Verse 1:
Life.... to the full
Freely given for me and you
Here today
Tomorrow a too
Never doubt what
Of what God can do

I’ve been down
And confused
Now I dance
The spirit moves

I need hope
I need the truth
I need love
God it’s you

You made the way
So glad you found me
You saved the day
Now I’m standing

You gave me faith
To move a mountain
Took on my sin
Your love astounding

Everyone, every soul
God is good,
We gotta show
All the time
Lord take control

Sent out
We all have meaning

I’ll testify
I’ll do whatever

Lord you and I

Now that I know god is real
I now have hope that we all can be filled
With the peace and the grace of the lord

There only one way that we are going
Unashamed of the faith that we’re
showing
No matter the cost or the danger
A life sacrificed rests in favor

Make your way
Everyday
What’s God Given
No one can take away

So keep the faith
Don’t let it fade

But in God we trust
And He’s got a plan
For all of us

You will be alright

The word is clear
To live is christ

To die is gain
So Be A LIGHT!

Intro
The Kingdom is upon us
God is with us
honest

Every move we make
should be done in faith
so we can keep our promise

Are we unashamed
Do we live for the Son?
when I leave this place
will He say “Well done.”?

see the Lord’s true, delights in your desire
everything new, give glory to the highest

King, above all things
as you go preach
to those blinding
the good news is here
perfect timing
everything clear
believe the writing

and sow the good seed
remove the evil
so we can proceed
not taste death
but die to one’s self
remove the wealth

Uh… are you prepared for the banquet
who you comin with?
those that you hang with
or everyone from every tongue
nation and placement
intersect the highways

There might be limited spaces
many are called but few chase it
let’s get involved
history, change it
make the name of God
a world wide favorite!

lean everyday
on the one who made it
not worried cuz
The Lord’s who I stay with

(ft. Shane Gelinas)

Chorus:
I’m searching for you Lord
Help me Find my way
reveal my destiny

Show me I’m not alone
take away my pain
take every piece of me

Verse 1
heart racin
eyes closed
I’m holdin on with my soul
been looking for you
my Lord
I guess I need to try more

Searchin’ and Seekin’
from Morning to evening
I long for completion
Oh Lord God I mean it

Yep!! I just want to get it!
Understand this life I’m livin’
What’s my purpose?
What’s your vision?
Show me Lord
Lead me in it!

Now, I’m far from over
Where I belong
Is where I’m goin’
and this road I’m on
is quite a jouney
but I will continue searching

Chorus 2x

Verse 2
uh before I surrender
I think of everything
that led me to be centered
the anger and angst
just made me selfish
the problem was me
inability to be selfless

I’ll pray only when I have to
false sense of happiness
I’m better off without you

but still
I’m not complete
what’s missing is
about to change me

maybe, I’m bound to
smile every day
enjoy waking up
alive when I pray

because it’s not me
who made me who I am
I’m divine in design
all part of God’s plan

So here I stand
a new brand new man
shouting to the lord
with everything I can

Yeah, I found my purpose
it is right here in the place of worship!

04. The Best

(ft. &E Dufresne & Kristin Firestone)

Intro
Be the best
Be the best
Be the best
uh… be the best!

Verse 1
Maybe it’s me
Maybe I need
to take a deeper look
at who I want to be

maybe I’m good
or better than I think
maybe I’m not
so maybe I’ll sink

uh.. not today
not with these dreams
I’ve come to far to forget what I mean
I mean God made me
every part of my being
I am his creation
and He is my king

With God there are no limits
I know, I’ve grown up with it
He provides everything
He goes then I go with Him

With God nothing’s missin’
complete, you know He’s risen
so I live to share the gifts
I’ve so kindly been given

This is not a competition
more like a team witness
so, if we enter ready
we are already winnin’

So go stop the sinnin’
you are no longer ignorant
Christ has called us
to be the best so start livin’

Chorus: Kristin Firestone
Believe that you can (you know you can)
be the best version (hey)
Believe that you can (you know you can)
be the best version (hey)
Of yourself

