A Word Rings Clear

A word rings clear for all the hear, our Father's will today;
As He robes His own and upon His throne, now takes dominion there.

So that all may know His love, amazing grace and peace,
And we behold the glory of His unveiled face!

Come into this holy place, the veil is rent you see,
As my gold comes forth the world will know a nation now made free;

Oh, to walk as Sons, His will be done, what a glorious place!
As we behold the glory of His unveiled face!

My word I now perform in thee, this My chosen land,
And as ye speak, there's no defeat, but there is victory on all hands;

My life ye now shall give and that more abundantly,
And the glory of My unveiled face they'll see!

All Things Are Possible

Come all ye that worry, and all who are depressed.
Come all heavy laden, and I will give you rest
Come all ye discouraged, And I will give you peace.
Come all ye downhearted, in me you'll find release.

Nothing is impossible to you when you believe.
Nothing is impossible for you shall receive.
Nothing is impossible so put your faith in God.
Nothing is impossible through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Now reach out to Jesus, He's reaching out to You.
Reach out to Jesus, for He will see you through.
Just reach out to Jesus; He'll take you by the hand.
Reach out to Jesus; His life He will command.

All things are possible to us when we believe.
All things are possible for we shall receive.
All things are possible; let's put our faith in God.
All things are possible through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Now praise and adore Him for all that He has done
Glorify and worship Him; the work, He has begun.
Believe in God's own promises; He's given us His Word.
Now we have the Victory through Jesus Christ our Lord.

And I Know I'll Never Be Alone

Lord, let me stand, now, in Your presence.
You're Spirit flows; Your Health and Joy is surging;
Light and Life are streaming from Your Throne.
And now, Your Voice to me is pleasant;
Your healing touch; I know my life is changing,
And I know I'll never be alone.

I will exalt and I will praise You.
Let me abide within Your tender mercy
Light and Life are present in Your Name.
Let everything in me be made new;
Break down the walls of self; The flesh that binds me,
And I know I'll never be the same.

Christ Today

Christ today, seen the new and living way,
Giving His life to all - who hear His great call:
As the river now flows.
Reaching out to all mankind,
Bringing them to new Life Divine
Come and hear Him, I pray - and walk in the way Of this Christ today.

Come Up Higher

I heard a voice call to me, come up higher and see,
All the mysteries I have in store.
There's a garment reserved it's true,
Shining white and it's for you,
Transfiguration for my body now to see.


It was the time, back then to see,
Elijah - Moses - and Me, and my servants were allowed to behold.
They saw the Glory of each day and all three were there to say,
"Come up higher, the time now has come."


Yes, come up higher with me, to a mount where you can see,
All the mysteries for you now in store.
Your garments I will change, you'll be transfigured in my name,
For it's the third Day, and creation shall go free.

For the Joy of His Appearing

For the joy of His appearing now besets His whole creation,
And they sing and praise the Master, for all that he has done.
The Sons of God declare Hi, as they sing their Hallelujahs,
Now they please the Father - They're the new creation Sons!

From Death To Life

From death to Life, from doubt to Faith,
From fear to Love, by mighty Grace,
Oh, people, move as I direct you into Light.
And never fear for I am here.
And, as you seek, I will draw near.
And, just ahead, you see the Kingdom shining bright.

It's given once for men to die,
So Christ has died to satisfy
The debt of sin and death that you could never pay.
The door of life is open wide.
Come in. Come in. Come and abide.
Take hold of Him, and pass from night into the day.

The Kingdom now is here for you.
The King is calling unto you.
Oh let the world fade away through His free grace.
Take hold of Life in Christ the Lord.
Rise up in Him. He is the Word.
Keep walking in; behold the glory of His Face.

Heaven Is Within And Its At Hand

Some folks think that heaven is a place that is afar.
Some folks think it's hidden high above the highest star.
They have not been able to define it so it seems,
For heaven is within and it's at hand.

Let's not push God's blessing to some future time and place.
Let us enter fully in the power of His grace.
He tells us to enter and His promises embrace,
For heaven is within and it's at hand.
We're seated now with Jesus in the mighty heavenlies,
Mortal eyes won't see it 'til our bodies are redeemed.
Called out saints take hold of heaven's high authority,
For heaven is within and it's at hand.

