In December 2013, we established a radio program called Preparing the Way, which was a worldwide radio broadcast via the Internet dedicated to preparing the way for the imminent return of our Lord Jesus Christ in repentance, preaching holiness, righteous, and truth. While the program is no longer actively airing, we do have the archived episodes listed below, as well as music videos.

Scriptural Basis
As the Scripture says:

"A voice is calling, 'Clear the way for the LORD in the wilderness; Make smooth in the desert a highway for our God. Let every valley be lifted up, And every mountain and hill be made low; And let the rough ground become a plain, And the rugged terrain a broad valley; Then the glory of the LORD will be revealed, And all flesh will see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.'" (Isa 40:3-5)

“And all flesh will see the salvation of God.'" (Luk 3:6)

"Get yourself up on a high mountain, O Zion, bearer of good news, Lift up your voice mightily, O Jerusalem, bearer of good news; Lift it up, do not fear. Say to the cities of Judah, 'Here is your God!' Behold, the Lord GOD will come with might, With His arm ruling for Him. Behold, His reward is with Him And His recompense before Him."  (Isa 40:9-10)

“Pass through, pass through the gates! Prepare the way for the people. Build up, build up the highway! Remove the stones. Raise a banner for the nations.  The Lord has made proclamation to the ends of the earth: ‘Say to Daughter Zion, “See, your Savior comes! See, his reward is with him, and his recompense accompanies him.”’ They will be called the Holy People, the Redeemed of the Lord; and you will be called Sought After, the City No Longer Deserted.” (Isa 62:10-12)

"'Behold, I am going to send My messenger, and he will clear the way before Me. And the Lord, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the covenant, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming,' says the LORD of hosts. 'But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap. He will sit as a smelter and purifier of silver, and He will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the LORD offerings in righteousness.'" (Mal 3:1-3)

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"

The Kingdom of God is Like This

Welcome to a time of quiet reflection and worship. This original modern hymn, "The Kingdom of God is Like This," was written with the assistance of AI tools to bring powerful biblical truths into a meditative musical format. Rooted deeply in the parables of Jesus, the song explores the quiet, mysterious, and unstoppable expansion of the Kingdom of God in our hearts and in the world.

Scriptural Inspirations
The Growing Seed & The Mustard Seed: Mark 4:26–29 & Matthew 13:31–32
The Yeast in the Flour: Matthew 13:33
The Hidden Treasure & Pearl of Great Price: Matthew 13:44–46
The Casting Net: Matthew 13:47–48



The Kingdom of God is Like This (lyrics)
[Verse 1] The Kingdom of God is like a tiny seed, Sown upon the earth in simple deed. Night and day it quietly grows, How, the sower never knows. First the blade, then full ripe grain— God alone brings forth the gain. [Chorus] Oh, the Kingdom of God is like a growing seed, Hidden in the earth, yet bearing fruit indeed. From the smallest start to branches spreading wide, Where the birds of heaven safely come and hide. Though our eyes can't see the work begun, God is growing His Kingdom till His will is done. [Verse 2] The Kingdom of God is like the yeast in bread, Hidden in the flour till the whole is fed. Silent is its work, yet strong its power, Changing all within from hour to hour. Little things become God's mighty plan— He transforms the world and heart of man. [Chorus] Oh, the Kingdom of God is like a growing seed, Hidden in the earth, yet bearing fruit indeed. From the smallest start to branches spreading wide, Where the birds of heaven safely come and hide. Though our eyes can't see the work begun, God is growing His Kingdom till His will is done. [Bridge] The Kingdom of God is like a hidden treasure found, Or one great pearl of everlasting worth renowned. Gladly all is given, joyfully we part With every lesser thing to gain His heart. Nothing in this world can e'er compare With all the riches waiting for us there. [Verse 3] The Kingdom of God is like a casting net, Gathering every soul that it has met. When the harvest comes, the King will reign; Justice and mercy shine through every name. Last and first are welcomed by His grace— Every humble heart will find its place. [Outro] The Kingdom comes like seed beneath the sod, Quietly unfolding by the hand of God. Hidden now, yet one day every eye shall see The fullness of His glorious victory. So let the seed take root and grow— His Kingdom comes... His Kingdom grows... Forevermore.

Boast in the Lord

A new original worship lyric video focusing on surrender, finding strength in Christ, and giving Him all the glory. 

"So I'll boast in all my weakness, for Your power meets me there."

May this song be a prayer of surrender for your personal devotion time or your church congregation.

