If you were to appear in court

Visitors2

If tonight you stood in Hevean's court
To seek eternal favor
Would you face Jesus Christ as judge
Or would you face Him as your Saviour?

There are many who don't quite know for sure
What that verdict would be if ever
So let's imagine for a moment you're standing dead center
In the courtroom of forever

Sitting before you is a structure
Massive and intense
It's here your fate will be determined
Before this Judge's bench

Then a voice booms, "This court's now in session."
And your adrenaline starts to rush
Peering down with eyes that see through your soul
Is God the Father; your Judge

Then off to your left, across the room
Is the virtual silhouette of sin
Stepping out of the shadows of condemnation
Your worst nightmare walks in

On his face is the smirk of evil incarnate
His mind fixed on your destruction in hell
You've just been introduced to your prosecuting attorney
None other than Satan himself

The Bible says he's the accuser of the brethren
So guess what he's gonna do
He's gonna accuse you of your sins
And he knows them all
Both the old ones and the new

He's prepared his case for years
Now the golden moment is his
So in arrogance he presents his case to the Judge
And it comes out sounding something like this

"God, you see this worthless piece of trash over here?
This one is a sinner to the core
This one has commited adultery, cursed his neighbor, stolen money
Been into drugs, alcohol and even more

This hopeless wretch has even slandered friends
And by that guilty face this whole courtroom can tell
That to a moral certainly and beyond and reasonable doubt
This one deserves eternal judgement in hell"

The words of accusation still echo
Your every sin thrown up in your face
Then God opens the book where ever deed is recorded
And reviews your records of disgrace

God says, "The book says you did this, this and this
And everything you were accused of today
Now, before I sentense you to hell forever
Are there any last words you have to say?"

Now, if it's true you're standing there in the courtroom of eternity
With God to your front and Satan the prosecutor to your left
There's on remaining eternal truth, on that's crucial to remember
On you should never, ever, ever forget

That on the other side of the courtroom
I said, on the other side of the courtroom
You ain't hearing me tonight
I said, on the other side of the courtroom

Is the one and only Son of God
Revealed in time and space
And He's your defense attorney
Who has never lost a case

It's not Buddha, Mohammed or Krishna
Or any other who succumb to death
Ladies and gentlemen on the other side of the courtroom
Is Jesus Christ of Nazareth

Then Jesus jumps up, says, "What a minute, Judge
Now I've got something to say
May I remind you that on a cross 2,000 years ago
I washed his sins away

I was crucified, I died, they put Me in a tomb
But long about the midnight hour
The power of God hit Me and I walked out of that grave
Alive and well with resurrection power"

The devil said, "It's in the book, it's written in the book
Check the book," and God said, "OK"
Then He takes the book out, lays it open and says
"Now we'll see what this book has to say"

He turns to the first page, the second page, the third
By the fourth, the devil seemed shook
God closes it and says, "The blood of Jesus must have worked
'Cause there is absolutely nothing in this book"

The devil says, "Now, wait a minute, check that book again
All his sins are written down, they're all right there"
God said, "Fevil, maybe you're mistaken all together
Maybe it's this other book down here"

The devil cries, "No! Not that book, not that one"
God said, "Devil, why you so uptight?"
God sets the book down, the dust flies
And on the cover it says
The Lamb's Book Of Life

Is your name in that book?
Is your name in that book?
Is your name in that book for sure?

If you've been forgiven
And your name is written
Then lift your hands, praise the Lord

Yes, my name's in that book
Yes, my name's in that book
Yes, my name's in that book tonight
I've been forgiven
And I know my name is written
In the Lamb's Book Of Life
In the Lamb's Book Of Life

This courtroom is adjourned

bet you can't guess who wrote this.

I have faced this question and
Jesus took me by the hand
Lead me to his marries grove
Told me here for what I strove.

Thirty pieces she did cost me
A little piece, heavenly
I boinked a whore, forgave her sins
And I will boink her once again.

93 million miles from the blistering surafce of the sun hands the planet earth. A rotating sphere perfectly suspended in the center of the universe. The ultimate creation from an infinate mind. An unbelievably intricate complex design. A supernatural testimony, an irrefutable sign that there is a God.

The size, position and angle of the earth is a scientific phenomenon to see. A few degrees closer to the sun we'd disintegrate, a few degrees furter we'd freeze. The axis of the earth is titled at a perfect 23 degree angle and it's no mistake that it is. This allows equal global distribution to the rays of the sun making it possible for the food chain to exist.

Or take for example the combination of nitrogen and oxygen in the atmosphere we breathe every day. It just happens to be the exact mix that life needs to prosper, it doesn't happen on any other planet that way.

You see, the Bible says the invisible things of God are seen through His creation, to believe this is not hair. If there's a design, there's a designer, if there's a plan, there's a planner and if there's a miracle, there is a God.

CHORUS:
There is a hope, there is a light
There is an answer to all answers
There is a flame that burns in the night
And I know, I know, I know there is a God

The Scripture says the heavens decalre the glory of God and the skies proclaim the work of His hands. If we allow our minds to drink in all the truth that surrounds the truth that just surrounds us, creation itself with help us understand.

