Believe Like A Child

Words: Jackson Baugh
Music: Jackson Baugh, Simon Frost, Kevin Casteel
c 2005

When I had no faith, I had no hope at all
Then You graced me with Your love
And my life turned around
You took me in, changed my sinful mind
You pulled me from the living dead
And gave me true life

Now I have faith, now I have hope
Now I have love, oh Lord, give me plenty of love
Now I have peace deep in my heart
I pray oh Lord, may Your love shine through me

When I was a child I spoke like a child,
I thought like a child and I dreamed like a child
But when I became a man
I put away those childish things
Now I believe like a child

I receive from You, my Lord
Everything that's holy
I worship You, my Lord,
The true God, One and Only
Teach me, break me down to the ground
And build me up to preach Your Word
In every city and every town

When I was a child I spoke like a child,
I thought like a child and I dreamed like a child
But when I became a man
I put away those childish things
Now I believe like a child

He said, "Let the children come to me"

Big Guy

(in memory of our friend and brother Chester Price)

Words and Music: Jackson Baugh and Kevin Casteel
c 2005

I will always remember
The night he first came along
We were searching for someone
A voice to sing our song
The room was dark and empty
As his voice began to rise
In the magic of that moment
I saw tears in every eye

He was a big guy with a song in his soul
And a twinkle in his eye
A big guy with a heart of gold
And a voice that could make you cry

The time we spent together
It ended all too soon
Though memories last forever
The hurt still feels so new
A man who loved his children
A man who loved his wife
A man in love with Jesus Christ
Who gave Him back his life

Oh, it's so hard to let go
And believe that you're gone
Still I know that we'll see you again
I can still hear your song

The big guy with a bigger heart
Was humble 'cause he knew
The little things that you do in life
They make a difference too
You never knew a stranger
You were everyone's best friend
Friendships that grow fonder
Are never supposed to end

I will always remember
The night he first came along

Confession

Words: Kevin Casteel, Scarlett Moore & Carl Behrendt
Music: Kevin Casteel
c 2007

I come to you my brother
With sorrow in my heart
There's so much I want to tell you
And I don't know where to start
I see the pain that's in your eyes
It cuts me like a knife
I see how much I've hurt you
And I want to make it right

I come to you my sister
Laying down my foolish pride
I'm haunted by these feelings
That I carry deep inside
I feel your sorrow, caused by me
My heart sinks in my chest
The love for you I've hidden there
Should have been my very best

Hear my confession, I've been wrong
Can you forgive me for the things I've done
We've been apart for far too long
Can you forgive me, I've been wrong

We come to you our Father
So burdened by our sin
We need cleansing and forgiveness
We need healing deep within
Breaking the mold's so hard to do
We need Your power to live in truth
Help us live and love like You
The way You taught us to

They say confession is good for the soul
God will forgive us all
Let's open the door, open our heart
We need a brand new start

Deliver Me
(from Psalm 69)

Words: Scarlett Moore
Music: Scarlett Moore & Kevin Casteel
c 2005

Now I am in trouble
Draw near to my soul
My grief overwhelms me
And You're all I know

I have come to deep waters
My shame overflows
I'm weary with crying
And You're all I know

But as for me, my prayer is You
But as for me, my prayer is You

Now I am in trouble
I cry out in my sleep
In dreams my voice fails me
And You're all I seek

I have come to dark spirits
Is there no reprieve?
But light overtakes me
And You're all I seek

But as for me, my prayer is You,
But as for me, my prayer is You
Deliver me... deliver me

Grace, Mercy and Love

Words: Jackson Baugh
Music: Jackson Baugh, Simon Frost, Kevin Casteel
c 2005

I asked you, "Are you saved?"
You say, "Lord, I hope so."
Let me tell you just one thing
If you don't know, the answer is "no"
Let me take you by the hand
I'll show you the way
Follow me to the Promised Land
Receive that gift today
There's nothing you can do alone
To point you to the Savior's throne

Not by works, saved by faith
Grace, mercy and love

I asked you, "Are you saved?"
You say, "Yes I am."
Then I asked you are you ashamed
To confess Him before man?
Will you serve Him at any cost
Dedicate your life today
Or will He become a vision lost
Turn your back and walk away
So will you put away your pride
And ask Him now to live inside?

