ThePRIZE is a reminder of what our real goal is. We human beings exist for one ultimate purpose, the pleasure of our Creator. To walk with Him; to talk with Him; to hear His voice; to feel His touch; to be like Him; to love like Him.

ThePRIZE includes Terry's signature bluesy way of communicating practical reality along with those breakthrough intimate moments with Jesus.

The band on this album will be familiar names to those who have read the credits on Terry's last 4 albums and is graced by the incredible talent and creativity of Roby Duke in an unprecedented way. Not only is he the producer and arranger but adds his unbelievable genius on the guitar to almost every track.

The cover art includes historic scenes from Scotland and England and a painting by Terry all under the direction of John Shaffer, who is another familiar name connected with Terry's projects.

You may notice that Terry did some of the piano tracks on the grand piano provided by Horizon Christian Fellowship of San Diego. That recording happened right in Terry's living room, with expert help from Micworks of Orange County and Chris Taylor of Crossroads Studio fame.

ThePRIZE is well worth the wait and the work. The first line of the first song says it, "The Prize is worth more than I can pay, though I give Him everything. The Passion, the beauty, far beyond my dreams, everyday I walk with Him." 11 songs tracking the awe of discovering God's mercy and the joy of being His friend and serving Him. That is ThePRIZE!

Church in the background is the church in Oxford where CS Lewis attended.
Mr. Lewis’ grave is in that churchyard.

Other art:
Scenes in Scotland & England were photographed during the 2003 UK tour. Tantallon Castle, originally owned by the Earls of Fife from the Douglas clan in the 14^th century, stands atop the 100-ft cliffs above the Firth of Forth. The castle was left in ruins after Cromwell pummeled it for 12 days with his cannons in 1651. It is a National Historic Site today.

A mile out to sea stands Bass Rock. The first inhabitant of “The Bass” was Baldred in the 8^th century, and has passed through the hands of a long succession of owners who used it for a monastery, a dungeon, a stronghold against religious persecution, sheep grazing, a prison, a strategic guard post and a lighthouse. Bass has over 100,000 residents, all of them North Atlantic Gannets who nest there each year and nudge their young off the more than 300-ft cliffs when it is time to learn how to fly.

Competing for the prize means that everything the runner does is designed to enhance the chance to win. Now, if people do that just to get a trophy to put on display for a while, what do you think we should do when we’re competing for an eternal prize?

THE PRIZE
w&m Terry Clark

This life was empty and dark
Without a light, without a heart
Then Jesus came shining
Put His lifeline around me
He lifted me out, I’m born again!

The prize is worth far
More than I can pay
Though I give Him everything
The passion, the beauty
Far beyond my dreams
Everyday I walk with Him

I see the goal up ahead
It’s everything that Jesus said
To wear His glory
And all He’s done for me
Like a golden crown laid at His feet!

To walk with Him
To talk with Him
To hear His voice
To feel His touch
To be like Him

THE FACE OF YOUR MERCY
w&m Terry Clark

Your mercy has found me
Your kindness has captured my heart
Your patience has grounded me
In love that will never fade away
Now I know
Now I see

Your peace has surrounded me
And now all is well with my soul
Your words have astounded me
They still every wave and calm the storm
The face of Your mercy

Your mercy has found me
Your kindness has captured my heart
Your healing confounded me
And plunged me beneath a cleansing flood
Now I know
Now I See
The face of Your mercy

So Thankful
w&m Terry Clark

As we gather together
Give us love for one another
May we honor You
In all that we do
As we seek for Your wisdom
To build on firm foundation
Let Your Spirit come
And make us one

We’re so thankful
For all that You have done
We’re so thankful
For all You want to do
We’re so thankful
For all that You have done
We’re so thankful
For You

Every day You’ve been faithful
Every morning we’re so grateful
Just to be Your friend
And serve You again
Fill our hearts with Your purpose
Show the plans that You’ve made for us
Lord, in every way
This is Your day

At Calvary
words William R. Newell & Daniel B Towner
music Terry Clark

Years I spent in vanity and pride
Caring not my Lord was crucified
Knowing not it was for me He died
On Calvary
He died on Calvary
Where He set me free

Mercy there was great and grace was free
Pardon there was multiplied to me
There my burdened soul found liberty
At Calvary
It was at Calvary
Where He set me free

