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
