1. GAIN
I know where I am going,
because I choose to live in the light,
and I know I will struggle,
but I have God by my side.
Evil is all around me,
testing me to do what's wrong,
but I will not back away,
for God has made me strong.
God has saved me from my pain,
and for Him I will stand.
I've been made new,
by the blood that was shed.
I've been made strong,
by His power over death.
I will stand strong to His name.
I will stand strong without shame.
I will stand strong in the midst of pain.
For to live is to die,
and to die is to gain
2. NEVERENDS
You call me close-minded,
yet you're not listening.
I give you my hand,
but you push me away.
I'm just trying to help you,
to show you the truth.
I give you my hand,
but you push me away.
Trying my hardest to help you understand,
but you keep turning your back on me,
you keep shutting me out,
you ask for respect,
yet you give none back.
You attack my beliefs,
and the way I live.
Honest and true,
my life is not my own.
To God I give the glory,
I fall to my knees.
Feeling your pain,
you're breaking my heart.
I'm just trying to show you
what God's love is all about.
Crying out to the one,
who will save me from this pain.
On my own, I cannot survive.
My destiny, eternal life.
Falling short of His will for me
3. STAND
I feel I am falling,
from grips of righteousness.
Trapped in sin, there's no way out.
I am weak, the walls keep building.
I feel so helpless, I feel so all alone.
Bound in chains,
the power of sin grow over me.
I try to separate,
but it can't be done.
Darkness surrounds me,
leaving me without help.
I can't get out,
I can't find help.
I'm trapped inside my own iniquities.
I try to separate,
but it can't be done,
without help from above.
Then I realized,
He's been there the whole time.
I'm the one who left,
and turned my back on God.
I'm the one at fault,
I'm the one to blame.
I'm a new creation.
I have been justified,
by the blood of the One,
who hung on the cross.
I will no longer give into my desires.
I will not, I will not fall,
and live on my own.
You'll be there to pick me up,
to pick me up again and again.
I will not fall.
I will not fall.
I will not fall down.
Innocent,
He shed His blood for me.
Saved the world for you and me.
I will stand for Him,
for all to see.
4. BLESSED REDEEMER
Immanuel,
God is with us.
Blessed Redeemer,
The Living Word.
Tortured and nailed,
for my decadence.
You sanctified me,
through the blood you shed.
Holy and righteous,
your mercies never rest.
My hope is in you.
My burden's at your feet.
Through this path of life,
You enable me rest,
and in meekness,
I will remember you.
I fight to remember,
the sacrifice you made for me,
but I drown in arrogance,
to live in ignorance.
The things of this world,
drag me down.
I cannot live in this rebellion.
Savior, I cry in anguish.
Messiah, cover me with your Holiness.
Reaching out, touching me.
You give me strength.
You're all I need.
Draw me closer.
Exalted One, my sanctuary.
My hiding place.
I feel your strength.
I put away my fears.
I lay them at your feet.
Blessed Redeemer,
you are God,
and I will die for you.
5. BREAK THE CHAIN
Are we trying our hardest,
to be the best we can?
We don't know the problem.
We're tired of trying to solve them.
So we sit complacent,
and shut off our way of thinking.
We escape from reality,
but to the chain, we add another link.
What's holding us back,
from serving the one who set us free?
We need to step back,
and turn off this false reality.
I hate to turn it on,
and see a world gone wrong.
Why God's watching over me,
unlocking His wisdom and mercy.
Why can't we turn it off,
and set our minds on things above?
God, open our eyes,
to what you have in store for us.
Take these eyes of mine,
away from this unrighteousness.
Reveal to me, your straight and narrow path.
Break the chain of this unrighteous act.
Letting down our guards,
enslaved by images,
trading all our knowledge,
for the chance at entertainment.
Adding more frustration,
to the confusion of our minds.
Switching channel to channel,
never knowing what we're going to find.
6. RENEWAL
Will I stand till the end of time,
lifting up my voice,
shouting to this world.
Proclaiming what is His,
and what He has done.
Fighting the battles within,
for the control of my mind.
All those lies,
whispers in my ear,
telling me of naught,
seeing my darkest fears.
Guilt and fear,
deception, desire, wickedness.
All within my heart,
make me new Lord.
Renew my heart.
Make me complete Lord.
Pure and clean, forever.
No longer does sin's power rule over me.
I am free,
paid with a price,
a gift from God,
a perfect sacrifice.
Bound with Him till eternity.
There is no law to condemn me.
For I have Him,
the one and only.
My Lord, my Saviour.
My Rock, my Shield.
With all of my heart,
with all of my soul,
with all of my mind,
I will live for you.
My light, my life,
my comfort, my Saviour,
all of my mind,
all of my soul,
renew my heart.
7. SUSTAIN
As I walk through this valley of death,
fear does not hold a grip on me.
For your sake we face death,
all day long,
and by your hand,
you help us understand.
As the spirit of darkness,
covers the land,
you hold this child in your hands,
and we know by,
the promises that you've made,
that you're light,
will guide our faith.
I will not fear no evil.
As darkness covers the land,
I watch the horizon grow dim.
Faithful, I will escape,
knowing that I've been sustained,
God has sustained me,
He alone has been my hope,
In a world waiting for me to fall,
God has sustained me through it all.
God has sustained me.
He restores my soul,
He guides me on paths of righteousness,
for His name's sake.
Even though I walk,
through the valley,
of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me.
8. I SURRENDER
Life my life by faith alone,
life my life for God,
He gave his only Son,
to die on the cross.
The word of God is my light,
his righteousness, my path.
To walk with God is a daily task.
There is no looking back.
When the days are endless,
when times are tough,
I turn to God for my help.
He answers with love.
Nevermind those scientists,
with their crooked lies.
Nevermind society,
with their lusty eyes.
Nevermind the faithless,
they don't understand the truth.
They're trying to decide their lives,
without help from above.
Take away my worldly things,
take away my life,
there's one thing you can't touch,
my faith in God.
God, I surrender all I have to you.
God, I surrender all my faith in you.
My body as a sacrifice,
I give my life to you.
God I surrender.
9. WHO'S TO BLAME
believe in treating women,
like I want to be treated.
When a woman's degraded,
by the lustful eyes of men,
I'm angry.
It makes me sick,
seeing women looked at as objects.
I'm getting tired of the lack of decency,
worn in public.
I think there's more to it,
then overlooking it all.
Then pointing the finger and screaming.
It's all the men's fault.
It makes me sick,
to see women looked at as objects.
Are we expecting too much from guys,
when girls wear too little?
10. SUBSTANCE ABUSE
Lost living for this world,
taking chances with my life,
out of control.
Surrounded by darkness,
living in sin.
Substance abuse,
destruction the toll.
Everything's changed,
everything's new.
I live my life for Christ.
I live to hear the truth.
No longer in darkness,
of false reality.
Take the word of God,
it will set you free.
God's my rock,
my foothold to life,
without Him I'm lost.
I'd close up inside.
I cannot walk,
I cannot see,
I cannot hear,
I cannot speak,
He is my reason.
My only reason.
Substance abuse,
I'm never goint back
Unashamed
