Magnificent

(Stanley Chris)

This song talks of the faithfulness, love and greatness of God. He is the only One worthy of our praise, "from dawn to setting sun." His love is "better than life, much purer than gold refined," and remains unchanging despite our failures. In times of trouble, no adversary or adversity we face can bar His hand from intervening to rescue us to His arms. Those are the ideas brought out in the three Verses. The Chorus brings Him high praise, speaking of His power, exalting His Name, and expressing the famous prayer of Jesus that His Kingdom come to earth, and His will be done in our hearts (Matthew 6:10). This is the timeless song that the nations ever roar. Throughout history, empires have risen and fallen, but our God remains on His seat of power; He cannot be dethroned! He is indeed magnificent! That is the climax on which the Bridge ends this deep revelation of Who God is.

VERSE 1:
O Lord You are
The only One
That all of my heart will strive
To praise and bless 
Throughout the day
From dawn to setting sun

VERSE 2:
Better than life
Is Your love to us 
Much purer than gold refined
It's void of pride
Not soiled with strife 
Much bigger than our crimes 

CHORUS:
Magnificent in power
Your Name be lifted high 
You reign as King forever 
Your Kingdom come to us
Your will be done in us
That's all that we desire 
To worship You our God

VERSE 3:
No foe can bar 
Your mighty hand
From entering into our fights 
To help and save
When tempter snares
And rescue to Your arms 

BRIDGE:
The nations ever roar 
This old but timeless song 
To speak of Who You are 

Their names all rise and fall
But Yours will never fold
It speaks of Who You are

Yahweh

By Stanley Chris

This is a song of praise to God, telling of His majesty as ruler of all creation. He does the impossible, calling dry bones to life, as in the case of Ezekiel described in the 37th Chapter of his book. It was a completely hopeless situation he saw in his vision of the valley of dry bones, but God, almighty in power, turned it around to show that not even death, the seemingly unconquerable giant to us, can stand in His way. In His unfailing love, backed by such awesome display of might, we find our solace. Those are the themes in the Verses. The Chorus is a confession of His sacred Name, which is representative of His ability and authority. This is echoed in the Bridge where He is described as "Lord of all" who "holds the control" in all circumstances and can thus be trusted to deliver on His promise even in the worst of odds.

Sure Victory

By Stanley Chris

This is a song of triumph, expressing faith in an all-powerful God Who is more than able to keep us safe in perilous times such as these in which we find ourselves. The Verses speak of His Word is a lamp and a light in darkest of times (Psalm 119:105), and a tower we can run to when the fight lands at our door. Because of such blessed assurance, we have a response of faith-proclamation in the Chorus, committing our lives unreservedly into His almighty hands, where He has inscribed our names, and where we are sheltered by His love. In His unfailing arms, His grace covers all our shame, and we have victory over the greatest of fears: death! This confidence in our God is followed up in the Bridge, which borrows heavily from Psalm 91, a famous passage that talks about God's protection for His people that is provided for in the covenant He has with us in Christ.

Excellent

By Stanley Chris

The song talks about the unfailing faithfulness of God. He keeps us safe in the valley of death (Psalm 23:4), and guides our way in the wilderness of life. He is the eternal God, and remains the same through every age; His faithfulness cannot change. Those are the ideas conveyed in the Verses. The Chorus is a confession of our faith in His character: mountains may fall, storms may roar, the sun may burn crazy, and the flames may come bursting in but, still, in the midst of it all, He remains God; He remains good. Because of the assurance of His presence with us in such difficult times, we cannot but cling to His love, and to the truth of His promises given to us in His Word. The Bridge magnifies His Name above all else, speaking of His exceedingly surpassing greatness, above that of anyone or anything else we may be tempted to put our trust in.

No Excuse

By Stanley Chris

The song tells the entire Gospel story in a nutshell. By submitting to the Father's will, as difficult as it was for Him, Jesus purchased remission of sins for the whole world on the Cross. As a result, in Christ, we have redemption (Ephesians 1:7). He also talked about the many mansions in His Father's house that He said He was going to make ready for those who receive the gift of salvation (John 14:1-3). Those are the main themes expressed in the two Verses. The end lines tell us the purpose for all this: so every nation and all creation can give high praise to God for His marvelous love towards us revealed in the vicarious sacrifice of Christ. The Chorus and Post-Chorus are a response showing our commitment to spread the news. This culminates in the Bridge which states that it's all for the glory of His Name, and that we are giving no excuses as we embark on this great commission.

Inside

By Steven Soucy

Inside is a mysterious song about our deeper selves. Our complex thoughts and actions which are not even always clear to ourselves.

Katahdin

By Howard Aronson

This is a lyric that's a true story, about me getting frostbite trying to climb Mount Katahdin. Mount Katahdin is the highest point in Maine, and one of the toughest climbs that I've ever done. I was trying to do this in winter obviously, and that is probably the toughest time to climb that mountain. First of all you have to hike in 13 miles pulling in a sled with all your gear, plus carrying your pack with other gear. That day it was so cold, with the wind chill it was probably 20 something below zero. Everything froze within an hour. The only thing that I had that didn't freeze was my trail mix. For some reason things went wrong, either I didn't drink and eat enough the day before, or I didn't eat enough in the morning before the hike. When I got to the cabin and took my mittens off, all my fingertips were blue. But there was a happy ending, because the park is covered by the rangers year round. So one of them came to check on us the next morning saw my fingertips and gave me a ride on his snowmobile back to my car. Basically because of that my fingers were saved. But it goes to show you, that even someone experienced like me, can have things go wrong really fast. You have to make good decisions up there, and I certainly didn't make one that day

Hamburg liegt nicht am Bosporus

By Georg Wagner (GeWa)

Der Regen bringt Emine zum Weinen, weil sie dann an ihre Heimat denken muss. In Istanbul wird die Sonne scheinen. Doch Hamburg liegt nun mal nicht am Bosporus.

Look Into The Mirror

By Karlo Čavlović

A song about how fame, money, and a successful career aren't always the best things that can happen to you. Sometimes these assets can lead to addiction and detachment from one's feelings and relationships.
