I wake up in the sunshine
Not a cloud is in the sky
This state of mine starts
Pouring down
A thorn within my mind
And I don’t know why
I feel this way
Psalmist with a blues harp
Knew about the darkest blues
He said his soul was downcast
Lord I feel the same way too
Won’t you tell me
Why I feel this way
This way
When I look in the mirror
I tell myself I’m feeling alright
This deep soul depression
Dark whispers in my ear
Feel alright
Tonight
Medicate to insulate
Might change a thing or two
But lord just can’t shake this feeling
I’m crying out to you
Deep is calling deeper
Did you forget the one you knew
My prayers are weighed

There's a light in the evening
By the house with a window
As she sleeps I hear the
ticking of the clock
When the cool of the morning
Brings a hush to the shadow
In the hall
There's a skylight to the dark
Hush
Baby don't you cry
And I will sing a lullaby
And I can see
I've been away too long
Dusting out the closet by the stairs
When the door swinging open
Bring her smile to the window
In the sky
I see a hundred angels there
Hush

I stood up
You stayed in your chair
You didn't get it
You even looked put out
But I had no doubt
You'd see the change and someday do the same
That was quite awhile ago
The days are getting shorter
They're expecting record lows
If you could hear me pray tonight
Would you be angry or surprised
To hear your name announced
Followed by a pause or even tears
Like I've done for all these years
The days are getting shorter
I suspect it's gonna snow
What does it take to make you see
The love inside of me?
What does it take to make you see
The truth that I believe?
What does it take to make you see
The pain it's causing me?
Why can't you see?
The days are getting shorter
But I won't surrender hope
What does it take to make you see
The love inside of me?
What does it take to make you see
The truth that I believe?
Is there a stone I've left unturned?
Is there a way I've not explored?
What does it take to shake your world?

Why don't we share the love of the Lord together?
Why don't we share the love of the Lord together?
Why don't we share the love

Time moves so slow, my heart beats
Your name. A wind begins to blow,
trying to hold on to this dying flame
I'm reaching out but I don't know,
it seems like I don't even know
You, Lord
CHORUS:
Time stands still when you need
an answer. Time stands still when
you’re all alone. You feel it still
but you need an answer; time stands
still but you're not alone
I asked you why you seldom try;
can My love be too late? The time
we spend is worth the wait
CHORUS
Don't you know that the answers
Will come to the questions you have
in your heart; even though it seems
time's standing still. Hold On,
Hold On, Hold On
Time stands still when you need
an answer. Time stands still when
you’re all alone. You feel it still
God will give you an answer; Time
stands still, you're not alone.
Ecclesiastes 8:6 / Romans 8:24-25

I keep drivin’ them nails
drivin’ them nails right into you
I keep drivin’ them nails
drivin’ them nails
Don’t know why I do
I used to think if I was there
standing with Jesus face to face
I’d be the one to stand up for him
maybe even take his place
I keep drivin’ them nails
drivin’ them nails right into you
I keep drivin’ them nails
drivin’ them nails
Don’t know why I do
I never felt that graceful
I thought that God was keeping score
The more I tried to earn his favor
I’d hit them nails more and more
Why do keep on keep on payin,
On a debt that’s already been paid
I’ve got it made
I keep drivin’ them nails
drivin’ them nails right into you
I keep drivin’ them nails

Everybody's got something
They can give everyday
Make a little bit better
Help somebody find the way
This old life keeps rollin
Surely does everyday
Make a little bit better
Help somebody find the way
Gotta light the way
On the way home back
Light the way
On the way home back
Light they way
On the way home back
Light the way
Everyone's got something to say
Lookin' on to a better day
We forget there's a price to pay
Got to give to give it away
Say help me
Help me, oh my Lord
Standin' cold in the pouring rain
Trails of life are never vain
Don't let the call be put to shame
Gotta serve if you want the same
Say send me
Send me right now
When my Savior Lord walked the Earth
He talked about a second birth
Spilled His blood out on the ground
Gave His life without a sound

You know he's somewhere
But you don't know if he cares
About the way you live
So you throw him up a prayer
You hope he hears you
But the odds are even split
That when he answers
You'll be ready to commit
You've got a hobby and you play it every Sunday
A little fire insurance keeps you coming back for more
Nice man in the suit says you should live it every weekday
You forgot by Monday
Who knows, maybe someday
You know he's somewhere
But you don't know if he cares
About the way you live
So you throw him up a prayer
You hope he hears you
But the odds are even split
That when he answers
You'll be ready to commit
Afraid to tell your friends
You know what they'd be saying
"Lost another buddy to the Jesus Lover's Club
We knew him when he used to hurl at all our parties"
Factory liquidation
What a reputation
You know he's somewhere
But you don't know if he cares
About the way you live
So you throw him up a prayer
You hope he hears you
But the odds are even split
That when he answers
You'll be ready to commit
One foot in the ocean and the sand is getting hotter
Do you need a "JUMP" sign?
Come on in, the water's fine
You know he's somewhere
But the odds are even split
That when he answers

