#01  The Better Life

IN09

SUHC01

(The Band in 2005)

My dream used to be to own a house with a window

Big enough for me to see my Mercedes and my sailboat

Two kids playing in the yard

My wife laying by the pool

Me sitting in my favorite chair telling myself, “Life is good”

I want the better life … someday it will be here

I want the better life … well maybe next year

I want the better life, I want the better life for me,

I want the better life, I want the better life for me,

I want the better life, I want the better life for me,

… and I want it all for free!

My dream used to be

To own a house with a window

Big enough for me to see

The world living in freedom and peace

Steaks are cookin’ on the grill

It’s so good to have Sunday’s free

Absolutely nothing to do but watch the Lakers on T.V.

I want the better life …

And then I said a prayer

I said, “Jesus, are You really there?”

And He said, “Yes!”

And I said, “Oh …”

“Can you beat this dream of mine?”

And He said, “I am not playing that game.

Enter by the narrow gate,

For the gate is wide and the way is broad

That leads to destruction

And many are those who enter by it.

For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life

And few are those who find it.

You are from below

I am from above.

You are of this world

I am not of this world

But he who believes in Me as the Scriptures said

From his inner-most being shall flow rivers of living water.

You want the better life?

Can’t you see you’ve been deceived?

You want the better life?

Lose your life … follow Me!”

I found the better life,

I found the better life for me.

I found the better life,

I found the better life for me.

I found the better life …

In fact the better life found me!

Oh … and it was all for free!

And now my dream’s complete

And I’m the richest man around

My eyes are opened up to see

That I was lost but now I’m found

I’ve got purpose … it’s clear to see.

No fear of death to bring me down.

My eyes are fixed on eternity

And Jesus will get me there safe and sound.

I found the better life …

And it is here right now!

#02  It’s Now!

IN02

SUHC02

(The Band in 2005)

Something’s here, I can feel it inside

Some will receive it, others run and hide

Lose your pride

Something’s changed, and have you heard

What God’s Spirit is saying by His Word?

Have you heard?

All my life I have prayed

That I could live here in these Last Days

And all my life I have prayed

To see Revival come to this place.

We’ve heard it’s coming

Yes, we’ve heard it’s coming

We’ve been told its coming

Let me tell you … IT’S NOW!

#03  Saved by Love

IN01

SUHC03

(The Band in 1998)

Ooh … love … love

Your answer my friend is clear

You can know it if you have ears to hear

This world left God’s perfect plan

Now what’s left is sinking sand

Saved by love … saved by love!

Saved by love …

Ooh … love … love

Your answer my friend is clear

You can know it if you have ears to hear

This world’s dying and we are too

God is trying to save you

Saved by love … saved by love!

Saved by love …

Seek Him … find Him

… Turn around … believe

… See Him … hear Him

… He’s revealed

#04  Always There

IN11

SUHC04

(The Band in 1998)

A child in a crowd, many voices all around

Alone but not lost, His Father watches,

He knows the cost … He knows the cost

This child teaching men in the Temple, amazing them

His mother full of fear, “Oh Mary, don’t you know

My Son would be here with Me? Right here with Me?”

His Dad was always there

His Dad was always there

His Dad was always there

His Dad was always there

A young man in a crowd, another man baptizing people all around

A voice comes from Heaven from a Father to His Son,

“This is My Son, this is My Son!”

A cross on a hill, people crying, others standing still

A cry from a Son to His Father,

“Don’t you leave Me now! Don’t leave Me now! No …”

… My child I’ll always be there.

My child I’ll always be there for you (2x’s) … if you want Me too …

… I’ll never leave you … alone

Now my Dad is always there for me, my Dad is always there.

Now my Dad is always there for me,

My Dad is always there.

#05  Get Me Home!

IN13

SUHC05

(The Band in 2005)

Do you know the way?

Do you know the Truth?

Can you find me the true way to life?

Can you turn on the light?

In this darkness I fight.

Can you shine ‘till my blindness can see?

Can you get me home?

Can you get me home?

Can you get me home?

Child, I promise I would not leave you an orphan

Child, I told you I’m building you a home.

Child, I promise that where I go you will come.

Sooner or later I’m going to get you home … home …

Will You show me Your Way?

Will You show me Your Truth?

Will You show me Your True Way to Life?

Will You forgive my sin, will You let me come in

To the House where True Love always dwells?

Will You get me home?

Will You get me home?

Will You get me home?

Child I promise I would not leave you here … alone

#06  Why Us?

W01

SUHC06

(The Band in 1998)

Why? …

Why don’t we love in this world?

