The EXILE (2024)












The EXILE Intro lyrics - Crowder

In the case of nuclear or radiological fallout
Seek shelter

Every little thing's gonna be alright
Tears of joy is all I'll cry
Every little thing's gonna be alright
On the other side of exile

Every little thing's gonna be alright
Tears of joy is all I'll cry
Every little thing's gonna be alright
On the other side of exile

Grave Robber lyrics - Crowder

I used to live like a rebel
Didn't wanna behave
Thought a wretch like me couldn't ever be saved
But everything changed, I remember the day
When I heard Him calling my name

Like a thief in the night
He snuck in, took my life
I was dead now I'm alive and singing

I got stolen by the grave robber
Picked me up from that rock bottom
Washed my soul in that Holy water
Brought me back to life
One more stone rolled away
One more sinner been saved by grace
This dead man, he ain't dead no longer
All because of that grave robber

Maybe you're the one thinking
That you'll never be right
Even though your momma praying for you every night
Praying Jesus gonna find you and open your eyes
Well maybe right now's that time

Like a thief in the night
He'll sneak in, take your life
That resurrection gonna have you singing

I got stolen by the grave robber
Picked me up from that rock bottom
Washed my soul in that Holy water
Brought me back to life
One more stone rolled away
One more sinner been saved by grace
This dead man, he ain't dead no longer
All because of that grave robber

Taking my sin, taking my shame
Breaking my soul out of these chains
I'm a dead man living
And God did it
Taking my sin, taking my shame
Breaking my soul out of these chains
I've been forgiven
And God did it

I got stolen by the grave robber
Picked me up from that rock bottom
Washed my soul in that Holy water
Brought me back to life

I got stolen by the grave robber
Picked me up from that rock bottom
Washed my soul in that Holy water
Brought me back to life
One more stone rolled away
One more sinner been saved by grace
This dead man, he ain't dead no longer
All because of that grave robber

Jesus is the rock and he rolls my grave away
All because of that grave robber
Jesus is the rock and he -
All because of that grave robber

— [DASH] lyrics - Crowder & TobyMac

Sunday mornin'
Preacher said
Life's a mist it's just a breath
We're only here for a little while
He talked about
His daddy's grave
It read 1910 to '98
But the years between were just a little line

Got me wondering what I'm chasing
Don't want another minute wasted

There's a day we're born
Day we pass
In between there's just a dash
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing
Yeah I got time
But time goes fast
Yeah that line is all I have
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing

I could take this life
And live it well
Or I could keep on living it for myself
What's He gonna say when He calls me up?
Was I just words
Or was I love
Did I love great or just good enough
I just hope He says well done

I keep on wondering what I'm chasing
Don't want another minute wasted

There's a day we're born
Day we pass
In between there's just a dash
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing
Yeah I got time
But time goes fast
Yeah that line is all I have
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing

Cause real life's in the trenches, not from the stands
In our lofty benches with manicured hands
I want a dash that's dirty, a life fully spent
Weathered and scarred from all the life that I lived
The times that we go out of our way
To paint beautiful blue over somebody's grey
When we stopped and defended injustice
Or sanded the heart of a friend that got rusted
I don't know my number or year that I'll pass
From this cold world to the kingdom that lasts
But carpe diem it's worth it ...to live it not blur it
Or years could fly by and you still ain't met purpose

There's a day we're born
Day we pass
In between there's just a dash
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing
Yeah I got time
But time goes fast
Yeah that line is all I have
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing

Life's short, but a vapor
What you gonna do, what you gonna do with yours
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing
What on earth am I doing

STILL lyrics - Crowder

Still got a couple problems, never seem to solve 'em
And I keep thinking I'm letting you down still
Ain't making you proud still, why am I trying?

