I've got your number

and when my life it has come to a close
I've run the good race and defeated my foes

Read All About It
I get my head together on a Saturday morning
a victim of the night it's called social action
I'm just trying to keep up with the times
moving with the crowd and they want it loud
I keep saying I'll never do it again
same old line I?m right back out there again.
Chorus
you can read all about it
you can read all about it
you can read all about it
you can read all about it
my eyes catch the morning paper on the table
it's a brand new day but nothing's changed
sickness crime and poverty are the headlines that I see
there's got to be some good news someday
Chorus
my head's so much cleaner
it's a brand new morning
I can see the world through different eyes now
peace love and harmony
the Bible says these are for me
I thank God for the good news today
Chorus
Hold On Tight
I see the neon lights
as they light the city sky
I see a desperate boy
at the moment that he cries
I see him reaching out
his hand is to the sky
I'm telling you don't let go
God is on your side
Chorus
hold on tight, never let Him go
hold on tight, hold on
I feel the innocence
He's washed my sins away
I'm not afraid of the future now
His will is here to stay
reach out and hold on tight
He's with you all the time
I'm telling you don't let go
God is on your side
Chorus
keep on reaching out to Him
He's with you all the time
don't ever ever let it go
God is on your side
Chorus
Never Surrender
Put on the armor you've got the sword
prepare to fight for you've got the final word
the power of darkness is pushing in
they call it fashion but it's known as sin
the Evil One knows all too well
gives you the world but you burn in hell
the Lord is with you for ever more
the power of God always wins the war
Bridge:
He can give the power to make it through
He gives us the strength, He cares for you
Chorus
never surrender, never say die, never, never
Jesus won the battle for you and I
never surrender never say die, never, never
Jesus won the battle for you and I
you've got the power don't be ashamed
you gotta stand up for the name of Jesus
can't be defeated he's breaking through
the power of God is coming down on you
a change is coming, it's in the air
stand up and shout He's coming back again
we've got the fire it's in our hearts
the hand of God will show you the way.
Bridge
Chorus
Big Time
There's a time for war

a time to grieve and a time to dance
this time is for you
Chorus
ain't no use in looking back, no
keep on plowing straight ahead, you

there's a time to run
and a time for looking ahead
there's a time to stay
and a time it's for you
Chorus

Chorus

NEWSBOYS - hell is for wimps
(Star Song Records 1990)
Stand Up For Jesus
Living for Jesus is the way I will go
I'll follow Him always, don't care what men say
I've been on both sides and I know where I'll stay
The light He has shown me will not fade away
Chorus
Stand up, stand up, stand up for Jesus
Oh can't you hear me, He's the way
Stand up, stand up, stand up for Jesus
Oh can't you hear me, He's the way
Where are you standing if you were to fall
Religion won't help you if He calls on you now
Stand up and be counted say I'm for the Lord
Don't keep so quiet, go forth and be bold
Chorus
In The End
I'm sick and tired on the world tellin' me
How to live my life
What beer I should drink to make me feel alright
The standards dropping the streets need mopping
The worlds tryin' to change the rules
They've forgotten just how we begun
Humanism taken its toll
Chorus
We'll know who's right in the end
Every knee shall bow
We'll know who's right in the end
Every tongue confess
So be a man and make up your mind
How to live your life
What standard have you set
To make you feel alright
The church is rising, no compromising
Holiness is cool
Men laugh, in the end they'll die
Evolutionists will pay the toll
Chorus
I'm sick and tired of the world tellin' me
How to live my life
What beer I should drink to make me feel alright
The standards dropping the streets need mopping
The worlds tryin' to change the rules
They've forgotten just how we begun
Humanists taken its toll
Chorus
Simple Man!
