When He Calls
Words and music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan
In a land far away
A little boy lay
Asleep in his bed
Then he heard a voice call
There was no doubt at all
He knew just what it said
He had heard it before
And he could not ignore
What he thought
Was too good to be true
For the words of a wise man
Had opened his eyes
And he knew what he needed to do
CHORUS:
When He calls
When He calls
Just say, Lord, I am listening
When He calls
When He calls
Just be ready to obey
For there's no greater joy
Than hearing Him call your name
Well, the little boy's gone
But life still goes on
Day after day
And if God spoke back then
He can do it again
In a nuclear age
Have you heard it before
And just chose to ignore
What your mind thought
Was only a dream
If He's speaking to you
This is what you should do
And it's not quite
As strange as it seems
CHORUS (repeat)

Church Hop
Words by Ray Boltz, Music by Ray Boltz and John Higgins
Once there was a shepherd
I've been told
Had some sheep
Who wouldn't stay in the fold
Sunday morning, Wednesday night
Checking out every church in sight
Shepherd said,
Kids we gotta have a talk
The wolves are gonna get you
If you're not in a flock
CHORUS:
Don't you be doing that church hop
Don't you be doing that church hop
Don't you be doing that church hop
Don't you be doing that church hop
Once you get started
You just can't stop
Don't you be doing that church hop
Some folks go where they get fed
They do
Some folks go where they feel led
Do you?
Some folks just can't
Make up their mind
Changing churches all the time
They want something hot
They want something new
They just can't find that perfect pew
CHORUS
Some for the money
Some for the show
Preach about commitment
And they go, go, go
Doing that church hop
Doing that church hop
Once you get started
You just can't stop
Don't you be doing that church hop

Heavenly Father
Words and music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan
Here we are together
Start of a new day
In these precious moments
I've got so much to say
When I think about who You are
And all the things that You do
I lift my voice
And start praising You
CHORUS:
Heavenly Father
You're such a good father to me
Heavenly Father
There's no place that I'd rather be
Some days are much better
Than the ones before
But everyday I spend with You
I love You that much more
Even when I fail You
And I try to turn and run
You take my hand
And I know I'm Your son
CHORUS
The world rushes by
Day after day
There's so much to do
There's no time to pray
But I've found with You
A joy that's complete
Kneeling at Your feet
CHORUS (repeat)

Here Comes A Miracle
Words and music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan
They followed Him on dusty roads
Wherever He would lead
Multitudes would gather
As He healed each disease
With eyes of wonder they would watch
As He would stop to pray
And when He spoke the word of faith
You could hear them say
CHORUS:
Here comes a miracle
Here comes a miracle
Can't you feel it in the air?
That look is on His face
His glory is in this place
And I know a miracle is near
The lame could walk
The deaf could hear
Blinded eyes could see
And those who had been
Bound for years
Were suddenly set free
They came in desperation
The hurting and the poor
But when they saw Him
Through the crowd
They knew what was in store
CHORUS
And still today we follow Him
We claim His Word is true
And nothing is impossible
What He says He will do
And though this world may doubt us
And though they laugh and stare
Someday all men will see the Truth
When we see Him in the air
CHORUS
Here comes a miracle

Lion Of Judah
Words and music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan
Messiah would come
The earth would rejoice
The people start to sing
For they would behold
As Scripture fortold
A mighty King of Kings
But He came as a child
Not like they had planned
Not like they had planned
CHORUS:
Lion of Judah
Lamb of God
Glorious Conqueror
Suffering Son
Lion of Judah
With nails in His hands
The Mighty Redeemer
Was meek as a lamb
No elegant robes
No glorious throne
No armies at His side
Could this be the One?
A carpenter's son?
A man condemned to die?
But a lion roared
Deep inside thie Lamb
Inside this Man
CHORUS (repeat)

Stand Up
Words and music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan
Now when I was just a little child
Enrolled in elementary school
That big 'ol teacher
Would ask me a question
And I'd sit there
Trembling like a fool
So I asked my daddy,
I said, What's wrong with me?
He said, Son, if you know the answer
This is how it's got to be
He said
CHORUS:
You've got to stand up
And be counted
You've got to raise your hand
And let them call your name
You've got to stand up
If you want to be counted
Lift your voice
And don't ever be ashamed
The next day at school
The teacher asked a question
And she shot a look my way
And I stood right up
And I said, Teacher
There's something
That I've got to say
You know the grass below is green
And the sky above is blue
And Columbus found this country
In 1492
You need to stand up
And be counted
You've got to raise your hand
And just let them call your name
You've got to stand up
If you want to be counted
Lift your voice
And don't ever be ashamed
Now I believe the Lord
He's looking for someone
Who's gonna stand up
For the Church
And he wants you to stand up
On the street
And where you go to school
And where you go to work
And in a world filled with darkness
That's surrounded by the night
Someone needs to stand up for Jesus
And start to shine that Light
We need to stand up
And be counted
We need to raise our hands
And start to praise His matchless Name
We need to stand up
If we want to be counted
Lift your voice
And don't ever, ever, ever
Be ashamed

Someone Stood Up For Stephen
Words and music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan
They grabbed a hold
Of the preacher boy
And drug him
To the edge of the town
With hate in their eyes
And rocks in their hands
They couldn't wait
To knock him down
They said,
He's just another believer
Getting ready to take a fall
There's no one here
Who can save him
There's nobody here he can call
CHORUS:
But someone stood up for Stephen
He wasn't standing alone
Someone stood up for Stephen
At the Father's throne
The sky opened up
And the clouds rolled away
Stephen saw Jesus and then
Someone stood up for Stephen
When Stephen stood up for Him
Stephen kept right on preaching
He just wouldn't back down
He was living for Jesus
No matter who was around
Oh, they just couldn't stop him
Now matter how they tried
Stephen knew that to live is Christ
And Christians never die
CHORUS
Don't you know
You can trust the Lord?
His Holy Word is true
If you stand up for Him
I know He'll stand up for you

We Are His Heart
Words and music by Ray Boltz and Steve Millikan
Their lonely eyes stare out
From the houses on my street
Sometimes I turn away
Before it starts to bother me
But this time something's wrong
I must have watched too long
I can't erase their faces
From my mind
CHORUS:
We are His heart
Is His heart beating?
We are His hands
Are His hands reaching?
When will we realize
That you and I
Must do our part?
It's time to start
We are His heart
Two thousand years ago
Upon a distant hill
A little boy gave all he had
And multitudes were filled
Where is that child today
Who gave it all away?
Where is that love?
We cannot let it die
CHORUS
Hands reach
Reaching out in desperation
In a dying world
Their lonely voices cry
I hear a heart beat
I can feel it growing stronger
We've got to reach out to them
We just can't turn away again
Where is that love?
We cannot let them die
