From Genesis to Malachi
We read and we fantasize
About what it was like
To live in those Bible times
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
The Book of Acts and further on
Tell us what it was like
To live in those Bible times
We’re living in Bible days
We’re living in Bible days
Just reach for your Bible
And read what it says
You’ll see we’re living in Bible days
The prophets all point to days ahead
And we take heed to what they’ve said
That time has come to which they spoke
Now you and I must wear this yoke
We’re living in Bible days
We’re living in Bible days
Just reach for your Bible
And read what it says
You’ll see we’re living in Bible days
Don’t be deceived were the words He said
About days in the future so far ahead
The signs are all here, pointing to now
Not know the when where and how
The prophets all point to days ahead
And we take heed to what they’ve said
That time has come to which they spoke
Now you and I must wear this yoke
We’re living in Bible days
We’re living in Bible days
Just reach for your Bible
And read what it says
You’ll see, you'll see
We’re living in Bible days
We’re living in Bible days
Just reach for your Bible
And read what it says
You’ll see we’re living in Bible days
You don’t have to wait
You don’t have to wonder
You don’t need a sign
Of holy thunder
To know we’re living in Bible times
From Genesis to Malachi
We read and we fantasize
About what it was like
To live in those Bible times
Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
The Book of Acts to Revelation
Tell us what it is like
To live in these Bible times

Do Not Take the Mark
06:38
|
|||
A heads-up … a warning
Though you’ve ignored it before
These birth pangs foreshadow
Jesus waits at the door
Earthquakes and famine
Pestilence and war
What’s coming is dire
Great danger’s in store
You’ve spent a lifetime sitting on the fence
Saying things will work out is your confidence
Being basically good is your rock of defense
But what’s unfolding now’s no coincidence
Do not take the mark, do not take the mark
No matter what, no matter what
Do not take the mark, do not take the mark
Your only chance is don’t take the mark
If you remain when millions at once disappear
The gospel will be preached amidst chaos and fear
Read scripture for yourself, the message is clear
Know for a fact, the tribulation is near
Do not take the mark, do not take the mark
No matter what, no matter what
Do not take the mark, do not take the mark
Your only chance is don’t take the mark
C’mon you say, why keep flogging this stuff
You’ve heard it before, enough is enough
But when a watchman speaks, it’s not off the cuff
Shake your head, roll your eyes, but this is no bluff
Do not take the mark, do not take the mark
No matter what, no matter what
Do not take the mark, do not take the mark
Your only chance is don’t take the mark
Your only chance is don’t take the mark
Your only chance is don’t take the mark
A beast will arise out of the sea
Establishing rule by guile diplomacy
Performing wonders and signs that deceive conclusively
Demanding worship as God in vile blasphemy
You think it’s all been a joke for centuries
A myth revealed by degrees
You’ve never been driven to your knees
But when reality hits, your heart will seize
When reality hits, your heart will seize
Do not take the mark, do not take the mark
No matter what
Do not take the mark, do not take the mark
No matter what
Do not take the mark, do not take the mark ...

Where I Belong
04:32
|
|||
My flesh is weak
But Your Spirit’s strong
I do those things
I know I shouldn’t do
And I do not do those things
Which draw me close to You
My flesh is weak (the flesh is weak)
But Your Spirit’s strong (Your Spirit’s strong)
Freedom is one thing I know I’ve got
But it doesn’t give license to sin
Why do I find that more often than not
The ways of the world seem to win
My flesh is weak (the flesh is weak)
But Your Spirit is strong (the Spirit's strong)
My flesh is weak (the flesh is weak)
But Your Spirit is strong (the Spirit's strong)
I’m still running that race
My eyes are fixed on the prize
Sometimes I can’t keep the pace
And I fall for the world’s lies
I’m still running that race
My eyes are fixed on the prize
Sometimes I can’t keep the pace
And I fall for the world’s lies
My flesh is weak (the flesh is weak)
But Your Spirit is strong (the Spirit's strong)
My flesh is weak (the flesh is weak)
But Your Spirit is strong (the Spirit is strong)
Your grace is sufficient
It’s in You where I belong
Your grace is sufficient
It’s in You where I belong
Where I belong ...

