All-Consuming Fire

Written by Shai Linne

Verse 1

God's wrath is a perfection for which He should be adored

A passion for this message: yes it needs to be restored

He has holy reflexes towards the evil He abhors

Cats who don't respect Him will receive His lethal sword

The mass prefers the pleasures that sin easily affords

Our blasphemous affections are the reason we're at war

We should be in awe, His sweetness should keep us floored

Sin's radical infection is the reason we get bored

Repeatedly we snore, He's frequently ignored

We explore evil lusts leaving us greedy for more

The Master's recollection of our evil He records

We have zero protection because He is keeping score

It's bad for every section, there's no passing His inspection

Because we're lacking the perfection that we need to be secure

Everlasting dissection: the unbeliever's reward

Disaster for rejection of the truth- Jesus is Lord!

Chorus

God is an all-consuming fire

Burning away all false desires soon

He's gonna burn it away, the holy furnace will blaze

Eternal the days, Somebody come on

They're longing for mountains and rocks to be falling

Please don't refuse the One who's calling you

He's calling you, He's warning you

Whatcha gonna do? Somebody come on

Verse 2

The Lord is speaking through His prophecies and all of His commands

Unequaled in His qualities, He's awesome and He's grand

He's regal and His policies are gloriously planed

He's peeping the idolatry that's all over the land

How people in society ignore the Son of Man

By seeking their autonomy, they are caught in a trance

But He will put a stop to the evil and apostasy,

The devious hypocrisy, the fallenness of man

We're teaching you theology so y'all can understand

Page 2: All-Consuming Fire - shai linne · Written by Shai Linne Verse 1 Tune in with concentration as we resume the conversation The loftiest thoughts conceivable for human contemplation

According His plans: the slaughter of the damned

Unspeakable reality to fall into His hands

No sequels, it's finality and awful is the span

No weeping or apologies, no sneakiness or bribery

will keep the Lord from honoring His law and its demands

We're pieces of His pottery- He causes us to stand

His people see Him properly- exalted is the Lamb!

Chorus

Verse 3

In the Bible, God's wrath- we see it openly explained

So mindful of its gravity, this poetry is plain

A frightful catastrophe, His foes will be in pain

Stifled, their anatomy and souls will be sustained

Recycled supernaturally and locally contained

The spiteful would be glad to see God's potency restrained

Noticeably profane, they're supposed to be ashamed

They joke like it's a game, they're woefully deranged

Maniacal, they're actually opposed to Jesus' reign

His rightful mastery of the whole of His domain

Not tribal, but massively and globally ordained

He died to make us happily devoted to His fame

His rivals with their strategies, the prideful with their apathy

Their idols and their blasphemies will only see the flames

Denial of His majesty is totally insane

The title of His masterpiece is "Holy is His name"!

Chorus

Refrain

God's wrath is coming, God's wrath is coming!

Christ is coming on the clouds, see the crowds running!

God's wrath is coming, God's wrath is coming!

Behold the Lamb in His might and the sight is stunning!

God's wrath is coming, God's wrath is coming!

All the wicked will be punished at the final judgment!

God's wrath is coming, God's wrath is coming!

He's gonna vindicate His name at the second coming!

Faithful God

Written by Shai Linne and Chris Lee Cobbins

Chorus

Who is like You? You're the Faithful One

Lord, You saved us when you gave your Son

And You keep us so we will not fall

You're faithful, God

We're so thankful we can call you Friend

You redeemed us and made us whole again

You're the only one we know to call

You're so faithful, God

Bridge

You are faithful, never changing

From age to age, you remain the same and

Your steadfast love endures forever

Verse 1

Father God we come now before You

We were made to bow down and adore You

We're filled with thankfulness because of Your faithfulness

To Your Word and we've found that it's all true

To Your face, Lord, we turn in amazement

In Your grace, You determined to save men

From sin's consequence because of Your promises

In Jesus Christ, which are "yes" and they're "amen"

When Adam sinned, You provided a covering

You heard Israel cry in their suffering

You brought them out of the land with Your powerful hand

Lord, You're truly the God of the covenant

Even though You dropped clues, they were missing it

From here, we can see the true significance

All Your acts of might were shadows and types

To point ahead to a future deliverance

From the things You say, You don't budge

You're faithful to save and You're faithful to judge

The God who is just is not one of us

The faithful God is the God we can trust

We can't trust us, on You we rely

Page 4: All-Consuming Fire - shai linne · Written by Shai Linne Verse 1 Tune in with concentration as we resume the conversation The loftiest thoughts conceivable for human contemplation

