THE “GOOD LIFE”
FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
“WHAT THE WORLD NEEDS NOW”
What the world needs now is love sweet love,
It’s the only thing that there’s just too little of.
What the world needs now is love sweet love,
No not just for some but for everyone.
Lord we don’t need another mountain,
There are mountains and hillsides enough to climb,
There are oceans and rivers enough to cross
Enough to last until the end of time
What the world needs now is love sweet love,
It’s the only thing that theres just too little of,
What the world needs now is love sweet love,
No not just for some but for everyone
Lord, we dont need another meadow,
There are corn fields and wheat fields enough to grow,
There are sunbeams and moonbeams enough to shine,
Oh listen Lord, if you want to know
What the world needs now is love sweet love,
It’s the only thing that theres just too little of.
What the world needs now is love sweet love,
No not just for some, oh but just for every every everyone.
what the world (whoa whoa) needs now,
Is love (is love) sweet love
What the world ( oh oh) needs now
Is love (is love) sweet love
What the world (whoa whoa) needs now
Is love (is love) sweet love
(Originally sung by Jackie DeShannon)

“THE POWER ABOVE”
(Parody of “The Power of Love” by Huey Lewis & the News)
The power above is a glorious thing
Baby, one man’s weakness is another man’s strength
Change your heart through a little white dove
The Holy Spirit—has the power above
Thumb through the Bible, and it’s quite clear
You’re stronger and smarter when you have God’s Spirit
If you have Him, good—if you don’t, then why?
The power above can give you a whole new life
And you don’t need money, only faith
Don’t need to sweat it ’cause the price is paid
Yes, all of a sudden in a room sometimes
Then a mighty wind blows by
That’s the power above, that’s the power above
The fruit of the Spirit it’s not grapes of wrath
It’s love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness
And goodness, gentleness, self-control
That’s the power above in the world below
And it don’t take money, only faith
Don’t need to study hard to find these traits
Your soul is a garden—it can bear fruit sometimes
That you’ll find in Galatians 5
The spiritual gifts God prepared
Yeah, for you to share
In First Corinthians (Chapter 12)
You’ll find a list of them
And with a little faith, hope, and love
You’ll feel the power above
Feel the power of above
Can you feel it?
And you don’t need money, only faith
Old Peter said it back in Acts chapter 8
He’s talking to Simon, he talks to us still
You don’t need nothin’ to be filled
Be filled with power, be filled with power above
Got the power? Get the power above
Be filled with power above
Be filled with power above
Be filled with power above

“CAUSALITY”
DEVELOPING HABITS
REMINDERS
WILLPOWER
REFINEMENT
“THE REFINER’S FIRE”
There burns a fire with sacred heat
White hot with holy flame
And all who dare pass through its blaze
Will not emerge the same
Some as bronze, and some as silver
Some as gold, then with great skill
All are hammered by their sufferings
On the anvil of His will
Chorus:
The Refiner’s fire
Has now become my souls desire
Purged and cleansed and purified
That the Lord be glorified
He is consuming my soul
Refining me, making me whole
No matter what I may lose
I choose the Refiner’s fire
I’m learning now to trust His touch
To crave the fire’s embrace
For though my past with sin was etched
His mercies did erase
Each time His purging cleanses deeper
I’m not sure that I’ll survive
Yet the strength in growing weaker
Keeps my hungry soul alive

“HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION”
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He hath said,
You, who unto Jesus for refuge have fled?
In every condition, in sickness, in health;
In poverty’s vale, or abounding in wealth;
At home and abroad, on the land, on the sea,
As thy days may demand, shall thy strength ever be.
Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid;
I’ll strengthen and help thee, and cause thee to stand
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.
When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow;
For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless,
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
When through fiery trials thy pathways shall lie,
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;
The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
Even down to old age all My people shall prove
My sovereign, eternal, unchangeable love;
And when hoary hairs shall their temples adorn,
Like lambs they shall still in My bosom be borne.
The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to its foes;
That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no never, no never forsake.
[ Written by: John Rippon (1787); Performed by: Sovereign Grace Music from their album “Together for the Gospel Live” ]

