It's About Time!

Lyrics

1. He's Alive

A. Sarkkinen

He's alive, yes, yes, He's Alive,
just as sure as you breathe
and your heart is still beating He's the author of life.
He's alive, the Savior's alive, it was just like He said,
He would rise from the dead and bring hope to mankind.
He is Alive

I hear that He healed a leper.
In Cana He turned water to wine.
Many were spared from all kinds of disease.
He even gave sight to the blind.
Some think he is the prophet Elijah.
But isn't He the carpenter's son.
Then it was said He was raisin' the dead.
It could only be the power of God.

Oh grave where is thy victory, oh death where is thy sting.
This I do believe, Christ is my King,
forever to reign, Christ is my King.

I never had seen such an eerie day,
where darkness had covered the earth.
The One to who they shouted Hosanna the King
was hung on the cross to be cursed.
Father forgive them is what He said,
Compassionate up to the end.
How could we kill such a love like His,
It's something I can't understand.

Some of us already abandoned hope,
Until He appeared to our eyes.
And then we remembered the words that He spoke;
In three days He would arise, He is Alive.

Oh grave where is thy victory, oh death where is thy sting.


2. Hooked On Psalms

Willy Scott

In You O Lord, I have taken refuge.
In You O Lord, let me never be put to shame.
Rescue me, deliver me, in Your righteousness.
Turn Your ear and save me.

(Be my Rock) Be my Rock of refuge
(Be my Rock) A place where I can always go
(Be my Rock) Give the command to save me
For You are my Rock, You are my Strength, to You be the glory.

You O Lord, are my Rock and my Salvation.
You O Lord, are my Fortress and I never will be shaken.
From the ends of the Earth, I call on Your name, I lift up my voice in praise.
Renew my mind and save me.

My heart is steadfast, my heart is steadfast.
And I will sing and make music
Awake my soul, awake my guitar,
What I have is yours and I'll use it

In You O Lord, I have taken refuge.
In You O Lord, let me never be put to shame.


3. One Day

Art Sarkkinen

When I stop and think of all the things that you have done for me,
I begin to see just how my life is so much better.
Then every problem, any struggle in reality,
Is but a little while so it don't really matter.

One day I will be with you, I'm gonna put my cares aside.
One day I will be with you, and I will leave this world behind.

Well I know there's been sometimes I couldn't hold my head up high,
Because of foolish pride, not even just a little.
But then you changed my life and offered me your sacrifice.
That kind of love you gave to me is unforgetful.

What will it be like when we get there?
It makes me wonder just what we'll see.
What will we do when we get there?
All I know is, that's where my savior is, That's where I'm wanting to be.

Gotta get to where I'm going but before departure here.
Gotta live the best I can so the Lord is pleased with me.
Going out to tell my friends and every heart that understands,
Oh can you see it now we'll be one happy family.

I can hardly wait for you, so I can see your glory shine.
I will always be with you, I'm gonna leave this world behind.


4. More Like You

Willy Scott

The other day I saw a man with a paper in his hand at the county fair,
He said he knew the way.
And at the church was a man in a robe with a little different story told,
He said he knew the way.
On the TV saw a lady sellin' books 'bout what it took to get to Heaven,
Said she knew the way.
And down the street there's a man
with some beads in his hand and a statue on his front lawn,
Said he knows the way.

There's division where should be unity,
If we follow the One who set us free.

I want to be more than I can see
Break the chains of this world around me
Can you help me through, be more like you
Never follow a way that isn't true
I wanna' be more like you

I seen a man with a Bible in his hand
Knockin' people to the floor and shoutin',
Says he knows the way
Over there is a guy with long hair and a three piece suit,
says he knows the way
And all around there are people In the town so lost and alone
They wish they knew the Way
I hope some day all the people In the church
put their differences aside
So they can show the Way

You gave me hope when all hope had gone away
(You gave me reason)
You gave me reason to face another day
And with You beside me, I know it's gonna be okay

Seen a Man with love in His eyes hangin' on a tree,
Said He is the Way


5. God Of Love

Dan Drouillard

God of love, I refuse to believe that You just make bad things happen.
God of love, I know pain and anguish are just earthly lessons.
You gave us free will and we choose to do evil.
Will we ever learn our lesson help us Lord.

(God of Love)
God of love you built a world of challenges to help us grow.
(God of Love)
Bad things happen but you always turn those
things to something good.
(God of Love)
God of love you fill our hearts with hope Your grace just overflows.

God of love, why do we choose sin and evil over faith and justice?
God of love, we need to look up to heaven and accept your love.
Your waiting for us with love and patience.
You just want us to come to You and be saved.

The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong,
Nor does the food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant,
Or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.


6. All Aboard

Art Sarkkinen

Our god is a mighty God
His Power is movin' on
His goal is to set us free
His word is a light to me

There isn't anything that He couldn't do
There isn't any way to keep His love from you
He has overcome, you need not be afraid
It's surely good to know, when evil makes a stand,
The Lord will run him over like a locomotive train

Our God is a mighty God
His works are Almighty Strong
For those who call His name
He is the one who saves

All aboard, for the Lord, All aboard
The glory of the Lord… Everyone aboard for the Glory of the Lord…
1st Peter 4:11, Psalm 46:1, Psalm 27:1

8. The Man

Willy Scott

You can put your Faith in astrology,
mix in some psychotherapy,
But I know a Man who died for me,
And it's Him that I believe.

