From the CD, "Crack the Sky"
Crack the Sky Words and music by Rick Crow V.1 Sometimes at night I close my eyes with a wish Sometimes I wonder if I'd ever been missed If You came for me If You came for me I've never asked You for a whole lot of things I've never begged You for the riches of kings But I've one request And I hold it up to You CHORUS Come on and crack the sky for me Come on and crack the sky and take me home Tonight V.2 I know You've got me where You want me to be I know You've got a plan to use even me But I long for You I long for You So now I'll work until You're ready for me But I don't know if I can guarantee That I'll never cry Never try to get to You CHORUS Matthew 24:27, Revelation 19:11-16 Copyright © 1987 Arlose Music/ASCAP Love God, Hate Sin V.1 It's not conservative I'm asking you to be But I don't think that you should try to be like me You must make up your mind What are you gonna do? You would have to be a fool To not see what is true CHORUS Love God, Hate Sin Refuse to lose, live to win Love God, Hate Sin V.2 It's not a liberal I'm asking you to be But I don't think a suit and tie are gonna set the world free You must use your own mind Not the one that's on T.V. It comes down to holiness And true integrity CHORUS V.3 It's either black or white so don't look for gray The lights are flashing "keep out" where you want to go play Religion makes it harder With its prisons and its rules But in the end you're either with the wise men or the fools CHORUS Psalm 97:10, Romans 12:9 Closer Than a Heartbeat V.1 You know my thoughts and my intentions You know the purpose of my heart Before I speak, You know the words I'll say You know my needs before I even pray CHORUS You stay close to me (Closer thatn a heartbeat) I'll stay close to You (Closer and closer, I need to get closer) You stay close to me Closer than a heartbeat V.2 I know that there is no hiding From Your guiding hand 'Cause through the dark Your love has made a way You saw my life before I lived a day CHORUS BRIDGE And when I ride the morning wind To distant sea I'm so glad that CHORUS Psalm 139, Jeremiah 23:23,24 Give It Up V.1 I'm gonna make it simple I must be understood 'Cause what I've got to tell you Is for your own good BRIDGE Find the One who loves you Let Him change your mind Give yourself to Jesus Leave your 'self' behind CHORUS Give it up - Give it up to Jesus Give it up - You've got to give it to the King Give it up - Give it up to Jesus Give it up - You've got to give Him everything V.2 There's no need to worry It's easy if you know Tension cannot get to you If you let it go BRIDGE - CHORUS Luke 9:23-25, Romans 12:1-2 I Belong Words and music by Don and Karen Peris V.1 In mirrors I have seen Your face Your voice can reach me anywhere And I begin to turn away But You just turn me back again CHORUS And I belong Yes, I belong To You, oh Lord my God V.2 The wind could never be this strong The thunder never be this loud And there's no place for me to hide When Jesus calls me I am found CHORUS BRIDGE Why am I so complacent? Why do I waste my time? Getting lost inside myself and straying from Your side CHORUS Romans 1:6,1, I Peter 2:9 Let Me Be the One V.1 So many times I refused to share About your love and the way You care 'Cause in my heart I was just afraid To tell my friends of the price You paid BRIDGE Who will You send - if I don't go? How will they learn" - They've got to know The time is short - I just can't wait They need to see - Before it's too late CHORUS Let me be Let me be the one To share the love Of Your only Son V.2 Everywhere I go, You gotta tell me what to say Without Your Word, I just get in Your way Just let them hear, so they know it's You Let them see that Your Word is true BRIDGE - CHORUS Isaiah 6:1-8 Reach for the Sky V.1 When you're in a situation With only one way out If you trust His reputation He'll take away your doubt You can call on His name And He'll stand right by your side And He will help you To fight the fight and win the race With power and might to crush the night CHORUS Lift your voices Reach for the sky Heaven rejoices Reach for the sky Sing His praises Reach for the sky Share His graces Reach for the sky V.2 Open up communication Let your heart be known You don't need an invitation To come before His throne And receive His grace and mercy His strength in time of need And He will help you To fight th fight and win the race With power and might to crush the night CHORUS BRIDGE If you believe that He is worthy You won't have to wonder why Those who sit in heavenly places Are reachin' for the sky CHORUS I Timothy 2:8, Hebrews 4:16 Heart on Fire V.1 Waitin in the dark Looking for a spark of light Quiet on the street Shouting in the heat of night Empty heart and mind Reaching out for truth I'm running out of time I can't waste my youth CHORUS Then He set my heart on fire With sparks that flew from iron hitting iron Heart on fire With sparks from iron hitting iron V.2 Dancing in the street Giving life a chance to start Fire burning bright Cut the Light on in my heart Full of love and faith I've gotta tell the truth Making up for time I wasted in my youth CHORUS BRIDGE He'll keep this fire burning as long as I believe Love is in the learning And I'm learning on my knees CHORUS Proverbs 27:17 For My Growing (Duet with Carole Ford) Words and music by Carole Ford V.1 I guess I must appear so brave and so strong But even the strong need someone to cry their songs to Someone who feels the disappointment And fading visions of grandeur Who knows that the strong are often children and unsure Who have to endure CHORUS Jesus although I may stand these storms Like I'm made out of stone You hear the songs that I cry When I'm weary and all alone You see the years that have come too fast And the pain that goes so slow Yet like rain to a garden When the ground becomes hardened I know You're using it all to help me grow V.2 I have to be a beacon, strong and shining Your light I know that beacons can't ever be weary Or frightened of the night So I seek You even through these songs And I wait for You to hear me And I know that You are going to answer Despite my trembling and my fear I just need to feel you near me CHORUS 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 All words and music by Mylon LeFevre, Scott Allen, Kenneth Bentley, Ben Hewitt, Paul Joseph and Joe Hardy except where noted.
