SCHALIACH - Sonrise (teksty oryginalne) 1. THE LAST CREED
Lyrics: Robert Joseph
Music: Ole Borud
Like a dust in the wind
A man's heart goes unseen
His labors forgotten at the threshold of time
The grass withers, the flowers fades
But the world of his testimony stands forever
The man's honor was his love
Faithfullness - his pledge
But his memory - a pearl to the swine
One man walked tall
Faced the devil wwith his back against the wall
To the ground, the blood ran off his fingers
Scorched from fire in his bones
Yet today, his last thought lingers
Around his neck, against his heart
He wore a silver cross
- He knew what freedom cost
His voice only an echo in the wind
Freed those golden shackles
A child of time no more
A mirror of the crimson thorn
That the man of sorrow wore
He gave unselfishly
<<Loved not his life so much
As to shrink from death>>
The devil stole his life, love
But not hope of his soul
If he'd only died in her arms
His dream would have been complete
Yet can such love dwell in a man
If God is his witness, I know it can
Would you plant the seed
Of that martyr's last creed
Proclaim God's gospel
Raise your head, heed his hope
Did You stand by the week
Whom the angels serve
Will you dare to hold
A martyrs hand
And guide the unseen host
Who with him stand
Will you share that vision at death's door
Stand proud by his side
To serve the Lord
2. YOU MAINTAIN
Lyrics & Music: Ole Borud
You maintain that I am dead
You neglect the words I said
You maintain there's no Divinity
You have chosen ideology
That has left you blind
You maintain there is no evidence
To prove that I'm behind your existence
You maintain there is no truth in Me
You avoid the possibility
That I gave you life
You cannot see that
I sustain everything
I am the origin
I am the author of life
I'm your creator
Surely you think you know what's best
But your mind just won't give you rest
Your heart is filled with hopelessness
By reason of your emptiness
You'r in need of love
You must belive that (chorus)
Blinded by pride
You shut Me outside
You could be free
If you would just listen to Me
Your void can be filled with My love
A love I proved through Jesus Christ My Son
He died so that you could be set free
And understand what life is meant to be
Truth can be revealed
Then you'll see that (chorus)
3. IN MEMORIAM (instrumental)
Music: Ole Borud
This song is dedicaded to all the children
Who end their life before they can see
The light of day. Abortion is murder.
4. A FATHER'S MOURNING
Lyrics: Ole Borud
Music: Ole Borud & Peter Dalbakk
I cried when you left home
I shed my tears alone
I once held you in mu arms
And I kept you warm
We were so close, a father to son
But now you aare gone
(chorus)
Please tell me why you had to leave me
I still wonder why
One thing I know, I will be waiting
For your return
Your heart is slowly growing cold
Your spirit is dying, wasting your soul
Losing hope, strangled by feaaar
Still yoou choose to live a lie
Dou you not belive I could still love you?
Well, I proved it on a cross
(chorus)
Don't walk away
There is a room made for you
You belong to me
I still love you
5. A WHISPER FROM HEAVEN (instrumental)
Music: Ole Borud & Peteer Dalbakk
Can you hear the whisper form heaven?
God is calling you...
6. ON A DIFFRENT DAY
Lyrics: Ole Borud & Peter Dalbakk
Music: Ole Borud
On a diffrent day I enter the road
To the old Jerusalem
I'm starting to walk the road as I can hear
The sound of a joyfull noise
I see a crowd of people wwho's gathered
Around a man who looks so poor
That I never imagined could exist
His dirty body is only covered
With the shreds of his clothes
He is propably one of the homeless, a beggar
The lowest of them all
Yet he behaves like the most happy man
I've ever heard or seen
I can see his face, smiling and laughing
But I don't knoww why
The people around him is telling me
That this man has been healed
His whole life he has been blind
But now he can see
I say:
<<Who has healed this man?>>
His name is Jesus, they say He is the Messiah
The Son of God, the Prince of peace
Sent down to earth to wash us clean from sin
So we can see the light of day
No matter what wrong you have done
He can forgive you from it all
Hust call His name and you will see
Belive in Jesus, and all your sins must flee
So I asked the man: <<where can I find
Jesus, the son of God?>>
He sain: <<they nailed Him to a cross,
They fulfilled the prophecies,
That a man would die and rise again
On the third day
And that he would pay the price of guilt
Through a blood covenant
I have seen His face, He is alive
He has shown me His nail-marks
He said: go into all the world
And preach good news
God loves mankind>>
7. COMMING OF THE DAWN (instrumental)
Music: Ole Borund
The comming of the dawn is near.
The Master will return...
8. SONRISE
Lyrics & Music: Ole Borund
Walking up the hill
To be crucified
Carrying a cross on His shoulder
He is a thorn apart
Body weakening
Carrying the sins of all the world
As He dies
Entering the kingdom of death
Taking the key
Sonset
The sky is black
The darkness takes autjority
Sonset
Their hearts are black
They killed the Son of God
Three days after death
Mary takes the oil
Langing to anoint Jesus body
She arrives the place
Only to find out
The stone is rolled away
And the body gone
Why did she seek the living among the dead
He had risen from His death-bed
Sonrise
An empty grave
Only His garments were left
Sonrise
The prince paid
Blood has been shared
Sonrise
The Light is back
And it will never fade away
Sonrise
He brings us back
To the author of life
I am relased from death
Light of life
Light of love
Shine on me
