A hymn is a type of song, usually religious, specifically written for the purpose of praise, adoration or prayer, and typically addressed to a deity or deities, or to a prominent figure or personification. The word hymn derives from Greek ὕμνος (hymnos), which means "a song of praise." Collections of hymns are known as hymnals or hymnbooks.
Ancient hymns include the Egyptian Great Hymn to the Aten, composed by Pharaoh Akhenaten; the Vedas, a collection of hymns in the tradition of Hinduism; and the Psalms, a collection of songs from Judaism. The Western tradition of hymnody begins with the Homeric Hymns, a collection of ancient Greek hymns, the oldest of which were written in the 7th century BC, praising deities of the ancient Greek religions. Surviving from the 3rd century BC is a collection of six literary hymns (Ὕμνοι) by the Alexandrian poet Callimachus.
Patristic writers began applying the term ὕμνος, or hymnus in Latin, to Christian songs of praise, and frequently used the word as a synonym for "psalm".
HYMN
Barclay James Harvest
1977
Valley's deep and the mountains so high, if you want to
See God you've got to move to the other side.
You stand up there with your head in the clouds, don't try
To fly you know you might not come down.
Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down.
Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
The People said it was a virgin birth
Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
The People said it was a virgin birth
He told great stories of the Lord
And said he was the saviour of us all
He told great stories of the Lord
And said he was the saviour of us all
For this they/we killed him,
Nailed him up high
He rose again as if to ask us why
Then he ascended intop the sky
As if to say in God alone you soar
As if to say in God alone we fly.
Valley's deep and the mountains so high, if you want to
See God you've got to move to the other side.
You stand up there with your head in the clouds, don't try
To fly you know you might not come down.
Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down.
try and think of nice things to say
or i might run away
my ears are bleeding
and my heart is worth swallowing
i can run fast, you know i can
i am aghast your favorite man
i can run fast, you know i can
i am aghast your favorite man
Razor's edge deep is your sight
Woman in black tell me why?
People's life is a real slight,
Full of displeasure and fights.
Wich of the water with long braids
Protectress of human's existence
Give me the power in this empty place
With no fantasy or life.
Go, please take me away
And forget my real name!
Go, now! Give me your blood
Get on high above!
Go, please take me away
And forget my real name!
Go, now! Give me your blood
Get on high above!
Running in the moonlight,
Dancing into the rain
Riding my black horse between the flames of my hell..
The blade of justice is broken
Your destiny's in my hands
Open your eyes and remember my pride,
please your lord!
Living in a black dream,
singing into the pain,
falling into darkness between the lies of my hell..
The blade of justice is broken
Your destiny's in my hands
Open your eyes and remember my pride,
please your lord!
Walk on the edge, hold on tight
Woman in dark, ruling the night
Hold back all of your stones
You cut me like a knife.
Never again as long as I live
In this life no more to give,
fearless evil feels like a lie,
leave me alone or I'll die!
Go, please take me away
And forget my real name!
Go, now! Give me your blood
Get on high above!
Go, please take me away
And forget my real name!
Go, now! Give me your blood
Get on high above!
Running in the moonlight,
Dancing into the rain
Riding my black horse between the flames of my hell..
The blade of justice is broken
Your destiny's in my hands
Open your eyes and remember my pride,
please your lord!
Living in a black dream,
singing into the pain,
falling into darkness between the lies of my hell..
The blade of justice is broken
Your destiny's in my hands
Open your eyes and remember my pride,

WHEN WE GROW OLD
AND LOVE GROWS COLD
AND TIME RUNS DOWN
LIKE A RIVER
THAT CALLS US HOME
THEEYES GROW DIM
THE LIGHT GROWN THIN
AND TIME WILL
END HERE FOREVER
LONG TIME GONE
THEN TIME AND THE RIVER
MUST STOP IN THEIR TRACKS
OR ROLL ON FOREVER
THERE’S NO TURNING BACK
I’VE WAITING TOO LONG
TO BE LEFT HERE LIKE THIS
LONG TIME GONE
THEN WEEP NO MORE
THE HEART IS PURE
THESE HANDS ARE SURE
LIKE A RIVER
THAT CLINGS TO SHORE
THE LOVE WE LEARN
THE LOVE WE BURN
A LOVE THAT BURNS
IN THE DARKNESS
WILL WEEP NO MORE
Oh refuge of my hardened heart
Oh fast pursuing lover come
As angels dance 'round Your throne
My life by captured fare You own
Not silhouette of trodden faith
Nor death shall not my steps be guide
I'll pirouette upon mine grave
For in Your path I'll run and hide
Oh gaze of love so melt my pride
That I may in Your house but kneel
And in my brokenness to cry
Spring worship unto Thee
When beauty breaks the spell of pain
The bludgeoned heart shall burst in vain
But not when love be pointed king
And truth shall Thee forever reign
Sweet Jesus carry me away
From cold of night, and dust of day
In ragged hour or salt worn eye
Be my desire, my well sprung lye
Spring worship unto Thee
Because the darkest hour is just before the dawn
The dark is drawing in
The grey is turning black;
Your inner core can not repel
The constant attack, attack, attack.