Did you know the moon controls the tides, it's the maid that cleans the oceans. Even the waves don't crash the shores in vain. The tides drag impurities from the depths of the sea, it's nature's constrant recycling chain.

It simply boggles the mind to think that the stars will rotate with such exact precision that it's true. That the atomic clock with an error factor of less than three seconds per millenium is set by the way we move.

Though they silently orbit, the sun, the moon, the stars are like celestial evangelists above. Who circle the earth every 24 hours shouting in every languages that there is a God. Atheism is the wedge under the foundation of our faith, trying to topple our relationship with Christ. When the fool said in his heart, there is no God, he rejects the truth God painted on the canvas of the night. Atheism has never created an artistic masterpiece, never healed a fatal disease or calmed a fear. Atheism has never still given answers to our existence, peace to a troubled mind or even dried a tear.

For it's God who created heaven and earth and flung the stars in space and breathed in the handful of dirt and it became a man. It's God who sits on the circle of the earth and measures the mountains in a scale, and holds the seven seas in the palm of His hand. It's God who sent His only begotten Son to the cross of Calvary to save our souls from Hell and the grave. It's God who creates, God who delivers, God who heals and who is worthy of a thunderous ovation of praise.

Some people wonder why we take the chances that we do
To bring the word of God into the workplace and the schools
We're looked upon as outcasts
Fanatics they may say
So why then do we still persist
To share our faith this way
It's because...


We are not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
For it is the Word of God to every nation
We are not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
For it is the power of salvation

They're killing the kids in our schools
Something's wrong
The man on the news is confused
Something's wrong
The talking heads will argue
The philosophers will yack
And then the politicians take our questions
But give nothing back

Because the answer is not turning your leaf
The answer is not some new world relief
The answer is easy for those who are serious
Answer is... Jesus Period

Profanity reigns in the minds of our young
Something's wrong
We've got babies having babies
Their conscious is numb
Something's wrong
We've got suicides and homicides
and 1-900 lines
And then we find our pills and drugs and pills
And can't get satisfied

The answer is
The answer is
Jesus Period

If you're searching for solutions to define the
Right and wrong
You better sneak a look into the book
That's been here all along

I am the one, Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand
My image is of agony, my servants rape the land
Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name
Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law
My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore.

I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit
I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet
I rob you and I slaughter you, your downfall is my gain
And still you play the sycophant and revel in you pain
And all my promises are lies, all my love is hate
I am the politician, and I decide your fate

I march before a martyred world, an army for the fight
I speak of great heroic days, of victory and might
I hold a banner drenched in blood, I urge you to be brave
I lead you to your destiny, I lead you to your grave
Your bones will build my palaces, your eyes will stud my crown
For I am Mars, the god of war, and I will cut you down.

It's funny--I have a 14 year old daughter who lives in Mississippi right now. She came out to San Francisco last summer to visit me and she was all gothed out--black eyeliner, shredded clothes, spike studded collar. She got off the plane and I told her that she was going to have to do a lot better to be weird in San Francisco. After three days, she started dressing like a normal teenager.

Something like that. When you live in a town of about 15,000 (if it's that big) in Mississippi, it's not hard to be weird. All you have to do is not openly accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior and you're on your way. If you live with your openly lesbian mom and her girlfriend, you're pretty much stuck with the role. Might as well work it.

In the velvet darkness
of the blackest night
burning bright
there's a guiding star
no matter what
or who you are.

There's a light
over at the Frankenstein place.
There's a light
burning in the fireplace.
There's a light
In the darkness of everybody's life.

The darkness must go down the river of night's dreaming.
Flow morphia slow, let the sun and light come streaming
into my life

This is a prime example why I don't like most Christains: force-feeding everyone the gospel. Only a very few of them will quietly state their religion, verify they chose it (instead of accepting what is handed to them), and accepts the differences of others.

"I won't believe in heaven and hell; No saints, no sinners, no devil as well
No pearly gates, no thorny crown; You're always letting us humans down
The wars you bring, the babes you drown; Those lost at sea and never found
It's the same the whole world 'round; The hurt I see helps to compound
That Father, Son and Holy Ghost; Is just somebody's unholy hoax
And if you're up there you'd perceive; That my heart's here upon my sleeve
If there's one thing I don't believe in...It's you"

I had a gothy-industrial roommate last year from Ohio who told me when I moved in "California hasn't seen the likes of me." I had to tell him that we get busloads of dudes who say that everyday. Hell, 1/3rd of my bosses have had mohawks...The 'hey, look at me' bar is so high in Santa Cruz that the guy dressed like Spiderman climbing lamp posts and the guy driving around with a snake on his jeep don't even come close.

I never understood why people moved to-of all places-California in order to stand out.


It just doesn't work. At all. I dunno about anyone else who lives in California, but I've pretty much gotten to the point where I literally won't notice someone standing out-even if they do so in an obvious fashion. ANd I mean, I physically don't notice them unless my attention is drawn to them by an outside source.
