11. Now - NOTES (Words and music by David Green) - GUITAR TABS HEAR SAMPLE MP3 In time's past we were not whole We had no spirit, just body and soul The natural senses, the carnal flesh Was then renewed and now we're blessed We learned that Jesus had paid the price We all were saved because of Christ The world gave bondage with its decrees And now we're whole, we are made free CHORUS We are saved And now....we are justified And now....we are free from sin And now....we will never be condemned We're not of those who are finite We have the power of Christ inside In the competition, God's word will win He makes us righteous, He clears our sin And now we have the gift inside And we have mercy with God on our side And now we're lights and reconciled Now we are the sons of God CHORUS |
12. Endurance - NOTES (Words and Music by David Green) Blessed Assurance - Gospel Remake (Traditional; Arranged by David Green) HEAR SAMPLE MP3 Stand fast, persist - don't give up Be those who by patience receive the promise Strengthened with might by His energized power With endurance of the hope and the Word of God to guide us We need the endurance when we do the will of God For the lack of endurance is like a man going blind Not seeing that God purged him from his sins And set Jesus Christ as the man for all time Job was upright and a mature man of God Abstained from all evil but just once he had fear Satan busted a hole in Job's protective hedge And took all from Job that he held so dear He never blamed God 'cause he held fast his mind When the three comforters tried to stab him in the back He retained his hope for the first ressurection And because of his endurance, there was nothing he would lack CHORUS: Stand together as one, listen to God's call Don't give up your life, but give it your all Hold fast to the Word, The Father has given us the hope that we endure At the gathering together, we'll meet him in the air To be taken away from the wrath to come As sudden as a woman goes in labor with her child The destruction of the unjust will have surely begun But for us, there will be a falling away first At the time when the dead in Christ shall rise When the voice of the arch and the trump of God Starts the end of the devil's corruption and lies CHORUS Prove the Word to build your endurance When the tribulations come, then make it through Endure it, so that you can be strong, 'Cause our walk tells the devil of his coming doom When the adversary tries to choke you by the throat And the pressures try to keep you from being free God promised the hope so you can remember This is just for a moment out of all eternity CHORUS |
