God Thing
Lyric by John Waller & Scott Johnson / Music by John Waller
I’m not real sure just what happened / I was on the floor / Crying out in desperation / And the next thing I remember / The heaviest load / Had been lifted from my shoulders / And I was tired of trying / Sick of feeling / Like I was dying •• It was a God Thing / Can’t explain it / Just like a freight train / Can’t slow it down / It was a God Thing / Can’t contain it / Sure of one thing / That I’m changing / What else can I say / It was a God Thing / When you’re staring at your ceiling / No more disguise / Just you and the one you’re needing / Then there’s a feeling that you’re drowning / Just hold out your heart / On the water someone’s walking / And I was tired of trying / Sick of feeling / Like I was dying / Well I might not know the words / Don’t know chapter - don’t know verse / But I know that I know that I know... ©2000 - nobox records ASCAP
High & Mighty
You and I, We are here for now / But someday we’ll be gone / Like the flowers and the grass / And every melody of every song / I see the midnight sky and I / Wonder why I’m on the mind of one / Higher than I •• He’s High and Mighty - A Strong Tower / I am sheltered by his power / He is ever standing by my side. / Rulers rise they fall and die / But by and by I’ll hide behind / The only - High and Mighty / No mountain high we see boasting / Proudly in the sky / Will dare refuse to glorify / I see the midnight sky and I / Wonder Lord just who am I / That I am on your Mind... ©1999 - nobox records ASCAP
Cloud Nine
Lyric by John Waller & Scott Johnson / Music by John Waller
She got the boy / He got the girl / She was on cloud nine / He was up on top of the world / Puppy love - They would lasso the moon - together / But he found another girl / When she had their boy / Anything for love / He said she was the only one / Nothing old - and nothing new / Now she’s alone with baby blue /Listen what she had to say... ••It’s not what I thought it would be / Not s’posed to happen to me / Wish I could go back in time / Just sixteen / Not how I thought it would be / Here on cloud nine / There is a boy / There is a girl / In God’s perfect time / Out there somewhere in the world / Just for you - You will lasso the moon - together / So will you trust the one / Who made the world? / He invented love / And made the one you’re dreaming of / But for now - and until then / Trust and wait on him / Listen what they had to say... / Just you wait and see / Just you wait and see / It’s not what you think it will be / You don’t have to be the one to say... ©2000 - nobox records ASCAP
Heaven Forbid
Lyric by Scott Johnson / Music by John Waller
Heaven forbid / That I refuse the pain and miss the grace / That you have for me in this place... / Heaven forbid / That my life be lived for passing things / And lives I touch remain the same... •• Heaven forbid / That I miss the truth / Heaven forbid / That I waste my youth / Do not permit the enemy / To have the victory / Over me / Heaven forbid / Heaven forbid / That I be a study of showmanship / And not become your workmanship... / Heaven forbid / That I carelessly sow convenient seeds / And convince myself you’re using me... / When I begin to wander away / I beg you, Lord, compel me to stay. ©1999 - nobox records ASCAP

She’s in Love
Lyric by Scott Johnson & John Waller / Music by John Waller
What a beautiful smile / A radiant girl / Fell in love first time I saw her / She stays on my mind / I’d give anything / To know everything about her / There’s light in her eyes / And I know it’s all for him / She carries on and on / Like he was her best friend •• She’s in love (repeat) /It’s not hard to see / But I would like to believe it was with me / Someone got a hold of her heart / And he won’t let go / And I know / She’s in love / She looks to the sky / When she talks about him / She believes he hung the moon / Said he had to go away / She waits for his return / Says he’s coming for her soon / How can this be fair? / This guy can walk on water / Don’t guess I’ve got a prayer / He’s written love letters - to reach her / She worships the ground he walks on / She just smiles when she says his name / It’s a match made in heaven / I can’t compete with the King of Kings ©2000 - nobox records ASCAP
Worth The Wait
Lyric by John Waller & Scott Johnson / Music by John Waller & Jason Hoard
The woman of my dreams / Is in the scheme of things / And she is worth the wait / There’s no one to compare / She is somewhere out there / She is worth the wait •• And as I lay me down to sleep / I pray the Lord her (your) heart to keep / And baby I don’t know your name / Don’t think I’ve seen your face / But you are worth the wait / I am not ashamed to / Be a virgin for you / Baby you are worth the wait / I’m working day and night / To be your Mr. Right / I’ll be worth your wait / Know that I will be true / And that I’ll wait for you / Cause you are worth it, babe / And I don’t know who you are / Already I love you / Can’t wait to meet you / Waiting for you. ©2000 - nobox records ASCAP
