Altar Call – Keith Green

Altar Call 
Most people don't find out 
'til it's too late 
that someone has to pay the price. 

You can pay it yourself (Hah!) 
or let someone else, 
but who would be that nice ... 

... to pay a debt that isn't his? 
Well, I know someone like that, 
and He's your best friend, 
He really is; 
He really loves you. 

Most people don't find out 
'til they're half dead 
that they need another life. 

You say you've heard everything 
that's ever been said 
about the Way, the Truth, the Life. 
You say you've heard 
lots of preaching all before, 
so many times, 

But did you ever open up your door? 
Give Him a chance 
to prove Himself. 
Well, He's real, you know! 

I hope you find out 
before it's too late 
that there's really nobody else. 

You know it's breaking His heart 
the longer you wait 
'cause you've only been 
lying to yourself. 

'Cause no one believes a thing you say, 
not even you. 

You know 
you're gonna find out 
that He's the way, 
no matter which way you choose, 
but I pray you find out 
by His love for you. 

Some people won't find out 
'til it's too late.

Mourning Into Dancing

Morning Into Dancing
He's turned my mourning
Into dancing again
He's lifted my sorrows
I can't stay silent
I must sing
For His joy has come

Where there once
Was only hurt
He gave His healing hand
Where there once
Was only pain
He brought comfort
Like a friend
I feel the sweetness
Of His love
Piercing my darkness
I see the bright
And morning sun
As it ushers in
His joyful gladness

You've turned my mourning
Into dancing again
You've lifted my sorrows

And I can't stay silent
I must sing
For Your joy has come

Where there once
Was only hurt
You gave Your
Healing hand
Where the once
Was only pain
You brought comfort
Like a friend
I feel the sweetness
Of Your love
Piercing my darkness
I see the bright
And morning sun
As it ushers in
Your joyful gladness

Your anger lasts
For a moment in time
But Your favor is here
And will on me for
All my life time

Job 38

 1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said: 2 “Who is this who darkens counsel
      By words without knowledge?

 3 Now prepare yourself like a man;
      I will question you, and you shall answer Me.

 4 “ Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
      Tell 
Me, if you have understanding.
 5 Who determined its measurements?
      Surely you know!
      Or who stretched the line upon it?

 6 To what were its foundations fastened?
      Or who laid its cornerstone,

 7 When the morning stars sang together,
      And all the sons of God shouted for joy?

 8 “Or who shut in the sea with doors,
      When it burst forth 
and issued from the womb;
 9 When I made the clouds its garment,
      And thick darkness its swaddling band;

 10 When I fixed My limit for it,
      And set bars and doors;

 11 When I said,

      ‘This far you may come, but no farther,
      And here your proud waves must stop!’

 12 “Have you commanded the morning since your days began,
      
And caused the dawn to know its place,
 13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth,
      And the wicked be shaken out of it?

 14 It takes on form like clay under a seal,
      And stands out like a garment.

 15 From the wicked their light is withheld,
      And the upraised arm is broken.

 16 “Have you entered the springs of the sea?
      Or have you walked in search of the depths?

 17 Have the gates of death been revealed to you?
      Or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?

 18 Have you comprehended the breadth of the earth?
      Tell 
Me, if you know all this.
 19 “ Where is the way to the dwelling of light?
      And darkness, where 
is its place,
 20 That you may take it to its territory,
      That you may know the paths 
to its home?
 21 Do you know it, because you were born then,
      Or 
because the number of your days is great?
 22 “Have you entered the treasury of snow,
      Or have you seen the treasury of hail,

 23 Which I have reserved for the time of trouble,
      For the day of battle and war?

 24 By what way is light diffused,
      
Or the east wind scattered over the earth?
 25 “Who has divided a channel for the overflowing water,
      Or a path for the thunderbolt,

 26 To cause it to rain on a land where there is no one,
      A wilderness in which 
there is no man;
 27 To satisfy the desolate waste,
      And cause to spring forth the growth of tender grass?

 28 Has the rain a father?
      Or who has begotten the drops of dew?

 29 From whose womb comes the ice?
      And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth?

 30 The waters harden like stone,
      And the surface of the deep is frozen.

 31 “Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades,
      Or loose the belt of Orion?

 32 Can you bring out Mazzaroth[a] in its season?
      Or can you guide the Great Bear with its cubs?

 33 Do you know the ordinances of the heavens?
      Can you set their dominion over the earth?

 34 “Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,
      That an abundance of water may cover you?

 35 Can you send out lightnings, that they may go,
      And say to you, ‘Here we 
are!’?
 36 Who has put wisdom in the mind?[b]
      Or who has given understanding to the heart?

 37 Who can number the clouds by wisdom?
      Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven,

 38 When the dust hardens in clumps,
      And the clods cling together?

 39 “Can you hunt the prey for the lion,
      Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,

 40 When they crouch in their dens,
      
Or lurk in their lairs to lie in wait?
 41 Who provides food for the raven,
      When its young ones cry to God,
      And wander about for lack of food?







Isn't that incredible! ! !
REALLY made me think.