Some they believe in a place called Zen,
And some in reincarnation,
But the Man said you've got to be born again,
And it's Him that I believe.

The chosen people make the laws
That govern 'cross this land,
They’d better learn to make room for the Man.

The Man said seek Me first and everything will follow
How much more simplistic could it be
You may not be perfect, innocent or blameless
He will take you as you are, and soon you will be free
Following the Man

You can pray to a cow or tree,
Or withdraw from society,
But the Man said the Truth will set you free,
And it's Him that I believe

You can don a robe and shave your head,
Or claim that ape is your Uncle Ned.
But there's just one Way is what the Man said,
And it's Him That I believe

There will come a day when false prophets fall away
Then the world will come to know the Man


9. Adultery Blues (I Aint No Good On My Own)

Dan Drouillard

Well I need your Sweet Love Jesus, 'cause I aint no good on my own.
Well I need your Sweet Love Jesus, 'cause I aint no good on my own.
I walked out on my old lady, 'cause I didn't have a happy home.

Well I thought I could find happiness in someone else's arms.
Well I thought I could find happiness in someone else's arms.
Now I know my life is not just about me, 'cause I caused my whole family harm.

Well I thought if I found somebody who's fresh.
It would be great but I was just selfish
I left my wife and now my life's a mess,
this aint no way to find happiness.
Now I only get to visit my kids,
and they are caught in the middle of my business.

Now I learned a painful lesson it's true.
I found someone new and it tore me in two.
But that's nothing compared to fate of my kids,
they'll have to suffer more for what I did.
Now they'll have segmented lives,
And I'll have to fight, just to keep them in mine.

Well I need your Sweet Love Jesus, cause I aint no good on my own.
Well I need your Sweet Love Jesus, cause I aint no good on my own.
Now don't you go doing what I have done.
Turn to the Son and mend your ways.

Well I need your Sweet Love Jesus, cause I aint no good on my own.
Well I need your Sweet Love Jesus, cause I aint no good on my own.
I guess I learned my lesson. Turn to Christ and mend your ways.


10. Watch Them Shine

Art Sarkkinen

There is something we can do for this hurting world
We can teach a little child all that's good and true
If you want to see change
If you want to make a difference
From the earthly point of view
Bring the children unto Jesus that's what we can do

La da da…
La da da… teach them right
La da da…
La da da… watch them shine

There is nothing better than to see a little child
Growing in the faith of God, Knowing all the while
That we're bound to see a change
And they're going to make a difference
From the earthly point of view
If we lead the children unto Jesus, that's the best that we can do

Hear the children, singing Jesus, now we learn from girls and boys
See the children, when they're laughing
They fill the world with all their joy


11. Psalm 98

Dan Drouillard

Sing to the Lord a brand new song for He's done marvelous things;
His right hand and his holy arm have gained the victory for Him.
The Lord has made His salvation known.
His righteousness, He has shown to the nations.

He has remembered his Love…
and his faithfulness to the house of Israel;
All the ends of the earth…
have seen the salvation of our God.

Shout for joy to the Lord all the earth, burst into jubilant song.
Make music to the Lord with harp and lyre
and praise Him all day long.
Blast the trumpet and the ram's horn,
shout for joy before the Lord the King.
Let the sea resound… the rivers clap their hands
and the mountains sing together.
All the ends of the earth…
will see the righteous judgment of our God.
Umm..., Psalm 98?


12. The Yearning

Dan Drouillard

Oh Lord, why do I fill up my life with the world?
I feel so empty inside, most times I just don't know why.
Oh lord, I have every earthily thing I could ever want,
But I still feel so empty inside. Won't you just show me why?

You only live in this world, its ways are not My ways.
Fill up your life with Me, so you can live life abundantly.

Oh Lord, why do I fill up my life with the world?
I'm so busy that I have no time; my family just misses me so.
Oh lord, I know that my children are longing for me,
But I find other things to do. What I need is to ask help from You

You only live in this world, its ways are not My ways.
Fill up your life with Me, live life abundantly, Take care of your family,
and teach your children about me.


13. Who's Knows Today

Art Sarkkinen

All of us want to be healthy and able to do all the things that we like.
To be somewhat secure, financially stable,
enjoying the comforts of life.
Making the future the best that we can,
working with what strength we have.

So were moving along, It's business as usual
doing whatever it takes.
But if were not to careful we may find ourselves
getting too carried away.
Now everything seems to be going alright
but notice the time flying by.

Who knows today tomorrow will come?
And who knows for sure life will go on?
Ask yourself this, are you trusting in Jesus?
For who knows today tomorrow will come?
If tomorrow will come.

He's our Rock Of Salvation
We can stand on
He is everything we ever need

We like to dream of exciting new places
although we may never get there.
And we'd like to see a few better changes
to keep us from having despair.
Sometimes we fight just to get through a day
but are we forgetting to pray?

So as we continue dear family and friends
remember to keep this in mind.
It's better to lose everything that we have
to gain all the riches in Christ.
Sooner or later we don't know the time
Could come like a thief in the night.
