2012
Music and Lyrics: Eli Prinsen
2009
Prophecies now multiply- the truth determined to defy
Countdown to the end of the earth-or to some great spiritual rebirth
(Awakening)
Nibiru to materialize and Atlantis from the depths to arise
(Pre Chorus)
Or some ridiculous fiction
Like the world being saved by UFO aliens
Could be “the Grays” or the Annunaki
If after all we’re merely hybrid beings
Created from extraterrestrial genes
Containers for reincarnating
(Chorus)
December twenty first two thousand and twelve
Two thousand and twelve
Jesus warned about- false prophets-and their evil schemes
Nastrodamus quatrains- Bible code matrices.
Nuclear war as the planets align-A polar shift as the mother ship arrives
The Mayan calendar reaches it’s end- as a comet slams the world into
extinction.
(Repeat Pre Chorus)
(Repeat Chorus)
(Solo Eli Prinsen
)
Oh it’s so plain to see -we’re just searching for some way- to give our lives
some meaning
Intrigued and mystified with the unknown
We want life to matter -more to us than mere flesh and bone
We have eternal souls and Jesus is the key
The only pathway to immortality

FREEDOM
Music and lyrics: Eli Prinsen
2009
Lookin’ back it’s hard to believe
The things that we’ve achieved
We’ve come such a long way in 200 years
With a vision of freedom we made our stand
Our forefathers shed their blood for this land
We live in today
(Chorus)
One nation under God…
Indivisible
Sacrifices made for you and me
Freedom never came for free
Bloodshed here and abroad
On land and at sea and upon the cross
A gift so freely given
Paid for with their lives
Don’t ever forget this freedom that you’ve be given or those who died
-so you could live where you have a choice.
And a voice.
(Repeat Chorus)
I pledge allegiance to the flag of The United states of America
And to the republic for which it stands
One nation under God! Indivisible
With liberty and justice for all.
(solo Eli Prinsen)
Don’t ever forget this freedom that you have
Or The One who died for us all to live forever

No promise of tomorrow
Music and Lyrics: Eli Prinsen
2010
Their witnessing makes me uncomfortable
I’d rather wait until I’m old
To get saved and change my evil ways
I’m to headstrong I can’t be told
The last day I’d ever see
Wish somehow I could have seen this coming
Never saw the light turn red
Died so fast I can’t believe I’m dead
Out of time my life is spent
Blackout without time to repent
(Chorus)
No promise of tomorrow
If God says the same
No promise of tomorrow
Wish I knew this was a dream
My God this just cannot be happening
I’m sorry now, I wanna live
I’m a good guy I’ve got so much to give
Cannot move-cannot scream as..
The Book of Life is opening
(solo Eli Prinsen)
It’s too late- for me- to change - To all -the living -please
Don’t wait another day ….
Immortality and eternal life
Light and dark -good and evil
The choice -is yours
(Chorus)
No promise of tomorrow
If God says the same
No promise of tomorrow

The Return
Music: Eli Prinsen
Lyrics compiled from: Revelation 19:11-21
2010
And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse
And he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True
And in righteousness he doth judge and make war
His eyes were as a flame of fire and on his head were many crowns
And he had a name written that no man knew, but he himself
Clothed in a vesture dipped in blood and his name was called
The Word of God.
And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, with it he’ll smite the nations
He treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
Fowls in the midst of heaven
Gather together unto the supper of the great God
That ye may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of captains and the flesh of horses and of them that sat on them.
And I saw the beast and his armies and the kings of the earth
gathering together to make war against Him who sat on the horse
The beast and the false prophet were cast alive into the lake of fire
The rest were killed with the sword which proceeded from the mouth of Him
who sat on the horse
And all the fowls were filled with there flesh.

