Track 2: Keep the Commandments

Keep the Commandments.
And when you can't keep the Commandments,
Remember that God still loves you.
Even when you're lost, God loves you.
I'm the Lord your God, brought you out of slavery.
You shall have no other gods before me.
You shall not make for yourself an idol.
Some clowns try to do that with the Bible.
Whether it's in heaven or it's in the water,
Don't bow to them, bow to your Father
I, the Lord your God am a jealous God.
But I don't think you hear me.
I said, I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God.
Don't put your faith in Sponge Bob.
But I show steadfast l.o.v.e. to your sis and to your bro
To your grandmamma and your grandpapa
And to your grandma's grandma's grandma's grandma's grandmama
And to your grandpa's grandpa's grandpa's?
Keep the Commandments.
And when you can't keep the Commandments,
Remember that God still loves you.
Even when you're lost, God loves you.
You shall not make wrongful use
Observe the Sabbath Day and keep it holy, okay
One day two day three day four
Fifth day, you get paid late, that's cool
Sixth day you work and play you learn to stay in school
The seventh day, remember the drill.
What's that? Be still.
Honor your father even if he bothers you
You know what else to do?
Honor your mother tell you that you love her
?Cause she loves you too
Do not murder
I've never murdered, except a cheeseburger
But words are sure to discourage
Don't kill ?em with your words
Talk to ?em first
Love each other and love me
The biggest commandment there ever will be.
You shall not commit adultery on this earth.
You shall respect their bodies for what they're worth
You shall not steal
You shall respect others a great deal
You shall not bear false witness
You shall never forget this
You shall not covet
You shall enjoy your life and love it.
And if you cannot keep all ten,
Remember that grace will overcome sin.
Keep the Commandments.
And when you can't keep the Commandments,
Remember that God still loves you.
Even when you're lost, God loves you.
Love the Lord your God,
And love each other.
That's what it comes down to, right?

God so loved the world,
That he gave his only Son,
That whoever believes,
Will have eternal life!
He came to save,
Not to condemn.

And to call us friends.
Jesus is hope, Jesus is peace.
Now we know love, love, love.
And we can shout, ?Amen!? ?Amen!?
We can shout, ?Amen!? ?Amen!?

From One Body Alive
www.augsburgfortress.org
Baptized into the death of Christ
And raised again to new life
Baptized into the death of Christ
And raised again to new life.
Down, down, down
I was sinking deep in sin
Killing me, killing me from deep within
He put me to death that day
And the family of God stood up to say
Baptized into the death of Christ
And raised again to new life
Baptized into the death of Christ
And raised again to new life.
Down, down, down,
Through the water, down I went
Lifted up in a brand new covenant
They made the sign on my brow
And I'll do it again to remember now. 1-2-3
Baptized into the death of Christ
And raised again to new life
Baptized into the death of Christ
And raised again to new life.
Sing, sing, sing
To the ones who have not heard
We've been washed in the water and the word
We'll sing with every breath
We will share his life like we shared his death
Baptized into the death of Christ
And raised again to new life
Baptized into the death of Christ
And raised again to new life. (2X)

As you did, Lord, at Emmaus
You reveal your presence to us
In the breaking of the bread.
You reach to us today!
Clearly active in this world,
With your love, you invade!
You meet us in word and water
Marking us as child forever,
Finding us locked in our sins
And tearing 'way our chains.
Clearly active in this world,
With your love, you invade!
Always finding ways to reach us,
Spirit breathing life into us,
Shaper of the universe
Comes as a tiny babe.
Clearly active in this world,
With your love, you invade!
Yours is love that has no end,
Strong defender, quiet friend.
None can keep us from your grace
And so we celebrate!
Clearly active in this world,
With your love, you invade!

www.pedereide.com
Every mile, every step, every time we take a breath
We know we can carry on.
By his Spirit, God provides
Faithful walking side by side
There's a place where we belong
It's not a building or a steeple
It's a fellowship of people
Standing on the rock that makes us strong
We will lean on each other
We are sisters we are brothers
This is the family of God
It's for anyone who's needing
There is laughter there is healing
The door is open come just as you are
This is the family of God
When we sing, when we kneel,
When we pray or share a meal
There is more that we must do
It's the call of who we are
Seek the lost and broken heart
We can help them make it through
See the friends and see the strangers
Who know nothing of the Savior
Show them Jesus lives in me and you.
We will lean on each other
We are sisters we are brothers
This is the family of God
It's for anyone who's needing
There is laughter there is healing
The door is open come just as you are
This is the family of God
It's not a building or a steeple
It's a fellowship of people
Standing on the rock that makes us strong
We will lean on each other
We are sisters we are brothers
This is the family of God
It's for anyone who's needing
There is laughter there is healing
The door is open come just as you are
We will lean on each other
We are sisters we are brothers
This is the family of God
It's for anyone who's needing
There is laughter there is healing
The door is open come just as you are
This is the family of God

Track 14: Firelight Theme Song
"Firelight" theme song ® 2001 Augsburg Fortress.
We light the candle of faith and we know
A spark, a flame, and like the flame we grow
Firelight spin, near and far
Stories tell us who we are
We learn so many things that teach us to glow
Light up the world, the Bible tells us so
Firelight spin near and far
Stories tell us who we are
Stories tell us who we are
We all are different and we know that is good
We all are neighbors in this global neighborhood
We all have a story to tell
And we all have a question as well.
The face of God is with us every day
We live, we learn, and as we learn we pray.
Firelight pull us in, Firelight spin again,
Firelight pull us in, Firelight spin again,
Burning bush and Bethlehem star
Stories tell us who we are (4X)
