MARTIN LUTHER

Snippet 

The right and true treasure of the Church is the most Holy Gospel 
of the glory and grace of God. Martin Luther Theses #62

Scripture
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of 

God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the 

Jew, then to the Gentile. For in the gospel the righteousness of 

God is revealed—a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, 

just as it is written: “The righteous will live by faith.” Romans 

1:16,17 NIV

Song

David Crowder 

Lift Your Head Weary Sinner


Lift your head weary sinner, the river's just ahead
Down the path of forgiveness, salvation's waiting there
You built a mighty fortress 10,000 burdens high
Love is here to lift you up, here to lift you high

If you're lost and wandering
Come stumbling in like a prodigal child
See the walls start crumbling
Let the gates of glory open wide

All who've strayed and walked away, unspeakable 
things you've done
Fix your eyes on the mountain, let the past be dead and gone
Come all saints and sinners, you can't outrun God
Whatever you've done can't overcome the power of the blood

If you're lost and wandering
Come stumbling in like a prodigal child
See the walls start crumbling
Let the gates of glory open wide

If you're lost and wrecked again
Come stumbling in like a prodigal child
See the walls start crumbling
Let the gates of glory be open wide

If you're lost and wandering
Come stumbling in like a prodigal child
See the walls start crumbling
Let the gates of glory open wide

If you're lost and wrecked again
Come stumbling in like a prodigal child
See the walls start crumbling
Let the gates of glory be open wide
Let the gates of glory be open wide
Let the gates of glory be open wide
Sentence Prayer
Martin Luther's Prayer
Behold, Lord, An empty vessel that needs to be filled.
My Lord, fill it.
I am weak in faith;
Strengthen thou me.
I am cold in love;
Warm me and make me fervent
That my love may go out to my neighbour.
I do not have a strong and firm faith;
At times I doubt and am unable to trust thee altogether.
O Lord, help me. Strengthen my faith and trust in thee.
In thee I have sealed the treasures of all I have.
I am poor;Thou art rich and didst come to be merciful 
to the poor. I am a sinner;Thou art upright.
With me there is an abundance of sin;
In thee is the fullness of righteousness.
Therefore, I will remain with thee of who I can receive
But to whom I may not give.

Amen.

DEVIL

Snippet

“La plus belle des ruses du diable est de vous persuader qu'il 

n'existe pas.” ("The devil's finest trick is to persuade you that he 

does not exist.")” , Paris Spleen

Scripture

“When the 1,000 years are completed, Satan will be released 

from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations at the 

four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for 

battle. Their number is like the sand of the sea. 9 They came up 

over the surface of the earth and surrounded the encampment of 

the •saints, the beloved city. Then fire came down from heaven 

and consumed them. 10 The Devil who deceived them was 

thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the 

false prophet are, and they will be tormented day and night 

forever and ever. ” Revelation 20:7-11 HCSB

Song
To Hell with the Devil Stryper

[Verse 1]
Speak of the devil 
He's no friend of mine 
To turn from him is what we have in mind 

[Verse 2]
Just a liar and a thief 
The word tells us so 
We like to let him know 
Where he can go 

[Chorus]
To hell with the devil 
To hell with the devil 

[Verse 3]
When things are going wrong 
You know who to blame 
He will always live 
Up to his name 

[Verse 4]
He's never been the answer 
There's a better way 
We are here to rock you 
And to say...

[Repeat Chorus]

Sentence Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ, I believe that you are the Son of God, that you 

are the Messiah come in the flesh to destroy the works of the 

Devil. You died on the cross for my sins and rose again from the 

dead. I now confess all of my sins and repent. I now ask you to 

forgive me and cleanse me in your blood. I believe that your 

blood cleanses me now from all sin. Thank you for redeeming me, 

cleansing me, justifying me and sanctifying me in your blood.  


