Written On The Wall -- Todd Agnew

I heard stories about Moses in the desert
And I wondered if the years he'd spent there
Were anything like mine
Cause he ran trying to escape
The consequences of mistakes he made
Never knew You loved him all the while
Then You called his name

And I wish You still spoke through burning bushes
And I wish You still wrote on blocks of stone
Cause the sound of this world's deafening
And I'm having a hard time listening
And I wish Your will was still written on the wall

I heard of two Kings, Nebuchadnezzar and his son
You sent them dreams and visions
And Daniel to figure them out
They'd listen for a moment and obey for an instant
And then they'd go their own way
But I wouldn't know about that

And You wrote on the wall

And I wish You still spoke through burning bushes
And I wish You still wrote on blocks of stone
Cause the sound of this world's deafening
And I'm having a hard time listening
And I wish Your will was still written on the wall

Cause I can't seem to find You
I just need a little clue
It doesn't have to be a parting of the sea
If You'd just show me Your way

I know You still want to speak to me
Because I know Your love, it healed this heart of stone

But I wish You still spoke through burning bushes
And I wish You still wrote on blocks of stone
The sound of this world's deafening
And I'm having a hard time listening
And I wish Your will was still written on the wall
Written on the wall

Motions -- Matthew West

This might hurt, it's not safe
But I know that I've gotta make a change
I don't care if I break,
At least I'll be feeling something
Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of life

I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
Without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
What if I had given everything,
Instead of going through the motions?

No regrets, not this time
I'm gonna let my heart defeat my mind
Let Your love make me whole
I think I'm finally feeling something
Cause just okay is not enough
Help me fight through the nothingness of this life

Cause I don't wanna go through the motions
I don't wanna go one more day
Without Your all consuming passion inside of me
I don't wanna spend my whole life asking,
What if I had given everything,
Instead of going through the motions?

Take me all the way (take me all the way)
Take me all the way (cause I don't wanna go through the motions)
Take me all the way (I know I'm finally feeling something real)
Take me all the way

I don't wanna go through the motions

Bring The Rain -- Mercy Me

I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You
Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray

Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain

I am Yours regardless of
The dark clouds that may loom above
Because You are much greater than my pain
You who made a way for me
By suffering Your destiny
So tell me what's a little rain
So I pray

Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty

Follow You -- Leeland

You live among the least of these
The weary and the weak
And it would be a tragedy
For me to turn away

All my needs You have supplied
When I was dead, You gave me life
So how could I not give it away so freely?

And I'll follow You into the homes of the broken
Follow You into the world
Meet the needs for the poor and the needy, God
Follow You into the world

Use my hands, use my feet
To make Your kingdom come
To the corners of the earth
Until Your work is done

'Cause Faith without works is dead
And on the cross Your blood was shed
So how could we not give it away so freely?

And I give all myself
I give all myself
I give all myself to You

And I'll follow You into the homes of the broken
Follow You into the world
Meet the needs for the poor and the needy, God
Follow You into the world

Pants On The Ground -- General Larry Platt

Pants on the ground
Pants on the ground
Lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground

With gold in your mouth
Hat turned sideways
Pants hit the ground
Call yourself a cool cat
Lookin' like a fool
Walkin' downtown with your pants on the ground

Get 'em up, hey!
Get your pants off the ground
Lookin' like a fool
Walkin' talkin' with your pants on the ground

Get 'em up, hey!
Get your pants off the ground
Lookin' like a fool with your pants on the ground

(Repeat)

Thug Story -- Taylor Swift

Hey Hey, T-Swizzle {T-Swizzle}
And T-Pizzle {T-Pizzle}

[Taylor Swift:]
I'm like 8 foot 4
Blond hair to the floor
You shorties never thought I dreamed about rapping hardcore
No I ain't got a gun
No I never really been in a club
Still live with my parents but I'm still a thug
I'm so gangster you can find me baking cookies at night
You out clubbing but I just made caramel delight
T-Swift and T-Pain rapping on the same track
It's a thug story, tell me can you handle that?

[T-Pain & Taylor:]
I had a dream last night

[Taylor Swift:]
I had high top Nikes
I had

[T-Pain & Taylor:]
Diamonds in my mouth
And Diamonds on my mic

[Taylor Swift:]
By the time I woke I was singing

[T-Pain:]
I'm on a boat, whoa oh

[Taylor Swift:]
Cause I'm a singer turned rapper

[T-Pain:]
Shorty I'm a make ya

[Taylor Swift:]

[T-Pain:]
Hey, It's a thug story
Now tell 'em who you are
Singer turned gangster

[Taylor Swift:]
You don't want to fight me

[T-Pain:]
Straight to the top

[Taylor Swift:]
In my extra small white tee

[T-Pain:]
T-Swift and T-Pain all up on the same track
It's a thug story now can you get with that?

[Taylor Swift (T-Pain):]
What, What, I knit sweaters, yo!
What, What, Don't test me (Beep)
Hey, Hold on, hold on
I didn't even say anything I- (What?)
I said Yo (yup)
You guys bleeped me and I didn't even say anything
I didn't swear (She didn't even swear)
Hello? Ugh!

Indescribable -- Chris Tomlin

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
YOU ARE AMAZING GOD
All powerful, untameable
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
YOU ARE AMAZING GOD

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
YOU ARE AMAZING GOD
All powerful, untameable
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
YOU ARE AMAZING GOD
You are amazing God
