1. Temples on Fire
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 liying in a grave
I couldn`t count on the way I way 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
Oh 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 hand of my savior
Who`s leading me every step on the way
I can`t count on the way that I`m feeling
My heart condemns me all the time
I know your love sets me free
From these feelings so now I can cry
This temple`s on fire
Oh he`s taking me higher
This temple`s on fire
It burns with a godly desire
There is no power that can pvertake 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
This temple`s on fire
Oh he`s taking me higher
This temple`s on fire
It burns with a godly desire
2. Rebellion
Well you're goin' downtown see the city lights
You're lookin' for a high that you just can't find
Well you're falling from God and it's such a shame
You know satan is the one that you gotta blame
[CHORUS:]
But there's an answer in your heart
You know the truth now play your part
Yes there's an answer and it's waiting for you
Turn back to Jesus you know what to do
Give it up!
Your mind of rage, rebellion
Your mind of rage, rebellion
But there's an answer in your heart
You know the truth now play your part
Yes there's an answer and it's waiting for you
Turn back to Jesus you know what to do
Give it up!
Your mind of rage, rebellion
Your mind of rage, rebellion
Well you're goin' downtown see the city lights
You're lookin' for a high that you just can't find
Well you're falling from God and it's such a shame
You know satan is the one that you gotta blame
But there's an answer in your heart
You know the truth now play your part
Yes there's an answer and it's waiting for you
Turn back to Jesus you know what to do
Give it up!
Your mind of rage, rebellion
Your mind of rage, rebellion
3. Master's Command
4. Wicked Generation
Signs that mark the times are clear to see
Just look around at a world of misery
If you can`t read the writing`s on the wall
Delusions, victory, rejections last call
There`ll be no more excuses, decisions on the line
The cross you wear as a fashion statement is just a waste of time
Your reoccuring sins will lead you to your death
Will you ask for forgiveness with your very last breath
Wicked generation and it keeps on escalating, it`s another
Wicked generation, oh wicked generation
A simple prayer on sunday is such a shallow repent
You keep avoiding his love, your nights are better off spent
But deep inside your light still shines
Reminding you each day that Jesus christ was crucified
For our sins, the price he paid
Your reoccuring sins will lead you to your death
Will you ask for forgiveness with your very last breath
Wicked generation and it keeps on escalating, it`s another
Wicked generation, oh wicked generation
5. Obsessions
As the dollar exchanges the hand of many
There lie the poor who dream of having enough for today
The rich control the government while the gangs control the streets
It`s hand against the sword till the strong take out the weak
It`s all a competition to see who will get the bigger bite
Men driven by obsessions , the more they get the more they want
To have it all, they gotta see they`re plagues upon the wall
Blinding obsessions
Blinding obsessions
You gave up all your rights as you turnde to the needle
And now you`ve gone so fat, there is no turning back
Do what it takes, you`ve gotta have it all
There`s something in your blood that pulls the number
Makes a call, it doesn`t really matter if you lose it all
Just as long as you feed this desire inside of you
Can`t you see you`re destroying your life ?
Turn away it`s not what it`s made out to be, oh don`t you see?
There`s a dead end there for you
Blinding obsessions
Blinding obsessions
6. He Died
He died for you and I on that day
As He hangs on the cross for you and I
He said "Father forgive them for they know not what they do"
It's time you realize what he has done for you
Just open up your eyes and face the truth
Why don't you realize what God has done for you
He sent His only Son to die for you
And He died for you and I Oh Jesus
And He died for you and I Oh Jesus
And when they hung Him on the cross
His face they did not recognize
And when they saw Him hanging there
Oh the pain
And when they hung Him on the cross
His face they did not recognize
And when they saw Him hanging there
Oh the pain
And He lives for you and I
Oh Jesus
7. Beyond the Mountain
8. Minister by Night
Thank you for your concern for my christian life
Your prayers are deeply needed but let`s put an end to this strife
Yes, I`ve been seen in places that you`d only pass in daylight
But that`s our biggest difference we minister by night
We`re out on the front lines, challenging everyone
Surrounded by fruits of sin that consume your daughter or son
We go in after them, they`re in our sights
But that`s our gift in the darkness we`ll shed the light
I minister by night in a heavenly show
Taking the world to places, places that you would not go
So many other people are lost, they`re people you know
We minister by night in a heavenly show
Taking the world to places, where Jesus had led us go
Yes, I`ve been seen in places that you`d only pass in daylight
But that`s our biggest difference we minister by night
9. Sword of Victory
Well I seem to find that the enemy attacks
At a time when you least expect it
So you better prepare for the day will come
That your name will be elected
There'll be lots of pain and everything to gain
But dying is the only way out
[CHORUS:]
That we all will walk in victory
With a sword in our right hand
Where will you be when the going gets tough
Will you stand and fight like a man
Will you follow through when the One from above says
Here's my battle plan
I will give you the strength you need
And the courage to stand alone
If you fight for me there'll be victory
And a crown when you get home
And we all will walk in victory
With a sword in our right hand
We will stand for all the world to see
That the truth has set us free
And we all will walk in victory
With a sword in our right hand
We will stand for all the world to see
That the truth has set us free
Where will you be when the going gets tough
Will you stand and fight like a man
Will you follow through when the One from above says
Here's my battle plan
I will give you the strength you need
And the courage to stand alone
If you fight for me there'll be victory
And a crown when you get home
And we all will walk in victory
With a sword in our right hand
We will stand for all the world to see
That the truth has set us free
10. Evil Lurks
11. Sweet Memories
I remember all the things you used to say
The times we shared together, the many tears we`ve shed
But now it seems as though i talk to barren walls
I know someday I`ll see you again but `till then
Oh sweet memories
Oh sweet memories
You always took the time to spend with me
That`s how you taught me right from wrong
I remember all you`ve done for me, you done for me
When I needed you yeah you were there
When it seems the scars of time would never heal
I know you were by my side, your love was real
Oh sweet memories
Oh sweet memories
Twelve years later seems like yesterday
When you were holding me in your arms
The memories of you will never leave, will never leave
They`re calling out of me
When it seems the scars of time would never heal
I know you were by my side, your love was real
Oh sweet memories
Oh sweet memories
12. Bound in Chains
13. Warriors
All around the place tonight, if god would let you see
Legions of angelic hosts they fight for you and me
The battle it is spiritual not of flesh and blood
Not mercenaries out for kicks, they do it out of love
They`re warriors, fighting in the night
Warriors, they stand up for what`s right
Cutting through the darkness and fighting for the light
The victory belongs to god, the battle they must fight, warriors
We too are warriors, but of a different kind
Separated by our sins
Once walking on the line, listening to our calling, sent from high above
Now we stand in victory but not by what we`ve done
Now lifting up our brothers on the battle lines
On our knees victorious, we`re fighting side by side
They`re warriors, fighting in the night
Warriors, they stand up for what`s right
Cutting through the darkness and fighting for the light
The victory belongs to god, the battle they must fight, warriors
The bible says where two or more are gathered in his name
He will be there with them, his power to sustain
So will you join the battle and fight with us today
Casting off your apathy and stand your ground again
They`re warriors, fighting in the night
Warriors, they stand up for what`s right
Cutting through the darkness and fighting for the light
The victory belongs to god, the battle they must fight, warriors
