Welcome to the War: White Light, White Heat - Comes Forth From His Judgement Seat

White Light
Words and music by Kerry Livgren



I could wish we were all in some other universe
We could wish for all to be the same
As the years gone past
Knowing now it could never really last

In a moment everything has turned around
One morning and everything was changed
Am I dreaming now
I'd wake if I knew how
The season long foretold is near complete

White light, white heat
We're sifted like harvest wheat
White heat, white light
From out of the cleansing fire we receive our sight
 
There's the face of hatred sneering back at us
Hear the clamor hastening for war
The pain is nothing new
But now it has come home for me and you

White light, white heat
Comes forth from the judgement seat
White heat, white light
From out of the cleansing fire we proceed with might

From a crescent moon
The sign is in the sky
Distant voices cry for blood to flow
Cold fear is in the street
The season long foretold is near complete

White light, white heat
We're sifted like harvest wheat
White heat, white light
From out of the cleansing fire we receive our sight

Oh it's white light, white heat
From out of the cleansing fire we proceed with might

Welcome to the War: All the King's Horses


All the King's Horses  by Petra
Words and Music by Bob Hartman

Revelations 19:11-21



It's an age old score that's got to be settled
It's an age old debt that's got to be paid
When the King breaks through in all of His glory
To claim His throne and the world that He made

The nations wait with their armies gathered
With Jerusalem firmly under their thumbs
There will be no peace in Armageddon valley
'Til the trumpet sounds and the cavalry comes.
When He arrives He will conquer them all
Take back the ground given after the fall

[Chorus]
All the King's horses and all the King's men
Gonna ride down from heaven from where they've been
All the King's horses and all the King's men
Gonna put this world back together again
Gonna put this world back together
On a big white horse the King will come riding
He's the One they call Faithful and True
With His eyes of fire and blood dipped clothing
He had a name nobody else knew

And by his side ride the armies of heaven
Dressed in linen clean and white as the snow
Riding down to earth with a vengeance so holy
For a one-day battle that will trample their foe
And when the dust and the smoke disappears
The King will reign for a thousand years
[Chorus]
All the King's horses and all the King's men
Gonna ride down from heaven from where they've been
All the King's horses and all the King's men
Gonna put this world back together again
Gonna put this world back together

When the lion lays down with the lamb
There'll be peace in the land of Abraham
They will beat their swords into plows
When every tongue declares and every knee bows

Welcome to the War : There Is No Neutral Ground

Welcome to the War 
Words and music by Kerry Livgren

(Eph 6:12 ESV)  For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.




The word you call a weapon
Is the sword that will divide
And the war goes on within your heart
'Til you finally take a side
And put to death your pride

You speak of fear and judgement
Do you fear the one who knows?
Your freedom's restoration
Is the purpose you oppose

And the consequence of action
Is a law that all men face
The Rising Son has bought the
human race

Welcome to the war
From beginning to end
Welcome to the last world war
Welcome to the war
Truth will not bend
Tell me who you're fighting for

Your dreams and all your visions
Won't feed a hungry child
And all the vain philosophies
Have left your mind defiled
You declare as myth and legend
What stands before your eyes
The faith is sure, but you prefer the lies

  Welcome to the war
There is no neutral ground
Welcome to the last world war
Welcome to the war
No escape can be found
Tell me who you're fighting for

And when you're truly broken, it all becomes so clear
This place that we were born in, all the hatred and the fear
Was not the world intended, nor ever meant to be
So twisted and distorted, it's reaching out and crying to be free

The power and the glory will not be put to shame
The world in which we're meant to live
Has been revealed, and conquered in His name

To those who hold the future as a time when all is well
The Truth is in the knowing of a heaven or a hell
For the aliens and strangers it's a time we must endure
For the light grows dim, the victory is sure


Welcome to the war
There is no neutrality
Welcome to the last world war
Welcome to the war
It's the one reality
Tell me who you're fighting for

My Love Unending My Truth Unbending I Want You to Wear My Name - PFR

My Love Unending My Truth Unbending I Want You to Wear My Name - PFR




Lyrics:
I try too hard
Persuasion never wins
So let me start again

And here it is
As plain as day
These words not mine but His
And this is what they say

Chorus:
My hands they made you
My breath I gave you
My son he saves you
If you want to, you can wear My name
My love unending
My truth unbending
I want you to wear My name

I'm just like you
Our sin, a cross, His son
As your friends we come

So here we are
Another verse, a different view
God as a Father
Us, His pursuit

(chorus)

My love unending
My truth unbending
I want you to wear My name



One thing's for certain
I want you to wear my name
Wear my name...
