Hope’n’Anchor – Better run!

D/Hm/A/G/D

R. Better Run Better run Better Run
Better Run Better Run Better Run
Better run to the City of Refuge
Better Run Better Run

1. Jericho`s wall were high and proud
High and proud to fall so hard
When one day these trumpets return aloud
trust only in the name of the Lord

2. There is a refuge for your soul
in the shadow of the cross
come with your sins to Jesus Christ
´cause he made peace between God and us

3. Sinner seek the Lord sinner seek the Lord
His blood will clean you from all your sins
Seek His name as long as He is to find
`cause Jesus returns like a thief in the night

Hope’N’Anchor – Psalm 51

Nach Psalm 51
Hope´N´Anchor 2007

Herr sei mir gnädig
nach deiner großen Güte
und tilge meine Sünden
denn du bist barmherzig

Wasche mich rein
von allen Missetaten
denn alle meine Sünden
sind immer vor dir

An dir allein
habe ich gesündigt
nur du bist gerecht
vergelte mir doch nicht

In sündigem Wesen
wurde ich geboren
und sündig bin ich
von Mutterleibe an

Wasche mich rein
im Blute deines Sohnes
so werde ich schneeweiß
und die Freude kehrt zurück

Wasche mich rein
im Blute deines Sohnes
so füllt sich mein Mund
mit Liedern dir zu Ehre

Verbirg dein Gesicht
vor aller meiner Sünde
ein reines Herz gib mir
und einen festen Geist

Sei mir wieder gnädig
nach deiner Güte
denn ich habe deinen
Heilgen Geist betrübt

Öffne meine Lippen
die du versiegelt hast
von deiner großen Gnade
will ich erzähln

Opfer willst du nicht
auch Fasten ist dir gleich
geängstigt und zerschlagen
solln Herzen vor dir sein

Hope’N’Anchor – The Gates of Eternity

1. Where the streets have no name
you get rewarded or blamed
you´re free or in flames
you sing or curse your own name
Where time has gone
and you´ll be judged to the bone
or welcome at home
where´s laughter or groan

2. Where Joy never ends
or where´s pain round the bend
no one will stand before
God´s glory and strength
When heaven and hell
and all the earth will bow down
before the Lamb – and the eldest
cast their golden crowns

CHORUS (E/A/Cism/H)

The gates of eternity
choose well my friend choose well
You´re either saved by grace alone
or you´ll be damned in deepst hell

The gates of eternity
don´t accpet your own good deeds
the blood of Jesus Christ
is really all you need

3. When all wisdom fo men
seems like castles of sand
and all riches and gold
cannot save one single man´s soul
Some will shiver and shake
some give praise to the king
billions thrown in the lake
from every nation tounges will sing

4. When every question is answered
and every hunger is stilled
when every tear is dried
and all justice´s fulifilled
When the children who starved
are not hungry anymore
and where the rich man is thirsty
and regrets forever more

5. When technology´s forgotten
and war is no more
when the saved receive mercy
and the damned are alone
Where darkness is eternal
and pain undescribed
and memories infernal
and the soul never dies

6. Where the Lamb is the light
unseen things are in sight
unheard melodies cling
and all the heavens sing
Where judgement is just
by a judge whom you can triust
when many´ll be surprised
about hippocrites ´n lies

7. The gates of eternity are
just a little step away
they can suddenly open
every night and every day
The gates of eternity
are big enough for all
like in a second through all centuries
you hear their warning call

8. The Gates of Eternity
are long waiting for you
don´t believe it all too late
soon you´ll see that it´s true
May your heart be pitch black
and your sins red as the blood
come to the cross and get redeemed
by Jesus Christ the Son of God

Hope’N’Anchor – Free

1. I rack my brain
instead of crying
no complain
no more lying
No other way
no way to go
no place to stay
and I sing so

Refrain
It´s morning again
another day
it´s morning again
I go your way
It´s morning again
I feel so free
It´s morning again

2. Out of Home
back to the world
not alone
free like a bird
upon your wings
I´ll fly up high
and my heart sings
loudly to the sky

Refrain

3. Raised out of death
back to life
take a deep breath
I will survive
to worship you
my Lord and Saviour
I´ll sing unto
in heaven I see you

Refrain 2
It´s morning again
you rose from the grave
It´s morning again
I´m no more slave
It´s morning again
I´m really free
I praise you Lord
for your victory

Hope’N’Anchor – King of Kings

2007 by Hope´N´Anchor

1. He had no titles
and He had no throne
they had no room for him
when he was born

He had no wife
no golden crown
the foxes have holes
but he had no place to lay his head down

He had no house
nor silver and gold
but for a little silver
he got sold

R: But he had words
nobody ever heard before
and everybody knew God´s realm
was knockin´at the door

He had love
so mighty and so pure
that the sinners and the sick
felt that he was their cure

He had mercy with the bound
and with the one´s in need
who could´t give nothin
and he set them free

2. He had no beauty
He had no pride
he had no servants
no horse to ride

He had no arms
no army to command
his weapons were truth and love
and a givin´ hand

He had no slaves
and He didn´t kill
he became a servant and
gave up his own will

R: He had truth so powerful
for the hippocrites and scribes
and some repented
and he changed their lifes

He had forgiveness for sinners
for everyone who saw his guilt
and he carried our sins
to the cross so still

He had hope for the hopeless
and light for the blind
and justice for the weak
eternal life who wants to find it

3. He had only one robe
and thorns were his crown
but fishermen followed him
turned the world upside down

He had words
they didn´t forget
so much greater than everything
that has been said

R. He had one life
and he gave it away
that many can be saved
on that very last day

He had one life to give
and he gave it away
that you and me can be saved
on that very last day