There has been a time
When the rains did fall
I could see the clouds
As they started to form
Chorus
I have lived my life as a simple man
Should my heart not make a sound
I've even tried to please the other man
Storing riches for my own
I have seen the fire
I have felt the flames
It seemed warm for a while
Then it started to burn
Chorus
All I Can See
We have walked in the shadows
Been through the storms
Fought many battles living to learn
But all I can feel is Your peace by my side
Bridge:
Down in the valleys with death and with fear
You have seen my heart broken but still You are near
Down in the valleys Your hand wipes my tears
You have seen my heart broken
But still I'm singing
Chorus
All I can see is love in Your eyes
All I can feel is peace by Your side
All I can see is love in Your eyes
With that I know You're walking by my side
You're in my eyes cause all I can see
Is love in Your eyes
You look as clear
As when this journey began
My eyes have been opened
To love through Your Son
I praise You for Him
For He has been my guide
Bridge
Chorus
Ten Thousand Miles
For we have known how to be in need
And we have known what it is to have plenty
There are costs that we all must pay
For some its harder harder for them to stay
Chorus
I will live for you
I'll walk with you I'd even die for you
I will follow you ten thousand miles
Ten thousand more
For I have seen a vision of heaven
And we are here for just a short lived time
No time to chase the gold, the glory
There is a fire, fire in our hearts
Chorus
We have learned a valuable secret
To be content in every situation
We can do everything through Him
He gives us strength to, strength to
Chorus
Somethin's Missing
Do you know who you're gonna be today
Do you know know what part your gonna play
When you stare into the mirror yeah
Empty eyes speak more words than I can say
Chorus
Is somethin missing in your life today
Somethin's missing, missing, missing somethin's
Is somethin missing ion your life today
Somethin's missing, missing, missing somethin's
You may say that all the world's a stage
Is the script for your role an empty page
Do your actions have a meaning yeah
Will they last, or will they quickly fade away
Chorus
Get Up For Love
Island life in the sun
Tryin' to hide from everyone
Livin' a life that pleases you
Big walls that hide you
Where were you those days Wooooo
When love called, you were away Wooooo
You know people lost yeh
Bring down those walls yeh
Chorus
Its time to make a stand, get up, get up
Its time to take the land
Get up, get up for love
Island life in the sun tryin' to hide from everyone
Livin? a life that pleases you, big walls that hide you
Friends lost with hell to pay Woooo
Will you let them go that way
People caught by death yeh Woooo
Do you love the lost yeh Woooo
Chorus
The devil comes to rob and to steal
Secret believer, believe me it?s real
Chorus
Sea Of Love
All these emotions I go through
I am so in love with you
True love has caught my heart
Girl its more than a feeling
Chorus
True love has come Wo oh
And swept me away
The big sea of love
We?re together forever
You have my heart
You touch me each day
You are daughter of Sarah
I never knew why God blessed me
With a woman like you
But now I know His hand's on me
And He knew I needed you
Chorus
I will always treasure you
You are there when I need you
It is love that will prevail
And stand the test of time
Love You Tomorrow
We've walked along a sandy beach
I?ve talked You?ve listened
Sometimes we laughed
Sometimes we just enjoyed each other
I don't know why You love me
I just know it's there
Father, Father I have longed to know Your way
Bridge:
For You have seen me
With emptiness behind my eyes
And You will look for me
And long to hear me say
Chorus
Cause I'll love You tomorrow
More than today
A love that grows stronger
In a very special way
And when the sands grew deep
You carried me to higher ground
And we'd rejoice and share the Love
That we have deep inside
You won?t leave me, I won't lose You
For our love is never blind
For there is nothing in this world
That can give me what You can
Bridge
Chorus
Victory
Now turn your back on things of the world
Let?s have our victory through Jesus
Trust in the Lord with all your heart
In all your ways acknowledge Him
And He shall make your paths straight
If any man be in Christ he is new
Chorus
We, we have the victory through Jesus
We, we have the victory through Jesus
Let's stand and proclaim His name
Throughout the earth
Throughout the earth
There is a way that seems right unto a man
But it will end in death I say
The way I walk is chosen by the Lord
And He shall give His angels charge
To watch over you
If any man he take in Christ he is new
Chorus
NEWSBOYS - boys will be boyz
(Star Song Records 1991)
Kingdom Man
Step by step
Day by day
You have changed my world
I am a Kingdom man
I heard the birds a singing
Saw the flowers
in the field
Thy heart was all on fire
With that moment I did yield
I shout it form the rooftop
Shout it from the hills
I'm now a new creation
I have found my way
Step by step
Day by day
You have changed my world
I am a Kingdom man
Jesus lifted me out of the miry day
He stood me on a rack
And that's where I will stay
Ma name is down in heaven
No man can take it out
The Word of God is true
It casts out all the doubt
You And Me
There was a time
When time was mine
I never lived for you
I couldn't see
That you and me
Were ever meant to be
Chorus
You and me were meant to be
