He is our way of life (He is our way)
He is our way of life (The way, the truth and the life)
He is our way of life (Way of life)
He is our way of life (Oh, Lord Jesus)
He is our way of life (Master)
He is our way of life (Please save me in this way of live)

Without Love
Words and Music by Josh Ray
Lead: Aaron Herman and Brishan Hatcher

Chorus: 
Without love you ain't nothin'
Without love you ain't got a prayer
Without love you ain't gonna make it
Without love you ain't goin' up there

Well love is something special, it's one of a kind
But it seems lately that love is so hard to find
We do a lot of talkin' and make a lotta sound
But the love to back it up ain't nowhere to be found

Chorus:

The world has lots of problems, it's falling apart
It think it all gets back to a matter of the heart
We all got lots of answers, but we're missing the questions
We oughta listen to the bible's suggestions

Chorus

Love can turn your life around
Love will turn the world upside down
Just close your eyes and open your eyes
It won't belong 'til you realize

Chorus

I Don't Know Why
Words and Music by Brishan Hatcher and Keith Lancaster
Lead: Andrew McNeal

Chorus:
I don't know why
I don't know why
I don't know why
I know I don't know why

Such a little boy
Such an innocent soul
Fighting to hold on in life
No way to take control
Why did he suffer?
Tell me what did he do?
I have no answers Lord
But I know that you do

Chorus

Such a short life
Full of pain and agony
No matter how we feel
The questions will always be
Why did he suffer?
It's not for us to know
Only to trust in you dear Lord
And know you're in control

Chorus

I don't know why
Things happen the way that they do
It seems that so many lives
Taken from me and you
But there was one life
Who suffered like no other man
For us to have another chance
It was all part of hid plan

Chorus

The Saints Go Marching
Words and Music by Aaron Herman
Lead: Aaron Herman

Though we may not like it, things here will always change
Circumstances often determine priorities in life's game
I wish that I could be there now but I know this is his will
So give me your support as I go for it all the way
The words goodbye can only offer little consolation still
Though many left behind more good things come when we obey
I'm looking to the day

Chorus 1:
When the saints go marching in (when the saints go)
I will be with you again (when the saints go)
When the saints go marching in (when the saints go)
No more parting no more sin (when the saints go matching)

I know you're hurting inside, this is no easy path to trod
You've got to hold on to your faith my friend and give it all to God
They'll always be there to make you wonder what's all for
But it's worth it and you know that for yourself
Just keep living for the One whom every knee will bow before
This storm will pass don't put him on the shelf
You'll find a world of wealth

Chorus 2:
When the saints go marching in (when the saints go)
On the day all Christians win (when the saints go)
When the saints go marching in (when the saints go)
Eternity of bliss begins (when the saints go matching)

Live on, march strong
Though I know the journey's long
I will love, hope, and share my faith
For souls are all we can bring along anyway

Chorus 3:
When the saints go marching in (when the saints go)
Forevermore to worship him (when the saints go)
When the saints go marching in (when the saints go)
We will then have peace within (when the saints go matching)

The Prodigal
Words and Music by Andrew McNeal
Lead: Andrew McNeal

Chorus:
Heed to what you are told
Wise ones just, just ain't old
Stubborn confused and alone
Heed to what you are told

Repeat

Learn a lesson, the prodigal

There was a strange man in a strange land
Before he left, told his daddy
Give me what I want to have
Want to go out on my own
Yes, the boy thought he's grown
But he was wrong
Wasted his substance on riotous living
Peddlers, merchants all made a killing
From the youngsta
Paraphrasing want to be a gangsta
People were not kind
He ate with the swine
Then he came to himself
Said I'm losing my mind
I don't deserve this
I can be a hired servant
Dismiss, dismiss, dismiss this

Chorus

There in the distance walking with persistence
Stood a man threw his pride off in the sand
I have sinned against thee
Father, please forgive me
Restore my soul
And once again make me whole
I only wish that
We could learn this one fact
Father didn't turn his back
Dressed him with the fattest calf
Slipped him on a shiny ring
Fitted with the cleanest robe
Took him home, took him home

Chorus

What about me Father?
I've been here all the time
You gave him all of this
And now you're even givin' him mine
Listen son, you've been there
What's mine is thine
Your brother was lost, dead, found
Now he's alive

Chorus

Where Do You Run To?
Words and Music by Kevin Schaffer
Lead: Brishan Hatcher

Where do you run to
When you need a friend until the end
Where do you run to
You know he's always there, you're in his care
Jesus

You carry problems you know are hard to bear
And think that burdens are something you don't share
Kept the secret so long that now you're scared
To let go of your heart
It happened long ago in the youth of life
But still you try to hide the hurt that's deep inside
You're looking for a way to let go of pride
Now your search is on, where to begin?

Chorus

Your friends have gone now that you have changed your life
She left a father, a son, and he, his wife
You've turned from darkness so you can reach the light
You gave Jesus your heart
He gives you comfort when you are all alone 
He carries burdens so you can bear the load
When heaven opens you'll know that you are home
Now you're in his care, you've always been there

Chorus


All this time I've been runnin'
After things of this world
I've been running so fast
I've lost sight of the goal
My only goal is the one that leads to you


You carry me when I can't run anymore
I can tell by the foot prints in the sand
You've always been there
And on you I can rely
You're always there and I know you understand

Chorus 2x

All For The Good
Words and Music by Aaron Herman
Lead: Aaron Herman

Sometimes you misunderstand me
Yes, I feel misunderstood
You think that I'm not doing things
Quite the way I should
Please know I'm only trying to do 
What's right for my Father up above
I'm glad to have you smoothing my rough edges
But please do it out of love