You know my heart was breaking
You know I was thinking
It's already over
But we're just getting started in love
Then you showed me
That my fears were only
Looking at the circumstance
Instead of drawing close to You Lord
And I need You
Oh I want to see You
Now you know Your love
Is still on my mind
Every time I come to You
You show me something new
About Your love
Is still on my mind
No matter how I feel inside
You take my hand and help me climb so high
You know I was lonely
And I thought if only
I could be the kind of man
To stand up to this world You'd use me
But then you showed me
If I would only
Put my life in Your hands
You'd show me things I never planned
And I need You
Oh I want to see You
When I feel like I can't take
Another day of this life
I know that Your love is one thing
I can count on every time
Even though I fail you my Lord
You give Your love to me
And then You give me strength to carry on

Once upon a time in churches of old
The velcro age had yet to unfold
Flannel was king and Sunday School knew
How to make those Bible heroes stick like glue
How to make 'em stick with you
Flannelgraph lions, mounted and mean
The prophet Daniel in between
Head toward heaven, sturdy and true
A man of God who did not fear the gods of men
He didn't fear the lions' den
Every age at every stage
Lions rage
Pray, stand your ground
They'll lie down
Dumb struck, I was shaken and stirred
He wouldn't kowtow, he kept God's word
Teacher said, "Son, this could be you
If you put your trust in God and not the praise of men
You won't fear the lions' den"
Chorus
And if we play by lions' rules
We start lionizing fools
God wrote the book, he'll fortify
And like the eagles we will fly
We're gonna fly
Late one night in a fever dream
The prophet Daniel came to me
"Sir," I said, "I've lost my nerve
I lip serve God and put my faith in Godless men
I fear the lions' den"
Then he said, "Who says I'm not a feline-phobe?
Who says I wasn't ready to wet my robe?
Faith is tough, boy, but God gives grace
So take deep breath, head up, set your face like flint

I've been ridin’ ten thousand miles
of memories; been up and down
and ’round this crazy world. I’m just
a simple man, but one thing that
I know for sure… in this life there
ain’t no middleground
The things I want to say, the world
don't want to hear. Don't care
what people say, gonna say it
laud and clear
CHORUS:
T-T-T-Takin’ on the world, you know
we're takin' on the world.
T-T-T-Takin' on the world you know
we're takin' on the world
Most of my life, my heart was
chained to empty dreams; took my
fill but it never was enough. Then
Holy Fire burned right thru my
empty soul, took ahold, won't ever
let me go.
The things I want to say, the world
don't have to fear; don't care what
people say, gonna say it loud
and clear
CHORUS
T-T-T-Takin’ on the world, you know
we're takin' on the world. Jesus
ain't no joke to me, He's the One
that set me free. I'm takin' on the
world, you know we're takin' on
the world. Yes I know that time will
tell; I'll be standing at the bell…
Takin’ on the world

Looking back at my old school
I think of the things that I used to do
And I remember
Those crazy days gone by
Sometimes I wish I could go back in time
Be changin' what was then
But after everything's been said and done
I'm glad you are my friend
And it's a sweet mystery
That you love me like you do
Oh it's a sweet mystery to me
Little boy that my mama knew
Became a full grown man
I live my life like you taught me to
You know I try the best that I can
And your tender love is so much more
Than the naked eye can see
When my daddy said I love you boy

Runnin' like a freight train
Brunin' down the miracle mile
I was rollin' like a hurricane
Turned my head when I saw her smile
Well I've been around the world
And I've seen a lot of things
But it all seems crazy and don't mean a thing
Without your love I'm lost in the dark
Her fire's burning inside my heart
In the light she comes to me
Takes the weight of the world from my shoulders
Turns my eyes to see
The light in a dark world turning
Sister Wisdom
Shine your light on me
You're hard to find but easy to see
I gotta tell ya
I just can't believe
All the things that you've done for me
She sings a smoky torch song
She burns a candle in the night
Her ways of truth are so strong
She lifts me up as my life goes by
Sister Wisdom
Shine your light on me
Sister Wisdom
I gotta tell ya
I just can't believe

You know I just can't fight it, got no
more strength to hide it; inside my
heart I hear the Call. I get tired of
people pleasin’, the same old rhyme
and reason; is it any wonder that
we fall
CHORUS I:
Tear down the walls around me, the
time has come to make a stand;
open up my heart to You, Lord;
I want to Iive for You; do anything
You want me to; gonna lay it on
the Iine
CHORUS II:
OOH, send a message out; take it to
The people everywhere. OOH,
send a message out, take it to My
people everybody shout
You feel the war around you, you
start to run and hide because you
don't know what to do. You’ve got
no need to worry about the fire
and fury; the Blood of Christ will
cover you
CHORUS I
CHORUS II
Take it all around the world, take
this Message to the people
everywhere
CHORUS I
CHORUS III:
OOH, send a message out; take
it to the people everywhere. Won't
you please send a message out,
take it to My people, everybody
shout
REPEAT CHORUS III