You had a plan but I couldn't see
You and me were meant to be
You had a plan but I couldn't see
I looked today
And saw the way
The way I used to be
Your hand reached out
You lifted me
From the miry day
Chorus
You and me were meant to be
You got a plan and now I see
One Heart
Shipwrecked on the rocks of pride
Shipwrecked on the rocks of fear
My heart is torn apart when you're not here
Life goes by like a dream
When we die will it seem
That our hearts weren't always on the One
Chorus
One heart, one mind, one soul
One heart, one mind, one soul
One heart after You
There are hearts undecided
Some are hard and subdivided
A heart couldn't break the chains on me
Let me plow up the ground
Make it so I can see
I want to grow, I want Your love in me
Chorus
Well I was shipwrecked on the rocks, the rock of pride
Slowly and surely, in came the tide
Life goes by like a dream
When we die will it seem
That our life was wasted by the things we tasted
Wake up, wally, it's time to face it
Lifting Jesus up makes me feel up
Chorus
Turn
You say My love goes away
I say it's there forever
I know you'll see the day
That love will leave you never
I wait around the river bend
Lead Me through the rapids ahead
And when the waters rise
I'll be there
I can be the One you turn to
I'm not a god of wood or stone
Trust in Me and I will show you
My love will never leave you alone
Don't let your faith be shattered
Stand firm on that shaky ground
Reach out, give your praise to Me
Let Me take your heavy burden
I see the time ahead
I stop the danger in the night
I know your breaking strain
I'll be there
I can be the One you turn to
I'm not a god of wood or stone
Trust in Me and I will show you
My love will never leave you alone
Precious Love
Like a moth drawn to the flame
I am drawn to the mighty name of Jesus
Like a deer that pants for water
My heart cries out to You to fill my life with all of You
Bridge:
It's You I want to strengthen me
For all the days of my life
Chorus
How could I have ever lived without Your precious love
How could I expect to carry on
You give love that soothes fire that burns within my soul
And You will always send it 'round my way
Through a shadow will pass away
Your love for me will stand the test of time
When You fill me with Your water
My hands reach out to You to touch my life with all of You
Bridge:
It's You I want to strengthen me
For all the days of my life
Chorus
Lord, I pledge the highest
The highest that can be from a heart
Bridge:
It's You I want to strengthen me
For all the days of my life
Chorus
Taste And See
Chorus
Taste and see that the Lord is good
Taste and see He's so good for you
For the light will bring to all
A harvest good and plenty
But for those who don't believe it
Their life will still be empty
Chorus
Don't let yourself be taken
By the foolish words of men
They say that God is tasteless
But they've never tasted Him
Chorus
Not Stand Silent
We live a life
Day by day
A walk of faith
Not by sight
We generate, permeate
Close the gate
On the dirty devil
The day will come
When we are told
If we are righteous
By the Lord of old
A sacrifice complete in Him
We're here today
But we're gone tomorrow
Chorus
We will not be silent
We will not stand alone
We will not be silent
We will not stand alone
All God's people
Hand in hand
Divided we fall
United we stand
Your Kingdom come
Thy will be done
Here on earth
Like it is in heaven
Heaven and earth will pass away
But Your Word
Will stand forever
Eternal life is in our reach
Eternal hell is not that funny
Chorus
Sing Aloud
It's a funny thing getting a song from the Lord
You feel His power and the revelation flow
Then there are people who tell you it's not cool
To mention Jesus or lift up His name
Chorus
Newsboys will sing aloud
Sing unto the King of kings
Newsboys will dance, dance, dance
Before the Lord
Don't matter what the magazines have said before
What they say carries no weight in heaven
There's only one God we aim to please
And that's our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ
Chorus
And so these people talk like there's nothing in His name
The unsaved will only turn away (that's what they say)
I know they can't be talking 'bout my Jesus
Because there's power, power in His name
Chorus
Stay With Me
When I think of love
I think of You
When I think of You
I think of forever
I'm like a child in Your arms
I feel so loved by You
Chorus
Stay with me a while
Stay with me a while
Oh, stay with me
Stay with me a while
Stay with me a while
Oh, stay with me
You are my heart's desire
We walked the desert night
I felt Your fire strong
Your glory comes to me
Living water will set me free
Pour out Your Spirit now
Eternal spring, heal me
Chorus
Stay with me
We can walk the furthest mile
Water me
For You are my heart's desire
Chorus
Israel
Rise up and shine, oh nation of Israel
Don't you know you are the apple of His eye
Rise up in power, you chosen people
It's time for you to take your wings and fly
Rise up and shine
Your hour has come
Chorus
End times are coming
I know you'll go the distance
End times are here
I know you will not fall
All nations will sound up in these final days
They come from everywhere just to see you fall
Keep your eyes fixed upon the mighty Saviour
Don't let your heart despair at all
Rise up and shine
Your hour has come
Chorus
NEWSBOYS - not ashamed
(Star Song Records 1992)
I Can Not Get You Out Of My System
Oi. Boy. Got a new gig? It's jammin'
your brain like a too-tight wig.
