We were all born Of the world yet to be More than just flesh We are souls In the image of Thee And as we break We begin to rebel When we get older Humilities harder to sell (Chorus) Wide is the entrance And broad is the way That leads to destruction And robs you of days Narrow is the gate It’s hard to endure The road to eternal life Transgressor Life has a way Of escaping us all Before we know it we wake And it’s wasted away It’s harder to see When we make a bad call A choice that determines Where we stand in eternity (Chorus) Wide is the entrance And broad is the way That leads to destruction And robs you of days Narrow is the gate It’s hard to endure The road to eternal life Transgressor

We all know right We all know wrong But we still only Do what we want Never thinking About the outcome We're vain, we're cold We're so nonchalant See no evil, hear no evil Resist the world you know Speak no evil, think no evil Evil, evil Be not deceived God won't be mocked What you will sow So you shall reap Don't let the sun Go down on your anger The spirit is willing But the flesh is weak See no evil, hear no evil Resist the world you know Speak no evil, think no evil Evil, evil See no evil, hear no evil Resist the world you know Speak no evil, think no evil You gotta resist the world you know See no evil, hear no evil Speak no evil Speak no evil, think no evil Evil, evil

I've been wondering why you hate your life Spending all your time without a rhyme Discarding love you find Will you ever know how sad it is to be Someone captive by their anger On a ship that sails an empty sea It's the same old story To darken all the glory But you'll cry out in the end It's the same old story Today seems mandatory But someday you'll have to make Amends Amends When you're driving down a dark, lonely highway Do you think of your mortality And sins you've kept away When you're lying all alone that's when you'll see There's a door that you can open When you find the light the lock and key It's the same old story To darken all the glory But you'll cry out in the end It's the same old story These days seems mandatory But someday you'll have to make Amends It's the same old story To darken all the glory But you'll cry out in the end It's the same old story These days seems mandatory But someday you'll have to make amends It's the same old story To darken all the glory But you'll cry out in the end It's the same old story These days seems mandatory But someday you'll have to make Amends!

I'm thinking about Thinking about Thinking bout the olden days Always working it out Working so hard Working till the sun Would light the day Didn't get what you want Get what you need Not until you worked Beyond the possibility Then dreams would be Everything feels so different now We've lost the urge someway, somehow We're never too old to reach new goals As long as we keep our heart & soul When I'm looking ahead Looking beyond Looking for the things to come I get down on my knees Begging Him please Let me live to see the rising sun If I've learned anything It's never to think That we're ever given more Or promised anything It's what we bring Everything feels so different now We've lost the urge someway, somehow We're never too old to reach new goals As long as we keep our heart & soul Everything feels so different now We've lost the urge someway, somehow We're never too old to reach new goals As long as we keep our heart & soul Everything feels so different now We've lost the urge someway, somehow We're never too old to reach new goals As long as we keep our heart & soul Keep our heart & soul

As I lie in the dark I see you so clear Your face has been printed In my mind, in my heart For the rest of my years We all need somebody Someone who can be The ground that we walk on With strength that is anchored Like a deep rooted tree That's why I need you to be near That's why I need you to be here That's why I need you to be Anywhere but far away, my dear You are the one who makes me whole I trust with all my body and soul Darling I love you, I need you to know This life isn't partial No it doesn't choose Those who are hurting It's got nothing to do with Who may win or lose But fate is another Story to be told It's brought us together Through all the dark weather There's no love more bold That's why I need you to be near That's why I need you to be here That's why I need you to be Anywhere but far away, my dear You are the one who makes me whole I trust with all my body and soul Darling I love you, I need you to know That's why I need you to be near That's why I need you to be here That's why I need you to be Anywhere but far away, my dear You are the one who makes me whole I trust with all my body and soul Darling I love you, I need you to know

It's been said there will come a day In the twinkling of an eye Where you won't have another chance Or time to say goodbye Written down so long ago Of those who are left behind A fear I hope that you'll never know Too late to hit rewind Out, up & in The games will end Only five out of ten Before seven years begin We're out, up & in Soon enough the door will shut And the world is in decline Wickedness it knows no bounds As fear and panic align Missing those who now are gone Deception by design You realize that you were wrong But your pleas are now denied Out, up & in The games will end Only five out of ten Before seven years begin We're out, up & in It's a celebration! Oh, oh Every generation! Out, up & in The games will end Only five out of ten Before seven years begin We're out, up & in Out, up & in The games will end Only five out of ten Before seven years begin We're out, up & in

