1. Victor, Not Victim
From the Introduction and Chapter 10
Verse 1The news came in a quiet room, the ground beneath me gave; I asked the night a hundred times if this would be my grave.Pre-ChorusBut the Word became flesh and walked our road, He knows the weight I bear; the One who calls me by my name has met me even there.ChorusVictor, not victim, I belong to Christ; the battle's won, the debt is paid, He gave His life. In this world I will have trouble, but I will take heart: He has overcome the world, and nothing can tear us apart.Verse 2They told me who I'd have to be, a body bound and still; but what has happened is not who I am; I rest within His will.BridgeIt is finished, it is finished, not my strength, but His; more than conquerors through Him who loved us: that is who I am.Final ChorusVictor, not victim, I belong to Christ; the battle's won, the debt is paid, He gave His life. In this world I will have trouble, but I will take heart: He has overcome the world, and nothing can tear us apart.
2. Are You for Us?
From Chapter 4
Verse 1Outside the walls of Jericho, the night before the fight, a Man stood with a sword in hand, and Joshua asked, "Which side?"Chorus"No; I come as Commander of the army of the LORD. Take off your sandals, bow your heart, and follow at My word." The battle is not yours to win, it never was your own; the sword is drawn, the walls will fall, the victory is His alone.Verse 2I came to God with all my plans and asked Him to agree; He did not join my little war; He came to conquer me.BridgeHoly ground, holy ground, here I fall upon my face; His sword at rest, the war is won, I stand here by His grace.Final ChorusThe battle is not mine to win, it never was my own; the sword at rest, the walls are down, the victory is His alone.
3. Not One Word Has Failed
From Chapters 7 and 8
Verse 1I count the stones along my road, the years of grace behind: a mother's hand, a narrow escape, a Shepherd's patient mind.ChorusNot one word has failed, not one promise fell; all came to pass, He did it all, and all is well. I count the past to know the future; my heart can rest in Him. The God who kept His word before will keep His word again.Verse 2When giants rise and fear comes back and I forget His hand, I read the stones, I tell my soul the story of the land.BridgeCount His grace, a past like mountains; know His presence, face what comes with peace.Final ChorusNot one word has failed, not one promise fell; all came to pass, He did it all, and all is well.
4. Strong When I Am Weak
From Chapter 13
Verse 1Three times I asked You, Lord, to take this thorn away; You did not leave me in the silence; You had a word to say.ChorusHis grace is enough for me; His power is made perfect in my weakness. So I will boast in what I cannot do, and Christ will be my strength: when I am weak, then I am strong.Verse 2My hands grow still, my steps are slow, my outer self wears away; but deep inside, where no one sees, You make me new each day.BridgeOn a stormy road You walk with me, a pillar of fire and cloud; Lord Jesus, my Shepherd, leads me to the Promised Land.Final ChorusSo I will boast in what I cannot do, and Christ will be my strength: when I am weak, then I am strong.
5. The Shepherd Calls You Home
From the closing, The Shepherd Calls You Home
Verse 1Out on the hills the night is cold; a sheep has lost its way. It cannot find the road back home; it cannot even pray.ChorusBut the Shepherd goes until He finds the one; He lays it on His shoulders, and He carries it home. He is calling you by name tonight; you do not have to find the way. The Shepherd calls you home.Verse 2I said that every road leads home; I did not want His hand. But grace came looking, grace came near, and now by grace I stand.Bridge"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." He must increase, and I must decrease.Final ChorusHe is calling you by name tonight; you do not have to find the way. The Shepherd calls you home.
