For The Glory

The O.C. Supertones For The Glory Lyrics
1.Hey Hey Hey

I feel so high and I want to tell the world why
until the glory of the Lord goes world wide
and every person on the earth opens their eyes wide
and hymns ring from every valley plain and hillside
I'm alive I'm alive you know that I'm set free
and my eyes get clearer every day
I was blind I was blind I was blind but now I see
and when my heart is gripped with fear
he says son why don't you look up here
when I hear those words well I feel scared to death
short of breath but it makes me want to say
enough about me I wanna know how you're doin now
are there some tough times you're goin through now
been where you are and I want you to know
there's a love that won't let you go
that neither life, nor death, nor height, nor depth, no angel,
no man,
can take you from His hand


2.All the Way Alive

Well I'm so old school that I'm fresh again
come check my stats I'm a rude boy veteran
the time has come to release some adrenaline
a Supertone in every bone of my skeleton
a young gentleman from the tribe of Benjamin
here to enhance your spiritual regimen
I want to get you reconnected with the genuine
specimen come and take the soul medicine


We do it for the love we do it for the Lord
We do it for the people cuz they want some more
We do it for the fame, of the Most High
So come on inside and get all the way alive!


a 180 beats is where I do my poetry
guerrilla radio we highjacked the frequency
escape from hell like Dte Allghieri
and reach paradise in this divine comedy
God's people gotta raise their hands in victory
because the Most High's hand moves history
and one day He's gonna erase the boundary
between the earth and the realm of the heavenly

This beat is rude you should ask for an apology
so underground its like studying geology
I grip the mic while I'm teaching you theology
I'm gonna speak it till you the sing the doxology
now stop a minute people pay attention to your pastor
ladies and gentlemen now kindly stop your jibber jabber
its not the end its just the finish of another chapter
and when it's over we'll be living happily ever after


3.For the Glory

I don't care if you ever hear this
And every cheering voice goes silent
I don't care for the words of critics
So man just save your judgements

I believe in a God that's listening
I believe in a truth worth telling
I believe that the stars are singing
We only want to join in

And what I thought important
It doesn't seem to matter
Our purpose, our mission
Is to say that...

This is for the glory of God (whoa whoa whoa)
This is for the risen king (whoa whoa whoa)
Who conquered death and hell (whoa)
That's a story we must tell
This is for the glory

Man I don't know the future
I've never been a prophet
But one thing I can tell you
Is this microphone's a pulpit

And I'll speak it till I'm breahless
When no one sees I'll praise him
Thy kingdom power glory
Will ever be my anthem

And what I thought important
It doesn't seem to matter
Our purpose, our mission
Is to say that...

This is for the glory of God (whoa whoa whoa)
This is for the risen king (whoa whoa whoa)
Who conquered death and hell (whoa)
That's a story we must tell
This is for the glory

And what I thought important
It doesn't seem to matter
Our purpose, our mission
Is to say that...

This is for the glory of God (whoa whoa whoa)
This is for the risen king (whoa whoa whoa)

This is for the glory of God (whoa whoa whoa)
This is for the risen king (whoa whoa whoa)
Who conquered death and hell (whoa)
That's a story we must tell
Who conquered death and hell (whoa)
That's a story we must tell
This is for the glory


4.Far More Beautiful

my little sister
I want to tell you
I want to show you
what you're really worth
in the beginning when you were first made
when you were first formed
before your birth
the sea and the sky were not enough
the flowers bloom was not enough
the mountains reaching to the sky were not enough

you're beautiful far more beautiful
than anything the world will ever know
keep you're eyes on the King
cherish all of your tomorrows
daughter don't grow up too fast
let your youth last
because soon its gone
daughter you're far too precious
to waste your priceless kiss on just anyone
the Lord has made you sweet and wild
you are heaven's little child
you're the one whose face has a launched a thousand smiles

mother, you're still a pretty girl
your arms surround the world with your embrace
mother I see your wisdom
your tears and laughter
in the lines on your lovely face
and your children one by one, will rise up and call you
blessed
and all heaven will applaud as you enter to your rest


5.Down to the River

come down to the river
walk down to the shore
living water to quench
your thirsty soul
come drink from the water
thirst no more

Jesus said lay your burden down
if you're tired of carrying it around
sing a new song your back unbowed
sing a new song sing it out loud
come on and hear God's people sing redemption songs
and lift your voice and sing along
sing a new song stand up proud
sing a new song sing it out loud

for the weighed down struggling and burdened
the tired out and hurting it's time to put it down
when life feels like it's getting too tough
like you carry too much come drop it on the sacred ground

Jesus says that his burden's light
and He's gonna make everything alright,
sing a new song your back unbowed
sing a new song sing it out loud
come on and hear God's people sing a song of praise
come sit at His feet and learn his ways
sing a new song stand up proud
sing a new song sing it out loud

for the empty withered up and hollow
to the outcast He calls you to follow
to the lost and confused, the user and the used
the rejects and the losers God is calling out to you