Your De-fence is on the floor,
There's no more points to score;
You never thought you'd give in,
But always, fight back, fight back, fight back.
Your head drops in your hands,
Just when you think that they've ruined all your plans,
You're at your lowest ebb
When odds seem stacked, seem stacked, seem stacked.
"Yes, They seem STACKED"
Stare into the distance,
Is that the last horizon up ahead?
But something glimmers in the gloom,
The hope to banish all the dread, the dread, the dread.
It's just a tiny spark,
But it's brilliant and bright;
It is the drawing phoenix
Preparing to take flight, take flight, take flight.
The glow reflected in my moistened eyes,
Just when you think, it was the end;
In truth, the time is right to begin, to mend, to mend, to mend, to mend.
The spark is now a flame,
And it's calling out my name
Within the darkness it is framed,
And sighs you have the strength
To fight the pain, fight the pain, fight the pain.
The light is fighting back,
The waves of gold ride on it's wings
Showering rain of golden light.
It soars into the sky and he cries;
Fight back again,
Fight back again
Fight back again
Fight back again
Fight It, FIGHT IT AGAIN.
This is just because the darkest hour is just before the DAWN x2
Stare into the distance,
Is that the last horizon up ahead?
But something glimmers in the gloom,
The hope to banish all the dread,
It's just a tiny spark,
But it's brilliant and bright;
It is the dawning phoenix
Preparing to take flight.
The glow reflected in my moistened eyes,
Just when you thought, it was the end;
In truth, the time is right to begin.
The spark is now a flame,
And it's calling out my name
Within the darkness it is framed,
And so you have the strength
To fight the pain.
The light is fighting back,
The waves of gold are riding on it's wings
Showering rain of golden light.
It soars into the sky and it cries;
Fight back again.
Fight back again
The race that long in darkness pined,
Have seen a glorious Light;
The people dwell in day, who dwelt
In death's surrounding night.
To hail Thy rise, Thou better Sun,
The gathering nations come,
Joyous as when the reapers bear
The harvest treasures home.
For Thou our burden hast removed,
And quelled the oppressor's sway,
Quick as the slaughtered squadrons fell
In Midian's evil day.
To us a Child of Hope is born,
To us a Son is given,
Him shall the tribes of earth obey,
Him all the hosts of heaven.
His Name shall be the Prince of Peace,
Forevermore adored,
The Wonderful, the Counselor,
The great and mighty Lord.
His power increasing still shall spread,
His reign no end shall know:
Justice shall guard His throne above,
Unanswered yet?
The prayers your lips have pleaded
In agony of heart these many years?
Does faith begin to fail, is hope departing,
And think you all in vain those falling tears?
Say not the Father hath not heard your prayer:
You shall have your desire, sometime, somewhere,
You shall have your desire, sometime, somewhere.
Unanswered yet?
Though when you first presented
This one petition at the Father's throne,
It seemed you could not wait the time of asking,
So urgent was your heart to make it known.
Though years have passed since then, do not despair;
The Lord will answer you, sometime, somewhere,
The Lord will answer you, sometime, somewhere.
Unanswered yet?
Nay, do not say ungranted;
Perhaps your part is not yet wholly done;
The work began when first your prayer was uttered,
And God will finish what He has begun.
If you will keep the incense burning there,
His glory you shall see, sometime somewhere,
His glory you shall see, sometime somewhere.
Unanswered yet?
Faith cannot be unanswered;
Her feet were firmly planted on the Rock;
Amid the wildest storm prayer stands undaunted,
Nor quail before the loudest thunder shock.
