MOUNTAIN TOP

1. I love to sing and I love to pray: I worship the Lord most every dayI go to the temple and I just want to stay

To hide from the hustle of the world and its ways

Chorus:

I love to live on a mountain top

And be fellowshipping with the Lord

Love to stand on a mountain top: Because I love to feel my spirit soar

But I must come down from that mountain top: To the people in the valley below

They'll never know that they can go: To the mountain of the Lord

They can go to the mountain yeah...

2. Praising the Father is a good thing to do:I worship the trinity in spirit and truth

But if we worship all of the time:

There would be no one to lead the blind

Repeat Chorus

3. Well I am not saying that worship is wrong:Worship is more than just singing a song

It's all that you say and everything that do

It's letting His spirit live in you

Repeat Chorus

They can go to the mountain of the Lord

They can go yeahThey can go (they can go to the mountain)

They can go yeah

They can go (go to the mountain)

They can go, they can go to the mountain (fade)

ARMY OF THE LORD

Words and music: Brent Lamb Straightaway Music (ASCAP)

Chorus:

Are we walking into the enemy's camp, laying our weapons down?

Shedding our armor as we go, leaving it on the ground?

We've got to be strong in the power of his might and prove to the enemy

We are the army of the Lord and we've won the victory.

1. All around us a war's going on between the wrong and the rightWe've got to choose which side we're on-the darkness or the light

Some of the soldiers of the Lord just don't realize

That the captain of the army of darkness has come to blind their eyes





2. Can't you see that we're in a battle and there's no place to hide?The shields of faith are full of darts and their shooting from every side

Just shake out the darts and run right at em' and remember who you're fighting for

Don't fall asleep cuz' if they catch ya' they'll take you prisoner of war










Scriptural Reference: Psalm 60:12, Ephesians 6:11