By God’s Word at last my sin I learned
Then I trembled at the law I’d spurned
Till my guilty soul imploring turned
To Calvary
I turned to Calvary
Where He set me free

Make A Noise
w&m Terry Clark

Make a noise
Make a noise
Make a joyful noise
To the Lord
To the Lord
To the Lord all ye lands
Serve the Lord with gladness
Come before Him with praise

Enter into His Gates with thanksgiving
And into His Courts with praise
And be thankful unto Him
And bless His holy name

Oh, the Lord, He is good
His mercy is everlasting
His truth, His truth endureth
To all generations

Let’s Have A Good Time
w&m Terry Clark

Let’s have a good time
What makes you have a good time
Let’s have a good time
What makes you feel real fine
May be the last time
We get together here on earth
So for heaven’s sake
Let’s have a good time

Let’s have a good time
Put a big smile on your face
Let’s have a good time
Girls sing tenor, boys sing bass
May be the last time
We get together here on earth
So for heaven’s sake
Let’s have a good time

Let’s have a good time
Sing along if you desire
Let’s have a good time
Love will spread in here like fire
May be the last time
We get together here on earth
So for heaven’s sake
Let’s have a good time

DAWN WILL COME
Words by Terry Clark, Music by Terry Clark & Roby Duke

There’s no darkness or deepest night
With a substance that won’t yield to the light
With the sunrise, break of day
All the shadows, they always run away
Then why should I despair
Why should I even go there
When the morning is on the way
The dawn will come

There’s no evil or devil’s plot
No flaming arrow can penetrate my heart
With the armor bright as day
Face to face, they always run away

Holding God’s hand through the darkest night
We’ll hold on tight
Looking past the shadows to the morning light
The dawn will come
You know we’ll be alright now

LET'S TALK ABOUT JESUS
w&m Terry Clark

Too many empty words
Filling my world up
So many times I wonder
Why did I speak?
But there’s one thing
Worth talking about
Yes, there’s one thing
Always worth talking about…

Let's talk about Jesus
And how He saved us all
His plan, His design
And have you heard His call
Let's talk about Jesus
And what is on His mind
His dreams, His desires
And what are the signs
Of His coming
Oh, He's coming

So many people love
The sound of their own voices
Drowning out the sounds of life
Singing to them
But there’s one thing
Worth talking about
Yes, there’s one thing
Always worth talking about

Jesus, I long to see Your face
Open my eyes I pray
This empty soul is thirsty for Your touch
Change my heart
Change my heart
Change my heart today

SomeOne’s Takin Care O’That
w&m Terry Clark

I don’t have to worry
About the battles I need to fight
There’s SomeOne takin’ care of that
I don’t have to worry
About thieves in the night
There’s SomeOne takin’ care of that

That’s why I’m breathin’ so easy
That’s why I’m singin’ so freely
That’s why there’s a smile on my face
And a feather in my hat
There’s SomeOne takin’ care of that

I don’t have to push & shove
To make sure I get ahead
There’s SomeOne takin’ care of that
I don’t have to know where
The road leads on up ahead
There’s SomeOne takin’ care of that

bridge:

No matter what looks real
No matter how you feel
You’re never too far gone
That you can’t get back
There’s SomeOne takin’ care of that

Jesus Is At The Wheel
Words by Terry Clark, Music by Terry Clark & Joe Bellamy

I’ve tried so many times
To guide this life of mine
Then I remembered
Jesus is at the wheel
And I’ve learned when times get rough
All I know’s just not enough
Then I remember
Jesus is at the wheel

He’s at the wheel
No need to hurry
You’re just along for the ride
He’s at the wheel
No need to worry
‘Cause I know He’ll get you over
To the other side
And when you’re trying so hard
And you feel like it’s just too far
Just remember
Jesus is at the wheel

Love Like You
w&m Terry Clark

Your love was seen by all the world
When You went to the Cross
That’s how we know God’s love is real
But You ascended then poured out
That love on all the earth
Now Your love rests right here in me
A sea of love inside of me
A fountain waiting to be freed

I love You, Lord
Because You first loved me
I love You, Lord
Now come and make of me
The one who loves like You
The one who cares like You do
When those around me need Your love
Let me love like You

Real love won’t save itself
It’s not afraid of sacrifice
But lays its life down for his friend
This love, the light of all the world
The healing for our lives
That love now rests right here in me
A sea of love inside of me
A fountain waiting to be freed
