Falling
Music: Phillips, Prinsen
Lyrics: Phillips
Called out to fight this battle divided man
What started as the word began to stir the heart
Freedom came (through) shattered chains
Lifted to life from a shallow grave
(Chorus)
And as we see the madness
Lusting for a hopeless mirage
Confusion burning the eyes
A counterfeit react...
Calling falling
Communication an invitation staring at the door
Once inside try to hide Christ will be your guide
10,000 lies you realize a wasted life no more
The word of God it penetrates a solid heart of stone
Still we live inside this shell of sinful desires
He can save your deepest sins pray you'll be known
(Repeat chorus)
Save my soul oh Lord
Rescue me from certain death…
(Solo Michael Phillips)
This battle that is fought between your body and your soul
Perseverance running racing fixed upon the prize
Casting shadows conjuring the darkness below
In complete habitual godlessness
Meditation lifting up your eyes to the sky
Like a man who draws his bow to pierce the bulls eye
(Repeat chorus)

Ark of The Covenant
Music: Eli Prinsen and Michael Phillips
Lyrics: Eli Prinsen
(Lead Michael Phillips)
40 days and 40 nights
Moses spent with God on Mount Sinai
The Ten Commandments given to him
And instructions to build what to carry them in
From acacia wood covered in the purest gold
(Chorus)
Ark - of - The Covenant
Earthly throne - voice of God
Above and through cherubim wings
Once a day for seven days
The priests carried The Ark around Jericho
Covered to protect those who carried it
Sounding seven trumpets of ram’s horns
And with a shout the walls came crumbling down
(Chorus)
Ark - of - The Covenant
Power - Beneath a veil
Just one look could cause instant death
The Philistines managed to capture The Ark
And misfortune followed wherever they went
Smitten with tumors and with plagues of rats
With offerings of gold they gave The Ark back.
(Solo Roy Z)
The Temple destroyed in 586 BC
The Ark becomes lost in the sands of time
Legend and folklore and mysteries abound
Multiple claims of it’s true whereabouts
Some feel it’s a matter of faith
The Ark’s gone so without seeing we shall believe
And now we have a new covenant
The Blood of Jesus and The New Testament

The Nephilim Agenda
Music: Eli Prinsen and Marc Register
Lyrics: Eli Prinsen
There were Giants in the earth in those days- and also after that,
when the sons of God came in unto the-daughters of men,
and they bare children to them - the same became -mighty men
which were of old, men of renown.
Nephilim!
200 watcher angels descended from the sky
A pact was made to share in the wrath of God that they defied
Leaving their spiritual habitat with a hunger for the flesh
Defiling themselves with women and corrupting the planet
Trading of virgin daughters for these beings
Powers of enchantment-and their unnatural abilities
Knowledge hidden from man revealed
Nothing to lose - no manner of evil concealed
Contaminating the bloodline with their DNA
Hybrid Nephilim giants masqueraded as the gods
Perverted knowledge passed down to them by their angelic fathers
Cursed to wander the earth for all time as unclean spirits (demons)
Awaiting punishment the angels bound and cast into Tartarus
God sorry he’d ever made man
.
Only Noah’s obedience to God and his unblemished DNA
Would allow him to escape the coming flood
And the destruction of the human race.
(Solo Michael Phillips)
There were giants in the earth -in those days and also after
And they’ll surely try again -to destroy God’s plan
As in the days of Noah, so will the days of the coming of the Son of Man be
Will the fallen ones return - from the sky - to deceive?

Time’s Up
Music and Lyrics: Eli Prinsen
Time’s up- the final grain of sand- in the- hour glass
Has fallen and your life on earth is over
The years forgotten flashing -right before your eyes
Ignoring for a lifetime- that everybody dies
A million things are rushing -through your consciousness
Things you wish you’d never done or things you should’ve said
Your loved ones grieving and their mortal security
Too much is left undone and out of your reach -to ever change
No stay of execution
This time there’s no rewind, erase
This final flight through time and space
Will take you to a Holy place
You’re gonna have to state your case
When you meet God face to face
(solo Michael Phillips)
Ahhhh… Who is going to intercede?
Only through Jesus- will you find immunity
From hell fire - you’ll be saved.

Words on the gin
Music and Lyrics: Michael Phillips
The soft words spoken back when I first realized
So full of dreams and of life and innocence of youth
She walked in front of my path on a warm summer’s night
The feelings that I felt deep inside were genuine love
(Chorus)
I knew then
Would she know when
I knew then
The painted words on the gin
(Solo Michael Phillips)

