THAT'S GRACE

He’s scattered your sins from the east to the west
Establishing you in his righteousness
He’s ended your life of guilt and shame
Now you walk in the power of Jesus name
That’s grace… That’s grace…

You’ve inherited God and His abundant life
Seated beside the eternal Christ
More is given through God’s Ghost in you
It’s a matter of favour, not what you do
That’s grace… That’s grace…
That’s grace… That’s grace…

For we are clothed in immortality!
Sin and death have lost the victory!
For we are clothed in immortality!
We’ll dance! Dance! Dance to eternity!

That’s grace! That’s grace! That’s never-ending grace!
So let’s praise! Let’s praise! Let’s never cease in praise!
That’s grace! That’s grace! That’s never-ending grace!
So let’s praise! Let’s praise! Let’s praise!

You know He’s got you where He wants you!
You know He’s got you where He wants you!
You know He’s got you where He wants you!
You know He’s got you where He wants you!

For we are clothed...
That’s grace!...
You know He’s got…

You’ve set us free! You’ve set us free!
You’ve set us free from the power of sin and death!

That’s grace! That’s grace! That’s never-ending grace!
So let’s praise! Let’s praise! Let’s never cease in praise!
That’s grace! That’s grace! That’s never-ending grace!
So let’s praise! Let’s praise! Let’s praise!

*That’s grace! That’s grace! That’s never-ending grace!
So let’s praise! Let’s praise! Let’s never cease in praise!
That’s grace! That’s grace! That’s never-ending grace!
So let’s praise! Let’s praise! Let’s praise!

*[Sing final chorus with, 'For we are clothed...']

THE FATHERS LIGHT

You see them as the pagan and the sage
Traveling from kingdoms afar
The prophecies they read from ancient page
The son of God revealed by holy star

Oh Pilgrims… Oh Pilgrims…
Bow before the child
Lift Him up to skies of night
And gaze afar to Bethlehem’s star
Give your gifts to the Father’s Light

You see them as the dirty and the poor
Outcasts tending sheep in frozen night
But angels broke the night with holy song
Singing praises in their glorious light

Oh Shepherds… Oh Shepherds…
Bow before the child
Lift Him up to skies of night
And gaze afar to Bethlehem’s star
Hold to heart the Father’s Light

You'd think that He was just a normal child
Asleep within the arms of lonely girl
But the baby ever fearful and fragile
Was the Saviour God of the world

Oh Mary… Oh Mary…
Bow before your child
Lift Him up to skies of night
And gaze afar to Bethlehem’s star
Know you hold the Father’s Light

A night like none before
Was the night that God was born
This child He came for all
Jesus bringing the life on new dawn

And now we…
Bow before the child
Lift Him up to skies of night
And gaze afar to heavenly star
We will behold the Father’s Light

ETERNAL TREASURE


Voice of heaven broke silent night
From newborn child that early morn
God gazed through an infant’s eyes
Saw and beheld a mother’s warmth

The face of heaven is now revealed
Gazing upwards to virgins eyes
Held in arms so tightly sealed
Jesus cried the firstborn’s cry

Do not forget this holy night
That transformed the world of man
The God of Infinite Light
Cradled in a mothers hands
Come see the child and mother
Hold this moment forever
Come see a glory like no other
Virgin with Eternal Treasure

Small hands of God reach to embrace
The girl holding Creation’s King
Hope of Mankind has shown His face
Salvation to nations He brings

Small fingers that would stop fierce storms
Touch the palms of Mary’s hands
The small voice that cries for mothers warmth
Will speak and raise the dead again

Do not forget this holy night
That transformed the world of man
The God of Infinite Light
Cradled in a mothers hands
Come see the child and mother
Hold this moment forever
Come see a glory like no other
Virgin with Eternal Treasure

Feet that would one day walk the seas
Mary with the blankets, bind
Her precious Son’s hands and feet
Will one day be known by mankind

What questions must have Mary thought
What on earth did she feel that night?
With humiliating birth she bought
The King of Nations – The Light of Life

The Father’s in the arms of a virgin mother
Who is holding her Son
She brought to the world the gift of life
Love has come, Hope has come, Faith has come

Thy King has come!

THE SLANDER CLAUS SONG

He’s an icon of wealth, an icon of greed
Giving us things that we don’t need
Santa Claus is coming to town…

Elf demons help him, He flies through the sky
Living upon this great Western Lie:
Santa Claus is coming to town…

He knows when you’re sleeping
Stalks you when you’re awake
He doesn’t care if you’re bad or good
Just be rich for goodness sake!