She knows Omnipotence has heard her prayer,
And cries, 'It shall be done, sometime, somewhere,
Unchanging God, hear from eternal Heaven:
We plead Thy gifts of grace, forever given,
Thy call, without repentance, calling still,
The sure election of Thy sovereign will.
Out of our faith in Thee, Who canst not lie,
Out of our heart's desire, goes up our cry,
From hope's sweet vision of the thing to be,
From love to those who still are loved by Thee.
Bring Thy belovèd back, Thine Israel,
Thine own elect who from Thy favor fell,
But not from Thine election! O forgive,
Speak but the word, and lo! the dead shall live.
Father of mercies! these the long astray,
These in soul blindness now the far away,
These are not aliens, but Thy sons of yore,
Oh, by Thy Fatherhood, restore, restore!
Breathe upon Thy Church, that it may greet the day;
Stir up her will to toil, and teach, and pray,
Till Zionward again salvation come,
And all her outcast children are at home.
Triune Jehovah, Thine the grace and power,
Thine all the work, its past, its future hour,
O Thou, Who failest not, Thy gifts fulfill,
Ye servants of God, your Master proclaim,
and publish abroad his wonderful name;
the name all-victorious of Jesus extol,
his kingdom is glorious and rules over all.
God ruleth on high, almighty to save,
and still he is nigh, his presence we have;
the great congregation his triumph shall sing,
ascribing salvation to Jesus, our King.
"Salvation to God, who sits on the throne!"
Let all cry aloud and honor the Son;
the praises of Jesus the angels proclaim,
fall down on their faces and worship the Lamb.
Then let us adore and give him his right,
all glory and power, all wisdom and might;
all honor and blessing with angels above,
Zion, founded on the mountains,
God, thy Maker, loves thee well;
He has chosen thee, most precious,
He delights in thee to dwell;
God's own city, God's own city,
God's own city, who can all thy glory tell?
Heathen lands and hostile peoples
Soon shall come the Lord to know;
Nations born again in Zion
Shall the Lord's salvation show;
God Almighty, God Almighty,
God Almighty, shall on Zion strength bestow.
When the Lord shall count the nations,
Sons and daughters He shall see,
Born to endless life in Zion,
And their joyful song shall be:
'Blessèd Zion, blessèd Zion,
Give us this day all that you showed me -
The power and the glory
till my kingdom comes.
Give us this day all that you showed me -
The power and the glory
till my kingdom comes.
Give me all the storybook told me
The faith and the glory
till my kingdom comes.
And they said that in our time all that's good will fall from grace.
Even saints would turn their face in our time.
And they told us that in our days
Different words said in different ways
Have other meanings from he who says in out time:
Give us this day all that you showed me - . . .
And they said that in our time we would reap from their legacy
We would learn from what they had seen in our time.
And they told us that in our days
We would know what was high on high
We would follow and not defy in our time.
Give us this day all that you showed me - . . .
Faithless in faith
we must behold the things we see.
1. The head that once was crowned with thorns
is crowned with glory now;
a royal diadem adorns
the mighty victor's brow.
2. The highest place that heaven affords
belongs to him by right;
the King of kings and Lord of lords,
and heaven's eternal light.
3. The joy of all who dwell above,
the joy of all below,
to whom he manifests his love,
and grants his name to know.
4. To them the cross with all its shame,
with all its grace, is given;
their name an everlasting name,
their joy the joy of heaven.
5. They suffer with their Lord below;
they reign with him above;
their profit and their joy to know
the mystery of his love.
6. The cross he bore is life and health,
though shame and death to him,
his people's hope, his people's wealth,
The Magi came from lands afar,
Led by the guidance of a star,
They journeyed on to Bethlehem,
To seek the Savior, born for them.
And there in humble cottage-home,
Unto the heavenly Child they come;
And low before Him bend the knee
In love and deep humility.
Nor do they come with empty hands,
They bring the treasure of their lands;
Their costliest gifts they offer thence
Of gold and myrrh and frankincense.
They sought the Light, in darkness drear,
And lo, the morn broke full and clear;
The very Light of Light they see,
Though hidden in obscurity.
Jesus, our guiding Star, be nigh
Throughout our life, and when we die,
To lead us safely in the way
Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
tune my heart to sing thy grace;
streams of mercy, never ceasing,
call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it,
mount of thy redeeming love.
