I DO DECLARE
Word & Music by Geof Kimber, © Aiyura Music, PO Box 2202, Myrtle Beach, SC 29578, www.geofkimber.com
CHORUS
I do declare, salvation comes through no one else
I could stay on my chair, and keep it to myself
But when you care that's not enough, you've got to share some more
You just can't hide your love for the Lord
V1
We've all heard the lie, "There ain't no enemy"
And we've heard the lie, "It's only fantasy"
We should never indulge in lifestyles that make light of Satan's ways
We've got to live the Gospel when we really believe what Jesus says
RAP
When looking for the truth, you really only need some common sense
And I would challenge you to gather up the evidence:
No other leader in world history for other's sins he bled
then rose from the dead
Making sense of all he said
There are many ways that people try to find their peace of mind
But more often than not, you'll find
It's the blind leading the blind
To ignore our simple need to repent
Is to flatly ignore the only Son God sent
V2
When you lay it on the line, there ain't no other way
You might say it ain't no crime to be on holiday
You can trust in what you want to, ignoring all the rest
But when we believe in Jesus' love, we're called to live in holiness

WISE MEN
Word & Music by Geof Kimber
© Aiyura Music, www.geofkimber.com
V1
Into the darkness, a Light has come
Out of the heavens, into a woman's womb
The eternal God became a youth
Still full of grace and truth
Wise men, who studied the Word of the Lord
Traveled to find this One they adored
Rather than stay in the comforts of home
They brought gifts that were once their own
CHORUS
Wise man still seek Him
'Though small is the gate, and narrow the way
Wise men still seek Him
The great I AM, the Way/ Wise men seek Him still today
V2
He told us salvation is ours by his grace
To all who have chosen to seek His face
To those who submit their own lives to be His
And love Him for who He is
So don't fret for your life, or the clothes you will wear
He even cares for the birds of the air
And He's promised, our lives will not comes to the worst
When we seek His Kingdom first
V3
Many a fool thinks himself to be wise
Extolling himself in his own eyes
Only to find he'll have nothing to give
It's when we die to ourselves, we live
Many a fool is so self-assured
But wisdom begins when we fear the Lord
The wise know that victory is our to claim
When we trust in the power of His Name
Last CHORUS
Wise man still seek Him
'Though small is the gate, and narrow the way
Wise men still seek Him
The great I AM, the Son of Man
The Truth, the Life, the Way
Wise men seek Him still today

FAIRYTALES
Word & Music by Geof Kimber

V1
A mollusk, for 3000 years had been dead
According to carbon 14, they said
But here comes the crunch, it was more like a hunch
'Cos the thing hadn't died, it was still alive
The pressure of oil in the earth, I am told
Shows it's no more than 10 000 years old
And if it's as old as evolutionists vow
The oil would have dissipated long before now
CHORUS
I don't believe in fairy tales
I do believe in Jesus
It's foolish to say, "We have come from the snails
And millions of years have somehow molded us"
Millions of theories could be made every day
With nothing to prove they are true
I believe in the Lord, and if you'd done your homework
You would believe in him, too
V2
One pre-historic man (Nebraska Man) was "scientifically" made
From one single tooth, the whole body came
Its some imagination that made those men think
"Cos that tooth came from a pig they thought was extinct
If you just used some good common sense, you would know
That things that are left to themselves tend to go
From complex to simple, things tend to decay
But evolution requires it to go the opposite way
V3
In fulfilling prophecy in the things that he's done
Christ's chance was 100 000 000 000 to 1
He fulfilled them all, and he died on that tree
Saying, "I will forgive, if you'll just come to me"
The mistake people make in this world today
Is believe what they want, and throw the rest all away
They just won't believe in what God has said
Or admit he has power to raise his Son from the dead

