Come After Me
Lyrics
Verse 1:
If you would follow me
You must lay down your life
Take up your cross, and count as loss
Your glory and your pride
Verse 2:
The riches of this world
All power and human praise
Will slip like sand, right through your hands
But my love will remain
Chorus:
Come, come after me, come after me
Don’t lose your life trying to save it
I know it’s hard but it’s worth it, you’ll see
Come after me
Verse 3:
If you would follow me
My way leads first to death
But then to life, my risen life
To lasting joy and rest
I’m the treasure in the field
You must sell your all to buy
But the riches there, beyond compare
It makes the cost seem light
Chorus
Tag (5x):
If I am anything, I must be everything
Come after me

Don’t Want to Miss Your Heart
Lyrics
Verse 1:
I don’t want to be the rich young man, Who went away sad
His knuckles white, from holding tight,
To everything he had
I don’t want to be that Simon
With his pious air
Let me be the broken woman,
Washing your feet,
With her tears and her hair
Chorus 1:
I don’t want to miss your heart
No, I don’t want to miss out on the main part
So many missed the good news
But I don’t want to miss out on the heart of you
No I don’t want to miss it...
I don’t want to miss your heart
Verse 2:
Harsh words for the Pharisees,
Who kept the outside clean
Oh let me be the man in the temple, Beating his chest
Saying “Lord, have mercy on me”
You said “Blessed are the poor in spirit, Blessed are the ones who mourn
Blessed are the pure and meek,
Who hunger for me
The kingdom is yours!”
Chorus
Bridge:
What good is gaining the world if I, Forfeit my very soul?
What good is money and name if I, Can’t take it when I go?
You don’t want my lip service, If my heart is far away
You want my all, my everything
Not a character I play
Chorus

Find Rest (Matthew 11)
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Are you weary? Are you wearing thin?
Are you tired beneath your heavy load?
Are you weighed down
And at last convinced?
You cannot carry this burden on your own.
Chorus:
Find rest, find rest for your soul
I’ll walk beside you, you’re not alone
Find rest, find rest for your soul
Light and easy, come take my yoke
Verse 2:
Come to me now, lay your burdens here
Walk with me now, in quietness & trust
I am gentle, cast aside your fear
I’ll befriend you with my steadfast love
Chorus
Bridge:
All the work is done, it is finished
No, you’re not enough, but it is finished
I will lead you on, til at last your home
Ever to sing this song, “It is finished”

Turn the Tables
Lyrics
Verse 1:
You exploit the ones who would worship
Use devotion to make a dime
Sell the sacred to turn a profit
Make the holy into merchandise
When all the world tries to get in the building
They can’t get in the door cause it’s
Overcrowded with goods and salesmen
In the holy house of the Lord
Verse 2:
Jesus comes in turning over tables
Flies into a righteous rage
Makes a whip and drives out the idols
He’s jealous for His Father’s name
When all the world tries to get in the building
He’ll stand like an open door ‘cause in
Three days gonna raise a signal
This way to the house of the Lord
Chorus:
Turn the tables, turn the tables over
Turn the tables, turn the tables over
Verse 3:
Do you want to make a cut on the story
Do you want to see your name in lights
Do you want a percentage of the glory
It’s not something you commodify
Don’t you know that your heart is a temple
He’s knocking down your door so
Let Him in and he’ll turn over tables
Make your heart a house for the Lord
Chorus 2x

Who Is This Jesus?
Lyrics
Verse 1:
I saw his face shine like the sun, On the mountainside
Elijah and Moses were there, Pale in his glorious light
And a voice came like thunder
And I trembled all over
Said “This, my beloved child.”
Who is this Jesus, but the Son of God?
Verse 2:
I saw him walk on the waves, I saw him still the storm
I saw the demons afraid, But the children safe in his arms
He said Lazarus rise up
Wake from your sleep
And his dead heart started to beat!
Who is this Jesus, but the Son of God?
Verse 3:
I leaned my head, back on his chest, For he was my friend
He poured the wine, he broke the bread, It was near the end
I saw them take him
Beat him, try to break him
And hang him on the cross
They laughed, they mocked him
He said “God, forgive them
It’s finished, now it is done!”
The sky black as ink
The earth shook with grief
As he breathed his last and was gone
Who is this Jesus? Who is this Jesus?
Who is this Jesus, but the Son of God?
Who is this Jesus, but the Son of God?
Verse 4:
I saw the stone rolled away
I saw his empty tomb
I saw the scars in his hands
There in the upper room

Be on the Lookout

Lift up your head
Be on the lookout
Wake from your bed
Don’t fall asleep
Lift up your head
He’s comin’ soon now

Could a husband forget his wife?
How much more then, will he remember,
Will He come and set things right!

