A Man From Galilee
Copyright ©2017 by Dale Mayer, All rights reserved
This is the story about a man from Galilee
The things he said and did and what he’s done for me
--- verse1 ---
I heard about a man from Galilee
They say he is God’s Son but what is that to me
My life is mine to live
You know I don’t need no advice
If you tell me I need Jesus, well you’d better think it twice
He’s not the boss of me
I couldn’t possibly
Care less about a nobody from Galilee
But I kept hearing about him like he couldn’t be ignored
And then one day
--- verse2 ---
I heard him for myself
He was preaching on a hill
He said I was a sinner and I’d surely go to hell
I thought “my life, it ain’t that bad and I don’t need his assistance
But his words stuck in my craw and they chipped at my resistance
So I said to myself
He’s not the boss of me
I couldn’t possibly
Need to listen to a preacher man from Galilee
--- chorus1 ---
I said “Oh no”, I said “Oh no”
You can’t make me, I won’t go
I said “Oh no”
He’s not the boss of me
And I won’t bow my knee
To a self proclaimed Messiah man from Galilee
To my delight, It wasn’t long until this big mouth preacher man got himself into a real doozie of a mess
--- verse3 ---
Well they dragged him in to Pilate and they said that he should die
Even though I didn’t care I couldn’t help but wonder why
He offered no resistance and he opened not his mouth
As they hung him on a cross and his life was snuffed out
I shook my head and I said
He’s not the boss of me
He couldn’t possibly
Be the Savior that he said he was from Galilee
--- chorus2 ---
I said “Oh no”, I said “No, no, no”
You can’t make me, I won’t go
I said “Oh no”
He’s not the boss of me
And I won’t bow my knee
To this over rated charlatan from Galilee
I was glad that he was dead. He won’t bother me again
But something down inside me said to leave my life of sin.
Then I remembered something fantastic that he had promised
Something that would soon change everything…
--- verse4 ---
He said that if they killed him he would rise up from the dead
And if I’d put my trust in him, he’d do just what he said
To forgive me of my sins and give me a brand new life
When I saw the tomb was empty, then I knew that he was right
I made a decision that day…
Now he’s the boss of me
And I will bow my knee
To the resurrected preacher man from Galilee
--- chorus3 ---
I said “Oh yeah!”, I said “Yeah, yeah, yeah!”
Jesus rose up from the dead!
I said “Oh yeah!”
Now he’s the boss of me
And I will bow my knee
To the resurrected preacher man from Galilee

Since Love Came
Relentless, Tenacious, Persistent… LOVE!

There is a holy war being fought in the heavenlies
not against flesh and blood but against principalities
The prize to be won is not gold, our treasure is dying souls
We must follow where he leads us, lifting high the name of Jesus Christ
Holy Spirit come… Holy Spirit come…
Flood the atmosphere… Flood the atmosphere
Verse1
Open all the doors
Fill up every seat
Prepare your hearts for war
There’ll be no retreat!
We are in this all the way
Demon shackles fall away
Dark assignments will be broken as
The Word of Christ is spoken
Holy Spirit come, Holy Spirit come
Flood the atmosphere
Flood the atmosphere
Verse2
Satan you’re defeated
Turn your tail and run
You are not welcome here
Holy Spirit come
Permeate the air we breathe
Infiltrate the thoughts we think
Flow through us like living water
Perfect love from God the Father
Holy Spirit come, Holy Spirit come
Chorus
Holy Spirit, full of power
Make us bold to say it louder
Jesus Christ, the Son of God has come
Crucified, now raised, His Kingdom come
Draw each lost and lonely broken heart
Give each one a brand new start
Cure the sick, raise the dead,
heal the blind and lame
Let love come, we’ll never be the same…
We’ll never be the same…
Since love came… since love came
We’ll never be the same… since love came
Verse3
Knock on every door
Take it to the streets
Share the love of Jesus
With everyone you meet
Spread the message far and wide
Shout it from the mountainside
Let no captive be forsaken
Tear them from the grip of satan
Holy Spirit come, Holy Spirit come
REPEAT Chorus with tags

GET REAL (I Belong To You)
Copyright ©2016 by Dale Mayer, all rights reserved
This is real, this is now
We're gonna end the masquerade today somehow
Come with me and you'll see
You can pour your heart out on the Father's knee
He is good, he is kind and you're always on his mind
Lord, I belong to you
I lift up my song to you
You know what my heart's been through
And you care
No more promises I can't keep
Your grace is all sufficient for me
You whisper and say, "everything is okay",
'Cause I belong to You
This is real, this is the time
To leave the double life I'm living far behind
No more games, no more disquise
No more hiding from the truth behind a lie
There is mercy, there is grace, see the kindness in his face
Lord, I belong to you
I lift up my song to you
You know what my heart's been through
And you care
No more promises I can't keep
Your grace is all sufficient for me
You whisper and say, "everything is okay",
'Cause I belong to You
All our guilt, all our shame has been lifted in Jesus' name
Innocence lost, now is restored through his pain
One perfect life was the cost for the purity that we lost
Our debt being paid, from death he was raised
Now he's worthy of our praise
Lord, we belong to you
We lift up our song to you
Your heart is so faithful and true
You always care
All your promises you will keep
Your wonderful grace is all we need
You whisper and say, "everything is okay",
'Cause we belong to You
We belong to you, we belong to you Lord
We belong to you
Jesus we belong to you

