From a distance the world looks blue and green,
and the snow-capped mountains white.
From a distance the ocean meets the stream,
and the eagle takes to flight.

From a distance, there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
It’s the voice of hope, it’s the voice of peace,
it’s the voice of every man.

From a distance we all have enough,
and no one is in need.
And there are no guns, no bombs, and no disease,
no hungry mouths to feed.

From a distance we are instruments
marching in a common band.
Playing songs of hope, playing songs of peace.
They’re the songs of every man.
God is watching us. God is watching us.
God is watching us from a distance.

From a distance you look like my friend,
even though we are at war.
From a distance I just cannot comprehend
what all this fighting is for.

From a distance there is harmony,
and it echoes through the land.
And it’s the hope of hopes, it’s the love of loves,
it’s the heart of every man.

It’s the hope of hopes, it’s the love of loves.
This is the song of every man.
And God is watching us, God is watching us,
God is watching us from a distance.
Oh, God is watching us, God is watching.
God is watching us from a distance.

VERSE 1
You may be down and feel like God
Has somehow forgotten
That you are faced with circumstances
You can’t get through
But now it seems that there’s no way out
And you’re going under
God’s proven time and time again
He’ll take care of you.

CHORUS
And He’ll do it again
He’ll do it again
If you’ll just take a look
At where you are now
And where you’ve been
Well hasn’t He always come through for you
He’s the same now as then
You may not know how
You may not know when
But He’ll do it again
VERSE 2
God knows the things you’re going through
And He knows how you’re hurting
You see he knows just how your heart
Has been broken in two
But He’s the God of the stars, of the sun and the sea
And He is your Father
You see He can calm the storm
And He’ll find some way to fix it for you

CHORUS
BRIDGE
Oh He’s still God and He will not fail you
Oh He’s still God and He will not change
Know, Know that He’s God and He’s fighting for you
Yes, just like Moses, just like Daniel
And just like Shadrach and Meshach, Abednego

CHORUS
TAG
You may not know how

Great was the burden that I couldn’t bear
The sorrow and pain in this heart of despair
Great was the guilt, an unbearable load
The weight of my sin, and the debt that I owed.

But greater still was God’s grace
Mercy revealed, that the gross displayed
The victory was won on Calvary’s hill
But where sin is great, grace is greater still.

We’re called to follow but sometimes we fall
And though there is pardon he offers to all
It’s hard to escape, the pain and regret
When great are the failures that we can’t forget.

But greater still was God’s grace
Mercy revealed, that the gross displayed
The victory was won on Calvary’s hill
But where sin is great, grace is greater still.

Grace! Grace! God’s grace. Grade that will pardon and cleanse within.
Grace! Grace! God’s grace. Where sin is great, grace is greater still.

But greater still was God’s grace
Mercy revealed, that the gross displayed
The victory was won on Calvary’s hill
But where sin is great, grace is greater still.
Where sin was great grace was greater still.

Last night in a dream I took a journey
I was trembling as I stood among the crowd
Some said crucify him
Others mocked and laughed
Not one soul came forward to speak on his behalf
I found myself drawn to this stranger
And, I saw such compassion in his eyes
Then he said the debt you owed will soon be covered.
When the Lamb of God is crucified

That’s why they call it grace
That’s why they call it mercy
And the tears ran down my face
For I was so undeserving
The one called Heaven’s glory reached through time and space took my guilt and died there in my place
That’s why they call
That’s why they call it grace

Then I awakened from my dream and my mind began to race
With one single act of love and one single drop of blood
Forever my sins erased

That’s why they call it grace
That’s why they call it mercy
I will give him all my praise
Though I’m still undeserving
The one called Heaven’s glory
Reached through time and space
Took my guilt and died there in my place
The one called Heaven’s glory
Reached through time and space
Took my guilt and died there in my place
That’s why they call
That’s why they call
Oh oh that’s why they call it Grace His Grace

Sometimes it’s hard for me to understand
why we pull away from each other so easily
even though were all workin’ the same road
Yet we build dividing walls between our
brothers and ourselves, but I, I don’t care
What label you wear, but you believe in Jesus
You belong with me, In God we share
And all I care to see is that we’ll change the world forever
You will join with me, join and sing, sing…

Chorus:
You’re my brother you’re my sister
so take me by the hand
Together we will work until He comes
There’s no foe that can defeat us
We’re walkin’ side by side
As long as there is Love
We will stand

One day will come when we’ll be as one
and with a binding voice together
We will proclaim you Jesus, Jesus is King
It will echo through the earth
it will shake the nations
And the world will see
And they will see

Chorus

Take me by the hand
Join with me
Join let us sing

Chorus

Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world
They resound with God’s own heart
Oh, let the ancient words impart
Words of Life, words of Hope
Give us strength, help us cope
In this world, where e’er we roam
Ancient words will guide us home
Chorus
Ancient words ever true
Changing me and changing you
We have come with open hearts
Oh, let the ancient words impart
Holy words of our Faith
Handed down to this age
Came to us through sacrifice
Oh heed the faithful words of Christ
Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world
They resound with God’s own heart
Oh let the ancient words impart
Chorus
Ancient words ever true
Changing me and changing you
We have come with open hearts
Oh, let the ancient words impart
REPEAT(FOUR TIMES)

I believe in God the Father
Jesus Christ, His only Son
And the blessed Holy Spirit
Distinct, yet three in one

I believe there is forgiveness
For everything we’ve done
That is why all the more
I will serve Him

I believe the Son of God
Was crucified upon the tree
Laid within a borrowed tomb
Not far from Calvary

I believe He rose up from the dead
Alive for all to see
That is why all the more
I will serve Him

I have made my decision
I have state my claim
I have drawn a line in the sand
And I’ll not be ashamed

With the world behind me
And the cross before
By the grace of God
I will serve the Lord

I believe you must be born again
John 3:16 is true
The old life can be washed away
Everything made new

And I believe the love of God
Can somehow find its way to you
That is why all the more
I will serve Him

And I have made my decision
I have state my claim
I have drawn a line in the sand
And I’ll not be ashamed

With the world behind me
And the cross before
By the grace of God
I will serve the Lord

And I know when Satan and his minions
Come to torment me
When I invoke the name of Jesus
Every demon has to flee

I know the time will come
When Christ returns again someday
Till then there’s just one name on Earth
Whereby men can be safe

I believe there is a right and wrong
A time to live a die
And the Bible is the blueprint
That all men should live by

I believe I’m not alone
With my faith in Jesus Christ
That is why all the more
We will serve Him

We have made our decision
We have state our claim
We have drawn a line in the sand
And we won’t be ashamed

With the world behind us
And the cross before
By the grace of God
We will serve the Lord

I have made my decision
I have state my claim
I have drawn a line in the sand
And I’ll not be ashamed

With the world behind me
And the cross before
By the grace of God
I will serve the Lord

By the grace of God
I will serve the Lord
By the grace of God
I will serve the Lord
