"BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB" Song Lyrics
(c) 2003 Peter Liam Holcross
1. CAPTAIN, PLEASE COME AGAIN
Lost..adrift on an endless sea;
Goin', but knowin' not where...
Dreams to guide our destiny,
Heartache to show where we've been.
Captain, please come again: we're near the end!
Time, before and behind us,
The stars, our only friends
The night shows no sign of ending
This storm could well mean our end.
Captain, please come again: we're near the end!
(Chorus) You gave up Your Life to give us the treasure, but
now we need You most of all...
All Your sailors are waiting,
Captain, for Your call!
(spoken) After the tribulation of those days, shall appear the Sign of the Son of Man in heaven;
and they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with power and great glory!
And He shall send His angels with the great sound of
a trumpet and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds,
from one end of heaven to the other!
And the dead in Christ shall rise first; then we which are alive and remain
shall be caught up together with them in the clouds,
to meet the Lord in the air!
And so shall we ever be with the Lord.
(Chorus) Captain, please come again,
we're near the End!

2. THANK YOU, FATHER
Thank You, Father, for what You have done:
You have given Your only Son!
You have taken the burdens away;
You will lead us to a brighter day!
And I know, today, that Your love
will stay, Forevermore!
Thank You, Jesus, for dying for me;
Thank You, Eternal Spirit, for bringing this to be!
Help me give You all the praise,
and all the glory!
Thank You, Father, for what You have done.

3. JUST LET ME LAY DOWN
I'm so tired of trying
to be something I'm not;
Just let me lay down, Lord
At the foot of Your cross!
I have no works, Lord
And I've got no more love
Just let me lay down, Lord
In what You have done!
I'm sick with my sin, Lord
It's too great a load;
Just let me lay down, Lord
All washed in Your blood!
I'm weary with searching,
My own way to find;
Just let me lay down, Lord
In Your peace of mind!
I'm all out of ways, Lord
My own life to fill;
So just let me lay down, Lord
In Your perfect will!
I'm so tired of trying
To be something I'm not
Just let me lay down, Lord
At the foot of Your cross!
********
4. SUNRISE
I've seen mornings come and go,
I've seen the moonlight slip away;
But now I think I finally know
That now we're finally here to stay!
I've heard the rooster crow at dawn,
I've watched the sun rise on the field;
I've been waiting far too long
For this feeling to be real!
I am just a poor wayfarer
Travelin' through this world of sin
There's a highway we can walk on
Leads to grace and truth within!
Now there's a Friend that's closer than a brother
Sticks to my soul just like glue...
Keeps my heart from travelin' yonder;
Don't know what I'd do, Lord, without You!
*Love is a feeling that fills the spaces
And keeps the cold from setting in too far...
Look at all the empty faces
Jesus, they don't know Who You are:
You're the One Who came to free us
Of the chains we forged ourselves
You're the One Who can release us:
Make us strong and make us well!
I've seen mornings come and go
I've seen the moonlight slip away;
But now I think I finally know
That now we're finally here to stay!
********
5. PRODIGAL'S RETURN
I don't want to play any more games
I only want now to praise Your name!
For I've been wandering far too long,
And I'm the only one to blame.
Your Word's been true all along;
And I confess I was wrong.
Please take me back again,
Before my time is gone...
For I am no more worthy
To be called Your son;
And I can't pay You back
For what You've done.
I've served myself for so long
And I was deaf to Your song;
But You led me, Lord,
Back home to You
And this is where I belong!
I've been burned by worldly lies,
But You've opened up my eyes
To see me as I truly am
And it's cut me down to size!
And I believe I've seen enough, Lord!
So back to You I run;
And I can't pay You back
For what You've done.
(Spoken) And so, when the prodigal son came to himself, he
arose, and returned home to his father. But while he was
still a great way off, his father saw him coming, and was
filled with love and compassion; and he ran to his son and
put his arms around him, and kissed him.
Let the world just roll right by me
'Cause I've found Your shining Son!
And I can't pay You back
For what You've done.
No, I can't pay You back, Lord
For what You've done!
********
6. WINGS TO FLY
Holding fast to the only thing
That can bring us life, that can give us wings to fly....
Making sure that the spirit's true, understanding comes to
you and I!
We will journey ever higher, ever seeking His desire;
And come what may, we will not fear!
Our souls filled with fire, His love will lift us higher:
A prayer away, He is so near!
So take hold of the only One who can change your whole life
in one second...Can you see Him?
Don't let go and don't you ever stop, and we can soar above
the mountaintops in true freedom!
Why be stuck upon the ground, with all the weights that
hold us down?
Can a dream come true if we believe?
And we won't die anymore; that's what He died for, and rose
again to set us free, eternally!
So set your sights on things above, keep yourself in the
love of the Father;
Looking not on the things we see,
Welcome to Reality!
