01) Stranger

People talk about Him
And His ways they can't explain
Others come against Him
And His reckless claim to fame
He's an axiom
He's the maximum
He's a rebel and He's got a cause
Don't try to lock Him up
He's the One who makes the laws

Stranger
You've gone a little to far
Stranger
Who do You think You are?

They didn't understand Him
Though His words were plain to see
Because of this they made a plan
To kill Him brutally
He was different
He was heaven-sent
And for this they took His life
But in the end
He rose again
His name was Jesus Christ

Don't know where You come from
You're a drifter born to roam
Stranger
You're a long, long way
Long, long way from home

I know there's something more
More than meets the eye
His words cut right through me
How can I deny?

I know who You are
Stranger
You come from afar
Stranger
The bright morning star
Stranger
I know who You are
Stranger

02) See no evil

I float inside her womb
Oh mother, I am coming soon
Suddenly, fear and dread
When mother says she wants me dead

Oh how can you do this to me?

Thousands come
Please don't kill me
Thousands go
I want to live
Day by day
Can anyone hear me
The numbers grow
I want to live

God hears them cry
We hear the lie
And we simply look the other way

See no evil
Hear no evil
Speak no evil

From a pail with open eyes
I see the man that I desire
He looks at me and turns his back
As my life fades, it fades to black
And there's no turning back

(Mommy, can you hear me?)
Mommy, mommy, I'm afraid)

See no evil
Hear no evil
Speak no evil

03) The pain inside of me

The night is closing
Closing on me
I watch the sun
Fall into the sea
And I think of you and me

Where are you?
When my tears are falling down
Where are you?
You're not around

The days are long
The night's eternity
I think of how it is
And how it used to be
When You were here with me

Where are you?
When my tears are falling down
Where are you?
You're not around

The days are long
The night's eternity
I think of how it is
And how it used to be
When you were here with me

I lay, I bleed
But you will never see
I cry, I need
I lay, I bleed
But you will never see
The pain inside of me

The fire has died
It's such a great divine
But God can fill the sea
Won't you come back to me?

I see your face
In my mind it haunts me to this day
When I sleep
You're in my dreams
Just can't get away

I lay, I bleed
But you will never see
I cry, I need
You know I need you
I lay, I bleed
But you will never see
I lay, I bleed
The pain inside of me
The pain... the pain

04) Cry out for love

When I was a young boy
So sad, you know
I was looking for the answers
But that was a while ago
Those days are gone
I found what I'm lookin' for
But what I got ain't nearly enough
So I'm cryin' out for love

Cry out for love
I can't find what I'm looking for
Cry out for love
Got a little, but I need some more

I looked around
This Tinseltown
It was just make believe
But there's a world
Within our world
The naked eye can't see
The Spirit of the Ancient One
That was, is, and shall be
His love is ringing in my ears
Crying out to me

Cry out for love
I can't find what I'm looking for
Cry out for love
Got a little, but I need some more

I ain't quittin'
I won't give up
'Cause I know what waits for me
You've been sittin'
Get off your butt
There's enough for you and me

Cry out for love
I can't find what I'm looking for
Cry out for love
Got a little, but I need some more

05) Tear down the walls

He puts on a face
And walks out through the door
What lies behind the mask
He's trying to ignore
Inside he holds a child
That one he used to be
But is no more

She lives in a fairy tale
Her life's not what it seems
She's just a paper doll
Like in the magazines
Trying so hard to hide
The bitter pain she feels
But it won't go away
She knows that it's so real

Run
But there's nowhere to hide
Run
From what you feel inside
Jesus is all we really need
He can release us
And set the captives free
He wants to
Tear down the walls

He walks up to the grave
In memory of the dead
He thinks of all the things
He wished that he had said
So now he lives to bear
The weight of all his guilt
Within the confines of the walls
That he has built

Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls

Run
But there's nowhere to hide
Run
From what you feel inside
Jesus is all we really need
He can release us
And set the captives free
He wants to free us
If we would just believe
And let Him
Tear down the walls

06) When the reign comes down

You see it all around you
It's everywhere you turn
And like a beast that stalks the night
It's deadly hunger burns
It feeds on the lust and greed
In the wicked hearts of men
Hunts you down
It's the hound of hell
He's on your heels again

Desire conceived
In the mind it breeds
'Till it's giving birth to sin
Sin brings death
And the wicked won't rest
Will we ever see the end?