Here I raise mine Ebeneezer;
hither by thy help I'm come;
and I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wandering from the fold of God;
he, to rescue me from danger,
interposed his precious blood.
O to grace how great a debtor
daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
bind my wandering heart to thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
prone to leave the God I love;
here's my heart, O take and seal it,
�Abba, Father!� We approach Thee
In our Savior�s precious Name;
We, Thy children, here assembled,
Now Thy promised blessing claim;
From our sins His blood hath washed us,
'Tis through Him our souls draw nigh,
And Thy Spirit, too, hath taught us,
'Abba, Father,' thus to cry.
Once as prodigals we wandered
In our folly far from Thee,
But Thy grace, o'er sin abounding,
Rescued us from misery;
Thou Thy prodigals hast pardoned,
Kissed us with a Father's love,
Spread the festive board, and called us,
E'er to dwell with Thee above.
Clothed in garments of salvation,
At Thy table is our place,
We rejoice, and Thou rejoicest,
In the riches of Thy grace;
'It is meet,' we hear Thee saying,
'We should merry and be glad,
I have found My once lost children,
Now they live who once were dead.'
'Abba, Father!' all adore Thee,
All rejoice in Heav'n above,
While in us they learn the wonders
Of Thy wisdom, grace, and love;
Soon before Thy throne assembled,
All Thy children shall proclaim,
'Glory, everlasting glory,
Sunday morning, very bright
I read Your book by colored light
That came in through the pretty window picture
I visited some houses
Where they said that You were living
And they talked a lot about You
And they spoke about Your giving
They passed a basket with some envelopes
I just had time to write a note
And all it said was I believe in You
Passing conversations
Where they mentioned Your existence
And the fact that
You had been replaced by Your assistants
The discussion was theology
And when they smiled and turned to me
All that I could say was I believe in You
I visited Your house again
On Christmas or Thanksgiving
And a balded man said You were dead
But the house would go on living
He recited poetry
And as he saw me stand to leave
He shook his head and said I'd never find You
My mother used to dress me up
And while my dad was sleeping
Chorus:
Lying in our bed at night
Protected as I'm held tight;
Time for my spirit to take flight,
See the colours in their newborn light.
Lying in our bed at night
Protected as I'm held tight;
Time for my spirit to take flight,
See the colours in their newborn light.
My body's wrapped up warm,
As I take a cosmic form;
My core spirits been reborn;
In a colour-coated storm.
Lying in our bed at night
Protected as I'm held tight;
Time for my spirit to take flight,
See the colours in their newborn light.
Lying in our bed at night
Protected as I'm held tight;
Time for my spirit to take flight,
See the colours in their newborn light.
Do I visit you at night?
When my soul drifts in astral flight,
When I see otherworldly rainbow lights;
Brilliant blue-purple ethereal bright.
Do I visit you at night?
When I see otherworldly rainbow lights.
Brilliant blue-purple ethereal bright.
Lying in our bed at night
Protected as I'm held tight;
Time for my spirit to take flight,
See the colours in their newborn light.
Lying in our bed at night
Protected as I'm held tight;
Time for my spirit to take flight,
See the colours in their newborn light.
Timeless eyes, for my new sight;
I'm guided by eternal right;
Journey in unconscious flight,
To your working day at night.
Timeless eyes, for my new sight;
I'm guided by eternal light;
Journey in unconscious flight,
To your working day at night.
Lying in our bed at night
Protected as I'm held tight;
Time for my spirit to take flight,
To See colours in their newborn light.
Lying in my bed at night
Protected as I'm held tight;
Time for my spirit to take flight,
See the colours in their newborn light.
In the hours of sleep I go,
Sometimes fast, sometimes slow;
When your spirit calls I just know,
That I want to help your soul grow.
When your spirit calls, just say I know,
Cos I want to help your spirit and your soul
ALL GROW.
Psychically you called, I knew you were alone;
Felt your anger; desperation, like it were my own.
Soul-support here for you, even if unknown;
Your spirit calls across the plains, objects being thrown.
Physically you called, I knew you were alone;
Felt your anger; desperation, like it were my own.
Soul-support here for you, even if unknown;
Your spirit called across the plains, object being thrown.
Lying in my bed at night.
