Submission 03:42
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
3.
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!
4.
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
5.
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)

(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!"
7.
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
8.
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
10.
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)
