1. Joshua
American Traditional,
arranged by Stephen Givens Chorus:
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho, Jericho, Jericho.
Joshua fought the battle of Jericho
And the walls came tumbling down.
You can talk about your men of Gideon.
You can talk about your men of Saul.
But there's nothing like good old Joshua
At the battle of Jericho.
(Chorus)
Right up to the walls of Jericho,
He marched with spear in hand.
"Go blow those ram horns," Joshua cried,
Cause the battle is in my hand.
(Chorus x4)
Yeah...
5. Awesome Majesty

When I'm wandering, you post signs along my road.
And when I'm faltering, you never let me fall too far.
And when I'm leading, I still rely upon your lead.
And when I'm kneeling, you reveal exactly who you are.
Chorus:
You are perfect, you are wonderful to me.
You are healing, you are the grace that sets me free.
You are loving, a greater friend you could not be.
You are, you are, you are my Awesome Majesty.
You are my Awesome Majesty.
And when I'm blinded, you are the sight before my eyes.
I am reminded you are the way, the truth, the life.
And when I'm wounded, I am a patient in your care.
The Great Physician who keeps appointments every hour.
(Chorus)
Bridge:
I believe that you died for me.
I believe that I've been set free, yeah.
I believe that you're the one for me. You're my Awesome Majesty.
(Repeat first verse)
(Chorus x2)

There's a cross by the side of the road
Where a mother lost her son.
How could she know that the morning
He left would be the last time
She'd trade with him for a little more time,
So she could say she loved him one last time
And hold him tight.
But with life, you never know
When you're coming up to the end of the road.
So what do we do then
With tragedy around the bend?
Chorus:
We live, we love, we forgive, and never give up.
Cause the days we are given are gifts from above
And today we remember to live and to love.
(Repeat)
There's a man who waits for the test
To see if the cancer has spread yet.
And now he asks
"So why did I wait to live till it was time to die.
If I could give the time back, how I'd live.
Life is such a gift."
So how does the story end?
Well, this is your story and it all depends.
So don't let it become true.
Get out and do what we were meant to do.
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Waking up to another dark morning.
People are mourning. The weather in life outside is storming.
But what would it take for the clouds to break?
For us to realize each day is a gift some how, some way.
And get our heads up outta the darkness and spark this new mindset.
And start to live life cuz it ain't gone yet.
And tragedy's a reminder to take off the blinders and wake up.
And live the life we're supposed
To take up, moving forward with our heads up.
Cuz life is worth living.
(Chorus x2)
7. Good Old A Cappella
Words and Music: Les Carter and Susan Sisko
© 1973 Max Hound Music
There's a light that's from the window,
And it shines down on the street.
There's some guys standing on the corner
Makin' good old harmony.
Now there's a light that's from the window
And it's sent to the street corner symphony.
Let 'em sing, let 'em shout,
Cause they're singin' that good old harmony.
Chorus:
Singin' it soul to soul, brother to brother,
A cappella. Well, it sounds good to me.
And we're singin' it soul to soul, brother to brother,
A cappella. Well, it sounds good to me.
Now I turn off the light, say goodnight to another day.
I'm gonna rest my weary head in my long awaited bed.
I'm gonna get on my knees and pray.
Ask the Lord to give me just one more day.
O Lord hear my plea. This music just sounds so good to me.
(Chorus)
Now we're singin' for the Lord,
And we're feeling mighty good.
Making music with our voices like we know all Christians should.
We don't need any type of guitar or an instrument to use.
It sounds good to me and I'm hopin' it sounds good to you.
(Chorus)
Listen
Soul sing a cappella (x3)
Church sing a cappella (x3)
8. What Is It All About?
Words and Music: Stephen Givens
© 2006 Asher Music
Father, what is it all about?
It's not about the trees.
It's not about the mountains.
It's not about the seas.
It's all about the one who created all of these.
It's not about the notes on the page.
It's not about the way or how I sing.
It's not about the music.
It's all about lifting it up to praise your Holy name.
Chorus:
And every time I pray, every time I sing,
I wonder if I could be what you want me to be.
And sometimes I fall, and I know I fail.
But I gotta know, what is it all about?
It's not about my heart.
It's not about my soul or my strength.
It's not about my mind.
It's all about giving these to you Lord on high.
It's not about me.
It's not about my mom or my dad.
It's not about my friend or relatives.
It's all about the Father who gave His Son to die that I might live.
(Chorus)
Is it all about you, God,
Or is it all about me?
Lord, I take and take and take,
So am I taking this spotlight so that I can have the gain?
When you died on the cross,
Did you hang there in vain?
But who am I to say
I've got nothing when you have given me everything?
(Chorus x2)
Father...
I want my Father...
I need my Father...
Please know that I am Yours.
9. All I Want Is You
Words: Ben Blackwell, Music: Scott Perreault

