Love limits liberty

 Our love for others limits thoughts, words, & deeds

Low to the ground we’re bowed 

Servant to The Lord, comes of His own accord

Favour, found fresh He endowed 

Love changes thinking, limits liberty 

Considering others as whole 

We refuse our right, eyes fall on His light 

We endure and unblock His goal 

Lets cross culture, all we’ve known is me 

Our first way ain’t thinking ‘bout others 

Do what it takes in our mind, make it or fake it and  find

We’re protecting our sisters and brothers 

Love changes thinking, limits liberty 

Considering others as whole 

We refuse our right, eyes fall on His light 

We endure and unblock His goal 

Love changes thinking, limits liberty 

Considering others as whole 

We refuse our right, eyes fall on His light 

We endure and unblock His goal.

Genesis 18:1-5

The LORD appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground. He said, “If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by. Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant.” “Very well,” they answered, “do as you say.”

1 Corinthians 9:12

If others have this right of support from you, shouldn’t we have it all the more?

But we did not use this right. On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ.

If’n you’ant

 Down South we have a sayin, means go on and get it 

Ain’t nobody ‘gon help or stop ya 

If’n you’ant means what you want 

Don’t let no bar set a’top ya

Language is crucial, just look at Babel 

Reason He stopped ’em from building 

If’n we want, displace Him we don’t 

He knew we’d’ve carried on gilding 

Even the best can’t long survive 

Defying God just ain’t an option 

Through time He sees us, predestined  through Jesus

Gave us sonship in adoption 

Language is crucial, just look at Babel 

Reason He stopped ’em from building 

If’n we want, displace Him we don’t 

He knew we’d’ve carried on gilding 

Language is crucial, just look at Babel 

Reason He stopped ’em from building 

If’n we want, displace Him we don’t 

He knew we’d’ve carried on gilding.

Genesis 11:6-9

The LORD said, “If as one people speaking the same language they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. Come, let us go down and confuse their language so they will not understand each other.”

So the LORD scattered them from there over all the earth, and they stopped building the city. That is why it was called Babel —because there the LORD confused the language of the whole world. From there the LORD scattered them over the face of the whole earth.

Ephesians 1:5-6

he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.

Apollos’ pride

 Just like Apollos, My grasp of gospel slight

I too learned from friends 

We stay with what’s written, we’re less often bitten 

Pride is a passage that ends 

Pride is in all, a gift and a curse 

All of us bound up and boasting 

Bound to believe, we clearly receive 

To God and to others we’re toasting 

What makes us think we dreamed it up 

Makes us think we know 

If Jesus Christ was born to die 

Makes sense that it’s His show

Pride is in all, a gift and a curse 

All of us bound up and boasting 

Bound to believe, we clearly receive 

To God and to others we’re toasting 

Pride is in all, a gift and a curse 

All of us bound up and boasting 

Bound to believe, we clearly receive 

To God and to others we’re toasting.

1 Corinthians 1:12

What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas”; still another, “I follow Christ.”

1 Corinthians 4:6-7

Now, brothers and sisters, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us the meaning of the saying, “Do not go beyond what is written.” Then you will not be puffed up in being a follower of one of us over against the other. For who makes you different from anyone else? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?

Hold sway

 Go down to the house, there I will speak 

I’ll test you to see if you’ll hold 

Once you’re there, see I create with care 

I make the wheel and I make the mold

Spirit hold sway in me 

Spirit hold sway 

In my  flesh I’m helpless and weak 

In my place You proffered, Your own Son You offered 

You taught us  to turn the other cheek 

Live according to Spirit 

Law has been fully met 

In us speaks the sway He’s holding 

We’re on The Potter’s wheel, He made all that’s real 

Every day He continues molding 

Spirit hold sway in me 

Spirit hold sway 

In my  flesh I’m helpless and weak 

In my place You proffered, Your own Son You offered 

You taught us  to turn the other cheek 

Spirit hold sway in me 

Spirit hold sway 

In my  flesh I’m helpless and weak 

In my place You proffered, Your own Son You offered 

You taught us to turn the other cheek.

Jeremiah 18:1-6

This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD: “Go down to the potter’s house, and there I will give you my message.” So I went down to the potter’s house, and I saw him working at the wheel. But the pot he was shaping from the clay was marred in his hands; so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.

Then the word of the LORD came to me. He said, “Can I not do with you, Israel, as this potter does?” declares the LORD. “Like clay in the hand of the potter, so are you in my hand, Israel.