Verse 2:
life is lost in dreaming
and dreaming in becomin’
if you are anybody
you are more than somethin’

it’s time to wake up
for the kingdom is comin’
prepare the way
God’s freedom is runnin’

Uh… I dare you to say something
something that’s loving
you can change the world
with your words if you want to

activate faith
through your prayers
not scared
in this culture is buzzing

The biggest challenge is
to be in it, not of it
choose life over death
trust me you’ll love it

and live to tell the rest
live till you’re the best
live to get to heaven and bring everyone else

Yes!
that’s my motto
what are we living for
if God we don’t follow
what are we dying for
if we live so hollow
live to die no more
and forever will follow

Chorus: Kristin Firestone
Believe that you can (you know you can)
be the best version (hey)
Believe that you can (you know you can)
be the best version (hey)
Of yourself

Verse 3: &E Dufresne
Look in the mirror, I see the proof
My lips are telling lies, but my eyes are speaking the truth
weaknesses arise as soon as I step out the booth
walk outside in my disguise, but I know y’all see it too
Lord – in all reality they should be seeing you
But – they’ll never love me if I let em see into
My brokenness, my secrets that I try to hide from you
I might be in a mess that even God cannot undo
Child, do not despair my grace will be enough for you
let me brighten up your darkness
raise you up outta your tomb
my beautiful creation I could never forget you
you’re invited to my kingdom,
see the things my love can do:
uh…The lame walk, the blind see
The weak are made strong, and the strong made weak
The first will be the last, and the poor will all be blessed
Live in me, and child you will be the best

Chorus:
Believe that you can (you know you can)
be the best version (hey)
Believe that you can (you know you can)
be the best version (hey)
Of yourself

Outro:

always motivated to be the best
in this life

The only way to win

All because that perseverance got ya boy straight spazzin
Kick me stomp me and beat me

Please use your neurons
Ooo your wrong
.45 caliber bullet to your dumb
Ain’t a syndrome

A lack of love?
And we all know where we can get some
But trapped in a system
To be this dome
Love thy neighbor as your self
No wonder we get dis wrong
Well I’ma rise until kingdom come
and keep rising until we rise
right where we belong

Chorus:

06. Sacred

(ft. Danielle Rose)

Chorus: Danielle Rose
You are sacred
You are set apart 2x

Verse 1
Created Sacred
Made for Greatness
Instead you give up
and give in to all the fakeness

lost dreams
words breakin’
the spirits of the living. ah…. I can’t take it

You were made for more
No, you were made to soar
No, you were made to relate and to praise the Lord

Why let go?
You are special
Believe in yourself
See your potential

Then stay devoted
remain chosen
let your heart glow for forever this moment

You know He’s been there
You know He’s been where
dignity and honor
is gone it’s so unfair

But I do care
and God’s right here

he will never leave you
no matter how defeated
no matter how lost or forsaken
Your spirit has meaning

and that’s why you’re set apart for a reason

Chorus
You are sacred
You are set apart 2x

Verse 2
Misunderstood
Not feeling good
There’s so much doubt
Like if you should…
You wonder if
you just quit
What will happen
Willl you be missed?

Uhh… yes you will
here’s the deal
You are alive
and life is what you feel
this is a trying time
but you can make it still
your purpose is….
what makes you real

So let’s proceed
and walk together
you’re never alone
but forever accepted
God will bring you home
for our time is measured
but we must live on
let heaven be our treasure

Oh….
pray for all
who hurt people
pray for their hearts
that they may be healed
To errr is human
to forgive divine
just trust in God
and you’ll be fine.

Breakdown :
So different
but who isn’t?
Normal is a word
not a state of existence

What’s missing?
Your mission
Brought into this world
to love and love living

Don’t give in
your better than that
it will only increase the pain
and never subtract

Get hate off the brain
no time for that
instead develop a plan
to rejoice and be glad

Chorus:
You are sacred
You are set apart 2x

Sacred you are sacred
(yeah! believe it)
Sacred you are sacred
(you are wonderfully made)
Sacred you are sacred
(have no fear)
Sacred you are sacred
(believe it…. trust.)

