STORY:
Two of the Rebels – Stephen and Ananias – now step forward
out of the crowd to directly challenge Saul and his beliefs.
Saul begins to be tormented by voices from both
Heaven and Hell.
“God, is crossing the river ahead of you …
the church…enjoyed a time of peace and was strengthened … encouraged by the Holy Spirit, it increased in numbers…”
– from Deuteronomy 9:3 & Acts 9:31 (NIV)

LYRICS:
Yo – Saul
So let us spit this at ya
Oh brother are you comin’ to the church by the river
Lay aside your worries and your fears
Step inside and realize
Your life is crossin’ over
Brother now eternity is near
Brother now eternity is near
Sinner now
You’re standin’ right inside the Holy water
You’ve been swimmin’ strong alone against the tide
Can you hear it now the ringin’ of the old bell tower
Ringin’ loud for God is on our side
Ringin’ loud for God is on our side
Oh brother
Are you drinkin’ from the waters of the river
From the Spirit of the Son of the Great Life-Giver
Now all along the water
There’s a crowd begun to gather
For the journey home to heaven now my friend
Yes we’re headin’ there together come together hand in hand
We’re headin’ home together
Amen
Oh brother
Are you comin’ to the church by the river
Come along and join us at the church by the river
Sinner your salvation now is near
Cross the bridge to Heaven
Swim the banks along the river
The Holy Spirit’s comin’ ever near
Callin’ out to all who long to hear
Oh sinner
Are you drinkin’
From the waters of the river
From the Spirit of the Son
Of The Great Life Giver
Now all along the water
There’s a crowd begun to gather
For our journey home to heaven
Now my friend
Yes we’re
Headin’ home together
Yes together arm in arm
Lord we’re headin’ home together
Amen
Oh brother
Are you comin’
To the church by the river
Lay aside your worries and your fears
Brother now eternity is near
Are you comin’ brother
Oh brother
Are you comin’
To the church by the river
Lay aside your worries and your fears
Step inside and realize
Your life is crossin’ over
Brother now eternity is near
Amen
Brother now
Eternity is near
Amen
Oh brother
Are you comin’
Brother now
Eternity is near
Amen
Amen
To the church
By the river
(Voices from Heaven & Hell)
To the church
By the river
(Voices from Heaven & Hell continue...)
Angels: “This is the way…walk in it!”
Amen