Scriptural Basis
  • 1 Corinthians 1:29–31 / Jeremiah 9:23–24: The foundation that human pride and wisdom are dismantled so that the one who boasts boasts only in the Lord;
  • Ephesians 2:8–9: Salvation as a gift of grace through faith, leaving no room for human works or self-glory;
  • 2 Corinthians 12:9–10: The central paradox and declaration that Christ's power is perfected and rests upon us in our weakness ("When I am weak, then I am strong");
  • Psalm 115:1: The posture of ascribing all glory, honor, and praise entirely to God's name rather than to human achievement.

Boast in the Lord (lyrics)
[Verse 1] All the strength I thought I had All the crowns I chased and claimed Left me empty, left me lost Till I called upon Your name Every title, every prize Fades beneath Your holy throne All my glory turns to dust You alone are glorious [Chorus] So I'll boast in all my weakness For Your power meets me there Not by wisdom, not by strength Only by Your grace You are lifted in my brokenness You are worthy, Christ the King Let the cross be all my glory Jesus, everything [Verse 2] Human wisdom fades away Pride will never stand with You Still You love to raise the weak Faithful, righteous, good, and true When my hands have nothing left When my strength is finally gone There Your grace becomes enough There Your glory shines [Bridge] When I am weak, You are strong Here with You is where I belong Break my pride, make me new All the glory belongs to You When I am weak, You are strong Here with You is where I belong Break my pride, make me new All the glory belongs to You [Outro] Not to us, O Lord, not us To Your name be all the praise When I am weak, Your power stays Christ, be exalted always

As Little Children Do

Step into the pure joy, wonder, and intimacy of God’s family with "As Little Children Do", a Scripture-based worship song. Produced through prayer and deeply rooted in Scripture, this uplifting worship song explores the heart of Jesus' teaching that we must receive the Kingdom of God like a little child (Matthew 18:3, Matthew 19:14, Mark 10:14–15, and Luke 18:16–17). It's intended to be sung by both children and adults alike, and is not meant to be only for children. Sung by a vibrant children's vocal ensemble (synthetically generated) with warm, acoustic-driven instrumentation, this song takes listeners on a clear biblical and emotional journey: • Childlike Coming to God: Approaching the Lord with humility, dependence, trust, and open hearts. • Receiving the Kingdom: Embracing the central truth of the Gospels—that the Kingdom belongs to such as these. • Belonging to God's Family: Resting in the Father's embrace as brothers and sisters, sons and daughters. • Royal Identity: Celebrating the balance of God's majestic reign and His deep personal intimacy as "Abba, Father." • Joyful Worship: Expressing the natural response of children who know they are fully loved, redeemed by the cross, and brought out of darkness into His marvelous light. Musical Style & Instrumentation • Vocals: Joyful, jubilant young voices featuring call-and-response sections, a lead child vocal, and warm echo harmonies. • Instruments: 12-string acoustic guitar fingerpicking, warm grand piano, melodic upright bass, soft ambient synth pads, tambourine, maracas, and light drums. "Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." — Mark 10:15

Overcomers

Welcome to the official worship lyric video for "Overcomers," a powerful modern hymn declaring the victory we have through Jesus Christ. No matter the trials, battles, or dark seasons we walk through, we stand firm on His unchanging Word, clothed in His armor, and anchored in His finished work on the cross.

Scripture Basis 
Romans 8:37 (NIV) — "No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us." 1 John 4:4 (NASB): "You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world." Revelation 12:11 (KJV) — "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death." Also see: 1 John 5:4–5; Ephesians 6:11–13; Rev 21:4-5

Watch on Youtube: Overcomers. Related articles: Overcomers in This Life and Overcoming the World.