Memories
04:22
|
|||
Memories are tormenting me
Bad memories are torturing me
Carved in stone
The deed is done
The past cannot be changed
Nor rearranged
Old memories been haunting me
Irish Catholic Guilt is plaguing me
Irish Catholic Guilt been shaming me
If a good day you had
No worry lad
This soon too shall pass
Irish Catholic Guilt is blaming me
The nemesis been gaslighting me
My nemesis is gaslighting me
Dark muse: j’accuse!
Projecting his own stain
And eternal shame
Infernal flame
Nemesis been gaslighting me
Enemy assaulting me
My enemy attacking me
Fiery dart aimed to the heart
Do you got your armour on?
My enemy's assailing me
Deliverer prevailing in me
My Deliverer prevail through me
The blood of the Lamb
The word of our faith
Love our lives not unto death
Our last breath
Deliverer prevailing in me
Lamb of God
Risen One
Great High Priest
Messiah
King of all kings
And Lord of all lords
Your eyes are aflame
From Your mouth proceeds a sword
Memories been troubling me
Bad memories are taunting me
Next time the devil reminds you of your past
Just remind him of his future
Memories tormenting me
Enemy assailing me
Deliverer prevail
In and through me
Hallelujah
Glory
Hallelujah
Glory …

Everlasting Life
05:18
|
|||
For God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son
Whoever believes in Him will not perish
But have everlasting life
Everlasting life to come
Growing old like a garment
I know what that means
Our mortal body ages slowly day by day
For years we don’t notice
But eventually it shows
Then we can’t go on and simply pass away
With everlasting life, we have no experience here
The Word of God is the place where we are told
Forevermore is in the future, there’s nothing of the past
And when it arrives, we never will grow old
For God so loved the world
That He gave His only Son
Whoever believes in Him will not perish
But have everlasting life
Everlasting life to come
At the foundation of faith in Jesus is eternal life
With atonement, resurrection, and being born again
I don’t understand now, but I know that it’s true
And one day I will fully comprehend
So we receive everlasting life in heaven
Because Jesus Christ died for all our sin
So when we trust in Him and believe
We are pardoned and have eternal life with Him
Everlasting life, I can’t ever earn it
I can’t buy it, and it is from no merit of my own
We are saved by grace, and that through faith
In the Holy Lamb of God alone
We receive everlasting life in heaven
Jesus Christ died for all our sin
When we trust in Him and believe
We are pardoned and have eternal life with Him
God so loved the world
He gave His only Son
Whosoever believes in Him will not perish
But have everlasting life
Everlasting life
Everlasting life
Everlasting life to come
Life to come
Life to come ...

Tribulation
04:26
|
|||
I know you’ll think it’s crazy
What I have to say
Will you face the tribulation
Or be caught away
The Day of the Lord will arrive
Like a flood in full rush
The Beast will rise
All will comply or be crushed
Earthquakes, famine, pestilence, and war
Things that this world has not bargained for
Like a woman in labour
The signs are showing
More intense and more frequent
The birth pains are growing
Enlightenment philosophy
Humanism, evolution
Secularism, post-modernism
Materialism, revolution
They’ve all run their course
The outcome of sin
No moral compass
Just dust in the wind
Dust in the wind
Where you end up results
From the choice you make
You should think about that
So much is at stake
God’s Word holds the truth
Or are you disinclined
Will you believe in the Saviour
Or run out of time
Will you believe in the Saviour
Or run out of time
The tribulation is coming
From days of old
The tribulation is coming
It’s been foretold
Time’s greatest upheaval
Horror and plight
Then Jesus will come
Like a thief in the night
Jesus will come
Like a thief in the night ...

I hit the streets when I was just sixteen
They were cold, dirty, so hard and mean
At eighteen I hit the road for the coast
It’s where I desired to be the most
Life was no different on those city streets
I still had no comforts, no bed, or sheets
Back and forth I travelled looking for a home
The real truth is, I just preferred to roam
Selling drugs for a living is no way to live
I received more beatings than I could give
I drank myself stupid trying to hide my pain
Swearing to myself I’d never do it again
I believed it was just me I was hurting the most
And nobody would care when I was dead as a ghost
Though I hurt many people doing the things I had done
None were hurt more than the Father, Spirit and Son
In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti
Then I saw a Great White Throne and Him who sat on it,
from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away.
And there was found no place for them.
And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God,
and books were opened.
And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life.
And the dead were judged according to their works,
by the things which were written in the books.
The sea gave up the dead who were in it,
and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them.
And they were judged, each one according to his works.
Back then I learned a lesson or two
Lessons about what and what not to do
Today I look back at all that I’ve learnt
Aware I wouldn’t be who I am if it twernt
I wouldn’t be who I am if it twernt
I wouldn’t be who I am if it twernt for those days
If it twernt for those days ...

