Come After Me
Lyrics
Verse 1:
If you would follow me
You must lay down your life
Take up your cross, and count as loss
Your glory and your pride
Verse 2:
The riches of this world
All power and human praise
Will slip like sand, right through your hands
But my love will remain
Chorus:
Come, come after me, come after me
Don’t lose your life trying to save it
I know it’s hard but it’s worth it, you’ll see
Come after me
Verse 3:
If you would follow me
My way leads first to death
But then to life, my risen life
To lasting joy and rest
I’m the treasure in the field
You must sell your all to buy
But the riches there, beyond compare
It makes the cost seem light
Chorus
Tag (5x):
If I am anything, I must be everything
Come after me

Jesus, Full of Compassion
Lyrics
Verse 1:
I am the outcast leper
Falling helpless to my knees
You are the one who would touch me
Stretch out your hand, To make me clean
Verse 2:
I am the bleeding woman
Desperate reaching for your robes
You are the one who stops for me
You call me daughter, And make me whole
Chorus:
Jesus, full of compassion
With love for the broken
Beating in your heart, Beating in your heart
(That we’d know the love of God)
Verse 3:
I am like Lazarus buried
While Martha and Mary grieve in pain
You are the one who weeps for me
Tells me to rise up, Come out of the grave
Chorus
Bridge:
I am the haunted man in the graveyard
I am the woman awaiting the stones
I am the prodigal son
You’re like the Father who runs
Wraps me in love and carries me home
I am the crowd that calls for Barabbas
I am Peter denying your name
You take my cross and my death
You give me life instead
Your mercy is speaking right into my shame
Chorus

Let It Be So With Your Church
Lyrics
Verse 1:
As our Jesus in love touched the leper
Offered grace when they’d cast a stone
As he ate with the outcasts and sinners
With his church, let it be so
Verse 2:
As he preached the good news of the kingdom
As he healed them both body and soul
As he gave up his life for God’s children
With his church, let it be so
Chorus:
Let it be so with your church, O God
We are your hands and feet
As Jesus bent low to serve in love
So with us let it be
So with us let it be
Verse 3:
Let us go with our Lord to the margins
To the broken, the poor and the lost
By His Spirit, we’ll push back the darkness
Let his church take up her cross
Chorus
Bridge:
Come help us, Lord Jesus
To love as you loved (Oh, let it be so)
We remember your gospel
How you first loved us (Oh, let it be so)
To seek justice, love mercy
And care for the weak (Oh, let it be so)
To live now in light of
The kingdom we seek (Oh, let it be so)
Chorus

Turn the Tables
Lyrics
Verse 1:
You exploit the ones who would worship
Use devotion to make a dime
Sell the sacred to turn a profit
Make the holy into merchandise
When all the world tries to get in the building
They can’t get in the door cause it’s
Overcrowded with goods and salesmen
In the holy house of the Lord
Verse 2:
Jesus comes in turning over tables
Flies into a righteous rage
Makes a whip and drives out the idols
He’s jealous for His Father’s name
When all the world tries to get in the building
He’ll stand like an open door ‘cause in
Three days gonna raise a signal
This way to the house of the Lord
Chorus:
Turn the tables, turn the tables over
Turn the tables, turn the tables over
Verse 3:
Do you want to make a cut on the story
Do you want to see your name in lights
Do you want a percentage of the glory
It’s not something you commodify
Don’t you know that your heart is a temple
He’s knocking down your door so
Let Him in and he’ll turn over tables
Make your heart a house for the Lord
Chorus 2x

Who Is This Jesus?
Lyrics
Verse 1:
I saw his face shine like the sun, On the mountainside
Elijah and Moses were there, Pale in his glorious light
And a voice came like thunder
And I trembled all over
Said “This, my beloved child.”
Who is this Jesus, but the Son of God?
Verse 2:
I saw him walk on the waves, I saw him still the storm
I saw the demons afraid, But the children safe in his arms
He said Lazarus rise up
Wake from your sleep
And his dead heart started to beat!
Who is this Jesus, but the Son of God?
Verse 3:
I leaned my head, back on his chest, For he was my friend
He poured the wine, he broke the bread, It was near the end
I saw them take him
Beat him, try to break him
And hang him on the cross
They laughed, they mocked him
He said “God, forgive them
It’s finished, now it is done!”
The sky black as ink
The earth shook with grief
As he breathed his last and was gone
Who is this Jesus? Who is this Jesus?
Who is this Jesus, but the Son of God?
Who is this Jesus, but the Son of God?
Verse 4:
I saw the stone rolled away
I saw his empty tomb
I saw the scars in his hands
There in the upper room

Only the Sick Need a Physician
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Who is this man who sits with the sinners
Who dines with the drunkards
And loves the unclean
Oh who is this man who won't cast a stone
But honors the harlot
Who washes his feet, sayin’
Chorus:
Come, scarlet letters
You outcasts and debtors
I will call you my friends
I'll sit at your table
You broken and fatal
‘Cause only the sick need a physician
Oooooh
Verse 2:
Who is this man who calls God a father
The son of a blue collar carpenter man
Who calls us unclean, like tombs full of bones
We keep our religion,but whitewash our sin
Sayin’ be born again
Chorus
Verse 3:
And what kind of God would hang on a tree
Despised and rejected and nailed to the wood
You saved all the others, but can’t save yourself?
We don’t need you Jesus,we’re well and we’re good
And you're nailed to the wood
We never understood
There is none who is good! So

Gethsemane (Heavy Load to Carry)
Lyrics
I climbed a mountain with three friends
Feel the darkness pressing in
I ask them to please stay awake
And I go off alone to pray
Father, please would you take this cup?
It’s a heavy load to carry
But not my will, but what you want
Until I’m dead and buried
Sweat and blood they fall like tears
It seems the last star’s disappeared
Death it comes to separate
And my friends can’t stay awake
They came with clubs to capture me
An old friend he kissed my cheek
And all my friends they ran away
And I’m alone, denied, betrayed
My God, my God’s forsaken me
Hanging broken on a tree
“Who can save you now?” they laugh
The darkness comes, I breathe my last
