NEAL MORSE LYRICS

1. Preface

[Narrator:]
God can change the world with just one willing soul
Who will stand up for the truth and give Him starring role
And long before Luther wrote his words upon the door
There was a man who forged the way before
There was a man who forged the way before

2. Overture

[Instrumental]

3. In The Name Of The Lord

[Saul:]
Mine eyes have seen the glory
The glory of our great God
And I belong to Him

Now I must wipe away
Everything that smells of
Anything that hints of
Jesus!

I'm looking through the windows
I'm creepin' 'round your back door
Just to find the fire
Of who is following the liar

He is dead and long gone
But hi cult gets bigger and I don't know why
Why can't he just die?

I have come in the name of the Lord
So you better toe the line
(You better toe the line)
I have come in the name of the Lord
You can run but you can't hide
(You can run but you can't hide)
You'll never turn the tide as long as I'm alive

Look at how the light shines
Look at how the dog whines
When you whack its tail
They should all be thrown in jail!

Hey, hey, hey!
I know that his disciples say that He's alive
But this scum will never ever rise so...

I have come in the name of the Lord
So you better toe the line
(You better toe the line)
I have come in the name of the Lord
You can run but you can't hide
(You can run but you can't hide)

I have come in the name of the Lord
I have come in the name of the Lord
I have come in the name of the Lord
And I'm coming for you...

In the name of God you must die
In the name of God you must die

4. Ballyhoo (The Chosen Ones)

[Saul and the Pharisees:]
We are the fortunate people, the apple of Jehovah's eye
We are the sons and the daughters of the Most High

Many they don't have the knowledge
They don't have a critical eye
Let it go on and just see how it goes
These people are nothing but what if it grows?
Someone must fight and God knows it is me!

'Cause we are the chosen ones, we come with hellfire in megatons
Yeah, we are the chosen few and I will erase all this ballyhoo

Secular people are nothing, I won't even darken their door
But Jesus' people are worse, they've been taught the law

They should have know very much better
So with them I'll mop up the floor
And yes, I know what our Gamaliel said
We must stop this treason before we're all dead
If we don't, brothers, I dread where we'll be!

'Cause we are the chosen ones, we come with hellfire in megatons
Yeah, we are the chosen few and I will erase all this ballyhoo

Ballyhoo, nothing new, just ballyhoo...

5. March Of The Pharisees

[Instrumental]

6. Building A Wall

[Pharisee 1:]
This man never ceases to speak
Against the ways of Moses and God
We have heard him say Jesus put end to the
Holy Place and the law

[Crowd:]
Hey, hey, whoa
Yeah, yeah
Hey, hey, whoa
Yeah, yeah

[Pharisee 2:]
Do they speak the truth?
Have you really said crazy things that the say?
How you can believe in that man who is dead
And follow what they're calling The Way

[Crowd:]
Hey, hey, whoa
Yeah, yeah
Hey, hey, whoa
Yeah, yeah

We want separation here
We're building a wall
('Cause it's cut and dried, don't let nothin' slide)
We want separation here
We're building a wide, high wall
We're building a wall!

[Stephen:]
You are like vipers
You always kill the prophets sent to your land
Don't you know the Holy One does not live
In house made with your hands?

[Crowd:]
Hey, hey, whoa
Yeah, yeah
Hey, hey, whoa
Yeah, yeah

We want separation here
We're building a wall
('Cause it's cut and dried, don't let nothin' slide)
We want separation here
We're building a wide, high wall
We're building a wall!

[Stephen:]
This is all I ask for
This is all I've wanted to do
Yeah, this is all I ask for
To live a life that's pleasing to You

[Crowd:]
We want separation here
We're building a wall
('Cause it's cut and dried, don't let nothin' slide)
We want separation here
We're building a wall
(To keep you outside, better run and hide)
We want separation here
We're building a wall
('Cause it's cut and dried, don't let nothin' slide)
We want separation here
We're building a nice, high wall
We're building a wall!

We're building a wall
We want separation here
We're building a wall

We're building a wall
We want separation here
Yeah, we're building a wall

We're building a wall
We want separation here
Yeah, we're building, building, building.
Building a wall, yeah

7. Sola Intermezzo

[Instrumental]

8. Overflow

[Stephen:]
Words from the heart that cannot be known
Love from the place your soul has always known
There in the portal of light you are
Wrapped in the radiance of the morning star

There isn't one thing I know
Breathless inside the overflow
How can it be?
I don't know
Breathless inside the overflow
How can it be I'm right here
And feel such a different atmosphere?
And how can it be?
I don't know
Breathless inside the overflow
Breathless inside the overflow

Lost in the river love has ordained
Floodlight flicker on the wind without a name
Clothed in the mind that always sustains
Time beyond time in a time that will remain

There isn't one thing I know
Breathless inside the overflow
How can it be?
I don't know
Breathless inside the overflow

