Watchmen 04:47
Come! Come! Weʼre climbing up the slopes of Zion No more tears no more crying Come! Come! Weʼre comingʼ back with shouts of joy Comingʼ back shouting for joy God has blessed us Heaven smiled Weʼre bringing with us Grain new wine and Oil Watchmen on the hills shout out “Open wide the gates” For the Lord has called us back Itʼs time to celebrate A time to build and plant And gather in the fruit Join your hands and dance To the sound of strings and flute Restrain your voice from weeping And your eyes from their tears Jesus our deliverer Has redeemed the broken years So sing with all thatʼs in you Shout to all the earth “O Lord save your people And gather them to yourself!” Vous les sentinelles.. criez! “Le Seigneur est la” Il est temps de célébrer Dʼacceuillir le Roi Réjouissons-nous Fortifions nos bras Au rhythme des tambours Élevons nos voix Russ Rosen / Thierry Ostrini © 1996 / 2002 Arrows in the Hand, admin by Big Tree Publishing

Oil 05:09
Back in the days gone by the dream was alive For one people across the land At great sacrifice the rail came to life Compelling the country to stand Today there’s a train in the station With the key to the nation But it’s engine is rusted and seized We cry for release of the oil of peace On those who will believe Let the oil pour Pour down on me Let the oil pour Down down down down down on me So let’s roll out that train and bind up the pain That divides every heart and home We cry for the release of the oil of peace To reconcile us to God In the days of old the prophets were told To go be a force for change They said how can we go Unless your spirit will flow Flow through and pour down like rain Russ Rosen © 1998 Arows in the Hand Music Admin by Big Tree Publishing

Stand 04:01
Lookin’ for the free road Freedom from the wrong I do My heart just keeps on being pulled Then I hear a voice that says to... Live in His mighty pow’r When the day of evil comes Put on the armour now Stand! Shakin’ off the dust again Rising up to sit enthroned My heart is free to be unchained I am not a captive I can... Wake awake I’m clothed in strength Sandy Rosen ©1998 Arrows in the Hand Music Administrated by Big Tree Publishing

Warriors 03:53
Warriors, paint your faces Warriors, sound the drums Warriors, count your quiver Warriors, the time has come We’ve sat by our mouths were shut Closed our eyes and given up The Great One sounds the battle cry The hour is now the Son is high Come Holy Fire Drench the nation With your cleansing tide Roll like a river over me Burn up the chaff Flood the desert With your healing balm O let your kingdom come Warriors, men of peace When we speak, we do war Russ Rosen ©1996 Arrows in the Hand Music Admin. by Big Tree Publishing

Somethin’s rattlin’ Somethin’s shakin’ Somethin’ new is goin’ down Spirit’s movin’ Jesus is doin’ Kingdom work in this town As we walk through the valley Dry bones on every side Lord breathe out your spirit And make these bones alive Now is the day of salvation The day for life in His name And this generation Never gonna be the same Breathe,breathe, breathe Spirit breathe “You will know I’m the Lord When I make these dry bones live And I fill you with my spirit That only I can give.” Russ Rosen © 1998 Arrows in the Hand Music Admin. by Big Tree Publishing

When my heart is troubled When my spirit gives way When the burden is heavy So heavy that I cannot pray I go down to the river Where the current is strong And the mercy is flowing freely In the river I belong When the mountain top’s distant And the way through the forest is blurred the path is steep and winding And I desperately need reassurance I will drink of your river of delights For you are the fountain of life In your light I can see light Take me down to your river tonight Russ Rosen © 1996 Arrows in the Hand Music Admin. by Big Tree Publishing

Mercy of God 04:39
The riverbank reveals it’s silt As the tide of life rolls out at will The tidal bore rolls up the shore The mercy of God is new once more Mercy of God, wash over me My heart is stained, O please forgive And all my desires, all of my pride Cleanse with your river Flood with your tide. Ever changing ebb and flow The heights of joy the depths of sorrow Today, O God my anchor’s set Your faithful love I’ll not forget I will not withhold my praise My heart be soft all my days My refuge God, will be in you Trusting you to lead me through Russ Rosen ©1999 Arrows in the Hand Music Admin. by Big Tree Publishing

There is love, there is peace There is joy that will not cease In the courts of the King That is where I find release I will dance, I will sing Make my life an offering In the courts of the King That is where I will bring My gift of love Singing, I love you Lord In your presence I feel adored Yes your love Wraps round me Lord In your presence I can hear your word Your gift of Love In your arms I can hear Your pounding heart, draw me near To know your thoughts to feel your pain In your arms I will not fear I will walk, I will speak Show your truth that men might seek For the courts of the King That is where I will bring My gift of love Russ Rosen ©1993 Arrows in the Hand Music Admin. by Big Tree Publishing

I will walk through the curtain That you tore in your grief I will come to the table I will sit with you and I will eat I will live in your presence I will walk in your ways I will celebrate all your goodness I will always seek your face For you love me With a love that won’t let go And a thousand times I know You’ve told me so Yes you love me with a love that won’t let go And a thousand times I know You’ve told me so You say, “I love you” You say, “I love you” You say, “I love you You are my child” Russ Rosen © 1992 Arrows in the Hand Music Admin. by Big Tree Publishing
