Dion - I Put Away My Idols

1 Here Is my Servant

2 Trust In The Lord

Trust in the Lord with all of your heart

Lean not on your own understanding

Acknowledge the Lord in all of your ways

He will make your path straight

Repeat Chorus

He will make your path straight

Yes He will

Jonah got along in the belly of the whale

Daniel in the lion's den

I know a man who lived on faith

Till the very end

Now the Good Book says without faith

It is impossible to please God

Because anyone who comes to Him

Must believe

Repeat Chorus

He will make your path straight

Yes He will

Against all hope Father Abraham

Did hope and did believe

God calls things that are not

As though they were

Now, God said He did not believe it

And that's good enough for me

We who walk by faith and not by

What we see

Repeat Chorus

Yes He will

He will make your path straight

Bridge:

Faith is being sure of what we hope for

And it is certain of what we do not see

Faith it surely comes by hearing

The Word of God, you see, yeah

Repeat Chorus

He will make your path straight

3 Day Of The Lord

And melts them down into tears

Takes a child's little soul

And fills it full of fear

And painful memories

But this world and its ways shall not last

For it is written so

There will come a day

Of love forevermore of hope and faith

Chorus:

And we'll walk with the angels

In the day of the Lord

And shed no more tears

No more in the day of the Lord

And we will see Jesus

In the day of the Lord

We will be like Him, alive forever (more)

Just when the night is dark

At its worst, then the sun will be seen

Bursting through the clouds of rain

To light our every dreams of those who waited

Who've waited for the One

Who is love, who is faithful and true

To answer every little prayer

Offered by me and you, we'll see Him then

Chorus

You ask, "Where is He now?"

"Must I wait till then to know Him?"

No, He's standing by your side

Waiting to be your friend

So take His hand

Chorus

We will be like Him

Alive for evermore

4 I Put Away My Idols

I took control, I was cool

I made the rounds, made the record hops

I hit the top, played the fool

Chorus:

From above I truly heard a Friend

Truly now you must be born again

I put away my idols

I stripped away all the titles

Money, wrinkles and things do decay

I put away my idols

I was living by my horoscope

Taking pills to cope with my pain

Rock 'n roll was my identity

My whole security, I made a name

Chorus

Looking back over my years

My story did unfold

I worshipped people and their gifts

Not the Gift-Giver at all

But you see, the people they've come and gone

But life in Him goes on and on

He's given me a brand new song

To sing

Chorus 2:

I put away my idols

I stripped away all the titles

Money, wrinkles and things do decay

I put away my idols

Musical interlude

Chorus 3:

Truly now you must be born again

Truly that's the way you will begin

You put away your idols

I stripped away the titles

Money wrinkles, things do decay

I put away my idols

Cadillacs end up in the junkyard

I put away my idols

5 Daddy

'Bout Your Kingdom and Your glory?

Of that time long ago and

All those people You know so well

You know, Dad, I like the one

'Bout the children

Who were lost in that wilderness

And how they learned to trust You

How You guided them through the

Promised Land

Chorus:

Will You tell me again 'bout that reason

For everything You've done?

Would You call me Your son?

Daddy tell me 'bout that shepherd boy

And how You would not let

Your people be destroyed

How that giant was slain

With faith in Your Name on that day

I like the part where the boy became king

And he taught the people how to praise and sing

All those songs about you

And how You carried them through the dark

Chorus

Bridge:

'Cause Daddy I long to be

Held in Your security

Bound in Your loving arms for all time

And Daddy I want to be

By Your side eternally

Bound in Your loving arms for all time

I know it's getting late, Dad

But could you just tell me one more story?

I'd really like to hear the one

About the baby Jesus

Tell me again 'bout the manger

The child that came as a stranger

And how He grew up to be

The One to set free the world

Tell me all about the things He did

Healing the sick and loving little kids

How he died on the cross

For the sins of the lost in the world

Chorus 2:

Will you tell me again 'bout that reason

For everything You've done?

Was it for me, Dad?

Is that why You gave Your only Son?

Oh, Dad, I love You too

Chorus 3:

Will You tell me again 'bout that reason

For everything You've done

And Daddy I need to be

Found in Your security

Held in Your loving arms for all time

Daddy please tell me a story

Forever and ever X 2

6 Very Soon

You don't know this is it

This IS it!