Romans 8:3-4

For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

Dump it all at the Cross

 How can He handle it, wants all our stuff 

He’s calling, chasing, & testing 

Will we sin, curse Him to win 

Result one of burning or resting 

Paul told His story 

His own road to glory 

He knew God was on his side 

Called by the King, his one response, sing

Heavenward, angel songs abide 

Our road will be a rough one, trouble is sure

We’re shackled to this self like Paul

That’s the thing with Jesus,  tests us & frees us 

Now at foot saying “dump it all”

Paul told His story 

His own road to glory 

He knew God was on his side 

Called by the King, his one response, sing

Heavenward, angel songs abide 

Paul told His story 

His own road to glory 

He knew God was on his side 

Called by the King, his one response, sing

Heavenward, angel songs abide.

Job 2:10

He replied, “You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God, and not trouble?”

In all this, Job did not sin in what he said.

Acts 26:31-32

After they left the room, they began saying to one another, “This man is not doing anything that deserves death or imprisonment.”

Agrippa said to Festus, “This man could have been set free if he had not appealed to Caesar.”

Volume of Voice

 Big volume, massive 

Too vast to grasp 

Why we need ears to hear 

Silent Shouts drowning droughts 

He’s perfect roaring Fear 

He’s at the top throughout time 

Why He’s Rock of ages 

His fire devours, He summons hours 

Justice roars and rages 

He’s all around, He won’t be quiet 

Volume knob is broken 

Dominion wide, get on His side 

Subpoena writ and spoken 

He’s at the top throughout time 

Why He’s Rock of ages 

His fire devours, He summons hours 

Justice roars and rages 

He’s at the top throughout time 

Why He’s Rock of ages 

His fire devours, He summons hours 

Justice roars and rages.

Psalms 50:3-4

Our God comes

and will not be silent;

a fire devours before him,

and around him a tempest rages.

He summons the heavens above,

and the earth, that he may judge his people:

Sea shuttle and port

 Like zinc blocks on shuttle are sacrificial 

You needed sacrifice

The Lord told Aaron and Moses, sacrificing shows us 

His character commands a price 

Passover began the year, tenth day celebrated 

On this day every man shall take a lamb

He and his nearest neighbour, divided up the labour 

Blood on door defended house from damn

Behold The Lamb of God, takes away our sin

Jesus, with us from the start

He's the sacrifice, paid the highest price 

With Him, we're able to play our part 

Passover began the year, tenth day celebrated 

On this day every man shall take a lamb

He and his nearest neighbour, divided up the labour 

Blood on door defended house from damn

Passover began the year, tenth day celebrated 

On this day every man shall take a lamb

He and his nearest neighbour, divided up the labour 

Blood on door defended house from damn.

Exodus 12:1-5 (ESV)

The Passover

1 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, 2 “This month shall be for you the beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year for you. 3 Tell all the congregation of Israel that on the tenth day of this month every man shall take a lamb according to their fathers’ houses, a lamb for a household. 4 And if the household is too small for a lamb, then he and his nearest neighbor shall take according to the number of persons; according to what each can eat you shall make your count for the lamb. 5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male a year old. 

John 1:29 (ESV)

Behold, the Lamb of God

29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!

Aright

 Live real life, Look up, look out 

Trees and sand and sky

It’s no mystery, His history 

He tells us when and why

God’s not trying to trick us 

He’s not holding back

He wants us all to live full lives

He’s written down His Word, all of time He’s heard 

The plan He has is one where mankind thrives

When you read His Word you can see the Way

It’s there, written down in black and white 

Seek and you shall find, not meant to be a grind 

Wisdom means we number days aright.

Jeremiah 29:11

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Psalms 90:12

Teach us to number our days aright,

that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

John 10:10

The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Triggers

 Sin triggers sin, Pride triggers wrath 

Hard to walk humbly with God 

Look back, record the track 

He’s there in the trail you’ve trod 

Justice triggers mercy, 

Mercy, humility 

These our Lord requires 

Push through the portal, though we’re mere mortal 

We’re helped by heavenly choirs 

Glory in sufferings, perseverance built 

We all want character and hope 

Not put to shame, in Jesus’ name 

Cascading Love to cope 

Justice triggers mercy, 

Mercy, humility 

These our Lord requires 

Push through the portal, though we’re mere mortal 

We’re helped by heavenly choirs 

Justice triggers mercy, 

Mercy, humility 

These our Lord requires 

Push through the portal, though we’re mere mortal 

We’re helped by heavenly choirs.

Micah 6:8

He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.

Romans 5:3-5

Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Realise Royalty

 Who’s Jewish, who’s Israel, what’s a holy nation 

People on His earth are kings and queens 

God’s the One with loyalty, if we can realise royalty 

We can serve as He gives us the means 

We are His possession, He holds us and He cares 

May proclaim excellencies of God

Choose king or slave, a choice Jesus gave 

Marvellous light or endless Land of Nod

We want back in Eden, seems heaven on earth 

We don’t want to be banished back east 

His presence is Eden, He’s all we’re needing 

Choose King, realise you’re Royal priest 

We are His possession, He holds us and He cares 

May proclaim excellencies of God

Choose king or slave, a choice Jesus gave 

Marvellous light or endless Land of Nod

We are His possession, He holds us and He cares 

May proclaim excellencies of God

Choose king or slave, a choice Jesus gave 

Marvellous light or endless Land of Nod.