ONLY IN HIS NAME
Word & Music by Geof Kimber
© Aiyura Music, www.geofkimber.com
CHORUS
Only in his Name have I found such peace
No more sin and shame, only sweet release
He restores my soul, lifts the load I bear
When I kneel at the cross and leave my burdens there
V1
Walking with my Jesus, my life is not the same
Oh, I have my share of problems, and I have my share of pain
But he has always been so faithful, just like he said he would
I never before had hope that life would be so good
V2
The world's only hope is Jesus, from our old down to our youth
Many don't believe in such a thing as absolute truth
But now their lives are in confusion, and their hope is all but gone
'Cos we haven't done what's right, until we've turned away from wrong
BR
There's no condemnation for those in Jesus Christ
He's set me free from sin and death and given me new life
I have asked him for forgiveness, which he gave in no time flat
Now I don't live to please the flesh, 'cos I'm convinced that

EAR EAR
Word & Music by Geof Kimber
© Aiyura Music, www.geofkimber.com
CHORUS
Ear ear what the Lord is saying to you
Watch watch for the Lord is coming soon
Run run the race, staying on your toes
Spread the Word so everybody knows
V1
Friends we are called to share the Gospel of Christ
And not so God can make their lives all comfy cozy and nice
But that they'll find healing and forgiveness and be cleansed from all wrong
It's true that life is so short, but more that death is so long
V2
We've got no business chasing life without a glitch
Instead of looking out for No. 1 and trying to get rich
We've got to share at any cost, the news he's called us to tell
For millions are dying and going to hell
BR
If you've wandered from the race, and all he says to you
You just must STOP STOP and get back into the race
Get get back back to to

MAN WITH A LOVING HEART
Word & Music by Geof Kimber
© Aiyura Music, www.geofkimber.com
V1
Lord I sit here thing 'bout things that I have done
When the only thing I cared about was having my own fun
And there've been times it's angered me when things don't go my way
Give me patience, Lord, help me control all those words I say
CHORUS
Lord, and I want to be pleasing in your sight
Lord, and I want to be a child who does what's right
If I never get to do the things in which I'd like to be a part
I only pray that I'll still be a man with a loving heart
V2
There've been times I'd hold a grudge when someone does me wrong
Even though my chances to be kind, one day will be gone
And there've been times I've envied those who are where I'd like to be
But that is a thing for which I'd boast, and I must learn to bow the knee

I FEEL SO GOOD
Word & Music by Geof Kimber
© Aiyura Music, www.geofkimber.com
CHORUS
I feel so good just like I should
I feel so good
He's the Lord of my heart, He's the Lord of my mind
He's the Lord of my life, And my soul
He saved my soul
V1
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
He reached down and set this prisoner free
Now I no longer live in the shame
And the bondage of my sin
For a strong and mighty God is now living within
RAP
Now take a little time to think of where you stand
Is your life fully grounded in the Word of God?
Or are you blown around like a tree in the wind
Not knowing where you're headed, or we're you've trod?
Now the ways of wicked living are surely obvious
Coarse joking, cussing, a selfish deed
Sexual immorality, dishonesty and slander
Brawling and anger, lust, rage and greed
Now the ways of wicked living will come to an end
Just the way it declares in God's holy Word
And every single life that now defiantly denies him
Will one day confess that Jesus is Lord
So don't waste your life just living for yourself
Or looking for the things that will give you a buzz
For nothing, and no one, can break your bondage
And give you victory like Jesus does
BR
Jesus said if any man would follow after him
He must deny himself and take up his cross
So to follow after him, you know
There really is a definite cost
Oh, but I have found, there is on greater joy of living
Than to know a God who really cares about me
My best friend is the writer of
The best insurance policy

SOME PEOPLE
Word & Music by Geof Kimber
© Aiyura Music, www.geofkimber.com
V1
I knew this boy who knew this girl was really out of line
Still the things he'd seen and heard kept going through his mind
Time to surrender, give it to the Lord
Instead of trying to turn away, he still went back for more
Ooh, money and time to burn
Some people never seem to learn
V2
He thought he reasoned well, you know, the girl looked mighty fine
Her lips were sweet as honey, and her kiss was sweet as wine
Time to consider a little common sense
He turned his back on wisdom for a little experience
Ooh, money and time to burn
Some people never seem to learn
V3
I saw a man who helped that boy when he was close to tears
That man said some things that kept on ringing in his ears
Time to remember everything he heard
He chose to carry on as if he never heard a word
Ooh, money and time to burn
Some people never seem to learn
RAP
God knows full well that the human heart is deceptive deep within
And God's Word, the Bible, clearly says that death is the penalty for our sin
For every woman and man who rebels from God, and with wicked people stands
Simply must pay the consequence for their sin and ignoring God's commands
And that is why he gave us Jesus
And we are called to live for Jesus
V4
Well, a little later on, he took that girl to be his wife
It started out so rosy, oh you know, it looked so nice
Time to defend her, she's some kind of girl
But when she had enough, she left to take on the world
Ooh, money and time to burn
Some people never seem to learn
V5
You think it's fun to fool around, you don't know what's in store
You might have heard the Word of God so many times before
Time to surrender, you don't think it's true
You seem to think that painful things will never come to you
Ooh, money and time to burn
Some people never seem to learn

