More Na Worship
May 25 2008I’ve enjoyed the variety in the worship here at Na. Presently, a fifteen string orchestra is accompanying the Na Band. Earlier today, rapper Shai Linne led us in worship and performed a song from his new album, The Atonement. Below are the lyrics to the song Shai performed for us, Were You There?
Were You There?
This story starts at the climax, we find that time’s lapsed- don’t mind that
It’s kind of like a night cap filled with divine acts
We zoom in the lens on Christ’s agony on the garden
Doomed for His friends- His tragedy for our pardon
Foreseeing the Father’s cup of wrath has Him stifled and weak
He’s sweating blood with His disciples asleep
The Prince of Peace knows the beef shall increase
Since the thief approaches with the soldiers and the chief priests
His arrest is not just- neither is the trial
While Jesus is being treated foul, He sees Peter’s denial
He’s sent to Pilate, to Herod, back to Pilate
The violence of humanity at its finest
So now He stands before the crowd doomed to die
An angry mob who’s yelling out “crucify”
The way they treat the Lord of glory is debased and it’s foul
But you miss the point if you don’t see your face in the crowd
Chorus
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there? Were you there? (4x)
Man, sometimes it causes me to tremble
Yo, sometimes it causes me to tremble
Verse 2
This story starts at the climax, we find that time’s lapsed- don’t mind that
It’s kind of like a night cap filled with divine acts
We zoom in the lens on Christ’s agony in the garden
Doomed for His friends- it had to be for the pardon
And delivery from misery of kids who speak wickedly
Sinfully, inwardly slick with the iniquity
We see disciples sleep and mock today with a lot to say
But we do the same thing when we don’t watch and pray
Like Judas, we sell Christ out to get the treasure
Whether it’s the cheddar or forbidden pleasure
Like the chief priests, we want Christ to surrender
But we want Him out the way when He doesn’t fit our agenda
Like Peter, we have misplaced, fleshly confidence
But we’ll deny the Lord when faced with deadly consequence
Like Herod, we’re curious about Christ because He’s famous
But we quickly get bored with Him when He doesn’t entertain us
Like Pilate, we see Christ and find nothing wrong with Him
But when the world chooses the wicked, we go right along with them
Despite His kindness, we seek to do our Maker violence
The fallenness of humanity at its finest
So now He stands before the crowd doomed to die
An angry mob who’s yelling out “crucify”
The way they treat the Lord of glory is debased and it’s foul
But you miss the point if you don’t see your face in the crowd
Chorus
Verse 3
This story starts at the climax, we find that time’s lapsed- don’t mind that
It’s kind of like a night cap filled with divine acts
We zoom in the lens on Christ’s agony on the garden
Doomed for His friends- His tragedy for our pardon
Foreseeing the Father’s cup of wrath- it has Him stifled and weak
He’s sweating blood with His disciples asleep
The Prince of Peace knows the beef shall increase
Since the thief approaches with the soldiers and the chief priests
His arrest is not just- neither is the trial
While Jesus is being treated foul, he sees Peter’s denial
He’s sent to Pilate, to Herod, back to Pilate
The violence of humanity at its finest
So now He stands before the crowd doomed to die
An angry mob who’s yelling out “crucify”
The way we treat the Lord of glory is debased and it’s foul
Ashamed, I bow because I see my face in the crowd
Chorus

I have a very rough copy (.wav file) of the prophetic song Mr. Kauflin delivered about God’s grace in suffering and I’ve had to listen to it over and over to make out the lyrics, but I believe these are accurate. Praise God for this blessing! I struggle with Fibromyalgia and other conditions which result in chronic pain and fatigue. I cry with relief and gratitude every time I listen to my recording of this song from the Lord.
Is there any chance we can make a separate blog entry for this song and simply to write about worship during Na? Is it possible to get the audio for the prophetic songs sung during Na, and to verify lyrics? To those of us who were greatly touched by these songs, it would be very special. Thanks....
Mr. Kauflin, thank you so much for allowing yourself to be used by the Holy Spirit - I believe He is pleased and we are greatly blessed.
TGG
Do you believe that I know what is best?
Do you believe that I’ve chosen you for this test?
Though you may not understand it
Though you may not have a clue
I’ve designed what you’re going through just for you
I’ve heard the questions that you’ve asked me
When you wonder if I care
My promises are trustworthy
You can know I’ll be there
My son knows your weaknesses
Suffered in your place
He took the pain that you deserved
So that you could know my grace
There will be a day
When there’ll be no more pain
Look upon my face
And know the trial was worth it
All the things I do
I’m working now in you
To trust me, to know me, to believe me, to love me
To draw close to you
And If I heal you
I can heal you
I have power to turn this around
If you don’t healing until you see me
Anything can be changed
You wonder if I know what is best

My grace is sufficient for all that you need
My grace will lead you to me