Everything we need, Lord, You will supply

Even when we're faithless, You remain faithful

You cannot deny Yourself

Chorus

Bridge

Verse 2

Lord, thanks for Your grace and Your favor

Your faithfulness we've tasted and savored

Your love and care for us is most clear to us

when we're beholding the face of the Savior

The Human race as a whole was infected

But for those You have chosen, elected

You made a promise and it was accomplished when

The chief cornerstone was rejected

We see Him dying on the cross for our evil

Where He appeared to be soft and feeble

In actuality, He holds the galaxies

in His hands- He's exalted and regal

When we believed, You were faithful to save us

And that means You'll be faithful to change us

And the Spirit of Jesus will keep us 'til

You make us holy and blameless

From the things You say, You don't budge

You're faithful to save and You're faithful to judge

The God who is just became one of us

The faithful God is the God we can trust

We can't trust us- on You we rely

Everything we need, Lord, You will supply

Even when we're faithless, You remain faithful

You cannot deny Yourself

Judge of All The Earth

Written by Shai Linne

Verse 1

Tune in with concentration as we resume the conversation

The loftiest thoughts conceivable for human contemplation

Trying to search the mysteries of the divine is real deep

And when it comes to the nature of God, at times we still sleep

We must risk people tuning us out as we discuss this

The topic on the table for reflection? God's Justice

The Scriptures are clear: salvation belongs to God alone

And that righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne

He's the priceless gift and treasure, all life exists for His pleasure

And He is the standard by which all righteousness should be measured

All human judges fail- no need to share the statistics

But God judges perfectly due to His characteristics

First, He's omniscient, so He never lacks information

Secondly, His understanding: it has no limitations

Plus He knows the thoughts and all the motives behind them

And no one could ever go hide in a place where the Sovereign LORD cannot find them

When passing a sentence, He has the power of execution

The proper retribution for our private revolutions

And He's in the position to smash us for our treason

No one'll be copping pleas when God dispatches all His legions

To execute the sentence on resolute defendants

Who rejected the truth because they never knew repentance

And those who stood against the Great I Am and His Anointed

When God judges the nations through the Man He has appointed

Chorus

The Judge of all the earth shall do right

The Judge of all the earth shall do right

He is good and His ways are just

Worthy of our faith and trust

The Judge of all the earth shall do right

Verse 2

As we continue to consider this particular perfection

Let's take a second to address a few misconceptions

When many think of God they assume His love is a must

That's true, but it doesn't negate the fact that God is just

Page 6: All-Consuming Fire - shai linne · Written by Shai Linne Verse 1 Tune in with concentration as we resume the conversation The loftiest thoughts conceivable for human contemplation

So when we say this, they'll wanna take us off the play list

But God is never under obligation to be gracious

See, justice and mercy are two separate categories

And God is the one who chooses which way He'll have His glory

The choices The Holy One certainly can't be faulted

In punishing the guilty, His righteousness is exalted

He also rewards the righteous, we kind of/ sort of like this

The problem of course is that nobody who's born is righteous

Because of Adam's descendants are inherently filthy

That's problematic for a God who will not clear the guilty

If God is gonna save us and demonstrate what His love is

It must be in a manner that's consistent with His justice

Jesus Christ, The Righteous One, the perfect solution

Proving that God is just on the basis of substitution

Perfect obedience, consecration without a flaw

Yet, on the cross He suffered the condemnation of the law

So now God is able to be just and the justifier

Of all who turn from their sin and place their trust in Messiah

The resurrected Lord is our infinite treasure truly

He gives us new eyes to see His justice in all its beauty!

Chorus

Lord of Patience

Written by Shai Linne and Melissa Thorpe

Verse 1

Heavenly Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus

It's because of His righteousness that we pray You receive this

Lord, you're holy, we shouldn't even be in Your presence

Due to our sin, we don't deserve the least of Your blessings

But through the cross and believing that Jesus is risen

Even the worst of sinners can be redeemed and forgiven

I'm living proof when I say this and these are truthful statements

You're beautiful when displaying Your unusual patience

You take the blasphemous- pridefully stuck in our blindness

Instead of smashing us, decided to love us with kindness

Even with unbelievers facing Your terror, You slow up

Like when You waited patiently in the era of Noah

We know that with You, a day is just like a thousand years

So does that mean for every sin, You cry a thousand tears?

Who can record Your graces? Adored through scores of ages

Your reward is the nations, for You are the Lord of patience

Chorus

Our Sovereign God, You are

The Lord of Patience, yeah

Your wrath, Oh God, we deserve

Christ has taken, yeah

Gracious God, You are

Slow to anger, yeah

You're Lord of patience and

You love us patiently

Verse 2

Lord, we worship You, we know that everything we owe You

And when we reflect on the time before we came to know You

How we were unbelievers committing tons of treason

We had a hundred reasons why we wouldn't come to Jesus

But they were all excuses because our thoughts were useless

That's what the dark produces, Father, You already knew this

We were foolish and clueless, just as ruthless as Judas

Who knew that You would choose to pursue us and move to woo us

Page 8: All-Consuming Fire - shai linne · Written by Shai Linne Verse 1 Tune in with concentration as we resume the conversation The loftiest thoughts conceivable for human contemplation

So after waiting with patience as we would run from You

You activated our faith so that we would come to You

Your law exposed our sin so that we would know the danger

And take refuge in the Holy Savior who's slow to anger

And as our teary eyes beheld the cross of our King

We understood the true meaning of long-suffering

Who can record Your graces? Adored through scores of ages

Your reward is the nations, for You are the Lord of patience

Chorus

Verse 3

And now that we're in Christ, the thing that is amazing to us

Is that You still continue to display Your patience to us

Through all our stumbles and falls and our idolatry

Through all our grumbling and all of our hypocrisy

Our self-righteousness, with brothers and sisters we're hostile

Our unforgiveness- all because we're just missing the gospel

We should be slow to anger, but Your Word- we're slow to hear it

Oh Father, help us please! We truly need Your Holy Spirit!