Want to be there in support;
Absorb the fuckers cheap retorts,
Help channel all our musical thoughts,
Soul connection, the mind transports.
Feel empathic to past pain,
Fear you'll feel so lost again.
I visit just to break the chain,
Don't want doubt to leave a stain.
Lying in our bed at night
Protected as I'm held tight;
Time for my spirit to take flight,
See the colours in their newborn light.
Lying in our bed at night
Protected as I'm held tight;
Time for my spirit to take flight,
Galilee, bright Galilee,
Hallowed thoughts we turn to thee!
Woven through thy history,
Gleams the charming mystery
Of the life of One Who came,
Bearing grief, reproach and shame,
Savior of the world to be;
'God with us' by Galilee.
Once along that rugged shore
He, Who all our sorrows bore,
Journeyed oft with weary feet,
Through the storm or burning heat;
Healing all who came in faith,
Calling back to life from death;
King of kings from heaven was He,
Though so poor by Galilee!
Wild the night on Galilee;
Loudly roared the angry sea,
When upon the tossing wave
Jesus walked, His own to save:
Calmed the tumult by His will,
Only saying, 'Peace, be still!'
Ruler of the storm was He,
On the raging Galilee!
Still in loving tenderness
Doth the Master wait to bless;
Still His touch upon the soul
Bringeth balm and maketh whole;
Still He comforts mourning hearts,
Life, and joy, and peace imparts;
Still the Friend of all is He,
James Taylor
I got holy children to show me the light
Singing hallelujah, brother how 'bout you.
Yeah, we got a holy scriptures here that prove us to be right,
In believing out loud what we wish to be true.
I got stoned out neighbors to take me in tow
Singin' close your eyes, singin' open wide.
Watch the world fall away below, let the winter wind blow;
Singin' close your eyes, singin' open wide.
Watch the world fall away below, let the winter wind blow;
And where will we hide when it comes from inside?
Oh, hear me now, hear me now, hear me now,
hear me now, hear me now, hear me now,
hear me now, listen I got sweet, sweet music inside.
Is a child inside me was alone in the night
Now has come to me, love has set my soul free.
Is a man and a woman stand alone in the night;
Pin-striped suits, designer boots,
Catalytic cars and idolized stars.
Toxic tabloids, tell-tale tales,
Sell out on life to maximize sales.
Focus in on details, wholesale or retail,
Capitalize, maximize, people can't be franchised.
Number on the paper, statistics in the pile:
When and how did we evolve to fit inside a file?
Awaken your heart, open your eyes,
Turn off your TV, question the lies.
There's nothing to stop change, have some belief,
We're all crying out for it, the world needs relief.
Material measures, penny and pound,
It's about time things changed fucking around.
Labels and bar-codes, processed and tagged,
A human conveyor belt, foil fresh and bagged.
Money making, profit guide,
Indulgent selfish pride.
A soul-less world, with cut throat rules,
Unquestioning ignorance, brainwashed fools
Awaken your heart, open your eyes,
Turn off your TV, question the lies.
There's nothing to stop change, have some belief,
We're all crying out for it, the world needs relief.
We're rotting with greed, dissolving in crime,
A product of currency driven time.
Capitalist corruption; muted destruction,
Blinkered, boxed in, unseeing within.
We're rotting with greed, dissolving in crime,
A product of currency driven time.
Capitalist corruption; muted destruction,
Blinkered, boxed in, unseeing within.
Blinkered, boxed in, unseeing within.
Unseeing within.
Awaken your heart, open your eyes,
Turn off your TV, question the lies.
There's nothing to stop change, have some belief,
We're all crying out for it, the world needs relief.
Awaken your heart, open your eyes,
Turn off your TV, question the lies.
There's nothing to stop change, have some belief,
A debtor to mercy alone,
Of covenant mercy I sing,
Nor fear, with God's righteousness on,
My person and off'rings to bring.
The terrors of law and of God
With me can have nothing to do;
My Savior's obedience and blood
Hide all my transgressions from view.
2 The work which His goodness began,
The arm of His strength will complete;
His promise is Yea and Amen,
And never was forfeited yet.
Things future, nor things that are now,
Not all things below or above,
Can make Him His purpose forego,
Or sever my soul from His love.
3 My name from the palms of His hands
Eternity will not erase;
Imprest on His heart, it remains
In marks of indelible grace.
