Turn Off The Lesser Lights

1000 Generations Turn Off The Lesser Lights Lyrics
1.Invocation

This is a call to those who seek You,
This is a call to love

This is a call to those who seek You,
This is a call to love

We who greet You this is our invocation,
This is a call to love
Come and fill Your house, come and fill this place
We love You Lord, we love You Lord,
We sing and shout aloud, cause You are here!
We love You Lord, we love You Lord,
Our hearts are bursting out, as You draw near,
We welcome You here!

Light is like this, it completely expels darkness,
Your kingdom is breaking through
With billions of illumines,
the gates of hell are broken,
Your kingdom is breaking through!
Come and fill Your house, come and fill this place
We love You Lord, we love You Lord,
We sing and shout aloud, cause You are here!
We love You Lord, we love You Lord,
Our hearts are bursting out, as You draw near,
Joy is overflowing, praise is growing,
Like a tidal wave cause You are here, You are here
Hearts are strangely glowing, there's a knowing,
In the atmosphere that You are here!
We welcome You here

We love You, God You know we love You,
And we want You, hear us say we want You
We love You, God You know we love You,
And we want You, hear us say we want You
We love You, God You know we love You,
And we want You, hear us say we want You
We love You, God You know we love You,
And we want You, hear us say we want You


2.Fascinated

I am still fascinated,
I am still captivated with adoration for You,
And my heart's in Your hands
I am still blown away,
I am still so amazed at the price
You had to pay for me
Oh I'll never understand
God I am fascinated

You wear a crown of stars,
Light is wherever You are,
And from You the darkness hides

You breathe in and out the wind,
Angels robe You in ancient hymns,
Still I am on Your mind

The stars call out Your name,
But You hear my words just the same
I am still fascinated,
I am still captivated with adoration for You,
And my heart's in Your hands
I am still blown away,
I am still so amazed at the price
You had to pay for me
Oh I'll never understand
God I am fascinated

In You are songs unheard,
Where poets and priests fall short of words,
You are a mystery

You wrapped Yourself in flesh,
Came down into our brokenness,
And traded it all for me
When the stars call out Your name
I am still fascinated,
I am still captivated with adoration for You,
And my heart's in Your hands
I am still blown away,
I am still so amazed at the price
You had to pay for me
Oh I'll never understand
God I am fascinated

I am fascinated
I am fascinated
I am fascinated


3.Fail Us Not

Failure doesn't phase You, worry doesn't win,
Loss doesn't leave You afraid to start again,
Our sin doesn't shock You,
Our shame doesn't shame You at all

Mistakes do not move You, terror doesn't tame,
Death doesn't doom You to life in the grave,
Our suffering doesn't scare You,
Our secrets won't surprise You at all
at all

There is nothing above You,
There is nothing beyond You,
There is nothing that You can't do
There is no one beside You,
There is no one that's like You,
There is nothing that You can't do
Whatever will come, we'll rise above,
You fail us not, You fail us not,
No matter the war, our hope is secure,
You fail us not, You fail us not,
You fail us not

Hatred doesn't hide You, evil doesn't ail,
Despair can't disguise You
and tell You that You've failed,
Our doubt doesn't daunt You,
Our darkness won't defeat You at all
at all
There is nothing above You,
There is nothing beyond You,
There is nothing that You can't do
Whatever will come, we'll rise above,
You fail us not, You fail us not,
No matter the war, our hope is secure,
You fail us not, You fail us not,
Whatever will come, we'll rise above,
You fail us not, You fail us not,
You fail us not, You fail us not,
You fail us not, You fail us not,
You fail us not

You are bigger than the battle,
You are bigger than the battle,
You are bigger than the battle has ever been

You are bigger than the battle,
You are bigger than the battle,
You are bigger than the battle has ever been
Whatever will come, we'll rise above,
You fail us not, You fail us not,
No matter the war, our hope is secure,
You fail us not, You fail us not,
Whatever will come, we'll rise above,
You fail us not, You fail us not,
You fail us not, You fail us not,
You fail us not, You fail us not,
You fail us not


4.Not Of Our Hands

Let this be not of our hands
But by Your Spirit
Let this be not of our hands
But by Your Spirit