Not by works, saved by faith
Grace, mercy and love

Saved by His grace through His mercy and love

Holy of Holies

Words: Jackson Baugh
Music: Jackson Baugh, Joe Palmer, Scarlett Moore, Kevin Casteel
c 2006

Empty, I feel empty inside
Exposed to the world, no place to hide
They're hurting me, my spirit feels robbed
My heart bleeds, I just want it to stop
They say "you're not good enough"
But God uses me anyway
Now their eyes have a far away look
Their mouths have nothing to say

Sometimes we need to be broken by God
Instead, Your people have torn me down, Lord
All I ask are blessings, so I can serve
Share my heart, give my life, spread your Word

I want to live in the Holy of Holies
I want to live with You by my side
I want to live in the Holy of Holies
Face to face with the maker of life

Take me Lord, into your throne room
Take Your place, Lord, up on that seat
I behold you there
At the Right Hand Of God,
I worship You, I worship You
I fall at Your feet

Little Things

Words: Jackson Baugh
Music: Jackson Baugh, Simon Frost, Kevin Casteel
c 2005

You know, Lord, sometimes in life
We expect you to make the blind to see
To make the lame to walk again
To make the deaf hear
And we forget to depend on you, day in, day out
For all of our needs, all our desires
All of our hopes and dreams

It's the little things, the little things You do
That draw me closer to you
It's the little things
The little things You do, Jesus

There have been times in my life
When I fell down on my knees
And you worked a miracle in my life
Yes, You delivered me
Even though I know, You gave your own life
Then rose from the grave
But all those times I was strong
Thought I was alone
You were there and I'm always amazed

The gentle way You touched my life
Quench the fire, remove my strife
I expect the unexpected things You do
I take my burdens upon myself
And all my faith is left on the shelf
You reach out, I feel You there
I realize that You still care

Mission Field

Words and Music: Jackson Baugh and Kevin Casteel
c 2005

One house of many colors built of living stones
Every tongue and tribe and nation
Bow before His throne
People of many colors
What will the vineyard yield?
Every kindred, every nation
In the mission field

Can we reach the world?
Voices of the people, send me with love
Oh Lord, I feel them hurting
Do I love them enough?

Go forth to all the nations
All around this earth
This is the life of My child
What is His life worth?

Some are called to distant places
Some outside their door
Go now and reap the harvest
The souls that He died for

Nothing Weak

Words: Kevin Casteel, Scarlett Moore, Jackson Baugh
Music: Kevin Casteel
c 2006

Your love washes over me
And it brings me to my knees
I remember Your sacrifice
On the cross of Calvary
The crown of thorns You bore
Nails in Your hands and feet
What kind of love, my God,
Would pay this price for me?

So pure, shining brighter than a million stars
So strong, Your hands will always bear the scars
Your promises are written in Your blood
There's nothing weak about Your love

You were despised, rejected
A Man of suffering
You carried our sorrows
Brought us peace instead of pain
Pierced for our offenses
Shattered for our evil deeds
You died in our place
And by Your stripes we are healed

There's nothing weak about falling on your knees
There's nothing weak about the garden of Gethsemane
There's nothing weak about surrender to the cross
There's nothing weak about Your love

One Cross

Words: Jackson Baugh
Music: Jackson Baugh and Kevin Casteel
c 2005

You say it's not logical
That God could live in the flesh
Born of a virgin, died on a cross
Rose from the grave to live again
But you believe that man came from ape
Where's the logic in that?
You believe everything came from
A little dust and a great big bang?