He is the only Person who can shape this fruit within us

We praise the risen Savior who is able to present us

Without an ounce of blame, with zero doubt or shame

Lord Jesus, down You came from heaven to announce Your reign

In the hearts of Your people, and now we have the truth

And gladly choose to praise You for all of Your attributes

Who can record Your graces? Adored through scores of ages

Your reward is the nations, for You are the Lord of patience

Chorus

Mercy and Grace

Written by Shai Linne and Timothy Brindle

Verse 1 (Shai Linne)

I gotta say this, God is gracious

That's not just a doctrine statement, but my heartfelt proclamation

Of a God who saves men without obligation

From sin's domination and the bonds of Satan

Nobody sins in moderation

That's obvious from our evil thoughts to our conversation

We were dead, we needed more than an operation

We had to be brought out the grave and made alive, awakened

It's quite amazing how in salvation

Each person of the Trinity contributes like a compilation

The Father elected me, Jesus bled for me

And regeneration is the Holy Spirit's confirmation

So we repent of our abominations

Consecration to the God who's exalted above the constellations

The observation of the congregation is

God is gracious with a lot of patience, so we gotta praise Him!

Chorus

We'll forever praise His mercy and grace

Praise the Lord for His mercy and grace

His mercy and grace

And Christ took the curse in our place

Praise the Lord for His mercy and grace (repeat)

Verse 2 (Shai Linne)

When I speak of God's mercy, I'm speaking of His tendency

To tenderly express empathy towards His enemies

Whether it be mentally or outright obscenity

We effectively deserve hell for our enmity

Adam left a legacy of sin, since we share in his pedigree

We therefore share in his destiny

If God didn't intervene, we'd all perish eventually

In His great mercy, He gave us the remedy

Christ lived sinlessly, then He paid the penalty

His assassination was public like John Kennedy

Rose on the third day, exalted to the heavenlies

Repent and see your sins will be deleted from His memory

Page 10: All-Consuming Fire - shai linne · Written by Shai Linne Verse 1 Tune in with concentration as we resume the conversation The loftiest thoughts conceivable for human contemplation

Gain a new identity, eternal serenity

Now it's clear we should "volunteer" like Tennessee

To spread His fame endlessly, the message is essentially

A merciful God sent His Son to set sinners free!

Chorus

Verse 3 (Timothy Brindle)

In mercy, Christ saw our wretched condition

But instead of giving us death for our sinning

In grace, His blood paid the debt that's infinite

Now resurrected with Christ and blessed because we're in Him

Mercy: Christ turned the Father's anger

Grace: Christ earned us all His favor

And since Christ kept the precepts of the law

Because of His perfection, we're accepted by God!

Real righteousness He gladly gives us

The Father happily lavishes this

Instead of filthy rags, our Dad's forgiveness

The ultimate story of rags to riches!

His grace displayed in saving the worst men

Behold, God's riches of grace are a Person (Jesus)

Christ, the fountain abounding in His grace

Over my foul sin and mountains of mistakes

In pleasure He's immeasurably gracious

Now we're seated with Jesus in the heavenly places

Plus His Spirit's the strength that will change Tim

He daily gives the grace of sanctification

Forever we'll praise the I Am

Who gave us grace in the Lamb before the ages began

So Shai, with that, resume the chorus

Because of the cross, all His attributes are for us!

Chorus

Refrain

Shai: Yo Tim, that was a bangin' verse, b

Tim: Nah, remember, I'm a sinner saved by mercy

Shai: What's mercy?

Tim: It's not getting what we deserve

Because Christ already suffered the judgment and curse

Page 11: All-Consuming Fire - shai linne · Written by Shai Linne Verse 1 Tune in with concentration as we resume the conversation The loftiest thoughts conceivable for human contemplation

But Shai, yo, you blazed it ace!

Shai: Praise God, I'm just a sinner saved by grace

Tim: Well, define grace

Shai: Our redemption price immense

Both: Grace stands for God's Riches At Christ's Expense!

Page 12: All-Consuming Fire - shai linne · Written by Shai Linne Verse 1 Tune in with concentration as we resume the conversation The loftiest thoughts conceivable for human contemplation

Perfect Love

Written by Shai Linne and Monielle Laney

Verse 1

Now let's get straight to the topic, God's love is weighty to process

And apart from the Holy Spirit, we're unable to digest

Because man's depraved in his logic, so God's haters will mock it

But inter-trinitarian love should make us astonished

Imagine the Son enjoying the embrace of His Father

Eternally paying Him homage as He bathed in His knowledge

Equally faithful and sovereign, gracious, patient and honest

Cosmic greatness blazing with radiance- conscious

Holy Spirit also present, full display of His God-ness

No creation could watch this- it wasn't safe for their optics

What an awesome scene in heaven with all esteem and reverence

It's Psalm 16:11 as conveyed through the prophet

Overflow of joy and love, the Father made Him a promise

To give His Son a people to liberate from their bondage

So they're no longer slaves and hostages, but blameless and spotless

Consequence of eternal love- our salvation's accomplished!

