I will not fade
I won't let my light go out
I will not masquerade
I know who I am, and what my purpose is all about

(chorus)
For all these years
I've traveled on
And you have cheered,
Shine on, shine on
What I am
And who I am
Is never gonna change
The hits will come
But I will not be swayed
I've always been
What I am
The world can clearly see
I won't fade away

There is no life

I'm Not the King

The king of rock, some say lives
the lizard king is surely dead
the king of France lost his head
the King of Kings bled

I'm not the King I just sing yeah
I'm just a fraction of a thing yeah
I am not anything without the King of Kings

If I were King I'd be unwise
for my brains aren't Kingdom size
a King's someone to trust and love
like Jesus Christ whom I sing of

An image flashed across my TV screen
Another broken heart comes into view
I saw the pain, and I turned my back
Why can't I do the things I want to?
I am willing yet I'm so afraid
You give me strength
When I say

{chorus}:
I wanna be Your hands
I wanna be Your feet
I'll go where You send me
I'll go where You send me
I'll be Your hands
I'll be Your feet
I'll go where You send me

I must have been confused or vain
To let this evil in my brain
Lord did I enjoy the change
That you made inside my heart
Oh here they come
But I'm not afraid
There's no temptation I can't evade
Stand up straight
Look through the haze
I begin to walk through the maze
Here they come
They're all up on me
But I'm dead to sin like
Some kind of zombie
(Chorus)
I hear you speak and I obey

Lavishly our lives are wasted
Humbleness is left untasted
You can't live your life to please yourself, yeah
That's a tip from my mistakes
Exactly what it doesn't take
To win you've got to come in last place
To live your life you've got to lose it
And all the losers get a crown

CHORUS:
I get down and He lifts me up
I get down and He lifts me up
I get down and He lifts me up

Simon Peter, won't you put those nets down
Follow Me I'll lead you out of this town
To a place where no boat has ever been
I will make you a fisher of men.

Jesus walked out on the water
Said, Take courage, it is Me
Peter trusted and he wanted to go farther
So he stepped out on the sea
Yeah, he stepped out onto the sea

CHORUS
If I keep my eyes on Jesus I can walk on water

I don't know where you lay your head
or where you call your home
I don't know where you eat your meals
or where you talk on the phone
I don't know if you got a cook
a butler or a maid
I don't know if you got a yard
with a hammock in the shade

I don't know if you got some shelter
say a place to hide
I don't know if you live with friends
in whom you can confide
I don't know if you got a family

Freak! Is what the world calls me
They don’t understand so they try to stop me.
Hide! I can’t hide so I stand up straight with Christ by my side
No, no, no, no, need to be tongue-tied
So I say it loud, and I say it with pride
Died, He died, Christ gave it all, but He’s coming back to life
Now I’ve got a reason to be saying the things I say

14 kids in an old
church van
With a light in their
eyes and some
tracts in their
hands
60 mph feels way to
slow
when you got the
chevy pointed down
to Mexico
(Chorus)
We all want to run
the race to win
never giving up or
giving in
coming at you like a
blitz

they've had three
flats, and their
radiator's leaking
ain't nothing gonna
keep'em from the
prize that they're
seeking
they're riding all

An image flashed across my TV screen
Another broken heart comes in to view
I saw the pain and I turned my back
Why can't I do the things I want to?
I'm willing yet I'm so afraid
You give me strength
When I say

CHORUS
I want to be your hands
I want to be your feet
I'll go where you send me
I'll go where you send me

REPEAT CHORUS

And I'll try, yeah I'll try

Sometimes I'm a liar,
Sometimes I'm a fake.
Sometimes I'm a hypocrit
Everybody hates.

Sometimes I'm a poet,
Sometimes I'm a preacher
Sometimes I watch life go by
sittin' on the bleacher.

REFRAIN:
But I've never been left alone
in any problem that I've known
Even though I'm to blame
There were times when things were dark
and I've been known to miss the mark
But someone fixed my aim

Twenty years ago I watched in awe
as my Dad drove up the driveway.
More than proud to have a brand new family car.
Thirty miles to the gallon
0 to 60, sometimes.
I remember putting down the back seat
and lying in the hatchback.
Looking at the sky watching trees go by.
I was the son of a preacher
and he was a rich poor man

no a.c.
and no FM
and no regrets
in my Chevette
yeah
in my chevette

I am so weak and i'm so tired
it's hard for me to
find enough strength to feed the fires
and fuel my ego
and consequently all my pride
has all but died
which leaves me
down on my knees
back to the place I should've started from

*chorus*

been beat up
been broken down
no where but up
when you're faced down
on the ground
i'm in last place
if a place at all
but there's hope for this underdog.

I could move to Hollywood
get my teeth capped I know I could
be a big star on the silver screen
just like James Dean I could be a star
I could climb the corporate ladder
buy, sell, and liquidate
Maybe be just like the Beatles
melodic, rocking heavyweights
I could learn to sing and dance
if I only had a chance
I could be a big rock star

I could be anything I wanted to
I wanted to

Do you know
Do you know
do you know where you're gonna go?

If a DC-10 ever fell on your head
laying in the ground all messy and dead
Or a mack truck ran over you
or you suddenly die in youre sunday pew
i said do you know where youre gonna go?
it can happen any day
it can happen any way
it can happen while youre nappin' in your easy chair
happen at home
happen at school

All I have
Has come from love
I am blessed to be
Someone loved
Something good has got a hold of me

You forget
That I fall apart somtimes,
I cave in I remember it well
But You never bring it back again

(chorus)

So I sing
Sing a song from this mountaintop I'm on
See it clear,
See it true
There could never be another One like You

Friends I have
Will they be here when I'm old and gray

One more mile 'til I lay rest
I have put myself through this rigid test
But the mile has never ended no distance has been gained
I do not see greatness I wanted to obtain
Where is my embrace from the race that I have run?
I have kept a steady pace but still I have not won

CHORUS
Rest easy
have no fear
I love you perfectly
love drives out fear
I'll take your burden
you take My grace
Rest easy
