A WORLD WE NEVER TOUCH

He walked along the shores of Galilee

From clay he formed the healing balm that caused the blind to see
While stones of wrath lay heavy in their hands
He knelt to write his mercy in the sand

Jesus came to set the captive free

Showed us by the way he lived the way we need to be
Oh love is more than words could ever say
We must touch them with compassion to help them find their way

*CHORUS*
How can we reach a world we never touch
How can we show them Christ if we never show them love
Just to say we care will never be enough
How can we reach a world we never touch

Could we be so busy being saved

Trying to impress a world thats long since lost its way
We pride ourselves in being set apart but
We don't have time to touch a broken heart

Even if we found the time to care would we

Take the risk involved in always being there
We hold the very thing they need so much
Sometimes the word of God can pass through just one simple
touch

*CHORUS*
How can we reach a world we never touch
How can we show them Christ if we never show them love
Just to say we care will never be enough
How can we reach a world we never touch

We hide behind these walls and the security of friends

But beyond the stained glass window the world is lost in sin

How can we reach a world we never touch

How can we show them Christ if we never show them love
Just to say we care will never be enough
How can we reach a world we never touch
How can we reach a world we never touch

 THE MISSION
There's a call going out
Across the land in every nation
A call to those who swear allegiance to the cross of Christ
A call to true humility, to live our live responsibly
To deepen our devotion to the cross at any price

Let us then be sober, moving only in the Spirit

As aliens and strangers in a hostile foreign land
The message we're proclaiming is repentance and forgiveness
The offer of salvation to a dying race of man

*CHORUS*
To love the Lord our God
Is the heartbeat of our mission
The spring from which our service overflows
Across the street
Or around the world
The mission's still the same
Proclaim and live the Truth
In Jesus' name

As a candle is consumed by the passion of the flame

Spilling light unsparingly throughout a darkened room
Let us burn to know Him deeper
Then our service flaming bright
Will radiate his passions
And blaze with holy light

*CHORUS*
To love the Lord our God
Is the heartbeat of our mission
The spring from which our service overflows
Across the street
Or around the world
The mission's still the same
Proclaim and live the Truth
In Jesus' name

To love the Lord our God

Is the heartbeat of our mission
The spring from which our service overflows
Across the street
Or around the world
The mission's still the same
Proclaim and live the Truth
In Jesus' name

The spring from which our service overflows

Across the street
Or around the world
The mission's still the same...
Proclaim and live the Truth
In Jesus' name

STILL THE CROSS
It's not conservative or liberal,
However they're defined;
It's not about interpretation,
Or the judgment of the mind;

It's the opposite of politics,

Power or prestige;
It's about a simple message,
And whether we believe.

*CHORUS*
It's still the cross,
It's still the blood of Calvary;
That cleanses sins,
And sets the captives free.
It's still the name,
The name of Jesus,
That has pow’r to save the lost;
It's still the cross.

We can water down theology,

And preach a word to suit our needs;
We can justify sweet subtle lies,
That are wrapped in noble deeds;

We can alter our convictions,

To adapt to social whims;
But we cannot change the gospel,
Or the truth contained within.

*CHORUS*
It's still the cross,
It's still the blood of Calvary;
That cleanses sins,
And sets the captives free.
It's still the name,
The name of Jesus,
That has pow’r to save the lost;
It's still the cross.

It's still the cross,

It's still the blood of Calvary;
That cleanses sins,
And sets the captives free.
It's still the name,
The name of Jesus,
That has pow’r to save the lost;
It's still the cross.
It’s still the cross

 AS THE DEER
As the deer panteth for the water
So my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee

*CHORUS*
You alone are my strength, my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee

As the deer panteth for the water

So my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee

*CHORUS*
You alone are my strength, my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee

You're my friend
And You are my brother
Even though You are a King
I love You more than any other
So much more than anything

*CHORUS*
You alone are my strength, my shield
To You alone may my spirit yield
You alone are my heart's desire
And I long to worship Thee

 ALL WE NEED
There’s an emptiness surround us
We can see it everywhere
Weary souls are broken
And blinded by despair

In the hearts of Gods children

In the wounded and the weak
We look to find our purpose
In the hope of Calvary

*CHORUS*
All we need is the power of God
To fall fresh once more
To change us and to fill us
With the passion for the Lord.
In our churches, in our homes
It must be God and God alone
Who satisfies our longing for peace
He is all we need.

The search to find contentment

Is never satisfied
In the things this world offers
That will fade away with time

Now more than ever

We must return to our first love
And seek first His kingdom
with our eyes fixed above.

*CHORUS*
All we need is the power of God
To fall fresh once more
To change us and to fill us
With the passion for the Lord.
In our churches, in our homes
It must be God and God alone
Who satisfies our longing for peace
He is all we need.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus,

Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

*CHORUS*
All we need is the power of God
To fall fresh once more
To change us and to fill us
With the passion for the Lord.
In our churches, in our homes
It must be God and God alone
Who satisfies our longing for peace
He is all we need.
He is all we need.

 IT’S NOT IN VAIN
We have labored in the vineyards of the Lord,
and it seems the world has stolen our reward.
But God has not forgotten
And when He call us home
We'll receive eternal treasures
And a place of honor near his throne.

*CHORUS*
It's not in vain
It's not in vain
We serve a risen Savior
Jesus rules and reigns.
The heavens cheer us on
We do not walk alone.
Our labor, our witness, our faith, is not in vain.

God has seen our faithful service through the years,

All our heartaches, all the burdens, all the tears.
So do not be discouraged,
There's a purpose, there's a plan,
There's a reason for each season.
So trust the leading of His hand.

*CHORUS*
It's not in vain
It's not in vain
We serve a risen Savior
Jesus rules and reigns.
The heavens cheer us on
We do not walk alone.
Our labor, our witness, our faith, is not in vain.

It's not in vain

It's not in vain
We serve a risen Savior
Jesus rules and reigns.
The heavens cheer us on
We do not walk alone.
Our labor, our witness, our faith, is not in vain.
Our labor, our witness, our faith, is not in vain.

THE LONGER I SERVE HIM
Since I started for the kingdom,
Since my life He controls;
Since I gave my heart to Jesus,
The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows.

*CHORUS*
The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows;
The more that I love Him more love He bestows.
Each day is like Heaven, my heart overflows.
The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows.

Every need He is supplying,

Plenteous grace He bestows.
Every day my way gets brighter,
The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows.

*CHORUS*
The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows;
The more that I love Him more love He bestows.
Each day is like Heaven, my heart overflows.
The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows.

The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows;

The more that I love Him more love He bestows.
Each day is like Heaven, my heart overflows.
The longer I serve Him the sweeter He grows.

FROM THE CROSS, THROUGH THE
CHURCH, TO THE WORLD
On a hill far away stood and old rugged cross,
Where the Son of God had come to die.
For there was no other way
to pay the price that must be paid
than for Christ to bear our sin and take our place.

On the rock, Jesus Christ,

God established His church
So the gospel of Christ might be proclaimed
He promised power from on high
to guide and keep His church alive,
for the task of bringing others to Him.

*CHORUS*
From the cross, through the church, to the world.
From the cross, through the church, to the world.
There is no other way to reach the dying every day
than from the cross, through the church, to the world.

To this world, dark with sin,

God is calling some men
to bear the gospel of Christ to every land.
At the cross the price was paid.
To the church the plan he gave.
So now declare the love of Christ as God commands.

*CHORUS*
From the cross, through the church, to the world.
From the cross, through the church, to the world.
There is no other way to reach the dying every day
than from the cross, through the church, to the world.

For there is no other way to reach the dying every day

than from the cross, through the church,
from the cross, through the church,
from the cross, through the church, to the world.

 KAILAN PA
Kailan pa ibibigay ang buhay mo’t lakas

AKO'Y BINAGO NIYA
Nung una, ang akala ko
Ang buhay ko'y di na magbabago
At kahit, ano pang gawin
Ako'y bumabalik sa maling gawaiin...
Marami na akong sinubukan
Kung sino-sinong nilapitan
Nang halos Ako ay sumuko na
Si Hesus ay nakilala...

*KORO*
Ang aking Buhay ay binago Niya
Magmula nang ako'y magpasya
Sa aking puso'y pag hariin Siya
Anong himala, Ako'y nag-iba

Kasalanan ko ay pinatawad
Ginawang Anak Niya
Sa langit pupunta
O Kaybuti ng Diyos at ako'y binago Niya

Lumipas ang mga taon

Lalong naging tapat ang Panginoon
Sa aking mga pagkukulang
Siya ang nagtutuwid sa aking daan...
Kung iisipin ko lamang
Sa kahapon ko siya ang kulang
Sa aking mga kailangan
Higit Siya sa sino pa man...

*KORO*
Ang aking Buhay ay binago Niya
Magmula nang ako'y magpasya
Sa aking puso'y pag hariin Siya
Anong himala, Ako'y nag-iba

Kasalanan ko ay pinatawad

Sa langit pupunta
O Kaybuti ng Diyos at ako'y binago Niya
O Kaybuti ng Diyos at ako’t binago Niya

SI HESUS ANG AKING MUSIKA
Ako'y umaawit noon
Ngunit hindi para sa Iyo Panginoon
Pagkat di ko alam kung anong kahulugan
Saki’y man din walang kabuluhan

Ngayon ang musikang hatid

Nagmumula sa puso ko itong awit
Papuri ko sa Iyo
Pagkat tinubos ako.
Kaya't awitin ko'y sa Iyo

*KORO*
Si Jesus ang aking musika
Nagbibigay sigla sa bawat titik at nota
Si Jesus ang aking musika
Sa aking nagsasaad ng bawat awitin
na si Kristo ay buhay sa atin.

Ngayon ang musikang hatid,

Nagbibigay sigla sa bawat titik at nota

Mayron akong sasabihin sa iyo
na ibig sana'y aawitin ko
Ito'y tungkol sa buhay sa mundong ito
ang buhay na ibinigay ng Dios para sa'yo

*KORO*
Sa Kanya may kabuluhan ang iyong buhay
Sa Kanya may pag-asa nabibilang na tunay
Sa Kanya may kaligtasan kung ikaw'y mananampalataya
Sa Kanya may pag-asa, sa Kanya.

Sa umaga't maghapon ikaw'y litong lito

Sa mga pangyayaring naririnig mo
Minsan ikaw'y nagtatanong sa sarili mo
Kung saan patutungo ang buhay sa mundong ito

*KORO*
Sa Kanya may kabuluhan ang iyong buhay
Sa Kanya may pag-asa nabibilang na tunay
Sa Kanya may kaligtasan kung ikaw'y mananampalataya

Upang ikaw'y lalong umasenso
Mayroon kabang madadala sa sarili mo
Sa lahat ng kayamanan at kalayawan sa mundo