Chorus:
Because it's all for the good
Yes it's all for the good
You know it's all

I'd take a Bible in the classroom to show you I'm a Jesus freak
My only goal's to share the good news 
With anyone who seeks
You hit me hard to try and stop me
Then turn to kiss the other cheek
I don't see how you could think
That I'm the one who's weak

Chorus:
But it's all for the good
Yes it's all for the good
I know it's all

I know the day is coming
When all will be at peace
The lion will lay with the lamb
And colors then will cease
Until that day with God's help
We've got to make all the peace we can
Though tribulation's bound to come
It's all part of his plan

The Ones
Words and Music by Aaron Herman
Lead:

If Jesus would not have come when he did 
But was born to be alive here today instead
We might be surprised by the way he would live
And the people he would heal and forgive

I hypothesize he would be a homeless man
Roaming around seemingly no plan
He would show up at your temple while your rabbi preached
Crack his Fathers word and start to teach
His words would amaze and thoroughly craze
His wisdom kickin', law teachers in a rage
Cause he'd expose the grave error of their ways
And all of that before he turned the page

Chorus 1:
Would we be the ones, the Pharisees of modern day
Proclaiming "the Messiah would not live that way"
Would we be the ones to threaten Him
When He claimed to have the power to forgive sin
Would we be the ones to shout "let him die"
As fellow legalists stoned Him with their picket signs
Or would we give up all, to love and follow Him

If Jesus would not have come when he did
But was born to be alive here today instead
We might be surprised by the way he would live
And the people he would heal and forgive

I firmly believe he'd love people of shame
Healing their lives as they believed on his name
Prostitutes, drug lords, all people who are unclean
And if you asked him why then he'd say "what do you mean"
"The well don't need a doctor but the sick do"
The he'd extend the invitation to you
"Forget your life and follow if you believe I am the King Jew,
I'll save you if you give of yourself to share the good news"

Chorus 2:
Would we be the ones the disciples of modern day
Proclaiming "the Messiah's come please change your ways"
Would we be the ones to live with him
As we claim his promise of forgiven sin
Would we be the ones to witness his death
Crushed, yet filled with hope by the words that used his last breath
And would we let him down, and willingly deny him

Okay, Jesus really did come when he did
But he's alive today at his Church's head
Is he pleased by the way we live
And the loyalty we're willing to give

Chorus 3:
Are we the ones, the Pharisees of modern day
Enforcing on all but us what we see as "the Christian way"
Are we the ones who live for him
Or are we willfully swaying in the winds of sin
Are we the ones who are willing to die
To let the Lord have full reign in our lives
Oh will we give our all, surrendering to him

Silent Screams
Words by Brishan Hatcher - Music by Brishan Hatcher and Steve Reischl
Lead: Brishan Hatcher

Lost in a room full of unfamiliar things
Blindly struggling to find some relief
Bound and gagged by circumstance
How will anyone hear my screams?

Chorus:
Silent screams, they echo in my darkness
Seeking, yearning for an answer to this fight
Broken dreams and broken hearts
Tainted ways right from the start

Alone if not for the painful reminder
All the failures that I've felt in this life
They crowed my mind like a hurricane
My soul drowns by the force of its reigns

Chorus 2:
Silent screams, they echo in my darkness
Seeking, yearning, will I ever win this fight
Broken dreams and broken hearts
Tainted ways right from the start

Everyone is searching forever
For a brighter day, yeah
Always looking for a better answer
Never finding their way


Oppressed by feeling that I have remorse
My quest for guidance has only began
Soundless, my screams they echo all around me
Being heard by only perfect years

Chorus 3:
Silent screams, they echo in my darkness
My search is over, you're the answer to this fight
Mended dreams and mended hearts
Now I have you in my heart

Repeat Chorus

I've Found Him
Words by Keith Lancaster, Josh Ray and Gary Miller
Music by Keith Lancaster and Gary Miller
Lead: Brishan Hatcher

Chorus:
I've found him, I've found Jesus
I've found him, and my heart he has won
I've found him, I've found Jesus
I'm born again - my life has just begun

Endlessly arriving at unhappiness
Just getting by existence day to day
It broke my heart to realize the emptiness
And the brightness of your dreams for me had faded into gray

Chorus

Hopeless, called for help to Jesus
I needed someone to turn my night to day
He took my hand and showed me his forgiveness
I fell down on my knees from my heart I boldly prayed

Chorus

I'm ending all my masquerades
Rejecting all my lies and hates
Forever I'm your Jesus

I'm starting to appreciate
You endless love your perfect grace
Forever I'm yours
I've found him!

Chorus

I Attribute
Words and Music by Aaron Herman
Lead: Aaron Herman

Thoughts of adoration as your past enters my mind
Things mankind did not deserve, you did in perfect time
A thing of the sweetness of your love no one has yet to taste
Tears stream down mine as I try to seek your face

Come to me make yourself real
Securing my heart as your throne
I know you planned for this day
Since before you laid the first stone
What can I do to be worthy
I just admit I'll never be
Let your blood wash over
Until my blind eyes see

Chorus:
In this world there is only one freedom
In this world there is only one life
In my heart there is only one hero
I attribute everything to Jesus Christ

What is a life not lived for you
But a vain friendship with emptiness
This path I daily choose is proving to be best
I'll give anything to be like you
While finding what that takes
Rising above to live on wings of hope and faith

Chorus

Since I know that you are Freedom
I make myself a slave to you
And because you are Life
To myself will die
For your gift you become my Hero
Lord teach me to give like you
You must see me as worth it
But I will always wonder why

Chorus x2