Anticipation

Very soon

He is coming back for us

It could be very soon

Yes He is

Very soon

He wants the world to know

That He's got plenty of room

Yes He has

His grace has made it all come true

Yes it has

Freedom from sin in this world

For me and you

And there ain't no chance to keep us down

No, no

And when the Master comes

We won't be hanging around

We'll hear the sound of the trumpet

Everywhere, yeah

We'll be caught up in the clouds

To meet Him in the air

Very soon

He is coming back for us

It could be very soon

Hallelujah, huh, exciting

I'm ready and waiting

Get ready, very soon

He said we'd never have to die

That's what He said

He said our bodies will be changed

In the twinkling of an eye

Come and behold the mystery

Sin and this thing called death

Is swallowed up in victory

Hallelujah

I hear the sound of the trumpets

Everywhere

I will be caught up in the clouds

And meet Him in the air, air

Very soon

He wants the world to know

That He's got plenty of room

These words are always on my mind

Yes they are

Jesus is coming

It could be any time, any time now

Very soon, very soon, yes I will

I keep falling in love with Him

Over and over and over again

I keep falling in love, very soon

Over and over and over again

I'll be ready and waiting

Yes I will, very soon

These words are always on my mind

Jesus is coming

It could be any time

7 They Won't Tell You

Glad to tune you in

The Days Of Our Lives

Are planned right to the end

Oh you're morning examine

You'll catch the Price Is Right

You'll make the romance

You'll find on the air tonight

And we'll take a pause

To tell you what you need

Get through the Days Of Our Lives

To succeed

A pill for pain

Some soap to clean you up

A brand new car

Some coffee to fill your cup

Chorus:

But they won't tell you

What you need to know

They won't tell you

Jesus paid the price

To free your soul

Jesus freed you

TV keeps you strung out

On the pleasures of the world

While the radio keeps you

Hooked on the rock 'n roll

I tell you

Now, don't make no sense at all

But it's been that way

Ever since the fall

The powers of darkness

Trying to do you in

Driving you deeper

And deeper into your sin

Now it's time to turn

On the evening news

But I'd rather hear

Muddy Waters singing blues

You gotta keep up

To know what's going down

Who's winning and losing

Which side's gaining ground

A little…..

Will turn on some comic relief

Huh! Something funny

To make you show your teeth

A Fantasy Island

To help you get away

A celebrity show

To see what they've got to say

But you won't find it on

The Johnny Carson show

They won't tell you

And Norman Lee

Won't put you in the know

Jesus freed you

Archie Bunker

He will say goodbye

When the season ends

But Jesus will always be your Friend

I tell you

There's just one way to go

Turn on your life

Turn off the picture show

Stand in the love

And the light of reality

Accept Him as Lord

And He will set you free

But you won't find it

In the People Magazine

They won't tell you

The truth, the life

The One who makes you clean

Jesus frees you

Charlie's Angels

Cannot save you

From the darkness in this world

And Barnaby Jones

He cannot fill you in

I tell you

Chorus

TV keeps you strung out

On the pleasures of this world

While the radio keeps you

Hooked on the rock 'n roll

Yeah, they won't tell you

They won't tell you

What you need to know

Jesus freed you

What you need to know

They won't tell you

They won't tell you, no

You won't hear

Jesus freed you

8 Healing

In their faces you see despair

And emptiness, I see restlessness

I see them in the drugstore lines

They spend their money

And hope to find

A remedy for their anxiety

They read the newsstand psychology

They look for peace but they do not see

The simple truth

That frees us from our pain

Chorus:

Healing is faith and it's prayer

It's knowing that He's always there

Healing is light in the dark

It's knowing His forgiveness in your heart

Healing is hope and it's dreams

And through Jesus you can see

That healing's just another word for love

I love the doctors in the AMA

I'm glad that people get help that way

But they're deceived

I know that God is peace

But I have learned what love can do

Seen bodies healed through and through

Their minds are set free from anxiety

Yes, there's a hurt

That the X-rays don't show

There's a cure

That the doctors don't know

There's a God who loves you and me

Chorus

I have seen life's mystery

In this man from Galilee

Who died for us to gain our trust

Through His eyes I've comes to see

The one and true reality

Of love and grace

In this world I face

I know there's hope

For the sick and the lame

I've seen them healed

At the mention of His name

I've seen the power of His love

For you and me

Chorus

Thank you, Jesus

9 Give It Up and Surrender

Satan said you can eat of a tree

The fruit will open up your eyes

Eve said that looks good to me

I want to be wise

That is how all the trouble began

As a matter of pride

Man just had to have it his way

And now he's got to run and hide

Chorus:

Oh, give it up and surrender

Oh, give it up, give it up and be free

Let that pride go and give up to God

And repent of that tree

Yeah, God sent the Lord to help us along

So that we might understand

Just exactly how to know right from wrong

And the weakness in man

Oh, but still we turn our backs

And run from it all

As a matter of pride

And when we do we stumble and fall

Now this could be a long hard ride

Chorus:

First 3 lines

Give it up X 4

Be free

Let it go

And now we get to the back of the Book

As we wrong God and patience to the end

But still He's just

And He's true to His Word

His only Son He did send

Oh, but still we go against

The will of the Lord

In so much that we do

But still His love

And His mercy does afford

Salvation for me and you

I said

Chorus X 2

Oh, give it up and surrender

Give it up X 4

Be free, and be free

10 My Prayer For You

And in your heart may He receive the praise

This is my prayer for you

And despite how simple it may sound

I pray that His grace will abound

This is my prayer for you

When my Master returns

I'm going to be ready, people

Going to be ready now

When my King returns

I want to walk with Him

I'm going to talk with Him

Oh, wake up, poor sleepy eyes
