Newsboys
- Breakfast Lyrics
It's the next step, isn't
it? You adore something, and then
the next step is that you
can become devoted to it.
Adoration…isn't quite enough,
and I think devotion is
moving one step further.
It's a process.
--Peter Furler
It's obvious after only
a few minutes with newsboys
frontman and songwriter
Peter Furler that the man is
defined by his relationships
and a profound commitment to
those relationships that
include his band mates, longtime
associates, brothers and
mentors in Christ, his wife and
God. A significant theme
in this core of associations has
been Peter's recommitment
and ardent loyalty to the latter
two, prompting a restored
spirit evident in the band's
newest record, devotion.
Newsboys - In Christ
Alone
In Christ alone my hope
is foundHe is my light, my
strength, my songThis Cornerstone,
this solid groundFirm through the fiercest drought and stormWhat heights
of love, what depths of
peaceWhen fears are stilled, when
strivings ceaseMy Comforter,
my All in AllHere in
the love of Christ I standIn
Christ alone, who took
on fleshFullness of God
in helpless babeThis gift of
love and righteousnessScorned
by the ones He came to
save'Till on that cross
as Jesus diedThe wrath
of God was satisfiedFor
every sin on Him was laidHere in the death of Christ I liveThere in the
ground His body layLight
of the world by darkness slainThen bursting forth in glorious DayUp from
the grave He
rose againAnd as He stands
in victorySin's
curse has lost it's grip
on meFor I am His and He is
mineBrought with the precious
blood of ChristNo guilt in life, no fear in deathThis is the power of
Christ in meFrom life's
first cry to final breathJesus commands my destinyNo power of hell, no
scheme of
manCan ever pluck me from
His hand'Till He
returns or calls me homeHere
in the power of Christ
I'll stand
Newsboys - Wherever We
Go
Wherever we go, bluebirds
sing
And the flowers bloom
And the grass gets green
It's a curious thing
But it's just our thing
Wherever we go, the bees
behave
In the treetops, squirrels
smile and wave
It's a curious thing
And it's humbling
Where we go, little glow-worms
glow
Little roadrunners run ahead
Gonna tell their friends
Little mice, little men
Get 'em all excited
All invited
HANDS UP
HOLLER BACK HERE
LET'S THROW THIS PARTY IN

WHEREVER WE GO, THAT'S WHERE
THE PARTY'S AT
HANDS UP
HOLLER BACK NOW
WE DON'T CLAIM ANY KNOW-HOW
WE’RE GIVING GOD ALL THAT
WHEREVER WE GO, THAT'S WHERE
THE PARTY'S AT
Wherever we go, the dumb
get wise
And the crime rates drop
And the markets rise
It's a curious thing
But it's just our thing
Bullies make nice, crooks
repent
And the ozone layer shows
improvement
It's a curious thing
And it's humbling
Wherever we're led
All the Living Dead
Wanna leave their Zombie
Mob
It's a touching scene when
they all come clean
God help us, we just love
our job
HANDS UP
HOLLER BACK HERE
LET'S THROW THIS PARTY IN
GEAR
WE BROUGHT THE WELCOME MAT
WHEREVER WE GO, THAT'S WHERE
THE PARTY'S AT
Newsboys - In Wonder
So much wonder
Carved in your coral seas
So much wonder
Shaded by ancient trees
I consider all that your
hands have made
Every newborn’s eyes, every
new sunrise
No power can tame your presence
No light can match your
radiance
LET ALL CREATION SING IN
WONDER
EVERY SEA, EVERY CREATURE,
EVERY STAR
YOU OPENED UP MY EYES TO
WONDER
WHAT A VISION, WHAT A WONDER
YOU ARE
Such a wonder
Ordering time and tide
Such a wonder
Bridging the great divide
I consider all that you
had, all you gave
And all that you endured
From this rebel world
What a wondrous cross you
chose to bear
What a wonder you would
even care
[Repeat Chorus]
LET EVERY ROCK CRY OUT
LET EVERY KNEE BOW DOWN
YOU OPENED UP MY HEART TO
WONDER
WHAT LOVE, WHAT A WONDER
YOU ARE
No power can tame your presence
No light can match your
radiance
Such a wonder...
Such a wonder...
[Repeat Chorus]
LET EVERY ROCK CRY OUT
LET EVERY KNEE BOW DOWN
YOU OPENED UP MY HEART TO
WONDER
WHAT LOVE, WHAT A WONDER
YOU ARE
Newsboys - Go
Everybody needs somebody
To rely on (to rely on,

Everybody needs somebody’s
Shoulder to cry on (just
to cry on, realize)
I wanna send you there
To assist (I wanna send
you there)
GO...
FROM THE TOP OF THE WORLD
TO THE BOTTOM RUNG
‘TIL THE WORK IS DONE
I WANNA SEND YOU

FROM THE BREAK OF THE DAWN
TO THE AGE’S END
SOMEBODY’S NEEDING A FRIEND
I WANNA SEND YOU
Everybody needs somebody
For the long ride (for the
long ride, ride along)
Everybody needs somebody
Comin’ alongside (come alongside,
side along)
Are you gonna lend a hand...
Or a fist? (I wanna send
you there)
[Repeat Chorus]
Gonna send you out one by
one
If I need it sung, can you
sing it loud
Gonna send you two by two
Outta the ark, into the
wild blue
Gonna come along by your
side
Gonna send along my Spirit
guide
I’m gonna show you miracles
Cover the earth
Make disciples
[Repeat Chorus]

Newsboys
- Something Beautiful
I wanna start it over
I wanna start again
There’s a new beginning
One without an end
I feel it inside
Calling out to me
IT’S A VOICE THAT WHISPERS
MY NAME
IT’S A KISS WITHOUT ANY
SHAME
SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
LIKE A SONG THAT STIRS IN
MY HEAD
SINGING LOVE WILL TAKE US
WHERE
SOMETHING'S BEAUTIFUL
I’ve heard it in the silence
Seen it on a face
I’ve felt it in a long hour
Like a sweet embrace
I know this is true
It's calling out to me
[Repeat Chorus]
IT’S THE CHILD ON HER WEDDING
DAY
IT’S THE DADDY THAT GIVES
HER AWAY—FATHER
SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
WHEN WE LAUGH SO HARD WE
CRY
OH THE LOVE BETWEEN YOU
AND I
SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
Newsboys
- The Mission
When the runners came from
Bethlehem
All breathless with good
news
They were passing a baton
forward through time
The commission, from God’s
lips to our ears
Carried by his saints two
thousand years
Connects us all to the same
lifeline
As I fix my eyes ahead
I can feel the spirit’s
breath...
(AND) I CAN HEAR THE MISSION
BELL RINGING OUT LOUD AND CLEAR
IT'S THE REVOLUTION JESUS
STARTED, AND IT'S HERE
ECHOING ACROSS THE WORLD
FROM THE SHORES OF GALILEE
I CAN HEAR THE MISSION BELL
CALL FOR YOU AND ME
I WANNA RUN WITH FIRE
IT’S MY HEART’S DESIRE
LIFTING YOUR LOVE HIGHER
In the history of our faith’s
arrivals
Great awakenings, Welsh
revivals
Saints and martyrs, summoned
by a new birth
Patrick’s save of the Irish
nation
William Carey’s expectation
Lambs & lions
Called to the ends of the
earth
Gotta put my hand to the
plow
Not looking back, not now...