Behold The Power of God
(Music: Eli Prinsen)
(Lyrics : Eli Prinsen with inspiration from The Book of Exodus)
God sent Moses and Aaron to Egypt
To ask the pharaoh to release the Israelites
So they may hold a feast to Him in the wilderness
For He’d heard their cries- and remembered His covenant with them
Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord, who’s voice I should obey?
I do not know the Lord, nor will I let Israel go.
(Chorus)
Pharaoh!- Let my people go! (GO!)
Out of Egypt to the land -promised to Abraham
His hardened heart brought forth the 10 calamities
To show the impotence of Egyptian deities
And to show - the world - The power of God!
The first three plagues the Pharaoh’s sorcerers could reproduce
But soon they’re magic failed to match what came into being
When the Dust turned to lice, they called this “the finger of God”
Plagues of beasts and pestilence, of boils and of hail
locusts and a darkness so dense that it could be felt
But not until the death of the firstborn would he comply
(Chorus)
Pharaoh!- Let my people go! (GO!)
Out of Egypt to the land -promised to Abraham
His hardened heart brought forth the 10 calamities
To show the impotence of Egyptian deities
And to show - the whole world - The Power of God!
(Solo Michael Phillips)
(Chorus)
Pharaoh!- Let my people go! (GO!)
Out of Egypt to the land -promised to Abraham
His hardened heart brought forth the 10 calamities
To show the impotence of Egyptian deities
He finally let them go but soon would change his mind
Moses parted the red sea - with the armies close behind
Once all the Israelites had gone safely across
God released the waters and pharaohs army was lost
Behold -The Power- of God!

REGENERATION
Music: Prinsen
Lyrics: Prinsen
Can you feel it-the end accelerating -losing control- a downward spiral
Unrest all hope is fading- the fear we’re facing going viral
(pre chorus)
Here come the blaming games - pointing fingers- accusing
Political shouting matches ending -in stalemate- so unproductive
(chorus)
It’s time to remember our faith
One nation under God awake
While greedy hands twist and turn nations riot, fires burn
Hands and fists raised to the sky
Oh woe is me proclaiming “God has turned His back on me”
When all these problems are man made
When times were better wasting every resource that we could buy
And now we’re finally saving for the uncertainty in our lives
(pre chorus)
Here come the blaming games - pointing fingers- accusing
Political shouting matches ending -in stalemate- again and again
(chorus)
It’s time to remember our faith
One nation under God awake
While greedy hands twist and turn nations riot, fires burn
Hands and fists raised to the sky
Oh woe is me proclaiming “God has turned His back on me”
When all these problems are man made
(solo Michael Phillips)
(chorus)
It’s time to remember our faith
One nation under God awake
The time has come to regenerate
Back to our humble beginnings…America!

Offended
Music and Lyrics: Eli Prinsen
Action and reaction time and time again
Responses resulting in one another being offended
Human nature- stubborn & headstrong - we’ve all got our pride
The number one weapon of the devil -fueling these fires inside
(Chorus 1)
Remember being a new Christian in all your zeal
Defending what is sacred with all the faith you feel…inside
A simple disagreement morphing into violence
A difference of opinion with tragic consequences…
(Chorus 2)
So wickedly designed to cause division
Be weary of debating politics and religion
Evil’s near….
(Solo Michael Phillips)
Way too many times in life - we act before we think
In an instant creating years filled with regret and pain
Opinions, offences and the pride of getting our way
Like puppets robbed of all logic acting foolishly

BEFORE THE STORM
(Tate, Wilton )
Red gates of iron cast their Black shadows -on this land
Dividing souls... far below
The gathering winds the armies watch Are rising -from the west
Foretelling news... of freedom's hand
In secrecy they've infiltrated All of -our strongholds
Controlling more... year after year
So we've let this happen all along Believing- what's been said
Our leaders cry... we have no one to fear
(Chorus)
We watch the sun rise, and hope
We watch the sun rise, and hope
That it won't be our last
Before the storm
Before the storm
Before the storm
Before the storm
Is it late to try, must we all die Our system- awaits test
Freedom by choice... is it for all men, best
So we wait in fear the atom split Our hearts in two be torn
Learn from the past... before the storm
(Chorus)
We watch the sunrise, and hope
We watch the sunrise, and hope
That it won't be our last

Music and Lyrics: Mike Phillips
Darkness surrounding all of the earth it suffocates
Wondering when will it be sad it will be tomorrow
Wise men spoke long ago of a time, could this be?...a skeleton key
A glimpse into the future a cry for our mercy
(Chorus)
Separating goats from sheep
There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth
Right now is the time an opportunity to trust the son of man
Jesus Christ created you from dust not so you should lust
Each of us eats spoiled meat disengaged and incomplete asking why
This shroud of flesh is strong so strong
Only with prayer and a willing heart can sin be beat
(Repeat Chorus)
(vocals Michael Phillips)
Earthquakes rumors of war famine and plagues
Pestilence men seeking death cant seem to find their last breath
Stone upon stone will be torn down tomorrow
Nation will rise against nation impending sorrow
The prophet said Judea has fled unto the mountains never turn your back
If they say i know the way we were warned to stay away
(Repeat Chorus)
Lightning strikes down from east to west so shall it be
The kings return dust in the urn the vultures circling the rotting flesh
The sun will be dark as the moon turns to blood and the stars fall from the sky
And then the son of man will appear on high gathering his chosen from his hand no one can pry
(Repeat Chorus 2x)
