It's a new day at last, but you're sinking so fast
If left up to your head, you'd remember the past
But a new day has come and new life has begun
Let the old pass away, reconsider it done
There's got to be a reckoning
When you feel the Spirit beckoning

(Coro)
It's a dead reckoning
Trade the old for the new
It's a dead reckoning
Learn to die daily till the new life comes through
It's a dead reckoning

You've got nothing to lose but you do have to choose
When the Spirit says yes but the flesh wil lrefuse
And although you feel odd there are many who trod
Till they're dead to the world but alive unto God
Some still believe it can't be done
To the steady the race is still won

And the battle is already through
And it's hard to believe but it's true
On a hill long ago where the blood runs below
Died a King, two thieves, and you

"Mal Negocio"

Al fin llego el nuevo día, pero te estas hundiendo tan rápido...
Si dependía de tu mente, recordarías el pasado.
Pero ha llegado un nuevo día, ha comenzado una nueva vida.
Deja que lo viejo pase, dalo por terminado.
Tienes que considerarlo cuando el Espíritu te llama.

Coro:
Es un mal negocio cambiar lo nuevo por lo viejo.
Es un mal negocio.
Aprende a morir cada día hasta que surja la nueva vida.
Es un mal negocio.

No tienes nada que perder, pero si tienes que elegir
cuando el Espíritu dice: "si", pero la carne se niega.
Aunque te sientas extraño, hay muchos que siguen andando
hasta que estén muertos al mundo, pero vivos para Dios.
Algunos todavía creen que no se puede hacer.
Pero los que permanecen tienen ganada la carrera.

Y la batalla ya termino.
Es difícil de creer, pero es cierto.
Hace mucho, sobre un monte,
donde la sangre corrió hacia abajo,
murieron un Rey, dos ladrones y tu.

this album came out in '88 it was the second release with new singer John Schlitz following back to the street and preceeding on fire

[peachestag69]

THIS IS AN AWSOME ALBUM

[janjaapbats]

It's not that we want to fall in sin as christians. We simply have a lack of knowledge about the weapons that we have in our armor arsenal! Like the other Petra songs says: Armed and Dangerous.

[corneloup81]

@mattkshirley Was wondering where all you are, true christians that is, living a crucified life. Adelaide is a small town with only prosperity churches

[mattkshirley]

Christianity promises 2 things. Eternal life and a cross to die on.

And the battle is all ready through. And it's hard to believe but it's true. On a hill long ago were the blood runs below died a King, 2 thieves and you.

There's not room at the cross like so many say.

There is room on it.

[mattkshirley]

That previous message should say. "His desire is to set our life on fire."

2 Timothy 1:7

For God has not given us a Spirit of fear but of Love Power and of sound mind.

I watch a video of a guy from the Romanian revival and he said that when the people realized that they were dead to sin (because they had been crucified with Christ) (Rom 6) (Col 2 :9-15) that's when the revival broke out.

As Jesus said "If any man wishes to come after me let him deny himself, take up his cross and follow Him."

[mattkshirley]

(When our desire is to do right in His sight and change from our sinful ways) & His desire is to set our live on fire. So I asked the Lord to take a shot at me and found myself engulfed in His love. He filled me and I felt like His life had filled me and was pouring out of me as I was a filled vessel. I know I didn't deserve all that Love so I told Him that this was too much and to have some back for himself. After saying this the Lord doubled the intensity.

[mattkshirley]

You've got to tell Him He's free to take a shot

He wants to hit you with everything He's got

A lost and dying world is dying to know

He lives

The only way they'll know what He has to give

Is when we're hit where we live.

I was thinking about this song in about 1993 and realized they went talking about violence and realized where we live is our heart or soul or core of our being so I asked the Lord to take a shot at me as the song said it is His delight to give you your desire...

[mattkshirley]

"Hit you where you live" was another. You want to change - with all of your might You want to do right in His sight Hit you where you live you can't hold it back When you're struck by His love you will know Hit you where you live, it's so close to home When you're all sold out the mark will show Let Him hit you where you live The evidence leads to conviction When we don't live everything we say There's got to be a crucifixion We can live dying everyday

[mattkshirley]

All fired up is a song that the Lord would frequently pour out his Spirit on me when I listened to it. It was like an intense fire of love joy and peace that would fill me and scripture about my cup running over" no longer sounded strange to me but became a reality.

Here some of the lyrics.

I feel my faith renewing - I feel revival brewing

All over the world there's a burning desire

I feel the Church is stirring and it's gonna keep occurring

Till we're all baptized in His Holy Fire.
