CONFRONTING THE ATHEISTIC SIDESHOW And I’ve seen the lies, and I’ve read the lies, and I’ve heard the lies, and I hate the lies And I’ve seen the created exalt itself above the Creator And your science is wrong, and your textbooks are wrong, and your speeches are wrong, and your protests are wrong For there’s a way which seems right to a man but in the end it only leads to death Atheist-Free Youth We’ve embrace what’s true And I’ve watched your mundane song and dance whining that there is no God But I’ve watched you deify and worship the human potential Humanism is your idol, and skepticism is your bible But all the wisdom of this world is but foolishness to God Atheist-Free Youth We embrace what’s true God’s not the one who’s dead

I THE CONTRITE You say when I have sin God doesn’t hear my prayers As though they dissipate into thin air Somewhere between my lips and the heart of God I look into the Crucified’s eyes and I don’t see that there Facedown in all the filth I’ve lived Repentant heart, faith in the Son: He sees and He forgives So if your statement is true then I have no hope For no human effort could ever make me His
3.
DECLARATION TO A DEAD WORLD I don’t want your poison I don’t want your filth I don’t want your reasons I don’t want your lies Resist for a better today Resist for a better tomorrow Steadfast I choose life I don’t want what makes you die I don’t want your drugs I don’t want your death I don’t want your excuses I don’t want your one night stands Resist for a better today Resist for a better tomorrow Steadfast I choose life I don’t want what makes you die

ALL MY HEROES HAVE FALLEN I know a man whose heart of gold is not very hard to see I know a man who’s clothed in wisdom, in strength, and dignity And every hero that I’ve ever had has fallen except for one And in this world of silver and of gold I can find nothing greater than to be your son I know a man who raised his son in ways of righteousness I know a man whose son desires to make him proud and nothing less And every hero that I’ve ever had has fallen except for one And in this world of lofty dreams and goals I can find nothing greater than to be your son And my father is a man among all men My dad, my friend This world is full of foolish men and idols This world is failing fast but this I know Every hero that I’ve ever had has fallen except for one And every hero that I’ve ever had falls short of this one man: My dad, my friend

Vespers 02:42
VESPERS If I serve You out of want for Paradise then lock me out of Paradise If I serve You out of fear of hell then send me straight to hell I am not worthy, Lord, to receive Your love and grace But only say the word and your servant shall be healed The Lord has promised me, His Word my hope secures He will my shield be as long as life endures Expand my heart to perfection And grant me the satisfaction that is beyond any desire This is my Faith On Christ the solid rock I stand This is my Faith All other ground is sinking sand Nothing in my hand I bring Simply to the cross I cling This is my Faith, this is my Faith The mystery of forgiveness overrules the truth of judgment Do what is worthy of Thee, not what is worthy of me This is my Faith On Christ the solid rock I stand This is my Faith All other ground is sinking sand Nothing in my hand I bring Simply to the cross I cling This is my Faith, this is my Faith

AND OF HEAVEN IN SUCH A HELL Open your eyes, my friend, and look around Yah there’s death tonight, yah there’s death tonight Open your eyes, my friend, and look around Yah there’s sorrow tonight, Yah there’s sorrow tonight Open your eyes, my friend, and look around Yah there’s loneliness, yah it’s everywhere Now open your heart, my friend, and open your arms Let’s go Speak for the silenced and fight for the weak Listen for the lost and those that weep Don’t turn your back cuz it could’ve been you In a world that’s dying walk the Path of life and truth And of heaven in such a hell

THE RELATIVISM PLAGUE So quick to change the Message to fit the times If that’s your faith then it’s not mine It’s time to put away the slogans, put down the cliché tactics And pick up responsibility Preacher: rebuke thyself Prophet: rebuke thyself Teacher: rebuke thyself If you forgot what matters most Have we carried our cross for so long that we neglected to carry our own weight? And at whose feet did you really lay your burdens down? And did you manage to get their name? Preacher: rebuke thyself Prophet: rebuke thyself Teacher: rebuke thyself If you forgot what matters most

THE FEW AND THE PROUD First to fight for right and freedom And to keep our honor true and clean Admiration of the nation, Semper Fi We’re the strongest ever seen Honor guides our every step, Oorah Oorah Courage grants us no regrets, Oorah Oorah In many a strife we fought for life and never lost our nerve Committed to what makes us free The few and the proud If the Army and the Navy ever look on Heaven’s scenes They will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines Honor guides our every step, Oorah Oorah Courage grants us no regrets, Oorah Oorah In many a strife we fought for life and never lost our nerve Committed to what makes us free The few and the proud!

THIS ONE’S FOR THE SURVIVORS This ship has sailed before Into the tempest it sails again All beacons blackened out Our bearings gone Confusion reigns And constellations cruelly hidden behind the clouds Why must this happen once again? My sweat it turns to blood Still I will force these words to bookend my plea: Baruch Atah Adonai (blessed be the Lord) Let there be signs Of land ahead, of beacons bright and true Let there be signs Of something, of anything that will guide and see us through If this journey called life has taught us anything at all It’s that this too will pass This ship has sailed before And we’ll survive it once again
