We’ve know peace and we have known war Seen prosperity trample the poor With the hopes of those gone before We live in faith This world has nothing compared To the promised glory we’ll share If we just hold fast ‘til we’re there We live in faith We’ll rise again Death’s not the end We’ll rise again Death’s not the end You knew sorrow and you knew our pain You saw religion manipulate grace By your wounds our sins are erased We live in faith This world it surely will fade Just as night surrenders to day When death is laid in the grave We live in faith We’ll rise again Death’s not the end We’ll rise again Death’s not the end We’ve know peace and we have known war Seen prosperity trample the poor With the hopes of those gone before We live in faith

It’s too late and we can’t sleep Too many stories at our feet Too many lives are on repeat And we must show them We’ve been paralyzed by fear Paralyzed for many years Held hostage by the lies They have told us Everybody sees the problems But nobody wants to solve them Now’s not the time to look the other way Now’s not the time to put our love away There’s a glorious truth, a glorious news That must be told, must be shown Are we ever gonna lead Are we ever gonna see Or are we only gonna dream of The way things ought to be We can’t expect to be received We can’t expect to be believed But we can tell the truth of love And invite the world to breathe Now’s not the time to look the other way Now’s not the time to put our love away There’s a glorious truth, a glorious news That must be told, must be shown

I’m going down to the water I’m gonna wash away my sins Getting baptized by the preacher Coming up a better man Oh oh oh oh oh oh I’m going down to the chapel I’m gonna say a prayer for you Maybe Jesus will hear me Though I don’t know what I’ll say Oh oh oh oh oh oh I’m going down to the city I’m gonna walk among the leaves It’s cold but it’s still pretty Wonder if you ever think of me Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Come, thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace; streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above. Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it, mount of thy redeeming love. Here I raise mine Ebenezer; hither by thy help I'm come; and I hope, by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God; he, to rescue me from danger, interposed his precious blood. O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be! Let thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here's my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above.

When peace, like a river, Attendeth my way,
 When sorrows like sea billows roll;
 Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
 It is well, it is well, with my soul. 
It is well, with my soul,
 It is well, it is well, with my soul. My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
 My sin, not in part but the whole, 
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
 Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! It is well, with my soul,
 It is well, it is well, with my soul. And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
 The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
 The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
 Even so, it is well with my soul. It is well, with my soul,
 It is well, it is well, with my soul.