I've been up
And I've been down
But everything is just fine, fine, fine, fine, fine it's true
Tougher skin?
Guess again
But not because I don't try, try, try, try, I always do
And I don't want nobody
Telling me I'm nobody
I've got a revelation
I'm a new creation, baby
The world can't bring me down
You think what?
Why the rut?
'Cause if you're towing the line, line, line, those days are through
You know it says it right here
Right here
Take a good look at this
Intent
No, you're no accident
Why let life get you confused
Don't let anybody
Tell you you're nobody
I've got a revelation
You're a new creation, baby
The world can't bring you down
And I've got a revelation
You've been elevated, baby
The world can't bring you down
Big screen tells ya 'You gotta look this way
You got no beauty beyond what you display'
But don't they get it it's what's inside you
So take your place and don't ever hid your face
All those fashion victims
Seem so aggravated
Going with the flow is
Very over-rated
I've got a revelation
You're a new creation, baby
The world can't bring you down
I've got a revelation
You've been elevated, baby
The world can't bring you down
The world can't bring you down
The world can't bring you down
The world can't bring you down

Tried to find myself
Instead I found a stowaway
Technicolor realm
A supersonic holiday
When the drink has lost its fizz
Like a dog returns to his
Drowning in the ebb and flow
Shove that conscience back
Can't afford an overload
Reaching up too high
We fell away
Reaching for a sun ray
It happened in the sixties
It happens today
Psychedelic runaway
Runaway
Smack strap flashback truth
Little Jackie's got a bluish grin
Face that empty tomb
In vein she tries to fill it in
Looking up too high
She fell away
Reaching for a sun ray
It happened in the sixties
It happens today
Psychedelic runaway
Runaway
You don't understand
You won't
You can't grasp the plan
You won't
Looking up too high
You fell away
Reaching for a sun ray
It happened in the sixties
It happens today
Psychedelic runaway
Feathers started melting
As you flew the skies
Searching for the undefined
What happened in the sixties
Still happens today

[Originally by U2]
One man come in the name of love
One man come and go
One man come, he to justify
One man to overthrow
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
One man caught on a barbed wire fence
One man he resist
One man washed on an empty beach.
One man betrayed with a kiss
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
(nobody like you...)
Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love
What more in the name of love
In the name of love

We're welcomed
With indifference
To the dark rooms of your mind
The meter's running
Time to see the world
Through your troubled eyes
Another tortured genius screams
So you've tried everything?
You don't include the leap of faith
That might take you off your throne
You've got one thing left to do
You've got one thing left to do
Don dark glasses
Fire the masses
Could this be Messiah envy?
No rules
Big plan
Curse God
Curse man
Fed like junkies
Poisoned I.V.s
Cold sweat like warm blood
Flowing down your anger mask
That double-cross you hear
Weighs you toward the fall
Charmed to meet you
Why the crowd?
Misfit angst
Is well-endowed these days
With a touch of show-biz
And sacrilege on call
You've got one thing left to do
You've got one thing left to do
Know-alls
No show
Some crawl
I know
God's still calling
You're still stalling
Dead from dry rot
Soul sleep
Blood clot
Face it
You've got
One thing left to do
Appointed in this life
A single choice for everyman

Whoa-oh Woah-oh
Whoa-oh Woah-oh
I hear a voice throughout the land
He says come join us if you can
Open your eyes - can't you see?
Love must be the truth to believe
Woah-oh - Woah-oh Mystery Man
Woah-oh - Woah-oh Mystery Man
The people heed to what you say
They watch you steal their souls away
Open your eyes - can't you see?
Living in a dream world can't set us free
Woah-oh - Woah-oh Mystery Man
Woah-oh - Woah-oh Mystery Man
Mystery Man
What are your plans
Open your eyes can't you see
Love can't close its eyes to history
Woah-oh - Woah-oh Mystery Man

Esther called me today
She's a bona fide star
Said I spoke to a friend
Who wants to know how you are
With a shake in her voice
She said, "I'm doing ok."
With a shake in her voice
She said, "I can't live this way."
She doesn't know why
She wants to laugh but still she cries
Still she cries
Spoke to Esther today
She said it's hard to play queen
Though she fought it at first
This pain's become her routine
And she wants to believe
But the image won't play
And she wants to believe
But that's a long time away
Kingdoms collide
As she tries to rule the world inside
She starts to cry
Take that crown off my Queen Esther
It's too much for anyone to bear
Don't hide your face Queen Esther
My King says he'll meet you anywhere
He says it's ok
He knows your pain
He says it's ok
He'll show you the way
He'll take your pain
He'll show you the way
Esther called me today
She's a bona fide star
Said I spoke to a friend
Who wants to know how you are