When the reign comes down
Death, the beast, the liar
When the reign comes down
They all will burn with fire

It motivates the rapist
It moves the hand that kills
Fills the heart with the wrath of Cain
And blood begins to spill
The scavenger of lost souls
It feeds as they expire
Licks the lips of the mouth of hell
And spews eternal fire

Desire conceived
In the mind it breeds
'Till it's giving birth to sin
Sin brings death
And the wicked won't rest
Will we ever see the end?

When the reign comes down
Death, the beast, the liar
When the reign comes down
They all will burn with fire

When the reign comes down
The sky is raining fire
When the reign comes down
The flames are reaching higher
When the reign comes down
The scarlet moon is rising
When the reign comes down
A face that shines as lightning
When the reign comes down

Death, the beast, the liar
When the reign comes down
They'll choke on their desire
When the reign comes down
The sky is raining fire
When the reign comes down
The flames are rising higher
When the reign comes down
While Babylon is burning
When the reign comes down
The world stops turning
When the reign comes down
His face will shine as lightning

07) Lies

She's cold as ice
She burns like fire
Many faces
Oh, but one desire
She leads you in
As you admire
Oh, her many graces
She's a silent liar

Angel of light
Is how she comes to me
Dark as the night
Her heart of ebony

Lies
Her evil plan unfolds
Lies
A wickedness I'm told
Lies
Is challenging my soul
Lies

The web she weaves
Is so receptive
But beauty fleeting
Oh, and charm's deceptive
She leads you in
To the fire
To fan the flames
Of her desire

Lies
The illusion seemed so real
Lies
Reality concealed
Lies
It all will be revealed
Lies

Dark as the night

08) Eyes of innocence

Remember how we used to laugh all day
All the things we used to say
How come hearts can grow so cold
Just because we grow old

Things were simple then
Why does it have to end?
Can we be little children again?

Through the eyes of innocence
It can be as it was then
Childlike love is heaven-sent
Through the eyes of innocence

Today is just tomorrow's memories
Broken pictures, faded dreams
Embracing thoughts that bring us pain
Desperate eyes seek in vain
Through the eyes of innocence
See the smile of youth again
Childlike love is heaven-sent
Through the eyes of innocence

Childlike love is heaven-sent
Through the eyes of innocence

09) Love me

I'm alone, but remember
One wet and cold September
My tears were falling in the rain
I was lonely, I was blind
I needed her to ease my mind
Shackles of lust, chains of pain

I've died inside
Open my eyes
God, are You still there?
It's up to You
To see me through

With just a touch, I took a chance
A passion play turned avalanche
How could I think that this was love
Sea of lust, your evening tide
Dragged me down where dead men lie
I prayed for mercy from above

I've died inside
Open my eyes
God, are You still there?
I need to know
If You still care

Love me
Bring me back to You
Love me
Hold me close
Show me love that's true
Love me, love me
Don't ever let me down
Love me
Until I come around to You

Love me
Bring me back to You
Love me, my God
Hold me close
Show me love that's true
Love me, love me
Please don't let me go
If You love me, really love me
You gotta let me know

10) We are young, we are strong

Sometimes I wonder why we're here
We blossom, fade, and disappear
So many souls have come
And now they're gone
The legacy of life moves on
Dawn after dawn

The winds of change
The likes of which no man can tame
Who will remain
To carry on in Jesus name

We are young, we are strong
We are strong
We were sent to carry on

The future's in the mouth of babes
The wisdom of the final age
It's up to us to try and make stand
Heaven knows the time's at hand
I think we can

The test of time
To walk the straight and narrow line
The choice is mine
We follow what's divine

We are young, we are strong
We belong
We are strong
We were sent to carry on

I feel I've wasted so much time
To live is to run the race
To cross the finish line
But the road to Him inclines
As destiny unwinds

The winds of change
Nothing ever stays the same
Who will remain
To forge the link, to make the chain
