1. Well Kept Sheep (John 10)
I lay down My life for the sheep
And I have other sheep that are not of this fold
I must bring them also
And they will listen to My voice
So there will be one flock, one Shepherd
For this reason the Father loves Me
'Cause I lay down My life that I may take it up again
No one takes it from Me
But I lay it down of My own accord
I have authority to lay My life down and to take it again
This charge I've received from My Father
I have power to lay My life down and pow'r to take it up again
No one takes it from Me
But I lay it down of My own accord
My sheep hear My voice
And I know them
And they follow Me
I give them eternal life
And they will never perish
And no one will snatch them out of My hand
My Father is greater than all
And no one can snatch them out of His hand
I and the Father are One!
2. State of Our Cities lyrics by Caleb Lee Sturgis (cf. Isaiah chapters 40-48, Psalm 2, Psalm 33:12, Isaiah 2:12-22, John 14:6)
From historic homes in downtown Charleston
To movie stars in Hollywood
From studious girls over in New Haven
To laboring lads here in Houston
Some take the Decalogue out of public life
Many scoff at the Pentateuch
Student killings rise, fidelity is cut in half
The vox populi praise golden calves
Still the Lord is not a cat among cats
The Lord is a Lion above rats!
From Austin to Juneau to Springfield to Washington
Ev'ry one will be judged by the Son
Some say that sodomy is a civil right
Murdering a child is a parent's choice
So bitter is sweet and dark is bright
Post moderns scorn the great Three One's voice
Not talkin' 'bout gettin' an elephant in the White House
Not about more donkeys in Congress
This nation's salvation is neither red nor blue
I think it all comes down to Filial rule
You see the Lord is not a cat among cats
The Lord is a Lion above rats!
From New York to Phoenix to Tulsa to Ann Arbor
We'll be condemned by God's anger
Yet the cross indemnifies
Thus flee hellfire
3. Shepherd, Bridegroom, Savior lyrics by Caleb Lee Sturgis (cf. Isaiah 53:6, Judges 21:25, Matthew 28:6, Hosea 1:2-3 & 3:1-5, Revelation 20:15)
We all like sheep had gone astray
Ev'ry man to his own way
We did what's right in our own eyes
And the law of God we despised
Yet in God's love He sent our Shepherd
Who for a time was struck down
But death could not hold Him, He rose from the grave!
Do you know His name?
Adulterers, we left His love
Worse than Gomer we were
Unfaithful to the Faithful One
Thus became defiled, divorced, and undone
Yet in God's love He sent our Bridegroom
Who laid down His life for His church
But death could not hold Him, He rose from the grave!
Do you know His name? Do you know His mighty name?
We wicked men deserved to die
For our crimes to the Most High
Unending, burning, punishment
Prepared for those who will not repent
Yet in God's love He sent our Savior
Perfect, full righteousness
But damned on Golgotha for sin not His own!
Do you know His name? The most worthy Jesus
4. Who is This King? (Psalm 24)
Lift up your heads, O gates
And be lifted up, ye ancient doors
That the King of glory may come in
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty
The Lord, mighty in battle
The Lord of hosts
He is the King of glory!
Lift up your heads
And be lifted up
5. Jesus Christ Saves! lyrics by Caleb Lee Sturgis (cf. Colossians 2:13-14, Proverbs 1:20-33, Acts 4:11-12, Romans 10:5-13)
I've broken my Lord's laws more times than I can count
He knows exactly who I am, what I've done, and what I'll do
I don't fully comprehend the price Christ had to pay
But I know my debt is fully paid
Wisdom shouts in the streets
She lifts her voice in the square
Shouting to fools, fools like me
And shouting to you, "Fear the Lord!"
Jesus Christ Saves!
He's the only One Who can die for your sin
Put your trust in Him
6. O, I Love Yahweh (lyrics adapted from Psalm 116)
O, I love the Lord
'Cause He's heard my voice
And He has heard my pleas for mercy
Yes, He inclined His own ear to me
So I'll call on Him
As long as I live
The snares of death encompassed me
The pangs of hell laid hold on me
I suffered distress and anguish
Then I called on the name of the Lord
"O Lord, deliver my soul!"
This I pray
Gracious and righteous is Yahweh
Our God is merciful!
Preserves the simple
When I was brought low He saved me
Return my soul to your rest
For the Lord has dealt bountifully with you
You delivered my soul from death
My eyes from tears
My feet from stumbling
I will walk before the Lord in the land of the living
7. The New Has Come lyrics by Caleb Lee Sturgis. (cf. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, 2 Corinthians 5:11-21, John 5:14, Philippians 1:6, Ephesians 2:1-3, 1 John 1:5-10, Jeremiah 9:26 & 31:31-34, Ezekiel 11:19-20)
There was a time when my life
Was nothing but prostitutes and pride
Seeking only temporal treasure
While ignoring eternal pleasure
And I could not clean up my act
In fact, I couldn't will a thing
Until the Lord took a hold on me
And turned my eyes tow'rd Calvary
If anyone is in Christ
He is a new creation
The old has passed away
Behold, the new has come
Sometimes I feel like my sin's a pack of wolves
Poised to tear me in the deep dark woods
'Til my Lord's Spirit roars like a lion
And makes my old nature cower frightened
I know, this fight is not easy
It's hard to make wickedness flee
Temptation to sin is strong, for sure
But Lord Jesus commands, "Sin no more."