Yes! I to the end shall endure,
As sure as the earnest is giv'n;
More happy, but not more secure,
ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDER
ALL TO HIM I FREELY GIVE
I WILL EVER LOVE AND TRUST HIM
IN HIS PRESENCE DAILY LIVE.
ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDER,
BUMBLY AT HIS FEET I BOW
WORLDLY PLEASURES ALL FOR SAKEN
TAKE ME JESUS, TAKE M NOW
ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDER
MAKE ME SAVIOR WHOLLY THINE
LET ME FEEL THE HOLY SPIRIT
TRULY KNOW THAT THOU ARE MINE
ALL TO JESUS I SURRENDER,
LORD I GIVE MYSELF TO THEE
FILL ME WITH THY LOVE AND POWER
LET THY BLESSING FALL ON ME
I SURRENDER ALL
I SURRENDER ALL
ALL TO THEE MY BLESSED SAVIOR

Hail this glorious Easter morning,
Night has fled away,
O'er the eastern hills the dawning
Breaks in light of day.
Sun and cloud their beauty blending,
Easter memories sing,
Flowers sweet their fragrance lending,
Hail with your joy your risen King!
Refrain
Hail, all hail this Easter morning,
Hail, all hail this day of days!
Hail, all hail the sight adorning;
Hail, all hail the songs of praise!
Hail! O earth, your risen Savior,
For today He rose'
Conqueror of death forever,
Triumphed o'er His foes.
Hail again your Savior glorious,
Richest tribute bring;
Over all the world victorious,
Hail, all hail your risen King!
Refrain
Sound aloud the Easter chorus,
Send the news afar,
While in glory shining o'er us,
Beams our Morning Star.
Songs of joy, and peace, and gladness,
Let our voices sing;
Cheer each heart and banish sadness,
While we hail our risen King.
Verse 1:
O Lord my God, When I in awesome wonder,
Consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made;
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
Chorus:
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art.
Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, How great Thou art!
Verse 2:
When through the woods, and forest glades I wander,
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.
Chorus
Verse 3:
And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing;
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin.
Chorus
Verse 4:
When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation,
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart.
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"
Verse 1:
Jesus, keep me near the cross,
there a precious fountain,
free to all, a healing stream,
flows from Calvary's mountain.
Chorus:
In the cross, in the cross,
be my glory ever;
'til my raptured soul shall find,
rest beyond the river.
Verse 2:
Near the cross, a trembling soul,
love and mercy found me;
there the bright and morning star
sheds its beams around me.
Chorus
Verse 3:
Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
bring its scenes before me;
help me walk from day to day,
with its shadows over me.
Chorus
Verse 4:
Near the cross I'll watch and wait,
hoping, trusting ever,
'til I reach the golden strand,
just beyond the river.
Verse 1:
I once was lost in sin but Jesus took me in
And then a little light from heaven filled my soul
It bathed my heart in love and wrote my name above
And just a little talk with Jesus made me whole
Chorus:
Now let us have a little talk with Jesus
Let us tell Him all about our troubles
He will hear our faintest cry
He will answer by and by
Now when you feel a little prayer wheel turning
And you know a little fire is burning
You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right
Verse 2:
Sometimes my path seems dreary without a ray of cheer
And then the cloud about me hides the light of day
The mists of sin may rise and hide the stormy skies
But just a little talk with Jesus clears the way
Verse 3:
I may have doubts and fears, my eyes be filled with tears
But Jesus is a friend who watches day and and night
I go to Him in prayer, He knows my every care
And just a little talk with Jesus makes it right
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul.
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
It is well, with my soul,
It is well, with my soul,
Jehovah, God the Father, bless,
And Thy own work defend!
With mercy's outstretched arms embrace
And keep us to the end!
Preserve the creatures of Thy love,
By providential care
Conducted to the realms above,
To sing Thy goodness there.
Jehovah, God the Son, reveal
The brightness of Thy face;
And all Thy pardoned people fill
With plenitude of grace!
Shine forth with all the Deity,
Which dwells in Thee alone;
And lift us up Thy face to see
On Thy eternal throne.
Jehovah, God the Spirit, shine,
Father and Son to show!
With bliss ineffable, divine,
Our ravished hearts o'erflow.