Why do we hate and kill each other?

Why is there sickness and disease?

Will someone answer me?

And why can’t I stop my tears?

And why can’t I shake my fear of living here?

Why can’t Marriage last a lifetime?

Why are the fathers never there?

And why do our children grow up wondering,

Wondering if they care?

And why is it so unfair for anyone living down here … down here?

#07  Why You?

W05

SUHC07

(The Band in 1998)

Why? …

Why did You so love this world?

Why when You knew our way to kill You?

Why did You heal all our disease?

Oh God please answer me!

And why did You shed Your tears

For anyone living down here?

Why did You have to die?

Why did You let them lie about You?

Why did You suffer all the shame

When You never were to blame?

And why is it so unfair for anyone living down here … down here?

#08  I Won’t Forget You

W02

SUHC08

(The Band in 1998)

I won’t forget you My children

When I’m far away, far away

I call you friend, don’t you remember

My love, come be with Me

Where I go you know, don’t you remember

I Am the Way, I’ve made a Way for you

Don’t forget Me when I’m far away

Come be My friends, come be My friends

I won’t forget you

I can’t forget You, my Jesus

When I’m far from You, far from You

Your grace Your truth, I will remember

Your love has saved my soul

You make me whole now and forever

In Your mercy, You are the Way for me

I can’t forget You when I’m far away

I’ll be Your friend, I’ll be Your friend

I won’t forget You

(Lyrics by Kellam Beard, Music by Kehrt)

#09  Found

W07

SUHC09

(The Band in 2005)

Can true love be found?

Why is it not around?

Will I ever love like what comes from above?

‘Cause I want love to come down

I want love to come down

Yes I want love to come down … to me

Help me see Your love for me

Do not be afraid

For from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this

And humbling yourself before your God

Your words were heard!

And I have come in response to your words

Let His love be found … (repeat)

Father said, when you seek Him

He will be … found

Let His love be found!

#10  You Were There

W04

SUHC10

(The Band in 2005)

Falling down

I’ve been crashing to the ground

But You were there, You were there

Loving arms reaching through my storm

You were there, You were there

Eyes that cry for so many things in life

You were there, You were there

When will You realize that far from perfect is my life … Oh …

I thought by now that You would surely leave

I thought by now You’d forget about me

But You were there, You were there

You were there, You were there … You were there

Unfaithful vow

So what will happen now

But You were there, You were there

Unfathomable love

A Gift You said from up above

You were there, You were there

A time of shame

Many reasons here to blame

You were there, You were there

When will You realize that far from perfect is my life … Oh …

#11  Fellowship With God

IN12

SUHC11

(The Band in 2005)

Lord I’m really glad You’re here with me today

And since I have the chance, I want to praise Your Name

Lord I’m really glad You’re here with me today

‘Cause when I’m feeling sad, I love to hear You say,

“Son you’re coming home soon. And no, it won’t be long.

But since you’re here today, I’ll be right there with you.

So, come take My hand, come take My hand child,

Come take My hand today.”

Lord I’m really glad You’re here with me today

It sure is good to know You answer when I pray.

Lord I’m really glad You’re here with me today,

‘Cause when I’m alone with You, I love to hear You say,

“Son you’re coming home soon. And no, it won’t be long.

But since you’re here today, I’ll be right there with you.

So, come take My hand, come take My hand child,

Come take My hand today.”

… Father, thank You for sending Your Son

Even though He was Your only ONE.

Father, thank You for hangin’ around me today,

‘Cause when I’m feeling happy, I love to hear You say,

“Son you’re coming home soon. And no, it won’t be long.

But since you’re here today, I’ll be right there with you.

So, come take My hand, come take My hand child,

Come take My hand today.”

#12  Exodus 21

IN10

SUHC12

(The Band in 2005)

I’m just a man who loves You Master

And I don’t choose to go free

I’m just a man who loves You Master

‘Cause slavery to You is freedom to me.

I’m just a man who loves You Master

And I lay down my life

I’m just a man who loves You Master

Spend me anyway You like

Take me to the door

Put my ear on the doorpost

And grab hold Your awl

And pierce my ear as a testimony

That I am Yours, that I am Yours

And I will serve You, Jesus

I will serve You permanently

I’m just a man who loves you Master

For You helped me to see

I’m just a man who loves You Master

I want to become Your image of me

I’m just a man who loves You Master

For You gave me my life

I’m just a man who loves You Master

I’m staying with You

I’m never saying goodbye!

#13  Hell Give Them Back!