07. Brand New

(ft. Emily Wilson)

Verse 1
Torn apart
Worlds apart
The unknown
Is getting strong
Will I make it?
Will I survive?
I need newness
I need life
So alone
Turned away
I’m so worldly
I need a break
I’ve been told
It can change
Be made new
In a Name
But I choose
To remain
Right here
With a stain
Right where
I can stay
And control
my fate
I am
Overplayed
No mistake
I haven’t made
So I suffer
In this pain
I’m trapped
but I’m safe

Everything I see
I know you are there
staring back at me
Love is in your eyes
Trust in your time
You make me new 2x

I was open
so I tried
then I followed
and cried

I was broken
I was humbled
I was loved
just as I

never knew
it would be
everything
I seek

I found
my call
and now I
am at peace
but what
does it mean?
why did
you choose me?
what now?
where to?
I am
searching

the truth
set free
brand new
that’s me

I’ll do
what I have
to do
to succeed

08. Faith Full

(ft. &E Dufresne & Knuera)

Verse 1
Faith….. in its purest state
Resides in the heart
of those who pray
Belief in one God
Is what it takes
A life worth living
Is what it makes
Faith… is the only way
To make it in this world
We have to pray!
Give glory to God!
Every day
Know He hears
Every word you say!

Faith is believing in what’s not seen
Giving up your life,
every part of your being
Living in the light,
with Jesus always walking
Your Worries go bye
Let the spirit do the talking!

Faith has always been an act of passion
Rooted in love
And yes love is an action
Trust is a must
In a faith full attraction
Christ in the center
And the rest will just happen!

Chorus: KnuERA
Through the trials tribulations
perseverance builds patience
and it’s hard to be grateful I
I REMAIN FAITH FULL

So I Put my hands to the plow
ain’t no turning back now
giving glory to the crown cuz
I REMAIN FAITH FULL

Verse 2:
Faith is what I want to be rich in
living my life as a true witness
welcome God’s path
even if it’s different
doubt is in the past
All I want is God Vision

I know… I’m called to shine bright
and glow…. like a beacon of light
Let go… of my fears and failure
Instead accept His will and favor

God Has foreseen great things
something much better
than this world that is key
Let’ grace takeover inside of me
move my heart to accept and believe
never leave
focus on the freedom
the kingdom
you and me
You and me

Love has already come
high and lifted up
the premier pioneer
faith full before us

Chorus:
Through the trials tribulations
perseverance builds patience
and it’s hard to be grateful I
I REMAIN FAITH FULL

So I Put my hands to the plow
ain’t no turning back now
giving glory to the crown cuz
I REMAIN FAITH FULL

Verse 3: &E Dufresne
An ancient prophecy, let freedom ring
The Suffering Servant has become the Risen King!
Virgin-born, performed miracles for thousands
said if you’re looking for water then I’m the fountain
Eat my body, drink my blood
You’ve got enemies? don’t hate em, show em love!
You’ve made mistakes? well I ain’t countin
And if you’ve got a little faith, you’ll move the mountains.
I’m so unsure, Lord – help my unbelief
Cause I’m still in Eden picking apples off the Tree
I know you’re calling me to get up out this boat,
but You can walk on water, I don’t even float
Lord if You promise it, I know it’s coming true
Even if I sin and break my promises to You
Help me sing Your praises, Lord – I’m so grateful,
that GOD remains faithful!

Breakdown
Faith is what I need in this hour
empty my will
surrender to the power
holiness comes when evil is devoured
I want to move up high above the towers!