See my life in a movie show
A hiding place I used to know
Played an actor's role that stole from my true part
Take me down the road a ways
And I'm thankful for these better days
I never dreamed you’d love me like you do
My it seems it’s been a long and lonely winter
I hear your voice in the morning
When I'm sad
I feel you smile and whisper to me
Every little thing will be alright
Like the sun
Comes shinin' through my window
Breaks the darkness in the early morning light
Sing a song of sixpence
And a pocket full of rye
In the fall it seems the blackbirds fly away
And there's times I'm feelin' not so strong
Can't face another highway song
Then I remember
That you're never too far away
As I walk down this lonely stretch of highway
I hear your voice callin' me back home
When I'm sad
I feel you smile and whisper to me
Every little thing will be alright
Like the sun
Comes shinin' through my window
Breaks the darkness in the early morning light
Long ago and so far away
Lives a dream, a dream I used to know
Like the sun in the morning
Shinin' on my face, you bring me home again
Home again to you
I'm so glad
To feel you smile
And whisper to me
Every little thing will be alright
Like the sun

Once I was alone
Some mistakes in my past
Had left me living on my own
My only prayer
Was the fate of my past
I wondered if you were still there
I was hiding in the shadowlands
Scared to admit I was a broken man
Now I'm missing you
Every thought every word everything
Leads me back to you
Can you forgive me
Just a touch of your hand
And I’ll know that your love is true
I surrender all I’ve kept from you
Lord I'll do anything to be with you
Reach out your hand
Lift me up from this place I have fallen
Lift me up
Reach out your hand
Lift me up from this place I have fallen
Lift me up
Lift me
And I surrender all I am to you
Lord I'll do anything to be with you
Reach out your hand
Lift me up from this place I have fallen
Lift me up
Reach out your hand
Lift me up from this place I have fallen
Lift me up
Lift me up

I am weak
You are strong
You give me hope
To carry on
In this lonely world
I can feel You by my side
I was dead
You made me live
You lift me up
How could You give?
Such endless love
I can never repay Your love
And I made up my mind
I'm gonna leave the things of this old world behind
And I'll give You my dreams
And when trouble clouds the way
It's always better than it seems
Let the whole word
Be filled with His glory
Forever and ever
Amen
All my life
You cared for me
Your gentle touch
Has shown to me
You're such a loving God
What do You see in me?
And I made up my mind
I'm gonna leave the things of this old world behind
And I'll give You my dreams
And when trouble clouds the way
It's always better than it seems
Let the whole world
Be filled with His glory
Forever and ever
Amen
You're the only thing
In my life that never seems to change
Oh I have to say
Oh my Lord, You are my everything
You're my everything
You're my everything
And I made up my mind
I'm gonna give You everything I thought was mine
And I'll lift up Your name so high
I'm gonna let the people see
Just what You mean to me
Let the whole world
Be filled with His glory

Let your love roll on
Let it roll
Things you've given to me
May I never let them go
Let your love roll on
Let it roll
Keep that river flowin'
Give me power in my soul
Whells spinnin' round and round
Never seem touch the ground
You can't stop what's set in motion
Rivers flow into the ocean...Love
Like the raging of the sea
From the deep you rescued me
In a world that's goin' crazy
Lines are gettin' hazy
Lord your truth is crystal clear to me
Forever is a highway
Lord you bring me through
Take me down the road that leads to you
You opened up my eyes to see
The riches of your majesty
Love is flowin' down on me
Your peace is like a river runnin' free
Forever is a highway
Shinin' ever new

I got a dash-mount compass that won't direct
I got a "get rich" guru that calls collect
I got a psychic adviser saying "Get a lifeguard --
I'm gettin' bad vibes off of your deal-a-meal card"
Tell me why their words ring hollow
Lead the way and I will follow
If You can lead me out of this maze
I got shrinks that send me to victim class
I got talk show show-offs giving me gas
I got assertiveness trainers yelling "Shove, shove, shove"
I got no one teaching me how to love love
The more I chew the less I swallow
Lead the way and I will follow
Follow Your footsteps through this maze
Up we struggle, down we slide
Scared to call on a bigger guide

Checking out channels
In for the night
I catch sight of a starving innocent
Her eyes are swollen shut from neglect
I wonder, is it mine?
Channeling on
I keep coming back
My stomach's twisted watching her cry
Whose arms will hold her when she dies?
I know they won't be mine
Can't take much of that
Don't wanna see that, man
Don't gimme none of that
No no no
I was all alone
A stranger in this place
And you turned away
What you've done with these
You have done to me
Now there's hell to pay
Righteous anger's boiling my blood
But who's to blame for this child's lack?
Some ethnic war?
Some crack maniac?
I wonder, is it me?
Hold on
Pizza man's at the door
I'm scrounging change, but who could forget
That poor abandoned innocent
You can bet her life it's me
Can't take much of that
Don't wanna see that, man
Don't gimme none of that
No no no
I was all alone
A stranger in this place
And you turned away
What you've done with these
You have done to me
Now there's hell to pay
Can't take much of that
Don't wanna see that, man
Don't gimme none of that
No no no
I was all alone
A stranger in this place
And you turned away
What you've done with these
You have done to me
Now there's hell to pay
What you've done with these
You have done to me
Do you even care?
What you've done with these
You have done to me

