    Features never before released Rich Mullins song
    Newest album by Rick Lee James
    Rick Lee James is songwriter who doesn’t just turn a line, but cultivates lyrics that are planted firmly in deep theological roots. On Thunder, his latest album, he composes with the complexity and depth of a musician who has learned the craft by living the life. Thunder is set to be released independently in February 2018 through James’ company, Voices In My Head Productions. The album was recorded at Old Bear Studio in Buffalo, New York with producer Chris Hoisington (Brothers McClurg). This 13 track album combines James’ thoughtful melodies, instrumental versatility, and spoken words to create a vibe where artistry and liturgy meet. The lead single, "Thunder", is a never before released song by the late Rich Mullins, co-written with Lowell Alexander and Phil Naish, accompanied by a beautiful new music video.

lyrics

Love Our Enemies
Rick Lee James

Verse 1
God has made this declaration
Through His Son the Prince of Peace
If we will enter in His Kingdom
We must love our enemies

Verse 2
Lord deliver us from hatred
Prejudice and cruelty
Come remove discrimination
That the truth may set us free

Chorus 1
Lord and Maker of creation
Every life is dear to Thee
In the holy name of Jesus
Help us love our enemies

Verse 3
Jesus is our true example
Showing us the face of God
When He chose to die for sinners
Rather than to shed their blood

Verse 4
(So) Father show us how to love them
With Your mercy from above
For our enemies are brothers
We’ve forgotten how to love

Chorus 1
Lord and Maker of creation
Every life is dear to Thee
In the holy name of Jesus
Help us love our enemies

Verse 5
So we’ll fight them with affection
We will conquer them with grace
Until our enemies see Jesus
When they look into our face

Verse 6
In His time and for His pleasure
Pray we all will stand one day
Reconciled before the Father
When the old has passed away

Chorus 2
You have made us in Your image
You’ve redeemed us through Your Son
Let our swords be turned to plowshares
And our hearts be turned to love

TAG
Let our hearts be turned to love
Let our hearts be turned to love
