Song Lyrics
02.20
There is Therefore
Written and adapted from Scripture by Dan Bagan
What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Oh precious is the flow, that makes me white as snow
No other fount I know, nothing but the blood of Jesus
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
There is therefore no condemnation (repeat)
CHORUS - There is therefore now no condemnation
For those who are in Christ Jesus
Oh, O, O, there is therefore now no condemnation
For those who are under the blood
(repeat)
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus
Has set us free from the law of sin and death
The sins we’ve confessed have been thrown by the Father
In the sea of forgetfulness
CHORUS
We are heirs of the Great I Am, washed in the blood of the Lamb
CHORUS
For those who are under the blood
For those who know that…
Oh precious is the flow, that makes me white as snow
No other fount I know, nothing but the blood of Jesus
Nothing but the blood of Jesus!

I Was Born To Praise You
By Dan Bagan
Who is born to praise you, my God?
And who is born to need you, oh Lord?
Who is born to love you, my God?
And who is born to honor you, Lord?
And who alone is worthy, to seek Your face?
And who may call on Your Amazing Grace?
I was born to praise You
I was born to need You
I was born to love You, Lord, with all my heart
Whoa, I was born to honor You
I was born to serve You
I was born to come to You, as a child of God
Even as I seek Your face
You will pour upon me all of Your Amazing Grace… A - men. (repeat)

Answer To Prayer
Words by Dan Bagan and Connie Smith Music by Dan Bagan
What if I told you, you were somebody’s answer to prayer?
Might sound crazy?
We look up to heaven, Ooo, when all around us
A miracle is standing right there
We are His hands, His feet, His eyes… oh yes we are
Chorus
When you hear a voice cry out, we need a hero
Where a teardrop falls, why can’t I go
And be the love of Christ so the world will know
That His light shines everywhere,
When we’re somebody’s answer to prayer
So what if I told you, that you were a blessing in disguise?
Might sound crazy?
We look in the mirror, and we tell ourselves,
Who am I ? Send somebody else
Cause I’ve got nothing left to give… Oh don’t believe it….
Chorus
Do it from the heart of Jesus, bringing heaven down to all.
Be a glimpse of His own glory
Let His final commandment be your greatest call
When you hear a voice cry out, we need a hero
Where a teardrop falls, why can’t we go
And be the love of Christ so the world will know
That His light shines everywhere,
When we’re somebody’s answer to prayer
So go be somebody’s answer to prayer

Do I Re-Crucify Him?
Words & Music by Dan Bagan
“My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord nor be discouraged when rebuked by Him.”
Do I re-crucify Him oh, when I deny Him? I know
I cause Him pain, time and time again
But do I re-crucify Him oh, when I deny Him, and turn and walk way
From all I know to do and the things I need to say
Chorus:
But He said, “In this world you will be tempted and have trouble,
Facing mountains that look way too high to climb
For my Name you will grieve, but by faith you must believe
In this life when you fall, take heart
For you I’ve overcome it all, I have overcome it all, for you I have overcome it all.”
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths.” I know I know…
But do we re-crucify Him oh when we deny Him?
I know we cause Him pain,
Time and time again but do we re-crucify Him
Oh when we deny Him,
And turn and walk way from all we know to do and the things we need to say
Chorus
Christ I lay my life before you I will worship and adore you
Help me Lord to seek your face to understand the Father’s grace (repeat)
Oh Jesus, my Saviour
So I don’t re-crucify You, I can’t deny You I won’t cause you pain, time and time again
I don’t re-crucify You and I won’t deny you, don’t let me turn away
From all I know to do and the things I need to say
“I will never leave you or forsake you…”