Chorus

Love so perfect

Love eternally

Unchanging, Holy, Righteous Love

Transcends our understanding

But in Your nature there is perfect love

Love so perfect

Love eternally

Unchanging, Holy, Righteous Love

Transcends our understanding

But in salvation there is perfect love

Verse 2

Now it's one thing to consider God's love that's within

But how could God's love extend to men corrupted with sin?

Because we certainly don't deserve it, He's perfect and we're imperfect

What's lurking beneath the surface? His mercy and deeper purpose

Made in His likeness, installed with reminders of His law

Despite our blindness from the fall, His kindness reaches all

The fact He allows the sun to rise on this evil planet

Page 13: All-Consuming Fire - shai linne · Written by Shai Linne Verse 1 Tune in with concentration as we resume the conversation The loftiest thoughts conceivable for human contemplation

Means that His love is such that we can't even understand it

In other words, don't let traditions fool ya, gotta let them Scriptures school ya

As a matter of fact, see how Christ reacted when it came to the rich young ruler

Love explicit, if it isn't His love, what is it

Restricting Him from inflicting His vengeance on the wicked?

Some call it common grace, but I'm inclined to state

that it's the love of God shining from a place that beyond time and space

They say, "If God is love, what's eternal torment for?"

Well, He loves the world for sure, but He loves His glory more!

Chorus

Verse 3

Perhaps the most misunderstood aspect of this subject

Would be the love of God that He expresses towards the elect

And the second some people hear that, they get mad inside

But it's a special kind of love the Husband has for His Bride

It's a love that distinguishes her and sets her apart

No other woman could ever have the same effect on His heart

Because this Groom is not adulterous, this marriage has no openness

His devotion is traced back to when the world was motionless

In love we were predestined for adoption as a son

Not for anything that we've done, check Ephesians chapter one

Look, when we lived as God's opponents, He gave His only Son for atonement

So we've got to see He can't possibly love us more than He does this moment

In love, He justified us, in love, He sanctifies us

So we don't have to jump through hoops to try to make Him like us

One thing we truly cannot fathom- we're stunned

The Father loves us with the very love He has for His Son!

Chorus

Perfection of Beauty

Written by Blair Linne

Beauty is sold in exchange for a "dime"

Nothing to attract us to You, yet we worship Your creation as fine

Captivated by its forbidden fruit

Pleasing our senses, so we suppress the truth

And eat the lie

Media's fig leaf deadening our soul and mind

Sin blinding us to You

The only objective Beauty that's truly absolute

Hidden in the symmetry of Your goodness, glory and truth

Each attribute working harmoniously

Justice with patience, wrath with graciousness

Omnipotence with humility, long-suffering with faithfulness

Each a note to a sweet melody

The ultimate hymn entitled "God's Beauty"

Immutable, no change

Because "dimes" get lost daydreaming in dark gutters

Unable to hear the call to wake up

They, the noose, dripping honeysuckle

Lips pasted on with Mac makeup

If they truly beheld Your beauty

You'd make magazines and Mattell go bankrupt

You sent Your Beloved to be lifted up

On a beautiful, seemingly ugly cross

The visible image of Your hiddenness

Only You are beautiful and yet invisible

True beauty is spiritual

Therefore, sanctify our worldly minds

Your complexion is unappealing to lustful eyes

Besides, apart from new birth in Christ

Sinners beholding Your Holy beauty would die

Therefore, beauty residing in the eye of the beholder is a lie

It is found in the Beautiful One- The Most High

Page 15: All-Consuming Fire - shai linne · Written by Shai Linne Verse 1 Tune in with concentration as we resume the conversation The loftiest thoughts conceivable for human contemplation

Self-Sufficiency

Written by Timothy Brindle

Verse 1

Creatures, there's none awesome

Like Yahweh, the only Uncaused One

Nah, none put Him into existence, see

He always was His own sufficiency

His glory- He knows it perfectly

No need of time- He is His own eternity

True indeed, there's nothing that You would need

As a Triune, loving community

The “I AM”—tells His famous NAME

From the burning bush—the self-sustaining flame

Free in sovereignty—there’s no doubtin'

He is all He needs—His own FOUNTAIN!

You need none-You’re independent

Impossible for You to have discontentment

Because in Yourself—You’re full of pleasure

Oh God, You are Your own Holy treasure!

Chorus

In Yourself, You have all power and might

In Yourself, You are the fountain of life

With no lack—none else can give to Thee

You're fulfilled in Your self-sufficiency

(repeat)

Verse 2

To speak of God in need would be absurd

As Tozer said, “need is a creature word”

Worthy of authentic worship

We can’t add to God- He’s already perfect

But Father, Spirit, Son, yes—all of You

Chose to create—just because You wanted to

Even though LORD—You don’t need us

It pleased You to show Your glory to creatures

The Son—the Word of Life- He speaks forth

The Spirit—the Breath of Life- no weak force!

