Album • 1988
I know that your heart is burnin' up Like a bonfire on the plain, ha! Try crashin' in a different alley every night The rain wakes you up just the same Now Satan keeps a flame jumpin' up and around He's tellin' you, take a dive You can't get a fix of what's going wrong He keeps feedin' you alibis Living on the edge While your world is comin' apart Living on the edge There's a cry in your heart Living on the edge Being dragged down by sin Till the light of the Word comes in Walkin' cross the line that you never could see And you're spinnin' 360 degrees There's a demon movin' round Keeping low to the ground You wanna fly away, but he won't leave Uh huh, Satan's gonna pull ya, baby, every way But it's time to learn a thing or two When you feel the locomotion of a runaway train Jesus will be there for you Living on the edge While your world is coming apart Living on the edge There's a cry in your heart Living on the edge Being dragged down by sin Till the light of the Word comes in Used to ride hard on a jet black horse Heard you comin' four towns away Livin' on the lam, takin' lovin' when you can Never shake a thought past today Now I see a change in the way that you live Satan's tricks are all yesterday's news You've got a love in your eye And I can understand why You've got the Holy Spirit inside of you Living on the edge While your world is coming apart Living on the edge There's a cry in your heart Living on the edge Being dragged down by sin

You can feel the cold of a heart locked up in ice Addicted to wine and women Seems like there's no escape from the vise But still a higher power comes down Like a chisel on cold steel It's the love of God knockin' on the door With a love that's, oh, so real When the walls tumble down There's no stoppin' the love from comin' in When the walls tumble down The new life will begin Now you have a chance to lay it on the line They're all playin' their cards But they're runnin' out of time Still the love of God keeps knockin' Lick the hammer hits the nail And the light through you can reach the world

You always say you wanna follow me But when I call you're never around Talk is cheap. It's time for action This time I'm gonna pin you down I wanna see your faith on the line You've got to take it to the limit 'Cause my love is all you need Take it to the limit And by my side you'll always be I could provide everything you lack But you keep tryin' to carry the world on your back I wanna see your faith on the line You've got to take it to the limit 'Cause my love is all you need Take it to the limit And by my side you'll always be You talk in circles but You can't see You'll find your freedom When you start trustin' in Me I wanna see your faith on the line You've got to take it to the limit 'Cause my love is all you need Take it to the limit

Julie my child Why do you run? Why have you turned away from me? You say it's hard To live perfectly And all you can see Is how you fail me constantly You fail me constantly You fail me constantly My blood has cleaned you Your sins are remembered no more So come on, and walk with me Julie my child I've set you free For I want you to be with me eternally I love you so I want you to know That I'm the one who's calling you home Calling you home Calling you home My blood has cleaned you Your sins are remembered no more So come on, and walk with me My blood has cleaned you Your sins are remembered no more

Because of Jesus, I have peace of mind Because of Jesus, I'm no longer blind Because of Jesus, old things have passed away Because of Jesus, you can start again today Still I don't understand His love, the love He has for me I just know one simple fact, He died to set me free When I see that I have fallen, I just go to Him Because Jesus is the only one who can take away my sin Because of Jesus, I have peace of mind Because of Jesus, I'm no longer blind Because of Jesus, old things have passed away Because of Jesus, you can start again today There were times I thought that He had left me on my own I have learned how much He loves me and now, now I know That I am like a jewel to Him and He watches over me And He is so concerned about me that He will never leave Because of Jesus, my old life is gone Because of Jesus, instead of bein' weak, I'm strong Because of Jesus, all things have been made new

I'll take the high road There's nothin' stoppin' me now I like to gamble with my fate And there's no turning back I'm in the big time And no one can deny it I'm playing for high stakes I'm on the attack Don't tell me there's no profit If I gain the world and lose my soul Don't want to hear about eternity I'm livin' for today, yes, I'm on a roll When the clock strikes The clock strikes midnight When the clock strikes Time's run out on you When the clock strikes The clock strikes midnight The Lord's going to give to each man his due My star is rising It's high in the sky I burn the candle at both ends Lightin' up the night Don't try to cross me 'Cause I'll do you in I've done it before And I'll do it again Don't tell me there's no profit If I gain the world and lose my soul Don't want to hear about eternity I'm livin' for today, yes, I'm on a roll When the clock strikes The clock strikes midnight When the clock strikes Time's run out on you When the clock strikes The clock strikes midnight The Lord's going to give to each man his due

Satan, the roaring lion roams to and fro Seeking whom he may devour The word of God tells us so He's the father, the father of lies And he's come to destroy He's the one who hates you Then discards you like a broken toy The Lord opposes the proud But gives grace to the humble Give yourself to God With your eyes on him, you won't stumble And as for Satan, resist him And he will flee from you Oh, resist him Get close to God, He will get close to you Oh Satan, he tells you He has something good for you He whispers in your ear, cracks open the door He crashes through At first you might not notice, this angel of light I'm tellin' you, get your eyes on Jesus He's the Way, the Truth and the Life

Time You say you've got a lifetime to live, my friend At night, I always see you foolin with time Today you're a high speed ruler No time to listen to your heart But I know you hasten on the wings of the night Living in a lost world, yeah Living in a lost world Living on a lick and a promise But the bill is gonna come due Will he be the long awaited friend Or a thief in the night to you? No way Can you look into the future and know When he'll be coming on you Right now it's time to accept him Decision's overdue He's standing near with his arms open wide He's calling you, he knows your name The time has come, it's your choice to make Don't hide

It was party after party for me Late nights, bright lights, J.D. on ice, ow! I was blinded, I couldn't see Felt right, uptight, never thought twice I had an empty feelin' inside I was searchin' for somethin' more Pow! It hit me When Jesus walked through this door My friends don't understand the change But since I've found your love I'm on top, top of the world I'm on top, top of the world Inside me, there was nothin' to feel So numb, so dark, feeling so cold My close friend showed me the truth He told me, look up, now you've been told Now all things have been made new My darkest hour has been long gone I'm living each day for you You give me strength to fight, fight on! My friends don't understand the change But since I've found your love I'm on top, top of the world I'm on top, top of the world
