If you’ll only believe
Love will never leave you
True love never dies
Love will not deceive you
If you’ll only believe
Life is a
Tapestry we weave
And if you’ll just believe
If you‘ll only try
Don’t let love pass you by
Just believe
If you believe
If you’ll only believe
If you believe

If you believe I love you
Then girl make me smile
This livin’ alone ain’t got no style
‘Cause your eyes are so invitin’
And your lips are so excitin’

And your lips are so excitin’

LYRICS:
Everything I am
Everything I’ll be
When I consider everything
You’re everything to me
Everywhere I go
Everyone I see
When I consider everyone
You’re everything to me
Once upon a place
Once upon a time
I once believed my world was full
Before I made you mine
Once I found the one
You finally made me see
Now everywhere in all the world
You’re everything to me
Anyone who knows
Anyone who sees
Anyone who looks
For love
Will believe
Every time we touch
Every time you smile
Every time I dream of you
You make my life worthwhile
Every time you say
I’m yours forevermore
Everything I know is you
And all I am is yours
Anyone can know
And anyone can see
Anyone who looks
For love
Can believe
Everything I am
Everything I’ll be
When I consider everything
You’re everything to me
Everywhere I go
Everyone I see
When I consider everyone
You’re everything to me

LYRICS
The sun and moon above
Are the surest signs of our love
Our gift from God above – ‘til the end of time
So anytime you wonder why
Just look up and search the sky
The sun – the moon – and the stars on high
As the wind and rain turn to bright blue skies
His love flows like
A river from on high – for all time
Yes, we’ll keep our eyes on heaven
You and I
For His one
Sure sign

Can you feel the Spirit movin’
Can you touch the rush of the wind
Can you hear the thunder rollin’
As the storm comes crashin’ in

Tree On A Hill
03:47

LYRICS:
There’s a tree on a hill
Near old Jerusalem and
They say there a man I knew
Has died
But they say when he came here
He called me by name now thev've
Nailed him to a cross and
Had him crucified
On a tree
On a hill near
Old Jerusalem
They say he died
There’s a hole in the rock
Near old Jerusalem and they
Say there they lay his body down
But the say when they tried there
To seal him inside there the heavens
Shook and thunder rent
That holy ground
In a hole
In the rock near
Old Jerusalem
They laid him down
Still here
Within my soul
He’s callin’ – “Come on home”
But how can it be when
They’ve laid him in the ground
Yet a joy
Like I’ve never known
Is callin’ me – “Come On Home!”
Oh, how I’m longin’
To go home
Still I feel it
Deep within
I hear – He’s callin’
But how can it be when
They’ve nailed him to a cross
Yet a hope
Like I’ve never known
Is callin’ me “Come On Home!”
Oh, how I’m longin’
To go home

Come To Conquer Man
03:53
|
|||
LYRICS:
(Saul to Stephen):
Took a walk all alone just the other day
Wishing words could wash your guilt away
All through this sun and rain there beats a black refrain
Falling ever calling out your name
Children hide the truth in games they play
An old man can’t find youth or so they say
Still they won’t say why but every time you try
You pay the price for lyin’ when you die
A thousand fallen angels set loose across the land
No longer lost beneath the Dead Sea sand
Now they’ve come to conquer man
(Demons to Saul):
Satan served a madman up to Galilee
Drank unholy water from the foaming sea
Wrestled with the seven scepters
Brought defeat to Eden’s vectors
Settled for a death watch
For all time
Open up, oh, open up the garden grave
(Voice of Satan): "Open up the grave"
Mark the rising prophet by the souls you save
(Voice of Satan): "Open up the grave"
Turn around the star behind you
Lights a long dark lonely shadow
Hides a hidden headstone as a sign
(Saul to Stephen):
A thousand fallen angels set loose across the land
No longer lost beneath the Dead Sea sand
Now they’ve come to conquer man
(Saul to Stephen):
Took a walk one holy holiday
Wishing words could wash your guilt away
Through all
This sun & rain
Still beats a black refrain
Falling – ever calling out your name
Children hide the truth in games they play
(Voice of Satan): "Open up the grave"
An old man can’t find youth or so they say
(Voice of Satan): "Open up the grave"
Still they
Won’t say why
But every time you try
You pay the price for livin’ when you die
(Simultaneous – Demons to Saul):
Satan served a madman up to Galilee
Drank unholy water from the foaming sea
Wrestled with the seven scepters
Brought defeat to Eden’s vectors
Settled for a death watch
For all time
Open up, oh, open up the garden grave
(Voice of Satan): "Open up the grave"
Mark the rising prophet by the souls you save
(Voice of Satan): "Open up the grave"
Turn around the star behind you
Casts a long dark lonely shadow
Hides a hidden headstone as a sign
(Saul to Stephen):
A thousand fallen angels set loose across the land
No longer lost beneath the Dead Sea sand
Now you’ve come to conquer man
Conquer man
Conquer man
Conquer man

