It's a part of me deeper than my veins and arteries The heart of me past the marrow and bone molecule and soul are sown The art it me reflected through every part of me brings me hard onto my knees I am not my own heart and flesh before the throne I've got a whole lot of spirit building up in me I've got a whole lot of spirit building up in me I've got a whole lot of spirit building up in me In the name of the word and flesh I'm set free Matter and molecules molecules matter Body serves soul not the soul to the latter Separate one then you separate the other Two serve one soul father body mother Dust will return to the dust that it came from But the same sword of the word that divides them raises up the body seed that is sown regenerate flesh reunited to the soul I've got a whole lot of spirit building up in me I've got a whole lot of spirit building up in me I've got a whole lot of spirit building up in me In the name of the word and flesh I'm set free

For Victims 03:20
I will not be your victim but these chains you've place on me cannot be shed by the hands of man only by the blood shed on the tree (x2) You can't control our behavior or isolate us again Who I am is not defined by who you say I am The blame for what you've done it will not fall on me But someones got to carry this weight cause it's robbing all of my peace Hate in response to hate begets hate Love puts an end to the death hate makes (x2) I will not be your victim but these chains you've place on me cannot be shed by the hands of man only by the blood shed on the tree (x2) This fight was never a fair one and unsought it was lost but we're no longer the victims we're survivors of that cost We may not lose the memory but the damage that was wrought Can be redeemed from hatred to the right grief of that loss Hate in response to hate begets hate Love puts an end to the death hate makes (x2) It's not your fault, It's not your fault It was never your fault It's not your fault, It's not your fault It was never your fault I will not be your victim but these chains you've place on me cannot be shed by the hands of man only by the blood shed on the tree (x2)

a fiery wind. speaking in the languages of other men, crowd in the streets in awe and confusion, Galilean men in Jerusalem, spoke languages of lands to which they have never been, Peter stands up call for attention, men will dream dreams and sons have visions, The savior has come with salvation, to deliver the world from death and corruption, believe in his name crooked generation, for the name of

things that will come to be, To the churches of Asia grace and peace, from the firstborn of the dead the true King By whose blood we are children and priests, to the one who was and is and will be, John sees a man and falls at his feet, more than a man and to death has the key, Seven Stars seven churches and a mystery, the one who conquers will eat from the tree tree of life, some will not go free, some bow to Baal and immorality, Some hearts cold and some hearts see, Hold to your first love hold to Me, I knock at the door open up and see, I will come in and with you I will eat, John looks to heaven sees glass like a sea, One on a throne round the throne others seats, Creatures with eyes whose cries never cease, to say Holy Holy Holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who is and is to come the elders speak, Worthy are you to receive Glory, for through you and by you were created all things, Seven sealed scrolls` who will open it and bring, Forth what it is to come no weeping, worthy is the Lamb of honor and blessing, to open the scroll all fall before the King, Thousands of thousands and myriads sing, of the one who was slain for the ransoming, of the people of the earth from deaths dark sting, the Lion of Judah begining and ending First scrolls seal is broken open, voice like thunder from the creature cries come, behold a white horse and a rider on him, bow and crown to conquer are given, second seal red horse peace taken, no peace on earth and man slays man, third seal black horse scales in hand, of the rider making food scarce all through the land fourth seal death bringing Hades rode and ran, on a pale horse wreaking desolation fifth seal opened souls cry to be avenged, for their blood shed when they spoke of God to men sixth seal earthquakes sky is rent, moon blood red stars fall man spent Chosen of Israel sealed and sent, a great multitude brought from every nation, saying only from the Lamb comes salvation, God on the throne blessing glory wisdom, thanks and honor and power Amen, forever and ever and ever and again, SING PART And he will guide them to the springs of life, and God will wipe away the tears from their eyes, Seventh seal opened and a silent spell, half of an hour seven trumpets dealt, censor of incense and an offering smell, prayers of the saints as thunder felt, first trumpet blast hail and fire fell, second trumpet burning mountain into sea swell, trumpet number 3 3rd of waters bad as well, 4th trump 3rd of light of heaven turned out Eagle flies overhead cries with a shout, woe to the dwellers of earth for whats about, to happen when the final trumpets go to their mouths, trumpet #5 then locusts enroute Trump number 6 angels dealt death blow, 3rd of mankind falls in fire and smoke, Still many won’t confess their false hope, and hold to their idols made of wood and stone, DRUMS OUT another angel comes down with a little scroll, voice like thunder when the angel spoke, John tries to write but the angel says no, but what you have seen just as the prophets told, will come to pass when that thunder rolls, and the mystery of God will be fulfilled and unfold, John eats the scroll sweet bitter to the soul, he will prophesy to the people he will go, witnesses two of them with sack cloth as clothes, out from their mouth the testimony flows, beast wages war and lands a death blow, 3.5 days then the men rose, up from the dead and their enemies froze, full of dread and an earthquake smote, the land now at hand is the third of the “woes”, trumpet #7 heaven worship pose, DYNAMIC UP ride in Temple of God is then opened, ark of the covenant, thunder lightning, woman in labor and a great dragon, cast down a third of stars from heaven, woman gives birth to a child to a man, he will rule with a rod all the nations, angels wage war with the dragon demons, cast out forever the deciever Satan, he will never be accuser again, for he has been conquered by the blood of the Lamb, beasts 1& 2 gain allegiance of men, 666 but the blameless stand, angels herald Babylon fallen, death to her greed and lustful passions, Blessed are the Lords and their deeds follow them, harvest of the earth with a sickle in hand, MUSIC CHANGE 7 plagues followed by 7 bowls poured, out on people of the \beast from the Lord, Babylon crushed as a blood drunk whore, she will have dominion and power no more Hallelujah, heavens praise pours forth, supper for the lamb rider on a white horse, blood stained robe from his mouth comes a sword, on his robe and thigh king of kings lord of lords, Wars with the sword, all the beasts fallen hordes, flesh of the fallen by the birds is gorged, Satan bound tight with unbreakable cords, martyrs risen up for 1000 years in store, Great white throne with a judgement before, name in the book death or life in accord, new heaven and earth, and deaths closed door, and God dwells with his people forever more John then gets a heavenly view, of the new Jerusalem walk through, Tree of life with 12 new fruits, river of life flowing through its roots, The One who said I am making all things new, is trustworthy and is true, What He says he’ll do he’ll do, for those that accept and those that refuse, The spirit and bride say come they woo, the one who is thirsty come and prove, behold I will come and am coming soon, the bright morning star and Davids root, if any of these words from the book removed, on that man these plagues will accrue Come Lord Jesus come with truth, and may his grace be with all of you
10.
From the lips of infants and nursing babes You have established your strength When I consider the work of Your fingers The moon and the stars that You have ordained What is man that you take thought of him The son of man that you would care Yet you made him a little lower than God and you crown him with glory You make him to rule o'er the work of your hands put all things under his feet All the sheep and the oxen and the beasts of the fields the birds that fly in the heavens The fish that swim in the depths of the sea and all that passes beneath Oh LORD, our lord How majestic is your name in all the earth Oh LORD, our lord How majestic is your name in all the earth (repeat) (who has displayed Your splendor above the heavens)
