Is There A Heaven For Me?

Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan

She heard him preaching in the church
She tried but she could not get in
She was a lonely child on the street
The wind was cold against her skin
The wind was cold against her skin

She heard the sound
Of strange new words
That someone else would then explain
They spoke of heaven
And a Savior’s love
They said that Jesus was His name

CHORUS:
Is there a heaven for me?
A place I won’t be hungry or cold?
That is a place that I would love to see
Is there a heaven for me

She waited patiently for hours
Until at last she saw him leave
He couldn’t understand
The words she said
So he asked tell me what she needs

CHORUS (repeat)

And on that street they knelt and prayed
And on that night a child was saved
Listen closely and you’ll hear
More than just a girl
You’ll hear the children of the world
You’ll hear the children of the world

CHORUS (repeat 2X)

Brave New World

Words and music by Jeff Silvey and Regie Hamm

Caught in the valley of shadow,
Fear and doubt
Desperately searching
There was no way out
But then the hand of mercy
Came reaching for me
Lifted me out of my broken past
And brought me
Into the land of the free

CHORUS:
Here in the brave new world
My faith is standing strong
Here in the brave new world
I’m right where I belong
It’s Your amazing grace
That brought my heart
Right to this place
The fear is gone
I’m living in a brave new world

I stand on a mountain of possibilities
I hear You calling me to spread my wings
I know You’ll hold me up, Lord
When I feel too weak to fly
Cause it’s through the power of your love
That keeps me soaring through the sky

CHORUS (repeat)

It was a universe of dark despair
Now I see You shining everywhere
I know You’re always there

CHORUS (repeat 2X)

At The Foot Of The Cross    

Words and music by Ray Boltz and Lawrence Chewning

They were watching from a distance
And they could not
Take their eyes from You
You were bleeding
They were weeping
Faithful sisters, they had followed you
They did not understand
They could not see
They were mourning their loss
As the sky turned black
And the Earth turned red
At the foot of the cross

He was standing near your mother
They were so close
They could hear you sighing
All around them angry voices
Pierced the darkness
And you were dying
But they would not leave
They lingered there
No matter the cost
They were staying
And they were praying
At the foot of the cross

CHORUS:
Keep me near the cross
Near the cross
May I never stray so far
That I cannot see
What flowed down for me
At the foot of the cross

Now I’m standing in your presence
And I cannot take my eyes from you
You have risen I’m forgiven
Precious Saviour, oh I worship you
No I’m not looking back
I’ve heard your voice
And I’m staying here
I’ve made my choice
For now it’s real, now I kneel
At the foot of the cross

CHORUS (repeat 2X)

One Drop Of Blood    

Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan

Standing in the courtroom
When I heard, how do you plead?
The accuser of the brethren
Was staring at me
He said, we got your number
There is no escape
For here are your transgressions,
Your failures and mistakes

He pointed to the corner
Where the scales of justice stood
I saw so many failures there
There was nothing good
And in that very moment
When it seemed all hope was lost
I said, I plead the blood of Jesus
And his death upon the cross

CHORUS:
One drop of blood
Fell to the scales
It covered my transgressions
And all the times I failed
The enemy was mighty
He came in like a flood
He was defeated by one drop of blood

I stood and watched in silence
As others were brought in
I saw them start to tremble
When they turned and faced their sin
They offered no excuses
They offered no alibis
The truth was overwhelming
And it would not be denied
Their righteousness like filthy rags
And nothing they could say
They bowed their heads in silence
As they were led away
But for the true believers
Each time it was the same
His glory shown around them
As they called upon his name

One drop of blood
Fell to the scales
It covered their transgressions
And all the times they failed
The enemy was mighty
He came in like a flood
He was defeated by one drop of blood

No greater sacrifice has any other made
Oh yes he paid the price
With every drop he gave

CHORUS (repeat 2X)

God Gave Me Back Tomorrow

Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan

There are voices on the road of life
And I have made choices
That I know weren’t right
And they brought me to my knees
At the end of a lonely street
And I am standing here today
I want to say

CHORUS:
God gave me back my tomorrow
When I threw tomorrow away
He took this life
Full of sorrow
And suddenly everything changed
The moment it happened
It was the moment I knew
It was like walking in the darkness
When the light comes shining through
I said that God gave me back tomorrow

When you’re struggling
With the guilt and shame
You traded your tomorrows
And all you got to show for it
Was heartache and pain
And it’s brought you to your knees
At the end of a lonely street
He is standing here today
And He’ll help you say

CHORUS (repeat)

The moment it happened
It was the moment I knew
It was like walking in the darkness
When the light comes shining through
I said that God gave me back tomorrow

Everyone Wins

Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Ray Boltz, Steve Millikan, Dane Clark, Randy Melson, and Sandy Williams

