Newsboys Album

Step by step
Day by day
You have changed my world
I am a Kingdom man

I heard the birds a singing
Saw the flowers
in the field
Thy heart was all on fire
With that moment I did yield
I shout it form the rooftop
Shout it from the hills
I'm now a new creation
I have found my way

Step by step
Day by day
You have changed my world
I am a Kingdom man

Jesus lifted me out of the miry day
He stood me on a rack
And that's where I will stay
Ma name is down in heaven
No man can take it out
The Word of God is true
It casts out all the doubt

There was a time
When time was mine
I never lived for you
I couldn't see
That you and me
Were ever meant to be

Chorus
You and me were meant to be
You had a plan but I couldn't see
You and me were meant to be
You had a plan but I couldn't see

I looked today
And saw the way
The way I used to be
Your hand reached out
You lifted me
From the miry day

- Chorus -

You and me were meant to be
You got a plan and now I see

Shipwrecked on the rocks of pride
Shipwrecked on the rocks of fear
My heart is torn apart when you're not here
Life goes by like a dream
When we die will it seem
That our hearts weren't always on the One
Chorus
One heart, one mind, one soul
One heart, one mind, one soul
One heart after You

There are hearts undecided
Some are hard and subdivided
A heart couldn't break the chains on me
Let me plow up the ground
Make it so I can see
I want to grow, I want Your love in me

Chorus

Well I was shipwrecked on the rocks, the rock of pride
Slowly and surely, in came the tide
Life goes by like a dream
When we die will it seem
That our life was wasted by the things we tasted
Wake up, wally, it's time to face it
Lifting Jesus up makes me feel up

Chorus

You say My love goes away
I say it's there forever
I know you'll see the day
That love will leave you never
I wait around the river bend
Lead Me through the rapids ahead
And when the waters rise
I'll be there

I can be the One you turn to
I'm not a god of wood or stone
Trust in Me and I will show you
My love will never leave you alone

Don't let your faith be shattered
Stand firm on that shaky ground
Reach out, give your praise to Me
Let Me take your heavy burden

I see the time ahead
I stop the danger in the night
I know your breaking strain
I'll be there

I can be the One you turn to
I'm not a god of wood or stone
Trust in Me and I will show you
My love will never leave you alone

Like a moth drawn to the flame
I am drawn to the mighty name of Jesus
Like a deer that pants for water
My heart cries out to You to fill my life with all of You

Bridge
It's You I want to strengthen me
For all the days of my life

Chorus
How could I have ever lived without Your precious love
How could I expect to carry on
You give love that soothes fire that burns within my soul
And You will always send it 'round my way

Through a shadow will pass away
Your love for me will stand the test of time
When You fill me with Your water
My hands reach out to You to touch my life with all of You

Bridge
It's You I want to strengthen me
For all the days of my life

- Chorus -

Lord, I pledge the highest
The highest that can be from a heart

Bridge
It's You I want to strengthen me
For all the days of my life

- Chorus -

na na na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na na na na

Chorus
taste and see that the Lord is good
taste and see He's so good for you
taste and see that the Lord is good
taste and see He's so good for you

for the light will bring to all
a harvest good and plenty
but for those who don't, don't believe it,
their life will still, will still be empty

- Chorus -

don't let yourself, yourself be taken
by the foolish words of men
they say that God is oh-so tasteless,
but they've never tasted Him

na na na na na na na na na na na
na na na na na na na na na na na

Rap:
Ah! I gotta express
my point of view
To the world.
So I'm tellin' you.
Newsboys
are here in effect
with the Word of God,
and so you'd better check us out.
We're Christians.
You know what I mean.
Full-bustin' a rap
with the Holy Ghost scene.
Throwing down the truth,
as a matter of fact.
Step up, homie,
it's a sanctified rap.

Christians?!
You betcha.
And if you wanna know,
I'm gonna let ya
that the power of God
has taken over my life.
And give your life to Him
and it will get ya...

- Chorus -

We live a life
Day by day
A walk of faith
Not by sight
We generate, permeate
Close the gate
On the dirty devil
The day will come
When we are told
If we are righteous
By the Lord of old
A sacrifice complete in Him
We're here today
But we're gone tomorrow

Chorus
We will not be silent
We will not stand alone
We will not be silent
We will not stand alone

All God's people
Hand in hand
Divided we fall
United we stand
Your Kingdom come
Thy will be done
Here on earth
Like it is in heaven
Heaven and earth will pass away
But Your Word
Will stand forever
Eternal life is in our reach
Eternal hell is not that funny

- Chorus

It's a funny thing getting a song from the Lord
You feel His power and the revelation flow
Then there are people who tell you it's not cool
To mention Jesus or lift up His name

Chorus
Newsboys will sing aloud
Sing unto the King of kings
Newsboys will dance, dance, dance
Before the Lord

Don't matter what the magazines have said before
What they say carries no weight in heaven
There's only one God we aim to please
And that's our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ

- Chorus -

And so these people talk like there's nothing in His name
The unsaved will only turn away (that's what they say)
I know they can't be talking 'bout my Jesus
Because there's power, power in His name

- Chorus -

when I think of love
I think of You
when I think of You
I think of forever
I'm like a child in Your arms
I feel so loved by You

Chorus
stay with me a while
stay with me a while
oh, stay with me
stay with me a while
stay with me a while
oh, stay with me
You are my heart's desire

we walked the desert night
I felt Your fire strong
Your glory comes to me
living water will set me free
pour out Your Spirit now
eternal springs, heal me

- Chorus -
You are my heart's desire

stay with me
we can walk the furthest mile
water me
for you are my heart's desire
stay with me
we can walk the furthest mile
water me
for you are my heart's desire
whoa

Rap/Bridge
the fountains of the world
are so bitter to me,
but the water that You give
flows so generously
when You give it so freely,
it will never end
for there's not
a broken heart
that Your love can't mend
I traveled to the East,
back to the West
and discovering Your love
was an answer to tests

stay with me a while
stay with me a while
oh, stay with me
stay with me a while
we can walk the furthest mile
you are my heart's desire
you are my heart's desire
I am Your own

Rise up and shine, oh nation of Israel
Don't you know you are the apple of His eye
Rise up in power, you chosen people
It's time for you to take your wings and fly
Rise up and shine
Your hour has come

Chorus
End times are coming
I know you'll go the distance
End times are here
I know you will not fall

All nations will sound up in these final days
They come from everywhere just to see you fall
Keep your eyes fixed upon the mighty Saviour
Don't let your heart despair at all

Rise up and shine
Your hour has come

- Chorus -