Many a skilled painter tried to visualize a dream.
Many theologians have devised their clever schemes.
They have not been able to define it so it seems,
For heaven is within and it's at hand.

Let's not push God's blessing to some future time and place.
Let us enter fully in the power of His grace.
He tells us to enter and His promises embrace,
For heaven is within and it's at hand.
We're seated now with Jesus in the mighty heavenlies,
Mortal eyes won't see it 'til our bodies are redeemed.
Called out saints take hold of heaven's high authority,
For heaven is within and it's at hand.

Folks have tried to get there by most every human means.
Some claimed secret knowledge that they thought would be the key.
They have not been able to define it so it seems,
For heaven is within and it's at hand.

Let's not push God's blessing to some future time and place.
Let us enter fully in the power of His grace.
He tells us to enter and His promises embrace,
For heaven is within and it's at hand.
We're seated now with Jesus in the mighty heavenlies,
Mortal eyes won't see it 'til our bodies are redeemed.
Called out saints take hold of heaven's high authority,
For heaven is within and it's at hand.

Heaven's height is not a height that natural eyes can see.
Heaven is a place in God of high authority.
Jesus won it for us, and God gives it to us free,
For heaven is within and it's at hand.

Let's not push God's blessing to some future time and place.
Let us enter fully in the power of His grace.
He tells us to enter and His promises embrace,
For heaven is within and it's at hand.
We're seated now with Jesus in the mighty heavenlies,
Mortal eyes won't see it 'til our bodies are redeemed.
Called out saints take hold of heaven's high authority,
For heaven is within and it's at hand.

For heaven is within and it's at hand.

I Know He Lives

I know He lives, yes, I know He lives,
And because He lives - so live 1,
That my life may be hid in the cleft of that Rock,
And that Christ may be seen in me.

I'm Just One Little Drop

I'm just one little drop in the ocean of God's love
One little drop in His wondrous swirling sea.
One little drop in the ocean of God's love
Overwhelmed by His grace and majesty.

And what seems like awful chaos to the finite mind of man
To God is very simple to direct and understand.
Each moment and each detail He foreknew and wisely planned
For each drop that is out here in this sea,
And His plans are very good for you and me.

I'm just one little drop in the ocean of God's love
One little drop in His wondrous swirling sea.
One little drop in the ocean of God's love
Overwhelmed by His grace and majesty.

And what seems like awful chaos to the finite mind of man
To God is very simple to direct and understand.
Each moment and each detail He foreknew and wisely planned
For each drop that is out here in this sea,
And His plans are very good for you and me.

I'm just one little drop in the ocean of God's love

For each drop that is out here in this sea,

And His plans are very good for you and me.

Indestructible Joy And Unshakable Peace

Indestructible joy, only Jesus supplies.
And unshakable peace in His Spirit abides.

For the world can't destroy, cannot cause it to cease,
This great vision ahead, which the eye of hope sees.
Indestructible joy and unshakable peace.
Indestructible joy and unshakable peace.

In the midst of the storm, oh, what comfort I feel,
For my indwelling Lord cometh ever more real.

For the world can't destroy, cannot cause it to cease,
This great vision ahead, which the eye of hope sees.
Indestructible joy and unshakable peace.
Indestructible joy and unshakable peace.

Oh the world may squeeze and bring pressure to bear,
Try to shape and to mold, but then what do I care,

For the world can't destroy, cannot cause it to cease,
This great vision ahead, which the eye of hope sees.
Indestructible joy and unshakable peace.
Indestructible joy and unshakable peace.

Let the enemy rage; let him rant; let him foam.
I continue with Christ toward my heavenly home,

For the world can't destroy, cannot cause it to cease,
This great vision ahead, which the eye of hope sees.
Indestructible joy and unshakable peace.
Indestructible joy and unshakable peace.

Just When I Thought

'dya ever have a time of lonely sorrow?
'dya ever have a time of feelin' blue?
'dya ever have a fear to face tomorrow?
Well, what Jesus did for me, I know he'd do for you.
Cause just when I thought things could never be made right,
Jesus reached down and saved me.
And just when I thought that I would never see the light,
Jesus reached down and set me free.

