And I said five wits, looks, and strength
I don't think are much in the way of companions
And good deeds couldn't pay my account
Not kinsmen nor knowledge stand
The trial of every man
Don't call me every man 

Call me Christian
(I am in You, You are in me, I am in You)
Call me Christian
(I am in You, You are in me, I am in You)
Call me Christian 

I've looked on the evergreen
And I've seen it constantly grow and show us life
And I want to live eternally
I want to be an imitation of Christ
I want to be a little Christ 

As a boy I'd put my steps
In my brother's bigger tracks
To match his stride
And just like that I follow Jesus
Jesus is my guide

The net is the good that's left after the metal is refined
As I melt, look at what I've got and
Separate it all from what I need 

I'll take anything, anything genuine.
Looking up from where I went I could take whatever I get
I'll take anything, anything genuine 

More interesting is my faith than the fear of what I'll miss
And those things are temporary anyway 

Still on this side getting fit for a faith that's been tried
And I smile more believably while getting just enough to know I need 

I'll take anything, anything genuine
Looking up from where I went, I could take whatever I get
Falling from Your hands or falling from Your lips
As long as it's from You, I know that I can take it, I can take it 

And I'll rejoice

Your wishes set in stone, I broke the first of ten
I've cleared this temple out come take your place again 

There is only You
There is only You 

Tiptoe from an awkward scene
Not fooling anyone
Am I dumb enough to kneel with my accusers
Or brave enough to run 

Petty daggers bounce weakly off my back
I'm leaving breathless gods and secrets in my tracks
Your wishes set in stone, I broke the first of ten
I've cleared this temple out come take Your place again 

There is only You
There is only You, believe me
There is only You
There is only You 

To a thousand generations
Of the faithful man
You will show Your favor Lord 

There is only You (Love earth can't replace)
There is only You, believe me (Heaven can't erase)
There is only You (Find me on my penitent face)
There is only You

Glory to God… 

I want to make what I've been feeling so.
I've been living with,
Specific boundary lines,
And given warning signs.
It comes down to me… 

Singing Gloria
Living Gloria
And the light so shines that everyone will see 

I'm bringing Gloria
Giving Gloria
To the Father may the greater glory be 

And once again… 

I start the day
Part of the mystery, of overcoming sin
While feeling less than meek and gentle
Knowing what's new testamental
Then they'll see me… 

Singing Gloria
Giving Gloria
And the light so shines that everyone will see 

I'm bringing Gloria
Giving Gloria
To the Father may the greater glory 

Knowing this that my redeemer finds me free
The best that I can do is live what I believe
Use my gifts and all my opportunities
To let my words and deeds agree 

Singing Gloria
Living Gloria
And the light so shines that everyone will see 

I'm bringing Gloria
Giving Gloria
To the Father, I'll live,
To the Father, I'll bring,
Sing Gloria

Never the righteous man forsaken
Never the righteous man 

Been to 48 states I remember a few
Having higher skylines and a wide angle view
I've seen green lands and the natives stay in one place
Peace falling on their face 

Where could I be
And stay happy
I hear Hawaii is greener
I hear Alaska is cleaner
Whether here or there the righteous have joy to spare 

Been to 48 states and few different worlds
I've seen dithered men leave boys, women and girls
Found the church roll full and they're current with dues
To pay for the empty pews 

Never the righteous man forsaken
Never the righteous man

You might have heard me
Artfully dodging the buzz words
Scoffing at your insinuation
Of just where I am 

I'm a long long way
From where I left to begin this refrain
From where Your mercy and grace remain
From where you sit is it true
It's not that far to You 

It happened slowly
Feet falling hard on the pavement
Eyes reaching into the distance
Toward empty sunsets 

Didn't I need to break out, want to be king
Wouldn't I face the gallows if I return
Or is a man freely pardoned
As I have heard 

Precious Jesus
Where can I flee from Your Spirit
You know me too well

Oh, Oh, Oh 

Heal the breach and reach out
With the olive branch, allay fear
Live the seventh blessing and expect
To be an heir of God
Meet halfway to pacify
The longing with an answer
Live the Gospel and the Gospel is His peace 

Oh, Oh, Oh 

For a kiss from Holiness
Discovering the dove lights only when our hearts agree
There is reverence in this
The offering of heart's ease for a spiritual wave of peace 

Oh, Oh, Oh

The search for my future has brought me here
This is more than I'd hoped for, but sometimes I fear
That the choice I was made for will someday appear
And I'll be too late for that flight
So hold it up – hold it up to the light,
Hold it up to the light, hold it up to the light 

I said God, will you bless this decision?
I'm scared. Is my life at stake?
But I know if you gave me a vision
Would I never have reason to use my faith? 

Now as soon as I'm moving – my choice is good
This way comes through right where I prayed that it would
If I keep my eyes open and look where I should
Somehow all of the signs are in sight
If I hold up the light 

It's too late – to be stopped at the crossroads
Each life here – each a possible way
But wait – and they all will be lost roads
Each path's growing shorter the longer I stay 

I was dead with deciding – afraid to choose
I was mourning the loss of the choices I'd lose
But there's no choice at all if I don't make my move
And trust that the timing is right
I will hold it up hold it up to the light
Hold it up to the light, hold it up to the light

I was full of everything, my eyes put on this plate
Full of joy I'm needing, less of late
I can return love to You the best that I know how
I believe my worth has been redeemed
And I can be a new man now 

Flatterers can fill a room as readily as this
The devil goes to dinner 'midst their bliss
Following the need will lead me farther from truth's well
Then only to be filled with what I miss 

I'm a new man, I'm a new man 

Like I said, there's always room where one keeps all things dear
I'll shrink away from sight and thought and evil that appears 

I'm a new man, I'm a new man

The rest of them are stars
The rest of them are stars
I'm a quasar 

Passed constellations where so many wishes have been caught
There you can find me incubating thought
Did you get consolation from a diamond in the sky
Or did he let you down, don't stop there tonight 

The rest of them are stars
The rest of them are stars 

Can they know for certain what I can become
I may let down a few or off and surprise some
And as the sun outshines it seems like I've disappeared
Yet there are these sounds anyone can hear 

You'll find me, you'll find me
Moving fastly to illuminately 

And brightly, and brightly
For the effort from so far away
From the rest of them

Get her boy and let yourself surrender
Run alone with her and never fall
She is wisdom and the most praiseworthy trait of all, of them all
Embrace her and the love she brings will save you
To the Father's justifiable ways
She is wisdom waiting with her prize
Garland of grace 

Do you have none
Do you cry out for the One
Would you offer anything to understand (Listen closely to her)
Study her well
And in time the truth will tell
How it's wisdom that completely makes her man
And she will now so 

With her garland of grace…

When sorrow can nowhere be found
And greed shall lay its weapons down
And hate give up without a sound
One of these days 

When love by tender instrument
Through circumstance and incident
Shall peace and joy again invent
One of these days 

To see this from within the soul
We must be patient and consoled
To know the joy that's ours to hold
One of these days 

And so with earnest inward eyes
We man the post where duty lies
And seek to win the precious prize
One of these days

One of these days…
