[Chorus] Praise the Lord, for goodness sake We’re all gonna take a Bible break I said, Praise the Lord, for goodness sake We’re all gonna take a Bible break So when your fingers start to pop and you’re feet start to tap You’re listening to the righteous rap
[Verse 1] Listen friends, lend an ear Because faith comes by the words ya hear I’m not talking jump, I’m not talking jive But I’ve got a message to make you live If you’re red, yellow, black, or white Everybody is a star in Jesus’ sight He loves you so, He came into this world To give his love for every boy and girl He loves you, he loves you Don’t you know that Jesus loves you? I took a look in the Bible book Just to see what I could see I saw that Jesus loves everyone From the Eskimo to the Pygmy There’s a special message in this song that we want everyone to know And that’s Jesus loves everyone, because the Bible tells me so
[Chorus 2] It says that I’m a winner, not a loser I am the head, and I’m not the tail If the prison door is open my friend, whatcha doing in jail? I’m a winner, not a loser I’m the head, and not the tail If the prison door is open, whatcha doing in jail? Everybody! Winner, not a loser Head, and not the tail If the prison door is open, whatcha doing in jail? Because Jesus paid your bail! Everybody say J-E-S-U-S Everybody say J-E-S-U-S
[Interlude] Psalm 150 says let’s praise the king of kings On the cymbals, trumpets, and the organs, the instruments with strings
[Verse 2] Signs follow what you preach if it’s the Word of God you teach Signs follow what you preach if it’s the Word of God that you teach The Bible is the Holy Book, so let’s open it up and take a look We’ve got Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers Deuteronomy, Joshua, Judges, Ruth First and Second Samuel, First and Second Kings, First and Second Chronicles Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther, Job, Psalm, Proverbs Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Isaiah, Jeremiah Lamentations, Ezekiel And then we’ve got Daniel, Hosea, Joel, Amos, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Zephaniah, Haggai, Zechariah, Malachi New Testament Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts, Romans, First and Second Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, First and Second Thessalonians First and Second Timothy, Titus, Philemon Hebrews, James, First and Second Peter, First and Second, Third John, Jude, to Revelation

“Sometimes by Step” by Rich Mullins
Sometimes the night was beautiful Sometimes the sky was so far away Sometimes it seemed to stoop so close You could touch it but your heart would break Sometimes the morning came too soon Sometimes the day could be so hot There was so much work left to do But so much You’d already done
Oh God, You are my God And I will ever praise You Oh God, You are my God And I will ever praise You And I will seek You in the morning And I will learn to walk in Your ways And step by step You’ll lead me And I will follow You all of my days
Sometimes I think of Abraham How one star he saw had been lit for me He was a stranger in this land And I am that, no less than he And on this road to righteousness Sometimes the climb can be so steep I may falter in my steps But never beyond Your reach
Oh God, You are my God And I will ever praise You Oh God, You are my God And I will ever praise You I will seek You in the morning And I will learn to walk in Your ways And step by step You’ll lead me And I will follow You all of my days
And I will follow You all of my days And I will follow You all of my days And step by step You’ll lead me And I will follow You all of my days And I will follow You all of my days (Sometimes the night was beautiful) And I will follow You all of my days (Sometimes the night . . .) (Sometimes the night was beautiful) And I will follow You all of my days (. . . Was beautiful) (Sometimes the night was beautiful) And I will follow You all of my days (So beautiful) And I will follow You all of my days And I will follow You all of my days (Oh God, you are my God) And I will follow You all of my days (Oh God, you are my God) And I will follow You all of my days And I will follow You all of my days (Sometimes the night was beautiful) And I will follow You all of my days (Sometimes the night . . .) And I will follow You all of my days

Mark 2: King James Version
2 And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house.
2 And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them.
3 And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four.
4 And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.
5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee.
6 But there was certain of the scribes sitting there, and reasoning in their hearts,
7 Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies? who can forgive sins but God only?
8 And immediately when Jesus perceived in his spirit that they so reasoned within themselves, he said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
9 Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?

Savior I come, quiet my soul Remember redemption’s hill Where Your blood was spilled For my ransom
Everything I once held dear I count it all as loss
Lead me to the cross where Your love poured out Bring me to my knees, Lord, I lay me down Rid me of myself, I belong to You Oh, lead me Lead me to the cross
You were as I, tempted and tried You are, the word became flesh Bore my sin and death Now You’re risen
Everything I once held dear I count it all as loss
Lead me to the cross where Your love poured out Bring me to my knees, Lord, I lay me down Rid me of myself, I belong to You Oh, lead me Lead me to the cross
To Your heart To Your heart Lead me to Your heart Lead me to Your heart
Lead me to the cross where Your love poured out Bring me to my knees, Lord, I lay me down Rid me of myself, I belong to You Oh, lead me Lead me
Lead me to the cross where Your love poured out Bring me to my knees, Lord, I lay me down Rid me of myself, I belong to You Oh, lead me Lead me to the cross

“Friends, there is no such thing as “Christian” rock. This is a lie of the devil. We are not to transform ourselves to the world, for the Bible says that as God’s people we “are at enmity with the world.” There is no “Christian” whiskey, no “Christian” pornography, no “Christian” adultery, and no “Christian” rock.” — Texe Marrs