BROKEN IS THE BREAD
Copyright ©2015 Dale J Mayer, all rights reserved
Crimson drops like wine
Though he knew no crime
Soon he would be dead
Broken is the bread
Hung upon a tree
It really should be me
But it was him instead
Broken is the bread
How could he bear my shame?
The agony, the pain?
"Forgive them all", he said
Broken is the bread!
Hewn from cold, hard stone
A tomb to be his home
Three days, the grave would say,
"This one, he won't decay!"
And it spewed him out
Yeah, it spewed him out
He's alive again without a doubt
Hallelujah, Christ is risen
Death defeated, sins forgiven
So eat the bread, drink the wine
Come partake of the Divine One
Rise up now from your grave
And live the new life that he gave you
Hallelujah, Christ is risen
Death defeated, I'm forgiven
Feel the presence of his glory
As you tell your gospel story
So eat the bread, drink the wine
Come partake of the Divine One
Rise up now from your grave
And live the new life that he gave you
Hallelujah, Christ is risen
Death defeated, I'm forgiven
Hallelujah, Christ is risen
Death defeated, I'm forgiven

HEAVEN
Copyright ©2015 Dale J Mayer, all rights reserved
I heard about heaven
in a Sunday school lesson
The story was told
all the streets are of gold
and they shine
O mon, they shine
Whoa..., see how they shine
Well I can't wait to get there
and breathe in the clean air
To gaze on the beauty
of the Lamb that was slain before time
Long before time
Whoa..., long before time
And the city needs no sun
nor moon to shine upon it
For the glory of God has come
bringing grace to everyone
See how they love him
bow and adore him
His train fills the temple
The saints all assemble before him
They gather before him
Whoa...., they gather before him
And the city needs no sun
nor moon to shine upon it
For the glory of God has come
bringing grace to everyone
And the nations will walk
in the light of his glory
The kings of the earth
lay their splendor before him
And there will be no more night
For the Lamb of God is it's light
Yes the nations will walk
in the light of his glory
The kings of the earth
lay their splendor before him
And there will be no more night
For the Lamb of God is it's light
And there will be no more night
For the Lamb of God is it's light!

When I think about your love
Your faithfulness to me
My heart beats a little faster
I want to be all I can be
I want to be your hands and feet
I want to be your eyes and ears
I want to be your word of promise
To a people filled with fear
I’ll sing your praises
And bless your name
I’ll tell of Jesus always the same
Of how you saved me
And how you raised me
And how you filled me
with your great love
Now I am free... to be
All I can be
[repeat from top]
There are times when I doubt Lord
I Just can’t seem to figure you out
Tragedy and pain
Take their toll on me again
But deep in my soul
I am sure that I know
That the love of my Savior
will never let me go…
I’ll sing your praises
And bless your name
I’ll tell of Jesus always the same
I’ll shout the news out to everyone
Tell them of all the things you have done
Of how you saved me
And how you raised me
And how you filled me
with your great love
Now I am free... to be
All I can be

Let The River Flow [Jn7:38]
Copyright © 2017 Dale J Mayer. All rights reserved.
Clap your hands, praise the Lord
Everyone in one accord
Don’t be shy; c’mon take a chance
Move your feet, now you can dance
A fountain deep inside of me
Can’t be contained, it must be freed
Release it, let it go;
Let the river flow, c’mon sing ‘n shout
Gotta tell the world what it’s all about
Tell ‘em Jesus lives, tell ’em Jesus saves
Tell ’em Jesus heals,
Tell ’em dead are raised
He bore my sin on Calvary
One sacrifice has set me free
Released me, let me go
Let the river flow
[repeat all]
I will be his hands, I will be his feet
I will be his voice to everyone I meet
How can they ever know?
Unless his love can flow
From the fountain in my soul… so
I will be a light, I will shine so bright
I will be a beacon in the dark of night
And I won’t be ashamed
to glorify his name
The message of the cross
I will proclaim
Let the river flow, c’mon sing ‘n shout
Gotta tell the world what it’s all about
Tell ‘em Jesus lives, tell ’em Jesus saves
Tell ’em Jesus heals,
Tell ’em dead are raised
A fountain deep inside of me
Can’t be contained, it must be freed
Release it, let it go; Let the river flow [3x]

Jesus In Me
Copyright ©2017 by Dale Mayer, All rights reserved
--- verse1 ---
Oh I want to see… the hand that leadeth me
That sooths and comforts me… day to day
And I want to know… the one that loved me so
That to a cross would go… in my place
And it humbles me to stand… in the presence of this man
--- chorus ---
You’re amazing, so amazing, more than amazing… You are
You’re amazing, simply amazing, the most amazing one… by far
And it’s amazing... that the suff’ring… of my King would heal my scars
And now His mercy covers me… hallelujah, I am free…
Such an amazing thing to see… Jesus in me!
--- verse2 ---
When I feel alone… chilled down to the bone
Like I’ve lost my way… I’m afraid
Then a still small voice… bids my soul rejoice
Time to sing a song… of praise
And so I stand and lift my hands… Son of God and son of man
From my heart I want to bring… this my grateful offering
--- chorus ---
You’re amazing, so amazing, more than amazing… You are
You’re amazing, simply amazing, the most amazing one… by far
And it’s amazing... that the suff’ring… of my King would heal my scars
And now His mercy covers me… hallelujah, I am free…
Such an amazing thing to see… Jesus in me!

I have walked through hopeless darkness
I have felt such pain and sadness
I have heard the cry of many
Grieved and vexed with none to pity
Open up your eyes
Let the Son arise
Jesus Crucified (mercy fills the darkness)
Everything you see, everything you need
I will proclaim truth and justice
I will tell that Jesus loves us
Many will hear and be forgiven
So to fill the streets of heaven
Open up your eyes
Let the Son arise
Jesus Crucified (mercy fills the darkness)
Everything you see, everything you need
Hey hey hey
Hey Jesus
Hey Hey
Hey hey hey
Hey Jesus
Hey Hey (mercy fills the darkness)