Lord, we don't want to move without You
No we don't want to work in vain

Lord, You know we want to be used by You
But we don't want anything built in our strength

We don't want to move,
Don't want to move without You
We don't want to move,
We don't want to move without You

Let this be not of our hands
But by Your Spirit
Let this be not of our hands
But by Your Spirit
We don't want to move,
Don't want to move without You
We don't want to move,
Don't want to move without You

Lord, You know we don't want to go before You
No we don't want to keep running
And Lord we pray that we will stay found in You
For without You, we cannot do anything

We don't want to move, don't want to move
Don't want to move without You
Let this be not of our hands
But by Your Spirit
Let this be not of our hands
But by Your Spirit
We don't want to move,
Don't want to move without You
We don't want to move,
Don't want to move without You
It's not by power, not by strength
But through Your Spirit and by Your grace
If it's on our hearts, will be on our face
Let this be not of our hands
But by Your Spirit
Let this be not of our hands
But by Your Spirit
Let this be not of our hands
But by Your Spirit
Let this be not of our hands
But by Your Spirit
Let this be not of our hands
But by Your Spirit
Let this be not of our hands
But by Your Spirit
Let this be not of our hands
But by Your Spirit
Let this be not of our hands
But by Your Spirit


5.How Big Small Can Be

My hands cannot hold the world,
But they can help someone in need
My cash could never end hunger,
But it'll help someone to eat

It may seem insignificant but lately,
I think that we are prone to forget

Just how big small can be
It doesn't have to be all or nothing
How big does small have to be
For us to do something?
And find how big small can be

A fire starts with a single flame,
It's not hard to see its attribution
A storm comes with just one drop of rain,
And it only takes one man to start a revolution

So if it seems insignificant then maybe,
It's just that we are prone to forget

Just how big small can be
It doesn't have to be all or nothing
How big does small have to be
For us to do something?
And find how big small can be

What if one person changes one person,
Is that worth the time?

What if one difference
Makes all the difference,
And we start to find
Just how big small can be
It doesn't have to be all or nothing
How big does small have to be
For us to do something?

Looking you see
Just how big small can be


6.Bring Me Down

I've made it through each day
With just enough strength not to change
There is no life in survival mode
A tree's roots can only grow
When they're exposed to cold
You've brought a chill to my soul
Only your love would let me fall
Only your love would bring me down
And I've never been so low
But from the bottom, I see a way out
So bring me down
Bring me down
Bring me down

My strivings all collapsed
None of my plans came to pass
Grass just can't grow on an iceberg
The weeds will never stop
if you just crop the tops
You've got to dig down in the dirt
Only your love would let me fall
Only your love would bring me down
And I've never been so low
But from the bottom, I see a way out
So bring me down
Bring me down
Bring me down
Sometimes the only way up is down
Sometimes the only in is out
Sometimes the only thing left to do
Is give into the gravity that makes you
Low enough to see
Only your love would let me fall
Only your love would bring me down
And I've never been so low
But from the bottom, I see a way out

So bring me down
Bring me down
Bring me down


7.Collide

You were bruised like a reed for me
Crushed like a wrecking ball, wrecking debris
Injustice as plain as could be
The violence of love as it hung on a tree
for me

The love of the Father so deep
We were His purchase, His death the receipt
Triumphing hell through defeat
The work of redemption through Jesus complete
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Let heaven and earth collide in praise
Let hearts be broke open as love's amplified
Let angels and men sing of how they're amazed
That God would come down from the sky
To take up our death with His Life
Let us collide

He's filled us with so great a prize
For the power of His Kingdom in us now abides
The Advocate is living inside
Let all who have voice raise this joyous reply:
Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Let heaven and earth collide in praise
Let hearts be broke open as love's amplified
Let angels and men sing of how they're amazed
That God would come down from the sky
To take up our death with His Life
Let us collide

Like a kamikaze, You spent Yourself for love
Like a kamikaze, You gave Yourself for us

Let heaven and earth collide in praise
Let hearts be broke open as love's amplified
Let angels and men sing of how they're amazed
That God would come down from the sky
Let us collide in praise
Let hearts be broke open as love's amplified
Let angels and men sing of how they're amazed
That God would come down from the sky
To take up our death with His Life
Let us collide
Let us collide