He’s sold his own soul, responding to cash
Storing our greed in his Santa bag stash
Santa Claus is coming to town…

He’s making a list and checking to see
Kids to spoil in rich families
Santa Claus is coming to town…

He holds your little children
They sit upon his lap
You only see the good of him
Not what goes behind the back

He has a big laugh; he’s got a big grin
Indulging us in our gluttonous sin
Santa Claus is coming to town…

With a corporate fist and his material vice
He lives for those who lives in his lies,
Santa Claus is coming to town…

He makes you so self-centered
Always giving to your needs
He breaks into your house at night
Always looking for a feed

So! You better watch out! You better think twice!
He's never cared about who’s naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town…

Cos he’s checking his list, checking it twice
Who’s caught in his deceptive device?
Santa Claus is coming to town…

He doesn’t care about the hungry
The poor or the oppressed
But he cares that you are feeling good
Like a pig in it’s own mess

So! You better watch out! You better think twice!
He's never cared about who’s naughty or nice
Santa Claus is coming to town…

THUSBLOGGETHTHELORD.COM

One day I was on the web, learning the truths about God
When one day I stumbled upon, a funny looking blog
There were articles on everything, every place and every one
I stumbled across a forbidden site: ThusBloggethTheLord.com

At first I was a lurker, and then I became a troll
My pastor spoke against blogging, (cos he was on there polls)
But OMG! Horror! There were articles on my pastor here!
They said, ‘He’s a prosperity pimp who speaks to itching ears!’

I changed my IP address, ( I was booted for trolling a lot)
And defended my pastor with scripture and his zealous love for God
But they blogged more against him, my words felt all for naught
Then up went a link, I went into shock: my pastor blogs his thoughts!

Now that he blogs, I do too; I’m at ThusBloggethTheLord.com
It’s an unusual feel, it’s quite surreal to know I’m read upon
I think I like the community, but they see the global church a joke
The guy of the site, (thinks he has the right) to every minister and church to poke

I joined with the fray to rightly discuss the issues in the global church world
And argued doctrines and peculiar churches where names and scriptures were hurled
From Osteen to Copeland, Rosebrough and Friel or Bentley vs Andrew Strom
I stayed at home on a forbidden site: ThusBloggethTheLord.com

One year went by, I was changing the world my comments and prophecies flying
We are the new voice to the world of the church, saving those within that are dying
I saw in visions, others saw in dreams, the death of the unrighteous churches
Then the sacred blog was passed to me as the judge and I saw we had thousands of lurkers

It was all for Jesus we were attacked, by the things we published and aired
We were ‘heresy hunters’ and ‘slanderers’ to people who’d no heart to care
Ministries shook their heads in disgust as we publicly had them condemned
Some had the nerve to blog about us and boy, weren’t we heated then!

The stats were amazing! 5k hits a day! We were rising in popularity!
Soon the people will see the invisible voice, can speak on corrupt church authority!
I speak for the damaged upon my blog, this online church marches on
We are the new voice and I’m leading the way on ThusBloggethTheLord.com

I’ve probably blogged about your church too, the ministry frauds they are
The hypocrites that parade up the very front, love to be seen as stars
They probably love the sound of their voices and opinions all the time
That is why blogging’s so powerful: it’s everyone’s voice, not mine

Alone I sit in my room thinking, the world I’ve changed around us
I’m being the light and the salt, halt corruption that surrounds us
I sip my coffee, striking the keys, publishing another church betrayal
This time WE GOT ‘EM for sure and for good for going off the rails!

Sure people get offended by the way I blog, they don’t understand what I say
They just need to grow up in their hearts and heads – follow the blogging way
We are popular beyond all measure, a global blogging phenomenon
If you have a go at us we’ll prove that we’re right at ThusBloggethTheLord.com

LORD OF ALL SEAS

The captain of all fisherman, He came from Galilee
And plundered the kingdom’s of darkness on land
He called up twelve men and He called you and me
And set us to do the works of His hands

He’s causing the battles, He’s causing commotion
He’s raised up His sword against powers that be
His hands have stopped storms, His feet walk the oceans
He’s Captain and Lord of All Seas

Forget the kraken and don’t think Leviathan
They’re caught in His trawls that are plunged into depths
He’s Lord of the fish but is fishing for men
At the judgment He’ll take who He wants from His nets

The cross marks the spot, believe it or not
There you’ll find bounty beyond earthly measure
We’ve passed through the brass sea now riding the glass sea
And carry Lord Captain, our Eternal Treasure