6.All Glory

all around the world every time its told
the story always sounds like this
the powerful will use that power to kill
the poor are used up by the rich
the righteous in chains and the innocent slain
all for the wicked man's gain
and the fool believes that God cannot see
he has no fear of His name

all the world will lift its eyes
the time will come, our God will rise!
all glory, all power, hallelujah
a day will come and God will fight
and all the wrongs will be made right!
all glory all power hallelujah

the rebel's gun and the tyrant's tank
are gonna be fuel for the flame
and sweet relief for those who grieve
when the day of the Lord is proclaimed
and without a shot shot, or a single bomb dropped
the killing machine will forever stop
there'll be no more war when the Prince of Peace
tells all of the world His name

unto our God, we lay it down
before the thrown, before the crown
to you oh God, we give ourselves
be lifted high, above all else


7.It's a Good Day to Be from California

way out west where I come from
every single trunks got a sound system
on the 15 singin my anthem, California here I come
I remember sittin on the beach beneath the stars
singing to the Lord a hymn of praise on my guitar

Its a good day to be from California
shout three cheers for the golden state
It's a good day to be from California
I'm going back to Cali and I can't wait

there's where I got my first tattoo
that's the church where I heard the good news
there's the school where I used to go
that's where the tones played our first show
there's the beach where we would go for dawn patrol
we'd paddle out through the freezing waves as they would roll
and I'd float out on the ocean
it's like God pulled back the curtain

I wanna go back, by the train tracks,
in the soft sand and just sit back


8.Warmth of the Sun

winter was long
stuck in a never ending december
my heart turned cold
but when it did I cannot remember
I never really felt the chill
until the spring came back to me
a single day has broke its will
I finally feel that I am free

I feel your love in the warmth of the sun
spreading across my shoulders
I feel your love in the warmth of the sun
winter is finally over

I hear the song
pouring forth ever since the creation
the whole world long
everyday and night they've been singing
Your glory grows up from the earth
its in the blowing of the wind
its in the shining of the sun
that thaws the hardest hearts of men

so let the world pour forth its praise and
brother sun pour forth your rays through
sacred night and blessed day


9.On the Downbeat

you say you got your problems, well I got an idea
God is on your side so you bring em in here
and let love drive out your fear
front door kick it in let em know its dancing time
back door beat it down we don't want to wait in line
no rows no seats everybody on your feet
smash it up smash it up, meet me at the downbeat

we're on the downbeat!
get on the downbeat

this sound relieves stress, so the beat is medical
our purpose is to worship, so the beat is spiritual
tell me do you believe in miracles
we're bopping like a blitzkrieg piling in the backseat
party till we're fatigued, generating steam heat
no rows no seats everybody on your feet
smash it up smash it up
meet me at the downbeat


10.Fight On

Dawn brings another day, living in babylon
here I am the enemy so I battle on
and I'm tired of the struggle man, don't know how I'll take more
the only thing keeping me, is what I'm fighting for
cuz here in babylon you better watch your back
you never see your shooter till you hear the click clack
so I keep my eyes peeled and my faith in God
while I'm lookin out the window for the black bag squad

gotta fight on, till one last dawn

for one more night

alright, alright

twilight in Babylon, I wake with the setting sun
the revolution starts now, we will rise as one
we're at war but we CELEBRATE!! we wait for the Son of Man
I wait until midnight, then activate the plan
the trumpet will sound and the broad walls crack
then we hit the lights and the city goes black
there's no escape no escape at all on the day when babylon the
great will fall

every day its death or glory
every day they're searching for me
I'm a one man counter culture
burn it all down leave it for the vultures


11.Pretty Little Lie

I was just nineteen I had my first pocket full of some money
so I called up Sid and I got a tattoo on my arm
then I got a sound system for my 1970 Chevy
to get that old school knockin' like my trunk was settin off
bombs
it wasn't long before my money was gone

It was a pretty little lie

but it didn't satisfy

when I was 21, I was young I was dumb and successful
I had a new hit record and a pretty little thing on my arm
it was all I'd ever wanted I was ready to feel fantastic
but every single night when I would step on that stage and
perform
with every breath I felt emptiness

and now fast forward to my undeniable failure
I didn't have nothin but Jesus and a blue collar job
I was scared that everyone would think that I was a loser
but I never felt surer that I was in the presence of God
to my surprise I felt satisfied


12.The Wise and the Fool

who is the wise man?
he is the one who loves the law of God and treasures it away
he is a tree that's planted where a river flows
not so the foolish
he is the one who says there is no god but he does not
understand
that ruin waits along the path of every foolish man
The wise man or the fool, which one will you choose?

as for me, I will hear

as for my house, we draw near

as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord

Who is the righteous?
He is the one who walks the way of the Lord
who makes his footsteps sure
in the right hand of the Most High he will ever dwell secure
Not so the wicked
he is the one who says God does not see
what does the Most High know
he is a man who like chaff in the wind will blow
The wise man or the fool, which one will you choose?

as for me, I will hear

as for my house, we draw near

lift your ears, turn and hear, who and what your life is for

as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord
