CRUCIALITY
Inside my selfish
thinking
In the middle I'm
always sinking
I am so far down
I can't escape
But all around the
trees are falling
Too much sunshine
comes in
And so I wait another
day
What is brightest
in my life
And what will I
receive (tomorrow)
If I'm Spirit filled
will I be so content (so content with sorrow)
Crucial is my mind
on Christ
So much He had to
(He had to die)
Buildings empty,
standing tall
Precious people
breathe and fall
What will you have
when all is thru?
Or maybe then I
save the sea
For other people
after me
Instead I am never
living now
Turn my eyes and
to the stars
Is there life so
very far?
Or better is there
any very near
It is this so understand
me
Christ gave so we
can be free
And will I wait
another day
Is this love?
Is this life?
This world's already
gone
This world needs
the Son
But we have so many
things to do?
And so enough of
flower power
Step on ways that
make us sour
We cannot wait another
day.
ALL PRETTY FOR THE
T.V.
I see the wealthy
guy
The world in his
eyes
He need not contain
no pain or shame
"And never will,"
I cry
And I'm a dirty
word
You know I'm so
absurd
If I write things
off as meaningless
So I'm never heard
Stare and no care
into nowhere
Round and round
pounds the sound inside
We never give it
up
Well, I can never
live up and the box won't shut up
Ground me out without
a doubt
We never give it
up
So I didn't need
a book to get the certain look
now
Well, I just tune
it in
So this is what
it means to live
And I am really
free
Cause you and me
are we and how
We always fit right
in
So this is what
it means to live
And now I'm turning
blue
Without a thing
to do
Cause I'm wrapped,
enthralled and my brain it stalls
I can't think it
thru
Give me a second
chance
I'll learn your
happy dance
Cause I want to
be in, forget the sin
You'd think I'm
in a trance
Have you got the
ears to hear
And would you draw
so near
Cause it's got things
to say and us to change
You know you needn't
fear
So make your senses
soft
And never turn it
off
Just step inside
and join the ride
Here's our real
God.
SHINE
What is it like when
it's gone?
All the day and
the night and the song
And what seems so
real
Is what keeps us
from the dawn
Truly I know it
sometimes
I see the reasons
and signs
That this world
can only turn so many times
In a simple way
Though I be so wrong
Though I turn away
I know where I belong
Feelings all around
in me
Do this, do that,
and you'll see
That it's hard to
find
Just what we need
where we seek
I'll say it again
that I've tried
To find the right
ways on this ride
Where we're upside
down
And we still will
try to hide
In a simple way
Though I be so wrong
Though I turn away
I know where I belong
And the Son will
shine
And the reign won't
fall
And I know inside
How He loves us
all
Our hands will get
so that they
Can't pull us up
all the day
We need to find
that now we have to say.
DRENCHED DECENT
Can you feel this
love that flows?
Do you thirst? Do
you know?
And will this water
fill your soul?
Well I am drenched
to the bone.
And does the fountain
run at your feet?
Or would you bow?
Get on your knees.
Well we must sail
in this sea.
Well I am drenched
and taken home.
It’s taken me my
life.
He’s given grace
and open eyes.
And now this river
carries me
Today and forevermore
Well He has said
“Come drink your fill
This is love and
this is My will”
And so I put my
hands in the stream
Well I am quenched
and taken home
Now leave your cup
and won’t you come on in
Let’s throw this
crazy life and sin
Now give yourself
and do not thirst no more
Well I am drenched
to the bone
It’s taken me my
life.
He’s given grace
and open eyes.
And now this river
carries me
Today and forevermore
It’s taken me my
life.
He’s given grace
and open eyes.
And now this river
carries me
Today and forevermore

DIGGING DEEP
so now hold your
breath
and set the stage
prepare your self
for the cynic's rage
is it a question
still of who is man?
or how they feel
with what i am
but digging deep
i found a way
what more do i need
to say
gone thru life and
death
and what remains
if any blemish hang
your head in shame
like a fever that
just keeps you down
would you simply
let it stay around?
'digging deep' i
guess i say
is more pridefulness
of that day
in truth i know
that it is clear
i was distant, God
is near
in the goodness and
strife
found an empty wanting
life
though so long made
no sound
with tears i bowed
myself down
won't you greet this
man
and hear his words
maybe an open ear
would make him stir
could a closed heart
have saved a man?
digging deep i guess
i say
is more pridefulness
of that day
in truth i know
that it is clear
i was distant, God
is near
so now hold your
breath and set the stage
prepare yourself
for the cynics rage
is it a question
still of who is man?
or how they feel
and what i am
RECEIVE
tell the jury

check your name
check your head
I've heard more
joy
from some - someone
dead

tree
and I can't help
it makes me think
made of dirt
full of greed
like a theif
making life in robbery
mae a crown
for the pain
and it falls on
your mind
like so much rain
receive
too close
too far
too insane
receive
CHANCE FOR THE CHANCERS
- Remix
everything's gonna
be okay
He's gonna wipe
those fears away
and before the night
is thru
this is all going
to make sense to you
but you won't hear
these words
no you don't have
the time
that would be a
crime
right now, right
away
before it gets to
cold
and I know how it
kills
and I know how it
makes you ill
but you won't hear
these words
no you don't have
the time
that would be a
crime
everything's gonna
be okay
He's gonna wipe
those fears away
and before the night
is thru
this is all going
to make sense
WHAT IF UNCLE BEN
HAD LIVED?
falling down the
stairs
climb into the sea
the world is on
it's hands
then it's on it's
feet
touch the silent
man
who cares where
he goes
stand high above
his back
like the ground
beneath your toes
the breeze is to
much for me - anymore
(I've seen
this in people who are weak)
and if I push the
blade in deep
will it break inside
of me
in me, in me...
reaching for a star
with my eyes dead
on the floor
racing all the time
my soul can't take
much more
touch the silent
man
who makes himself
so low
will I spit on him
again
and turn myself
away
what more will it
take
falling down the
stairs
climb into the sea
the world is on
it's hands
then it's on it's
feet
touch the silent
man
who makes himeself
so low
make your self as
small
just He and I and
all
HELLO SUNNY WEATHER
She shook her head
and turned away
she said she will
not hear my voice today
"you are still asleep
and still the same,
same as the day
you said you'd change."
and with my thoughts
she let me stand
with words that
scared my face and hands
maybe when I let
my rocket land
she will see the
boy inside the man
break this heart
as cold as stone
you got to, got
to now
then hello sunny
weather
hello sunny weather
breath so deep this
love of Christ
I got to, got to
now
then hello sunny
weather
hello, hello
lovliness it has
a name
like John and Jill
and Bill and Charlemagne
and I guess my years
of acting sane
were spent looking
for the Saviours face
I know I've said
this all before
but I'm sure I mean
it now all the more...
CLOSING DOWN
goonight
sleep tight
the sun is set
and day is night
just you rest
it's all alright
but it's the same
day to day
why can't I
sleep this away
a headache
(keeps me
awake)
my eyes are red
(from trusting
too much in me)
I've got to pray
(I've got
to give this up)
but will He hear
me now?
goodnight
sleep tight
I wish I were
I wish I might
but it's the same
day to day
and I can't
sleep this way
a heartache
(keeps me
awake)
is my brain dead?
(from trusting
too much in me)
I have to say
(I've got
to give this up)
He said He'd hear
me now |
