Trumpet Call 06:05
Cross the snow white Cross the Bible pages open From the word upon the cross Do you hear the trumpet call? - and can you bear it? From the heart of a cold cell Deep in Russia Can you hear the man in chains Proclaim Him for us all - will you be near him? One of the things you get with the Holy Spirit is trouble Praise the Lord and ask for more I'd rather serve the Lord than make friends with the devil And that's one thing I know for sure Many prophets have arisen false and greedy Bringing miracles and signs that to say that God is dead - well don't believe them! Jesus Christ the King of Kings is in His glory He alone permits the strength To do any thing at all - and it's Him who told us One of the things you get with the Holy Spirit is trouble Praise the Lord for these hard days When all the pride of this world Has long since turned to rubble You'll be in heaven singing praise - hey Valeri! When the end comes as it must signs in the heavens Will it find you out of oil or brimming overflow - will you be ready? Russian snow and the greenback dollar melted Face to face no-one will doubt But every knee shall bow - and then the judgement- And - One of the things you get with the Holy Spirit is trouble And that's something you've got to face But don't be scared, remember Jesus went before us Because he loves us took our place - and now He says Go!!!

Rest Assured 04:17
Try me in the fire and melt me down Test me as you will Re-design my life to be the mould You want me to fill Chorus In you I have a complete confidence I've never known before In you I have a complete confidence In you I rest assured Break me if it's right to save my life You know what is best Give me what you know I need to serve Take away the rest Chorus Make a roaring flame of my desire To be in your employ Here into your hands I place my life My sorrow and my joy Chorus
3.
New 04:11
How many people like you are there On any station platform anytime, anytown, anywhere? Sleeping bag at your feet like a sleeping pet Who it's cool to treat casually Hey-ho so away you go for a new life Down London way or somewhere similar When all you really want to leave behind Is that old-you shadow - you want to be brand-new How many rooms like this are there In any road full of tenement/high rise/terraced house anywhere? Trying out the dream which wears the brightest clothes Shoving heartaches up your nose Hey-ho did you lay it low By sucking all the poison in its flesh? When all you really wanted to lose Was this sense of emptiness - you want to be brand-new How many stubborn hearts must there be On every twist and turn of the bank Of the river of history Who worship with the mouth But still ignore the source - who will crucify the truth? Hey-ho so away you go just killing all the prophets That you meet along the way All because you will not stand up Face the truth and say you want to be brand-new
4.
Cry Out 04:40
Do you ever wonder what the meaning is in your life Do you ever think that you would like to change? Chorus Cry out to Jesus cry out in pain - and you'll find He'll hear he longs to be near you He wants to give you eternal life Don't be frightened and don't just lie down and die When there's no need to instead of sinking you can fly Chorus If you need to find a friend that you can trust Why set you sights low? Put them on certainty or bust! Chorus
5.
His Love 04:25
His love is a shield for the hopeless His love is a seed in the soil All of His love He will give you If you will learn to receive His love is worth far more than money His love is worth suffering and joy All of His love can live in you If you will only believe His love is a light on a tall stand His love is a shade in the heat His love is the gift of a clean heart His love drown the bitter with the sweet - His love All of the pain you will pass through The lies you will see bought and sold Will never destroy His love in you The Spirit of life that the grave cannot hold His love is a strong place to stand on His love causes blindness to see His love it is pure it is holy His love is forgiving and free - I'm grateful for His love So grateful for His love Undeserved for me
6.
Too Modern 05:01
Tell me Jesus baby don't you think you came too soon When you got to tell somebody who can walk on the moon? We got miracles these days we made with our own hands We got thermo-nuclear war we got rubber bands Chorus You can't fool me I'm far too modern You can't fool me I'm far too cool You can't fool me I'm far too modern You can't fool me I'm already a fool Get yourself down Saatchi Saatchi get some good advice First you throw away the cross it isn't very nice Maybe get yourself a pretty trendy pair of horns Get a funky-punky hairstyle ditch the crown of thorns Chorus Come on Jesus baby come on now admit the scam Nobody gets out the coffin no nobody can Though it would be nice 'n' it's a crying shame Still at least it proves all religions are the same - Now get back in your tomb! Chorus

Once there were two men -thought the storm might break decided on buildings to which they could take 'Till things had dried out after the storm The first man started preparing for the shock He knew that the rain was going to be heavy He build his house on rock The other man on the other hand Thought he knew better than the architect He built his house on sand - Which one is going to be there after the storm? I see a great city on impressive scale And in that city everything's for sale But that proud city is bound to fall Silly silly silly city built itself on shale It will be in ruins after the storm I see another city sacrificial love It's a beautiful city built from above Solid rock foundations the cross of Christ No other city anywhere anytime Has been more highly priced - But it will be standing long after the storm It will be standing strong after the storm Storm clouds gathering over sand and rock Time for considering time to take stock Time to hear Jesus time to hear him calling The sand is running out fast and the rain is falling
8.
Certainly 05:51
You ask me some searching questions Yes certainly you do Make me question my intentions And certainly that's true But you hand is never random And your moves are sweet to see All your love for me Footsore I've been weary Uncertain and unsure Yet in each of the darkest places You have been before I have found that all your footsteps Have fallen where my own should be All your love for me You carried my burden To the cross-roads heart What some may see as failure You turned into a start It has not held you You are beyond it You left it empty a sign to call All your love for me

Willy Welsh 08:10
I'd like to wish you well I'd like to wish you happiness I'd like to wish you peace Of the everlasting kind I'd like to wish you love Rich and deep and plentiful I wish you all the joy Of a free and quiet mind I'd like to wish you hope To see beyond the storm clouds I'd like to wish you faith A faith that you can share I'd like to wish you health Courage and compassion I wish you all the vision Of a heart equipped to care I'd like to wish you friends Who love you as they find you I wish you sense to seek Forgiveness that is true I wish you endless strength To learn to love your enemies For what you hate in them Has all been found in you I'd like to wish you patience Endurance and humility To hold to what is good Amongst the lies that tease us I'd like to wish you life A safe home for eternity In short I wish you all That you could find in Jesus
