Where do you stand
What is your statement
What is it you’re trying to say

What’s in your hand
What’s in your basement
What’s in the cards you don’t play

Are you holding the key
Or are you intending
To pick the lock of heaven’s gate

It’s confusing to me
The message you’re sending
And I don’t know if I can relate

What’s your line
Tell me why you wear your cross of gold
State of mind
Or does it find a way into your soul

Is it a flame
Is it a passion
A symbol of love living in you
(Living in you)

Or is it a game
Religion in fashion
Some kind of phase you’re going through

We all travel the extremes
From cellar to rafter
Looking for a place in the sun

So I’m trying to see
What you’re headed after
But I don’t know where you’re coming from

Whoa, oh, what’s your line
Tell me why you wear your cross of gold
State of mind
Or does it find a way into your soul

What’s your line
Tell me why you wear your cross of gold

For some it’s simply something
To wear around your neck
Just a chain, jewelry
It’s a decoration, it’s an icon, a proclamation
An icon of what
For some it’s simply something
To wear around your neck, just a chain
It means a lot more than that to me

What’s your line
Tell me why you wear your cross of gold
State of mind
Or does it find a way into your soul

What’s your line
Tell me why you wear your cross of gold
State of mind
Or does it find a way into your soul

Wanna tell me why, please tell me why
You wear your cross of gold

–Michael W. Smith, “Cross of Gold”–


We’re content to pitch our tent when the glory’s evident
Seldom do we know the glory came and went
Moving can seem dangerous in this stranger’s pilgrimage
Knowing that you can’t stand still, you cross the bridge

There’s a higher place to go
Beyond belief, beyond belief
Where we reach the next plateau
Beyond belief, beyond belief

And from faith to faith we grow
Towards the center of the flow
Where He beckons us to go
Beyond belief, beyond belief
Whoa!

Leap of faith without a net makes us want to hedge our bet
Water’s never part until our feet get wet, oh-oh
There’s a deeper place to go where the road seems hard to hoe
He who has begun this work won’t let it go (let it go)

There’s a higher place to go
Beyond belief, beyond belief
Where we reach the next plateau
Beyond belief, beyond belief
And from faith to faith we grow (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Towards the center of the flow
Where he beckons us to go
Beyond belief, beyond belief

And it takes so long to see the change
But we look around and it seems so strange
We have come so far, but the journey’s long
And we once were weak, but now we’re strong

There’s a higher place to go
Beyond belief, beyond belief
Where we reach the next plateau
Beyond belief, beyond belief
And from faith to faith we grow
Towards the center of the flow
Where He beckons us to go
Beyond belief, beyond belief

Oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh, ooh-oh (oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
Ooh (oh-oh)

Beyond belief
There’s a higher place to go (ooh)
Beyond belief, beyond belief
Where we reach the next plateau (ooh-ooh-ooh)
Beyond belief, beyond belief

Ooh (oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh, oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh)

Beyond belief
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Beyond belief, beyond belief

–Petra, “Beyond Belief”–


Oh won’t you come with me
To a hill called Calvary
See the face of a bruised and dying man
Can anyone explain
The mystery beyond the pain of this place
Where love is born again

Once and for all
He gave His life
He bled and died
The sacrifice for all
Who will take His name?
Once and for all

Oh won’t you come and see
The tide of all humanity, every race
They come on bended knee
We cannot close the door
That isn’t why He fought
The war of this place
Everyone can be free

Once and for all
Well, He gave His life
He bled and died
The sacrifice for all
Who will take His name?

Once and for all
Open wide the doors
There’s room for more
Tell all the world
That a heart can soar
When you call upon His holy name

Once and for all
There is freedom
Once and for all
There is healing
Love sealed it
Once and for all
Who will take His name?
Once and for all
Call upon His name

It goes on and on
Out to everyone
Who will call upon His name?
On the tide will turn
For all those who yearn
For a heart that burns
With His flame
Once and for all

–White Heart, “Once And For All”–