Of all Life—the living God is the source

Page 16: All-Consuming Fire - shai linne · Written by Shai Linne Verse 1 Tune in with concentration as we resume the conversation The loftiest thoughts conceivable for human contemplation

So to create—He needed no resource

How we love this profound discussion

That God made all things out of nothing!

Ex Nihilo!

How may tools did You use to create? Yup, it's zero bro!

It pleased You to create, by shoutin'

Into existence every lake and mountain

And snake and falcon

Then You made human beings and with the greatestfavor crowned them

You sustain all things—a gracious fountain!

Providing rain by gallons for daisies sproutin’

But all of this didn’t add anything to God—

Absolutely nothing changed about Him!

Chorus

Verse 3

Yo this is hectic

Since Adam disrespected Him who is the blessed

From the life of God, we're disconnected

We turn to idols for life- we're wicked, wretched

And we're all disgusting, evil in our flesh

And God would be just to leave us in our death

And there's only One who can reconnect us

To the source of life and oh, He is precious!

The LORD can give life or choose to kill

The Lord Christ gives life to whom He will

Because, like the Father, He has life in Himself

So He is the resurrection, I’m hyper to tell

Behold the infinite love of Jehovah

For wicked, lifeless sinners—bubblin’ over!

When the Author of Life done offered His life

Upon the cross- it’s God slaughtered and sliced

The Immortal One became mortal to die

Born to be torn for our horrible lies,

And sexual immorality

So trade Him your death--for His Immortality

The death of death in the death of Christ

Now we live with Him in resurrection life

Now we’re righteous because Christ was crushed

The Holy Spirit is Christ’s life in us

By the Word of Life, we’re alive and we’re full

It’s renewing our minds—and reviving our soul!

Page 17: All-Consuming Fire - shai linne · Written by Shai Linne Verse 1 Tune in with concentration as we resume the conversation The loftiest thoughts conceivable for human contemplation

So come daily to the Giver of this Life

And drink deeply from His River of Delights

When making mistakes or faint in our strength

From His fulness receive grace upon grace

From lifeless idols, let’s turn to Christ

Who is Himself the eternal life!

Chorus 2

In Yourself, You have all power and might

In Yourself, You are the fountain of life

Even though the Father doesn't need us

Yet to You, God, we’re worth the blood of Jesus!

Chorus 3

In Yourself, You have all power and might

In Yourself, You are the fountain of life

So savor the Savior

Because to know Him is the Life we were made for!

Taste and See

Written by Shai Linne

Chorus:

If you've tasted and seen, then you know what I mean, He's GOOD!

In His nature, His love, everything that He does, He's GOOD!

Even when it gets tough, yes the Lord is enough, He's GOOD!

Yes, God makes it plain through the Lamb who was slain, He's GOOD!

Verse 1

The world is not subtle, why should we be subliminal?

When it comes to goodness, our God is at the pinnacle

If God is approving it, then it's good- that's the principle

Humanity is minimal, the Lord is the original

Fountain of benevolence, boundless in measurement

Abounding in blessedness, there's mountains of evidence

Found in the testaments, resounding these sentiments

We drown in His benefits from towns to the settlements

His goodness expressed in the natural and physical

From rocks and minerals to toxic chemicals

Stop being cynical, not trying to be traditional

But God is good all the time- no intervals

While doubters and pessimists clown what He represents

His smiles toward the penitent endowed us with better sense

Now that we've been convinced, we shout without hesitance

Crown His excellency now and forever friends!

Chorus

Verse 2

Understand God is good apart from anything He's done for me

Yet and still His goodness has blessed me abundantly

I'll try to give a summary beginning with with His love for me

In sending Christ to die yes, the blood of Jesus covers me

Our years, He can make them new, our fears He's awakened to

He hears when we're praying and He's there when the payment's due

His Spirit enables you to fear Him and praise Him through

the tears, we can say it's true, He's near when we're breaking too

Whether we are suffering or living in luxury

His works toward His people are all done lovingly

They're never done stubbornly or with a hint of drudgery

Page 19: All-Consuming Fire - shai linne · Written by Shai Linne Verse 1 Tune in with concentration as we resume the conversation The loftiest thoughts conceivable for human contemplation

Every single sunrise provides a new discovery

It's clear what He came to do- seers like Isaiah knew

He'd appear as a baby who was reared as a faithful Jew

then pierced for a shady crew, appeared in plainest view,

So here's what's we're made to do, revere Him because praise is due!

Chorus

Verse 3

Peep this and listen, the keys in the ignition

The goodness of God can be seen in His provision

In each of His decisions, He's leaving the inscription

That it's needless and grievous just to keep Him in derision

It's cool to know His goodness never changes- immutable

It's true when we can't explain this- He's inscrutable

And we are not delusional, these facts are indisputable

I know it sounds unusual, I'll show you how it's provable

Adam and Eve had freedom with one restriction

Satan deceived them, from Eden received eviction

To leave us in a greasy condition with sleazy addictions

But Jesus' afflictions frees those believing He's risen

God's goodness seen at the cross- irrefutable

On this gospel truth we will stand- immovable

And glorify God for His goodness- it's suitable

Just because it's a duty? No! Simply because He's beautiful!