Just spinning my wheels up a hundred-mile hill
Sliding back down till I'm stuck here in a standstill
But oh, that's when I remember

He's working on me still
Changing me piece by piece still
Making me better, gonna do His thing
Don't care how long it takes till
All I know is
I don't care if it's a little cliché to say
That I'm a sinner saved by grace
'Cause I need more every day
That's why
He's working on me still

You're keeping such a long list of all the times you don't win
Tryna get it right, ain't getting it right still
Always hatin' how that feels, but let me tell ya

Every rebel in the church got a story like yours
Till they read about grace in a verse, and a couple red words come alive
And you realize

He's working on me still
Changing me piece by piece still
Making me better, gonna do His thing
Don't care how long it takes till
All I know is
I don't care if it's a little cliché to say
That I'm a sinner saved by grace
'Cause I need more every day
That's why
He's working on me still
He's working on me

When I'm broken
When I'm hurting
My God's still working
When I'm reaching
When I'm searching
My God's still working

When I'm broken, hurting, when I'm still searching
My God's still working
When I'm stranded, reaching, I am believing
My God is—

He's working on me still
Changing me piece by piece still
Making me better, gonna do His thing
Don't care how long it takes till
All I know is
I don't care if it's a little cliché to say
That I'm a sinner saved by grace
'Cause I need more every day
That's why
He's working on me still

He's working on me still

Rinsed In The Blood lyrics - Crowder

What's that story you've been told?
What's that lie that you've been sold?
You ain't still a criminal
Shame don't own your soul

Got shackles in your history
Broken locks and prison keys
No longer stained by the enemy
Love has made you clean

Rinsed in the blood, battle been won
Deadman pulled right outta that mud
Baptized by the fire, washed in the flood
Ain't dirty no more, you're rinsed in the blood

Hal-la-la-la-la-le-lu-jah
Hal-la-la-la-la-le-lu-jah
Hal-la-la-la-la-le-lu-jah
Hal-la-la-la-la-le-lu-jah

Count your blessings one by one
Call yourself a miracle
His blood did the impossible
Shame don't own your soul

'Cause if you're free, you're free indeed
There's nobody He can't redeem
Raise your hands and praise the King
Love has made you clean

Rinsed in the blood, battle been won
Deadman pulled right outta that mud
Baptized by the fire, washed in the flood
Ain't dirty no more, you're rinsed in the blood

Hal-la-la-la-la-le-lu-jah
Hal-la-la-la-la-le-lu-jah
Hal-la-la-la-la-le-lu-jah
Hal-la-la-la-la-le-lu-jah

And the saints all sing
"No chains on me"
And the saints all sing
"No chains on me"

When the good Lord coming, can't slow Him down
Ain't a stone-cold sinner that can keep Him out
No use hiding when He's on your tracks
God gonna get His man

When the good Lord coming, can't slow Him down
Ain't a stone-cold sinner that can keep Him out
No use hiding when He's on your tracks
God gonna get His man

Yeah, God gonna get His man

Rinsed in the blood, battle been won
Deadman pulled right outta that mud
Baptized by the fire, washed in the flood
Ain't dirty no more, you're rinsed in the blood

Hal-la-la-la-la-le-lu-jah
You're rinsed in the blood
Hal-la-la-la-la-le-lu-jah
You're rinsed in the blood
Hal-la-la-la-la-le-lu-jah
You're rinsed in the blood
Hal-la-la-la-la-le-lu-jah
You're rinsed in the blood

Even In EXILE lyrics - Crowder

Stranger in a strange land
Wandering like a nomad
Nothing 'round here feels anything like home
Thirsty in a desert
Wondering if I'll never
Ever get back to where I belong
But

There's still a promise, there's still a song
There's still a rock where my help comes from
Hope is not lost, hope is not gone
Even in exile
Fire by night, cloud by day
God of all heaven gonna lead my way
No matter how long, still gonna praise
Even in exile
I'm marching on

Got a miracle working Father
Moving mountains, parting waters
Impossible is just what He does
Got my hands up in the battle
Come what may, it don't matter
I know this war is already won

There's still a promise, there's still a song
There's still a rock where my help comes from
Hope is not lost, hope is not gone
Even in exile
Fire by night, cloud by day
God of all heaven gonna lead my way
No matter how long, still gonna praise
Even in exile
I'm marching on
I'm marching on

