Armed and Dangerous 
Words and music by Bob Hartman 
Based on 2 Corinthians 10:4, Ephesians 6:11-17

It used to be a distant call 
Thought to be for some but never all 
Now our wounded lay on every side 
Now this call to arms can't be denied 

The enemy will tremble 
As young and old assemble 
A mighty army up in arms 

(Chorus) 
Armed and dangerous 
God's enemies will scatter 
Armed and dangerous 
We'll see the darkness shatter 
This armor is worth it's weight 
No weapon can penetrate 
Armed and dangerous 
We're ready to storm the gate 

We're not so tough on our own 
Not one can even stand all alone 
Just a rag tag army at its best 
We sometimes even fail the smallest test 
But though this tribulation 
There comes a transformation 
We don the armor of our King 

Stand! 
Up against the flood 
Stand! 
Covered by His blood 
We are the standard He has raised 
Stand! 
Earnestly contend 
Stand! 
To the very end 
We've only just begun to fight 





I Am on the Rock 
Words and music by Bob Hartman and John Elefante 
Based on Matthew 7:24-27, 16:18

The earth is shakin' 
It's like a bad dream 
This world is crumblin' 
Comin' apart at the seam but 
I am on the Rock 

Everywhere I'm turning it's only bad news 
This bomb is tickin' and we're getting to the end of the fuse but 
I am on the Rock 

(Chorus) 
I am on the Rock, the sure foundation 
I am on the Rock, His revelation 
Though the winds may blow 
And though the floods may grow 
I shall not be moved, 'cause I am on the Rock 

The storm's approaching, I'm standing high and dry 
Firmly planted on the Rock that is higher than I 
I am on the Rock 

Kingdoms failing, they fall around me 
Plans eroded, and washing away to the sea 

There is no Rock in this world but our God 





Creed 
Words and music by Bob Hartman 
Based on the Apostle's Creed

I believe in God the Father - maker of heaven and earth 
And in Jesus Christ His only Son 
I believe in the virgin birth 
I believe in the Man of Sorrows bruised for iniquities 
I believe in the Lamb who was crucified and hung between two thieves 

I believe in the resurrection on the third and glorious day 
And I believe in the empty tomb and the stone that the angel rolled away 
He descended and set the captives free 
And now He sits at God's right hand and prepares a place for me 

(Chorus) 
This is my creed - the witness I have heard 
The faith that has endured 
This truth is assured 
Through the darkest ages past 
Though persecuted, it will last 
And I will hold steadfast to this creed 

I believe He sent His Spirit to comfort and to reveal 
To lead us into the truth and light, to baptize and to seal 
I believe that He will come back the way He went away 
And receive us all unto Himself, but no man knows the day 

I believe He is the Judge of all men, small and great 
The resurrected souls of men receive from Him their fate 
Some to death and some to life, some to their reward 
Some to sing eternal praise forever to our Lord 





Beyond Belief 
Words and music by Bob Hartman 
Based on Hebrews 6:1a, Romans 1:17, Philippians 1:6

We're content to pitch our tent 
When the glory's evident 
Seldom do we know the glory came and went 

Moving can seem dangerous 
In this stranger's pilgrimage 
Knowing that you can't stand still, you cross the bridge 

(Chorus) 
There's a higher place to go, beyond belief, beyond belief 
Where we reach the next plateau, beyond belief, beyond belief 
And from faith to faith we grow 
Towards the center of the flow 
Where He beckons us to go, beyond belief, beyond belief 

Leap of faith without a net 
Makes us want to hedge our bet 
Waters never part until our feet get wet 

There's a deeper place to go 
Where the road seems hard to hoe 
He who has begun this work won't let it go 

And it takes so long to see the change 
But we look around and it seems so strange 

We have come so far but the journey's long 
And we once were weak but now we're strong 





Love 
Words and music by Bob Hartman 
Based on 1 Corinthians 13

Love is patient, love is kind 
No eyes of envy, true love is blind 
Love is humble, it knows no pride 
No selfish motive hidden inside 
Love is gentle, makes no demands 
Despite all wrong, true live still stands 
Love is holy, love is pure 
It lasts forever, it will endure 

(Chorus) 
Love knows when to let go 
Love knows when to say no 
Love grows in the light of the Son 
And love shows the world that the Son of Love has come 

Love is loyal, believes the best 
It loves the truth, love stands the test 
Love is God sent in His Son 
Love forgives all we have done 

In this world where hatred seems to grow 
True love goes against the flow 
And becomes so hard to show 

In this world where push turns to shove 
We have strength to rise above 
Through the power of His love 
Lord, we need to know the power of Your love 





Underground 
Words and music by Bob Hartman and John Elefante 
Based on John 15:18, Philippians 1:28, Romans 8:37

Look at the front page, turn on the tv 
They fire another round at you and me 
Their guns are loaded, they're taking aim 
Nobody told them we're not all the same 
No paranoia, nobody could 
Just write it off as being Hollywood 
The innuendo between the lines 
Leaves no confusion 'bout what's on their minds 