Light your lamps and keep them burnin’

See the work that’s left undone
Take to the world his love and justice

Hallelujah, Christ is Born
Lyrics
Verse 1:
In a tiny town, in the dark of night
From a run-down stable, came a baby’s cry
He was wrapped in rags
And his parents were poor
But the baby in the manger was Christ the Lord
Verse 2:
Ragged shepherds were watching their sheep that night
When the angel chorus filled the sky with light “Good news, great joy to this broken land
For the baby in the manger is Christ the Lamb”
Chorus:
Hallelujah, Christ is born!
Hallelujah, the Savior of the world
This is the one we’ve waited for!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Christ is born
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Christ is born
Verse 3:
See the wise men journey
From those countries far
Over deserts and mountains,
Followin’ that star
And they gave him their gifts
And bowed on their knees
For the baby in the manger was Christ the King
Chorus 2x
Verse 4:
Come and bow in wonder and prepare him room
Come and sing with joy
Over God’s good news
Go tell it on the mountain
And in countries far
That the baby in the manger is the King of our hearts

Joy (As Far As the Curse Is Found)
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Eternal God, there at the beginning
Stepping into time, into the world
All for love, the infinite descending
To kick inside the womb of a girl
Verse 2:
A king is born, far from any palace
Bending low to serve instead
Majesty, He’s given up his status
Robed in the weakness of the flesh
Pre-chorus:
Unto us a child is born
Heaven coming down to earth
Joy to all the weary world
The human soul will feel it’s worth
Chorus:
Joy to the world Good, good news
O come let us adore Him
Joy to the world
It’s breaking through
He’s come and he will come again
Verse 3:
Let’s go with the wise men
Laying down our treasures
Falling on our knees to give him praise
With the angel choir
Singing to the shepherds
Glory to God in the highest place
Pre-chorus:
Unto us a child is born
Heaven coming down to earth
Joy to all the weary world
The human soul will feel it’s worth
It’s worth!
Chorus:
Joy to the world Good, good news
O come let us adore Him
Joy to the world
It’s breaking through
He’s come and he will come again
Bridge:
As far as the curse is found
As far as the curse is found
As far as the curse is found
As far as the curse is found
(Joy to the world)
As far as the curse is found
(Let earth receive her king)
As far as the curse is found
(Let all creation sing)
As far as the curse is found
(And let his blessings flow)
As far as the curse is found
(Til the whole world knows!)

Only the Sick Need a Physician
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Who is this man who sits with the sinners
Who dines with the drunkards
And loves the unclean
Oh who is this man who won't cast a stone
But honors the harlot
Who washes his feet, sayin’
Chorus:
Come, scarlet letters
You outcasts and debtors
I will call you my friends
I'll sit at your table
You broken and fatal
‘Cause only the sick need a physician
Oooooh
Verse 2:
Who is this man who calls God a father
The son of a blue collar carpenter man
Who calls us unclean, like tombs full of bones
We keep our religion,but whitewash our sin
Sayin’ be born again
Chorus
Verse 3:
And what kind of God would hang on a tree
Despised and rejected and nailed to the wood
You saved all the others, but can’t save yourself?
We don’t need you Jesus,we’re well and we’re good
And you're nailed to the wood
We never understood
There is none who is good! So

Everything You’ve Heard
Lyrics
You’ve heard it said, “don’t you murder anyone”
But you carry your anger like a knife
And your insults like a gun
You’ve heard it said, “don’t you cheat on your wife”
But your mind is a motel room
And you undress the other woman with your eyes
Oh everything you’ve heard, I’m turning on its head
I’m cutting to the quick of the law and the prophets
I’m gonna finish what they said
You’ve heard it said “A king will come with a sword”
But I tell you to turn the other cheek
And I’ll wear a crown of thorns
Yes I’m the son of the One,
But I’ve come to wage another war
And I’ll bleed for my enemies
And I’ll settle the score
