According to John - Worth the Wait

The woman of my dreams
Is in the scheme of things
And she is worth the wait
There’s no one to compare
She is somewhere out there
She is worth the wait

CHORUS

And as I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord her (your) heart to keep
And baby I don’t know your name
Don’t think I’ve seen your face
But you are worth the wait
I am not ashamed to
Be a virgin for you
Baby you are worth the wait

I’m working day and night
To be your Mr. Right
I’ll be worth your wait
Know that I will be true
And that I’ll wait for you
Cause you are worth it, babe
And I don’t know who you are
Already I love you
Can’t wait to meet you
Waiting for you.

According to John - Standing Ovation

There once lived a man named Stephen
I read about him just the other day
A man of conviction
Who was not afraid to stand up for what he believed
He knew how to please the Father
By giving all the glory to the Son
With boldness he reminded the Pharisees
This Jesus really was the Holy One
Before the angry mob drug him, out of the city
To stone him, he would not compromise
Before the jagged edges cut him
He looked up into heaven
And when he turned his eyes, he saw a...

CHORUS

Standing ovation - from Jesus Christ the King
A standing ovation - there was a great cloud of witnesses

Angels all singing
Many would deny the Savior
When standing face to face with death
But Stephen would not deny - he was ready to die
He would be faithful to the very last breath
He stood for Jesus, and Jesus stood for Him
I hope that one day I will become
Half the man that Stephen was
A man who is willing to stand for the Lord
In everything he does
I cannot wait to go to heaven
I’m gonna find Stephen in the crowd
That very first day
I’ll be standing right beside him
We’ll turn our eyes on Jesus
And join right in the praise
We’ll be giving Him a...

CHORUS

Standing ovation - for Jesus Christ the King
A standing ovation, We’ll cry "Holy, Holy, Holy!
Worthy is the Lamb!"

Cause He could’ve called ten thousand angels
To return Him to his Father’s side
But Jesus would not turn His eyes - He was ready to die
He would be faithful to the very last breath.
For you are holy, holy, holy are you Lord my God

According to John - She's in Love

What a beautiful smile
A radiant girl
Fell in love first time I saw her
She stays on my mind
I’d give anything
To know everything about her

Pre-Chorus:
There’s light in her eyes
And I know it’s all for him
She carries on and on
Like he was her best friend

Chorus:
She’s in love (echo)
It’s not hard to see
But I would like to believe it was with me
Someone got a hold of her heart
And he won’t let go
And I know
She’s in love

Verse2:
She looks to the sky
When she talks about him
She believes he hung the moon
Said he had to go away
She waits for his return
Says he’s coming for her soon

Pre-Chorus2:
How can this be fair?
This guy can walk on water
Don’t guess I’ve got a prayer
He’s written love letters - to reach her

Bridge:
She worships the ground he walks on
She just smiles when she says his name
It’s a match made in heaven
I can’t compete with the King of Kings

According to John - Perfect World

In a perfect world
There are no sinners
Every daddy comes home
Nobody's alone
Every bottle caps a winner
In a perfect world
Every boy’s got a pony
Every heart we try to win
Won't say "Can't we just be friends?"
Nobody’s fake or phony.

CHORUS

We don't have a perfect world
We’ll soon see a perfect world
God’s designed a perfect world
No tears in the perfect world
I believe the perfect God will one day
Take me to a perfect world
There’s a perfect world

No more rejection
All the broken homes
Replaced by the love
of a father’s affection
In a perfect world
Could you imagine
No bills to pay
No wicked ways
Everybody’s got a mansion?

According to John - More Alive

I’m gonna live
And never ever die
In a thousand years
I won’t be here
But I will still be alive
I’ll be laughing and loving
Living and leading
A wonderful life

CHORUS

Let’s just say that I’ll be...
More Alive
Than I am today
So if I die before I wake
I’ll be more Alive
Than I am today
I’ll be more Alive
Than I am today

Do you want to live
With no worries of time?
In ten thousand years
No pain, no tears
Everything will be just fine
We’ll be laughing and loving Living and leading
A wonderful life
To live is Christ, to die is to be
More alive than I ever could be
Jesus make me...

According to John - Matter at Hand

What’s the matter at hand?
It’s a matter of truth
And the matter with me
Is what’s the matter with you.
As a matter of fact
It’s a matter of sin
We need a savior.
So the matter at hand
Just a matter of time.
It’s a matter of seek
And a matter of find.
Oh the blind
They need to see
They need a savior.