I'm marching on, I'm marching on
I'm marching on, I'm marching on
I will see the goodness of the Lord
I'm marching on, I'm marching on
I will see the goodness of the Lord
Even in exile

There's still a promise, there's still a song
There's still a rock where my help comes from
Hope is not lost, hope is not gone
Even in exile
Fire by night, cloud by day
God of all heaven gonna lead my way
No matter how long, still gonna praise
Even in exile
I'm marching on

I'm marching on
I'm marching on
Even in exile
I'm marching on
I'm marching on
Even in exile

I will see the goodness of the Lord
I'm marching on, I'm marching on
I will see the goodness of the Lord
Even in exile

Somebody Prayed lyrics - Crowder

Every night there by your bed
You fold your hands and bow your head
Throwing out another prayer in faith
When you're wondering if He's hearing you
Look at me, I'm living proof
I'm only right where I am today
Because somebody prayed

So I hit my knees 'cause I've
Seen all Heaven move
Don't matter if you hit rock bottom
My God pick you up when you call Him
I pray, "Father, please" 'cause I've
Seen what He can do
Don't matter if the storm cloud coming
My God come through when you call Him
These hands have no power
But there ain't an hour He don't come through
That's why when mountains move, I say
"Looks like somebody prayed"

For the child of God that's far from home
The one who thinks they're too far gone
I'm throwing out another prayer in faith
Prayer in faith
Worn-out altars, tear-stained pews
Still I won't give up on you
I believe that anything can change
When somebody prays

So I hit my knees 'cause I've
Seen all Heaven move
Don't matter if you hit rock bottom
My God pick you up when you call Him
I pray, "Father, please" 'cause I've
Seen what He can do
Don't matter if the storm cloud coming
My God come through when you call Him
These hands have no power
But there ain't an hour He don't come through
That's why when mountains move, I say
"Looks like somebody prayed"

I've seen miracles come from feeble words
I've seen hospital rooms turned into cathedrals
I've seen freedom come to the prisoner
You can't tell me that prayer don't work

So every night there by your bed
When you fold your hands and bow your head
Not a single word you've ever said in vain
'Cause He hears everything

So I hit my knees 'cause I've
Seen all Heaven move
Don't matter if you hit rock bottom
My God pick you up when you call Him
I pray, "Father, please" 'cause I've
Seen what He can do
Don't matter if the storm cloud coming
My God come through when you call Him
These hands have no power
But there ain't an hour He don't come through
That's why when mountains move, I say
"Looks like somebody prayed"

Hands Of Jesus lyrics - Crowder

Little boy with a little smile
Mom and Dad with a little child
Hand in hand for a little while

Picking up his daddy's tools
Hands hammering nails in wood
Wonder if he understood

His hands were more than skin and bone
They'd soon be open, vulnerable
Son of God but somehow fully man

The hands of Jesus
So precious and strong
They can calm the seas
They can right your wrongs
The hands of Jesus
Holding everything
If they can take a nail
They can take your shame
So bring your hurt and
All your broken pieces
And put them in the miracle-working hands of Jesus

Touching the untouchable
Loving the unlovable
Forgiving unforgivable

Breaking bread and pouring wine
Pick up a cross that should be mine
Arms open, palms stretched wide

The hands of Jesus
So precious and strong
They can calm the seas
They can right your wrongs
The hands of Jesus
Holding everything
If they can take a nail
They can take your shame
So bring your hurt and
All your broken pieces
And put them in the miracle-working hands of Jesus

They keep picking me up again and again
Taking me in just as I am
All of me, all I have
All I need is in the hands

Of Jesus
So precious and strong
They can calm the seas
They can right your wrongs
The hands of Jesus
Holding everything
If they can take a nail
They can take your shame
So bring your hurt and
All your broken pieces
And put them in the miracle-working hands of Jesus