Amen

BURN IT DOWN

Snippet

“The paper burns, but the words fly free.” Akiba Ben Joseph

Scripture

Since everything around us is going to be destroyed like this, 

what holy and godly lives you should live, 12 looking forward to 

the day of God and hurrying it along. On that day, he will set the 

heavens on fire, and the elements will melt away in the flames. 

But we are looking forward to the new heavens and new earth he 

has promised, a world filled with God’s righteousness.

And so, dear friends, while you are waiting for these things to 

happen, make every effort to be found living peaceful lives that 

are pure and blameless in his sight. 2 Peter 3:11-14 NLT


Song

Burn it down!
I see the dawning of a movement of the kids who won't concede
To a culture of deception; and a spark is all we need.
I see the dawning of a movement of the kids who won't concede
To a culture of deception; and a spark is all we need
To see a revolution in a culture that's living a lie.
Still, this is our generation, and still, we will not watch it die.

Out in the streets we run, with the fire of conviction,
And we let it shine.
We burn every structure down, that stands for our destruction.
Liberate your mind!
And we will always believe:
They can see our banner waving high, so let your fire 
burn tonight.
And as the city sleeps, in the empty streets, there's a 
flame lighting up the sky!

There is a system designed to destroy us.
We'll send it back to hell!
I'll watch it burn to the ground.
Burn it down!
I'll watch it burn to the ground;
And freedom will rise from the ashes.

Burn it down!
I see the dawning of a movement of the kids who won't concede
To a culture of deception; and a spark is all we need.
I see the dawning of a movement of the kids who won't concede
To a culture of deception; and a spark is all we need
To see a revolution in a culture that's living a lie.
Still, this is our generation, and still, we will not watch it die.

And we will always believe:
They can see our banner waving high, so let your fire 
burn tonight.
And as the city sleeps, in the empty streets, there's a 
flame lighting up the sky!
They can see our banner waving high, so let your fire 
burn tonight.
And as the city sleeps, in the empty streets, there's a flame 
we see burning bright!

Sentence Prayer

God, strengthen me.  Empower me.  Use me in my family, 

my church, and anywhere I go as a soldier for you.  Keep me 

firm and steadfast as I shine in the world.  Let all who see me 

know that the boldness of Christ strengthens me.  Let this radiate 

to the world so that others can see you through me and my 

actions. Amen

SUNRISE

Snippet

“We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real 

tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.” Plato

Scripture

For they eat the bread of wickedness, And drink the wine of 

violence.  But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, 

That shineth more and more unto the perfect day. The way of the 

wicked is as darkness: They know not at what they stumble. 

Proverbs 4:17-19 ASV

Song
Scott Stapp Sinner's Creed 
 A Prayer for Sunrise

Walking on that thin fine line
Keep hitting them rough roads all the time
Don't know what I'm gonna do with life
Think I've gone to far
Think I've lost my mind
Let me tell you a little story about a man who died
Tell you every legend tell you how he survived
He cried and cried and cried, cried and cried and cried 
and cried

Don't give up on life
The only thing I must remember is

When there's nothing left to do
I pray for sunrise
The light will be here soon 
I just pray for sunrise

Talk is cheap I know sometimes
Words keep trading places with living right
Tell me something I haven't heard
My time's not up haven't lost my nerve
Each day I must remember I have to realize
Cannot ever be a quitter til the day I die
I've cried and cried and cried, cried and cried and 
cried and cried

Don't give up on life
The only thing I must remember is

When there's nothing left to do
I pray for sunrise
The light will be here soon 
I just pray for sunrise

I'm bound and wicked please untie my hands
I'm a sinner who's living in a desperate land
I wrestle with flesh made of blood and sand
Just a little insane isn't that human

When there's nothing left to do
I pray for sunrise
The light will be here soon 
I just pray for sunrise

When there's nothing left to do
I just pray for sunrise
The light will be here soon 
I just pray for sunrise

I just pray for sunrise

Sentence Prayer

O Lord, let my soul rise up to meet you

as the day rises to meet the sun.