“HOW YOU REWIND ME”
(Parody of “How You Remind Me” by Nickelback)
I never made it as a lineman
I couldn’t cut it as a Pittsburgh Steeler
I’m tired of losin’ all the time, man
But sin keeps sendin’ my defenses reelin’
And this is how You rewind me
This is how You rewind me up when I’m really bad
This is how You rewind me up when I’m really bad
I’m not like You — I’m so sorry
The world’s waitin’ on a distant glory
Each time I’m mistaken
Lord thanks to You I’m not forsaken
And I’ve been wrong; I’ve been down
But through the problems and every battle
These five words in my head scream “But He isn’t done yet”
Yet, yet, yet, oh no, yet, yet, yet, oh no
It’s not like I didn’t know better
I still don’t want to do the things I still do
It must have been Romans 7
Cause livin’ in me is the sin that killed You
And this is how You rewind me up when I’m really bad
This is how You rewind me up when I’m really bad
Seems all I do is say I’m sorry
You’re Word’s waiting with forgiveness for me
It’s time I put faith in 3:22 in Lamentations
And I’ve been wrong, You bent down
And turned the bottomless pits to potholes
These five words in my head scream “But He isn’t done yet”
Yet, yet, yet, oh no, yet, yet, yet, oh no
Yet, yet, yet, oh no, yet, yet, yet, oh no
I never made it as a nice man
I could be counted as the poor in spirit
And this is how You designed me
This is how You REFINE ME
This is how You rewind me up when I’m really bad
This is how You rewind me up when I’m really bad
You blot out my sins – Isaiah 43
And 1:18 — Your forgiveness floors me
This time I’m just beggin’
Lord can You cure my heart’s frustration?
And I’ve been wrong, I’ve been down
But soon my problems are getting smaller
These five words in my head scream “But He isn’t done yet”
Yet, yet, oh He isn’t done yet,
Yet, yet, oh He isn’t done yet
Yet, yet.

“HOLY SPIRIT RAIN DOWN”
Holy Spirit, rain down, rain down
Oh, Comforter and Friend
How we need Your touch again
Holy Spirit, rain down, rain down
Let Your power fall
Let Your voice be heard
Come and change our hearts
As we stand on Your word
Holy Spirit, rain down
No eye has seen, no ear has heard
No mind can know what God has in store
So open up Heaven, open it wide
Over Your church and over our lives

“SPIRIT INSIDE”
(Parody of “Spirit In The Sky” by Norman Greenbaum)
When He died and was raised from the dead—taught us all 40 days then He said
Well my friends, It’s time to fly, but wait up for the Spirit to arrive
Go wait up for the Spirit from on High
That’s who you’re gonna know when I fly
When I fly and you may be depressed
He’s gonna grow you in faith to pass the test.
Prepare yourselves, but don’t get so rushed—God’ll have a Friend come teach ya
Don’t you know that when I fly—I’m gonna recommend He put the Spirit in you guys
Gonna recommend He put the Spirit in you guys
To show you miracles, make you wise
When I fly if you wait you’ll be blest
He’s gonna blow through this place in just a bit.
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven
and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed
to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other
tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
Never been a preacher but ever since I got that Friend from Jesus
Don’t you know I’ve been on fire ’cause God has filled me up with the Spirit inside
God has filled me up with the Spirit inside
That’s why I’m gonna go far and wide
Far and wide with the faith I confess
I’m gonna go every place and tell the rest—Show ’em the way that’s the best.

“HOLY SPIRIT”
There’s nothing worth more that would ever come close,
No thing can compare, You’re our living Hope,
Your presence, Lord.
I’ve tasted and seen of the sweetest of loves,
When my heart becomes free and my shame is undone,
Your presence, Lord.
Chorus:
Holy Spirit You are welcome here,
Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere.
Your glory God is what our hearts long for,
To be overcome by Your presence, Lord.
The presence Lord
Bridge:
Let us become more aware of Your presence.
Let us experience the glory of Your goodness x 3

“I FEEL GOD”
Parody of “I Got You (I Feel Good)” by James Brown
Whoa!
I feel God—I do that a lot now
I feel God—I do that a lot now
So what? So what?
How ‘bout you?
Whoa!
I feel Christ—His Spirit’s inside
I feel Christ—His Spirit’s inside
For life! For life!

Man, I told you He’s my Lord
You know that I can’t do no more
And when I told you He’s my Lord
The Lord put proof in my heart
And I feel Christ—His Spirit’s inside
I feel Christ—His Spirit’s inside
For life! For life!
How ‘bout you?
Man, I told you He’s my Lord
You know that I can’t do no more