Stuff this new religious phase.
Your home is here in the yellow haze.
Oi. Boy. What are you doin'?
Wearing your faith like a new tattoo
when friends and formers don't approve this.
(Steelo pads will not remove this.)
Chorus
I cannot get you, I do not want you out of my system.
I cannot get you, I do not want you out of my head.
Oi. Boy. What are you on?
We'd try to help you but you're too far gone.
First we thought you'd be rejecting us.
Now we're scared you'll start infecting us.
Oi. Boy. Come again.
Someday soon it'll all sink in,
as all your efforts to inspire us
spread like some computer virus.
Chorus
Always stalled by hidden fears,
always stuck in neutral gears until
I gave the driver's seat away.
Take my life and make it real.
Turn the key and take the wheel.
Push the throttle through the floor, evermore...
Chorus
I'm Not Ashamed
Chorus
I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show.
I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ.
What are we sneaking around for?
Who are we trying to please?
Shrugging off sin,
apologizing like we're spreading some kind of disease.
I'm saying, "No way. No way."
Chorus
This one warms it's lost cause ?
save your testimonies for church time.
The other ones state you'd better
wait until you do a little market research.
I'm saying, "No way. No way."
Chorus
Where You Belong / Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
When you´re dull from all that glitters,
when you´re thoughts have a hollow ring,
when you can´t escape from the you´re getting it wrong...
All your foolproof plans seem foolish,
all your status is status quo,
all your really need to know is where you belong.
Chorus
Turn your eyes upon Jesus.
Look full in his wonderful face.
And the things of earth will grow
strangely dim in the light of his glory and grace.
I was used to the cold for so long
that couldn´t feel anything.
And I shivered and stared like a
beggar who won´t lift his hands.
I was numb until he touched me.
I was deaf until he heard.
I was senseless ´til I met the one who understands.
Chorus
Upon This Rock
Chorus
I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show.
I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ.
What are we sneaking around for?
Who are we trying to please?
Shrugging off sin, apologizing
like we're spreading some kind of disease.
I'm saying, "No way. No way."
Chorus
This one warms it's lost cause ?
save your testimonies for church time.
The other ones state you'd better
wait until you do a little market research.
I'm saying, "No way. No way."
Chorus
Strong Love
He swings to the left, she leans to the right,
but that doesn't make a flight a given.
And some pitch their tents in the middle of the fence,
but is doesn't matter where you're living.
His spirit's in me his spirit's in you,
so there's a common bond between us.
And the mission for me is a mission for you
we have a common cause to link us.
Chorus
Strong love yeah, people.
Strong strong love between us.
Strong love yeah, people,
and you know it's true that it always must be there.
He worships while he grooves,
she prays and barely moves,
but they're both reflecting pure devotion.
And some go for broke like headless chicken-folk
(inspiring jokes about paltry-in-motion).
His spirit's in me, his spirit's in you,
so there's a common bond between us.
And the mission for me is a mission for you
we have a common cause to link us.
Chorus
Now don't just agree and then wait on history -
this is not a duty-free abstraction.
Divisors get blurred and the message
gets heard by puttin' Jesus' words in action.
It's a master design it's a million watt sign.
You can see it shine like patent leather.
It's a way people see how heaven's
gonna be when we live in unity together.
Chorus
Strong love yeah, people.
Strong strong love between us.
Strong love love yeah, people,
And you know it feels like it always will be there.
Dear Shame
I catch you digging in my trash for stuff
I've long thrown away. You bring it back on a tray.
And I hear you wheezing in the hall
spreading gems and old news.
You always love to confuse.
I flee the light just to live in your shadow.
I'm needing mercy and you offer me blame.