Let Him Go
Words and Music by Dan Bagan
A minute after he was born I held him in my arms
…Not the daughter I’d been dreaming of…
But I watched him and my tears began, then I kissed his head
And I prayed as he received a father’s love
In him I saw reflections of the man I am today
And I’d teach him everything a boy should know
Then someone whispered words that nearly tore apart my heart
“Sir, your time is up, you need to let him go.”
Father what was it like that day in heaven when you gave up your own son?
And you watched Him go to someone else’s arms?
Was it empty ‘round the mansions, Ooo, with-out Him there?
I need to know…… did it take a Father’s love to let him go?
Well I’d like to say things worked out fine as my son became a man
And the dreams we had for him had all come true
But somewhere in a darkened cloud we watched him slip away
And we prayed, “Father God, what can we do?”
I flew him to a place where they could watch him night and day
In an airport I told him I loved him so
Then someone echoed those same words that tore apart my heart
“Sir your time is up, you need to let him go.”
Father, what was it like that day in heaven when they crucified your son?
How many tears were shed for this, your perfect plan?
Who even wrapped their arms around you, like you did for me
I need to know…. did it take a Father’s love?
What was it like that day in heaven, when your son came home?
What did the angels sing when He first appeared?
How did you celebrate the moment you wrapped him in your arms
I need to know… did it take a father’s love… a father’s love?
It takes the Father’s love…. to bring him home.
(I love you son. See you real soon…okay?)

Can I Pray For You?
By Dan Bagan
Can I pray for you ‘cause you’ve been on my mind?
Can I pray for you when the world has been unkind?
But what we count as gain the world counts as loss
So can I lay your burdens down at the foot of the cross?
Can I pray for you ‘cause you’ve been on my mind?
Can I pray for you when the world has been unkind?
Can I pray for you ‘cause you’ve been on my heart?
Can I pray for you when your life’s been torn apart?
(Can I pray for You?)
Can I hold your hand as you walk down this road?
Try and understand, help you bear your load?
When the morning light appears, let your pain be washed away
May He dry all your tears, and your joy return again
Repeat
Can I pray for you ‘cause you’ve been on my mind?
Can I pray for you when the world has been unkind?
Can I pray for you ‘cause you’ve been on my heart?
Can I pray for you when your life’s been torn apart?

My God
By Dan Bagan
Why do some men always make it while others seem to fall?
How can we understand the simple meaning of it all?
So I go to God, to my God
Why is there so much pain and sadness, Ooo, and all this fear?
Why do some folks live in darkness when hope is ever near?
I turn to God, to my God
Chorus
(I take it to) the Father of creation, who showers me with love
He fills me with His Spirit; I can never get enough
I am humbled by His presence and so I kneel in awe
Of my God… oh my God
I will praise you , oh, my God … I will praise you , oh, my God
Why do people hate each other, Ooo, and turn to war?
I wonder if they even know what they are fighting for?
I pray to God… to my God…
If we’d learn to love each other we’d turn it all around
Imagine billions joined in praise, how glorious the sound
For my God, oh my God… worshipping
Chorus (2x)

A Child of the King
By Dan Bagan
I am proud to be a child of the King
There’s no higher place than underneath His wings
Just to feel His love, like a living spring
I’m so proud to be a child of the King
I kneel here as a soldier of the cross
All my richest gains, I count as loss
I will honor Him for all His suffering
By living proud to be a child of the King!
CHORUS
I lift my voice, I raise my hands
The view is heaven bound from where I stand
Father make me one holy offering
Cause more than life I’m proud to be
A living child of the King, My King!
I’m a child of the King!
There’s a call on every woman, every man
The time is now for all to make a stand
Will you live for Christ, give Him your everything,
And shine your light as a child of the King?
Chorus (2x)

Why Can’t I Feel You Jesus?
Words and Music by Dan Bagan
She remembers a child who would run to your arms
With teardrops, butterflies, and stories
Then a promise to a young girl; how you’d always be there
And with all of her heart she believed you
But now she cries, “why can’t I feel you Jesus?
Did I wander too far to find my way home?
Oh I know there’s a heaven above me
But I’ve forgotten why you even love me”
She cries, “why can’t I feel you Jesus?
I’ve got to find you somehow
‘Cause Jesus, I need to feel you now.”
It felt like a moment and her true love was gone
And life meant her job and three children
Some days it’s all she can do to hold on
And she’s never felt so alone
And now she cries, “why can’t I feel you, Jesus?
Did I wander too far to find my way home?
Oh I know there’s a heaven above me
But I’ve forgotten why you even love me.”
She cries, “why can’t I feel you, Jesus?
I’ve got to find you somehow
‘Cause Jesus, I need to feel…”
With little league, cubs, and bills to pay
Ballet class, school, and P.T.A.
A battle with her daughter’s will
Then she hears you whisper “Peace, be still”
And she cries, “now I can feel you Jesus
I never wandered too far to find my way home
With heaven all around me and above me
I know just how much you love me
Now I can feel you, Jesus
I knew you’d find me somehow
And Jesus?
It’s so good to feel you now. “