I REMAIN FAITH FULL
I REMAIN FAITH FULL
(You hear me. You hear me. Ya Ya Ya Yo)
I REMAIN FAITH FULL
I REMAIN FAITH FULL
(You hear me. You hear me. Ya Ya Ya Yo)
I REMAIN FAITH FULL
I REMAIN FAITH FULL
(You hear me. You hear me. Ya Ya Ya Yo)

No nonsense

Knocking on the door of your heart
for access
Take away all the things make you

04. All Good

Verse 1:
We are than conquerors
Not distant followers
Predestined to imitate our Father
Formed in the likeness of
The son who fight’s with love
Uhh what will our response be?
Peaceful or harming?
Believe me the truth is
Sometimes alarming
20% of the world is starving
And I really hope God’s return is starting….
Every 8 seconds a life is abused
Forever that heart might be bruised
We suffer all the time but Christ did too
God is everywhere, in crisis too…
Okay, Hey here’s an unveiling
we face death daily
our wills is jailing
we can’t be kept
from God’s love, unfailing
now tell me if that’s not the truth
prevailing!

that our biggest faults may be thrown away
done with, been gone, so long, yay!
uhh, I’m sensitive to the pain
So I’m intense with all my thanks
It can all be good through just ways
Awareness of what can be, praise
Reject all sin
Devil blockade

When I’m not
So I pray
if that’s not good
I don’t know what to say

It seems everything I pour life into
Never spills or overflow
Only gets half full
Whether its:
Friendships
Bank accounts
Or school
My closet
My gas tank
rap songs too
And my rocks glass
Cause the rest melts Ice cubes
My thoughts double spaced
So they less dense too
So I must trust through
All the hard times too
Cause they lead to the best times
A glass filled full
Just a glimpse will do
My injection fuel
don’t have remote start
I encounter YOU

And I feel my heart pump
And the blood runs through
There’s no pressure in the brakes
Its a drag race zoooooom
And a marathon
I endure cause you pushed through
All the walls that I built
Now my soul flooded too
Capacity
The future look bright
All the past half true
My life’s full now
Cause there’s holes in you

Chorus:

Verse 2: Joe Melendrez
Do you live everyday as if it’s your last one
Glorifying God with all of your passion
What will be the outcome after you passed on
Will they say you and God lived fully as one?

Well some are livin half lives
Unfulfilled and unsure watchin the
world pass by?
Okay my life is different cuz I always
ask why?
How can I be better and live fully
ALIVE!

Yeah it’s the reason for creation
And we have been sent forth
To every single nation

They say Love above all things
But If that’s the answer
then why are we stalling

What are we waitin for?
We can glorify God
With our every single day of course

Yeah… it’s Time to hit the next level
Why limit yourself or your potential?

06. Covered By The Blood

(ft. &E Dufresne)

Intro scripture: “These are the ones who have survived the time of great distress. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb.” Revelations 7:14

Verse 1: Joe Melendrez
I remain with the main man
Son of the hea-ven
Life that I’m Drankin’
This cup is Amaz-an’
In the same way then
After bread break-an
We take the blood
It covers like a blanket
Remember it is poured out
Failings that you had can now sort out
I’m saying It’s saving, so don’t fall down
But if you do,
The blood will drip it all out

Uhh… I really wanna get raised
At the end of the day
But sometimes I forget
the reason I’m made
Imperfect’s my name
Yet I have no shame
I am covered in love
I got a new ban-aid

The promise is here
Forever it will stay
The sacrifice clear
Brought though faith

The covenant’s new
For me and you
Let’s make peace through
The blood attitude

Chorus: 2x
Covered By the Blood
Drip Drip Drip Drip Drip Drip
I let my soul glow
And it’s gotta show
I’m covered by the blood
Check the attitude

Verse 2: by Jeffery “&E” Dufresne
blood wash my sin
Old spice clean my skin
Look at me, then at Him
Now at me, back at Him
Thought I knew?
Think again
blows my mind what’s at hand
When my thoughts had all before
Been am I saved? Am I damned?
Now the blood as it ran
Whispered focus on the Man
His example – Implemented
That’s what really was the plan
How now? Be in love
Live authentic, Don’t give up
Leave behind all the jealousy, the lies, and the lust
Moses, staff in the water
Now the Nile run red
Neither excess nor deficiency
Survives instead
Vices drown Cause my mother

Steppin’ on the serpents head
And the helmet of salvation now is on
my head
Concussions may still happen
But the doctor says
“This is the Blood of Christ”
I reply say again
Said Concussions may still happen
But the doctor says
“This is the Blood of Christ”
I reply AMEN

Chorus: 2x

I am the truth
All of my blood
It covers you

I am the first
I am the last
I go before you
to clear the path–

but you look past
although I’ll ever last
how could you doubt
do you know what I’m about?

