Scott Krippayne Days of Hope Lyrics

I was working on a list of mission trip songs, and although I found a video with this song, I couldn't find the lyrics online anywhere. I was first given a recording of this song on a mission trip while serving at the Milwaukee Rescue Mission.

Days of Hope
by Scott Krippayne

Verse 1:
In the corner there's a man
Who's been brought down by the bottle
On the cot there lies a lady black and blue
There's a man who's served his country
Just staring out the window
Broken and alone

Chorus:
When we serve
Is when we love
When we give
Then there's enough
When we reach out with the hands of Christ
These are the days of hope

Verse 2:
A blanket for the cold
An arm around the shoulder
A shelter in the middle of the storm
A simple cup of soup
A kind word for a stranger
An open heart
An open door

Chorus

Bridge:
When our gifts join together
We bring a better day
So let us partner
Let us pray

Chorus (x2)

Newsboys Your Love Never Fails Lyrics

From Newsboys' newest CD God's Not Dead released November 15, 2012. They're previewing singles on their Facebook page if you preorder. Here's lyrics for the first single, titled Your Love Never Fails.

Your Love Never Fails
by Newsboys

Nothing can separate
Even if I run away
Your love never fails
I know I'll still make mistakes
You have new mercy for me every day
Cause Your love never fails
Oh no, no, no

You stay the same through the ages
Your love never changes
There may be pain in the night
But joy comes in the morning

When the storm and the water's deep
I'm not alone here in these open seas
Cause Your love never fails
The chasm is far too wide
I never thought I'd reach the other side
Your love ever fails
Oh no, oh no

Yeah, You stay the same through the ages
Your love never changes
There may be pain in the night
But joy comes in the morning
And when the oceans rage
I don't have to be afraid
Because I know that You love me
Your love never fails

You make all things
Work together for my good
(God, You never fail me)
You make all things
Work together for my good
(no You never fail me)

You stay the same through the ages
Your love never changes
There may be pain in the night
But joy comes in the morning
And when the oceans rage
I don't have to be afraid
Because I know that You love me
Your love never fails
Cause Your love never fails

The King Is Coming
by Newsboys

Make a way for
Make a way for
Make a way for the King
The King is coming

Empty hearts are filling up
Wicked ways are coming undone
Every eye is looking out for You
City lights are burning out
Freedom's song is ringing loud
Dead men waking up to the sound of You
And all our hearts can sing
All our hearts can sing is…

Make a way for
Make a way for
Make a way for the King
The King is coming
Make a way for
Make a way for
Make a way for the King
The King is coming

Split the sky with Your glory
Bring to life an awakening
Burn away everything that's not for You
Hear our voices crying out
We won't stop til the heavens come down
We won't stop til every knee bows to You
And all our hearts can sing is...

Make a way for
Make a way for
Make a way for the King
The King is coming
Make a way for
Make a way for
Make a way for the King
The King is coming

Open up the doors
Open up the doors
Open up the doors
Our King is coming
Open up the doors
Open up the doors
Lift your eyes to see
Our King is coming

Make a way for
Make a way for
Make a way for the King
Our King is coming
Make a way for
Make a way for
Make a way for the King
Our King is coming
Our King is coming
Our King is coming

Peter Furler - "I'm Alive" Lyrics

New single available off of former Newsboys' lead singer Peter Furler's upcoming solo release, On Fire. I don't see the lyrics online yet, so here they are. Enjoy! Comment with any corrections...

I'm Alive
from On Fire
by Peter Furler

When I was locked inside my head
When I was lost in a maze of doubt
You called my name and woke me up
You called my name and let me out

And when I chased one more mirage
'til I was tired and parched again
You gave me one more cup to fill
And sent me one more desert rain

I'm alive
I'm on fire
And my spirit burns with desire
You set me alive
But I am with nowhere to hold it inside

I wanted to thank you
thank you, thank you

I was sure of all I knew
I knew the world was mine to claim
I had directions printed out
And then I hit a world of shame
Out there alone and left to die
Caught out from You, my sole supply
You shed your tears for me and then
You took my hand and raised me high

I'm alive
I'm on fire
And my spirit burns with desire
You set me alive
But I am with nowhere to hold it inside

I wanted to thank you
thank you, thank you

Newsboys Save Your Life Lyrics

Brand new free download single from Newsboys called "Save Your Life." The lyrics I found online weren't quite right, so hopefully these are closer. Here's the lyrics...enjoy! Please comment with any corrections...

Save Your Life
by Newsboys

Dear friend, you been trying again
Doing whatever it takes to fit in
Falling, for the lies of the world
You tell me you’d pay anything just to not hurt
What you want, I ain’t got
What I have, can’t be bought

There’s something better I can give
If you surrender you will live
Just gotta taste and, see it’s good
I’d make you see it if I could
It's gonna save your life
It's gonna save your life

Dear friend, I’d be lying to you
If I told you this road that we travel would be smooth
Sometimes, you just wanna give up
Trying and trying, but nothing is ever enough
Chasing things, but what for, (what for?) you’ve seen it all but want more

There’s something better I can give
If you surrender you will live
Just gotta taste and, see it’s good
I’d make you see it if I could
Gonna save your life
Gonna save your life

I can see now you want this
And you know that you need this
Get away from the darkness
Get away from the darkness
I can see now you want this
And you know that you need this
Get away from the darkness
Gotta know who Christ is

There’s something better I can give
If you surrender you will live
Just gotta taste and, see it’s good
I’d make you see it if I could

It’s gonna save your life
(It doesn’t matter with this life)
It’s gonna save your life
(There's nothing better in this life, oh)
It’s gonna save your life
(There's nothing better in this life)
It’s gonna save your life
(It doesn’t matter with this life)
It’s gonna, it’s gonna save your life