Brick By Brick
05:47
|

LYRICS:
Saul: You and your friends have the courage
to come here presuming to debate the Word of God!
Stephen: We’ve been called – not to debate
but to proclaim the Word of God
Stephen: Brick by brick – stone by stone – unless the Master builds your house you build it all alone – Word by Word – line by line – He says that He is comin’ soon – can’t you see the sign – inch by inch – yard by yard – He says his yoke is easy man, you’re easy livin’s hard – tick by tick – tock by tock – can’t you hear Him comin’ with each tickin’ of the clock
Saul: Don’t come here spewing your godless blasphemies, Stephen, I know you – and they’ve told me of your heresies – you’re in grave danger – consider this a serious warning
Stephen: You yourself have privately questioned these things!
Saul: Questioned? What is there to question?
Stephen: Stick by stick – wall by wall – unless the Master builds your house – your house will surely fall – step by step – time by time – the Master’s comin’ back again, oh yeah – He’s comin back again – He’s comin’ – He’s comin’ back again – can’t you see the sign
Stephen: Ohh – He’s comin’ – oh yeah I’m tellin’ you it’s true – ohh, the whole wide world keeps wonderin’ – If He’s comin’ – what’re you gonna do – He gave his life for you
Stephen: You forget, Saul, I know you too – better than most
Saul: So we played together as children, Stephen – boyhood friends
Stephen: Even if we live to be old men – you’ll never escape the truth
Saul: Escape? My life is dedicated to eliminating threats to the truth – threats from rebels like you
Stephen: Brother He’s comin’ – listen what I say is true – still this whole wide world keeps wonderin’ Is He comin’ back for me or you
Saul: Stick by stick – stone by stone – if you don’t end your blasphemies – you’ll die alone – inch by inch – yard by yard – these heresies are gonna end – or you’re gonna fall hard – rock by rock – bone by bone – you may believe I’m still your friend – but you’re on your own – just one last word ‘cause you’re out of time – you won’t be coming back again – can’t you see the sign
Stephen: It’s the very God you worship who has sent me to you, Saul, as His Messenger!
Saul: I warn you once again!
Stephen: Has your heart grown so cold – that you can’t hear the God of Heaven – can you not at least keep an open mind – and remain neutral long enough to entertain even the possibility…
Saul: No man is neutral with respect to God – I don’t understand you, Stephen – you were one of us
Stephen: I’ve changed and He’ll change you – He’s changing all of us!
Saul: Changed. Really.
Stephen: Yes. His story holds the power to change lives!
Saul: An ignorant carpenter – from Nazareth
Stephen: Yes! Exactly like the prophets said – and His story has the power to change your life…
Saul: The man was executed – a common criminal
Stephen: He’s The One we’ve been waiting for!
Saul: A simple peasant…
Stephen: He Is The Christ…! (Crowd reacts to this claim)
Saul: This Jesus has become an obsession with you, Stephen!
Stephen: HE IS THE CHRIST!
Stephen: Brick by brick
Saul: Stone by stone
Stephen: Unless the Master builds your house
Saul: You’re gonna die alone
Stephen: Word by word
Saul: Boy, you’re finally out of time
Stephen: He says that He is comin’ soon
Both: Oh, can’t you see the sign
Saul: Stick by stick
Stephen: Wall by wall
Saul: For you the end is comin’ now
Stephen: Oh, can’t you hear The Call
Saul: Stone by stone – it’s finally time
Stephen: The Master’s comin’ back again
Both: Oh, can’t you see the sign
Bystander: Here, hold my cloak!
Saul: (Takes the cloak and steps back into shadows)
Stephen: I see you, Saul – you can’t hide in the shadows – look, I see Heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God – Lord Jesus, receive my spirit – do not hold this sin against them – oh, Lord I see you comin’ – ohh – I see Him comin’
Crowd: Ohhh! – (Stephens body falls to the ground)
Saul To Bystander: You know, it’s a shame – he was a fine Hebrew…once – here – here’s your cloak.

