Nobody stood and applauded them
So they knew from the start This road would not lead to fame All they really knew for sure was Jesus had called to them He said "Come follow me" and they came With reckless abandon they came Empty nets lying there at the waters edge Told a story that few could believe and none could explain How some crazy fishermen agreed to go where Jesus lead With no thought for what they would gain For Jesus had called them by name and they answered CHORUS We will abandon it all for the sake of the call No other reason at all but the sake of the call Wholly devoted to live and to die For the sake of the call Drawn like the rivers are drawn to the sea No turning back for the water cannot help but flow Once we hear the Savior's call we'll follow wherever he leads Because of the love He has shown And because he has called us to go we will answer We will abandon it all for the sake of the call No other reason at all but the sake of the call Wholly devoted to live and to die BRIDGE Not for the sake of a creed or a cause Not for a dream or a promise Simply because it is Jesus who calls And if we believe we'll obey CHORUS |

Anybody in their right mind
Would've given up their preaching and headed for home They've been warned a hundred times But something inside them keeps giving them hope And just when you think they'd be crying Instead of the tears, there's joy in their eyes CHORUS 1 What kind of joy is this That counts it a blessing to suffer What kind of joy is this That gives the prisoner his song What kind of joy could stare death in the face And see it as sweet victory This is the joy of a soul that's forgiven and free Anybody else with his pain Would want to shake their fist at heaven And give up the fight 'Cause trouble had been Paul's middle name Ever since he'd been captured by God's blinding light But just when his hope should be dying If you listen you'll hear him singing a song CHORUS 1 CHORUS 2 What kind of joy is this The Father has promised his children What kind of joy is this That Jesus has come to reveal What kind of joy could give hope in this world To someone just like you and me This is the joy of a soul that's forgiven and free I've found this joy for my soul is forgiven and free |

I know a man named Billy
He's got almost everything Three stories, two cars, one swimming pool And some broken parts of an empty heart And I'm thinkin'... CHORUS 1 Billy, Billy, Billy, you're a very busy man But you're running with your eyes closed You could be missing life all along the way And you'd never even know it You're a busy man Billy, Billy, you're a busy man Just too busy man You've got a lot of nice things there Billy But they've cost you more than you know 'Cause what is it really worth can you tell me If you're gaining the world but you're losing your soul And I'm thinkin'... CHORUS 2 Billy, Billy, Billy, you're a very busy man But you're running with your eyes closed Looks like you traded life for the things you have Not the thing you really wanted You're a busy man Billy, Billy, you're a busy man BRIDGE So when the day is over And the lights go out Do you ever stop and wonder Wonder what it's all about Wonder what it's all about Wonder what it's all about Hey Billy do you ever wonder What it's all about? CHORUS 1 FADE Slow down busy man take a look around you When it's all said and done tell me what's it gonna come to |

I wake to the sound of different voices calling my name
Two little ones who want to start another day And one voice that's calling Take up your cross and come follow me CHORUS I want to get lost In the shadow of the cross To answer the call surrender it all In the shadow I want to live each (this) day With a humble heart That's ready to pay Whatever it cost, to find myself lost In the shadow of the cross Living beneath the burden of this cross I carry I'm finding more of Christ and losing more of me So I'll hide in His shadow Until I am nothing and He is everything CHORUS The voices that call to me like my little ones are sleeping But here in the shadow there's one whisper I still hear CHORUS |

If I could only fly, I'd go up and look down from the sky
So I could see the bigger picture And Lord if I could sit with you at your feet for an hour or two I'm sure I'd ask too many questions 'cause there's so much going on down here That I must confess I just don't understand, I don't understand And I have prayed, that at your feet my whole life has been laid So I won't worry I won't be afraid Cause My soul is resting on your higher ways So let the road ahead become unclear For I am yours so what have I to fear If my soul is resting on your higher ways Your higher ways teach me to trust you Your higher ways are not like mine Your higher ways are the ways of a father hiding his children in his love So let it rain and if my eyes grow dim with tears of pain This hope I have will not be washed away Because this soul of mine is resting on your higher ways Your higher ways teach me to trust you Your higher ways are not like mine Your higher ways are the ways of a father hiding his children in his love Someday I will fly and maybe then you will take me aside and show me the bigger picture But until I'm with you I'll be here with a heart that is true and a soul that's resting on your higher ways Your higher ways Resting on your higher ways |

