First Light Lyrics

I Have Decided


Chorus
I have decided
I'm going to live like a believer
Turn my back on the deceiver
I'm going to live what I believe
I have decided
Being good is just a fable
I just can't cause I'm not able
Going to leave it to the Lord

There's a wealth of things that I professed
And said that I believed
But deep inside I never changed
I guess I've been deceived
And a voice inside kept telling me
That I changed by and by
But the Spirit made it clear to me
That kind of life's a lie

Chorus

So forget the game of being good
And your self-righteous pain
Cause the only good inside your heart
Is the good that Jesus brings
When the world begins to see you change
Don't expect them to applaud
Just keep your eyes on Him and tell yourself
I've become the work of God

Repeat Chorus




Fan the Flame


Chorus
Fan the flame, lift it higher
Let the world feel the fire
Fan the flame, face the night
Don't be afraid your a child of the Light
Don't be ashamed to speak the name
That's how we fan the flame

There's only one way that is true
There's just one name that's been given to you
Share the life, spread the fire
Let the Word be your heart's desire

Chorus

Don't slow up, the race isn't through
A cloud of witnesses surrounding you
Look at the fields, so much to do
The harvest is great but the workers are few

Repeat Chorus




Don't You Know


Don't you know
There's a place in the middle of your heart
An empty place that only Christ can fill
And if you bow your knee to Jesus
And claim Him as your Lord
Don't you doubt for a minute that He will

Chorus
Don't you know that He loves you
Don't you know that He cares
Don't you know that He died to save your soul
And don't you doubt for a minute that He will

Your at a time in your life
When you're really in between
With people tugging you from every side
And the pain of growing up is almost
More than you can bare
And all you want to do is run and hide

Don't you see that now's the time
When you really need Him most
He's waiting and He's calling to you still
He only wants to love you and hold you in His arms
And don't you doubt for a minute that He will

Repeat Chorus




No Rusty Swords


Chorus
Don't you know the battle's raging
And you got to join the fight
There's an army of the darkness
And an army of the Light
There's a side that fights for Satan
And a side that's for the Lord
And on this battle field there are no rusty swords
And on this battle field there are no rusty swords

Christ has made the final move
So our side is sure to win
He became like us so we would have
A chance to be like Him
It seems strange so many fall back
When the victory has been won
You just need to ask yourself
Which side you're on

Chorus

There's a fact you need to understand
Before you join our side
You need to know when Jesus calls
He bids you come and die
He's invaded Satan's kingdom
And He's claiming all His own
When the battle's over
He will lead us home

Chorus
And on this battle field there are no rusty swords




Light of the World


You are the oh Lord
You make Your servants shine
So how could there be any darkness in me
If You are the
You are the

You are the Bread of Life oh Lord
Broken to set us free
So how could there be any hunger in me
If You are the Bread of Life
You are the Bread of Life

You've overcome the world oh Lord
And given us victory
So how could I fear when trouble is near
If You've overcome the world
You've overcome the world

Wipe every tear away oh Lord
And teach us the song of the Lamb
The promise is true but it's still up to You
To wipe every tear away
Wipe every tear away
Wipe every tear away




Jesus Loves Me (This I Know)
Mich

Jesus loves me, I know it's true
Because He died for me and He died for you
When I think of all the pain that He went through
I want the world to know and I want to shout the news

Chorus
Jesus loves me, this I know
It's not just the Bible that tells me so
I can feel it, feel it in my soul
Jesus loves me, this I know

Jesus loves me, how can it be
That the only Son of God should care for me
To take away my sin and set me free
To take my life and make it all it's meant to be

Chorus

Jesus loves me, he loves you too
You can't understand it all just believe it's true
He'll take away your old heart give you one that's new
You'll feel the walls come down
As His love comes breaking through

Chorus




Hound of Heaven


I fled Him down the nights and days
I fled Him down the path of years
I heard all about the love of the One
Who was following me
I clung to every shallow friend
The whistling mane of every wind
I feared that once I tasted that love
I could never let go

Cause those strong feet kept following the way I sped
But the love that followed overcame the fear that fled

So I ran inside the world again
To the ones who called the Hound their friend
I thought in vain that would be the best place to hide
To mother nature's breast I flew
And shouted to the sky so blue
Please hide me from this One so set on loving me

Came back a voice that sounded like the bursting sea
None will shelter you who will not shelter me
Shelter me, Shelter me

Finally, I can flee no more
I yielded for Your open door
The prize You sought for so long is finally Yours
Your dark and gloom have hounded me
For so long now that I can't see
I surrender all those things You've taken from me

Came back a voice that did not take him for your heart
I only wanted You to seek them in my all

The dark and gloom you said
You could no longer stand
Was after all the shadow of My loving hand
How little worthy of My love could anyone be
Who else could ever love you, save only Me...




Face the Light


There's a force in the dark that's waiting for you
And it's telling your heart what it wants to do
But the light is there and it wants to shine through
You never know how dark it is inside till you

Chorus
Face the light, don't stumble in the darkness
Face the light, see how dark your heart is
Face the light, never see the shadows
Only face the light
Face the light, don't know how much you need Him
Face the light, just turn around and see Him
Face the light, He'll take away the darkness
Only face the light

There are just two ways and you better choose right
You can die in the dark or you can live in the light
One is the Way, the Truth, the Life
The other's dark and never leads to home
Won't you

Repeat Chorus




By Your Name


I failed again to make the mark
Lost my way once more
I tried to do it by myself
Like so many times before
And now again I turn to You
I'm hungry and confused
By now my strength's dissolved away
And I feel like I've been used

Chorus
If You leave me to myself oh Lord
It will always be the same
It's You who'll have to hold my hand
And protect me by Your name
It's You who'll have to hold my hand
And protect me by Your name

I turn and find You there for me
You've been waiting all along
The open arms, the sweet relief
And You whisper me a song
At times like these I ask myself
How could I have ever strayed
And forgotten all You've given me
And lost sight of what You paid

Chorus
It's You who'll have to hold my hand
And protect me by Your name




Stranger on the Shore


In the early morning mist
They saw a Stranger on the sea shore
He some how seemed familiar
Asking what the night had brought
With taught anticipation then
They listen to His order
And pulling in the net
Found more than they had ever caught

The one He loved first recognized
The stranger there was Jesus
And he alone remembered
This had happened once before
The one who had denied Him
Who had once walked on the water
Jumped in and swam to Him
To be confronted on the shore

Chorus
You need to be confronted
By the Stranger on the shore
You need to have Him search your soul
You need to hear the call
You need to learn exactly
What it means for you to follow
You need to realize that He's asking for your all

The meal He had prepared for them
Was waiting on the fire
The smell of bread
The sizzle of the fish upon the coals
The laughter and the joy
That once more being all together
They didn't realize that He was searching all their souls

Then came the painful questions
That would pierce the soul of Simon
A three fold chance to reaffirm the love he had denied
The gentle eyes that saw his heart
And waited for an answer
Had seen the look upon his face
The moment he had lied

Chorus

Now realize that you must
Face and answer all His questions
As you stand before the Stranger
On the shore inside your heart