Heart away but you can’t end life that way

They’ve been movin’ my mind around you better never say no
(Angels): Hey, peaceful dreamer – where you headin’ for
Don’t you know that train don’t stop here no more
No more, boy – we hear you got yourself a woman
Well, she’s fine – but don’t look back
You’re burnin’ too much fuel ‘bout to jump the track
Don’t look back, boy
(Saul & Sarah): Sunday mornin’ on my mind
Love this good-time-feelin’ so good – all the time
Soon I’m headin’ home – on this
Old Damascus Line
Yeah, Damascus
Boy, you’ve been good to me, girl
You got me dreamin’ of the finest woman
In the whole wide world
And when I get home I see her smilin’ face
I’ve made my mind up to leave this place
I can’t carry this load – I ain’t runnin’ this race – no more
(Saul): Damascus Highway – roll on to the sea
Got to live life my way, no, and I can’t be told
My heart’s too cold, now, to grow

They’ve been movin’ my mind around – you better never say no
(Angels): Hey, peaceful dreamer – get up you’ll miss the fun
You’ve been sleepin’ so late so long boy you’ve missed “The Son”
That’s no fun boy – you know we’ve seen you in the courtyard
So still so all alone – no more goin’ back to hold your lover
No more goin’ home – (Sarah) “Come on home, boy”

I ain’t runnin’ this race – no more
(Saul) I can’t take it no more, Lord
Oh, Damascus Highway – roll on to the sea
Gotta live life my way – no, I can’t be told
My heart’s too cold, now, to grow – got to get on
Got to get off – let me go

And something touched you inside
They stole your soul
And you threw your heart away

Can't You Hear The Call
02:07
|

LYRICS:
Can’t you hear
The Master’s comin’ now
Can’t you hear The Call
Heaven’s smilin’
No need to fear
He’s The Master after all
Callin’ out
Man to man
Go and reach ‘em all
Can’t you hear
The Master’s a-callin’
He’s handin’ you the ball
God is smilin’
No need to fear
If your guilt is great or small
Callin’ out
Tell the world, now
The writin’s on the wall
“Saul…Saul…why are you persecuting me?”
“Wha…Who…Where are you? Who are you…?
Satan…?…Stephen…?”
“No, Saul…”
Made His plan
To come and save us
Since long before The Fall
Sent His Son
To spread His Word
Tho’ it seems you can’t recall
The time is now
Gotta be His Voice
To the people one and all
Yeah
Times are changin’
Rearrangin’ – we got no time to stall
No time now
To be complainin’
He’s The Master after all
Got His Word
To be proclaimin’
Gotta go and tell them all
“Why are you persecuting me, Saul…?”
“Who are you, Lord…?
“It is I – The One you are persecuting…Jesus of Nazareth”
“Jesus of Nazareth…No!”
“Yes, Saul…someone must tell them…I’ve chosen you…”
“Not me, Lord…! No…!”
“Yes, you! … Arise now, Saul…It’s time…”
“How can I do this thing you ask!”
“You are the one…!”
“No…!”

LYRICS:
You came from out of nowhere – you came from out of time
You call to me to come join you – do you think I’ve lost my mind
I’m out here on the mountain – deaf and dumb and blind
Don’t call to me to come save them and all the rest of mankind
I’m lost
And runnin’
On borrowed time
Are you The Great Deceiver – or are you “The Great I Am”
I don’t know how you found me – I don’t know where I am
I’m out here on the mountain – a place they’ll never find
Don’t call to me – I can’t save them
The soul that needs savin’
Is mine
I’m lost
And runnin’
On borrowed time
I’m lost
And runnin’
On borrowed time
Yes, I’m lost
I can’t go back
I won’t go back
Never, never goin’
Never, never goin’
Back
No, no, no
Won’t go back
Can’t go back
Never, never goin’
Never, never goin’
Back
No, no, no

Goodbye sun – goodbye moon
Been lost so long now I’m gettin’ out oh, so soon
Goodbye Sarah – hello pain – hello to the wind
And the rocks and all this rain
Can’t turn around
To touch that stardust in her eyes
What I lived for once is gone – I fear I can’t go on
Just turn around one more time and she's
Gone away
Goodbye, Mother – so long, Dad
Goodbye to our home and our friends and the life we had
So long, Sarah and all our joy – goodbye to our love
And our dreams – now they’re all destroyed
Can’t turn around
To touch that stardust in her eyes
What I lived for once is gone – I fear I can’t go on
If I turn around one more time she'll be
Gone away
So long Sarah – hello pain
Hello to the rain and the wind
Goodbye to the places we’ve been
Goodbye to it all and I’m not comin’ back again
Goodbye sun (goodbye sun)
Goodbye moon (goodbye moon)
Goodbye