SHAME IS LIKE A BLISTER EVERY STEP WILL MAKE IT WORSE -
AND THE VESSELS OF YOUR GREAT ESCAPE HAVE ALL BUT DISAPPEARED -
AND YOU HEAR THE SAVIOR CALL YOU TO A LIFE BEYOND YOUR MEANS
AND I KNOW EVEN A SIMPLE FAITH IS HARDER THAN IT SEEMS- IT SEEMS-
CAN YOU HAVE A PERFECT LOVER WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING LOVE?
CAN YOU SEE A BRIGHTER FUTURE WITHOUT SEEKING WHAT YOU HIDE?
AND I UNDERSTAND THAT SIMPLE TRUTH IS DEEPER THAN IS WIDE-
STILL I KNOW
SOMETIMES IT'S HARDER THAN IT SEEMS-
SOMETIMES IT'S HARDER THAN IT SEEMS-
AND YOU'RE WANTING TO BELIEVE -

For 24 years I've lived this life
In 24 hours I'll leave this life
Powder flash
As the earth gave way
Crimson blooms
On my coat of gray
The light grows dark as I awake
Angels dance my soul to take
I hear them say
Take the hand of the Father
As he leads you to the land
Of no tomorrow
Take the hand of the Father
As he leads you to the land
Of no more sorrows
Mama I'll miss your tender care
Daddy I hope I'll see you there
I tried so hard to do what's right
The time has come
To give up this fight
Lord I hear your still small voice
In a childhood vow

I was just thinking about You and
all the things that we've been thru.
You never left me standing in
heartache, and You've always
seen me thru.
CHORUS I:
I thank you for the Love You bring
me each and every day. After all
the things You’ve done for me,
there's only one thing I can say.
CHORUS II:
Forever and a day, You, know my
heart will always stay, cause I
believe in You . . . I believe in You.
No matter what they say, forever
and a day, I believe in You, I
believe in You
At times it gets a little bit crazy;
sometimes I get a little toop far away.
I know that times are really
changing, but Your love stays the
same.
CHORUSI
CHORUS II
You’ve always been my Light in the
middle of darkness. You've always
been the hope that lights the way;
and forever I will stay

CHORUS II
Psalm 86:11-13 / Hosea 2:19-20

Even
Even it out
Even
Even it out
New extremes
No strings
Appetite
More things
Rights of passage
Steer the free
To anarchy
Silver tongues
In God's house
Green the plate
Clean up
Too late
These sugar kingdoms
Will melt away

There's a place outside of Memphis
Where I met the travelin' man
Preachin' on a wall of sound
Built by his ragin' band
I saw a sparklein his eye
When I asked him for his name
He said Dr. Jones is who I am
Are You ready to play my game
I can take you to the mountain
But only heavens love can set you free
Dr. Jones & The Kings Of Rhythm
Dr. Jones He’s a rhythm king
Dr. Jones & The Kings Of Rhythm
Tearin' darkness down with a ragin' swing
Townsfolk wouldn't hear the Doc
And they drove him Out Of town
He'd shake the dust right off his feet
And leave without a sound
But you know he spoke the truth to me
Gave me reason to believe
Tell it round the whole wide world
I'll I never be the same
Well he took me to the mountain
But it was heaven’s love that set me free
And he wonders if each trial
Is really worth each dusty mile
Every night
He dreams right through the pain
He smiles

In younger days it seemed to me
Growin' old could never be
All the crazy games we used to play
Levitating something more
Sliding on the devil bored
Candles burning all the mystery
Mirror Mirror
On the wall
Who's gonna catch me when I fall
Don't you know that it's more than it seems
You say it's only curiosity
Ally Ally Oxen Free
Never meant a lot to me
Can't hide nothing at all
Play with fire you'll get burned
Seems some people never learn
Curiosity killed the cat
Superstitions fill your mind
Don't know where to draw the line
A religion of a different kind
Tellin' futures with a card
Make a wish upon a star
Lady Luck is just a thin disguise
Well it was not last night but the night before
Twenty four robbers knockin' on my door
Step on a crack
Break your mamas back
Catch a tiger by the toe

C'mon everyone
Lift the name of Jesus high
You won't know until you try
C'mon everyone
He's the Lord of everything
Time to lift your voice and sing
Right now
What can I say but that I'm happy
About the things the Lord has done in my life
If things don't seem that good they can be
Take a look at them through a different set of eyes
Oh it's very simple
We've just got to learn to trust him more
When we do we open up the door
Don't be afraid to call on Jesus
You know there's power in the blood of the Lamb
Don't be afraid you know He sees us
And reaches down to hold us up with His hand
Oh it's very simple
We've just got to learn to thank Him more
When we do we open up the door
Everybody
Wants to find direction
Just a little peace in their lives
Everybody