Genesis 4:16

So Cain went out from the LORD’s presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

1 Peter 2:9

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvellous light.

The Gardener

 God made it all, Continues creating 

For our sake I’m glad He did

Once out of garden, hearts will harden 

Our Royal Highness in heaven was hid

Gardener to King 

All angels sing 

He’s  Royalty from the start 

King’s alive today, He’s not carried away 

He’s Holy Spirit in  heart

The Word is pretty clear, the Kingdom is near 

Same Word before Adam and Eve

All Jesus asks, same two tasks 

Repent and believe

Gardener to King 

All  angels sing 

He’s  Royalty from the start 

King’s alive today, He’s not  carried away 

He’s Holy Spirit in  heart

Gardener to King 

All angels sing 

He’s  Royalty from the start 

King’s alive today, He’s not  carried away 

He’s Holy Spirit in  heart.

Genesis 1:11-12

Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds. ” And it was so. The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good.

John 20:15

He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”

Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”

Eat the salt of the palace of God

 Obedience is key, we’re all in the palace

Really no room for sedition 

He’s given us the tools to honour His rules 

No need to create our own tradition

If up to all we seek, we’re likely up the creek 

May be even worse than the ancient 

Babylon destroyed, Jews overjoyed 

Romans tried to plaster it with plainchant 

Still under obligation, one King of kings

Came gentle, riding on a colt 

He’s coming back, to judge not attack

We’ll see Him like we see a lightning bolt 

Why not stay in line 

Obedience is fine 

God is the one Judge and jury

Trust Jesus’ name, you’ll not be the same 

You’ll not have to face wrath and fury.

Ezra 4:14-15

Now since we are under obligation to the palace and it is not proper for us to see the king dishonored, we are sending this message to inform the king, so that a search may be made in the archives of your predecessors. In these records you will find that this city is a rebellious city, troublesome to kings and provinces, a place with a long history of sedition. That is why this city was destroyed.

Matthew 21:5

“Say to Daughter Zion,

‘See, your king comes to you,

gentle and riding on a donkey,

and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.’”

Revelation 19:15-16

Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:

KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Rattled by wrath

 Just like Israel I’ve got another shot 

By my own wrath I’m rattled 

Read on ahead, Israel ain’t dead 

Broken bow now embattled 

Just like that they’re sand on the seashore 

Immeasurable, cannot be counted

Very same place, because of His grace 

Great day for a nation dismounted 

Together we stand divided we fall 

Both of the kingdoms now living 

Our turn to wait, never too late 

Jesus is saving and giving 

Just like that they’re sand on the seashore 

Immeasurable, cannot be counted

Very same place, because of His grace 

Great day for a nation dismounted 

Just like that they’re sand on the seashore 

Immeasurable, cannot be counted

Very same place, because of His grace 

Okay Great day for a nation dismounted.

Hosea 1:4-5

Then the LORD said to Hosea, “Call him Jezreel, because I will soon punish the house of Jehu for the massacre at Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of Israel. In that day I will break Israel’s bow in the Valley of Jezreel. ”

Hosea 1:10-11

“Yet the Israelites will be like the sand on the seashore, which cannot be measured or counted. In the place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ they will be called ‘children of the living God.’ The people of Judah and the people of Israel will come together; they will appoint one leader and will come up out of the land, for great will be the day of Jezreel.

1 Thessalonians 1:9-10

for they themselves report what kind of reception you gave us. They tell how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead —Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.

Something from nothing

 Abraham and Sarah past childbearing years yet God created Isaac 

He made Isaac from Trust

Promise to all the seed, not only ancient's need

He calls all to be because He's just 

Something from nothing 

Only God can make 

He's the creator and He's calling 

He creates today, He's showing us The Way

He restores to rising from falling 

Restoration day coming our way 

He'll restore the earth without a sea 

New Earth, new Heaven, entire story, seven 

Complete as He's called it all to be 

Something from nothing 

Only God can make 

He's the creator and He's calling 

He creates today, He's showing us The Way

He restores to rising from falling 

Something from nothing 

Only God can make 

He's the creator and He's calling 

He creates today, He's showing us The Way

He restores to rising from falling.

Romans 4:16-17 (KJV)

16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all, 17 (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.

Revelation 21:1 (ESV)

The New Heaven and the New Earth

1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