How can it be I'm right here
And feel such a different atmosphere?
And how can it be?
I don't know
Breathless inside the overflow
Breathless inside the overflow

There isn't one thing I know
Breathless inside the overflow
How can it be?
I don't know
Just let it overflow

There isn't one thing I know
Breathless inside the overflow
How can it be?
I don't know
Breathless inside the overflow

9. Warmer Than The Sunshine

[Stephen:]
Blue as eternal flame
A hand through a windowpane
That fills me warmer than the sunshine

I see the Father stand
And Jesus at His right hand
With heaven open as a skyline

10. Never Change

[Saul:]
Love falls on fallow ground
Damascus Road I'm walking down
Hard hands are pushing down the lever

I hold my head up high
From my perch up in the sky
I never stop to wonder why
No, never

And I won't ever change my mind
My life will be the same
No, I will never change
I'll never change

And I will prove that I was right
And never be ashamed
No, I will never change
I'll never change

Colors in centigrade
Black as your nightshade
I live inside a heart that's made of leather
`Cause I don't need anyone
God and me got it goin' on
I'll ride off in the setting sun forever

And I won't ever change my mind
My life will be the same
No, I will never change
I'll never change

And I will prove that I was right
And never be ashamed
No, I will never change
I'll never change

And I know where I'm standing
And I won't let ya
Stand in my way
Hey, hey

Yeah, I won't ever change my mind
My life will be the same
No, I will never change
I'll never change

And you will know that I was right
As the blood pours through my veins
No, I will never change
I'll never change

11. Seemingly Sincere

[Saul:]
I saw Stephen walking man alive
Among the dead
His eyes were like blue sky
But we found out his blood was just as red

And everyone knew me
And their eyes were filled with fear
No one sees what I see
Only the seemingly sincere

Walking barefoot
He told us how we killed the ones before
He spoke out against us
Said he knew the one we're waiting for

And as he lay dying, I did not shed a tear
Hi eyes flashed like lightning
He was seemingly sincere

And I -
I don't understand it
How they cannot see what is so clear
'Cause I -
I caught him red-handed
But something that he said's still in my ears
I might believe a lie and yet appear
Seemingly sincere

They stoned young Stephen
Yes, they kept the holy word
How can those who are unclean
Live among the pure?

And my conscience struck me
As it spoke from deep inside
So I kicked back against it
And I held my head up high

'Cause I -
I don't understand it
How they cannot see what is so clear
Yes I -
I caught him red-handed
But something that he said's still in my ears
I might believe a lie and yet appear
Seemingly sincere

I don't understand
How they cannot see what is so clear
Yeah I -
I've got to demand it
Bus as he faced his death he had no fear
And somehow it's still ringing in my ears
People can be dead wrong
And yet appear
Seemingly sincere

12. The Light On The Road To Damascus

[Saul:]
Mine eyes have seen the glory
The glory of our great God
And I belong to Him
Now, I'm goin' way down south
Yeah, I'm goin' way down south
To wipe them out
Once and for all
Once and for all...

[Note: The music here depicts the conversion of Saul; the moment when the light from heaven engulfs him and he hears Jesus speak for the first time.]

13. The Glory Of The Lord

[Paul:]
In the essence of Adonai
On the ground looking at the sky
We are talking but speech is gone
Apprehended by what has come
With the glory of the Lord
Shinin' around me
Setting my eyes to the open door
In the glory of the Lord
There is no separation
And all of creation is waiting for
The day

From the rising of every sun
We will sing "Let Your kingdom come"
From the light then He spoke to me
"I am Jesus come unto me!"

With the glory of the Lord
Shinin' around me
Setting my eyes to the open door

In the glory of the Lord
There is no separation
And all of creation is looking toward
The way

With the glory of the Lord
Shinin' around me
Setting my eyes to the open door

With the glory of the Lord
Over every nation
And all of creation is looking for

With the glory of the Lord
Shinin' around me
Setting my eyes to the open door

With the glory of the Lord
Over every nation
And all of creation is looking for the way

14. Now I Can See: The Great Commission

[Paul joined by other Christians:]
Now I can see
That it's all about His love
Everlasting, overflowing
Now I can see
He will always be enough
And we're knowing now

With the glory of the Lord
Shining around me
Setting my eyes to the open door
With the glory of the Lord
Over every nation
And all of creation is looking for

'Cause there's something burning inside me
There's something deep within my heart
'Cause if I die with Him
I'll surely rise again
With heaven in my heart
I've got heaven in my heart

She's clothed with the sun
My beloved is only one
And her glory has just begun
Can you see with your eyes?

Yes, we're knowing, yes we are
Yes, we're knowing, yes we are
Yes, we're knowing, yes we are!

[Jesus:]
Arise!
Go into all the world
I will be with you
I will be with you

Go now!
And reach to every heart
For I will be with you
Even when they hurt you
I will be there...