IN08

SUHC13

(The Band in 1998)

Where is the courage and the faith?

Where is the hope that makes you great?

Where is the promise and desire?

Where is the passion with fire?

Hell has taken hold of the precious things you sold

But Heaven can get them back!

Where are the dreams we had?

Hell give them back!

Where are our children now enslaved?

Hell give them back!

Where are our families that need saved?

Hell give them back!

Where are the resources we lack?

Hell give them back!

Where are the promises of our God?

Hell give them back!

#14  Lazarus Arise!

IN03

SUHC14

(The Band in 2005)

Ooh …

Did I not say if you only believe

The glory of God you shall see and receive

Did I not say I’m resurrection and life

He who believes shall live even if he would die

Wake up Lazarus!

It’s not time to come home

For the ONE who said, “Let there be light!”

Says, “Remove the stone!”

Son do you know where you are?

Son do you know who is talking to you?

Son does your heart burn inside?

Son do you know who is walking next to you?

Oh …

For these are the days when the Lord will reign

For these are the days when we see His power

And these are the days when our lives will change

For these are the days when God’s faithful seize the hour!

Ooh …

The First and the Last, who was dead now alive,

Says, “Receive My words, Lazarus arise!

For when I raised Lazarus that’s not all I can do

I’ve raised from My grave, I will raise you up too!

And now I am coming for all of mankind

To heal your disease and give sight to the blind … Oh …

For these are the days when the Lord will reign

For these are the days when we see His power

And these are the days when our lives will change

For these are the days when God’s faithful will ARISE!

Arise … arise from the dead … today!

SUHC16

Heaven, Heaven

Someday in Heaven

No more crying, no more dying

No more suffering, no more pain

In Heaven

#17  Jesus Said It I Believe It

IN06

SUHC17

(The Band in 1998)

Jesus said it I believe it

I believe His word is true

There’s no other one to hope in

Jesus said, therefore I do

The world listens to someone else

That’s why they have to die

They’ll never get to Heaven following the “father of lies”!

Some will rise and meet Jesus in the sky

But those who fall will join the “father of lies”

Some will hear, Jesus will wipe away their tears

But those who fall will cry with the “father of lies”

… And their tears will never dry

#18  I Will Follow With My Life

IN07

SUHC18

I must know You, know You (2x’s)

God if You’re alive

I want to hear it

From the witness of Your Spirit in my life

God if You’re alive

I want to know it

Show it by Your resurrected life

God if You’re alive

I’m gonna follow

Wherever You go with my life

With my life

My life … is it my life?

Send Your message to my loved one’s back home

… I’m going to follow with my life …

… Your life … yes, it’s Your life

Send Your message to my loved one’s back home

#19  Time For You To Come Home

W03

SUHC19

(The Band in 1998)

It’s time for you to come home

I miss you so, you’ve got to know

My door is open, knock and see

I’ll be standing there, you can count on Me

When you left you broke some things

And it’s gonna take, Jesus to make

Our house into a home

To build and not destroy

Providing love that fills up every void

It’s lonely on your own

It’s time to come on … home

You’re not the same since you left Me friend

It’s time for you to see again

The things you’ve got your heart set for

They don’t seem to satisfy you anymore

Where your treasure is your heart will be

Well, your treasure is right here with Me

It’s here for you to see

If you’ll still believe

The way it was supposed to be

Do you still believe?

It’s time again, to see

And you can never forget

How it felt to be here by My side

And you can never forget

How I understood each thing you cried

And you can never forget

The love I have for you inside

And you can never forget

How I gave to you My heart to break

But you won’t make that same mistake

There’s plenty room inside My heart

#21  Come Through The Son

W08

SUHC21

(The Band in 2005)

Come through the Son!

At the end of the day

Every person must pray

To cross the Great Divide

For there is no man on earth

Who has ever preserved

Godliness inside

So, God looked down

With love all around

And said, “I will come Myself.”

So, at the end of the day

Every person may pray

To cross the Great Divide

So come

Come through the Son (Repeat)

At the end of the day

Every person must pray

To cross the Great Divide

Jesus made it so clear

There was nobody here

With eternal life inside

So, God made a Way

Where there was no Way

And said, “Follow Me you’ll find.”

That at the end of the day

You can be home to stay

In the House that I’ve designed

So come

Come through the Son (Repeat)

(Bridge)

Come on through to the other side

Where hope replaces sorrow

If we refuse holding to our pride

The Son will set, tomorrow …

… And He’s gone (He’s gone … He’s gone …)

Come through the Son (Repeat until the end)
