The Lukewarm
Bm7
How do we heat up the hearts of the lukewarm?
F#9
How do we light up the hearts of the lukewarm -
Bm7
So they're not spit out of Jesus' mouth
Em7
And it's not better they were never born -
Bm7 F#9 Bm7
How do we light up the hearts of the lukewarm?
Bm7
Only Jesus can light up the hearts of the lukewarm,
F#9
And Jesus will heat up the hearts of His lukewarm.
Bm7
So sing His praises to their hearts
Em7
And try to explain the hardest parts -
Bm7 F#9 Bm7
Shine your brightest light for the coming storm.
Bm7
Light up that narrow gate for the coming storm.
F#9
Light that obstructed gate for the coming storm.
Bm7
Shine as bright as you've got to give
Em7
To help God's children forever live!
Bm7 F#9 Bm7
Light that narrow obstructed gate for the coming storm.
Bm7
How do we heat up the hearts of the lukewarm?
F#9
Jesus will light up the hearts of His lukewarm.
Bm7
So sing His praises to their hearts
Em7
And try to explain the hardest parts -
Bm7 F#9 BMaj7
Shine your brightest light for the coming storm.

What it is you gain or lose--
G7 D9 G7
And whether it's the former, or the latter.
G7 C9 G7 G37 G7
It's not about your height, or your clothes, or even your shoes!
C9 G9
It's not about your money, or your looks, or the brains that you use.
D9 Db9 C9
Those things of today will quickly pass away,
G7 C9 G7 D9
And then only your spirit's going to stay.
G7
'Cause when your body's through--
C9
No longer any use to you--
G7
That's when your spirit's going to be
D9
Born into eternity!
Db9 C9
Then you'll taste the pleasure
G7
Of the fruits of your eternal treasure--
C9
Where your choices really mattered
C#9 D9 G7
To the former or the latter.
G7 C9 G7
"Cause what you choose is what matters.
C9 G7
It's what you choose that is what matters.
D9 Db9
It's your spirit that lets you choose
C9
What it is you gain or lose,
G7 D9 G7
And whether it's the former, or the latter.

But you'd better not delay

And you'll face your judgement day.

He Came for Us
(an Easter song)
G
He came for us
Em
The Word as God's begotten son;
C
He lived with us
Am
To teach us how Love should be done;
Fmaj7
He died for us
Em
To save us from the evil one,
C
Then He rose for us
D7
A victory over death that cannot be undone!
G
Jesus lives in us
Em
To share God's Spirit with everyone;
C
Jesus loved us
Am
Before the world had begun;
Fmaj7
Jesus gives to us
Em
Forgiveness when we cannot run;
Fmaj7
Jesus came for me
Am D7
To pay the price for what I have done.
G Am
(He came for us. To pay the price.)
repeat and fade to end
