Orange Colored Sky

Orange Colored Sky
Words & Music by Willie Stein & Milton DeLugg (45-1221-55)
Recorded by Nat King Cole, 1945

I was walking along, minding my business,
When out of an orange-colored sky,
Flash! Bam! Alakazam! Wonderful you came by.

I was humming a tune, drinking in sunshine,
When out of that orange-colored view,
Wham! Bam! Alakazam! I got a look at you.

Bridge;
One look and I yelled “Timber! Watch out for flying glass!”
‘Cause the ceiling fell in and the bottom fell out,
I went into a spin, and I started to shout,
“I’ve been hit, this is it, this is it!”

I was walking along, minding my business,
When love came and hit me in the eye
Flash! Bam! Alakazam! out of an orange-colored sky.

The Shofar

The Shofar
Gabriel Butler

Verse 1:
God called the people to Mt. Sinai
With a blast on the shofar.
He wrote the law with His finger,
His children to inspire.

He said, Make two silver trumpets!
And learn to play them with skill.
So I can call My people in
Or send them forth at will.

Chorus:
Prophesy on the trumpet!
Let the truth ring from it’s bell!
Blast the word out from Zion
And My law from Israel.

Call out My army with the shofar!
To defend the sons of men.
Shake My enemies with a fanfare.
Send them out with a trumpet Amen!

Verse 2:
Joshua chose seven priests with trumpets
To do some renovation on Jericho.
The people all shouted at the shofar blast
And the walls just had to go.

Gideon faced many thousands
With only three-hundred men.
Each blew his trumpet and broke his jug
And the enemey ran and ran.
(Repeat Chorus)

Verse 3:
When King David brought the ark up to Jerusalem
He sent trumpets to prepare the way.
When Solomon built the temple he asked
One hundred and twenty to play.

In the end times we can be prepared
To hear a heavenly blast.
When Messiah calls His people home
That trumpet will be the last.
(Repeat Chorus)

Rain Down

Rain Down
Delirious?

Looks like tonight, the sky is heavy,
Feels like the winds are gonna change
Beneath my feet, the earth is ready
I know it’s time for heaven’s rain. It’s gonna rain.

Cos it’s Living Water we desire
To flood our hearts with holy fire

Rain down, all around the world we’re singing
Rain down, can you hear the earth is singing?
Rain down, my heart is dry but I’m still singing
Rain down, rain it down on me

Back to the start, my heart is heavy
Feels like it’s time to dream again
I see the clouds, and yes I’m ready
To dance upon this barren land,
Hope in my hands.

Do not shut, Do not shut, Do not shut the heavens
But open up, open up, open up our hearts

Give me strength to cross the water,
Keep my heart upon Your altar
Give me strength to cross this water
Keep my feet don’t let me falter.

THE BATTLE BELONGS TO THE LORD

The Battle Belongs to the Lord
Words and music by Jamie Owens-Collins

In heavenly armour we’ll enter the land
The battle belongs to the Lord
No weapon that’s fashioned against us shall stand
The battle belongs to the Lord

We sing glory and honor
Power and strength to the Lord
(repeat)

When the power of darkness comes in like a flood
The battle belongs to the Lord
He’s raised up a standard, the power of His blood
The battle belongs to the Lord

When your enemy presses in hard do not fear
The battle belongs to the Lord
Take courage my friend, your redemption is near
The battle belongs to the Lord

You Never Let Go

You Never Let Go
Matt Redman

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear
And even when I’m caught in the middle of the storms of this life
I won’t turn back
I know You are near

And I will fear no evil
For my God is with me
And if my God is with me
Whom then shall I fear?
Whom then shall I fear?

Chorus:
Oh no, You never let go
Through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go
In every high and every low
Oh no, You never let go
Lord, You never let go of me

And I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
We’ll live to know You here on the earth

Chorus:
Yes, I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise You

Chorus: (2x’s)

Save the Best for Last

Save the Best for Last
Vanessa Williams

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes round the moon
I see the passion in your eyes
Sometimes it’s all a big surprise

Cause there was a time when all I did was wish
You’d tell me this was love
It’s not the way I hoped or how I planned
But somehow it’s enough

But now we’re standing face to face
Isn’t this world a crazy place
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

All of the nights you came to me
When some silly girl had set you free
I wondered how you’d make it through
I wondered what was wrong with you

Cause how could you give your love to someone else
And share your dreams with me
Sometimes the very thing you’re looking for
Is the one thing you can’t see

Sometimes the snow comes down in June
Sometimes the sun goes round the moon
Just when I thought our chance had passed
You go and save the best for last

My God Reigns

My God Reigns
Darrel Evans

There’s nowhere else that I’d rather be
Than dancing with You as You sing over me
There’s nothing else that I’d rather do
Lord than to worship You

So rejoice, be glad, rejoice oh my soul
For the Lord, you God, He reigns forever more
I rejoice, for my God reigns

So rejoice, be glad, your Father and your Friend
Is the Lord, your God, whose rule will never end
I rejoice, for my God reigns

My God reigns, and I dance the dance of praise
My God reigns, with a shout I will proclaim
My God reigns, I will worship without shame
My God reigns, and I will rejoice, for my God reigns