Manifest The Light

Manifest the light, the life of Christ,
For the world must see Him,
And as He appears, the groaning captives shall go free.
Bring about the change, perform the mighty counsel of His will, Manifest the
Light, the life of Christ,
Let all flesh be still.

copyright Bob and Charlotte Torango


Oh, Let The Love Of God

Oh, let the love of God
be shed abroad
in your hearts by the Holy Ghost.
Love one another,
for love is the key,
To enter the Kingdom of God.
Behold! How good and how pleasant it is
for brethren to dwell in unity,
For there the Lord commands His blessing,
Even life forevermore.

copyright Bob and Charlotte Torango


Real Hope

Real hope is not an "I hope so" hope.
Real hope flows from God's Spirit.
Real hope is the vision of what God is going to do.
Real hope knows the plans God has for us.
Plans of good and not of evil.

The Hour Of Glory

The hour of glory is upon us,
His power revealed in the saints,
The hour when the saints will come to rule and reign,
Removing all fleshly constraints.

In Him we live and move,
And have our very being.
He abides in us and we in Him.

His glory is upon us.
His glory shines out from us,
The glory of the Only Holy One.

Glory, glory, glory,
The all surpassing glory,
The all surpassing glory of the Son.

Glory, glory, glory,
The all surpassing glory,
The all surpassing glory of the Son.

The I Am--the I Am--the I Am

Who took your mourning and sorrow away?
Who took your life and restored it, I say?
Who took away the part,
And revealed in you His all?
The I Am - The I Am - The I Am.


Who healed your land and brought forth the first fruit?
Who plowed your earth, and made you meet for His use?
Who leads your every step, makes His Word now stand tall?
The I Am - The I Am - The I Am.


Who shall we say is appearing today?
Who shall they see in the midst of thee?
Who'll take away the veil, let creation go free?
The I Am - The I Am - The I Am.

The Lively Stones

The lively stones are gathered here,
That Christ has brought from far and near;
With their worship and their praise,
Giving glory to this Day.


These lively stones now sons shall be,
And this house shall set men free,
Giving glory through the land
To the Christ that's now at hand
Through these lively stones.

The Real Church

Our God is real and absolute and His Light never dims,
Though much is done and falsely labeled as a work of Him,
Unlike the real Christ, the Only Hope of all mankind,
A plastic church suggests another christ of laws that bind,
A christ composed of many rules and rituals and forms,
And claiming that some human works could somehow please the Lord.
The members of the real Church confess the state they're in,
Depending on the works of Christ to save them from their sins.
Who look to power from On High to be set fully free,
And, though yet soiled, and spotted still, to one day holy be.

There is no way to join God's Church, yet all who will may come,
And any may be born into this Church of God's dear Son.
Unlike our mighty Lord, Who saves, and heals, by Whom we soar,
A man-made church presents some other christ who has no power,
A christ who has no power to heal, no power to set you free,
But rather form and ritual, a name from history.
How different, God's Church, God's Doors, His called out ministries,
Who manifest the potent Christ, the One Who sets us free,
Those led with power from on high; those called out from the world,
Those called to sell all that they have to purchase this great pearl.

The Church is not a club to join, yet all who will may come,
And any may be born into this Church of God's own Son.
Unlike this Holy One, in Whom we live so high above,
Synthetic churches pose some other christ . . . who is not Love,
A christ who brings no holiness, a mist from long ago,
A christ who is so far away, not like the One we know.
How different, God's Church: with Love of God and Spirit flow,
Obeying Christ, our vital Lord, The living Corner Stone.
That pattern absolute and sure, the living Christ Divine,
For we love Him Who is the Light, so He within us shines.

And all who seek to know the Lord will find Him as they pray,
Though many false christs are put forth who cannot help or save.
Unlike the mighty Christ, Whose presence is a burning fire,
A plastic church presents some other christ of mind's desire,
A christ who entertains and stimulates the human minds,
A made up christ who loves the world, that shackles, maims, and blinds.
Christ's Body is the Church: the growing Temple from On High,
Which now shows forth Lord Jesus Christ, the only Good and Kind,
The Temple of our holy God, a House not made with hands,
By that which every joint supplies, this Temple grows and stands.