Standing Ovation
Lyric by John Waller & Scott Johnson / Music by John Waller / Praise outro "Holy" by Scotty Wilbanks
There once lived a man named Stephen / I read about him just the other day / A man of conviction / Who was not afraid to stand up for what he believed / He knew how to please the Father / By giving all the glory to the Son / With boldness he reminded the Pharisees / This Jesus really was the Holy One / Before the angry mob drug him, out of the city / To stone him, he would not compromise / Before the jagged edges cut him / He looked up into heaven / And when he turned his eyes, he saw a... •• Standing ovation - from Jesus Christ the King / A standing ovation - there was a great cloud of witnesses / Angels all singing / Many would deny the Savior / When standing face to face with death / But Stephen would not deny - he was ready to die / He would be faithful to the very last breath / He stood for Jesus, and Jesus stood for Him / I hope that one day I will become / Half the man that Stephen was / A man who is willing to stand for the Lord / In everything he does / I cannot wait to go to heaven / I’m gonna find Stephen in the crowd / That very first day / I’ll be standing right beside him / We’ll turn our eyes on Jesus / And join right in the praise / We’ll be giving Him a... •• Standing ovation - for Jesus Christ the King / A standing ovation, We’ll cry "Holy, Holy, Holy! / Worthy is the Lamb!" / Cause He could’ve called ten thousand angels / To return Him to his Father’s side / But Jesus would not turn His eyes - He was ready to die / He would be faithful to the very last breath./ For you are holy, holy, holy are you Lord my God ©1996 - nobox records ASCAP
Amazing
Lyric by Scott Johnson / Music by John Waller
Every choir and congregation/Every language, every nation / Together singing, then and now, "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound / How sweet the sound" •• Your grace is amazing / Your grace is amazing / All we like sheep have gone astray / Aimlessly wandering away / No shepherds face had tears like yours / Amazing is your grace, my Lord • Every child’s first recital / Still we hum the ageless title / Even slaves in chains sang / "I once was lost, but now I’m found / Now I’m found" / Sometimes I speak the careless sigh/"But for the grace of God go I" / I’m so amazed at how you rescued me / "I once was blind, but now I see / Now I see" / So amazing / Amazing is your grace / "Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound / That saved a wretch like me / I once was lost, but now I’m found / Was blind but now I see" ©1999 - nobox records ASCAP
Confession
Lyric by Scott Johnson & John Waller / Music by John Waller
Most merciful God / We confess that we have sinned against you / Forgotten who we are / By what we have done / And what we have left undone / Most merciful God / We have not loved you with our whole hearts / We’ve not loved each other / As we have loved ourselves / This is my confession ••This is my confession / The profession of my faith / Do you see me falling / On my knees and to my face? / Reveal in me what I’ve concealed / And I’ll turn from sin and you will heal me / And my house. / Most merciful God / We are truly sorry, and humbly repent / For the sake of your Son / And our Savior, Jesus Christ / This is my profession. Most merciful God / Have mercy on me, and forgive me / That I may delight in your will / And that I may walk in your ways / To the glory of your name. ©1999 - nobox records ASCAP
Matter
Lyric by John Waller / Music by John Waller
What’s the matter at hand? / It’s a matter of truth / And the matter with me / Is what’s the matter with you. / As a matter of fact / It’s a matter of sin / We need a savior. / So the matter at hand / Just a matter of time. / It’s a matter of seek / And a matter of find. / Oh the blind / They need to see / They need a savior. •• Do you know the heart of the matter? / Do you know what matters most? / Do you know what lasts forever / Is the Word of God and the souls of men? / So what matters to me / Is what matters to Him. / So the matter at hand / Is a matter of life / It’s a matter of death / And a matter of sight. / Oh, the blind / They need to see / He is the Savior. ©1998 - nobox records ASCAP
Perfect World
Lyric by John Waller & Scott Johnson / Music by John Waller & Scotty Wilbanks
In a perfect world / There are no sinners / Every daddy comes home / Nobody's alone / Every bottle caps a winner / In a perfect world / Every boy’s got a pony / Every heart we try to win / Won't say "Can't we just be friends?" / Nobody’s fake or phony. •• We don't have a perfect world / We’ll soon see a perfect world / God’s designed a perfect world / No tears in the perfect world / I believe the perfect God will one day / Take me to a perfect world / There’s a perfect world / No more rejection / All the broken homes / Replaced by the love / of a father’s affection / In a perfect world / Could you imagine / No bills to pay / No wicked ways / Everybody’s got a mansion? ©2000 - nobox records ASCAP