There's a teacher in a school room
Somewhere on the edge of town Telling innocent little children what we used to be They look and listen without a question They see the pictures passed around Making facts out of a theory and they all believe As the lost lead the way Another heart is led astray CHORUS These are the days when the blind lead the blind And there's one narrow way out of here So pray that the light of the world will keep your eyes clear 'Cause it's a dangerous place here where the blind lead the blind There's a preacher in a nice church Anchored in the heart of town People flock to hear his eloquent delivery He talks of Jesus how he can please us But the cross cannot be found Makin' theory out of facts until they're all deceived And the lost lead the way And more hearts are led astray CHORUS This is a dangerous time And the truth is hard to find So let His word light your way And guard every step you take CHORUS |

I saw you staring out your window
Watchin' the people passing by Taking some notes on what you saw out there So you would know how hard you need to try I heard you asking lots of questions How in comparison you stand Please let me warn you to be very careful God wants our best and not our better than CHORUS But you know better, better than that You know better than, better than that You should know better, truth is the only measure You know better than, better than that Now just in case I've got you thinkin' And if you're feeling like I do Maybe it's time we open up the Holy Bible And see exactly what He's called us to He said the least would be the greatest The greatest is the one who serves We must be living by a different standard A life that isn't graded on a curve CHORUS |

When you are a soldier I will be your shield
I will go with you into the battlefield And when the arrows start to fly Take my hand and hold on tight I will be your shield, 'cause I know how it feels When you are a soldier When you're tired from running I will cheer you on Look beside you and you'll see you're not alone And when your strength is all but gone I'll carry you until you're strong And I will be your shield 'cause I know how it feels When you're a soldier BRIDGE I will be the one you can cry your songs to My eyes will share your tears And I'll be your friend if you win Or if you're defeated Whenever you need me I will be here When you're lost in darkness I will hold the light I will help you find your way through the night I'll remind you of the truth And keep the flame alive in you And I will be your shield 'Cause I know how it feels When you are a soldier |

I was eight years old
When I decided to follow Jesus, yeah I started down that road Somebody told me that this path that leads to Heaven Will not be the easy way Well I found that to be true But I also found, (also found) I found out there's Chorus: No better place on earth Than the road that leads to heaven No other place I'd rather be, yeheh No better place on earth Than the road that leads to heaven No better place to be, yea Well I know this road Has a final destination, oh But I also know That if we're only looking for the prize that's waiting We'll miss so much along the way Cause Jesus came to give us life in the here and now (here and now) And to show us that there's Chorus: No better place on earth Than the road that leads to heaven No other place I'd rather be, yeheh No better place on earth Than the road that leads to heaven No better place to be I know this path we travel along Is very straight and narrow But I've looked down other roads along the way And from all I've seen I can say without a doubt there's Chorus Chorus Chorus |

Sweet are the branches growing the fruit that comes from the vine
But these are just branches blown by the wind holding on to life I want to be like them holding on to the One whose life is mine And I know as I follow him His life will sure show in me CHORUS He said you will Show yourselves to be the ones who follow Me By the evidence you leave along the way They'll know that you are mine like the branches on the vine If you show yourselves to be following me Faith joins our heats to Him, it's not a result of anything we do But if we are part of Him, there will be reasons to believe it's true The fruit cannot help but grow if the branch is joined into the tree And love cannot help but show in the one who goes where Jesus leads CHORUS BRIDGE Planted in the fertile soil of quiet times Watered by the rains of trouble, growing toward the sun that shines They'll know that you are Mine like the branches on the vine If you show yourselves to be following Me |