My love for you is true
This is why I rule
I thought I told you
I’m all powerful

If your hungry I’m food
If you hurt I soothe
If you ask I’ll do
If you pray I move

I will never change
I Remain the same
Yesterday and today
I am the new age
Go head and turn the page

I really want you to get this
Remember I’ve lived it

Chorus: The Strange Familiar
I am the one
I’m the one, I’m the one
who made ya
I’m the one, I’m the one
who saved ya
(repeat)
Ruler, the Ruler
Ruler, I’m the Ruler
Ruler, the Ruler
Ruler of All

Verse 2: KnuERA
They say I’m mad
(He lyin, He lyin)
They say my authority
is weaker than the cowardly lion

that I’m helpless and a tyrant
I’m killin’ them off with disease
and gun firing
they prayin to the universe like I
didn’t design it
in the timing and then encode it
I gave you mathematics all the way
down to aerobics
In the moment I’m lookin’ to the chosen
To represent and console them
and they don’t want to know Him
gotta go then
cuz it’s so clear
time to step down from the rulers chair
and let em kna kna know that the
king is here
but since they never knew me
they’ll fear due to all the lies in they ear
so I shed a tear like a father in
despair to see many sons separated
by the spear, yeah

Chorus:

apocalyptic message
And Jesus is comin back?
There’s no question

Chorus:

Verse 3: BEEF
Coming back like MJ to the wizards

Whether in your iPod or playin in
your Walkman
Hear the footsteps hear that Jesus walking
No matter the age, or the time or place,
You can Listen up and find his grace
cuz
Life journey is an amazing race
Strong faith, promise he got lives to save
Coming back, all the anticipation building
Morality made, with the space that he’s filling
God willing, the man he’s fulfilling
The love for every other in his heart over spilling
Into the world as we speak, so when
you’re blinded by the light you’ll
find the answer that you seek
Many men were just the soldiers in the struggle
Listen up He’s comin back about to
conquer all troubles

Chorus: 2x

09. Life Dream

(ft. Knuera)

Bridge: Joe Melendrez
It takes a lot
To make it hot
but when you choose
to say I do
you become one instead of two
you become one instead of two

Verse 1: Joe Melendrez
First things first
You gotta be in love
So much so you can’t enough
Though when your apart
You’re not too far
You are connected by the beat of
your heart
Reach for the stars
All things are possible with our God
He has designed us
To keep shiners
Then glorify him with our kindness
Through our relationships
We find His
merciful love that is unitin’
but yeah,
it takes a lot of work and trying
maybe some fighting
hopefully a you like what your
finding
so when you commit there’s no
denying
this is forever
for better or for worse
through the pain and joy
even when it hurts
I do love you
You have my word

Chorus:
I’m so in love
Can you be the right thing?
Could you be my life dream?
Oh your love
Makes me want the right things
Will you be my life beam?

Verse 2: KnuERA
Baby we filled with passion
Just like the masses
They don’t know what love is
We give it practice

Not sex and magic
More like to cherish
Laced in 7 carrots
Given all in fairness
Lead out in spirit
Declare my love
Let ‘em hear it
Giving all what’s given
All on da river
This my poker face
Not jokin ba baby
Giving what it takes
Our work can’t be replaced
Break

Chorus:

Chorus Breakdown

Verse 3: Joe Melendrez
Do you now the process?
Let’s be honest
You don’t have to be
A King or Goddess
All you need is loving promise
It’s not a secret
So you speak it
Public not private
In front of a priest wit
People thinking the name of Jesus
Invisible grace is what their seeing
Rings are exchanged and a kiss your leavin
it’s just the beginning of the season
Marriage is a union
Between two humans
Opposite sex with
With the right context
Baptized life
So they always stay blessed
It is good
In God’s eyes
He said be fruitful and multiply
So when the fruit is nice and ripe
A new creation may arrive

Chorus:

Bridge

I’m so in love
Can you be the right thing?
Could you be my life dream?