The Path To Righteousness
Music and Lyrics: Eli Prinsen
2010
If we had the power to- go back in time
To erase every mistake we’ve made in our lives
Oh what would it even mean- to never learn a thing -just existing
Should’ve turned left - when I turned right
Should’ve just called a cab, should’ve just stayed at home that night
Oh I wish I could I know then -the things that I know now- somehow
I’ve spent so many years- reflecting on the past
And where I’ve gone astray
Stumbling on and off -the path in front of me
From looking in the rear view mirror- of my life
(Chorus)
I’ve got to find a way - to break free from these painful memories
Poisoning the life I want to live
I need Your strength
To restore my dignity and- hold my head up high
And not feel so ashamed
To know that love I knew and- the security
And not be so afraid- to have faith again
(Chorus)
I’ve got to find a way - to break free from these painful memories
Poisoning the life I want to live
Without the burden of my sin
I’m ready for the nightmares to end
(Solo Eli Prinsen)
Now the pain is fading away
The past is in the past where it always should have stayed
I’ll learn from my mistakes and take a leap of faith
Towards the future.
I’ve been set free and born again
The man I used to be has died with all those sins
My God has rescued me from my insanity
I am found

In Heaven
Music: Johnny Bowden and Eli Prinsen
Lyrics: Eli Prinsen
2007
As I close my eyes and say goodbye I realize I’m floating high above those by my bed
I feel such a peace that the worries of this world that I leave seem never to have existed
An angel is my guide as we fly fast towards the light that’s approaching at the end of the tunnel
It’s actually happening my first day of eternity Next stop the pearly gates I can hardly wait
(Chorus)
To behold this place to see Jesus face
There are no words to describe this
Thousands of angels sing praise and worship to our king
And I cannot wait to join with them
In heaven
Walking on the streets of gold listening to the stories told ancestors all the way back to Adam
First hand accounts of the past, answers to all questions asked and forever to learn
No sun needed for light our God is shining bright
One days a thousand years no more pain and no more tears
(Chorus)
In this place we see Jesus face
There are no words to describe this
Thousands of angels sing praise and worship to our king
And here I am singing with them
(Solo Eli Prinsen)
(Chorus)
In this place we see Jesus face
There are no words to describe this
Thousands of angels sing praise and worship to our king
And here I am singing with them
I know we’ll meet again I’ll be waiting for you when you enter in to the place Jesus prepared for you
Can’t wait for you to see the things I’ve just begun to see in heaven

I concede
Music: Johnny Bowden
Lyrics: Eli Prinsen
2008
Time moves by so slow yet the years seem to race and pass me by
I’ve made mistakes and I’ve said and done things
I can’t take back, no matter how hard I try
I want to change and I really want to change things
I’ve made a mess of but I just can’t do it alone
Lord I need Your helping hand
And strength enough to fix this broken man
(Chorus)
I hear you knocking at my front door
And it’s time I don’t ignore You anymore
You’re the only friend who has not forsaken me
I’m tired of running endlessly from You
I’ve given in a time or two and I’ve had to suffer the consequences
I have no one but myself to blame for this
I can’t even look in the mirror without seeing the blame in my own eyes
Three words (I love you) are the cause for all these tears I cry
Lord I hope someday You’ll find in me
A man whose not dying once he say’s he’s sorry
(Chorus)
I hear you knocking at my front door
And this time I won’t ignore You anymore
You’re the only friend who has not forsaken me
I’m tired of running I concede to
I concede I’m tired of running I can’t go on anymore
(Solo Johnny Bowden)

Victorious
Music: Johnny Bowden
Lyrics: Eli Prinsen
2007
Theories for the end of time speculation of every kind
Bible codes and Aztec wheels war on earth over which faith is real
Until a shout’s heard around the world
In the voice of the archangel
Trumpets sound throughout the land
Every eye beholding the sign of The Son of Man coming in the clouds
(Chorus)
All nations sing He is victorious
over hell and death triumphant He returns
To meet us in the sky
With great power and glory He has arrived
Like a thief in the night, faster than the speed of light
Comes the ultimate event in the history of all mankind
As it was in Noah’s day people ate and were married
Not knowing until the great flood rains came and took them all away
But of this hour and day no man knows
Nor The Son nor the angels
Take up your cross my friend
Along with me and we will follow Him
What I say unto you I say unto all watch!
Until a shout’s heard around the world
In the voice of the archangel
For all of those who’ve fought the fight
Battled temptation and persevered to follow Christ
Your time has come
(Chorus)
All nations sing He is victorious
Over hell and death triumphant He returns
To meet us in the sky
The time has come Jesus has arrived
Like a thief in the night, faster than the speed of light
Comes the ultimate event in the history of all mankind
As it was in Noah’s day people ate and were married
Not knowing until the great flood rains came and took them all away