********
7. BORN AGAIN!
I'm gambling everything on You, Lord,
Flyin' blind through stormy skies
I won't go back, I've burned the bridge
and I'm runnin' toward the prize!
I thought I knew the answers, and I guess that I still
do...but now I know the Answers have all boiled down to
YOU!
...and I
(Chorus:) Feel I've been born again! and I'm no more of
this world!
It may sound crazy but I've finally found that precious
pearl!
Maybe I've been tryin' too hard to cling to things I'd feel,
when all the time, Your love, Lord, is the only thing that's real!
So I won't look back, the past is gone, Your blood has covered all!
I'm living in reality, just waiting for Your call! and I....(Chorus)
There You were upon the cross, with nothin' 'tween You and me,
but Your sweet Holy Spirit, for all eternity!
So I'm setting sail now, Lord, and You're my shining star!
I'll follow You forever, 'cause I wanna be where You are!
and I... (Chorus)
Let me tell you one thing, friend, and of this one thing I'm sure:
whatever clouds surround you now are bound to
disappear!
Just keep your eyes on Jesus and obey His Holy Word;
leave your old self behind you; you'll be free as a bird!
and you'll feel you've been born again, and you're no more
of this world; it may sound crazy but you've finally found
that precious pearl! And I(Chorus)
********
8. B.O.T.D. (Blood On The Doorpost)
I got off the track, Lord...
I did not obey.
Yes, I got off the track, Lord:
I was goin' astray!
Lord have mercy,
Help me return to Your way!
(Right now!)
Destroying angel, out to claim a life...
Like a roaring lion; but it's not your time!
'Cause there's blood on my doorpost,
So just you pass me by!
(Pass on by!)
Got blood on my doorpost, 'til the end of the night!
His blood has the power
To keep us 'til morning light!(The Blood of Jesus!)
'Cause my God has promised:
His blood will make everything alright!
********
9. SPIRIT OF CHRIST
Spirit Of Truth, lead me home once again;
I've been lying to myself.
I don't have the power You told me to have,
My mind has been somewhere else.
My heart I have hidden; You know how it is:
I'm ashamed to show it all to You!
Forgetting that You are the all-knowing God,
So it's already all known to you!
(Chorus)
Oh, Spirit of Christ, take my soul by the hand
And lead me to comfort and grace!
Let my heart be renewed now and melted again
In rivers of living faith!
I don't want to resist You, so help me to know
The way to be filled once again;
Just when I think I'm so smart and I know,
It's then that I'm empty within.
So teach me repentance whenever Your Light
Reveals the sins in my soul;
May the Spirit of Truth now abide in my heart;
May Your blood touch and make me whole!
(Chorus)
So help me return, Lord, whenever Your light
Reveals the sins in my soul;
And let me surrender completely to You:
May Your blood touch and make me whole!
********
10. REVELATIONS
In the midst of the throne stood a Lamb
As it had been slain:
And all the host of heaven
Praise His name!
Singing, 'Thou art worthy, for Thou wast slain
And hast redeemed us to God,
And now we shall reign with Thee!'
Out of the throne flows the river
Of the water of life,
And the holy city, New Jerusalem,
The Lamb's own bride!
There shall be no night there, just eternal day
For the Light of the Lord
Shall always stay with thee.
Looking unto Jesus,
Forsaking all our sin,
They that overcome
Shall rule and reign with Him!
By the Blood of the Lamb,
and His Word of power;
And He will give you the bright and morning star!
The morning star!
********
11. WALK WITH ME, LADY
Walk with me, lady, I need you near me today;
You're the one that I love, girl, by my side I beg you to stay.
This whole world has nothing I desire more than you;
So walk with me, lady, the road is narrow, but there's room enough for two!
I never said I was perfect, I never said I was anything;
I need your love to see me through.
'Cause all those lonely nights I suffered, without you,
Without you.
So walk with me, lady, the good Lord made you for me:
You're the one that I cherish, I'm your Adam and you are my Eve.
Before I was half, now I'm whole, I can laugh, I can sing!
So walk with me, lady, and talk with me, baby,
He's given us everything.
No one said that it's easy, and the road can be lonely, too.
Where would I be now without you?
We'll share the grace of life together, forever..
I love you...
********
12. JUST A LITTLE SIN
I've got just a little sin, Lord, just a little one,
It'll never hurt anyone!
Oh, won't You overlook it, now, won't You Lord?
It's just a little tiny one!
I know my sin nailed You to the Cross
And caused You to suffer and die;
And I know it grieves Your Holy Spirit right now,
But can't You just let one little sin slip by?
Don't bother Yourself, Lord, and neither will I!
I'll just hide it in some dark corner of my heart.
Nobody else knows, Lord, just You and I;
Why should it keep us apart?