Overcomers (lyrics)
[Verse 1] In a world of trial, a world of pain, Where shadows gather and hopes seem slain, We take our stand on the Savior's Word, The voice of truth that the nations have heard. Though the fire burns and the battle is long, Christ is our refuge, our strength and song. Bearing the cross, we will not turn away; Faithful to Jesus, we'll stand today. [Chorus] We overcome by the blood of the Lamb, By the word of our testimony we stand. Greater is He who is living in us; Strong in the name of our Lord Jesus. Christ has triumphed; victory's won. Our victory rests in God's own Son. [Verse 2] Not in our own strength do we fight, Strong in the Lord, in His power and might. Clothed in His armor, we stand unashamed, Holding the shield of faith in His name. Standing firm on His faithful Word, Trusting each promise we have heard. Submitting to God, every lie must flee; The victory is Christ's, and the victory is free. [Bridge] We will not love this passing life More than our Savior crucified. Though we walk through fire or sword, Nothing can separate us from our Lord. We will not cling to fleeting breath; Faithful to Jesus, even through death. He who endures till the race is won Will hear, "Well done," from God's own Son. [Final Chorus] We overcome by the blood of the Lamb, By the word of our testimony we stand. Greater is He who is living in us; Strong in the name of our Lord Jesus. Christ has triumphed; victory's won. We overcome through God's own Son. Death has no victory, fear has no claim; All of hell trembles at Jesus' name! Death has no victory, fear has no claim; All of hell trembles at Jesus' name! [Outro] To the one who overcomes, the promise remains: He makes all things new; His kingdom shall reign. No more sorrow, no more tears, No more death, no more fears. Forever His people, forever His own; Forever with Jesus before His throne. Forever we worship our Savior and King, Singing, "Hallelujah! Hallelujah!" (at home forever...) Singing, "Hallelujah! Hallelujah!" (lifting eternal praise...) To the one who overcomes, the promise remains: He makes all things new; His kingdom shall reign. No more sorrow, no more tears, No more death, no more fears. Forever His people, forever His own; Forever with Jesus, forever at home. Forever we worship our Savior and King, Singing, "Hallelujah! Hallelujah!" (at home forever...) Singing, "Hallelujah! Hallelujah!" (lifting eternal praise...)

Just Like Jonah

Join a joyful children's ensemble for an uplifting, upbeat praise song exploring a powerful biblical parallel! This track breaks down the incredible "Sign of Jonah"—comparing three days and nights in the belly of a great fish to Christ's time in the heart of the earth, leading to ultimate victory over death and new life for all. Bible References • Matthew 12:39–40 • Jonah 1:17 – 2:10 • Romans 5:6 • 1 Corinthians 15:3–4
Watch on Youtube: Just Like Jonah.


The Sign of Jonah (lyrics)
[Verse 1] God told Jonah, "Go and preach!" To a city far away, Instead he caught a ship to sail Upon the ocean spray! A mighty storm began to blow, The sailors cried in fear, "Oh, who has caused this heavy wind To toss our little gear?" [Chorus] Slosh, splash, down he went! Into the ocean blue! God prepared a big, big fish To rescue Jonah through! Just like Jonah was inside The belly of the fish, God kept him safe and sound— His love is deep and rich! [Verse 2] Three long days and three long nights, In the dark and deep, Jonah prayed and trusted God While in the fish's keep. Then out he popped onto the sand, To preach with all his might, And turn a wicked city back To walking in the light! [Bridge] Now listen close, boys and girls, To what this means today, Jesus used the Sign of Jonah In a wondrous way: “Just like Jonah was inside The belly of the fish, So the Son of Man was in The heart of earth for this— Three days and nights, He died and rose, For sinners, weak as we, To conquer death and bring new life For you and me eternally!” [Outro] Yes, for you and me! In the deep blue sea, or the heart of the earth, Jesus' love shows endless worth!

The Story of the Savior | The Message of His Love

"The Story of the Savior" is a narrative-style Christian worship song that follows the beautiful redemption story of Jesus from beginning to end, telling the complete story of Jesus Christ—from the glory of heaven, to the humble manger, to the cross, the empty tomb, His ascension, and the Great Commission to proclaim the gospel to the ends of the earth. Inspired by the truth of Scripture, this song traces His journey from leaving the glory of the Father to be born in Bethlehem, His earthly ministry of healing and grace, His sacrificial death on the cross, His victorious resurrection, and His return to heaven after entrusting His followers with the greatest mission ever given—to share the gospel, the best news ever heard.

My desire in writing this song was to capture the full story of our Savior in a single worship anthem—a song that reminds us of who Jesus is, what He accomplished for us, the incredible price He paid for our salvation, and the hope we have because He lives. May it encourage believers, point seekers to Christ, and inspire all who hear it to faithfully proclaim His message of love and redemption. "The Story of the Savior" features heartfelt, narrative-style vocals with acoustic 12-string guitar, grand piano, violin, cello, and French horn, creating a warm and reverent worship atmosphere that keeps the focus on Christ and His gospel. "From the glory of the Father... to the manger... to the timber... to the empty tomb... and back to heaven—the greatest story ever told." May the story of our Savior never cease to be told, from the rising of the morning to the setting of the sun.