(Chorus) 
I won't go underground 
I won't turn and flee 
I won't bow the knee 
I won't go underground 
I won't turn and hide from the rising tide 
I won't go underground 
I won't compromise what the world denies 
I won't go underground 
And I'm not ashamed of the cross I've claimed 

They're taking notes on what we say 
You know they'd like to lock us all away 
Can't stop the movement, can't make it slow 
Persecution always makes us grow 
They got my number, it's no surprise 
I'm here and wearing no disguise 
Bring on the lions and heat up the fire 
It's not enough to stop this man's desire 

(2nd Chorus) 
I won't go underground 
I won't turn and flee 
I won't bow the knee 
I won't go underground 
I keep holding fast till the very last 
I won't go underground 
I will turn my cheek, I will boldly speak 
I won't go underground 
I am not ashamed of the cross I've claimed 

I know the Spirit behind this force 
It's not surprising if you know the source 
I pray for freedom for helpless ones 
And I keep standing till the new day dawns 

And I won't lay low as the hatreds grow 





Seen and Not Heard 
Words and music by Bob Hartman 
Based on Matthew 7:3,5, James 1:2, Matthew 5:16

Too many black sheep in the family 
Too many stones from a house of glass 
They've heard the story, they've heard the lines 
But talk is too cheap to change their minds 
They want to see some vital signs 

Convictions - in the way we live 
Convictions - not a narrative 
Actions speak a little louder than words 

(Chorus) 
Seen and not heard, seen and not heard 
Sometimes God's children should be seen and not heard 
There's too much talk and not enought walk 
Sometimes God's children should be seen and not heard 

Delayed reaction to hostility 
Brings us into reality 
Cause when we answer in our defense 
They can see through the false pretense 
They want to see some evidence 

Commitment - no more alibis 
Commitment - not a compromise 
Actions speak a little louder than words 

Let your light so shine in all you do 
With an answer near when they come to you 
Don't let your mouth start talkin' 
Until your feet start walkin' 





Last Daze 
Words and music by Bob Hartman 
Based on 1 Timothy 4:1, 2 Thessalonians 2:11, 2 Timothy 4:3-4

Somewhere in the darkest night a stranger has lost the way 
Cold wind and a distant light has carried his heart away 
Some say he was one of us, a prodigal gone astray 
But inside he's as cold as ice to the truth that he won't obey 
He won't discern - the point of no return 

(Chorus) 
In the last daze - the final haze 
There was strong delusion to believe a lie 
In the last daze before the blaze 
They couldn't see beyond their misty trance 
To grab the truth and have a fighting chance 
In the last daze 

Cold chills when the Spirit speaks that some shall depart from the faith 
All ends in calamity just when they thought it was safe 
They followed the lies - the fables men devised 

Some say it's a certainty, a sign of the times I am told 
But I weep for the souls of those who will never return to the fold 





What's in a Name 
Words and music by Bob Hartman 
Based on Philippians 2:9-10

Some men called Him Rabbi, good teacher, nothing more 
The Son of just a carpenter who taught along the shore 
Some men called Him Master, Elijah come again 
Some left their nets to follow Him to learn to fish for men 
Some say He's Messiah, I Am, who's always been 
The Baptist called Him Lamb of God who takes away our sin 

(Chorus) 
What's in a name that the demons flee 
What's in a name that the captives go free 
What's in a name that every knee should bow 
In the name of Jesus, name above all names 
There is power and glory, forever and ever 
Forever and ever 

Some said Son of David returning to His throne 
Some said He's the Son of Man with origin unknown 
And one said He's the Son of God, the Rock on which we stand 
The Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end 

No other name can sound so sweet 
No other name is so complete 
No other name can bring release 
The Mighty God, the Prince of Peace 





Prayer 
Words and music by Bob Hartman and John Elefante 
Based on 1 Thessalonians 5:17-18, Ephesians 6:18-19, Matthew 6:9-13

First I want to thank You Lord for being who You are 
For coming to the rescue of a man who's drifted far 
For calling me to be Your son and calling me to serve 
Lord the way You've blessed my life is more than I deserve 

Keep the ones I love so dearly 
Fill their emptiness while I am gone 
And fill the loneliness in me 

(Chorus) 
This is my prayer 
Lifted to You 
Knowing You care even more than I do 
This is my prayer 
Lifted in Your name 
Your will be done I humbly pray 

Let me be the evidence of what Your grace can do 
To a generations struggling to find themselves in You 
May they come to know the love of God 
May their eyes be made to see 
Give me the opportunity to share the truth that sets them free 
And may unity in all things 
Be the banner of Your church 
And let revival's fire begin to burn 

As we face the last and final hours 
Turn a wayward country back to You 
And keep us from the evil that devours 
Keep us on the path and lead us through 
Keep us in Your light until Your kingdom comes 
And our work is done 

This is my prayer 
Lifted to You 
Knowing You care so much more than I do 
This is my prayer 
In Jesus' name 
Your will be done I humbly pray 
This is my prayer
