The Chronicle

Part I - One Moment in Time

(Instrumental)

Part II - Birth

At once, a miracle, life becoming real
The tiny seed of life seeming so unreal
Without a doubt in mind, not a reason to give
The Author has decreed that surely all born must live

chorus
One moment in time, one reason, one rhyme
One life before death, at the very first breath
Only one chance to live, only one chance to give
Only one way to say you were born by His Name
Don't turn out the light - don't turn from the fight
Don't forget miracles are a part of His will
As the first shall be last we were born for His task
We've been made for His Praise worshiped in all we say

The choice of birth not mine yet I know I am me
The door stands open wide for the path that I see
The moment passing by, but yet forever I'll be
Cannot be taken back from Divine destiny

chorus

Part III - Life

Death where is your sting if in life you'll only bring
At the final curtain sing - what's the meaning?
My life has but begun still I feel a race yet run
In a search to find the Son and the meaning

If I give my life to You, will You be in all I do?
Will You give me answers to the true meaning?
I have fought but never lost, never counted for the cost
Never looked beyond the Cross and its meaning

chorus
Life is worth all to me
Through the darkness I see
Life has meaning in You and only You
Without purpose Life dies
Through these cold desperate eyes
Life has meaning in You - all I see all I do

If I can't be one with You in a world with nothing true
If the light burns all I do what's the meaning?
He has died that you might live given all that He could give
All He lost so you might have the true meaning

If He calls will you still come to the feet of Christ the Son?
To the only real One with the meaning
To be born you now must die, there's no doubt - there is no why
There is no place to deny Christ's the meaning

chorus

Part III - Autumn

(Instrumental)

Part IV - Death

Uncertainty is near you know
Still forward to the end you go
Do you understand?
Visions of the past draw near
The cloak of blindness what you fear
You can't reach His hand
Forgotten in an empty room
The memories will fade too soon
It's the same old song
The coward dies a thousand deaths
But brave fools die just like the rest
Has it all been so wrong?

chorus
You see the turning of the racing clock
The hands are burning you wish it would stop

The autumn of your life's begun
Still time to right the damage done
But when will you see?
Taken from the fear of death
Desperate in your final breath
Who holds your key?
Without the hope you long to see
The reasoning reality
There's no peace of mind
If hate now fills your empty head
And fear replaces love instead
You'll lose all that you find

chorus

Part V - Resurrection of Life

spoken:
Beyond all reason but for faith I walk this path
Beyond all shadow of a doubt I take my stand
Beyond the outstretched hand of all I was before
Beyond the outstretched hand - my emptiness before

My life no longer has purpose but in You
In all I say, and all I do

Part VII - Messiah

What has now gone before
No longer anymore
There is no final score
Unending
The end of time begun
The final rite is sung
The battle He has won
Unending

chorus
Messiah

His arms are open wide
There is no place to hide
Is Heaven's gate denied?
Unending
Is your life now betrayed?
Are you still so afraid?
Your soul's debt is still paid
Unending

chorus

Part VI - One Moment in Time - reprise