Lord Of All lyrics - Crowder

All glory to the King
Always, eternally
God of everything

You are holy
Should the world start to break and tear at the seams
You are holy
The mountains unravel, the oceans retreat
You are holy
Should my enemies prey on my life in the night
Lord of all, Lord of all
Till fear is surrounding my heart like a vine
You are holy
I will stand at the gates of the valley of death
You are holy
I will call on my Savior, my faithful defense
You are holy
In You do I trust 'cause You do not fail
Lord of all, Lord of all
Unshakable power that's pushing back Hell
You are holy
Oh, great mercy giver, You stay till the end
You are holy
My maker, defender, redeemer, and friend
You are holy
You are mighty and matchless, immeasurable
Lord of all, Lord of all
You are holy, You are holy, You are Lord of all

All glory to the King
Always, eternally
God of everything
Lord of all
Your praise be deafening
A million centuries
God of everything
Lord of all

Unstoppable lyrics - Crowder

Devil's playing fiddle
Demons coming like a missile
To my left, to my right
But I ain't be dancing with 'em
I got angels watching over me
Fighting all my enemies
Wear 'em out, knock 'em down
'Bout to taste that victory

Hey, hey
They can try to slow me
Thinking that they own me
They be thinking crazy
Hey
Welcome to the showdown
They about to find out

When I got You, I am unstoppable
When I got You, nothing's impossible
No way I lose, I am unbeatable, powerful
Stronger than invincible
I feel bulletproof when I got You
When I got You

See these arrows in my quiver
Winner, winner, chicken dinner
If I'm bitten by the serpent
He'll be sucking out the venom
I got someone watching over me
Fighting all my enemies
See that smile on my face
'Bout to taste that victory

Hey, hey
They can try to slow me
Thinking that they own me
They be thinking crazy
Hey
Welcome to the showdown
They about to find out
A-a-amen

When I got You, I am unstoppable
When I got You, nothing's impossible
No way I lose, I am unbeatable, powerful
Stronger than invincible
I feel bulletproof when I got You
When I got You

When I got You
When I got You

That's my dad, I'm His son
He's gonna make that Devil run
That's my dad, that's my dad
That's my dad, I'm His son
Watch him make that Devil run
That's my dad, that's my dad

That's my dad, and I'm His son
He's gonna make that Devil run
That's my dad, that's my dad
That's my dad, I'm His son
He's gonna make that Devil run
That's my dad, yeah, that's my dad

When I got You, I am unstoppable
When I got You
When I got You, nothing's impossible
When I got You
No way I lose, I am unbeatable, powerful
No way I lose
Stronger than invincible
I feel bulletproof when I got You
When I got You

When I got You
When I got You

All My Tears lyrics - Crowder & Buddy Miller

When I go, don't cry for me
In my Father's arms, I'll be
The wounds this world left on my soul
Will all be healed, and I'll be whole

Sun and moon will be replaced
With the light of Jesus' face
And I will not be ashamed
For my savior knows my name

It don't matter
Where you bury me
'Cause I'll be home, and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away

Gold and silver blind the eye
Temporary riches lie
Come and eat from heaven's store
Come and drink and thirst no more

So weep not for me, my friend
When my time below does end
For my life belongs to Him
Who will raise the dead again

And it don't matter
Where you bury me
I'll be home, and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away

Hey, mm, hey
Hey

It don't matter where you bury me
I'll be home, and I'll be free
I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
Where I lay
All my tears be washed away
Washed away
All my tears be washed away

Truth Be Told lyrics - Crowder

The dust and haze can hide the light
In a crazy world, where wrong seems right
Another day is just another fight
Truth be told

There's a broken branch on the tree of life
Garden overgrown, covered in vines
Stuck out here on the other side
Truth be told

A day is coming for coming back home
Back to where the heart belongs
Feel the yearning, can you hear the groan?
The day is coming
Truth be told

Truth be told

There's a serpent sliding through the grass
Same one that Eve and Adam met
Can't trust a single word he says
Truth be told

In this foreign land, where shadows loom
Rivers still run and flowers still bloom
There's a coming King 'cause there's an empty tomb
Truth be told