10. Beyond The Visual

(ft. &E Dufresne, Kristin Firestone)

Verse 1: Joe Melendrez
Go Beyond the visual
Giving others depth is critical
To me it seems my life is full
Of dreams that are livable

I put ‘em into action
With my STAND uP PASSION
So everywhere I go
God is my fashion

Course I’m uplifted
With thanks I’m gifted
No worries at all
My prayers are listed

But it’s all on me
I give it all I got even when I’m fatigued
I fail, and that’s why I succeed
So now movin’ on, beyond what is seen

Turn away from the toxic
What do you profit
Gain the whole world
But have nothing in your pocket…

At all times everyday in every way
Meditate find peace within
And then let it resonate

PRE-CHORUS: Kristin Firestone
BEYOND THE VISUAL

CHORUS: Kristin Firestone
MOVE THE MOUNTAINS
USE YOUR TALENTS
LEAN ON GOD FOR GOOD BALANCE
SEE BEYOND YOUR
CIRCUMSTANCES
DREAM BIG AND MAKE IT HAPPEN

POST-CHORUS: Kristin Firestone
BEYOND THE VISUAL

Scripture: Joe Melendrez
“I have said these things to you that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation, but take heart I have overcome the world” – John 16:33

Verse 2:
Excuses Excuses
Everybody uses
Some to cover up
what we’re not coin’

Remember who you represent
And what your pursuing
All the distractions
Try remove’em
Focus on the finish
Ask for assistance
Help is on the way
God’s always listens

Carpe diem
See beyond the vision
Activate hope
And stick to the mission

With deeds not words
Delete temper
Sometimes it gets worse
Before better

If you really want it
You’re gonna have to work
So walk by faith
And not by dirt

PRE-CHORUS

POST CHORUS

Verse 3: &E Dufresne
In the case of dreaming dreams
Or living dreams
I’d rather live it
Cause dreamers always chase
But you can’t dream enough to get it
Aesop’s advice
Stand up, even if you’re different
Ideas might change the world
But actions always change it
quickest
I got all these aspirations
But the world’s gone cold
feet frozen in my steps
At 20 years old
It’s like my dreams died
They were getting frostbite
So I kept em to myself
It’s dangerous to take flight
then i might fail
Or even worse i might succeed
with great power
Comes great responsibility
so I’m responsible
For all things impossible
all of my dreams
Were Always said to be illogical
Enough about me, though
What about you?
Are your dreams taking flight?
Or are you stuck in your shoes?
Well its time to lace em up
Let’s walk the road together
life’s a social event
It’s Up to us to make it better

(ft. BJSR)

CHORUS:
I AM MAN
I AM MAN ENOUGH
I AM MAN
I AM MAN ENOUGH
ENOUGH ENOUGH

Verse 1:
The rain is comin
The storm has arrived
I have no control
Over God’s mind

He knows….. exactly what he’s doin
Let go and let him keep on movin

Sure I’m finding fear
Inside of here
I gotta slow down
And call God near
I’m honest right now
These are my tears
Lord what do you want
Let it be your will

I just want love
to cover all suffer
and then fill up their
thirst and hunger

uhh
keep the devotion
each bead goin
your prayer is shown

I surrender for a reason
You are God
I’m not but believe in
A restored heart
Said I believe in a restored heart
And a brand new start

CHORUS:

Verse 2:
I am man enough
To accept what I can’t change
Even when it’s tough
I break through the chains

Unlock the door
And I walk forward
And then endure
cuz I trust the Lord

I tell myself that it’s gonna be okay
But deep down there is uncertainty

God… help me to accept
All my bad thoughts please
intercept

I have confidence in your promises
So I keep it 100 honest

I surrender
To everything heavenly
Grace is helping me
To see I was made for a purpose
Meant to be shared
Meant to be care
Meant to be there
For everyone here

yeah
I need to persevere
Lead by example
Be sincere

12. Lift Me

(ft. &E, Dufresne, Ruel)

Chorus:
Lift me
So that I see
No more sinning
Just forgiving
I pray that you will…