So you say you want to learn
About the ways of my Lord
You're educated to the point
That you can't believe His Word
Every one of your theories and methods
Never show the way how
You trust science and history
Come on, do the math now

One cross, three nails, forgiven
Are you forgiven now?
One cross, three nails, forgiven
It's simple, I'll show you how
One cross, three nails, forgiven

Well tell me now are you really sure
That there's no Heaven or Hell
No afterlife no Living Father
Not as far as you can tell
Laugh at me behind my back
You better listen to what I've said
Please consider to change your heart
'Cause someday you're gonna wake up dead

So many people trained as a child
Learning in school that God is a lie
Lord forgive us for letting it be this way
And forgive us for silence
When you've given us something to say

We See the Day

(dedicated to the vision of a new day for the city of Detroit... Jesus prayed that His followers would be one)

Words and Music: Jackson Baugh and Kevin Casteel
c 2006

So many years
We've broken the heart of our Father
So many times divisions have torn us apart
Believing a lie, living in fear of each other
When our skin matters more
Than what's in our hearts

City of shame, haunted by memories
Violence and hate like a scourge on our land
The world shakes its head at what we've become
Will the people of Christ
Hide their heads in the sand?

But we see the day
When this city will shine like the Son
And we see the day
When the power of the Spirit will fall
We see the day
When the walls that divide us are broken
We humble our hearts and we pray
We see the day

We'll never see with scales on our eyes
We will not win living with fear and pride
At a glance we look different, but realize
That we all share the same spirit inside

But we see the day
When this city will shine like the Son
And we see the day
When the power of the Spirit will fall
We see the day
When the walls that divide us are broken
We humble our hearts and we pray
We see the day

Can we look through eyes that are color blind?
Will we ever leave our wicked past behind?
We can see the day
When we can bridge the gap
Must we fall again before we change all that?

African, Asian, Latino and Anglo
Living in peace in the love of the Father

Praise the Lord

Words and Music: Jackson Baugh, Scarlett Moore, and Kevin Casteel
c 2006

People may reject you
Scared by what they've heard
Remember, it's not really you
They're rejecting The Lord
They might be offended
They might get annoyed
But God's holy word
It never comes back void

When you least expect a miracle
A loved one comes around
Cleansed by forgiveness
Angels make a joyful sound
You may never know it
"Was it something that I said?"
One dark moment
You placed a glimpse of God in their head

People all around you
See the way you live
Go ahead and speak the word
It's what you have to give
God will not reject you
He's the force you need
He will reap the Harvest
Are YOU planting the seeds?

Look into their faces
Look into their eyes
Feel their desperation
Listen to their cries
Reconciliation is the message that we bring
Let them know that they are heirs with the King

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Changes are made, people get saved,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Hearts are changed when people get saved
Praise the Lord

Reach

Words and Music: Jackson Baugh
c 2007

Reach for the air, reach for the sky
Reach for the heavens
Reach for the air, reach for the sky
Feel His presence

Reach for me, as I reach for You
Comfort me my Lord, as I pray
Hear our hearts, Holy Spirit
Enter here my Lord
You are welcome in this place

Cover me, with mercy
Overflow my heart, with praise
Bless me now my Lord, as I worship you
Reveal yourself Oh Lord
As I seek your Holy Face

Red Dawn Rising

Words and Music: Jackson Baugh and Kevin Casteel
c 2006

Underground church, a silent voice
They risk it all and still make the choice
To turn their backs on
Many customs, many ways
Rip the curtain, hear their prayer
Theres a new song rising in the air
Chains are breaking like the breaking of new day

Pray for dawning of a glorious day
When all oppression will pass away
Death and dying then will be no more
The day is coming, yes it's coming soon
They are ready, tell me now, are you?
This new dawn is almost at the door

Red dawn rising
Lift the people up
The believers are in hiding
The Word is hidden in their hearts
Red dawn rising
Let the Son shine down
See the rising
The rising of The Son