A day is coming for coming back home
Back to where the heart belongs
Feel the yearning, can you hear the groan?
The day is coming
Truth be told

Truth be told

Every little thing's gonna be alright
Tears of joy is all we'll cry
Every little thing's gonna be alright
On the other side of exile

Yeah, every little thing's gonna be alright
Tears of joy is all we'll cry
Every little thing's gonna be alright
On the other side of exile

Every little thing's gonna be alright
Tears of joy is all we'll cry
Every little thing's gonna be alright
On the other side of exile

A day is coming for coming back home
Back to where the heart belongs
Feel the yearning, can you hear the groan?
The day is coming
Truth be told

Truth be told

Milk & Cookies: A Merry Crowder Christmas (2022)












Prelude: It Came Upon A Midnight Clear lyrics - Crowder

And it came to pass in those days
A decree of Caesar was given:
The whole of Rome must travel home
To the city of their kin

So Joseph packed up all his bags
And began the journey while
A donkey carried his fiancée Mary
Cause she was pregnant, y'all

From Galilee, from Nazareth
To Bethlehem they roamed
And once arrived, it came the time
For the baby to be born

The child was laid in a lowly manger
As shepherds in fields nearby
Stood amazed 'neath a brilliant blaze:
The first O Holy Night

"Fear not!" an angel spoke to them
"For I have brought good news!
A child is born. He is the Lord
The Savior, here with you."

Great joy for all the people!
The heavens announce His birth
Angels applaud, "Glory to God!
And peace upon the earth!"

It came upon a midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold

Peace on the earth, good will to men
From heaven's all gracious King
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing

Thanks Giver lyrics - Crowder

It's getting cold
I'm driving home
On interstate 3-0
Mama's calling, "Where you at?"
The turkey's almost done
I hang up the phone, tear in my eye
Moments like these I realize
God You're so good to me

You make joy out of simple and ordinary things
You fill life up with stories I'd never think to dream
So this holiday
I wanna praise
The One who's making a saint
Out of this sinner
The One who's turned me into this thanks giver

Just took the pumpkins off the porch
The wreath is on my door
There's something sacred 'bout the time
Of year when You were born
The Street's alive, it's Christmas again
But moments like these, hope I don't forget
God You're so good to me

You make joy out of simple and ordinary things
You fill life up with stories I'd never think to dream
So this holiday
I wanna praise
The One who's making a saint
Out of this sinner
The One who's turned me into this thanks giver

Thank You for this life and all the joy that's in this heart
For when I get to hug my dad and punch my brother in the arm
Thank You for the grace I know I'll never have to earn
All because You chose to come down here and save this crazy world

You make joy out of simple and ordinary things
You fill life up with stories I'd never think to dream
So this holiday
I wanna praise
The One who's making a saint
Out of this sinner
The One who's turned me into this thanks giver

You're the reason
You're the reason
Why I'm a thanks giver

You're the reason
You're the reason
Why I'm a thanks giver

I've Heard About You lyrics - Crowder

I've heard about You
It's always this time of year
When the trees are up and lights are hung
And Christmastime is here

I've heard about You
Sometimes I struggle to believe
But people keep on telling me
You're as real as real can be

They sing Joy to the world
A Savior is born
O Holy night
Every Christmas, they sing
Hallelujah
Like they always do
Could it be true
What I've heard about You

I've heard about You
All those stories that they tell
They say You came to fix a broken world
And that Your name is Emmanuel

I've heard about You
Born in Bethlehem, The Christ
Who left His throne to rescue
Even a doubter's heart like mine

So I sing Joy to the world
A Savior is born
O Holy night
Every Christmas, I'll sing
Hallelujah
Like they always do
I believe it's all true
What I've heard about You
What I've heard about You

Hope is here
Hallelujah
Hope is here

If it's all true
Then it changes everything
Cause the hope I thought I'd never find
Has found its way to me

So I sing Joy to the world
A Savior is born
O Holy night
Every Christmas, I'll sing
Hallelujah
Like they always do
I believe it's all true
What I've heard about You

Interlude I: Milk lyrics - Crowder

Long after that boy
Who brought the world joy
There arose the tale of Saint Nick
With a "ho ho ho"
And an affinity for snow
He became famous for handing out gifts!