  • Acts 10:42–43 – Peter declares that Jesus is appointed Judge of the living and the dead, and that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name.
  • Romans 1:16 – The gospel is the power of God for salvation.
  • Romans 5:8 – Christ died for us while we were still sinners.
  • Romans 10:9–17 – Faith comes by hearing the message of Christ.
  • Ephesians 2:8–9 – Salvation is by grace through faith.
  • 1 Corinthians 15:1–4 – The gospel by which we are saved.
  • Revelation 5:9–13 – The Lamb who was slain is worthy of all worship.
May this song encourage you to worship Christ, rejoice in His finished work, and faithfully proclaim the greatest story ever told—the gospel of Jesus Christ.
This collection closely follows the narrative of your lyrics, with Acts 10:36–43 serving as the central "outline" of the song: Jesus came, ministered in the power of God, was crucified, raised on the third day, appeared to witnesses, ascended, was appointed Judge of the living and the dead, and commissioned His followers to proclaim forgiveness of sins through His name.

The Story of the Savior (lyrics)
[Verse 1] From the glory of the Father, down to earth he came, Leaving heaven for this world, in a lowly human frame. Born of a virgin mother, in the dust of Bethlehem, A miracle of the Spirit, the light for all of men. [Chorus] Oh, the story of the Savior, told in shadow and in light, From the manger to the timber, through the darkness of the night. He bore the weight of every sin, upon that rugged tree, And in the breaking of the day, he rose to set us free. [Verse 2] Anointed in the valley, with the power and the grace, Jesus walked the dusty road, to touch the weary face. He healed the broken-hearted, and the captives he set free, Proving God was walking there, for all the world to see. [Chorus] Oh, the story of the Savior, told in shadow and in light, From the manger to the timber, through the darkness of the night. He bore the weight of every sin, upon that rugged tree, And in the breaking of the day, he rose to set us free. [Verse 3] They nailed him to the timber, on the hill of jagged stone, He bled to buy our freedom, he suffered all alone. But death could not contain him, on the third day he arose, Appearing to the chosen ones, as the morning softly glows. [Bridge] He gave to us the mission, to carry forth the Word, The gospel of the ages, the best news ever heard. The Judge of all the living, and the dead beneath the ground, He is the One appointed, where the mercy can be found. [Outro] So lift your voice and carry, the story evermore, Of the One who came to save us, and open up the door. From the rising of the morning, to the setting of the sun, The message of His love, is the work that He has done. "He gave to us the mission, to carry forth the Word, the gospel of the ages, the best news ever heard."

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

The Uncontrollable Rise: From AI Warning to End-Time Reality

In this investigative session, we move beyond the headlines to analyze the convergence of artificial intelligence, advanced surveillance, and the emerging technological infrastructure that defines our modern "Perceptual Prison." This episode explores the transition from digital convenience to total systemic control, examining how current trends in cashless economies and biometric verification align with the prophetic warnings of Scripture. We dissect the reality of the "Digital Vessel"—the increasing integration of machine systems into the human sphere—and what this means for personal autonomy and freedom. In this episode, we cover:
  • The shift from physical currency to a biometric control grid.
  • The psychological implications of a "social credit" driven financial system.
  • An analysis of the technological infrastructure foreshadowing the end-time warnings described in the biblical record.

Beneath Your Mighty Hand (lyrics)

[Verse 1]
Lord, I bring no crown of mine,
I leave my own designs behind.
I lay my pride before Your throne,
I rest in grace that makes me whole
Oh, teach me how to see through You,
And walk in all that’s pure and true.

[Chorus]
Beneath Your mighty hand I bow;
Shape my heart and teach me now.
Keep me lowly in Your sight,
Lead me in Your holy light.
Let me seek Your will each day;
Teach me, Lord, Your humble way.

[Verse 2]
I count my neighbor more than me,
Greater in their dignity.
Learning the rhythm of a servant's heart,
With patience and with gentleness,
In the midst of my distress,
I learn to love the way You do.

[Chorus]
Beneath Your mighty hand I bow;
Shape my heart and teach me now.
Keep me lowly in Your sight,
Lead me in Your holy light.
Let me seek Your will each day;
Teach me, Lord, Your humble way.

[Bridge]
I humble myself beneath Your mighty hand;
I seek Your face and not Your hand.
If I lift myself, I'll surely fall,
But as I empty out my all,
The One who sits above the sun
Will raise me up when all is done.

