A/N- YAY! Songs! Finally! This chapter is a little different than the other chapters. Since there are a lot of important people, I won't focus on just one person. You get to read their thoughts. It's kinda like a script. Just read it. I'm sure you'll get it.

Also, I won't write the whole song, since there will be a couple of them in this chapter.

Sorry it took me so long. Two church camps, school, laziness. They all prevented me from updating.

I do not own TobyMac, Casting Crowns, or the 39 Clues. Haven't I said this already?

Oh, REVIEW, PLEASE!

Amy's POV

When I finally got all the apple pie scrubbed off my face, we left Bob's. As we walked out the door, the girl at the cash register called out, smiling, "Come again! Most interesting day I have had at this job."

Anyway, we all headed out to the cars after we ate and headed to the park where they were performing. There was an outdoor amphitheater where everyone would sit.

We drove up, parked, and got out of the cars. Uncle Fiske handed out our tickets. Other cars were already parked and people were filing into the amphitheater.

I noticed Uncle Fiske didn't have a ticket. "You're not coming, Uncle Fiske?"

"No, Amy." He said, shaking his head. "I'm a little too old for a concert, don't you think? I'll be setting up the tent and your sleeping bags in the backyard. Nellie will be your guardian for tonight." I felt a little sorry for him. He's missing all of the fun.

We all filed into the amphitheater, handed our tickets to the security, and took our seats on the benches, about halfway up from the stage. The amphitheater was already halfway filled. I saw large speakers on the stage below with the crew testing out the sound system. I looked at my cell phone clock. 8:00; we had thirty minutes.

Third person-ish.

As soon as it was 8:30, someone gave a quick introduction and led a prayer.

A man named TobyMac took the stage. The audience gave a loud applause and he began with his first song. They all listened to the first song, "Lose My Soul."

Man I wanna tell you all something, Man.
Man I'm not gonna let these material thing's, get in my way, you all.
I'm trying to get somewhere.
I'm trying to get somewhere,
That's real and pure and true and eternal.

Ian: Sometimes work and school can make you forget what life really is about.

Father God, I am clay in your hands,
Help me to stay that way through all life's demands,
'Cause they chip and they nag and they pull at me,
And every little thing I make up my mind to be,

Like I'm gonna be a daddy whose in the mix,
And I'm gonna be a husband who stays legit,
And I pray that I'm an artist who rises above,
The road that is wide and filled with self love,

Jonah: Fame can get to your head.

Everything that I see draws me,
Though it's only in You that I can truly see that it's a feast for the eyes- a low blow to purpose.
And I'm a little kid at a three ring circus.

I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.
I don't want to gain the whole world, and lose my soul,
Don't wanna walk away, let me hear the people say.

Jonah: I've always wanted the whole world. But I've also wondered what I would do after I had gained it all. Also, what would happen after I died? It wouldn't mean anything after that. I can't take anything with me.

The song continued and ended. TobyMac continued to sing other songs, including

"Get Back Up," which Ian enjoyed. Casting Crowns came next, and by that time, it was dark outside. Lights shone down onstage. A large projector showed the lyrics to the songs on the walls of the theater so that the crowd could sing along.

They started with the song, "Slow Fade."

Be careful little eyes what you see
It's the second glance that ties your hands as darkness pulls the strings

Be careful little feet where you go
For it's the little feet behind you that are sure to follow

Hamilton: It's like my little sisters. They look up to me for an example, so I have to be careful of what I do.

It's a slow fade when you give yourself away
It's a slow fade when black and white have turned to gray
Thoughts invade, choices are made, a price will be paid
When you give yourself away
People never crumble in a day
It's a slow fade, it's a slow fade

Ian: It's not just doing one thing and then you're a bad person. It's like Isabel's training; the more you do it, the more evil you get. One lesson doesn't make you evil. It's a slow fade.

The next song started to play, which was "If We've Ever Needed You." (For you, SugarQueen8490!)

Hear our cry, Lord we pray,
Our faces down, our hands are raised,
You called us out, we turned away, we've turned away.

Amy: The world does turn away from God.

With ship wrecked faith, idols rise,
We do what is right, in our own eyes,
Our children now, will pay the price,
We need Your light, Lord, shine Your light.

Ian: The world is such a messed up place to live in. Take it from a son of murders.

If we've ever needed You, Lord, it's now, Lord, it's now,
We are desperate for Your hand, we're reachin' out, we're reachin' out.

