Wolves at the Gate
EP • 2011
I consider my life worth nothing to me If only I may finish the race And complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me The task of testifying to the Gospel of God's grace Now I know that none of you whom I have gone About preaching the Kingdom will ever see me again Therefore I declare to you today that I am innocent of the blood of all men For I have not hesitated to proclaim the whole will of God Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock To which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers Be shepherds of the church, of God, which He bought with His own blood I know that when I leave, savage wolves will come in among you And will not spare the flock Even from your own number, men will arise And distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them So be on your guard We are not the wolves at the gate, we are the ones who face them

Death awaits us all as we walk this path Though different endings, in His light or in His wrath We never know what awaits For every loved one lost, I see the pain in every heart And still we all must pay the cost, our sin has kept us apart So you've got the world Gripping your life in your hands Taking for granted the breath in your lungs But death has a voice Singing to us, "Make your stand" Death is ever certain we all share this fate I watched you go away, know it was coming Vanished and we didn't know it, we didn't know it I sat and watched and prayed, we didn't know it, we didn't know it God has called your name, we didn't know it In death, we see that we are just as vapors And life has become what we all do savor When all is lost and taken away Endless nights to weep and pray We're letting it all out, still it feels so quiet For every loved one lost, I see the pain in every heart And still we all must pay the cost, our sin has kept us apart Still in these bodies, feeling fragile with the same fate Never knowing if our time fills or death awaits While our hearts are pounding inside, we'll fight and not break To my King, I will confide my everything In death, we see that we are just as vapors And life has become what we all do savor When all is lost and taken away Endless nights to weep and pray We're letting it all out, still it feels so quiet Still I'll walk Your path, for You write my story And I'll count the days 'til I see Your glory You will clothe us in spotless white I'll sing to Your glories, what a beautiful sight A host of saints and all the angels With no constraints and nothing painful We'll sing these songs and You will listen In the Book of Life, our names are written

Check my pulse, am I still breathing? Will You grasp my wrist and hold it dear to, to Your heart? To see if I am beating for You and only You, my Father How we live and fight is who we are Whom shall I send? And who will go for us? Whom shall I send? And who will go for us? Who you are is all from me Who you are is all from me I'm leaving behind the things of this world Follow me, my son, and let the dead bury their own So test me, oh Lord, examine my soul Follow me, my son, for what you reap, you will have sown Give light to my eyes to see Your glory divine And break through these skies Hear me when I cry to see Your grace come down And purge these dead, these dead lives Have I not given you a spirit of power and love? I will live to fight for these dead lives "Have I not given you a spirit of power and love?" How we live and fight is who we are And as You dwell inside my heart, You're burning a fire that's growing So when I feel the warmth subside, rekindle the embers that's burning Check my pulse, am I still breathing? Will You grasp my wrist and hold it dear to, to Your heart? To see if I am beating for You A herald I am A mirror to me For sin is destroyed You've been set free How we live the fight is who we are Who you are is all from me You will suffer, but my strength is enough So send me Though you will suffer, your strength is in me So send me

Tonight, my son, be still and sleep while storms are crashing On this deep, we drop the anchor with the hope This vessel holds us still Oh, Great Captain, You navigate the storm My son, be still and sleep while storms are crashing Oh, Great Captain, You navigate the storm An angry water surges, the waves have taken its toll While this ship submerges on my tempest soul And though we've weathered the storm You know the next one could be much stronger And I can see the shoreline Is a mirage or a sign? I can feel the anchor fast as I meet each sudden blast And the cable though unseen bears the heavy strain between Each storm I safely ride until the turning of the tide As I meet each sudden blast We drop the anchor with the hope we won't set sail into the storm We set the sails and tie the rope, tonight, my son, be still and sleep My anchor holds until this tempest calms and dies For this squall's the throne to which He rides Still this faith will last the wave's demise All these purging skies will never see my end We drop the anchor with the hope we won't set sail into the storm We set the sails and tie the rope, tonight, my son, be still and sleep As the waves crash over and over You are my anchor Every gale I meet The plight of all the seas can't separate me For all I have is Yours

Fight the good fight, attempt for the brave This trek for the lost has brought some to the grave Bathed in the fire, for you hope water's pure The flames will grow higher, your cure I do not fear the world's fire for it burns for a moment And though it sears my skin, I rest for it shall relent With the world at your feet and the fire on your back It has nothing to give me, for You've claimed my soul No sacrifice could be too great Some think I've lost my mind, abandoned sanity To speak of truth to find a saving clarity For it will cost my life Forsaking comfort and ease We'll trade it all for a heart with no rival You will be met with strife And make you fall to your knees We'll trade it all for a heart with no rival Throw all your hate and your wrath into the fire And cast all your pain and your fear unto the graces Of our God and King, for the evil will attack Suffer for His love You with the world at your feet And fire on your back For the God above No sacrifice could be too great To fight the good fight You know you must be brave This trek for the lost to save Eighteen years, I have served the Lord And He has never let me down For it will cost my life Forsaking comfort and ease We'll trade it all for a heart with no rival You will be met with strife And make you fall to your knees We'll trade it all for a heart with no rival Expect the suffering and invite all the pain Lord, you have changed me and I am not the same Expect the suffering and invite all the pain Lord, you have changed me and I am not the same Lord, you have changed me and I am not the same

Oh, the depths of riches, like the water that fills the earth The knowledge of my Creator who gives me worth And though I crave to know all of the patterns of this world Is endless for it's beyond tracing out So from as far as I've seen, there is a great hoard against me Because I am a man, sights see targets on my back For all our hearts are not clean and the archers fire freely Because I am a man, sights see targets on my back Because I am a man, sights see targets For every knee will bow and every tongue confess That you are God, for you are God His image bears the sight of the unseen King His name is ever-pleasing, for this we do sing Father of grace and mercy has poured out His wrath Forever Your name proclaims The Father of grace and mercy Has poured out His wrath completely On His Son for our sake, we are free Who brought the Lamb to slaughter for me? Oh, the depths of riches, like the water that fills the earth The knowledge of the one that gives me worth I have not a gift to bring For all things are from Him and glory forever But as their arrows are drawn, there is refuge in view Now don't get me wrong, I am the least of these Knowledge to give or power to seize I have not a gift or a planned endeavor For all things are from Him and glory forever There is love, here is love, this is love, there is love Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Have they not been made such a fool in their squalor? For they desired a sign and sought for the wise When the precursor of life was right in front of their eyes Oh, death, oh, death Has lost its sting on me Oh, death, oh, death Has lost its sting on me Oh, death, oh, death Has lost its sting on me Oh, death, oh, death Has lost its sting on me Oh, death, oh, death You've been forever conquered Oh, death, oh, death You've been forever conquered The Father of grace and mercy Has poured out His wrath completely On His Son for our sake, we are free Who brought the Lamb to slaughter for me? There is love, here is love, this is love, there is love The Father of grace and mercy Has poured out His wrath completely On His Son for our sake, we are free Who brought the Lamb to slaughter for me? The Father of grace and mercy Has poured out His wrath completely On His Son for our sake, we are free Who brought the Lamb to slaughter for me?
