He went out onto the streets For it was always His Original Intention The lost to save and to seek
Sure, in temple courts He did indeed also teach But let it be known That Christ also Walked the streets Where the lost, the blind, The lame Were never beyond his reach
So take Him out there For church walls cannot Will not Were never meant to contain, Our King of Glory It's always the same story Remember, Man-made walls were Never made His words To imprison Death could not stop His Strength, Love or Grace For Jesus is alive His has eternally arisen!!!
Idols, Idols Everywhere I look, I stare Turning my head I can see Enticing, me To Believe In their goodness What a mess!
You have yours I have mine They’re hard to let go Hard to unwind Most of the flesh To understand Not such a great test Power, Money Material Possessions Sex At time, they can lead To extremes of regret
In love with ourselves We run, we fume, we struggle At times, in singles Or often in doubles We collect, we hoard Then grasp We should feel insecure Nothing down here really Lasts
Reach for the eternal, A Holy Immortal God Please, oh please In Him learn to trust He desires to love us! His blessings They can be known So, don’t stand out in the Dark, all alone Reach for wisdom And take yourself off The idol’s throne!!
Up close Eyeball to eyeball Face to face Chest to chest Breath to breath Until the second Of your physical death How close your God is
From the moment Of our conception Until at the foot Of His throne Our final destination God wants and is Close So very , very close Do not harden your Heart Like a rebellious Lost world Spiritually almost Comatose
God wants to be Intimate with you Every beat of your Heart is personal To Him Desiring for All eternity Your soul To win So let Him in
Let God the Father Christ the Son God the Holy Spirit Be Personal with you Your heart Your very soul Recreate Refresh and Renew!!
You watch As you walk Your breath You catch As Jesus turns He smiles Inviting you To join His group
Take a seat Hold just One small hand Then another Or only one more With this You may be allowed A completely different land to influence With Jesus You never know What might be in store
By holding onto others Newer sisters, brothers In this small act You may be allowed To release, And To let go of Yourself!
Snatch me from the fire God Jesus Snatch me from the fire Lifting higher, Higher Threatening to drown My life I scream I cry Even I writhe Flames of Pain, chaos Broken world
Until One gentle touch One saving hand Upon my shoulder Falls Lightly my name I hear You call Drawing me away So, Within your arms May I stay Given strength Out of the fire to crawl No longer my frail self Dare they attempt to maul
Do not be afraid of those Flames of pain Follow Christ's gentle Touch Even though to endure Flames can be Extremely rough But You will be allowed With only one soft word One glance To enter the eternity The safety Of Christ's embrace And the joy of His Paradise's dance!