Country Music In My Mind
(Gospel Music in My Heart)
Words and Music by Dan Bagan
Oh, there’s country songs a – playin’ on and on in my mind
All those fav’rite tunes from my radio
The best of friends… beside me all the way
And I hope country music in my mind is here to stay
“Mamma” was the “Good Hearted Woman” in my life
The times she “Help me Make it Thru the Night”
I dreamed the “Gambler” and me went “On the Road Again”
But the “Green, Green Grass of Home” was kept in sight
Oh “Me and Bobby McGee” tried so hard not to laugh
When a “Crazy” “Desperado” took the floor
But that “Rhinestone Cowboy,” he knew “The Dance”
And he’s not “Lookin’ for Love” anymore
I fell for “Delta Dawn” her “Blue Eyes Cryin’ in the Rain”
In a “Heart Aches by the Number” overhaul
She said “She Believes in Me” just not “Forever and Amen”
Well, I’ll be back “Before the Next Teardrop Falls
Yeah there’s country songs a – playin’ on and on in my mind
All those fav’rite tunes from my radio
The best of friends… beside me all the way
And I hope country music in my mind is here to stay
But you know… I was standing “In the Garden” when I met “Amazing Grace”
They found me “Cryin’ in the Chapel” “On My Knees”
I saw “Nothing but the Blood” on an “Old Rugged Cross”
And I asked Him, “Why me Lord” tell me please?
“I Believe” with all my heart “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands”
And though “I May Never Pass This Way Again”
With “How Great Thou Art” “It is Well With My Soul”
And there’ll be “Peace in the Valley” “Amen”
So there’s Country songs a – playin’ on and on in my mind
But Gospel ones a – livin’ in my heart
Like the best of friends… stoppin’ by to pray
Country music in my mind, Gospel music in my heart
This Mighty gift of song is here to stay…..yeah!

Let ‘Em Ride!
Words and Music by Dan Bagan
Dedicated to my country Dad, Grant Smith
One day he headed ‘cross his land as cowboys love to do
When he found himself in heaven for a moment or two
Oh, then he saw Jesus there with a smile upon his face
“My child your cowboy tears of joy bring honor this place”
He took him round the mansions, down a road with gold for sand
To a place where mighty horses stood awaiting his command
That boy knew that he was home and he whispered to the Lord,
“Can I tend them for you Master, as my heavenly reward?”
Oh now tears fell from the Savior’s eyes, His arms spread open wide
“John, saddle up the finest one then, open the gates boys, and…
Chorus
Let ‘em ride… as far as he can go!”
So he rode across the universe and saw the earth below
All of Glory cheered when he returned and again that cowboy cried
How would he describe the day he heard,
“Open the gates, open them boys… and let ‘em ride!”
Let ‘em ride!
Well, before he went back home he asked, “Lord what have I done
To deserve a gift so precious, from a place that’s still to come?”
“My son, each child you taught to ride, you showed the Father’s love
And when you led them to their knees all heaven smiled above
Most went on to spread the word, why, we counted far and wide
Till one day God said, “Bring you up then open the gates boys and…”
(chorus)
Well, he won’t forget his heaven time; he can’t wait to return
But for now he still had work to do, more to teach and learn
His horse and him stared ‘cross the land with a humble sense of pride
Till a tiny voice behind him asked, “ Hey mister, Can I have a ride?”

God is on His Throne
Words and Music by Dan Bagan
Chorus
(I know that) God is on His throne
And someday heaven will be my home
But He sent His son and the Holy Ghost
So we would not be alone
Till we see God, my God on His Throne
I turned on the news today and it was bad of course
If the price of gas goes up again I’m buying me a horse
They’ve studied nearly everything, made us scared to take a breath
So far the only thing they all agree?
Living causes death
Just remember (chorus)
Does life before we went online seem like some fairy tale?
Cause now all day long our world stops ‘cause buddy, we’ve got mail!
And what they show now on TV, well, I just have this hunch
That the days of innocence were lost, with the Brady Bunch… still…
Chorus
Some see God as every creature, a rock, a fish, a tree
Holy cow! If that’s true then in His image, does a Walrus look like me?
They say we must be understanding all religions should unite
And when my Jesus comes again… will it matter who was right?
All I know is…
(chorus)
I won’t face this world alone when my God is on His throne