Sure earnest of that happiness
Which human hope transcends,
Be Thou our everlasting peace,
One true love
All the soul can know
One true heart
Yearning to belong
Wild is like the wind
Blowing me around
Chasing all my fears
Keeping my trust down
Now I see you here
And my love has come alive
Turn me on so bright
Turn me on and leave your light
To shine eternally on me
Here's my hymn to you
My heart's pure story
Fuller than the moon
Deeper than the sea
Your eyes speak to me
Sharing tenderly
I'm glowing in your grace
Soaring so freely
Now I feel you're near
As your arms they open wide
Give yourself to me
Give me all the strength inside
I need to believe
Just a little bit longer
I come a little bit closer
'Cos this woman is stronger than you and I can see
We need to let it be
Here's my hymn to you
When you looked down from the heavens
And saw that earth was good
You said we should follow one way
And that way will lead us home
When you came down from the heavens
You came with just one plea
You said
Come take up your cross and follow me
I will follow you wherever you may lead
Though the path may be rocky and steep
To your ways i will keep
I will follow you wherever you may lead
Though it brings me to my knees
Palms of glory, raiment bright,
Crowns that never fade away,
Gird and deck the saints in light,
Priests, and kings, and conquerors they.
Yet the conquerors bring their palms
To the Lamb amidst the throne,
And proclaim in joyful psalms
Victory through His cross alone.
Kings for harps their crowns resign,
Crying, as they strike the chords,
'Take the kingdom, it is Thine,
King of kings, and Lord of lords.
Round the altar priests confess,
If their robes are white as snow,
'Twas the Savior's righteousness
And His blood that made them so.
They were mortal too like us;
O, when we like them shall die,
May our souls translated thus
Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side
You stand up there with your head in the clouds
Don't try to fly you know you might not come down
Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down
Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
The people said it was a virgin birth
Jesus came down from Heaven to earth
The people said it was a virgin birth
He told great stories of the Lord
And said he was the saviour of us all
He told great stories of the Lord
And said he was the saviour of us all
For this they/we killed him, nailed him up high
He rose again as if to ask us why
Then he ascended into the sky
As if to say in God alone you soar
As if to say in God alone we fly.
Valley's deep and the mountain's so high
If you want to see God you've got to move on the other side
You stand up there with your head in the clouds
Don't try to fly you know you might not come down
Don't try to fly, dear God, you might not come down
Enthroned and exalted
I rejoice that you've befriende me
To the ends of the earth you've bestowed your blessings
I bow my head to you in reverence
Forever I will delight in your protection
You surround me in your favor with a shield
How majestic is your name
Merciful and righteous oh Most High
Lift me from the gates of hell
I'm undeserving yet you still bless me
To inherit eternity with you
Why do we waste our lives
Why do we stay asleep
So many confused words
So many total disasters there are
We all try to change the world
But change has to come from ourselves
So much ignored advice
So many drowned and wasting away
Everybody wants to be free
But before this can be
You've got to learn, learn how to see
Just from what it is that you want to be free
Why do we waste our lives
Wy do we stay asleep
So many confused words
Hymn (This Is My Dream)
This is my dream
this is my dream
Standing by a purpose true,
Heeding God's command,
Honor them, the faithful few!
All hail to Daniel's band!
Refrain
Dare to be a Daniel,
Dare to stand alone!
Dare to have a purpose firm!
Dare to make it known.
Many mighty men are lost
Daring not to stand,
Who for God had been a host
By joining Daniel's band.
Refrain
Many giants, great and tall,
Stalking through the land,
Headlong to the earth would fall,
If met by Daniel's band.
Refrain
Hold the Gospel banner high!
On to victory grand!
Satan and his hosts defy,
And shout for Daniel's band.
Here I am sat in a Bar and a Man walks in.
A man walks into a bar in Kemp Town and says
"I fuckin' hate queers
I tell you what
If one came near
I'd smash a glass in his fuckin' face.
I'd mess him up good
Bits of ponce all over the place"
(LAUGHING)
I'm ENGLISH and I'm Hard.
The barman looks confused but addresses the man all the same
"You're a man of extreme views
So I'm a little perplexed
Why you have chose to booze
In a rub-a-dub-dub
In the hub of a town where
The men, they hold hands in two's"
The man looked irritated and leant forward.
"I'm an Englishman
And I go where I damn well please
No shirt lifter will dictate
Where I can buy a beer
I bet you're one of them, aint you?
