Judas' Kiss (from More Power to Ya)
Words and music by Bob Hartman
Based on Luke 22:47-48
I wonder how it makes You feel when the prodigal won't come home
I wonder how it makes You feel when he'd rather be on his own
I wonder what it's like for You when a lamb has gone astray
I wonder what it's like for You when Your children disobey
It must be like another thorn stuck in Your brow
It must be like another close friend's broken vow
It must be like another nail right through Your wrist
It must be just like
Just like Judas' kiss
I wonder how it makes You feel when no one seeks Your face
I wonder how it makes You feel when they give up in the race
I wonder what it's like for You when they willingly disobey
I wonder what it's like for You when they willingly walk away

The Coloring Song (from Never Say Die)
Words and music by Dave Eden
Red is the color of the blood that flowed
Down the face of Someone who loved us so
He's the Perfect Man, He's the Lord's own Son
He's the Lamb of God, He's the only One
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can make the love between us flow
Blue is the color of a heart so cold
That will not bend when the story's told
Of the love of God for a sinful race
Of the blood that flowed down Jesus' face
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can keep our hearts from growing cold
Gold is the color of the morning sun
That shines so freely on everyone
It's the sun above that keeps us warm
It's the Son of Love that calms the storm
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can turn our mornings into gold
Brown is the color of the autumn leaves
When the winter comes to the barren trees
There is birth, there is death, there is a plan
And there's just one God and there's just one Man
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can make our sins as white as snow
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can turn our mornings into gold
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can keep our hearts from growing cold
That can give us life, that can make us grow
That can make the love between us flow

Dance (from Unseen Power)
Words by Bob Hartman
Music by John Elefante
Based on 2 Thessalonians 2:15, 2 Timothy 3:14, Philippians 1:6
I've been to the party and I left alone
And I've danced with a few that I'd be better off on my own
I've been to the altar and I know I kneeled
But I ended up dancing in the grass of another field
Yeah
Then someone told me I heard someone say
Dance with the One who brung ya
Dance with the One you know who got you there
Dance with the One who brung ya
Don't change hats, you know it's the one you wear
My feet start moving down inside my shoes
But I don't want to settle for the beat of a lonely blues
And there's no use dancin' to a different drum
When I've seen what happens and I know what will become
Yeah
I can testify it's never worth a try
I looked high, I looked low
You're never gonna find someone who loves you so
Stand tall, stand strong
You're only gonna see you're right where you belong
Don't try to fix what has never been broke

Beyond Belief (from Beyond Belief)
Words and music by Bob Hartman
Based on Hebrews 6:1a, Romans 1:17, Philippians 1:6
We're content to pitch our tent
When the glory's evident
Seldom do we know the glory came and went
Moving can seem dangerous
In this stranger's pilgrimage
Knowing that you can't stand still, you cross the bridge
There's a higher place to go
Beyond belief, beyond belief
Where we reach the next plateau
Beyond belief, beyond belief
And from faith to faith we grow
Towards the center of the flow
Where He beckons us to go
Beyond belief, beyond belief
Leap of faith without a net
Makes us want to hedge our bet
Waters never part until our feet get wet
There's a deeper place to go
Where the road seems hard to hoe
He who has begun this work won't let it go
And it takes so long to see the change
But we look around and it seems so strange
We have come so far but the journey's long
And we once were weak but now we're strong

The Longing
Words and music by Joel Hanson and Tony Wood
In each heart there is a longing
In each soul a desperate cry
To know if life has some true meaning
Or do we simply live and die?
Earthly pleasures and possessions
Leave the sinking spirit dry
In each heart there is a longing
Only Jesus satisfies
In each life there comes the question
"Is there more than meets the eye?"
And "What will we see of the eternal
When the well of days runs dry?"
So we search with so few finding
The difference between truth and lies
While in each heart there is a longing
Only Jesus satisfies
Mystery on a hillside
The purest love expressed
Guilty lips cried "Forgive me!"
In that moment I found rest
So we search with so few finding
The difference between truth and lies
While in each heart there is a longing
Only Jesus satisfies

He Came, He Saw, He Conquered (from This Means War!)
Words by Bob Hartman
Music by Bob Hartman & John Elefante
Based on Genesis 3:15, Matthew 28:6, John 20:19, Revelation 6:2
He came alone into the battle
He knew nobody else could face His foe
He left His throne, He left His glory
He knew nobody else could ever go
He called the bluff, He took the challenge
He came into this world to seek and save
No one could know, no one could fathom
The way to win was only through the grave
They laid Him in His tomb
They thought they'd sealed His doom
But He rose
He rose
He came, He saw, He conquered death and hell
He came, He saw, He is alive and well
He was, He is, and only He forgives
He died, He rose, He lives
He came, He saw, He conquered
The doors were locked, they heard Him knocking
They were afraid they would be taken, too
Familiar voice said "Come and follow"
Come and see the things the Lord can do
They went to where He lay
The stone was rolled away
He rose
He rose
He came into this world
He saw humanity
He heard the SOS
He met the enemy
The enemy was conquered
The enemy was conquered