You've got clueless commentators
Telling folks to stay inside
You've got light investigators
Pulling shades and terrified
You've got powers of the darkness
Blowing smoke to dim the skies
Your psychics look a little anxious
Anybody out there, wonder why?
I've got a bottle rocket
I've got a bottle rocket
I've got a bottle rocket
Got a little light to testify
No power's gonna block it
No darkness gonna stop it
I've got a bottle rocket
Gonna let it fly
Let it fly
You've got experts on retainer
Bracing for the next attack
You've got allies dimming lights
From Hollywood to doctor Jack
You enact a good news blackout
Think you've got us on the run?
Well read the book of acts and weep
The light of Jesus can't be overcome
I've got a bottle rocket
I've got a bottle rocket
I've got a bottle rocket
Got a little light to testify
No power's gonna block it
No darkness gonna stop it
I've got a bottle rocket
Gonna let it fly
Let it fly
Light isn't light
When it's found
Bottle bound
I've got a bottle rocket
I've got a bottle rocket
I've got a bottle rocket
Got a little light to testify
No power's gonna block it
No darkness gonna stop it
I've got a bottle rocket
Gonna let it fly

Our darling wandered far away while she was out at play
Lost in the woods she couldn't hear a sound
She was our darling girl the sweetest thing in all the world
We searched for her but she couldn't be found
I heard the screams of our little girl far away
Hurry Daddy there's and awful dreadful snake
I ran as fast as I could through the dark and dreary woods
But I reached our darling girl too late
Oh I began to cry I knew that soon she'd have to die
For the snake was warning me close by
I held her close to my face she said daddy kill that snake
It's getting dark tell mommy goodbye
To all parents I must say don't let your children stray away
They need your love to guide them along
Oh God I pray we'll see our darling girl some day

"Sometimes it gets so thick in here," she said
Clearing the plates from another power lunch
Then she laughed at herself and told me what was good
No ring, no coy disguise, but world-weary innocence in her eyes
Said, "Every false move you make will be withstood"
"Lies, like rust, decay
Is your heart that way?
Vows, like prayers, are heard
Are you gonna keep your word?
And when in time I pledged heart and soul
She said, "Love is patient
But you must know that feelings come and go Like these sainted patrons"
Lies, like rust, decay
Is your heart that way?
And good intentions are no guarantee, just look at me
Are you gonna keep your word?"
When the seige begins
When the thieves break in
Will you stand your ground?
And when you fight the wars on foreign soil
Will I rest assured?
Are you gonna keep your word?
And as we watch our children sleep
I take her hand, I feel her ring
I have been faithful, but I know my heart is not above deceit
Lies, like rust, decay
Is your heart that way?
Vows, like prayers, are heard
Will I keep my word?
Lies, little lies come back to haunt you like petty fraud

The sunset sky... reminds me of the days we've left behind
You were more than just a friend to me... but now it's over
But I still care… and it hurts me so to see you unaware
That heaven's love is reaching out to you
Open your eyes
Oh tell me...
Angelina
You're running away from God's eternal life
Oh, can't you see it?
Angelina
He's just a prayer away
Days move by He waits for you… He longs to heal your heart
And hold you in his loving arms so strong
Foreverafter Love lives on... nothing can take you away if you belong
When you've been touched and then consumed by God
You're right where you belong
Oh tell me... –
Angelina -
You're running away from God's eternal life -
Oh, can't you see it? -
(Can you feel it?) -

You and I we belong together
Say a prayer and make it last forever
When you need a friend to lean on
I'll be there
Winds of change bring the stormy weather
But in the end it only makes things better
You know I want to be your only one
I'll be there
I remember the day that I met you
My emotions were swept away
No other one has ever made me feel this way
We've grown...our love has grown
Even when you're far away
My heart is not alone
When you hold me
I know that love is here to stay
You...You're the only one that's on my mind
Darlin' can you feel it
You...girl you know our love is one of a kind
There's just one thing that I gotta tell ya
Hear what I say
You...You're the only one that's on my mind
You bring me sunshine when my skies are gray

Once upon a time
I dreamed that you were mine
That you held my heart so very near
Oh I was so alone
No one to call my own
Till you came along and filled my heart
It seemed so many times that I would never
Never find the love my heart was searching for
No I never knew the joy of sweet surrender
But all that's behind me
Only reminds me
Of your love
I long for your embrace
To see the beauty of your face
And the song in my heart, it sings of you
And if I go astray
Or just get lost along the way
I know you'll be there to see me through
It seemed so many times that I would never
Never find the love my heart was searching for
No I never knew the joy of sweet surrender
But all that's behind me
Only reminds me
Of your love
So many nights
So many days
So many things that words can't say
With every breath my love keeps getting stronger

