Woke up this morning and I saw a brand new day
Its been so dark of late I wondered if the sun had gone away
Darkness lifting from my heart and from my soul
Guess theres a reason for my thoughts to be hopeful
Theres a brand new day
A brand new way
We dont have to stay in our past
The chains are breaking
The air is fresh and new
Jesus died to give that freedom to you
Could it be the fears of the past will melt away
And a faith will grow that will blow it all away
All the things that were broken are in the Masters hand
Kick off your shoes and take off running in the sand
Theres a brand new day
A brand new way
We dont have to stay in our past
The chains are breaking
The air is fresh and new
Jesus died to give that freedom to you
Theres a brand new day
A brand new way
We dont have to stay in our past.

I have to watch you go
I see you walking away
It breaks my heart cause I cant reach you
I know its your choice to make
But I can love you
As my heart it breaks into
And I can love you
And hope you come back to the love you once knew
I see you walking away
And I wish I could seize the day
I know what youll go through
To find the man that I already knew
But I can love you
As my heart it breaks into
And I can love you
And hope you come back to the love you once knew
I can hope for the day
When your eyes are open you decide not to stray
A joy and a Light from Him
That will fill you up and give you peace within
But I can love you
As my heart it breaks into
And I can love you
And hope you come back to the love you once knew
By Jean Chamblee 2006
When your backs against the wall
And youre not feelin very tall
And the ways of change they are a blowin
What ya gonna do
Gotta be like water
Got to let that river flow
Gotta be like water
Turn it loose and let it go
Well this life is full of change
And nobody is really to blame
You gotta get up and get into the game
Cause this lifes a movin
At the speed of fallin rain
Gotta be like water
Got to let that river flow
Gotta be like water
Turn it loose and let it go
I promise you my friend
As we get closer to the end
Out of control this world will spin
You gotta put yourself into the Masters mighty hand
Gotta be like water
Got to let that river flow
Gotta be like water
Turn it loose and let it go
Jean Chamblee 2006
Dont mess, dont mess with Jehovah, Dont mess with Jehovah (chorus)
X2
What happened to the fear of God
What happened to the fright?
What happened to the holiness?
That used to be so right
Has Jehovah changed that much
Is He a different God?
Was He a chameleon?
Or a temporary facade
Where is right and wrong?
Got swallowed in the hole
Political correctness
Seems to be the worldly mold
Are we not the church of God?
Ambassadors for Christ
Made to represent our Lord
And live out loud His life
What has happened to us now?
My heart is torn in two
So called gospel being preached today
Is far from being true
Jesus the Messiah King
Bright and shining star
Worthy of our respect
How did we fall so far?
Bring us Lord all to our knees
In this our only hope
Repentance from our worthless deeds
Returning to the heart
Did we think that He wont see?
That we could hide our life
Did we think He is deceived?
Our Deity of Light
Jean Chamblee 2006
Blessed are You
Lord our God
King of the Universe
Who has kept us alive
Sustained us and brought us to this very hour
Help us all to walk in You and show forth your power
Baruch atah Adonai Elohaynu
Melech ha-olam A neh ohevet otcha
Blessed be the Lord our God
King of the earth
Who called us and set us apart
To do Your will
Glory and honor to You alone belong
We will rejoice in You
And worship at Your throne
Baruch atah Adonai Elohaynu
Melech ha-olam A neh ohevet otcha
Blessed are You, Lord our God
King of the Universe, I love you
Jew and Gentile together
In holy unity
A sign for all the nations
A time to set us free
Lift up your voice and sing
Its the year of Jubilee
The King of the earth is near
And the whole world shall see
Baruch atah Adonai Elohaynu
Melech ha-olam A neh ohevet otcha
Blesssed are you , Lord our God
King of the Universe I love You

Could it be
That youre lookin down on me
Could it be
You know my heart cant take all the bleeding
Could it be
Youre all you say you would be
Could it be
You sent Your mercy and its flooding to me
Cause Ive been waiting
Ive been waiting so long, so long, so long to see
Ive been waiting, Ive been waiting so long for my heart to be free
Could it be you have mercy now on me
Could it be
Youve brought me to the place that you needed me to be
I wanta know
I wanta know what Its like to feel your love in me
I wanta know, wanta know what it feels like to know Youre shining through me
Jean Chamblee 2006
I am waiting upon You
Wondering and wanting to know what to do
I dont want my own way
Been down that road before
I am watching and waiting
For You to open up the door
Open up the door
I am waiting upon You
Wondering and wanting to know what to do
I dont want my own way
Been down that road before
I am watching and waiting
For You to open up the door
Open up the door
Holy, Holy I belong to You Lord
Holy, Holy I belong to You Lord

He that keepeth Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps
He that keepeth Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps
Does not slumber He does not sleep
His eyes are open His people to keep Israel
Hine lo yanum ve lo yishan
Hine lo yanum be lo yishan
Lo yanum ve lo yishan
Lo yanum ve lo yishan Israel
He that keepeth Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps
He that keepeth Israel neither slumbers nor sleeps
Does not slumber He does not sleep
His eyes are open His people to keep Israel

Steady as she goes
Forward through the night
On the winds of the Holy Ghost
Heading towards the light
The enemies tried so hard
To stop the will of God
But shes waking up
And shaking off the nod
The church of the Lord Jesus Christ
Is growing in glory through the fight
Not by power and not by might
But the flood of the Spirit is in sight
Well shes been trampled down
By sin and all her faults
But by the Saviors hand
Weve not come to naught
He s calling to holiness
Calling us to right
Calling to give ourselves
Calling us to fight
The church of the Lord Jesus Christ
Is growing in glory through the fight
Not by power and not by might
But the flood of the Spirit is in sight
Will you do your part
In the kingdom of the Lord
Will you change your ways
And pick up that sword
For we are a body now
Born in His name
Catch the wind of the Spirit
Youll never be the same
The church of the Lord Jesus Christ
Is growing in glory through the fight
Not by power and not by might
But the flood of the Spirit is in sight
Jean Chamblee 2006
Come unto Me my children
And I will care for you
Lay your burdens down
And we will start anew
Theres a new horizon
Waiting for you
As you stand in my Word
And do what I would do
Glory and honor will I bestow upon you
My majesty and power
Will see you through
Yes, Ill see you through
For I am the Author
And developer of your faith
Did you think that I was finished
No just wait
Look into the future
With eyes widened more
Then you will see
What my diligence was for
Yes, yes let excitement come forth
Youll see my power
Like never before, like never before
For I am the Author
And developer of your faith
Did you think that I was finished
No just wait
Theres a new horizon
Waiting for you
As you stand in my Word
And do what I would do
Stand in my Word and do what I would do
