//**“Swing Low, Sweet Chariot”**//
 Swing low, sweet chariot, Comin' for to carry me home; Swing low, sweet chariot, Comin' for to carry me home. I looked over Jordan, And WHAT did I see, Comin' for to carry me home, A band of angels comin' after me, Comin' for to carry me home. //Repeat chorus:// If you get there before I do, Comin' for to carry me home, Tell all my friends I'm comin' too, Comin' for to carry me home.

//**"The Word is Alive" **//
Looking out from His throne, The Father of light and of men Chose to make Himself known And show us the way back to Him

Speaking wisdom and truth Into the hearts of peasants and kings He began to unveil The Word that would change the course of all things

With eyes wide open, all would see

The Word is alive And it cuts like a sword through the darkness With a message of life to the hopeless and afraid Breathing life into all who believe The Word is alive And the world and its glories will fade But His truth, it will not pass away It remains yesterday and forever the same The Word is alive

Simple strokes on a page Eternity's secrets revealed, Carried on from age to age It speaks truth to us even still

And as the rain falls from Heaven, Feeds the earth before it returns Lord, let Your Word fall on us and bring forth the fruit You deserve

With eyes wide open, let us see The Word is alive And it cuts like a sword through the darkness With a message of life to the hopeless and afraid Breathing life into all who believe The Word is alive And the world and its glories will fade But His truth, it will not pass away It remains yesterday and forever the same The Word is alive

(Spoken) The Bible was inscribed over a period of two thousand years In times of war and in days of peace By kings, physicians, tax collectors, farmers, fishermen, singers, and shepherds The marvel is that a library so perfectly cohesive could have been produced by such a diverse crowd Over a period of time which staggers the imagination Jesus is its grand subject, our good is its design, and the glory of God is its end

The Word is alive And it cuts like a sword through the darkness With a message of life to the hopeless and afraid Breathing life into all who believe The Word is alive And the world and its glories will fade But His truth, it will not pass away It remains yesterday and forever the same The Word is alive (the world and its glories will fade) The Word is alive (His truth it will not pass away) His Word is alive (His Word is alive, His Word is alive)

(Spoken) Jesus is its grand subject, our good its design, and the glory of God is its end

//"Every Man" //
 I'm the man with all I've wanted All the toys and playing games I am the one who pours your coffee Corner booth each Saturday

I am your daughter's favorite teacher I'm the leader of the band I sit behind you in the bleachers I am every man

I'm the coach of every winning team And still a loser in my mind I am the soldier in the airport Facing giants one more time

I am the woman shamed and haunted By the cry of unborn life I am every broken man Nervous child, lonely wife

Is there hope for every man' A solid place where we can stand In this dry and weary land Is there hope for every man'

Is there love that never dies Is there peace in troubled times Someone help me understand Is there hope for every man'

It seems there's just so many roads to travel It's hard to tell where they will lead My life is scarred, my dreams unravelled Now I am scared to take the lead

If I could find someone to follow knows my pain and feels the way The uncertainty of my tomorrow The guilt and pain of yesterday

Is there hope for every man' A solid place where we can stand In this dry and weary land Is there hope for every man'

Is there love that never dies Is there peace in troubled times Someone help me understand Is there hope for every man'

There is hope for every man A solid place where we can stand In this dry and weary land There is hope for every man

There is love that never dies There is peace in troubled times Will we help them understand Jesus is hope for every man

There is hope for every man A solid place where we can stand In this dry and weary land There is hope for every man

There is love that never dies There is peace in troubled times Will we help them understand Jesus is hope for every man

//"21 Guns" by Green Day //
Do you know what's worth fighting for? When it's not worth dying for? Does it take your breath away And you feel yourself suffocating?

Does the pain weigh out the pride? And you look for a place to hide? Did someone break your heart inside? You're in ruins

One, 21 guns Lay down your arms, give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I

When you're at the end of the road And you lost all sense of control And your thoughts have taken their toll When your mind breaks the spirit of your soul

Your faith walks on broken glass And the hangover doesn't pass Nothing's ever built to last You're in ruins

One, 21 guns Lay down your arms, give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I

Did you try to live on your own When you burned down the house and home? Did you stand too close to the fire Like a liar looking for forgiveness from a stone?

When it's time to live and let die And you can't get another try Something inside this heart has died You're in ruins

One, 21 guns Lay down your arms, give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky

One, 21 guns Lay down your arms, give up the fight One, 21 guns Throw up your arms into the sky, you and I