Jenny's sixteen, she was feeling
down; living on the edge in a dead
end town; everybody’s talking,
saying she', gonna fall. Daddy left
home when Jenn was five;
Mamma's broke down, is she dead
or alive. When it all adds up,
she's got nothing at all
You gotta Turnaround, you know
Love won't lot you down. I wanna
tell you, now, I know a Love that
won't let you down
Now she's eighteen, gonna leave it
behind; heading for the city, got
the lights in her eyes; gonna make
it happen. She’s playin’ to win,
livining high wire wuith the happening
crowd. For a while she was happy,
now it's bringin' her down No
matter where you, go, you know
it's all the same.
CHORUS:
You gotta Turnaround, you know
Love won't let you down. I wanna
tell you now, I know a Love that
won't let you down. You gotta
Turnaround, you know Love won't
let you down. I wanna tell you,
now, you gotta Turnaround,
Turnaround
You lie awake and you remember
the Love you felt so long ago; the
Voice that spoke to you when you,
were younger. The Love of God
won't let you go, I want you to know
CHORUS

My life, before my eyes going back
Again. Memories of days gone by
when I thought I had reached the
end. Life an be so cruel when you
know that you, have given all
you've got, but you can't break
free. Love can be so strong when
you give your heart up to the One
who gives you strenght to carry on
CHORUS I:
Time and Time again, You helped
me thru; Time and Time again, You
showed me the Way; Time and
Time again You helped me thru,
I keep running thru the danger zone
CHORUS II
Oh Lord, You're always watching
over me ... Oh Lord, now I'm the
man that I should be
I came into this life, I thought I was
my own. But there is a love greater
than all, I can't make it alone.
Life can be so cold when you know
that you have given all you've
got, but it's not enough. Love can
be so good when you, give your life
up to the One who gives you
strength to carry on.
CHORUS I
CHORUS II
CHORUS II
Your love is so good and You're
always watching over me. Now
I'm the man that I should be
CHORUS I
Psalm 86 / II Corinthians 6:2

When I'm down and I'm cold, and
the blues have taken their toll;
and it looks like there's nowhere for
me to go. I feel the passion, I feel
pain and it looks like I'm gonna lose
again, so tell me ... whose gonna
stop the rain? It's gonna be You
Oh Lord
Just woke up from the longest
dream; a storm was raging down
on me. A fear so strong took ahold
of my soul; felt so weak I couldn't
take anymore; I couldn't take
anymore.
I saw a Man, eyes like fire; storm
rolled back with a wave of His
Power. Love lifted me higher; fear
fell away with the touch of His
Hand.
CHORUS I:
Livin' on faith; Never say never;
standing tall when the rain comes
down; gotta make it thru the stormy
weather; standing tall when the
rain comes down
I’m so glad what He's done for me;
took away my blues so easily.
Storms are gonna come and you
know it's a fact; but the Power of
the Lord is gonna make you stand
Love lifted me; fear fell away with
The touch of His hand
CHORUS I
CHORUS II:
Livin' on Faith ... Never Say never;
Standing toll when the rain comes
down. Gonna give it all, now and
forever; standing tall when the rain
comes down
The storm keeps raging down on
Me, but I will rise above, I’ll rise
above. Love is Ilifting me higher; His
love has lifted me higher. So I'll be
standing when the rain comes down.
Love lifted me; fear fell away with
The touch of His hand
CHORUS I
CHORUS II

He was a captain
Flew a silver sail
Playing a wind song like a part of the sea
He followed the sunshine
Charted the stars
Like a part of the ocean...a part of the sea
And what he did not fear was the journey
Or the treasures left behind
And he did not run from the answer
What he did not hear were the lies
He told a story
Sailed through storms
Painted a picture lived in the scenes
Some say he was crazy
Living in a dream
But he sailed with a reason out on a crystal sea
And what he did not fear didn't hurt him
What he did not seek didn't find
And he would not run from the answers
What he did not hear were the lies
Sail on captain sail on
Let your guiding light lead you cross the ocean
And though his eyes were old
He saw much more than many men could see
Now even though he's gone
His legacy lives on
A simple faith that takes me cross the sea
And home again
As the stormy sea keeps raging on
Sometimes I miss my home
Take me home
I can feel it when the wind blows
And I hear you call my name
Take me home
I've been away too long
Take me home
Let your spirit lead me on
And until that day

There's a friend of mine
Who lives up town
Ain't nothin' much
Can bring him down
Standing tall
And Shorty is his name
Shorty likes to play guitar
Shorty likes to drive his car
But Shorty knows
You can't take it when you go
Shorty's smilin'
Cause he knows just what to do
Shorty's stylin'
He says you better get that thing in tune
Shorty knows about true love
Shorty's saved by Jesus' blood
Shorty ain't afraid
To let you know
Shorty says he likes this song
He says, "Play that one
That's not too long"
Shorty knows that time is short
He stands so tall