FATHER
Music: Johnny Bowden
Lyrics: Eli Prinsen
2007
Forgive me Father for when I did You wrong
Heart broken felt like I couldn’t go on
You were there for me
You gave me hope and You held my hand
Your Word helped me to understand
You stood by me when I needed a friend
Down cast eyes flowing with tears
Replaying all the wasted years
Wondering how I ever fell from grace
Oh---If not for the memory
Of when You lived inside of me
I don’t think I’d have strength to rise again.
Father God, I’ve gone astray and I want to come home
Hold me in your loving arms and don’t ever let go.

Saved
Music and Lyrics: Eli Prinsen
2007
I made a choice today - that set my spirit free
Said a simple prayer- the preacher gave to me
I felt the weight of the world -lifted as a peace came over me
I was so nervous - glad I took my chances
(Chorus)
Gonna ride this high- until I fly
Reborn I’m gonna be- the man that I was meant to be
Learning how to live more everyday
Winter giving birth to spring
Lovers hear the angels sing
No words for what they’re feeling
Love is real and it’s something you can’t see
And the wind is the same way
Do you get what I’m trying to say?
Don’t let others doubt dismay
Don’t let them take your faith away
I n my life I’ve made- my share of mistakes
I had convinced myself -I didn’t have what it takes
And though the enemy -kept me paralyzed until today
God forgave -and someday I’ll fly away!
Repeat Chorus
(solo Eli Prinsen)
Repeat Chorus
Free for me what it cost
Jesus paid the price up on the cross
Can’t wait until I see- heaven’s gates opened for me
No longer lost, I’m found, I am saved.

Believe
Music: Eli Prinsen
Lyrics: Eli and Kim Prinsen
2010
My heart’s heavy as I see- the adds running on T.V.
Promoting scientology
The lost are out there hurting
They’re all doing soul searching
Just for something to believe.
Depression caused by aliens
Ridiculous as this may seem
It’s just a part of what their teaching
And if you can afford the fee
To be set free from their machine
You can be a happy. “thetan?”..a what?!? (sarcastic and confused)
Jesus paid the price for me
Free to all- no hidden fees
All you have to do is believe
Many fearing judgment day
But with the truth, the light and the way
Heaven’s just a heartbeat away….
(instrumental break)
Almighty God forgave me
The Holy Spirit guiding me
Onto the path I need to be
Nourished by His every word
I recognize just how absurd
The foolish lies of the enemy’s are!
(solo/break)
(samples)
Don’t let darkness cloud your mind
Open up your heart and He
Will fill that void inside you completely
Ask Him to forgive your sins
And know a love that never ends
All you have to do is believe - and receive him!

"Slay The Wicked"
George Ochoa
(c) 1990 Carlotta Pub (BMI)
Angelic forces fighting the battles
Unseen warriors mighty they are
There is no place where angels fear to tread
Drawing swords of His awesome power
The word of truth on their lips
Prevailing over the rulers of this age
Release the power
Not ours not angels but God's above
This is the hour
Demons your fate is sealed
Slay the wicked
Demonic forces lie waiting to deceive
Fallen angels incite rebellion
The human race is their prey: don't be enslaved by their sinister scheme
Resist the devil and he will flee from you
Don't give place to his lies
Not being ignorant of any devices
Submit to God: be a vicar of Christ
Release the power
Not ours not angels but God's above
This is the hour
Demons your fate is sealed
Slay the wicked
Release the power
Not ours not angels but Jesus name
This is the hour
Satan your time has come
Slay the wicked