[Outro]
Humble hearts, open hands,
According to Your perfect plans.
In Your time You'll lift me high;
In You, my God, I'm satisfied.

Beneath Your Mighty Hand | Official Music Video (Worship Experience)

Experience a time of quiet reflection and intimate worship with this new music video, "Beneath Your Mighty Hand," a song crafted from my own heartfelt personal prayer and a dedicated study on the biblical nature of humility. This project was born from a desire to explore the posture of the heart that recognizes absolute dependence on God, drawing on the paradox that we are lifted up when we willingly choose to be brought low. The Symbolism of the Imagery The visual for this video is designed to capture a profound spiritual truth: the contrast between our natural perspective and God’s objective reality. In the image, the man prays in the dim light of a single, flickering candle—a symbol of his humble, earthly reliance on what he can see and control. The radiant beams of light above him, however, represent the manifestation of God’s glory. This light is visible to us as viewers, yet it remains hidden from the man in his "natural" realm. It is a visual narrative of our lives: often feeling alone in the quiet dark, while completely encompassed by the overwhelming, unseen glory of God. Scriptural Basis This song and its accompanying imagery are grounded in a tapestry of biblical truth:
  • The Foundation of Lowliness: Psalm 22:6 and 138:6 remind us that God draws near to the lowly, while Psalm 25:9 teaches that He guides those who humbly seek His way.
  • The Principle of Divine Exaltation: The central theme is rooted in 1 Peter 5:6, which commands us to "humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you," echoing the truths found in James 4:10 and Luke 14:11.
  • Relational Humility: The practical expression of this heart-state is found in Philippians 2:3-4, which calls us to count others as more significant than ourselves, following the self-emptying example of Christ.
Scriptural Basis
2 Corinthians 3:18; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 12:1-2; Romans 8:29; and Colossians 3:9-10.

Watch on Youtube -- Beneath Your Might Hand (version 1). Also see Your Humble Way (version 8), which has a different tune and acoustic guitar as the lead instrument.

Learning the rhythm of a servant's heart,
With patience and with gentleness,
In the midst of my distress,

From Glory to Glory | A Transforming Worship Experience

This worship music video is rooted in Scripture and reflects a personal heart's cry during my prayer life—my hope is that it becomes a voice for your journey, too. The theme of being "Transformed From Glory to Glory" captures the essence of the Christian life: a progressive, lifelong journey of becoming more like Jesus Christ.

Scriptural Basis 2 Corinthians 3:18; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Romans 12:1-2; Romans 8:29; and Colossians 3:9-10.

From Glory to Glory (lyrics)

[Verse 1]
The old has passed, and shadows fade away 
My heart is open to a brand new day 
Once a captive, now I stand by grace 
To look upon the Savior, with unveiled face 
For where the Spirit dwells, there’s liberty 
The chains are broken, and my soul is free 

[Chorus]
Holy Spirit, transform me
From glory to glory
Ever more like Jesus
Into His image  

[Chorus]

Holy Spirit, transform me
From glory to glory
Ever more like Jesus
Into His image  

[Verse 2]
The Spirit gives the life that makes me whole
Forming Christ within my heart 
Not a fading splendor, but one that lasts 
A surpassing glory eclipsing the past 
Renewing my mind, my heart pure and new 
I’m being molded, Lord, to look like You 

[Bridge]
Unveiled before Your throne, I see the radiance grow
From the depths of who I am, let Your likeness show
Chosen by the Father, by Your grace, divine
Transform me, Lord, let Your beauty shine 
The glory that remains, the glory that’s real 
Seal it in my spirit, Your image reveal!  

[Chorus]
Holy Spirit, transform me
From glory to glory
Ever more like Jesus
Into His image  

[Short 5-second guitar solo]

[Chorus]

Holy Spirit, transform me
From glory to glory
Ever more like Jesus
Into His image  

[Outro]
Ever-increasing, ever-changing, more like You
From glory to glory, in everything I do
My life now hidden in Christ is changed
Transformed forever, in Your holy Name