Beat the System (from Beat the System)
Words and music by Bob Hartman
Based on Romans 8:37, Mark 10:31, Matthew 10:39
Caught in the undertow being swept downstream
Going against the flow seems like such a dream
Trying to hold ground when you start to slide
Pressure to compromise comes from every side
Wise up, rise up
Wise up, rise up
You can be more than a conqueror, you will never face defeat
You can dare to win by losing all, you can face the heat - dare to
Beat the system
Face the heat – dare to
Beat the system
On the assembly line trying to break the mold
Time to throw the wrench that will stop it cold
Going against the odds being the underdog
Dare to wield the sword that will slice the fog
Wise up, rise up
Wise up, rise up
You can go for it all
You can go for broke
You can turn the tide around
You can aim for the top
And take the lion's share
If you dare to hold your ground
Beat the system

This Means War! (from This Means War!)
Words and music by Bob Hartman
Based on Romans 16:20, Isaiah 14:12-15
Son of the morning – highest of all
You had so much going 'til you took the fall
Had a place in the glory but you wanted it all
Impossible odds but you had the gall
It seemed so unlikely that you would rebel
Such a worthy opponent that you knew so well
But you went down fighting when you heard the bell
Took a third of all heaven when you went to hell
This means war – and the battle's still raging
War – and though both sides are waging
The Victor is sure and the victory's secure
But 'til judgment we all must endure
This means war
Then came the cross – you thought you had won
You thought you had conquered God's only Son
"So much for Jesus" you said in jest
Then you got a visit from an unwelcome guest
Now it's all over down to the wire
Counting the days to your own lake of fire
But you'll go down fighting for all that you're worth
To try to abolish His image on earth

Breathe In
Words and music by Pete Orta
When the rain was coming down on my face
Your love was the sun that I embraced
All the things in my heart for so long
Need to fall in the sea of forever gone
When there's days I could really fall in
It's in the dark you may see your only friend
So visit me in my castle of sand
Fill the walls with Your presence once again
You can hear me and I can feel You when
I close my eyes and I dream
Of the day You'll come for me
I close my eyes and I dream
But until the day
I need Your love to set me free
I want You to
Breathe into me
Living life is what I want out of me
To capture love and then to set it free
So give me wings and I'm out of here
To set in flight all the things You made so clear
I've walked the line
Between love and fear
And took the time
To know life is sheer
Take me with You
It moves too fast
Oh, this world I'm in
To face the past
Lets me rest again
I'll take You with me

Creed (from Beyond Belief)
Words and music by Bob Hartman
Based on the Apostle's Creed
I believe in God the Father – maker of heaven and earth
And in Jesus Christ His only Son, I believe in the virgin birth
I believe in the Man of Sorrows bruised for iniquities
I believe in the Lamb who was crucified and hung between two thieves
I believe in the ressurection on the third and glorious day
And I believe in the empty tomb and the stone that the angel rolled away
He descended and set the captives free
And now He sits at God's right hand and prepares a place for me
This is my creed – the witness I have heard
The faith that has endured
This truth is assured
Through the darkest ages past
Though persecuted, it will last
And I will hold steadfast to this creed
I believe He sent His Spirit to comfort and to reveal
To lead us into truth and light, to baptize and to seal
I believe that He will come back the way He went away
And receive us all unto Himself, but no man knows that day
I believe He is the judge of all men, small and great
The ressurected souls of men receive from Him their fate
Some to death and some to life, some to their reward
Some to sing eternal praise forever to our Lord

Praying Man (from Wake-Up Call)
Words by John Lawry
Music by John Lawry and Jim Cooper
Based on James 5:16b
Noah saw the coming of the flood
(He built an ark upon dry land)
When Moses prayed, God parted the Red Sea
(In faith, he made his stand)
And David dropped the giant to his knees
(Empowered by a stronger hand)
God changed the course of history
(See the power of the praying man)
Faith lives in folded hands
Mountains move when you make a stand
It's never been a case of sleight of hand
It's the power, oh, the power of the praying man
Whoa, I see the power of the praying man
Whoa, I see the power of the praying man
Jesus turned the water into wine
(No tricks, no magicians)
He rules the earth, the wind, the sky
(They obey His decision)
He knew that
Prayer is alive and well today
(It's a matter of dedication)
Prayer works when you take the time to pray
(It's a matter of true devotion)
You'll see that

Just Reach Out (from Wake-Up Call)
Words and music by John Schlitt and Rich Gootee
Based on Psalm 34:17-18, Romans 10:9-13
Sometimes the night seems to go on for days
When it's hard to see the light through the darkness and haze
While the world around you makes you feel out of place
And the burdens that you carry are just too hard to face
Just reach out and He'll reach in
Take your broken heart and make it whole again
It don't matter who you are or where you've been
Just reach out and He'll reach in
Standing in a crowd but still all alone
Crying out for answers that nobody knows
Everybody's busy looking out for themselves
Is there anyone who really cares about anyone else?
You say you've walked ten thousand steps away
But don't you know that it's only one step back
Because the one who hears you when you pray
Is the one who's there beside you
And He'll never walk away