The Glory of God

Written by Shai Linne

Chorus:

Not to us, not to us

But to Your name be the glory!

(repeat)

Verse 1

Let us begin: How should we start?

Brightness shining out of the dark

It shines in our hearts, providing a spark

His might incites the light to impart

Takes us back to Genesis 1

Angels clapped, and hymns- they were sung

Face the facts- He's second to none

In the beginning positioned the sun

Up in the sky, hovering high

The light's too bright, cover your eyes

Type of sights that none can devise

This Righteous Knight is lovely and wise

It's seen in the stars

Seen in the galaxies, seen in quasars

Neptune, Uranus and Pluto and Jupiter

Mercury, Saturn and Venus and Mars

Back to the earth, it shows in the trees

Each of the leaves blows in the breeze

Locusts and bees, ocean and seas

All the result of Jehovah's decrees

Observe the way His Word creates

Preserves and shapes, determines fates

Reverberates at urgent rates

The earth- it shakes with fervent quakes!

Imagine it

I can't explain the half of it

Our brains can't even fathom it

And language is inadequate

To characterize the Lord on the throne

With spiritual eyes, His story is known

From Him and through Him and to Him is everything

Surely to God be the glory alone!

Page 21: All-Consuming Fire - shai linne · Written by Shai Linne Verse 1 Tune in with concentration as we resume the conversation The loftiest thoughts conceivable for human contemplation

Chorus

Verse 2

Let us consider the God who is there

Possessing a glory that's not to be shared

God versus anyone- not even fair

How could you dare to try to compare

The Self-existent, Self-sufficient

Omnipotent, Beneficent

Faithful God whose Word we can trust

Perfectly Holy and perfectly just

His beauty, there's no end to it

Transcendence is infinite

Knowledge and wisdom- intricate

Steadfast love is intimate

We see in His laws- He is the Boss

Nothing about Him is evil or false

Pure perfection, zero flaws

All of His attributes meet at the cross!

The place where Jesus Christ was smashed

To satisfy God's righteous wrath

Rose from the grave on my behalf

Through faith in Christ, He lights our path

Makes believers part of His fam

How does a Holy God pardon a man?

Perhaps even harder to understand:

From the beginning was part of His plan!

Imagine it

I can't explain the half of it

Our brains can't even fathom it

And language is inadequate

To characterize the Lord on the throne

With spiritual eyes, His story is known

From Him and through Him and to Him is everything

Surely to God be the glory alone!

The Holiness of God (Reprise)

Our God Is In The Heavens

Written by S. Linne and B. Davis

Chorus

Our God is in the heavens

He does whatever He pleases! (repeat)

Verse 1 (Shai Linne)

The Sovereign LORD, Great I AM recognize the name!

He's always on top of His game, a Lion that simply cannot be tamed

And no, He is not restrained at all- nobody can stop His reign

So why do the nations rage and all of the peoples plot in vain?

Their sin and offense is against His excellence and they're not ashamed

As though He's lacking the power to shackle them now in the hottest flames

And so they cock and aim- the target? His cosmic reign

That's like a kid with a super soaker trying to conquer Spain!

Man thinks he's a pugilist, trying to ball up his puny fist

At the LORD, who is ruling this

What's amusing is God just laughs, like "Who is this"?

Stupid kids who persist in foolishness

It's only by God's power you exist

Now you declare war on the LORD

When before you were born, He formed you in the uterus?

Look- Our God is in the heavens and He does all that He pleases

He's established His King in Zion and His name is Jesus!

Chorus

Verse 2 (God's Servant)

Our God is up in the heavens and the seat at His right hand

That's given to rule and reign is where Jesus the Christ lands

And He sits preeminent, He originates the right stance

Impossible for Him to fail, no there's not even a slight chance

Constructor and Conductor, leaving the men amazed and saying

"What manner of man is this that even the winds and waves obey Him?"

From His purpose of election, and to birth, to our perfection

He has ordained it and He decrees and works by His direction

He never will suffer defeat, He's precisely the Truth and the Life and the Way

So even when He died, they never took His life but He gave His life away

To see when they crucified Him, nobody had imagined it

Not only was a part of the plan to save but the climax of it

Page 24: All-Consuming Fire - shai linne · Written by Shai Linne Verse 1 Tune in with concentration as we resume the conversation The loftiest thoughts conceivable for human contemplation

He's gonna get glory, we're created to be His instruments

His reign's inexhaustible- His rule is truly infinite

Chorus

Verse 3 (Shai Linne)

The perfections of God are not affected at all by human opinion

Everything in the universe is under His control and His rule and dominion

And there's nothing in the world that could ever could come to pass at last unless He first

decreed it

If we dive in His word we can read it, see all of His purposes completed

And as hard as it seems, the heart of the king is a stream of water in His hands

With discernment you'll see God turns it where He's determined according to His plans

You gotta get a focused lens to truly understand where His control extends (everywhere)

And I know that this offends, but the truth is the grossest sins serve His ultimate ends