So many spirits have gone forth, and many voices speak,
But those who seek the Holy One are careful as they seek.
They find the teaching Christ, Whom we may seek and find and know,
While pseudo-churches preach another christ who cannot show,
A christ who cannot speak to us, nor even guide our way,
The christ they preach we cannot know, nor grow in Him each day.
The contrast is the Church: those called to Light from shades of gray,
To walk according to the Christ revealed, in pots of clay.
Those called to press toward calling high will be set fully free,
And, though yet soiled, and spotted still, will one day holy be.

The doctrine that there is no Truth, Whom we may seek and find,
Pervades the earthly, devilish church, which charms the human mind.
Not like the great I Am, Who is, and Whom we know and feel,
A barren church presents a different christ who is not real,
A christ who says, "Do as thou wilt," with choices you may choose,
A vapor, a philosophy, a thought that you can use.
How different, God's Church, those who reveal our God's good news,
They manifest the steadfast Christ, the One Whom all may choose,
With love unfeigned and hope unquenched and Faith the only shield,
That Body of the living Lord: His essence now revealed.

The Word Is Made Flesh Again

The Word is made flesh again,
His nature comes forth as God swallows up man.
A house divided will fall - but the Word does stand tall, He is now the beginning and end.


The earth and the heavens are one,
The Alpha - Omega, now appears through the Son.
Now our Father we see and in His likeness we'll be,
For the Day of His fullness is come!

copyright Bob and Charlotte Torango


There Is A Place In Jesus

There is a place in Jesus,
Where there can be no sin.
A secret place in Jesus,
O let us enter in.
A place above all sorrow,
All sadness, hurt and care.
That secret place in Jesus,
O let us enter there.

We Do Praise Thee

We do praise Thee;
Thou hast rained upon our land,
The latter and the former,
Has brought forth this Corporate Man.
And the harvest is so glorious,
The Firstfruits now we see,
The Feast is choice, we have heard His voice,
And a new appearing now shall be.

When We Come To The End Of Ourself

When we come to the end of ourself,
There'll be no broken vessels
Sitting down on God's shelf.
All men free, all men see,
That God is all that is left,
When we come to the end of ourself.

copyright Bob and Charlotte Torango


Ye Shall Be A Name Of Joy

And ye shall be a name of joy and praise and honor
Before all nations,
For I have chosen thee, thou art mine.
I give unto thee prosperity,
And goodness and mercy shall follow thee, forever;
And as ye praise Me, so shall it be.

And the world shall look and they shall see
You reigning from the heavenlies,
Every knee shall bow proclaiming Him,
And they'll know it,
And through the voice of joy and gladness, they will see My face,
Your love will show it.

copyright Bob and Charlotte Torango


You Have A Great Worth

You have a great worth just as God has said.
Jesus died and rose to purchase you.
He alone gave life when you were dead,
And He will finish His work in you.

He says He loves you.
He says He's chosen you.
And He will send you as you will seek His face.
He says He foreknew.
He says He's chosen you.
He says He called you, and He prepared your place.

Don't believe a word that old serpent says.
He has been a liar from the start.
Just believe the Word that Jesus says,
And let Him be the King of your heart.

He says He loves you.
He says He's chosen you.
And He will send you as you will seek His face.
He says He foreknew.
He says He's chosen you.
He says He called you, and He prepared your place.

Poetry & Meditations


From Death To Life

From death to Life, from doubt to Faith,
From fear to Love, by mighty Grace,
Oh, people, move as I direct you into Light.
And never fear for I am here.
And, as you seek, I will draw near.
And, just ahead, you see the Kingdom shining bright.

It's given once for men to die,
So Christ has died to satisfy
The debt of sin and death that you could never pay.
The door of life is open wide.
Come in. Come in. Come and abide.
Take hold of Him, and pass from night into the day.

The Kingdom now is here for you.
The King is calling unto you.
Oh let the world fade away through His free grace.
Take hold of Life in Christ the Lord.
Rise up in Him. He is the Word.
Keep walking in; behold the glory of His Face.
