome home to these arms of mine Would you let me just hold you for a while Cause don't you know I'll always love you Don't you know I'll always wait for you

*From Joel 2:1-14* Oh there’s an army on the mountaintop Swarms the city and it can’t be stopped Scales the walls and storms the streets Slides through your windows like a thief Oh but this is the day that the Lord has sent So rend your hearts, return, repent Yes tear your hearts and not your clothes Oh He may relent, yeah who knows Don’t make a show when you go confess And maybe he’ll turn from wrath to bless Oh but this is the day that the Lord has sent So rend your hearts, return, repent Oh but this is the day that the Lord has sent So rend your hearts, return, repent

You turn my justice into poison You cast my righteousness aside You trample on the poor You shut all their doors Then you lay back and think you’re fine Turned from the one who made the morning Knows every thought in your head Think you’re the chosen one So you do what you want You’re gonna lie in this bed But let my justice roll down Let my righteousness flow down Seek your God while He may be found And live, and live. Woe to the one who takes it easy Stretching out on your bed Enjoy the finer things, But you exploit the weak, So I am calling for your head Chorus I hate your feasts You don’t care so they don’t mean nothin Your straight-faced gatherings You don’t care so they don’t mean nothin Your songs you sing They are like noise to me All the blood of your offerings Turn my head cause they don’t mean nothin But let my justice roll Let my righteousness flow... Chorus

I am the man who held the coats Of the blind men who threw the stones I ravaged as an enemy To save our laws and history But blind like them, I could not see Breathing murder I hit the streets When a blinding light surrounded me Said why won’t you just let me be When you ravage them, you ravage me In the bright light, I started to see That Israel’s hope is the hope of all men Both the law and the prophets they spoke of Him That suffering death, He would rise first Proclaiming the light to all the earth Forgiving the sin of those who turn Oh for 3 days I stayed in the dark Both fear and faith they filled my heart When the Spirit came and scales fell free This murderous man could finally see This murderous man could finally see That Israel’s hope is the hope of all men Both the law and the prophets they spoke of Him That suffering death, He would rise first Proclaiming the light to all the earth Forgiving the sin of those who turn Once an enemy, now a son The chief of sinners for all I’ve done Turn from darkness and to the light Repent, believe, unshut your eyes Repent, believe, unshut your eyes ‘Cause Israel’s hope is the hope of all men Both the law and the prophets they spoke of Him That suffering death, He would rise first Proclaiming the light to all the earth Forgiving the sins of those who turn Forgiving the sins of those who turn

We are broken but are not crushed Confused but not despairing For he has not forsaken us Though His cross we’re bearing Though outwardly we waste away Inside we’re newer every day In our weakness we know you shine Through our brokenness all the time We are jars of clay Cracks and creases Broken pieces Treasure stored away Shines the brighter Through all the breaches In this way, we are prepared Though there’s pain in our story But no earthly pain could e’er compare To the eternal weight of glory Now we see with faith But we'll see you with our own eyes one day So take these jars of clay And hold on, shine on, through our songs And all the words we say

A strong, fast horse, a tiny bit A small, little rudder, a big old ship A small spark, a forest on fire A whole man ablaze with your desire Oh my tongue, who can tame you? Oh my lips can’t contain you A restless evil running wild Won’t stop til the whole man’s defiled Oh you curse and you bless You’re the poison and the cure Saltwater and fresh Flow from the same source But don’t you see that this ought not to be Sow love, sow love. Slow down mouth, quit your runnin Hear, my ears, from where they’re comin Quench the burning in your chest All the angry words in your head If I resist, I know he will flee If I draw near, He will draw near to me If I wash my hands, You make me clean You make me clean

44.
Beloved friend O I pray that you are well And your soul, it is whole And your body in good health Beloved friend Of your love I have heard Treating others like your brothers They have told the whole church I have no greater joy than to see you in the truth Such a deeper joy than I could ever write to you So I wait to see you face to face Until then God grant you peace And grace Beloved friend Follow those who are good Not the one who is selfish They don’t treat them as they should Beloved friend You contribute to the work When you welcome the brothers You welcome his church
45.
You shepherds starving your sheep You waterless clouds You rotten, fruitless tree The Lord’s gonna cut you down You wild waves of the sea You wandering stars For you the Lord will keep The gloom of utter dark For the Lord will come with his angels Ten thousand strong He will come to execute judgment So you best not be teaching what’s wrong You beloved, called and kept Remember your faith Remember His love keeps you strong And don’t forget to pray For the Lord will come with his angels Ten thousand strong He will come to execute mercy On those who have been waiting so long For the Lord will come with his angels Ten thousand strong He will come to execute justice On all who are hearing this song

I saw a city coming down From the sky to the ground And God was in her as her crown And she was dressed up like a bride For God had made her white And in her there will be no night Because the Lamb is her light Her sun and stars and moon And He is coming soon And His glory shines so bright He’ll wipe our tears away And we will see His face In heaven And there a river flowing deep Where we can drink for free Grace and mercy oh so sweet And there, the temple will be gone And we will sing along With saints from every nation this song