Year after year
The children declare
The praises of Santa each season
While fathers & mothers
Fuss with each other
Over vague instructions & missing pieces

Why does ole Nicholas —
Getting cookies & milk from us —
Get all the focus each year?
Does he even know how
To dress up a doll?
Has he ever stuffed one teddy bear?

Let's all be certain:
Santa ain't the person
Who's makin' all those presents happen!
The elves are the reason
For the Christmas toy season
...are they even paid for their tinkerin' and tappin'?!

All the screws and the bolts!
The trains and the boats!
The child-sized electrical ovens!
It really must irk
Those elves doing work
While Santa gets all the lovin'!

Workers rights gone wrong!
Where is the song
For this nimble North-Polian crew!?
Trapped in a matrix
With candy for paychecks!
And wearing those curly-toed shoes!
(Yeah, why they gotta wear those curly shoes?!)

Well, little boys and girls
All over the world
It's time to know the truth!
And for all them elves
Sitting on them shelves
Well... this here is a song for you

This is The Elf Song. It's about elves

The Elf Song lyrics - Crowder

Every day is a grind
Them elves working six-day weeks no raise in sight
Santa only pay 'em cookies when they working that overtime
Gotta make that quota, can't do it in a 9 to 5
That ain't right
Let's talk about fairness
Elf awareness

This is the elf song
Sitting on the shelf song
Working with them itty bitty pointy toed shoes on
I blame Santa Claus
And his North Pole operation
Ain't a good look paying candy cane wages
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Give 'em some
Put your hands up for the elves
This is the elf song
This is the elf song
This is the elf song
Alright

They only stand two-feet tall
Or maybe three, maybe four, but the point is elves are small
Still make enough toys for a million shopping malls
Size don't matter, even Santa can't do it all
Elves are the bomb

This is the elf song
Giving them the credit song
Working with them itty bitty pointy toed shoes on
I love Santa Claus
And his North Pole operation
But it ain't a good look paying M&M wages
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Give 'em some
Put your hands up for the elves
This is the elf song

This is the elf song

Let's talk about fairness
Elf awareness

This is the elf song
Elfin' every day song
Dancing with them itty bitty pointy toed shoes on
High five Santa Claus
And his North Pole operation
Word on the street is the elves got raises
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Give 'em some
Put your hands up for the elves
This is the elf song

This is the elf song
This is the elf song
This is the elf song
Put your hands up everyone
This is the elf song
This is the elf song
This is the elf song

The Ballad Of Mrs. C (She's Sick Of The Beard) lyrics - Crowder

She's so sick of the beard
She's missing her man
And that sweet face he hides under there
Hasn't seen it in years
She's so sick of the beard

She's so sick of the cold
Sick of carols and sleigh bells
And waking up to that reindeer's nose
It's getting kinda old
She's so sick of the cold

Cause it's always HO, HO, HO
Up here in the Northern Pole
Had enough Christmas cheer
It's Christmas all year
Yeah she's tired of his crazy career
And she's sick of the beard
She's sick of the beard

She's so sick of the clothes
Elves wearing red, green, and white
Or anything with a bow
Tiny shoes and pointy toes
She's so sick of the clothes, oh oh

Cause it's always HO, HO, HO
Up here in the Northern Pole
Had enough Christmas cheer
It's Christmas all year
Yeah she's tired of his crazy career
And she's sick of the beard
She's sick of the beard

He was so glad to be home
So he found him a razor
And walked out looking twenty years old
Then he gassed up the sleigh
Said "Honey, where you wanna go?"
She said, "Mexico"

Cause it's always HO, HO, HO
Up here in the Northern Pole
Had enough Christmas cheer
Let's get outta here
But don't worry kids, he'll be back next year
And so will the beard

Ho, ho, ho
He's coming to town
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
He'll be back next year
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas

Falalala
See you next year!
Falalala
Happy new beard!