Chorus
Dear Shame:
You're oh so eager to toy with me.
You're always stealing the joy in me.
You love to whisper my name,
Dear Shame, Dear Shame.
You've got me living like a bug, crawling in fear.
(It's been a very long year.)
I dream of growing some wings,
I think I'm flying away, then you point and you spray.
All my hidden secrets crave the light of forgiveness.
You pull the shades, you accuse and you blame.
Chorus
I fled the light just to live in your shadow.
I needed mercy, and you offered me blame.
Chorus
Dear Shame:
I think I'm wise to your strategy.
I won't be needing your company.
My name's eternally clear, Dear Shame, Dear Shame.
Boycott Hell
DeGarmo & Key
Rap by Steve Taylor
We've gotta job to do. We're runnin'
out of time to do it. You've got a gift to use.
Get out in the world and use it.
Bury your foolish pride.
We've gotta unionize.
Hey, don't you think it's time to boycott hell?
Boycott hell.
We've got the strength to win standing arm in arm together.
Forget our differences, we can change the world forever.
Bury your foolish pride.
We've gotta unionize. Hey,
don't you think it's time to boycott hell?
Don't let a neighbor go, form a holy picket line.
We've gotta let them know.
Don't you think it's time to boycott hell.
Guess who comin' through with a little disclaimer.
Tune's OK but the words are gettin' lamer.
Ain't no saint can legitimitize.
Rhymin' "pride" with "time" with "unionize".
See I agree we otta boycott hell.
But we otta boycott dumb lyrics as well.
Don't let a neighbor go, form a holy picket line.
We've gotta let them know.
Don't you think it's time to boycott hell.
We've got a job to do.
We're running out of time to do it.
You've got a gift to use.
Get out in the world and use it.
Bury your foolish pride.
We've gotta unionize.
Hey, don't you think it's time to boycott hell.
Boycott hell.
We Come Together
Waiting. We're waiting for apologies,
and we're waiting.
We're both expecting sympathies.
Another hour is gone.
We sulk and carry on so stubborn-hearted.
Waiting. We're marking secret borders now,
and we're waiting. We're in our separate corners now.
We wait for night to fall.
We can't even recall what got this started.
Chorus
Now is the time and here is the place,
'cause we lose these hours and
casting blame when we should be saying grace.
We can find a better way.
We can stand on common ground.
We can work this out between us
before the sun goes down.
We come together.
Waiting. We don't know what we're trying to prove,
but we're waiting.
Until the other makes a move we stick to our facades.
We only speak in nods and sullen glances.
Waiting. Our shadows just get longer now.
We need to start again before
this day has stolen all our chances.
Chorus
Love Comes True
"18, and I'm outta here."
She had reached her independence day.
Never saw her mother's private
tears or the times her daddy
prayed to God to see her through.
Chorus
Love comes true...
"21 and I'm so confused,"
getting up her nerve to call collect.
"I do not need help from anyone,
but there's a few little words
I did neglect to say to you..."
Chorus
Love comes true...
No turning back the clock,
just waiting for a knock.
Lord, if she only knew.
Love comes with patience.
Love lost is found. 32, married,
and kids for her own,
she's come around. She needs
them zoo help her through.
Chorus
Love comes true...
Love is sending out a light.
Love is gonna make it right.
Love is finally getting through.
Lost The Sky Again
Like a crimminal guilty on all counts,
rattling his cage with every ounce
of resolve he never had, I was convicted.
Then I took the pardon and the walls came down,
but I must like it here, 'cause
I keep hanging around for a better suit,
and an escort, and a winning lottery ticket.
First we waited for miracles.
Then we needed a sign.
Now we're here to confess we've wasted the time.
Chorus
Every blade will wither and fade,
as the old man dies again. Season pass,
we're clinging to grass, 'cause we've lost the sky again.
Like a woman trying to give birth,
she strains, she labors,
she's not sure if it's worth the suffering,
as she wonders, "How long?"
When I first heard the rumor
you were coming back I confess my impatience,
I guess I lost track of what I'm to persevere for,
of the reason you put me here for.
Back then it was any day now.
Never dreamed we were wrong.
Now we're shaking our heads,
wondering, "how long?"
Chorus
Every blade... I feel a moment of your perfect love.
I catch a glimmer of your sweet grace.
But it only makes me long for
the day when I look full in your face.