Shoeshine Johnny's just doin' time
Settin' up shop at the five and dime
Seen a whole lot of miles...got a few more to go
Everyone says he's a humble man
Tell ya bout life like no one can
With a wink and a smile he'd let ya know
All kinda people come from miles around
Just to hear Johnny tell his stories
Talk about the days gone by
Talkin' bout future glory
Round round round he goes
Tell you how the good Lord knows
He'd be shinin' most every day
Sit right down listen what he say
Some like to play with fire
But there's a love that's higher
And you know the Lord's been good to me for sure
Hard times can come and go
But one things for sure I know
Whe I die
The richest mand I'll be
Lookin' back I remember the times
Laughin-and-a-jokin-and-a-feelin fine
Ol' Johnny pick you up when you're feelin' low
His words hand on in my memory
The dusty ol' book that he read to me
Even now I'm grown they speak to me
What gains a man to win the world
But lose his very soul
Riches of the promised land
Much better than silver and gold
Oh how wise is he that makes the Lord his company
Fearless of the days to come
Knowin' that the battles won
Listen son he said to me
Jesus died to set us free
You're old enough it's time to chose
With the Lord you'll never lose

It's hard to say goodbye, my friend,
But this waiting can't last forever;
Sooner or later the sun must set
Ending this time together.
I wish that i had one more chance
To spend another day with you,
And even though i know i can
I'll see you in heaven.
The only thing that hurts more than losing you
Are all of the years of living without you.
I wanna run back to you
And show you the life i've lived without you,
'cause living without you is the only thing that hurts
More than you.
I see a picture of a little child,
Standing alone, wondering where you are.
I can't believe how this child has grown,
Living this life, sometimes so alone.
Wishing i had one more chance
To have you hold me once again,
Now even though i know you can
You'll hold me in heaven.
I've let so many years of life go by
Thinking it's all worked out.
Now i realize i do now
To say that it's over and let you go for now.
Still, i wish that i had one more chance
To say i love you one more time,
And even though i know i can
I'll say it in heaven.

Hey mister
Can't you see?
We're living in a mystery
Oh daughter
Lose your mind
You're looking but you just can't find
You won't find
You said you'd always be mine
You don't speak truth, do you daughter?
I've seen the road of destruction
You won't speak truth to me father
You need to find yourself
You need to buy
Rich man over the line
Rich man over the line
Rich man over the line
Rich man over the line
You'll do fine
You won't speak truth to me mother
You have a choice don't you baby
You'll take a life if you wanna
You call it choice cause you have to
You need to find yourself
You need to free your guilt
You need to dust my shelf
You need to buy
Hey mister
Can't you see?
We're living in a mystery
Oh daughter lose your mind
This world is on the line
Rich man
Look at the rich man
He's such a rich man
She's such a rich man
There goes a rich man
Where's there a rich man?
I'm such a rich man
Fell in the ditch, man

Well the Preacher went a-huntin'
On a Sunday morn
Though it was against his religion
He took his gun along
Shot himself some very fine quail
One big weaselly hare
And on the way returnin' home
He met a grizzly bear
Well the bear marched out in the middle of the road
Up to the Preacher, you see
Preacher got so excited
Climbed up a cinnamon tree
Well the bear sat down on the ground
Preacher out on a limb
He turned his eyes to the Lord in the skies
These words he said unto Him
He said, "Oh Lord!
Didn't you deliver Daniel from the Lions' Den?
A-men!
Jonah from the belly of a whale and then
Three hebrew children from the fiery furnace
The good book do declare
Oh, Lord
If you can't help me, please don't help that bear."
The Preacher stayed up in that tree
I think it was all night
He said, "Oh Lord, don't help that bear
Or you'll see an awful fight!"
Just about then the limb let go
Preacher came a-tumblin' down
You shoulda seen him get his razor out
Before he hit the ground
He hit that ground cuttin' right to left
Put up a very good fight
Just then the bear hugs this man
Squeezed him a little too tight
Well the Preacher lost his razor
But the bear hung on to him
He turned his eyes to the Lord in the skies
These words he said unto Him
He said, "Oh Lord!
Didn't you deliver Daniel from the Lions' Den?
A-men!
Jonah from the belly of a whale and then
Three hebrew children from the fiery furnace
The good book do declare

Another day try to stand up straight;
keep the world from draggin' me,
down’; fight the flames that feed
the fire, but my mind keeps spinnin'
around. Holding on to what You
said, cuz I know Your words are
true; only way to win this fight is
to keep my eyes on, You
CHORUS
Fire and Love, the two extremes
that we live between. Fire and
Love, there’s more to life than the
eye can see.
Feelin' down, well I've been there
too; I know just how you, feel. A
winning hand from every side, it's
hard to tell what's real. Caught
between the two extremes, Feel
the pull from side to side. Trying
to run the easy road; just enough
to get you by.
BRIDGE:
Oh Lord, I know You've got the
answers; Oh Lord, I know You are
the Way. Oh Lord, I know You
are the Answer, Oh Lord, I need
You, everyday.
