Stone Cold

Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;  - Eph. 5:25

Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. - Rev. 2:4 – 5

He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: - Eph. 5:28 – 29

And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. – Matt. 24:12 – 13

As I look at you tonight
In the moons ghostly light
I sense that there is something very wrong.
I can see it in your eyes,
You have seen through my disguise.
The precious love we shared is all but gone.
Somehow things had become slanted
And I'd taken you for granted,
Never thinking I was breaking us in two.
Can I ever stop the hurtin’?
Have we reached the final curtain?
Can we piece it back together?
Are we through?

Is it cold? (Stone cold!)
Has our love really ended?
Is it cold? (Stone cold!)
Please say it can be mended!
Loves fiery flame has dwindled.
Can it ever be rekindled?
Or is it cold? (Is it cold?)
Stone cold?

On the day that we were wed
I remember what we said,
How we'd love and serve each other till we died.
Now it seems so long ago.
Somehow I grew cold in my soul
And turned that cherished vow into a lie.
But my wandering days are through.
And my heart's come back to you.
The deadman who had left is now alive.
Those other loves are gone!  They're over!
Can you just forgive this rover?
Can we make loves embers fly up to the sky?

Or are they cold? (Stone cold!)
Has our love really ended?
Is it cold? (Stone cold!)
Please say it can be mended!
It seems I threw our love away.
Is there nothing else to say?
Is it cold? (Is it cold?)
Stone cold?

Stone cold! (Stone cold!)
Has our love really ended?
Is it cold? (Stone cold!)
Can our love ever be mended?
Please don't say that we are through
'Cause I'm still in love with you!
So don't be cold! (Stone cold!)
Stone cold!

Stone cold? (Stone cold!)
Can we start again together?
Stone cold? (Stone cold!)
When we vowed it meant forever!
Have we reached the final end?
Will we ever love again?
Or is it cold? (Is it cold?)
Stone cold?

Stone cold? (Stone cold!)
Can we start again together?
Stone cold? (Stone cold!)
When we vowed it meant forever!
Stone cold? (Stone cold!)
Can we start again together?
Stone cold? (Stone cold!)
When we vowed it meant forever!

One Fine Day

"Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." - Matthew 5:14 - 16

There's a call that's gone across the land

Only heard in the heart of man.

But that call, for some I fear,

Will be falling on deaf ears. 

One fine day we'll see His glory!

One fine day we'll leave this place!

One fine day we're crossing over

And we'll see Him face to face! 

What do you say to the broken hearted?

What do you say to those so dear?

Do the hungry ones hear your silence?

Or is your message lived out loud and clear? 

'Cause one sad day they'll see his glory!

One sad day they'll leave this place!

One sad day they're crossing over

But will He know them when He sees them face to face?

Or will you tell them of His saving grace? 

Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness

And for His wonderful works to the children of men!

For He satisfies their longing souls,

And fills their hungering souls with goodness

Again and again and again and again! 

One fine day we'll see His glory!

One fine day we'll leave this place!

One fine day we're crossing over

And we'll see Him face to face!

Will He know them when He sees them face to face? 

Will you tell them of His amazing grace?
