(Logos Rising)
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Hallelujah, He is Lord. Hallelujah, He is Lord.
(In the beginning there was the Word)
(Light of Light, King of Kings, Lord of Lords)
He's got you in His hand.
The Lord, Creator of it all.
He loves you. He loves you. He loves you.
II) The Lord's Prayer
O Lord our God who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be thy name,
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done,
On Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us all our sins
As we forgive those who harmed us.
Lead us not (not),
Lead us not into temptation,
Lead us not (not) into the arms of sin,
But deliver us from the evil
that planted the seed of sin in man.
He intended our corruption,
But redemption was all part of Your plan
Through your son (Jesus).
My Lord Jesus, I pray for your anointing
Help me write my songs
Let them glorify you Lord
Be messengers that You’re the Truth
And carry the Gospel to the world, for you.
(Repeat Lord's Prayer)
So punish the wicked
And right the wrongs
And take the power that to You belongs
And write the world, and make it Yours
And take my heart, and make it soft
But help me carry every cross.
The power you put into me
I use for good, let devils see!
You are the Lord! You are the Lord!
For Yours is the power, the Kingdom,
the Glory (Forever and ever!
Yours is the power!
Yours is the power, Jesus you're the Lord of all!)
Lord of all! He owns the world!
III) The Gospel of James
Yeah yeah yeah sing it to me one more time,
I need you, you you you you!
Lord you know we need you
No-one else, no-one else is our King and Lord.
Show us where to find ya, show us where to find ya!
Jesus! Come on help me find you!
(You, Jesus, and no-one else!)
Find you in my heart.
(You are the Lord of our souls!)
Find you out in nature.
(Find you anywhere I'm looking)
Or in that man who helped you when
you broke down your car at the intersection
& he said 'Jesus loves you',
(Find you) in my brother's soul!
I feel the Logos
In the peace of Western civilisation
(In the peace of Western civilisation)
But you feel it crumbling! (Crumblin'!)
Crumblin’, crumblin’, crumblin’, crumblin’, crumblin’,
Under the might of the enemy
(Enemy, who's that?) Satan!
(Satan, Devil, Satan, Devil)
But I know he got nothing on you,
Nothing on you Lord.
He got nothing on you Jesus, he got nothing on you Jesus! He’s just a spoilt little boy! (Spoilt little boy!)
And he’s a liar (Liar!)
He’s a dirty little cheat (Cheat!)
And he’s a scoundrel (Scoundrel, weak!)
And he’s weak!
Yeah he’s weak, weak! (WEAK!)
I laugh in the face of the devil (Laughin' takes his power) For the Lord’s in my heart (Jesus in my heart)
Got the anointing of Jesus (Jesus)
He’s my brother, He’s my saviour, He’s my Lord, He’s my friend, He’s my redeemer (He's my redeemer!), And he could be yours too!
(Call His name, Jesus!)
So what you wanna do?
(Call His name, Jesus!)
Come on and listen to my choir!
(Call His name, Jesus!)
As they sing it for you
(Call His name)
Jesus is the King and the Lord,
We’re singing praise to Jesus, Amen.
