Just imagine!
Right before your eyes
The clouded skies are rending, As foretold so long ago
Our Lord's descending
It will truly be
Can your mind's eye see?
Just imagine!
Your amazement
As you see His plan unfolding
And the graves release
The loved ones they are holding And with them you rise
Taking to the skies to join our Lord What a glorious sight
We will be with Him forever!
Just imagine!
All the ones of old who lived in far-off places Now you hear their voice
And gaze at real faces!
It will truly be!
Can your mind's eye see?
Just imagine!
What a noise!
As you are mingling with the others And through tear-filled eyes
You recognize your brothers
Oh, what joy there'll be!
When we all shall see our precious Lord What a glorious time
We will be with them forever!
(Chorus)
Can you see?
Can you feel?
Build your faith
And make it real! Yes, it's written there In His words
For all to see.
Just imagine!
The golden light
Of the city bright with glory The promise of our
Long loved, old, old story
It will truly be
Can your mind's eye see?
Just imagine!
No more pain or death
And no more tears or sorrow We will share in endless life In God's tomorrow
Oh what joy there'll be! When these things we see The gift of God.
What a glorious time
We will be with Him forever!
Just imagine!

Spiritual Song
03:57
|
|||
|
I'm standing up,
Believing I can make it to the end,
Fighting off my fear I can't pretend,
That I'm a perfect man,
I need a perfect hand,
I'm passing through,
A stranger in a foreign land,
Wrestling in the weeds and sinking sand,
And I don't always win,
No I don't always win,
I need the fruits of the spirit now,
to take root in my conscience and clean it out,
I'll sing a spiritual song.
I fear God,
And I want to be a man that's smiled upon,
I know that He is merciful and strong,
So I'll hold on,
Yes I'll hold on.
I need the fruits of the spirit now,
to take root in my conscience and clean it out,
I'll sing a spiritual song.
I'm incomplete,
And weeping now for better times,
And reaching out,
For something that was made to find,
Defeating and doubt,
And building up the truth in my mind,
I need the love,
And the life that only God can provide,
I'm on my knees,
Twisted up and hoping for some grace,
Please raise me from the dead and fix the place,
Strike out my mistakes,
Please strike out my mistakes.

A man once walked the earth in past days,
Heard visions, and spoke of things misunderstood as if plain,
He told what was dreamt and then what it meant,
And revealed to kings coming events,
He told of a smiting stone cut without hands,
And saw it fill the earth,
A great tree the world could see,
To be cut down making a king as a beast,
A hand come forth in candlelight,
Writing words on a plaster wall,
The kings fearing knees knocked and Daniel was called,
And begged, just begged to explain,
So much fear for a good man,
Loved God and believed in him,
A man once walked the earth in past days,
Heard visions, and spoke of things misunderstood as if plain,
Faced lions, mouths sealed and peaceful,
Saw four beasts come from the sea,
Saw the ancient of days, clothes white as snow,
Sitting on his throne,
Stream of fire, and open books,
Troubled at heart,
Saw the angry goat come bring the ram down,
Break both his horns, stomp him into the ground,
So much fear for a good man,
Loved God and believed in him,
Peace Daniel,
Be not troubled,
You will rest, you will rest,
You will rise, you will rise,
It will be right at the end.
Seventy weeks,
Saw a man with many voices speaking,
Lightning face, and eyes of fire,
Arms and feet of brass, and skin hewed green,
God gave visions,
Peace Daniel,
Be not troubled,
You will rest, you will rest,
You will rise, you will rise,
It will be right at the end.

Oh, so far away and long ago
Reflected in the fire's glow
Lay all the splendors of a night in Babylon
Strange sights and sounds come from everywhere
Exotic music fills the air
Excitement and danger are the fare in Babylon
There, shining in the starlight
Towering high above those gathered there
Glittering golden in the firelight
God of Babylon, the king declares
And as the music crescendos
Everyone falls down to their knees and bows
But not the three Hebrew children
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
Back in the royal court of Babylon
the king demands a reason why
they were defying the laws of Babylon
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego
they said they only worship One
The God of our father's so long ago
By king's command they are thrown into the fire
And yet the flames, they withstand
The king amazed, calls them from the flaming pyre
And soon before him they stand
They were protected by God's mighty hand

C is for Creation
03:17
|
|||
|
C is for creation that’s when God made everything,
He made dogs and cats, and snakes and bats, and pretty birds that sing
Sixteen hundred years or so from then the world was full of sin
God told Noah how to build a boat and put some creatures in
For forty days and nights it was a constant rain
Jehovah pulled the plug and they went down the drain
Four hundred years have come and gone when Abram proved his worth
God changed his name to Abraham and promised him the earth
Then Moses came along to free the Hebrews from Pharaoh
Ten plagues is all it took to make him let God’s people go
Moses climbed the mountain and he got some rules
By the time that he came down they all were acting like fools
God made another covenant with David, Israel’s king
He told him he would have a son to make the righteous sing
God gave His son, tryin’ to save everyone
Gave his life on the tree, that from sin we might be free
Sent the twelve through the earth, calling all to rebirth
Through the centuries some came to be saved through his name
Soon Jesus Christ is coming back to conquer every land
And give to those that followed him a place where they command
He’ll reign on earth a thousand years and teach of God and peace
The lamb can lay down with the wolf and wake up with his fleece
Satan tempts the nations and they choose to rebel
God brings it to an end when fire from heaven fell
God sends the New Jerusalem to earth, and makes it new
I pray that I will be there … and that you will be there too!

This is Home

The house is empty as he walks in the door
There’s no race to find him
Toys once scattered all across the floor
That’s a life behind him
His heart is heavy for his share of the blame
‘cause only loving, can bring you love.
She comforts the little girl who’s crying again
Asking; “where’s my Daddy?
She tells her the same excuse, covering the pain
Another day ending badly
Her heart is breaking for her share of the blame
‘cause only loving, can bring you love.
Love’s not just a broken heart, or one that’s filled with joy
Love is all the little things you do.
Love is all the sacrifices, hardship can’t destroy
Serving someone other than you.
Our God waits patiently for us to decide
If we’ll seek to find Him
Give up our selfish ways, and He will provide
A better place beside Him
Our heart might be heavy for our weakness and shame
But only loving can bring you love.

Who
05:20
|

Who set the earth upon its spin,
and made it third in line?
Who gilled the fish and lunged the man,
who winged the birds for flight?
Who caused the elements to form,
and what did they form from?
How did the wind begin to move,
if nothing stirred it up?
Who filled the fountains of the deep,
and formed the ice peaks?
Who quickened man from breath and dust,
And made the heart that seeks?
How does the cow turn grass to meat,
why does the cell divide?
inside the answers men can give,
Still more questions hide.
Hold on,
Consider God,
This is not an accident,
This is not from nothing no,
I won't, I won't deny,
I won't deny the infinite,
I won't deny the infinite one,
Hold on,
Consider God,
I see it in our bodies,
I see it in the dirt and trees,
I see it in the prophesies,
I see it in the Middle East,
Hold on,
Consider God,
This is not an accident,
This is not from nothing no,
Hold on,
Consider God,
I won't, I won't deny,
I won't deny the infinite,
I won't deny the infinite one.