Glory to the father, and to the son, and to the Holy Spirit


as it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever.  Amen

MANOLO

Snippet

"It would be better to speak six words in the power of the Holy 
Ghost than to preach seventy years of sermons without the 
Spirit." Charles Spurgeon
Scripture

“Now Ezra had determined in his heart to study the law of the 

Lord, obey it, and teach its statutes and ordinances in Israel. 

Ezra 7:10 HCSB

Song
Manolo by Trip Lee
http://youtu.be/IaZi0cUP98M

Intro: Trip Lee]
Yessir
Gawvi, get 'em
Why we do it?
Why we do it?

[Hook: Gawvi]
I do it for the turn-up (gat gat)
Got that ammo locked and loaded
I ain't talking bout no burner
Flip a page I'll explode it

Got a cabin in manolo (nolo) manolo (nolo) manolo (nolo) manolo
Got a cabin in manolo (nolo) manolo (nolo) manolo (nolo) manolo
Got a cabin in manolo

[Verse 1: Trip Lee]
Trying to tell them boys
I never leave da crib alone
Cuz I keep one in my car and I got two at home
They diff'rent kinds but they do the same thing
Double-edged double-barrel (bang bang) Yessuh

I'm out here facin braggins, I ain't on my mayn (bay bay)
They comin' for my soul so it's bout that time (bay bay)
Them lies they trying to kill me if you don't believe me
I don't care, I don't care
I can't take it easy

I'm flippin the page, Im drinking half of your clip in the gauge
And the heat in the stage, hit you with truth thats in every phrase
He cut me deep I'm
Divin' in, Divin' in
When I ride I got to (fly fly)
Come alive again

That's right (when I ride I got to)
Come alive again, You know we got it
Come alive again, uh huh
Manolo many

[Hook]

[Verse 2: Lecrae]
Manolo, manolo?
I’m out here going postal
My partnas think I lost it, my momma think I'm loco
I keep my shooter close tho, You know it's fully automatic
Shoot you straight, man that trigga'll do you plenty damage
I got enemies I can't see'em all but they lurkin' (lurkin')
I flip that page on em my trigga finga stay workin (pop pop pop)
I got plenty ammo got old and new they both testify, my lord
And ain't nobody playin with you, gone mess around, and come test the fire (hah)
And I ain't gotta say no more, gonna kick kick bang and the thing gone blow
Red Letters like a red dot on yo door (yep yep yep yep yep)
All yall gone with a dash on the backseat
That's me with a clip full of black ink
Ima hit yall with it till I split yall widdit (man down man down)
Had a bad week, bad week (man down, man down)

[Hook]

Outtro, Trip:
I be a sheep I'm a dummy
Sometimes it ain't even funny
Them lies are sick and them poors and wider a truth that is sweeter than honey
And we know that He got us
He is with us can't block us; Ibaka
----------
His word is my weapon
It's going Brrrr-aaat!

[Hook, first half]

This song is primarily about comparing the Bible, the 

unchangeable Word of God Himself, to a firearm, a weapon that 

can be used offensively and defensively on a daily basis to 

change the world for the greater good. The name “Manolo” is a 

variant Spanish translation of the name “Emmanuel”, meaning 

“God with us”. This song is about the reassurance God gives us 

through His Word, something that we can actually use to change 

the world around us for His will. The name Manolo also implies a 

“high life” of wealth and fame, and the artists admit in the song 

that, not only are there critics out there that are trying to bring 

them down if they slip up, but they are also admitting that they 

are normal sinful individuals as any human is, and they must 

regularly stay in the Word of God if they want to be protected and 

continue to serve Christ.

Sentence Prayer

Father;

May I walk in the blessings of your word.

May I know the protection of your wisdom.


May I kill the thoughts of Satan with the truth of God. Amen R.M.