CHORUS

Do you know the heart of the matter?
Do you know what matters most?
Do you know what lasts forever
Is the Word of God and the souls of men?

So what matters to me
Is what matters to Him.
So the matter at hand
Is a matter of life
It’s a matter of death
And a matter of sight.
Oh, the blind
They need to see
He is the Savior.

According to John - High and Mighty

You and I, We are here for now
But someday we’ll be gone
Like the flowers and the grass
And every melody of every song
I see the midnight sky and I
Wonder why I’m on the mind of one
Higher than I

He’s High and Mighty - A Strong Tower
I am sheltered by his power
He is ever standing by my side.
Rulers rise they fall and die
But by and by I’ll hide behind
The only - High and Mighty
No mountain high we see boasting
Proudly in the sky
Will dare refuse to glorify
I see the midnight sky and I
Wonder Lord just who am I
That I am on your Mind...

According to John - Heaven Forbid

Heaven forbid
That I refuse the pain and miss the grace
That you have for me in this place...
Heaven forbid
That my life be lived for passing things
And lives I touch remain the same...

Heaven forbid
That I miss the truth
Heaven forbid
That I waste my youth
Do not permit the enemy
To have the victory
Over me
Heaven forbid

Heaven forbid
That I be a study of showmanship
And not become your workmanship...

Heaven forbid
That I carelessly sow convenient seeds
And convince myself you’re using me...
When I begin to wander away
I beg you, Lord, compel me to stay.

According to John - God Thing

I’m not real sure just what happened
I was on the floor Crying out in desperation
And the next thing I remember
The heaviest load Had been lifted from my shoulders

Pre-Chorus:
And I was tired of trying
Sick of feeling
Like I was dying

Chorus:
It was a God Thing
Can’t explain it
Just like a freight train
Can’t slow it down
It was a God Thing
Can’t contain it
Sure of one thing
That I’m changing
What else can I say
It was a God Thing

Verse2:
When you’re staring at your ceiling
No more disguise
Just you and the one you’re needing
Then there’s a feeling that you’re drowning
Just hold out your heart
On the water someone’s walking

Bridge:
Well I might not know the words
Don’t know chapter - don’t know verse
But I know that I know that I know

According to John - Amazing

Every choir and congregation
Every language, every nation
Together singing, then and now, Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
How sweet the sound

CHORUS

Your grace is amazing
Your grace is amazing

All we like sheep have gone astray
Aimlessly wandering away
No shepherds face had tears like yours
Amazing is your grace, my Lord

Every child’s first recital
Still we hum the ageless title
Even slaves in chains sang
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Now I’m found
Sometimes I speak the careless sigh
But for the grace of God go I
I’m so amazed at how you rescued me
I once was blind, but now I see
Now I see
So amazing

CHORUS

Amazing is your grace
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind but now I see

According to John - Confession

Most merciful God
We confess that we have sinned against you
Forgotten who we are
By what we have done
And what we have left undone
Most merciful God
We have not loved you with our whole hearts
We’ve not loved each other
As we have loved ourselves
This is my confession

CHORUS

This is my confession
The profession of my faith
Do you see me falling
On my knees and to my face?
Reveal in me what I’ve concealed
And I’ll turn from sin and you will heal me
And my house.

Most merciful God
We are truly sorry, and humbly repent
For the sake of your Son
And our Savior, Jesus Christ
This is my profession.
Most merciful God
Have mercy on me, and forgive me
That I may delight in your will
And that I may walk in your ways
To the glory of your name.

According to John - Cloud Nine

She got the boy
He got the girl
She was on cloud nine
He was up on top of the world
Puppy love
They would lasso the moon together

But he found another girl
When she had their boy
Anything for love
He said she was the only one
Nothing old - and nothing new
Now she’s alone with baby blue
Listen what she had to say

Chorus:
It’s not what I thought it would be
Not s’posed to happen to me
Wish I could go back in time
Iam Just sixteen
Not how I thought it would be
Here on cloud nine

Verse2
There is a boy
There is a girl
In God’s perfect time
Out there somewhere in the world
Just for you
You will lasso the moon - together

So will you trust the one
Who made the world
He invented love
And made the one you’re dreaming of
But for now - and until then
Trust and wait on him
Listen what they had to say

Bridge:
Just you wait and see
Just you wait and see
It’s not what you think it will be
You don’t have to be the one to say