Will You Be Left Behind
05:24
|
|||
These are the days
These are the days
These are the days of great falling away
Like Judas of old who chose to betray
The scripture foretold it would be this way
Will you be left behind
These are the days
These are the days
Like flies gather, false teachers appear
Preaching lies itching ears desire to hear
What is called faith is affected veneer
Will you be left behind
As in Noah’s day, they show no concern
They scoff and mock, where’s this promised return?
That time they drowned, this time they’ll burn
Will you be left behind
The Lord knocks at the door, they pay no heed
We’re rich they claim, there’s nothing we need
Blind, naked, and poor, they’re lukewarm indeed
Will you be left behind
These are the days
These are the days
Come on, they say, it’s all a myth
To hear this talk, it’s just as if
We’re on the verge of some cosmic shift
Will you be left behind
The handwriting appears upon the wall
The watchman discloses an ominous call
Few pay attention to the warning at all
Will you be left behind
A shout, a trumpet, what’s going on
In but an instant, the faithful have gone
Darkness prevails where the light once shone
Will you be left behind
The Lord knocks at the door, they pay no heed
We’re rich they claim, there’s nothing we need
Blind, naked, and poor, they’re lukewarm indeed
The Lord knocks at the door, they pay no heed
We’re rich they claim, there’s nothing we need
Blind, naked, and poor, they’re lukewarm indeed
Indeed, they're lukewarm indeed
Will you be left behind
As in Noah’s day, they show no concern
They scoff and mock, where’s this promised return?
That time they drowned, this time they’ll burn
They’ll burn, they’ll burn
Will you be left behind?
Indeed, these are the days
These are the days
These are the days ...

Anticipation Blues
06:47
|
|||
The smell of great sorrow hangs in the air
Unease about the future stalks us everywhere
Labour pains are more intense, there’s sign after sign
Of the Kingdom that is coming in the fullness of God’s time
History has no focus, it’s a wilderness for sure
Apart from Christ Jesus, it is sick beyond a cure
People scoff at His return, say that it’s a fallacy
But there’s no force under heaven that can cheat the prophecy
Old Daniel saw the vision, the beast rose up from the sea
The Ancient of Days came and destroyed the enemy
The Son of Man received all glory at this holy rendezvous
Instead of chaos there’s the hope of anticipation blues
As in the days of Noah, life just carries on
People want the darkness, they’re in bed with Babylon
They like to keep a stash for their peace of mind
There’s an elephant in the room
They’ll have to leave it all behind
A mighty judgment’s coming
No one listens, no one hears
Warnings of apocalypse fall upon deaf ears
Naysayers dismiss it as a fool’s conspiracy
The writing’s on the wall but they don’t want to see
Old Daniel saw the vision, the beast rose up from the sea
The Ancient of Days came and destroyed the enemy
The Son of Man received all glory at this holy rendezvous
Instead of chaos there’s the hope of anticipation blues
The churches say they’re rich
But they’re naked, blind, and poor
The Saviour’s on the outside knocking at the door
Because they are lukewarm, the Lord will spit them out
The Revelator wrote it down, beyond a shadow of a doubt
The great falling away has begun
Love for Jesus has grown cold
We knew these days were coming, all of it was foretold
False teachers broke in, they ingeniously deceived
But the faithful will be saved
By the Lamb in whom they have believed
Who knows the evil of indifference
Who has an ear to hear and then repents
When time comes to an end, they will be aware
Opportunity is gone, no second chance will be there
No one can claim that they never heard
The gospel was proclaimed throughout all the world
And then the King appears to inconceivable shock
Every word is true, dread is all they’ve got
Old Daniel saw the vision, the beast rose up from the sea
The Ancient of Days came and destroyed the enemy
The Son of Man received all glory at this holy rendezvous
Instead of chaos there’s the blessed hope
Old Daniel saw the vision, the beast rose up from the sea
The Ancient of Days came and destroyed the enemy
The Son of Man received all glory at this holy rendezvous
Instead of chaos there’s the hope of anticipation blues
Anticipation blues
Anticipation blues
Anticipation blues.