Ian: We need the Lord so desperately in this crazy world.

The song changed again, and Ian's face lit up. He knew this song by heart. And could relate to it.

Ian: "East to West."

Natalie: I've heard Ian play this song sooo many times.

Here I am Lord and I'm drowning
In your sea of forgetfulness
The chains of yesterday surround me
I yearn for peace and rest
I don't wanna end up where you found me
And it echoes in my mind,
Keeps me awake tonight

Ian: I don't want to be what I was before. It does scare me sometimes that I will somehow slip and fall back into what I was.

I know you've cast my sin as far as the east is from the west
And I stand before you now as
Though I've never sinned
But today I feel like I'm just one mistake away
From you leaving me this way

Ian: I know He took away my sins away. But, like the song says, some days I feel like I could be a few feet away from what I was.

Jesus can you show me
Just how far the east is from the west
Cause I can't bear to see the man I've been
Come rising up in me again
In the arms of your mercy I find rest,
Cause you know just how far the East is from the West
From one scarred hand to the other.

Ian: He knows who I am and what I'm thinking; He will remind me that I'm His forever. I can have peace with Him.

The last time the chorus played, Amy glanced at Ian, who had his hands raised like many of the others in the room. He was singing out the words. Natalie, who was standing next to him, was slightly embarrassed by her brother's actions. Hamilton, who stood on his other side, looked at him as if he were crazy.

Jesus you know
Just how far the east is from the west
I don't have to see the man I've been
Come rising up in me again.

Ian: I don't have to see the old me.

In the arms of your mercy I find rest,
Cause you know just how far the east is from the west
One scarred hand to the other.

Ian: My sins have been casted as far as the east is from the west.

The song ended. More songs continued to play, and near for the ending song, the lead singer started to speak. "This next song, I want everyone to listen to the lyrics, even if you really don't understand them. This song has everything you need to know." All Cahills stared at the lyrics screen. "Glorious Day" started to play.

One day when Heaven was filled with His praises
One day when sin was as black as could be
Jesus came forth to be born of a Virgin
Dwelt among men, my example is He

Word became flesh and the light shined among us
His glory revealed

Living He loved me, dying He saved me
And buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He justified freely forever
One day He's coming, oh, glorious day, oh, glorious day

Natalie: Ian told me of this before.

Jonah: What?

Madison: Who died for me?

Sinead/Ned/Ted: Someone loved me? But I don't know this person!

One day they led Him up Calvary's mountain
One day they nailed Him to die on a tree
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He

Natalie: He did it for me…

Jonah: What? Who would do that? On purpose?

Madison: He carried my sins?

Sinead: Someone did that? Carried my sins? Why?

Ned/Ted: Our pain is nothing compared to that. Who would go through all of that?

Hands that healed nations, stretched out on a tree
And took the nails for me

Jonah: Me?

Madison: I'm a nobody? Why me?

Sinead: Me? I'm unimportant. Why would He do something like that for me?

Ned/Ted: He did that for me?

'Cause living He loved me, dying He saved me
And buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He justified freely forever
One day He's coming, oh, glorious day, oh, glorious day

One day the grave could conceal Him no longer
One day the stone rolled away from the door
Then He arose, over death He had conquered
Now He's ascended, my Lord evermore

Death could not hold Him
The grave could not keep Him from rising again

Jonah/Madison/Reagan/Hamilton/Ned/Ted/Sinead: WHAT? HOW?

Living He loved me, dying He saved me
And buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He justified freely forever
One day He's coming, oh, glorious day, oh, glorious day
Glorious day

Ned/Ted/Sinead/Jonah/Madison: He loved me. He died for me. He took my sins away. He rose and He's coming? Who is this.

One day the trumpet will sound for His coming
One day the skies with His glories will shine
Wonderful day, my beloved one bringing
My Savior Jesus is mine

Ian/Amy/Dan/Nellie: He will come again and I will go with Him when He does. He is my savior.

Living He loved me, dying He saved me
And buried He carried my sins far away
Rising He justified freely forever
One day He's coming, oh, glorious day, oh, glorious day
Glorious day, oh, glorious day

The concert ended with a closing of prayer. The Cahills filed out of the stadium and into the parking lot, where they were driven to Old Grace's rebuilt mansion. Minds were swirling with questions as they rode and talked on the way to the large house.