You might not hear it from your favorite pastor

But He made the wicked for the day of disaster

Sinners unacquainted with the way of the Master

We have to explain what is plain in the chapters

He's sovereign over creation and sovereign over salvation

Including reprobation, regeneration

I wouldn't want to say this if it wasn't based in His revelation

It's kind of stunning, men ignore His throne, the creature's lost it

The time is coming when the Lord alone will be exalted

The Jealous One

Written by Shai Linne and Courtney Peebles

Verse 1

Ok, let's begin- let your mind roam

Our scene takes place inside of a home

The husband has just walked up the staircase

He glares into space with despair on his face

His soul is on fire, inside there's a war

That can’t be denied, He stands outside the door

On the other side, His bride and her lover

Oblivious to the fact their lie has been discovered

So as they embrace and try to make haste

They have no idea what’s about to take place

Gun in hand, he longs to understand

What would lead his wife into the arms of another man?

He thinks back to the day they made their vows

Before God, before the minister and the crowds

Exchange of the rings, the joy of the reception

Now a tainted memory destroyed by deception

He had been faithful to her

Now the fire of his desire got him ready to do something hateful to her

He never thought his wife would be just a faker

And that her lust would make her a covenant breaker

The promise of fidelity they made was glorious

But now His jealousy has made him furious

And they can't see the danger

No screams or pleas they make could ever ease the pain or appease his anger

He kicks open the door- they jump out of the bed

"Don't move!" is all he said, gun pointed at his head

The screams of his wife as she clutches the covers close

Her lover spoke to plead for his life

The husband says to the guy- "Look me in my eye

My face will be the last thing you see before you die"

The husband cried inside- his love was bona fide

Trouble for the bride- double homicide

Chorus

How quickly we are to break the vows we made

As our unbelief leads our hearts astray

How long before He turns His face away?

Page 26: All-Consuming Fire - shai linne · Written by Shai Linne Verse 1 Tune in with concentration as we resume the conversation The loftiest thoughts conceivable for human contemplation

We belong to the Jealous One

We belong to the Jealous One

Whose blood bought us back, whose victory won

Our worship and praise to Him belong

The Jealous One

Verse 2

The God of the Bible who invites our trust

Must be understood to be nothing like us

Most of the time, human jealousy will hurt you

But when comes to God, His jealousy is a virtue

One of His awesome perfections surely

Thunders His law and protects His glory

He gave us the gift of the marriage relationship

to acquaint us with a faint taste of this

A wife for her husband or husband for wife

The only time jealousy is right in this life

But just as the distance is great between earth and stars

God's thoughts are much higher than ours

So His jealousy is on a whole other level

Unintelligible to the soul of a rebel

But in sacred Scripture, God paints the picture

The aim: to shake your frame- it straight convicts ya

And that's what it should do

God's jealousy is frightful, yet it's delightful and good, too

I couldn't think of much worse if I tried

than a dude who smirks if you flirt with His bride

So tell me, what kind of God would He be

If He wasn't bothered to see idolatry?

Is God just supposed to laugh and withhold His wrath

When He's replaced by a golden calf?

You say, I don't worship a golden calf!

Well for us, it's self and sex and loads of cash

Atrocious paths, we still don't know the half

Of how these things provoke His holy wrath

So we stand in awe and wonder how come

God took His jealous anger out on His Son

So all those trust Him can see like we're supposed to see

And be forgiven for our spiritual adultery!

The Omnis

Written by S. Linne, R. Kennedy and O. Miles

Chorus (Andy Mineo)

Who is like Him? There is none

Triune, Holy three-in-one

When all is said and done

God is amazing, amazing

His power cannot be compared

Exhaustive knowledge none can share

At all times everywhere

God is amazing, amazing yeah

Verse 1- Omnipotence (Giano)

Unlimited, infinite, universal,

Self-evident, this Prince is the newest purple

Reigns suspended in glistening beauty circles

Uninhibited, through His Spirit a new reversal

No rehearsal – yeah, it’s a paradox

But God’s omnipotence isn’t hidden behind a mega-rock

that He couldn’t lift; these critics better stop

New internal physics exhibits He made the petawatt

The sun’s energy, atoms within a laser

Adam needed an angle, Jesus became the center plot

Now that could be geometrically or cinema

Descartes or Demille, emphasis on the “metaphah”

Or metaphor. You get the picture

But consider the depiction of this power, is it fiction?

Does it take prophetic vision, or religion to envision?

Philosophical spiggity speculative admission?

Nah, He’s God anyway, we’ll never break

His code to regenerate, then create, in the face

Of death, in comprehensive grace. Meditate

Venerate this deity speaking degrees centigrade

Now that’s cold ain’t it, better than Joe Namath

God delivers on His promise, you can quote Jacob

Omni-Potence, Omni-Benevolence

Power, Preeminence, bow to His excellence!