Consider Jesus
06:37
|
|||
Behold the Lamb
Behold the Lamb
Consider Jesus
Consider Jesus
Consider Jesus bumper stickers
Used to see them all the time
Probably illegal now
They’re too far across the line
Thoughts of Him have long faded from the cultural purview
He’s to blame for most everything inappropriate to do
Consider Jesus
Consider Jesus
Rejected for two thousand years
The most despised of history
Out of love He gave His life
Contempt for Him’s a mystery
Yet the smoke and mirrors narrative still stones Jesus’ name
The subjective bias drones on and on
The song remains the same
It takes courage to follow Jesus
It’s not something you can fake
They persecute His faithful
It’s the risk one has to take
Is this life more important than eternity
Each of us must decide what our choice will be
Consider Jesus
Truth stumbles in the streets and honesty’s outlawed
Condemning those denouncing evil because they believe in God
As in the days of Noah, iniquity is in plain sight
Mankind loves the darkness far more than the light
Mankind loves the darkness far more than the light
It takes courage to follow Jesus
It’s not something you can fake
They persecute His faithful
It’s the risk one has to take
Is this life more important than eternity
Each of us must decide what our choice will be
Without the shedding of His blood
No sin could be forgiven
Other than through Jesus
No one could enter heaven
His Holy Spirit seals our inherited destiny
Reveals His Word and sanctifies us in His reality
His resurrection from the dead means believers rise up too
Believe in Him for salvation is all He asks us to do
His grace and mercy given, the greatest truth ever told
Yes, consider Jesus, the Lamb of God behold
Yes, consider Jesus, the Lamb of God behold
Yes, consider Jesus, the Lamb of God
Behold the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
Blessing and honour and glory and power ...

I heard You knockin’
On the door of my heart
I love You Jesus
I’m not ready to start
Ooh, ooh, His kingdom come
I hit the gutter
And I lost my soul
I watched the devil
Buy a man with gold
Gone, gone, the kingdom come
The kingdom come
I love the Lord
And pray His kingdom come
Don’t you know
His victory’s already been won
But every sinner’s
Like another one
Like another one
I praise the Lord
Because I love Him so
I know that most of you
Don’t even want to know
Jesus, Jesus and His kingdom come
Jesus, Jesus and His kingdom come
His kingdom come
Jesus and His kingdom come ...

The Word of God
06:37
|
|||
Most today view God’s Word as a myth
They don’t see it as truth, so dismiss it forthwith
Something from the age of the dinosaur
No longer valid, simply ignored
Hardly any take it literally
It’s to be read, they argue, allegorically
And God is not considered the source through His Spirit
Consequently it’s brushed off, few willing to hear it
Standing on the rock
Standing on the rock
Standing on the rock
Of the Word of God
The Word of God
Prophecy is doubted despite its past accuracy
Fulfilled to the letter miraculously
Deemed irrelevant at this point in time
Put out to pasture, long in decline
This rejection of scripture began in the past
Where higher learning was esteemed
And presumed unsurpassed
Those who discard it are heralded as wise
Particularly from the perspective of their own eyes
Standing on the rock
Standing on the rock
Standing on the rock
Of the Word of God
Denying God’s Word results in the great apostasy
That abandons the cross of Calvary
Itching ears want to hear the lies and malaise
Foretold that would come in the last days
Salvation, sanctification
And encouragement in its pages
We behold the Lamb of God
The hope of the ages
Here we find life’s meaning
Where we came from, and where we’re going
We witness God’s steadfast love ever overflowing
Standing on the rock
Standing on the rock
Standing on the rock
Of the Word of God
The Word of God
Denying God’s Word results in the great apostasy
That abandons the cross of Calvary
Itching ears want to hear the lies and malaise
Foretold that would come in the last days
Standing on the rock
Standing on the rock
Standing on the rock
Of the Word of God
Standing on the rock
Standing on the rock
Standing on the rock
Of the Word of God
Standing on the rock
Of the Word of God
Standing on the rock
Of the Word of God
The Word of God.