WHOLE HEART
Word & Music by Geof Kimber
© Aiyura Music, www.geofkimber.com
CHORUS
With my whole heart, my soul and my mind
With all of my strength, I will love you, oh Lord
My you find any way you can set me apart
And I'll serve you, oh God, my God
With my whole heart
V1
So much indifference is flooding the church
Not too many can say how they've grown
Oh, we think we're on target with so called good works
When our hearts are so far from your own
And Lord, I know it grieves you
To see the state we're in
When our apathy has cost you your life
We're so slow to even see it, and admit to you our sin
V2
Some people question me and say I'm no man
Just for calling you my only desire
Oh, they say I've gone overboard in seeking your plans
Still, I want to see my whole life on fire
I don't want a glowing ember
Or just a candle in the night
Lord, I want a bon fire, a holy fire
That purifies my soul, I love you Lord with all my might

GROW LIKE NICK
Word & Music by Geof Kimber
© Aiyura Music, www.geofkimber.com
V1
In a little fear a trembling, he sought the Lord at night
All the hostile questionings that day, just wasn't right
So he spent some time with him alone, to see what he came to give us
There's a whole lot more that we can learn, by looking at Nicodemus
CHORUS
Prime time, being with Jesus, I know what it means to be his friend
Prime time, being with Jesus, I know what it means to be born again
From darkness into light, he is setting fire to my wick
I have learned that I'm called to learn and grow like Nick
V2
At first, he showed confusion, like the woman at the well
'Though she gave no illusions that she was doing well
For people knew she slept around, they said, "She can't deceive us"
Still she was called to see her wrong, and repent like Nicodemus
V3
In his own estimation, he would lose respect from peers
And risk his reputation, enduring scoffs and jeers
But Jesus came to give new life, he knew he came to lead us
And we are called to lose our pride and repent, as Nicodemus

TRUST IN ME
Word & Music by Geof Kimber
© Aiyura Music, www.geofkimber.com
V1
Turn back from your sins 100%
There's no other meaning for one simple word, "repent'
When you love me
You've got so much knowledge stored in your head
But don't fail to remember, faith without works is dead
So, do you love me?
CHORUS
Don't go leaving me down, and you will see
When the trumpet shall sound, you'll be with me
Should you go leaving me down, to your dismay
You will never be found with me that day
Oh I just want you to follow
Take up your cross, leave your sins alone and follow
Don't go leaving me down, trust in me
V2
My child, I have called you to do your best
You know I have called you to live in holiness
When you love me
You say you've embraced the love that I give
But when you love me, it will show in the way you live
So, do you love me?
BR
Well the day will come when I will return
With power in the skies
And all who have chosen to be true to me
And are serving me, will rise

BUILD A NEW LIFE
Word & Music by Geof Kimber
© Aiyura Music, www.geofkimber.com
V1
Break up the old life, and my decaying state of mind
Wake up the new life, and snap out the things that bind
Take away the laziness, and shake up this weary soul
Build a new life in me, and never let me go
CHORUS
Open up my eyes, oh Lord, and let me see
Living truths of things above
Build me up so I will be
A reflection of your love
Create in me a hunger, Lord, for holiness
This will always be my need
Drive out the filthy mess
And leave a holy heart in me
V2
Build a new discipline, that your life in me will shine
And don't let me hold it in, 'cos that way of life would still be mine
Only one kind of life win, and that's the life I long to show
Build a new life in me, and never let me go
