Casting Crowns

I got this CD for Christmas and I highly recommend it.

WHAT IF HIS PEOPLE PRAYED

What if the armies of the Lord

Picked up and dusted off their swords

Vowed to set the captives free

And not let satan have one more

What if the church, for heaven's sake

Finally stepped up to the plate

Took a stand upon God's promise

And stormed hell's rusty gates

What if His people prayed

And those who bare His name

Would humbly seek His face

And turn from their own way

And what would happen if we prayed

For those raised up to lead the way

Then maybe the kids in school could plray

And unborn children see light of day

What if the life that we pursue

Came from a hunger for the truth

What if the family turned to Jesus

Stopped asking Oprah what to do

He said that they would hear

His promise has been made

He'll answer loud and clear

If onle we would pray

If My people called by My name

If they'll humble themselves and pray

If My people called by My name

If they'll humble themselves and pray

What if His people prayed

YOUR LOVE IS EXTRAVAGANT

Your love is extravagant
Your friendship, it is intimate
I feel like moving to the rhythm of Your grace
Your fragrance is intoxicating in our secret place
Your love is extravagant

Chorus:
Spread wide in the arms of Christ is the love that covers sin
No greater love have I ever known You considered me a friend
Capture my heart again

Spread wide in the arms of Christ is the love that covers sin
No greater love have I ever known; You considered me a friend

Capture my heart again
Your love is extravagant
Your friendship, it is intimate

IF WE ARE THE BODY

It's crowded in worship today

As she slips in trying to fade into the faces

The girls teasing laughter is carrying farther than they know

Farther than they know

But if we are the body

Why aren't His arms reaching?

Why aren't His hands healing?

Why aren't His words teaching?

And if we are the body

Why aren't His feet going?

Why is His love not showing them there is a way?

There is a way

A traveler is far away from home

He sheds his coat and quietly sinks into the back row

The weight of their judgmental glances

Tells him that his chances are better out on the road

Jesus paid much too high a price

For us to pick and choose who should come

And we are the body of Christ

Jesus is the way

VOICE OF TRUTH

Oh what I would do to have

Thekind of faith it takes to climb out of this boat I'm in

Onto the crashing waves

To step out of my comfort zone

Into the realm of the unkown where Jesus is

And he's holding out His hand

But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me

Reminding me of all the times I've tried b4 and failed

The waves they keep telling me

Time and time again, "Boy, you'll never win!"

"You'll never win!"

But the voice of truth tells me a different story

The voice of truth says, "Do not me afraid!"

And the voice of truth says, "This if for my glory."

Out of all the voices calling out to me

I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

Oh what I would do to have

The kind of strength it takes to stand b4 a giant

With just a sling and a stone

Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors

Shaking their armor

Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at me

Reminding me of the times I tried b4 and failed

The giant keeps telling me

Time and time again, "Boy, you'll never win!"

"You'll never win!"

But the stone was just the right size

To put the giant to the ground

And the waves they don't seem so high

From on top of them lookin' down

I will soar with the wings of eagles

When I stop and listen to the sound of Jesus

Singing over me

I will choose to listen and believe in the voice of truth
