holy... holy... holy... i bow down and i seek your face knowing you'll answer, you're full of grace mercy you showed me and love every day and i know i won't walk any other way oh my god i belong to you oh my god i will stay with you oh my god you are all i need your presence is all i seek and forevermore shall i dwell in your light always right at your side oh god i seek to see your church right here as was meant to be the blind ones see the sick bein' healed the dead risen and the gifts of your spirit right on the streets the gospel preached and love that everyone can see oh god help us to believe
2.
there is a darkness i can almost touch it and i don't want it god i'll fight it in your name hey holy spirit soak me through and through every breath i take shall be filled by you i refuse the night i refuse the devils light it's misleading it is blinding it is murderous, it is binding i refuse his ways i refuse all that he says it's confusing it is poison it's a sickness it's a prison demons depart in the name of christ you got no power cause he owns my life hey jesus jesus i keep my eyes on you your name is so powerful nothing they can do I refuse the night... ...it's a prison - cell it is hell it is hell but i am protected by christ in him nothing can harm my life
3.
i take a look around with open eyes all i see is a wickedness that i despise and i know i'm part of it doin' wrong each day i wish i could spread my arms and simply fly way i see people filled with grief depression and sorrow frustrated cause they realized this world is goin' down the evil reign merciless don't care about the cries and those who can't defend themselves are bound to suffer 'n' die where is my hope? where is my hope? where is my peace? where is my peace? where is the power that is ending this disease? where is my joy? where is my joy? where is the love? where is the love? all i know is: i got one help it's gods help from above from above right in this moment children starve there's nothing to eat it sounds like a cliche it's sad we're getting used to it right in this moment wars are fought that no one needs and the warmongers don't care about their deeds and i hear people cryin' in this town each night because they hit the floor and the end of their tunnel shows no light where is that social system that was meant to help? it's like it's always been some rule and others live in hell where is my hope... and i can try to help and i can try to change the things that i don't like but the wickedness is overwhelming
4.
i might be drunken sometimes might have done wrong to girls i might have been confused and lost might have treated people bad and i might have disobeyed when the lord spoke to my heart but whatever happened in my life i praise god i praise god and nothing will ever hinder me from loving God and others might have hurt me things went down the drain and it wasn't like i wanted it to be and some efforts seemed in vain and there also were seasons of light sunny days that blessed my heart but even in the darkest times i praise god... and nothing will ever separate me from my god i don't say that life is easy i don't say that it's always bright and it's not simply neat and clean or only black and white but i do love my saviour no matter what may come in his wounds my ones will heal too and all the hurt i've done
5.
oh so superficial you see someone with tattoos and you think you have to be aware cause he might do harm to you but in fact it's mostly those who seem to be harmless and so smart they are the ones without a conscience the ones without a heart who starts wars? suits and ties who's leading in crime? suits and ties who makes thousands unemployed? suits and ties who's corrupt? suits and ties words full of crap suits and ties who's always wearing a disguise? suits and ties yeah they look so convincing oh you can trust their ways but they fail lots of decisions that end so many peoples days and you - you still believe them cause you judge others by their look it's so easy to betray you dude and to get you on the hook who let's the third world die? suits and ties who betrays his wife? suits and ties and behind nice curtains beats up his child suits and ties and the wild looking punks you look down at with despise work in old peoples homes or take care of a disabled child are teachers or educators try to live for things that count and it seems that in their heart some love for people can be found
6.
all the beauty in this world we can see it if we try midst the darkness of each day there's a light that's shinin' bright may it be a simple smile some kind words said right on time colors of a sunset-sky the feeling to be alive grief and pain are all around we see it daily in the news but open eyes for the good side is a gift we shouldn't lose singin' birds up in the trees drivin' at night on lonely streets showin' someone that you care dancin' to a rockin' beat don't be consumed by despair there is still some hope to keep though the night seems everywhere there's a joy no one can take cause i focus on the goal keep my eyes straight on the price a world without wickedness in the presence of the christ

08 Thieves 01:56
there was a time when no one wanted to live here still it was good enough for the old, the unemployed, the students for migrants, artists, poor families but now it seems that things have changed those who made this quarter beautiful are disseized by the rising rents thieves you are just thieves and you should be treated like thieves and it's not that you steal cause you're in need but you take and take just because of your greed and you act so self-righteous as if the others are the ones to blame when they show resistance and anger you try to appear innocent and tame but you are the monster that came and destroyed everything you are the ones who caused sadness and pain you are the ones who took their lives away thieves you are just... oh and i read your interviews you are so shocked because of the riots and you can't stand em anymore don't want destruction in your quarter but i tell you a little secret my friend it's never been your quarter in the end you simply came here some years ago and you took it without asking so you will see the riots and you will feel the wrath and you better stop complaining cause it's you who started it and you will see it burning all the homes / this quarter you took by force and you will look in the eyes of all those you have stolen from
9.
oh god this world is overwhelming too much pain and too much grief it looks like there's no chance to change it and we are ruled by liars and thieves oh god so many people suffer their lives are wrecked, heading towards death and i don't know how to react feelin' so helpless, small and weak but you are greater than the world you got a plan for everyone you got solutions and a heart so full of love and mercy so show us what has to be done i wanna change the world i wanna see a change i wanna change the world today hey i cant stand this crap this pain and all this sorrow i wanna change the world today i know you're full of love i know you're full of grace i wanna change the world today and yeah we are the ones the ones you want to use i wanna change the world today oh god the pain will not endure i know the future will be yours all evil will be gone your peace will reign forevermore

10 Child 01:17

lyrics by MeWithoutYou: (we only did a part of it) In everywhere we look [x6] Allah, Allah, Allah! In everywhere we look In everyone we meet [x6] Allah, Allah, Allah! In everyone we meet In every blade of grass [x6] Allah, Allah, Allah! In every blade of grass It doesn't matter what you done It doesn't matter what you done What effect is without a cause? It doesn't matter what you done Now lay your faithless head down in necessity's Cotton Hand There's a love that never changes No matter what you done If your old man did you wrong [x3] Well maybe his old man did him wrong If you care to sing forgiveness songs Come down and join our band And we'll cut you like sword And sing forgiveness songs Everywhere we look [x5] It's all crazy It's all false It's all a dream It's alright Everywhere we look