Let us collide


8.Do You Know This Man

He called His friends together for dinner one last time
He said, one of you will betray me,
and that of which is not mine
So before they ate, He told this certain guest that
He could be excused
And while the rest of them prayed, an offer was made
That just could not be refused

When He broke the bread,
He said, this is my body,
which has been given up for you
And when He poured the wine,
He said, this is the divine Blood of Life
that's everlasting and new
Then after the feast,
when man sleeps cause the flesh is weak,
He said, rise, my betrayer's at hand
And the soldiers came and took Him away,
just like it was planned

Do you know this Man?
Do you know this Man?
Have you let in the love that poured from His hands?
Do you know this Man?
Do you know this Man?

When they beat Him,
He stood alone, even His friends had fled
Cause they feared for their lives,
they even told lies
We don't know that guy, they said
And when they took Him to the judge and he announced,
He's done no wrong to condemn,
The people, they yelled and threatened to rebel
Only His life would silence them
Do you know this Man?
Do you know this Man?
Have you let in the love that poured from His hands?
Do you know this Man?
Do you know this Man?

They tore off His clothes, whipped Him to the bone,
And beat a thorn crown in His head
Then they took this Man, drove nails in His hands,
And with one last breath He cried
But the only reason that He died
Was for our lies, our greed, our egos that we feed,
Our mouths, our sex, our pride and complex,
Our rage, our hate, to forgive and consecrate,
The Ultimate Price was paid,
But it's never too late

Do you know this Man?
Do you know this Man?
Have you let in the love that poured from His hands?
Do you know this Man?
Do you know, do you know this Man?


9.What Only You Can Do

It's 2AM inside,
these anxious thoughts of mine, and
Notions of peace, are elusive as sleep,
Cause fear no longer hides
My world's coming apart,
despite this desperate heart, that'd
Do anything to somehow bring,
A light into this dark
There's not much I have not yet tried,
And time is running out
God, would You do what only You can do?
There's nothing left to give,
still everything's to lose
God would You do, God would You do
What only You can do?

Despair unravels hope,
till only threads remain, and I
Shake in my skin cause what would happen,
If these tiny threads should break?
But faith calls out to me,
beyond what I can see, and
Stitches up seams of things believed,
That are not yet to be
With all else gone, I'm holding on,
To what is holding me
God would You do what only You can do?
When nothing can be done,
it's nothing new to You
God would You do what only You can do?
When nothing can be done,
it's nothing new to You
God would You do, God would You do
What only You can do?
Only You could plant the oceans,
And only You could part the seas,
Only You could form the mountains,
And move this one for me

God would You do what only You can do?
When nothing can be done,
it's nothing new to You
God would You do, God would You do
God would You do what only You can do?

But by the power of Your name
We're the saints of our Redeemer,
The saints of our Redeemer,
Loved by a fathomless love,
Nothing can separate us

11.Mansions In Floodplains

She wakes up from her suburban slumber,
And makes her bed in all her teenage tragedies,
She thinks she lives outside the box,
But the world goes on beyond her block,
This is not the end of all there is to be

He may think he's got the world all figured out,
And he may sit right in the lap of luxury,
But when the tides come rolling in,
The crowns that sink won't help him swim,
This is not the end of all there is to be

We're building mansions in floodplains,
And climbing ladders that just lead to the ceiling,
We're running races that will never have endings,
Then where will we go? Where will we go?
So dig out all the hooks that drag you down,
And turn off all the lesser lights so you can see,
That there is life beyond the lines
Inside the mystery that defines,
This is not the end of all there is to be,
This is not the end of all there is to be

Don't you want to live for something more?
Don't you want to live for something more?
Don't you want to live for something more than yourself?
Don't you want to live for something more?
Don't you want to live for something more?
Don't you want to live for something more than yourself?
Don't you want to live for something more?
Don't you want to live for something more?
Don't you want to live for something more than yourself?

So dig out all the hooks that drag you down,
And turn off all the lesser lights so you can see,
That there is life beyond the lines
Inside the mystery that defines,
This is not the end of all there is to be