If anyone is in Christ
He is a new creation
The old has passed away
Behold, the new has come
Through Christ we and God are reconciled
One died for all, therefore all have died
I'm sure of this, that God will sanctify
All the way 'til the day of Jesus Christ
Brethren, we once walked in darkness
But now we must walk in the light
God is light, in Him is no darkness at all
So confess your sins, get out of Satan's thrall
If anyone is in Christ
He is a new creation
The old has passed away
Behold, the new has come
Before Christ I was all depraved
Now I start to hate the sin I once craved
'Cause God circumcised my heart's foreskin
He chose to put His law within
8. Psalm 139
O Lord, You've searched me and known me
When I sit down, when I rise up
You understand my thought from afar
You scrutinize my path and lying down
Before there's a word on my mouth, O Lord, You know it all
Yes, I am fearfully and wonderf'lly made
You formed my inward parts and wove me in my mother's womb
No, the dark is not dark to You
Yes, the night and the light, they both are alike to You
The night is surely as bright as the day
And in Your book were all written the days You ordained for me
When as yet there was not one of them
How precious are Your thoughts to me, O God!
More vast than the sands of the sea!
O, and when I wake I'm still with You
O God, search me and know my heart
Try me and know my anxious thoughts
Lead me in the everlasting way
9. A Twig & Vine Dialogue lyrics by Caleb Lee Sturgis (cf. John 15)
The little twig to the big vine asked,
"Could you make me thicker?"
The big vine to the little twig said,
"First wait through the winter."
So the cold gusts blew, and the freezing snow fell
But the vine assured the twig all would be well
The snow melted
And the twig got thicker
The little twig to the big vine asked,
"Could you make me tougher?"
The big vine to the little twig said,
"First wait through the blizzard."
So the chilling ice grew and the hard hail came
But the vine assured the twig all the same
The hail thawed
And the twig got tougher
The little twig to the big vine asked,
"Could I be a loner?"
The big vine to the little twig said,
"You'd soon be a goner
"'Cause if you're cut off from me, then you're cut off from the root
And apart from me you can bear no fruit
Finally, you'd be thrown into the fire
Is that your desire?"
The little twig to the big vine asked,
"Will we stay together?"
The big vine to the little twig said,
"Both now until forever
"The vinedresser will prune you now in the temporal
And you'll look like me in the eternal
So abide in me, and I in you."
10. Safe Sleep (Psalm 4:8)
In peace I will lie down
And in peace I will sleep
For You alone, O Lord
Make me dwell in safety
11. 五饼二鱼 lyrics by Caleb Lee Sturgis & Jing Lin Sturgis (cf. Matthew 14:13-33 & 15:32-39, John 6:1-59, Luke 8:22-25, Philippians 2:9-11, Psalm 2, Revelation 19:11-21)
七饼几鱼喂四千
五饼二鱼喂五千
天父赐下真吗哪
使我唱"哈利路亚!"
波浪洪涛主沉睡
可祂不盹也不累
海水上面行如路
暴风听从祂吩咐
完全公义与圣洁
审判世界手秉铁
天上地下都匍匐
万王之王主耶稣！
Seven loaves, some fish, feed four thousand
Five loaves, two fish, feed five thousand
Heavenly Father sends down true manna
Makes me sing, "Halleluyah!"
Despite the waves, the Lord sleeps deeply
Yet He neither slumbers nor tires
Walks on the sea like a road
The fierce storm obeys His command
Completely righteous and holy
Judges the world with a rod of iron
All heaven and earth bow down
King of kings, Lord Jesus!
12. When the Master Comes lyrics by Caleb Lee Sturgis (cf. Revelation 16:15, Matthew 26:64, Acts 1:6-11, Revelation 22:20, John 5:25, Matthew 25:31-46, Luke 21:34-36)
O where will I be when the Master comes?
Will I be walking in the light?
Or sleeping in the night when the Master comes?
O where will I be when the Master comes?
Will I be wearing all my clothes?
Or naked and exposed when the Master comes?
I look forward to the day
When the Lord comes from the sky in righteous array
Surely He is coming soon
At His command all will come out of the tombs
Then He'll judge
O where will you be when the Master comes?
Will you be counted as a sheep?
Or counted as a goat when the Master comes?
I anticipate the hour
When the Lord comes from the sky in almighty pow'r
Friend, He's gonna have the final say
May He teach you and me to watch and pray and stay awake
No one knows the day
No one knows the hour
He's coming like a thief in the night
Yes, Jesus is coming soon!