SUCH A TIME AS THIS

Snippet
The easiest way to discover the purpose of an invention is to ask 
the creator of it.  Rick Warren Purpose Driven life pg  20

Scripture
“Mordecai told the messenger to reply to Esther, “Don't think that 
you will escape the fate of all the Jews because you are in the 
king's palace. 14 If you keep silent at this time, liberation “and 
deliverance will come to the Jewish people from another 
place, but you and your father's house will be destroyed. Who 
knows, perhaps you have come to your royal position for such a 
time as this.” 
15 Esther sent this reply to Mordecai: 16 “Go and assemble all 
the Jews who can be found in Susa and fast for me. Don't eat or 
drink for three days, day or night. I and my female servants will 
also fast in the same way. After that, I will go to the king even if 
it is against the law. If I perish, I perish.” 17 So Mordecai went 
and did everything Esther had ordered him.” Ester 4:13-17 HCSB
Song
Here for a reason-Ashes Remain
You're not forgotten, you're not alone

You think you're worthless, but you're worth it

And He calls you His own

Made in His image, you were made for more

You think there is no plan, that it's all by chance

But don't believe that anymore:

Every time that you wake up breathing

Every night when you close your eyes

Everyday that your heart keeps beating

There's purpose for your life

So don't give up

Don't lay down

Just hold on

Don't quit now

Every breath that you take has meaning

You are here for a reason

If you spend your days just getting by

When you feel useless, He can use you

And show you what it means to be alive:

Every time that you wake up breathing

Every night when you close your eyes

Everyday that your heart keeps beating

There's purpose for your life

So don't give up

Don't lay down

Just hold on

Don't quit now

Every breath that you take has meaning

You are here for a reason

Everyday is a gift from above

Don't throw it away

When it feels like too much

He'll be there...

Every time that you wake up breathing

Every night when you close your eyes

Everyday that your heart keeps beating

There's purpose for your life

So don't give up

Don't lay down

Just hold on

Don't quit now

Every breath that you take has meaning

You are here for a reason

Sentence Prayer

With each new morning, Lord, we praise you and delight that our 

lives are in your hand.  Your goodness sustains us.  Your calling 

gives us purpose. Your victory ensures that our times are in your 


hands.  Amen

SURRENDER

Snippet
If you are a Christian, your life is not your own, rather than 
dying, however, God asks you to live for him as a living sacrifice.  
Every day, you are to offer your life to Him for His service.  
Henry T. Blackaby
Scripture
My heart is not proud, Lord,
    my eyes are not haughty;
I do not concern myself with great matters
    or things too wonderful for me.
 But I have calmed and quieted myself,
    I am like a weaned child with its mother;
    like a weaned child I am content.
 Israel, put your hope in the Lord
    both now and forevermore. Psalms 131
Song
Surrender by Kim Walker
Verse 1: 
There is no love, sweeter than the love You pour on me. 
There is no song, sweeter than the song You sing to me. 
There is no place, that I would rather be, 
Than here at Your feet, laying down everything. 
Chorus: 
All to You, I surrender, 
Everything, every part of me. 
All to You, I surrender, 
All of my dreams, all of me. 
Verse 2: 
If worship's like perfume, I'll pour mine out on You. 
For there is none as deserving of my love like You. 
So take my hand and draw me into You, 
I want to be swept away, lost in love for You. 
Bridge 1: 
I surrender... 
Bridge 2: 
No turning back, I've made up my mind, 
I'm giving all of my life this time. 
Bridge 3: 
Your love makes it worth it, 
Your love makes it worth it all, 
Your love makes it worth it all.
Sentence Prayer
Jesus
All to You I surrender;
All to You I freely give;
I will ever love and trust You,
In His presence daily live.
I surrender all,
I surrender all;
All to Thee, my blessed Savior,
I surrender all. Amen

(Based on Old Hymn I Surrender all Judson W. Van DeVenter)
