Because He Lives (Performed by Various Artists) (written by Bill Gaithers, Gloria Gaithers)
God sent His son, They called Him Jesus. He came to love, heal and forgive. He lived and died, to buy my pardon. An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow. Because He lives, all fear is gone. Because I know, I know, I know He holds the future. And life is worth the living just because He lives.
How sweet to hold a new born baby, and feel the pride and joy he gives. But greater still is that assurance the child can face uncertain days because He lives.
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow. Because He lives, all fear is gone. Because I know, I know, I know He hold the future. And life is worth the living just because He lives.
And then one day, I'll cross that river. I'll fight life's final war with pain. And then as death gives way to victory. I'll see the light of glory and I'll know that He lives.
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow. Because He lives, all fear is gone. Because I know, I know, I know He hold the future. And life is worth the living just because He lives.
Verse: It's one on one I'm talking, I'm talking (me and you), do you believe I love you and you say, (I know you do).
I'll never leave you lonely, I'll be there, (I know you will). And when you learn to trust me, I'll take you somewhere far away, no need for memories, yesterday's gone.

Destiny by Take 6 Written by David Thomas/Les Pierce Prince of Egypt Soundtrack
Once upon a time in a kingdom far away History tells a story of a prince born of slaves In a time when sorrow filled the air From Pharaoh's death decree His mother gave him to the river To find his destiny
As he grew to manhood In a palace filled with gold He could not endure The thought of slavery in his soul Setting out to take a journey With the truth locked deep within He heard the words of wisdom Floating on the desert wind
Chorus: I'll be with you through the fire Take my hand and part the sea If you trust me I will lead you Lead you to your destiny
Heaven's magic staff Put the power in his hands So he set his people to lead Them to a better land Though troubles seemed to follow And pursue him to the end He found the strength he needed When he heard the words again
Chorus
Don't be deceived This is more than just a story If you believe Heaven awaits you with all it's glory When the odds are stacked against you And you're tempted with dismay Like the prince who heard the calling You can hear Him say...
All it takes is a little bit of water and sunshine To make a big tree grow And every tree was a little bitty seed at one time It just takes time, you know
CHORUS: Patiently, they lay in hope And God provides the rest All we really need Is the faith of a little seed
I never ever saw a bird go hungry Singing in the breeze And the flowers, never was a lady on Sunday Prettier than these
(CHORUS)
BRIDGE: Though Im sown in rocky places There I will abide Taking root in my Lord Jesus Knowing Hell provide
CHORUS: And patiently, I lay in hope And God provides the rest All we really need Is the faith of a little seed
Yesterday I stepped outside and thought of the things I had in life. Can I ever be the person that I want to be and can you ever see the person thats inside of me? Should you try or should you fail? Or does it matter anyway? You wonder why I think God is real. You wonder why I dont push you away. Im not ashamed, so stop trying to pull me away. Do you want to live; do you want to fly with me? Once again, I realized to make it through this live. Ive got to get up when I fail, and with God I will prevail
Remembering so well, the day that I met you You took me in your arms and caused dreams to come true From the fear of what would be You came and rescued me
CHORUS: Lord I pray today for the rest of my life, Live inside my heart please stay for always Till that timeless place when we're face to face And we embrace for always
I look ahead and see the hills that I must climb Some high and some low But if you lead I'll go And at the end I'll see, you were always there with me
break, these chains that bind me take this world inside me, free me. break, these chains that bind me take this world inside me please. and i will follow you forever, and i will break these chains that bind my spirit, he's been calling you forever, you would surrender if you could only hear it. shackled by this hatred, chains beneath your skin, don't you want to be, free again? shackled by this hatred, chains beneath my skin, all i want to be is free again. here i am by your side forevermore.

Lead: You can ask the five thousand, hungry souls he fed, on the banks of the river, with two fish and five loaves of bread, what a miracle, he performed for the multitude, Oh what he did, way back then he'll do today for me and you.

