A baby in a manger, the town of Bethlehem
The wise men had the heart to know He was the great I Am
They crossed the desert many miles to kneel down at His feet
The start that led them seemed to tell them what had come to be
The Son’s gonna rise and shine
Make the lame walk, the deaf talk, and give sight back to the blind
Bring a light into the darkness no one can deny
As sure as there’s a Heaven, the Son’s gonna rise and shine
At the age of thirty-three, the prophecy fulfilled
On the cross at Calvary His blood for man was spilled
The sky was black as midnight, but ‘neath the dark and gloom
Voices rang and angels sang dancing ’round the tomb
The Son’s gonna rise and shine
He’ll take away the keys of death, the grave will loose its bind
Hell will be defeated in three days of time
On resurrection morning, the Son’s gonna rise and shine
It’s been two thousand years, but the story’s still the same
For those who will believe in Him and call upon His name
The Son’s gonna rise and shine
Heal the sick, raise the dead, the Savior of mankind
The day will soon be dawning will be the end of time
King of kings, Lord of lords, the Son’s gonna rise and shine
Jesus, Son of Glory, will save your soul and mine
Brother, are you ready? The Son’s gonna rise and shine

When I first met his mama she was just nineteen
Couldn’t say for certain who the father was
But I have known him since he was a pup
And I’m gonna raise him up
If you never knew your daddy like I never knew mine
It feels like everybody knows you’re fatherless
This boy may not be blood of my blood
But I’m gonna raise him up
I’ll provide for him, walk beside of him
I am strong enough
‘Cause it’s time he knew what a son can do
With a father’s love
Well he could change the world
You only have to look at Joseph a couple thousand years ago
When he held a newborn baby he named Jesus
He said He may not be blood of my blood
Still I’m gonna raise Him up
I’ll provide for Him, walk beside of Him
I am strong enough
I will show Him too what a Son can do
With a father’s love
And He will change the world
Thirty-three years later when the Son was in His grave
Broken and abandoned by a world He came to save
His real Dad said, “He’s mine, Blood of My Blood
And I’m gonna raise Him up”
I’ll provide for You, walk beside of You
I am strong enough
I have seen from You what a Son can do
With a Father’s love
One Man changed the world
And He could change your world
But you gotta raise Him up
Raise Him up

A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher
Ridin’ on a midnight bus bound for Mexico
One was head for vacation, one for higher education
Two of them were searchin’ for lost souls
That driver never ever saw the stop sign
And eighteen-wheelers can’t stop on a dime
There are three wooden crosses
On the right side of the highway
Why there’s not four of them
Heaven only knows
I guess it’s not what you take
When you leave this world behind you
It’s what you leave behind you when you go
That farmer left a harvest, a home and eighty acres
The faith and love for growin’ things
In his young son’s heart
And that teacher left her wisdom
In the minds of lots of children
Did her best to give ‘em all a better start
And that preacher whispered, “Can’t you see the promised land?”
As he laid his blood-stained Bible in that hooker’s hands
There are three wooden crosses
On the right side of the highway
Why there’s not four of them
Heaven only knows
I guess it’s not what you take
When you leave this world behind you
It’s what you leave behind you when you go
That’s the story that our preacher told last Sunday
As he held that bloodstained Bible up
For all of us to see
He said, “Bless the farmer, and the teacher and that preacher
Who gave this Bible to my momma
Who read it to me”
There are three wooden crosses
On the right side of the highway
Why there’s not four of them
Now I guess we know
It’s not what you take
When you leave this world behind you
It’s what you leave behind you when you go
There are three wooden crosses
On the right side of the highway

Jesus, You have carried me
When I could not stand
Jesus, You have carried me
It’s all been part of Your plan
Jesus, You have carried me
It’s Your footprints in the sand
Jesus, You have carried me
It was always in Your hands

What can separate us
From the love of Jesus Christ?
Nothing this world can even change
The thought I once was lost
But now been given grace
It’s a mystery that I will not chase
You are all this heart is longing for
Jesus, You are all my soul is pleading for
What can separate us
From the love of Jesus Christ?
Nothing this world can even change
The thought i once was lost
But now been given grace
It’s a mystery that I will not chace
I don’t understand it
How You love the way You do
Even when I’ve fallen
You always lift me up to You
- Jeremy Camp (Thirsty Moon Publishing / Stolen Pride Music [ASCAP])
Consider my affliction and please deliver me
Plead my cause and redeem me
Salvation is not for the wicked
For they don’t seek Your word
Great are Your tender mercies, Lord
Revive me, according to Your loving kindness
Revive me, that I may seek Your word
You give me undersetanding
According to Your word
Great peace for those who seek Your face
I long for salvation
My lips shall praise Your name
I rejoice in the treasure of Your keep
For all my ways are before You
I let Your hand become my help
My soul longs and adores You
Let my cry come before You, oh Lord

Will I believe You when You say
Your hand will guide my every way?
Will I receive the words You say
Every moment of every day?
I will walk by faith even when I cannot see
Because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me
Help me to rid my endless fears
You’ve been so faithful for all my years
With one breath You made me new
Your grace covers all I do
I will walk by faith even when I cannot see
Because this broken road
Preapres Your will for me
Well, I’m broken but I still see Your face
Well, You’ve spoken
Pouring Your words of grace
I will walk by faith even when I cannot see
Because this broken road
Prepares Your will for me

Lord, You live in me
You’re my best friend
You’re the King of kings
The Beginning and the End
Now that You have my eyes
I see Your Spirit inside of me
All that I am is for You
My Savior
I live by Your word
And surrender to You
Here where I stand in the moment, Father
My spirit has been renewed
I surrender to You
You hold the key to my life
In Your love hand
Always by my side
I offer all that I am
So glad I realize
You are the truth and the light
In my life
Everything I need I find in You
I believe Your promises are true
I will lift my burdens up to You
Your loving grace will see me through
I surrender to You

I wait for You, Lord

You are the only one that brings me peace
You are the only one where hope is seen
The mercy You’ve givenis more than I deserve
So I lay it down so I can heed Your word
Hear my voice, I raise to You
With honor and praiase
All glory is due
I lay it down all at Your feet
With lifted hands it’s You we seek
You are the only one that brings me truth
You are the only one that makes me new
The grace You’ve given a gift for all to see
So this is why I give You everything
And to You I lift my voice
And to You I lift my hands
And to You I give my heart