CHORUS:
Everyone wins
If we agree
Life is a treasure
And love is the key
Brothers and sisters
We must understand
No one’s a loser
Everyone wins

CHORUS (repeat)

He practiced hard
So he could run the race
At the start he fell
Flat on his face
The other runners
Did not pass him by
They stopped to help him up
And this is why

CHORUS (repeat)

In the Bible is a special verse
It says the very last
Will be the first
If you are struggling
Put your hand in mine
Together we will cross the finish line

CHORUS (repeat 3X)

One Single Flame

Words and music by Jeff Silvey, Michael Puryear, and Ray Boltz

In the heart of the believer
Burns a fire for the soul
To light the way
And fight against the cold
But if we all would gather
Joining hearts in one accord
The blaze would rise much higher
United in the Lord

CHORUS:
One single flame
An everlasting light
Shining through the darkness
Shattering the night
A healing fire
Lifting up the Savior’s name
May a world of true believers
Burn one single flame

Sometimes we put up boundaries
With traditions from the past
It’s hard to move forward looking back
For the Father’s kingdom
We must set aside these walls
Standing undivided
Let us rise up for his call

CHORUS (repeat)

Today and for the future
It’s burning brighter than before
To those who come behind us
Let us pass the torch

CHORUS (repeat)

What If I Give All?    

Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Ray Boltz and Mark Pay

He heard the preacher say
A single dime can feed
A hungry boy or girl
With nothing to eat
So he pulled a dollar
From the pocket of his jeans
And he asked his mama
How many will this feed?
She just smiled
And when she told him ten
He reached back again

CHORUS:
What if I give all I have?
What will that gift do?
My child, a gift like that
Could change the world
It could feed a multitude
He didn’t close his eyes
Or turn away
I can see him standing tall
He saw the need
And I can hear him say
What if I give all

Three birthday dollars
Could have bought a special toy
But he reminds me
Of another little boy
Who gave to Jesus
A gift of fish and bread
I wonder if he said

CHORUS (repeat)

And long ago a Father and a Son
Saw the children lost in sin
Can you see the tears
In the Father’s eyes
As Jesus says to him

What if I gave all I have?
What will that gift do?
My Son, that gift
Will change the world
It will free the multitudes

What if I give all I have?
What will that gift do?
My child a gift like that
Could change the world
It could feed a multitude
We cannot close our eyes
And turn away
When we hear His Spirit call
We see the need
Now let Him hear us say
What if I give all?
What if I give all?

There Stood A Lamb

Words and music by Ray Boltz

He was standing in heaven
With tears in his eyes
Saying, tell me this isn’t so
For there was one in heaven
And no one on earth
Worthy to open the scroll
Then one of the elders
Said, John don’t you cry
It was all part of the plan
Then in the center
Of God’s glorious throne
Hallelujah, there stood a lamb

And they sang worthy
Worthy of honor and praise
They were casting down crowns
And praising His name
When he cried, who is worthy?
I can hear Jesus saying, I am
Oh, praise God, forever
There stood a Lamb

Now open your Bible
Open your heart
It’s clear we are in last days
And he said I’ll come quickly
So don’t’ be surprised
When he comes back to take us away
And feeble excuses won’t get very far
When you find yourself
There at His throne
If you know Jesus
And He is your Lord
Hallelujah, you won't be alone

And we’ll sing worthy
Worthy of honor and praise
We’ll be casting down crowns
And praising His name
When he says, are you worthy?
I can hear Jesus saying, I am
Oh, praise God, forever
There stood a Lamb

And we’ll sing worthy
Worthy of honor and praise
As we cast down our crowns
We’ll be praising his name
When he says, are you worthy?
I can hear Jesus saying, I am
Oh, praise God, forever
Praise God, forever
Praise God, forever
There stood a Lamb

Until All Have Been Served

Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan

Brother and sisters sharing communion
Holding the bread of life in their hands
In just a few hours they’d be going home
Serving the Lord in faraway lands
When someone said,
Has everyone been served?
This is what was heard

CHORUS:
No, no, not everyone has been served
No, no, we need to
Take them to his word
How can they know him
When they’ve never heard?
No, no, not everyone has been served

With tears in their eyes
They prayed for the cities
Where millions of people suffer each day
They live and they die
Never knowing why
No one is there to show them the way
And the Father says,
Has everyone been served?
For so long He has heard

CHORUS (repeat)

We are the light and we know the truth
Can we forget what we’re called to do?
No, no, not until all have been served
No, no, we need to
Take them to his word
In every nation let this cry be heard
No, no, not until all have been served
No, no, not until all have been served
No, no, we need to
Take them to his word
In every nation, let this cry be heard
No, no, not until all have been served