I come to you in search of life.
I come to you in search of faith.
I lay all my burdens down to you,
And I hope someday to see your face.
(repeat)
Chorus:
You are my Lord, and I need you now.
You give and take away from me.
You are my Lord and you are my God,
And all I want is You.
I worship you with all my heart.
I worship you with all I have.
You've given me life, given me faith,
And everyday with you is the path I want to take.
(Chorus)
Bridge:
You are the reason that I can see
Through the fog that blinds me way.
I have hope that the One I love
Will be faithful to me in every way.
(Repeat second verse)
(Chorus x2)
10. Could It Be?
Words and Music: Scott Perreault (OVU 91)
© 2006 Nedyah Music
I am wondering where the mystery's gone.
I am needing to know just what's wrong.
Why are church folks so tired and bored?
Where's your passion? Where's your excitement for the Lord?
Chorus:
Could it be that we've forgotten
There we're not of this world, no?
Could it be our standard's fallen?
It's time to remember to
Remember the Lord.
I am wondering if our new iPods,
Are they taking the place of our God?
Is your email read more than the word?
Is Jesus your God or your new cuss word?
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Love Him with all your heart.
Love Him with all your mind.
Love Him with all you have.
Always remember the Lord, whoa...
(Chorus x2)
11. Glory
Words and Music: Scott Perreault (OVU 91)
© 2006 Nedyah Music
It's dark outside, and I can't see
My hand and it's in front of me
But I know you're there.
You're always there.
And when I've lost my way to go,
You make sure, Lord, that I know you're there.
You're always there.
When darkness overwhelms me, Lord, your light breaks through.
And I can see the blinding light surrounding you.
Chorus:
When I see your glory, your glory,
Lord it's you. It's you.
(Repeat)
Sadness tries to swallow me,
Your peace is right there holding me.
Lord, I know you're there.
I know you're there.
And even when it seems you've gone,
You're never gone, Lord, for too long
Cause you're always there.
You're always there.
When darkness overwhelms me, Lord, your light breaks through.
And I can see the blinding light surrounding you.
(Chorus)
Bridge:
When the evil one tries to hurt me.
When the forces of evil are winning.
And when I have lost my way...
(Chorus x2)
12. Quiet My Soul
Words and Music: Nathan Myers and Ted Keys
Pillowstone Music (ASCAP)
Lord, quiet my soul. (x4)
But my life cries loud
Just like the raging water.
It's such a deafning sound,
That's why I need you, My Father.
When the day's end is near,
The only sound I want to hear
Is the peace and tranquility
Of my God.
That's why I'm singing...
Chorus:
Lord, I wanna quiet my soul.
Oh Lord, I wanna be still and know
That you are God.
Quiet my soul.
(Repeat)
But my heart beats hard
Just like an angry drum,
And I seem so far,
So far from where I have come.
When I feel alone,
The only sound that guides me home
Is the peace and the harmony
Of my God, of my God.
That's why I'm singing.
(Chorus x3)
Lord, quiet my soul. (x5)
13. My God Always Finds A Way
Words and Music: Scott Perreault (OVU 91)
© 2006 Nedyah Music
What if Moses freaked out at the burning bush?
Would God have just scared someone else?
And if Abraham laughed at the promise of God,
What would've happen if he hadn't believed?
What if Joshua'd been caught and Rehab sold out?
What if Elijah had failed callin' down the fire?
Would God be out of options if His people ran away?
Would he find a way? I think He'd find a way.
Chorus:
My God finds a way, a way to relieve
The prisoners of the war.
My God finds a way, a way to succeed.
My God always finds a way.
My God always finds a way.
What if Peter said no or Matthew had charged?
What if James and John had both said (words spoken)?
What if Paul was defiant in the face of his blindness?
Would the good news of Christ fade away?
(Chorus)
Bridge:
What if Jesus decided to come off the cross?
Would we still be here alive?
And if God had decided we weren't worth the cost?
Thank God His love has found a way.
(Chorus x2)
14. Where's the Time?
Words and Music: Scott Perreault (OVU 91)
© 2006 Nedyah Music
Chorus:
Got to believe in Him.
Gotta set me free from this sin.
Gotta give me peace and give me love.
Gotta set my mind on things above.
Got a lot of things to do, Father.
Oh where's the time?
You know I was sittin' here, waitin', wishin'.
Wanting you to take possession of my heart, of my life.
Everytime I'm on my knees, waiting for you to relieve
This horrible sin from my hands.
Oh where is the time? Where is the time?
(Chorus)
Don't you know that time is tickin', turnin', burnin' the light of day.
I can't be wasting my time.
Tick, tock, hear the clock. Got to go, I'm on the run.
About to lose my mind.
Come on, come on, come on...
Where is the time? Where is the time?
(Chorus)
Where is the Time?
Where is the Time?

