Waiting in Darkness

Natural disasters plague this world Bringing death and pain Evil empires rise and fall Leaving some to blame Where was God when Katrina raged? When the twin towers burned in flames If all powerful then why? All of the wisdom of man withers In light of God's eternal plan And only one thing remains secure The living word of God Desperately wicked we are born Corrupted seeds This stronghold grips humanity The curse of sin Where was God when temptation came? A perfect world is led astray If all powerful then why? All of the glory of man withers When flesh makes flesh the strength it fails And only one thing remains secure The living word of God Twisting words the serpent roused our evil pride: You can be like God Your eyes will open wide You will never die Expelled from the garden Falling for the lie Now death, pain and sorrow Scar all human life Flesh and spirit raging on The war within Life or death / Cursed or blessed The choice is given In the perfect sacrifice A hope remains Redemption by the blood He shed Love overcame

Spirits of demons are crawling on my skin Lusting for power control of my mind Tenaciously seeking for cracks in the armor A place to begin their insidious crime Waiting in darkness Seething with hate for the children of light Waiting in silence The strike like a beast in the night Waiting in darkness They're longing for your and my demise They cannot possess me because I am filled But given the moments corrupt me they will The flesh and the spirit are constant at war From hell's gate to glory the battle endures They're waiting in darkness Deception Temptation Haunting with accusations Unclean spirits - Invisible enemies We fight them We bind them In Jesus' name deny them Their claim of victory Over our hearts, our souls, our minds Through prayer - Spiritual warfare Through your anger they fuel the fire Feeding off of your flesh's sinful desires Lies and confusion Your faith put to the test Focusing in on all your weaknesses We must be vigilant to thwart their evil plight Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might Be prepared for war

The devil and his so-called friends Deceived to think they understand This is not a new philosophy All roads lead to God is ancient heresy Your faith is sinking sand Watch it slipping through your hands You've made yourself the deity In the end you're in misery Religion feeds the moral code But it cannot save the eternal soul Was Christ a fool to be crucified, If works could be the perfect sacrifice? You tasted the good things of God Then walked away with a bitter heart You mock the name you once sang with praise In vain you scoff at the gift of grace In darkness you live and have no shame Blasphemy runs through your every vein Your words are thorns in a futile fight To end with a curse your eternal life

Oh Lord, hear my cry I'm a man with many troubles In the regions dark and deep This world lies heavy on me Your steadfast love remains Even though I feel abandoned Invade my soul Break the chains of doubt and sorrow Skin for skin All that I am Will bless your name In you remain In dust and ashes I repent Resolved to make you my content In dust and ashes I confess My love for you within this test Afflicted, even close to death Like I'm hanging in the gallows Fangs of pain have clinched my flesh My eyes grow dim with sorrow Your wonders penetrate with light The darkest of all shadows Invade my soul Break the chains of doubt and sorrow

The artist and the warrior Fighting battles for the Lord Writing melodies to calm the aching soul Once a sword fierce in hand All the victories but one Shattered visions Lust and murder stole your heart away Fallen hero In a bed of sorrow now you lie your head in shame Through the eyes of a compromise You entertained the thoughts too long Overwhelmed by a rush of blood Captivated you stalked her love Crying out for mercy Regret plagues your every day Thank God for forgiveness And a brand new day

I speak and the waves obey I am governed by none Sovereign over all Wisdom begins and ends with me All authority is mine And I'll put an end to evil's reign For vengeance is mine says the Lord Fear me Like you'd fear a raging fire You'd never run into the flames Respect keeps you from the pain Or the raging of the ocean You'd never jump into the waves And sink to your grave Fear me To deny that I exist Suppress the truth for a lie Professing to be wise The wrath I hold will be revealed This world I will destroy Judging all who reject my name What does it profit a man To gain the whole world and lose his soul?

He is the lightning He is on high Always and eternal And His love will never die He is forever The answer to the rhyme Of what will be for you and me Before the start of time I hear the thunder I hear the call The armies of His angels From the royal temple hall One day is a thousand years Still He's drawing nigh Lift up your voice unto the sky And shout the battle cry Long live the king! He is triumphant His hope is steel You may not see Him But you know that He is real He is the fire Down from the sky He is the well of life That never will run dry

I died for your redemption All for you I sacrificed Yet you long for the world's affection Cast my love aside Jealous love I will not share you with the world Jealous love Not with man-made gods Idols of stone, silver and gold Your days are wrought with envy Are you ever satisfied? You want the best of earth and heaven As you lead a double life Jealous love How can you turn your face from me? Jealous love As another lays claim to my throne

I can tell by the look in your eyes You've been to the top of the mountain I can see in your face his abundant grace Will you offer up a little direction? Here I am a willing man And I'm thirsting for a deeper conviction With the word in hand took my feet from the sand And I'm running in your direction Lead me on Crush this fear inside of me Make my life a living sacrifice Conformed no more to the world I knew And trusting in my religion I'll live by faith and perfect love's Transforming my existence Cross on my back My life's in your hands Fulfilling the great commission Now I know what it's like to be alive I've seen your face and the disgrace I've been to the top of the mountain

No more evil and no more pain From this day forth, Satan You have nothing to gain You've led so many astray With your deceitful lies And now it's time that you pay There'll be no more compromise Listen to the angels sing praises As Jesus throws Satan back into Abyss You've led so many astray With your deceitful lies And now it's time that you pay The groom has come for his bride On that day they will call out his name Oh they will say on that day Oh Lord in the sky Praise your name Lift him up so high On that day On that day God will come for his bride On that day

I used to live like there's no tomorrow I used to think life was only a game Born to find that you'll be gone tomorrow To be desolate lying in a grave I couldn't count on the way I was feeling My heart condemned me all the time Then your love set me free from these feelings And now... now I can cry This temple's on fire Ooh he's taking me higher This temple's on fire It burns with a godly desire War waged upon my soul Since I found... I found the answer But the victory lies in the hands of the Savior Who's leading me every step of the way There's no power that can overtake the blood He shed on Calvary A sinless lamb who was led to the slaughter Freely gave his life for me Out of love he took my place And now... now I can cry