As I let my mind go back I can see the little wooden church Sitting by the railroad tracks Just a little shabby ole place We used to sing Amazing Grace
Talking 'bout a good time Oh yes, a mighty mighty good time
Someone would put up a tent In an open field (you know what else) Folks would come from miles around Going over rocks and rivs Very little money was raised But so many souls were saved Talking 'bout a good time Oh yes, a mighty mighty good time
(You know what, I can see ole Deacon Johnson over in the corner when his soul caught on fire.. y'all can help me sing this)
I love Jesus! I love Jesus! I love Jesus! Yes I do
(And you know what by that time, ole Reverend get in, he'd get up and say church, I don't 'bout y'all this morning but..)
None but the righteous None but the righteous None but the righteous Shall see good
(By then my Big Mama be happy... tears running down her face, she slowly get up and raise her hand and say something like this)
I know I got religion I know I got religion I know I got religion Yes I do!
(We got one more yall here come a momma on the mother's board, she got happy yall and I can hear her say Rev I got something to say!)
Take me to the water Take me to the water Take me to the water To be baptized
Talking 'bout a good time A mighty mighty good time A mighty mighty good time A mighty mighty good time A mighty mighty good time
You know what Just a shabby ole place We used to sing Amazing Grace Talking 'bout a good time Oh yes! A mighty mighty good time!
Pullin' out my big black book, 'Cause when I need a word defined, that's where I look So I turn to the l's quick fast in a hurry Threw on my specs thought my vision was blurry I looked again but to my dismay It was black and white, with no room for gray Ya see a big "V" stood beyond the word and Yo that's when it hit me, that luv is a verb.
Words come easy but don't mean much, When the words they're sayin you can't put trust in, We're talkin' 'bout luv in a different light, And if we all learn to love it will be just right
Hey, tell me haven't you heard, Love is a serious word Hey, I think it's time you learned, I don't care what you say, I don't care what you've heard, The word luv, luv is a verb
Thinkin' of a way to explain-o, 'Cause ya knowin' that I'm flowin' like a bottle of Drain-o Simple and plain L-O-V-E, ain't all that junk that you see on TV Put soaps on a rope 'cause they ain't worth cope'n With it's a myth that there ain't no hope and Luv is enough if it's unconditionally, Given now ya livin' out the Great Commission.
Words come easy but don't mean much, When the words they're sayin you can't put trust in, We're talkin' 'bout luv in a different light, And if we all learn to love it will be just right
Hey, tell me haven't you heard, Love is a serious word Hey, I think it's time you learned, I don't care what you say, I don't care what you've heard, The word luv, luv is a verb
Back in the day there was a man, Who stepped out of heaven and He walked the land He delivered to the people an eternal choice, With a heart full of luv and the truth in His voice Gave up his life so that we may live, How much more luv could the Son of Man give? Here is the example that we oughtta be matchin' 'Cause luv is a word that requires some action

Sitting up here so high above the ground, feeling just a little like I cant be pushed around, Just for a minute feeling invincible. Then Im hit with the principle. Everyday while Im away I here my brothers slipping away Taught by the same teachers who give The lies for you to live. Cant understand whats so hard to comprehend about the words of the father and his loving command. Push back, heart attack, get down, come around, get your fist full of embrace, back to the crown, back stab lies hypocrites that paralyze forthcoming events. Its gonna blow your mind. Get up off your hands get on your feet. Youre sitting up there like you never heard of him its like you're running, running away from him its like you caught up in a dream no reality, nothing is what it seems. Everyday while Im away I hear my brothers slipping away Taught by the same teachers who give the lies for you to live. They taught me about the evolution of man, They say I was a monkey who walked the land Just once I wish they could see where Im coming from, Instead of society being so dumb. Lies for you to live, is where their coming from, lies for you to live, stop playing dumb, Cant understand whats so hard to comprehend about the word of the father and his loving command. Push back, heart attack, get down, come around, get your fist full of embrace, back to the crown, back stab lies hypocrites that paralyze forthcoming events. Its gonna blow your mind. Get up off your hands get on your feet.

Those who know him well, will meet with him in the air, Hallelujah, God is with us...
Prepare to meet thy God is what I say to you. I cant make you believe what I believe is true. All the power and glory of our father. For, I believe there is no other. I will tear off this cover of sin and shame, look to the sky and fall on my knees. Fight for my god above, fight for the god of love, fight hear the spirit sing, fight I hear the spirit calling me. So many faces, just look at his troubles you push him to the ground and his body trembles, you kick him in the face and you mock him, and all he says is father forgive them...
Theres a silent voice that surrounds me. Is it above or is it below me? Its something I cant see or feel, but I know its real. Touch me so I can see your power your, glory. Show me lord my lifes end, and the number of days I live. Youve made my life a mere handbreadth and the number of years is nothing in your hands. A mans life is but a breath I think of all the times Ive let you down and all the times that I should have turned around. Theres so many I could never count them so many times I should have turned from my sin. But I was stubborn and thought I could live with it. I should just swallow my pride and listen...