Chorus

Verse 2- Omniscience (Omri)

Page 28: All-Consuming Fire - shai linne · Written by Shai Linne Verse 1 Tune in with concentration as we resume the conversation The loftiest thoughts conceivable for human contemplation

Who can fathom His understandin' that fastened the sun to vanish

And fashioned the other planets, imagine it from His vantage

Inhabitants under famines, havin' a stomach famished

He's not missin', if it's happenin' it was managed

With God's vision; His non-endin' cognition

Called omniscience, is harassin' the under-handed

(How?) He sees into the plight - a view of each conscience

And reads into the mind, perusing each thought, when

Even dudes that lie, then move to keep cautious

Heed to ruthless crimes they do, then He hearkens

Peekin' through the blinds of fools in departments

Where evildoers hide in gloom and deep darkness

He knows the future, we see the point is certain since

All things happen by His pre-appointed purposes

Even on the earth was His knowledge so impassable

We see Jesus knowin' both the possible and actual

Whether boastin' in sin or holdin' it in

He'll expose in the end because hearts are open to Him

This theme's addressed in God's word

Observe Proverbs 15:11

Though He knows innocence, the vast and the minutia

He chose an affliction that evidenced true love

Witness omniscience - wrath fell on His true Son

Being crushed for sins, past, present and future

Chorus

Verse 3- Omnipresence (shai linne)

Question: Who is the real treasure and worth?

Answer: The Lord, who fills heaven and earth

God in His essence

Is infinite, transcendent, unlimited exhibited in omnipresence

All things before His eyes are laid bare

As He governs the earth and skies with great care

There's not one sector or section

that's undetected or left unaffected by His perfection

So I don't even need to smell the marijuana stench

To know my God is deeper than the Mariana Trench

The calculation is 36,000 feet

Below sea level- about 7 miles deep

If you got to the bottom without imploding from the weight

God would be waiting there saying, "Yo man, you're late"

Page 29: All-Consuming Fire - shai linne · Written by Shai Linne Verse 1 Tune in with concentration as we resume the conversation The loftiest thoughts conceivable for human contemplation

In the farthest galaxies, my God has the glory

Because distance for God is a non-category

Amazingly, God is able to be

in Haiti and Greece, Jamaica and Sweden

Barbados, New Zealand, Lithuania, Egypt,

Malaysia, Tunisia and the Arabian Sea simultaneously!

Before Him everything is naked and exposed

That means there will be no escaping for His foes

God's presence in His wrath will torment the sinner in hell

But those who trust Christ- with them He will dwell

Forever

Triune Praise (remix)

Written by Shai Linne

Chorus

All praise to the Trinity!

One nature, Three Persons,

Mystery of Divinity

All praise to the Trinity!

All praise to the Trinity!

The same in Your essence,

distinct in Your ministry

I'll stand amazed for the rest of my days

Pouring out my heart in Triune praise

Verse 1

Praise God the Father, the Immortal Creator

For Your glory You made us, You're the Sovereign Orchestrator

All that You decree will most surely come to happen

You're awesome as can be and Your glory none can fathom

Nothing could ever stain You, the heavens can't contain You

We thank You for sending Your Son to explain You

Otherwise we would have remained in the dark

but You sent Your Holy Spirit to spark a change in our hearts

According to Your eternal purpose and will You determined to reveal

Yourself to those who deserve to be killed

Those of us whom You foreknew adore You

We praise You that You predestined us to be conformed to

The image of Your Son who's the radiance of Your glory

When I meditate on it, the weightiness of it floors me

So Father, we'll praise you over and over again

Because You sent Your only Son to atone for our sin!

Chorus

Verse 2

Praise God the Son, Second Person of the Trinity

You're distinct from the Father, yet You share in His divinity

Fulfilling an eternal covenant, You came through

To planet earth to save who? All the Father gave You

Page 31: All-Consuming Fire - shai linne · Written by Shai Linne Verse 1 Tune in with concentration as we resume the conversation The loftiest thoughts conceivable for human contemplation

You became a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief

For the glory of Your Father, You extinguished the beef

That stood between us at the cross- the Father's anger released

The Shepherd slain for the sheep, the situation is deep

I can't find the right language to speak, in fact it's making me weep-

Just the thought of You saving this creep

You're risen from the dead, I still can't get this in my head

How the Judge could leave the bench and go to prison instead

Lord Jesus, You're amazing, Your bleeding is what saved men

It's the reason why we’re praising, can't wait to see Your face

In the meantime, please help us to see You as colossal

And by the Spirit live lives that’s worthy of the gospel

Chorus

Verse 3

Praise God the Holy Spirit, 3rd person of the Trinity

Distinct from Father and Son, yet share in Their divinity

Holy Spirit we praise You, You don't like the spotlight

You'd rather point away from Yourself and give props to Christ

And yet because You're God, You deserve veneration

And You're the One responsible for our regeneration

You apply the finished work of Christ to all the elect

Your call is effectual- You haven't lost one yet

You comfort us when sin and Satan and the world's got us bothered

And it's only by You that we cry out "Abba Father"

You're the Spirit of adoption, the Spirit of Truth

You graciously provide Your people with the gifts and the fruit

You help us kill sin and dis-attach us from our idols

If it wasn't for You, we'd never understand the Bible

Because You wrote it- For our life it will surely suffice

Amazingly, You do it all for the glory of Christ!

Chorus