Writers: Regie Glenn Hamm/Aaron Herman/Chuck Butler

You can't seem to turn a new leaf
Cause they've all been around since spring.
And your complaints echo useless in the autumn breeze.
You say there's nothing new under the sun
That you haven't seen for days.
And yet you curse the clouds to get along their merry way.
You're living so introspectively.
But if you look real hard beyond your
Point of view, you just might see.
Chorus:
Ten thousand beautiful things all around
In this beautiful world on just any given day.
So many wonderful things for your beautiful eyes to behold.
Ten thousand beautiful things to be found
In this beautiful world our beautiful Father made.
So many wonderful things and He said it was good.
That's good enough for me.
I know where you are and where you've been
Cause I've been there myself.
And I can tell this attitude you're wearing is just a cry for help.
Although at times a bigger picture isn't very clear.
No matter what you think, it's no mistake, this life down here.
Though sometimes we feel the gravity.
Like it or not, you're one of many colors
That paints this tapestry.
(Chorus)
Bridge:
At night the sun is shining on ten thousand foreign lands.
And still ten thousand suns shine on us,
Spinning in our Father's hands.
(Chorus)
Can't you see all the beautiful things around?
That's good enough for me.
Can't you see all the beautiful things around?

2. Jesus Is All I Need
Words and Music: Andrew Cook (OVU)

Came home from school today
Ready to give it up.
Grades are low, friends don't hang around,
And life is just too tough.
Fall down on my knees to pray, don't know where else to go.
Take my cares and troubles away and suddenly I know.
Chorus:
Jesus is all I need.
I need him very hour.
Jesus is all I need.
His strength is my power.
Got home from school today,
The yelling started again.
Mom and Dad can't seem to get along.
When will this ever end?
Fall down on my knees to pray, don't know where else to go.
Take my cares and burdens away and suddenly I know.
(Chorus)
Coming home from school today,
There were tears in my eyes.
She said, "It's over. Why don't you get a life."
Doesn't even say goodbye.
Fall down on my knees to pray, don't know where else to go.
Take my cares and troubles away and suddenly I know.
(Chorus x2)
Coming home from school today,
The sun was shining bright.
3. Give It Up To God
Words and Music: Andrew Cook (OVU)
© 2006
Struggles come into my life
Causing me pain and strife.
I try to figure it out and do it by myself
And that's when I call on the Lord.
Chorus:
You gotta give it up to God. (x2)
I put my faith in man
Not in God and His plan.
But then it's all so clear I can't make it on my own
And that's when I call on the Lord.
(Chorus)
Bridge:
You can't make it on your own.
How cold my heart has grown.
Then you make your presence shown,
And I know I'm not alone.
And when I get back on the road,
You carry my heavy load.
It's then I see your ways and know your truth
And know I'll never be alone.
(Chorus x2, Bridge, Chorus x2)
4. Drive
Words and Music: Scott Perreault (OVU 91)
© 2006 Nedyah Music
I got two directions I can go today.
I can go that way, or I can go that way.
And if I go that way, I don't know where it leads.
But if I go that way, I don't necessarily like when I see.
If life's a win/win, well I like to win.
But if it's a win/lose, Lord, won't you tell me what to do.
Chorus:
Well I need Jesus, yeah. I need Jesus to drive.
I got my license but no will to survive.
Well I need Jesus, yeah, to put His foot on the brake
When I make a mistake. Oh how I need Jesus.
I got two directions I can go today.
I can go my way, or I can go His way.
And if I go His way, I don't know where it leads.
But if I go my way, I don't necessarily like what I see.
If life's a win/win, well I like to win.
But if it's a win/lose, Lord, won't you tell me what to do.
(Chorus)
Bridge:
There is a name that I love hear.
I love to sing its worth.
It sounds like music in my ear.
The greatest name on earth.
(Chorus x2)