Search your heart, do you hide your faith
While saints are overseas
Wanting to break out of bondage
And longing to be free

River Jordan

Words: Jackson Baugh
Music: Jackson Baugh and Kevin Casteel
c 2005

Sometimes we're torn about what to do
There are times when your dreams
Aren't what God has planned for you
We all face pressure and we must decide
To do our own will or let God control our lives

A spiritual place where you must stand
On the banks of a river in a foreign land
But just like in scripture it will change your life
When you cross that river
Nevermore will your heart hide

Cross, cross the river, the River Jordan
Cross, cross the river, in your life
Cross the River Jordan
You have to cross that river in your life

Man in the mirror looks hard at you
Look at him forever it will never change you
Hearer of the word, go do what it tells you
Change comes from God alone
Only He can make you new

Road to Damascus

Words and music: Jackson Baugh
c 2005

I was leading myself
Down a long and empty road
I met my savior (face to face) right there
Jesus touched me and changed my life
Cause empty roads go nowhere
Take my vision so I can clearly see
Move my heart, change my ways
So I can seek your face

I chose my paths in life
And gave it my all
My best wasn't good enough
Not close at all
But I chose my goals in life
Jesus made it clear to me
Take my vision so I can clearly see
Move my heart, change my ways
So I can seek your face

On the road to Damascus
I can feel it in my heart
On the road to Damascus
Where Jesus changed my heart
On the road to Damascus
I can feel it in my heart and in my soul

On the road to Damascus
Can you feel it in your heart?
On the road to Damascus
Where Jesus changes hearts
On the road to Damascus
Can you feel it in your heart
And in your soul

I allowed Him to change my life
Will you allow Him to change your life?

Shaba Hu

Words: Jackson Baugh
Music: Jackson Baugh, Joe Palmer, Kevin Casteel
c 2005

The harder we run, the sooner we will fall
No matter how far we run
We will never outrun His call
In the desert, the desert of destiny
In the desert, the desert of destiny

Walk away your life, make circles in the sand
I run from Him but still
Feel the pulse of the Master's hand
It holds me tight, in the desert of destiny
It holds me tight, in the desert of destiny

Your bride, Your people, Your will in Your time
Your bride, Your people, Your will, Yeshua
Reign over me, rain, fall fresh on me
Jaha yetlubu, Shaba hu
(He'll come for His people)

Thank You

Words and music: Kevin Casteel
c 2005

I just want to thank You, my Lord
For being so good
My heart overflows, my God
I'm grateful to You
It's more than just the gifts that You give
It's more than anything that You do
I just want to thank You, my Lord
For just being You

I just want to thank You, my Lord
For being so good
My heart overflows, my God
I'm grateful to You
You're righteous and You're just, oh Lord
Every day Your mercies are new
I just want to thank You, my Lord
For just being You

Thank You, my Jesus
Thank You, my Lord

You Comfort Me

Words: Kevin Casteel and Jackson Baugh
Music: Kevin Casteel
c 2005

When I'm weary and discouraged
When I'm lonely and afraid
You come to me, You comfort me
I'm unwilling and unworthy
I am sinful and ashamed
Still You come to me, You comfort me

You're my comfort, You're my courage
You're my shelter in life's storms
You're a lover and a warrior
You're the awesome Son of God
You are closer than a brother
You are tender, You are strong
I am overwhelmed with mercy
I am overwhelmed with love
I'm in awe

When my dreams have turned to ashes
When I feel like I have failed
You come to me, You comfort me,
When I'm empty and I'm hurting
When the tears fall down like rain
You come to me, You comfort me

You're my comfort, You're my courage
You're my shelter in life's storms
You're a lover and a warrior
You're the awesome Son of God
You are closer than a brother
You are tender, You are strong
I am overwhelmed with mercy
I am overwhelmed with love

I'm unwilling and unworthy
I am sinful and ashamed
Still You come to me, You comfort me
