Dead Man Walkin’
June 17th, 2006
DEAD MEN WALKING
w/m Karen & Bill Itzel - 5/1/01
Somebody’s searchin’
Can’t you see them searchin’
Lookin’ for escape from reality
We have the answer
Gotta give them the answer
That life can be lived more abundantly
Chorus
Everywhere I look I see dead men walking
They don’t know they’re in for an awful fate
Gotta get the message to the dead men walking
To put faith in Christ before it’s too late
Somebody’s cryin’
Can’t you hear them cryin’
Tryin’ to hide their guilt and pain
They need forgiveness
Gotta show them forgiveness
That can only be found in Jesus’ name
Chorus
Somebody’s watchin’
Don’t you know they’re watchin’
To see if we live what we have said
They’ll see the change
Don’t you know we changed
When we were brought to life from among the dead
PLACES
w/m Bill Itzel 4/11/01
John saw a new heaven and earth
For the old one passed away
The city had no need of the sun
For there, it’s always day
No more crying will be there
No more death, no pain
No more worries, no more sin
For God Himself will reign
Chorus
In my Father’s house are many places
For the ones He finds faithful and true
In my Father’s house are many places
He’s preparing one for me and for you
There’s a spring of living water
That’s free to all who thirst
And a tree of life for healing
To all who were under the curse
There’s a river of the water of life
Coming from the throne
It’s a place of perfect peace and rest
A place that we’ll call home
Chorus
A beautiful city with streets of gold
As far as the eye can see
But, my friend, it stirs my heart to know
That He’s made this place for me
Chorus
Chorus
JUST A LITTLE PRAYER
w/m Karen Itzel
Sometimes you feel like no one is with you
Problems to face but no one cares
You will feel the burdens get lighter
Leave it with Him in just one prayer
Chorus
Just a little prayer and you’ll feel better
just a little prayer and you’ll be surprised
You are not alone no not ever
He is closer than you realized
The world is filled with doubt and confusion
The blind often lead the blind
But He will guide you through the darkness
Depend on Him to be your sight
Chorus
WHEN HE SPEAKS
W/M Bill and Karen Itzel 6/25/01
He rushed from the side of his family
He knew he had no time to spare
He sought out the one
Who could heal his son
And surely, this Jesus would care
And when he approached the Master
On his knees the Nobleman fell
And he was told go your way
For this very day
The son that you love is now well
He arrived home to find great rejoicing
And when the time he got well was revealed
He knew of the power
For that very hour
Jesus said, “You son is now healed”
Chorus
And when He speaks the storm is over
And when He speaks my fears turn to peace
And when He speaks the mountains are cast in the sea
And I know I am loved when He speaks
SAFETY OF THE FOLD
w/m Karen Itzel 5/2/01
Chorus
We’ve got to leave the safety of the fold to reach the one that’s lost
Carrying the saving message of the cross
It’s never easy to reach out beyond what we have known
But we must go if we’re to bring them home
The ninety and nine were safely at home
When the shepherd realized that one little lamb was gone
He searched out in the dark and he searched out in the cold
Listening for the cry of one who was lost and all alone
Chorus
The Father knew the price to bring us safely home
Was the sacrifice of His only Son
He left the Father’s side to become a man like me
And as He died, the cross became the bridge to eternity
FRUIT OPTIONAL? (WHEN GOD SAVES YOU)
w/m Bill Itzel 3/15/01
I know a man selling easy redemption
If you want to go to heaven just raise your hand
Take Jesus out for a spiritual test drive
Just sign the church roll and join the band
But there was no talk of true repentance
Forsaking the old and embracing the new
Chorus
When God saves you the fruit isn’t optional
When God saves you there’ll be a change
When God saves you the world should see a difference
We will bear fruit and our fruit will remain
I’m not talkin’ ’bout a works salvation
But without works our faith is dead
It takes commitment to the living Savior
Not just lip service to a figure-head
You see, there must be true repentance
Forsaking the old and embracing the new
KING OF GLORY
W/M - Paul Adams
I was walking in darkness
Not knowing which way to go
But then You showed me Your light
Hope for the hopeless
Sight for the blind
The lame run and leap and cry
Chorus
King of glory. Lord most high
I’m gonna praise You with my life
I’m gonna follow You up to the sky
For you have given me new life
GRACE
w/m Bill Itzel 3/29/01
I see those living in worldly pleasures and I’m so quick to condemn
As though I was better and somehow owed more than these “lesser” men
Then I think of the grace that was shown to me when Jesus took my place
For if I deserved or merited favor, then surely, it wouldn’t be grace
Chorus
It wouldn’t be grace, It wouldn’t be grace
If we could save ourselves it wouldn’t be grace
But through the blood of Christ alone our sins have been erased
And if we had a part in it, then surely, it wouldn’t be grace
In pride I looked down on those I believed needed to be reconciled
For I didn’t do the things that they did, I never was that wild
Compared to the world, I really looked good, but I had become a fraud
For the truth of God’s light shined, and I saw, how far I had drifted from God
Chorus
We all must beware the pitfalls of life for none of us are immune
To losing our fire and our first love, and living our lives out of tune
So let’s daily take stock of how we walk, and humbly seek His face
For if we could make it on our own, then surely it wouldn’t be grace
Chorus
FORGIVEN
w/m Karen Itzel
A thief condemned
Unworthy to live
He hung before the crowd
And prepared himself to die
Then a voice was heard
Offering forgiveness
“Today you will be with me in paradise”
Chorus
I’m forgiven, forgiven, forgiven of my sins
He’s forgiven and forgotten the way I used to live
Jesus opened up the way to God by breaking down the wall
That had separated man from God since Adam’s fall
A slave of sin
Unworthy to live
I stand before a holy God
The righteous Judge
Then I hear His voice
Saying I’m forgiven
For the ransom’s paid
I’m covered by the blood
FOR BETTER OR WORSE
w/m Karen Itzel
We don’t always see eye to eye
But I promise to always be true
To the vows that we made
As we stood there that day
I said, “I’ll always love you”
Chorus
And for better or worse I will love you
The promise is still the same
And with each circumstance
Comes one more chance
For love to grow or just fade away
But for better or worse I will love you
And with each passing day
I will hold on to
My promise to you
And I will love you, for better or worse
The road that we face is not always easy
But I know we will make it through
The good times and bad
Some happy, some sad
When we look back we’ll see how love grew
Chorus
For better or worse
YOUR LOVE WAS WORTH THE WAIT
w/m Bill Itzel 7/7/01
Your kisses mean so much more today
For your love was treasured, not given away
We made a pact to wait in the past
Now our love has the strength to last
It wasn’t easy but we made it through to the day
Now all I can say is…
CHORUS
You were worth waiting for
It was one time when less turned out to be more
And now I can see from where I stand today
That your love was worth the wait
yes, your love was worth the wait
You earned my respect by respecting yourself
You guarded your heart, kept it on the shelf
You lived your life in a way that was wise
Now I see the purity in your eyes
It wasn’t easy but we made it through to the day
Now all I can say is…
CHORUS
In this world where lies abound
And people throw their love around
And hearts come crashing to the ground
Chorus
Chorus