The Crimson Flood | Worship Music Video

This worship music video for "Holy Fire", based on my own experience and prayer life, is a prayerful invitation to experience the purifying and tangible power of the Holy Spirit. Inspired by the profound theological perspective that the baptism with the Holy Spirit and fire is a literal, observable spiritual experience rather than a metaphor, this song weaves together ancient scriptural truths and the rich, evocative imagery of 17th-century hymnody. In this video, you will hear: Reflections on biblical passages such as Matthew 3:11, Luke 3:16, and Luke 12:49, which underscore the reality of this divine fire. Imagery of the "celestial flame," "refining silver," and the "pillar of light," themes long cherished in historical worship to describe the Spirit's transformative work. A heartfelt prayer for total surrender, asking that our minds be set on God's desires and our lamps be kept filled with oil until the break of day. May this song serve as a catalyst for your own encounter with the Consuming Fire, helping you to move past metaphors into a deeper, more complete union with the Risen One. Scriptural Basis Matthew 3:11; 25:1-13; Luke 3:16; 12:49; Acts 2:3; Romans 8:5-6; 12:1; Daniel 7:10; Hebrews 12:28; Isaiah 6, Ezekiel 1, Revelation 3:18; Revelation 4:5; Exodus 13:21-22; Isaiah 1:25; Malachi 3:2-3; Proverbs 25:4; Job 23:10; Deuteronomy 4:24; 1 Thessalonians 5:19.

Holy Fire: Keep Me Burning (Lyrics)

[Verse 1]
In the shadows of our deepest shame
We searched for mercy, we called Your name
Bound by the debt we could not pay
Until the turning of the day
For in Him we have the grand release
The quiet wonder of a perfect peace
Through His own blood, the ransom price is shown
The riches of His grace are clearly known.

[Chorus]
Oh, the blood, the crimson flood
That washed away the stains of sin
The life He gave, the soul to save
To let the light of heaven in
From the altar of the cross it flows
The deepest love that ever rose
Redeemed by the blood, we stand made whole
The anchor for the weary soul.

[Verse 2]
How much more now, since we are justified
By the life of Him who bled and died
Safe from the wrath that was meant for me
Saved by His life, we are finally free
No longer marked by the weight of the fall
He answers our hearts when we hear the call
Peace with the Father, through the open gate
His love has conquered the hand of fate.

[Bridge]
We walk in the light as He’s in the light
No more the terror of the dark of night
The fellowship held in the sacred vine
Cleansed by the blood, a grace so divine
He washed us clean from every past stain
In the healing power of the Lamb who was slain.

[Chorus]
Oh, the blood, the crimson flood
That washed away the stains of sin
The life He gave, the soul to save
To let the light of heaven in
From the altar of the cross it flows
The deepest love that ever rose
Redeemed by the blood, we stand made whole
The anchor for the weary soul.

[Outro]
To Him who loves us, who set us free,
From all our sins by His own blood;
Our chains forever fell away,
Leading us from darkness into day.

To Him be the glory, 
the power, the crown,
For the King who laid 
all His majesty down.

Holy Fire: Keep Me Burning (Lyrics)

[Verse 1]
I kneel in awe before You alone, 
O Consuming Fire enthroned. 
With lifted hands, to You I cry 
For more of Your holy fire.  (Or For more holy fire in my life)

It's written down in Matthew and Luke 
I stand upon the Gospel of Truth 
Even as your prophet foretold 
So long ago in days of old

[Chorus]
I kneel in awe before You alone, 
O Consuming Fire enthroned. 
Set my mind on what You desire, 
Grant me more of Your Holy Fire. 
Fill my lamp with oil, I pray, 
Keep me burning until that Day.

[Verse 2]
Set my mind on what you desire
Grant me more of Your holy fire
Let it now consume my heart,
As You fulfill Your promised part.

You came to cast fire on the earth, 
And called me to a second birth.
Let holy fire purge my heart, 
The Spirit's flame You'll now impart.

[Chorus]
I kneel in awe before You alone, 
O Consuming Fire enthroned. 
Set my mind on what You desire, 
Grant me more of Your Holy Fire. 
Fill my lamp with oil, I pray, 
Keep me burning until that Day.

[Verse 3]
To you my body I'm giving 
As a holy sacrifice that's living.
Not to this world conformed, 
But now by you transformed.

Only total union with You,
May we be one and no longer two. 
Let the life of Christ flow through me 
Clear and clean as a mountain stream 

[Chorus]
I kneel in awe before You alone, 
O Consuming Fire enthroned. 
Set my mind on what You desire, 
Grant me more of Your Holy Fire. 
Fill my lamp with oil, I pray, 
Keep me burning until that Day.

[Bridge]
Though the world rejects your holy flame,
Let Your blazing fire in us remain.
Spirit of Grace, O holy flame,
Kindle a love that bears Your name.

[Outro]
Empty I come, oh make me new
Let holy fire burn through and through
Not a shadow but living light
Steadfast, burning through the night