LYRICS:
An empty useless lifetime spent searching for my soul
While the players played I just stayed in the shadows alone
But nightmares in the night time now I’ve somehow lost control
As the river’s flow drags me ever so slowly along
Time
You’ve come to take me home
Now I find myself wishin’ I was gone
Lord I’m still so afraid that the price to be paid
Was never meant for just one lifetime – never knew it somehow
Lord, I’ll never get back now – in

LYRICS:
Mother: But it makes no sense – it can’t be true
Sarah: Oh, no – this cannot be
Father: He’s turned away from all he knew
Mother: He’s turned his back on you
Sarah: And me!
Crowd:
LIAR – He’s abandoned the truth
TRAITOR – So, now we’re all betrayed
TURNCOAT – We’re gonna hunt him down
THIEF – We’re gonna make him pay
Father: No, it makes no sense – this cannot be true
Mother: To add to our shock and shame
Father: Why, he’s not only changing his colors & cloak
He’s even changed his name (crowd gasps!)
Crowd:
LIAR – He’s abandoned his home
TRAITOR – His whole family’s betrayed
TURNCOAT – He can never return
THIEF – We gotta make him pay
The Rebels:
Now isn’t he the one
who had us on the run
Throughout all Jerusalem
And isn’t he the guy
Who wanted us to die
If we didn’t walk just like him
Father: I do declare it’s my final decree to last ‘til the end of time
Mother: This son of yours has disgraced us all
Father: He is no more a son of mine!
Crowd:
LIAR! TRAITOR! TURNCOAT! THIEF!
Destroyer of all you once were
How will you face your family and friends
And how will you ever face her
You can never return to your family again
Die – that’s what we prefer!
LIAR! TRAITOR! TURNCOAT! THIEF!
It’s the end of all that you were
LIAR – He’s abandoned our God
TRAITOR – Our tradition’s betrayed
TURNCOAT – He’s dead to us now
THIEF – Startin’ today
Sarah:
Where are you, Saul
Everything is changing
I don’t understand – what’s
Happened to you
The Rebels:
Now isn’t he the one
who had us on the run
Throughout all Jerusalem
And isn’t he the guy
Who wanted us to die
If we didn’t walk just like him
Sarah:
You should hear what they’re saying about you, Saul
What’s this twisting of your mind – it’s all so confusing
And if the strange stories they’re telling about you are true,
Then I don’t know what to believe
Must it all come down to you?
I don’t know if you can hear me, Saul,
I don’t even know if you’ll take the time
But you’ll lose everything we’ve worked for
And the love you’ll lose
Is mine
Ananias:
Feared by believers he suddenly loves
Hated by friends he once knew
He’s a man without a country, now
But determined to push on through
Convicted by God of his guilt
Convicted by men of his shame
Stripped by his family of all authority
But burnin’ inside with a new priority
With just his faith
In the promise of God’s only Son
One man with a conviction
Makes a majority
Of One
Sarah:
Why are you
doing this to me, Saul
Why?

LYRICS:
I was lookin’ for “The Way”
Strugglin’ through the night
Searchin’ for the truth
Lost along the way
Lookin’ for The Light
Stumblin’
Through the dark
Never had it right
Lost among the stars
Searchin’ for the truth
Lookin’ for The Light
I was
Lookin’ for the way
Strugglin’ through the night
Searchin’ for the truth
Lost along the way
Lookin’ for the light
I was
Stumblin’
Through the dark
Never had it right
Lost among the stars
Searchin’ for the truth
Lookin’ for The Light
And then
I heard a Voice
Callin’ through the night
Turned and saw a face
Saw the blinding Light
And there
I met The Man
Now finally it’s all right
Standing face to face
No more need to run
Finally found The Light
And then
I heard His Voice
Callin’ me through the night
Turned and saw His Face
Saw His blinding Light
I was
Lookin’ for "The Way"
I was strugglin’ through the night
Searchin’ for The Truth
Lookin’ for The Light
Searchin’ for The Truth
Lost along the way
Lookin’ for The Light
Lost along the way
I’ve been searchin’ for The Truth
I was lost along the way
Lookin’ for The Light
I’ve been lost
I’ve been searchin’
Lookin’ for The Light
Lookin’ for The Light
Lookin' for The Light