Encourage one another Build each other up In a world of trouble Never say enough Be strong and courageous Do not be dismayed For The Lord your God Is with you today God is our salvation Never be afraid He gives power to the weak And strength to the enslaved He’s The God of mercy But we just can’t believe He is everything And more than we need (Chorus) We can’t go down Like a ship on the sea Because we’re too mighty To fall to our knees We fight & we wrestle Risk losing it all When we could win battles And Rise To The Call There’s so much to be done But we hit every wall We repeat our own mistakes And question why we fall Because it’s human nature Hard to comprehend That someone would die For everyone’s sin (Chorus) We can’t go down Like a ship on the sea Because we’re too mighty To fall to your knees We fight & we wrestle Risk losing it all When we could win battles And Rise To The Call

Say me a prayer, sing me a song I'm saving every tear I'm everywhere as you carry on Collecting your every fear I'm more than a story, fighting for you I'm holding you in my hands With honor and glory presenting the truth Someday you will understand My child If your heart's been defiled I'll cleanse you I am the way and the truth I am the life to be No one comes to the father Except only through me Don't let your heart be troubled Believe me faithfully You know the way to the land Where I'm going It's easy to doubt when you rarely see The power I'm gifting you It's all about the faith of a seed Then you'll see the mountains move My child If your soul's been beguiled I'll save you I am the way and the truth I am the life to be No one comes to the father Except only through me Don't let your heart be troubled Believe me faithfully You know the way to the place Where I'm going I am the way and the truth I am the life to be No one comes to the father Except only through me Don't let your heart be troubled Believe me faithfully You know the way to the place Where I'm going I am the way and the truth I am the life to be No one comes to the father Except only through me Don't let your heart be troubled Believe me faithfully You know the way to the place Where I'm going Where I'm going Where I'm going

I'm looking over here, looking over there Looking all around, and it's everywhere Thing's keep changing, a new world to be Some think luck, some destiny Upside, downside, somewhere in between Doesn't really matter when you're owned by the machine A foreign land where we don't belong Impossible to sing if you never know the song No rest for the wicked There's no peace just the same There's no rest for the wicked As long as darkness remains I don't want you to worry but let me make it clear Gods coming back and the time is near It's never ever too late to lay it all down Pick up your cross and put the crown down No rest for the wicked There's no peace just the same There's no rest for the wicked As long as darkness remains There's no rest for the wicked There's no peace just the same There's no rest for the wicked As long as darkness remains There's no rest for the wicked There's no peace just the same There's no rest for the wicked As long as darkness remains

When I was young I never gave Love a second chance I never knew why it wouldn't last Any longer than a second dance Love is for life not overnight Like the world would have you believe It takes a fight for the good of what's right Before we will ever see Love won't concede I'm giving you my heart Till death do us part I'm giving you my soul To have and to hold Never a lie, never deny The truth within our hearts Carry the weight, gotta communicate So we know we've done our part Leaving your pride always looking inside Deep down in your soul Without a disguise you will realize That there's so much more to the show You need to know I'm giving you my heart Till death do us part I'm giving you my soul To have and to hold Death do us part Death do us part Death do us part I'm giving you my heart Till death do us part I'm giving you my soul To have and to hold I'm giving you my heart Till death do us part I'm giving you my soul To have and to hold

You think that you're invincible You think that you're immune Smarter than the answers in the word You close your heart and close your mind Your spirit is in need The blindness from your pride is loud and heard But there's a day of reckoning It's coming after you Nothing is forgotten by the creed Running, hiding, slipping, sliding Days becoming years How many will it take for you to see Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Time always passes And steel turns to rust You're well read of things ahead But you don't really care There was a time when you believed it too That God is great and God is good He rules the earth and air Like ice, the message breaks and crashes through There are hearts that harden And never will believe That there's a place that covers every need So far away but closer Than it could ever be When we ask the prison sets us free Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Time always passes And steel turns to rust Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Time always passes And steel turns to rust Ashes to ashes Dust to dust Time always passes And steel turns to rust
