VERSE 1
Many are they who proclaim My name
In the midst of the sanctuary
Some I say have lips of praise
But their heart is far from Me
Like children they are let away
By masters of deception
But it’s getting late so you’d better wake
Or face the reward of rejection
CHORUS
Oh, beware the false prophet
Who comes to you in a cloak of wool
He deceives the naive who believe he’s of Me
But behind the disguise lies the wolf
VERSE 2
Many claim to know Me
But do you listen to My voice?
Is he a shepherd or a thief
Do you know how to make the choice?
Just look at the people worshiping men
See the blind lead the blind
He tells them what they want to hear
And they can’t tell truth from lies
BRIDGE
Jesus warned the believers
Guard against deceivers
By their fruits shall ye know them
So look beyond what seems to be
How does he live behind the scenes?
VERSE 3
Can’t you read the prophesy?
Misleaders now are many
They tear the flock that God has bought
For power and for money
So get into the Word, the truth
Discover right and wrong
Try the ones you listen to
And know where they’re coming from
WOUNDED BIRD by Dave McIntosh (Living Water)
VERSE 1
Wounded bird, helpless on the ground
Hungry eyes watching, without a sound
A broken wing seals his destiny
Desperately in pain he tries to fly
Trying to regain his life in the sky
And as all hope begins to end
He feels a force lifting him
CHORUS
Little bit at a time, I’m risin’
Little bit at a time, I’m flyin’
Soarin’ up with the One I love
To the life He’s told me of
In His might I’m really tryin’
Leavin’ behind a life of cryin’
I can feel the healin’
Your will revealin’
VERSE 2
As he falls back to the earth again
Strength revives, he has felt the wind
The hand of love still lifts him up
Try after try he starts to climb
A little bit higher every time
And soon he’ll go on to his place
This home in the sky’s embrace
VERSE 3
Wounded bird, helpless on the ground
You don’t have to die, there is life to be found
There’s healing in His wings
So let Him heal you deep inside
You’ll stop running and learn to fly
And after living in His love
He’ll take you to your home above
ALICIA by Dave McIntosh (Living Water)
VERSE 1
Just yesterday we said "Good bye"
We didn’t know it’d be for such a long time
Your life was brief and full of pain
But where you are, you’ll never cry again
CHORUS 1
No more tears for you, Alicia
You’ve awakened in Jesus’ arms
Your struggling is through, Alicia,
So wait for us, we’ll be there with you (coming soon)
VERSE 2
Not long ago you came to know
The One who gives us all His love
Your wounded heart was being healed
And now your joy no one can steal
BRIDGE
So many hungry hearts
Just like yours, Alicia.
Oh may we lead them to the truth
So they can find Him, just like you
CHORUS 2
No more tears for you, Alicia
We love you, we love you
Oh let us find all those Alicias
Take their hand, and love them too
JUST A GLIMPSE AWAY by Silverman, King, McIntosh
(Living Water)
Heaven was just a glimpse away
You were almost at the gate
How could you turn back to
Those unchristian ways?
You turned your back on Me
For more important things
The day came suddenly
You’ve lost eternity
Forevermore My joy rewards the wise
No tears are in their eyes
But yours will never dry
You’ve let the chance slip by
The faithful now are safe at home
Rejoicing ‘round the throne
You’re weeping all alone
You’re reaping what you’ve sown
And I saw the dead, small and great
And a book was read, on the judgement day
Those who were not found written down
Were cast into a fiery lake...
Time after time I called you out from your sin
All the things you had your pleasure in
Now you can see, the record’s clear
At every stage, my voice you shunned to hear
Though you mourn and weep, there is no retreat
Now we must part eternally
In the city of the Son
The feast has just begun
But you can’t hear their song
You've waited just too long
There God shall dwell with men
And they will reign with Him
But those who lived in sin
Will never enter in
And I saw the saved, the bride of Christ
On that wedding day, adorned in white
Those who’ve overcome, their battles won
Now take the prize, eternal life