Lift me
So that I see
No more sinning
Just forgiving
I pray that you will…

Verse 1: Joe Melendrez
I’m getting it
All lined up
Everything that I messed up
It’s a collection
That brings much tension
Gets in my way
When I think redemption
But I had to get through
I still see the light
Even though I’m sinful
Salt in the wound
Cleans but stings
This is my confession
Lord hear me…
I’m sorry
I really am
For all of my crooked paths
Please straighten them
Replace them
Have your way wit them.
amen!
The Son has risen
With no darkness in Him
the hardened hearts
become soft when with Him
and that’s just the beginnin’
He will transform my whole life if I
let Him
let Him
just let Him

Chorus:

Verse 2:
We are called to conversion
That’s ever single person
Sure we all stray
But God’s way is perfect
Come on Lets go
under the surface

Purify our heart so
it works with purpose
we all have disoriented lives
Morals out of wack
We sin all the time
But I hope everyone is like the
prodigal
Return to the Father and say
Look what I’ve done
He’ll probably say come
Your sins are undone
My mercy is yours
This is freedom
Hmmm this is hard to believe
Why forgive a sinner like me?
I’m not worthy
I’m good but do wrong
My thoughts get messy if I think too long
Oh that’s right Jesus died for a reason
And if we don’t forgive He’ll keep on bleedin

Chorus:

Verse 3:
Lift Me
A bench press of heavenly
proportions
calling in the spotter
And I’m contemplating forfeit
holiness
one step more than
My energy can take me
the mission is aborted
Again
Though I know that its important
The flesh doesn’t desire
What the spirit wants more than
Money, fame, those
Things I’d rather stay poor in
Than sitting here now
realizing I’m a bored man
Enter Grace I’m a cup
And it’s poured in
Blood from the side of the Lord’s lamb
I was stiff as a board before then
Hopeful now
Of a life Post Mortem
Metanoia in process
A changed man
He absolves me
I say “Amen”
Used to be that I lived
to give in
But it’s all Past tense
Now, I’m Forgiven

13. Louder Than Before

(ft. Knuera)

Verse 1: Joe Melendrez
You already know I
have to declare
Speak a little loud-a
Yeah,
Before was good
But I want this voice
make God proud-a

So
I put my praise in the air
And stand a little stronga
Remove my fear

and
I gotta say yeah
Everyday
And pursue His will

Uh,
Let’s make a statement
Teach generations
Of God’s greatness

Plus
hope is waitin
On us
to improve our playin

In life
we choose our way and
it’s time to find
His love that’s savin

If you hear what I’m sayin’
Go ahead, speak up
Let me hear you prayin’

Chorus: 2x KnuERA
No matter how life goes
I’m givin all from my soul
Oh Oh
Louder than Before

Let the whole world know
I’ma Stand up and Go
Oh Oh
Louder than Before

Verse 2: Joe Melendrez
Okay
It’s time to give all
Never let go even when I fall

Search for strength
When I have no more
Keep smile on my face
Cuz I serve the Lord

Yep
He’s always great
the reason he came
Is to leave us grace
and
our sins, erase
We are purified
By his holy name

Please
Don’t be ashamed
You’re a child of God
Keep the faith

So
we can see his face
Beyond beautiful
That will be the day

Yes
the harvest is plenty
But the workers aren’t many

It seems like we are forgetting
We need to recruit
So the kingdom heavy

(Chorus 2x)

(Verse 3)
Come on and
get louder
Get Louder
GET LOUDER!
(say it with me)
4x

If we don’t speak
Deep from our heart
Reach for the stars
Will we go far?

Come on! we need our God
To walk with us
& carry us on

To
The road to salvation
Sometimes it feels like
Pavement’s breakin’

But
We gotta bold
Live our life louder
Let the world know

Chorus: 2x

You gotta say it first before it can happen
Hopefully graces will fall from the sky
Answering all the questions that you hold inside
So take some time to meditate on the mysteries
given

Sinking deep into your thoughts

Find faith and trust in the mother of love

So when your spirits are down
And wanna be lifted, pick up this rosary
Because heaven is listening’!
