Submission

Kneel before the one true God!
He's been here before time began
He is the Beginning and the End
Buddha and Allah got nothing on Him
He's the only one that will save us from our sin
How can you ignore all of His work?
From the stars above to the Earth below
He is the creator of all so bow.
Alpha and Omega, Father of us all
You are and were and still to come
Make Your presence known, reveal to us Your home
Forgive them, they don't know what they choose
Fill your hearts with His saving grace
Not materials and idols
Brahman and Zeus will always fall short
Before the One who stands alone.
(He is the creator of all)
Alpha and Omega, Father of us all
You are and were and still to come
Make Your presence known, reveal to us Your home
Forgive them, they don't know what they choose
He is the creator of all (x3) so bow

Priorities
03:28
|
|||
When one puts their faith in what will perish,
they must stop and turn to the One that will surely last.
Why choose what will rot and fade away over the One that would melt that worthless calf?
Don't serve the creature over the creator
We have no right to think that He is worth less than a lie
Where did we go wrong, exchanging life for death?
When did we assume freedom comes from what keeps us enslaved?
God is jealous for our souls like we are jealous for ourselves
Master vs. master -- one is life and one is Hell.
Prioritize the priorities of life
What means more to us here than what is waiting up there?
Indulging in our idolizing ways, we've become blind to the God that matters most.
Give me strength to deny the idols that cloud my mind
Give me strength to deny the idols that wreck our lives (x2)
This is the time to fight the idols that wreck our lives
This is the time to fight -- step up and fight!
Step up and fight!
He has called us all to not stumble and fall
Keep your eyes on Him and turn from this sin
I've failed You so many times, bring back my focus

Shut Your Mouth
03:24
|
|||
In His name are power, glory and honor
But you disregard it like a whore
Using it with no thought or restraint
Still believing you're a saint
As His name comes from our mouths
It is a slap in His face
With vulgarity in the tone
We sink further into disgrace
We must learn to shut our mouths before we defile His title
He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords;
How dare we misuse that name.
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace
Forgive us for the words we speak
Your name should shake our souls and tremble us
Not be used as a cuss (x2)
You shall not swear by His name falsely,
and so profane the name of your God.
He is the Lord, fear Him and shut your mouth!

Day Of Worship
03:00
|
|||
This is the day of worship
To our King, to our King (x2)
(He is the Lord, He is worthy of our praise. The King of kings and the Lord of lords.
We worship you, We love You. Forever reign!)
And on this day, we give You praise
Forever holy is Your name
And on this day, we give You praise
Forever holy is this day
Holy, holy, holy is our God

Obedience
04:03
|
|||
Honor your father and mother, that your days may be long in the land
that the Lord your God is giving you.
This institution was placed for us to learn,
For how can we honor the Father if we can't our own?
When we disobey them we are really saying "no" to Him.
Whether they love or despise, we will see them worthy through our eyes
Of the honor their entitled, even if you're belittled
The love they truly have for us we may never realize
But we'll see them worthy through our eyes.
They would gladly give their lives for us, just like the Father did
Why not give our lives to them, yet claim to honor the Maker?
Born at the first birth; saved at the second
They'll see us through it all with God lighting the way.
This obedience extends beyond them
It must be rooted in our souls (x2)
Forgive us for all the tears, forgive us for us all the years we dishonored you.
Forever grateful are we; forever thankful we will be (x2)

Killing Spree
04:00
|
|||
(Gentlemen, prepare to defend yourselves)
From the men that come to destroy
Malice fills their hearts and rage the mind
All feelings have fled; nothing left but hate
There's no concern for those they harm
They know not the Savior or what He even stands for
The wrath that they spill will be returned in time (x2)
All those times I gave in and longed for violence too
Corrupted is my mind and theirs
Satan has dreamt of our sadness
We will bring him down with love,
It's more powerful than this hurt
We must urge each of oursleves to not cause this pain
Prepare yourselves with the Word, it is mightier than the sword (x4)
And I tell you this, Hell will never get the best of us
We will stand strong, look death in the face and say "bring it!"

Gouge Out Thy Eye,
03:31
|
|||
Eyes open wide, heavy breathing
You know exactly what you're doing
This obsession -- it rots your vision
Gouge out your eyes!
Let your bed be undefiled and keep your thinking pure
For lust destroys us all
Guard heart and mind (x2)
This is where it stops!
Do not lust in your hearts after her beauty
Or let her captivate you with her eyes
Don't let this craving bring you down and bury you
For her steps lead to the grave, as will yours
(Listen to me)
Bind these teachings on your heart, tie them on your neck
You will reap what you sow
Listen close!
You may see pleasure now, but will see torture soon
You see beauty in her face, but later see the disgrace
And even though you burn with desire, you will be burning in fire

Cut Off Thy Hand
04:12
|
|||
Let your hands be clean, so not to hinder the mind
Being grateful for what you have is better than being jealous of what you don't
Maintain integrity so others will maintain trust in you
Trust in you!
The wealth of this world isn't found in the tempting things
Real treasure awaits us
Be willing to lose everything in order to gain everything
It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle
than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God
Don't take what isn't yours for what's yours can be taken.
Even your life is not yours to take
Where it is placed, He will choose
Don't put hope in wealth, hope in the Provider (x4)
You theif! Remember you're always in His house, always in His sight
Think before you take, for the choices that you make could result in higher cost (x2)

Liars
02:49
|
|||
Oh how deceitful we all are
Misleading in one way or another
Out of spite and out of fear
Hiding behind masks of darkness
Let the mind act before the tongue
Keeping you safe from the snare
Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord
but those who act faithfully are His delight
(Chorus) We all are liars, we deserve the fire
We cannot keep this up (x2)
From truth comes trust
But with lies, you lack
All may fall for your lies
But God's right behind your back
We spread rumors and slander
We have fallen off the track
Show us, Jesus, the way
To live in the truth, Your truth
(Chorus)
None who practice deceit shall dwell in my house;
no one who utters lies shall continue before my eyes

Contentment
05:11
|
|||
The root of bitterness; envy takes control
Wrath is cruel, anger overwhelms
But who can stand before jealousy?
Cast it out of your life (x2) Now!
(Na na na na na na)
We wouldn't know what contentment is if it slapped us in the face
What's yours is yours but what's not is not
A tranquil heart gives life to the flesh
But envy makes the bones rot
It makes the bones rot
Selfish ambition is born from self dissatisfaction
Self worth is found in the Savior,
Not in this boasting behavior
Don't be Satan's puppet anymore
Time to cut the strings
Turn from what tears at the heart,
You don't need those things
You're already worth so much in the eyes of the Father
You're already what He wants and loves
He is all we need!
God's desires for you come before your wants for you (x3)