If I catch you looking at my arse
Then I'll fuck you up too!"
(Laughing)
The barman handed him his beer
"I'm not gay
& if you kicked off in here
Then I wouldn't stand in your way.
You're obviously a bloke
Who wouldn't bat a eyelid
If you were to choke
Someone who stood in your path."
Would you?
The man took a large gulp of his drink.
"Too right, I'm a hard fucker me
Nobody messes with a geezer who confesses
To regularly filling up " AnE ".
It's not right all these fucking perverts, towel heads & immigrants
Polluting my fair Eng-ger-land.
The Germans had it spot on.
With the extermination camps and the gassing.
Our race needs cleansing.
The asylum seekers send em fucking packing"
"Cos they are all a bunch of paki cunts
I fucking hate the runts
I want to step on their face 'n' kick their bitches in their cunts
Cos I'm fuckin' 'ard I'm from England. You'd better look at me BARMAN.
Cos I'm a fucking CUNT. You can see it in my Smile.
Oh, by the way. I'm a football supporter too.
I love United for a fight.
YEAH.! Kicking Pakis' keeps me up all fucking night.
I fucking loves it. You can see the tat on my arm,
Hitler had it on his uniform.
(Laughs)
"Don't be scared of me, your the BARMAN.!
You feed me booze."
The barman was careful not to look the man square in the eye when he said
"You're not going to understand
A single word I say
As far as you're concerned
Je parle au francais
Years of influence from the right wing views
Inherited ignorance & the tabloid news
Has turned you into the man
I see before me
You're a victim because you blame others
For misfortunes in life
Anybody different will do
All potential targets for your butterfly knife.
The crime of nonconformity
Shall be punished via you
You mete out your justice
Enforced by fists & boots
When you reach the end
You will look back at what you have achieved
A trail of blood & fear
You're tortured soul will be unable rest
You'll be confined to your spirit prison
An eternity of hell
Your guilt, you're soul, company.
You will have failed the test"
The man gulps the last of his pint and says
"What the fuck you are going on about?"
A man walks into a bar in Kemp town
Another man walks into the same bar
One man leaves with blood on his shirt
The other man is wheeled out and he is badly hurt
Another pub, another night
Framed by sirens & blue flashing light.
They fucking deserve it, the fucking Queers,
The Fucking Pakis the FUCKING NIGGERS,
They all Fucking need it.
Cos I'm an Englishman, and I have my fun.
I watch the football, and I drink lots of beer
Then I go out into the street and I kick a fucking queer.
They bleed real good, when I step on their face.
My BOOT cracks in their face.
It's a fucking disgrace...
Their teeth are in the sole of my boot.
How DARE those fucking queers destroy my boot.
I'm a fucking NAZI man, an' I love it.
I'm always fucking right.
The aryan race is for me.
I'm a football supporter 'n' I love united.
I like to beat the fucking people up.
Cos I thinks I'm really 'ard.
My mates all love it, on a Saturday Night.
(Laughs)

Dispatch...
This is dispatch, we have a person. he is on his death bed.
Yeah, we hope he is going to make it. He's received a stab wound
To his chest, also his face is a bit of a mess.
I think we are going to need the Helicopter on this one.
Mate... Are you alright.?

Day divine, to me so dear!
Come, O come to old and young,
Gath'ring all for prayer and song.
Now the week of toil is o'er,
And in peace we sit once more
At our Father's ample board,
Listening to His gracious Word.
Lord, our God, we seek Thy face,
Bless us with Thy saving grace;
May Thy heralds everywhere
Clear Thy Gospel truth declare.
Let Thy mighty Word hold sway
Over men on earth today;
Our poor souls, good Shepherd, feed,
Into pastures green us lead.
May, O Lord, the day be near,
When we pass from trials here
Into Thine eternal rest,
Ah, Ha
Sheep skates, yeah meet my mates,
Alligator waiter, masturbater.
Bear wearing flares dares,
Giraffe with a scarf, in a bubble bath.
Kick Arse Mics on the trikes,
Pussy on the decks in his
Muthafuckin specs.
Motor Monkey, feeling funky,
Tiger at the BAR, Drinking Cider.
Horse on stilts, wearing a kilt,
Frog pajamas and the BEAVER Charmer.
Manic Mole, Revolving on a Pole,
Ants in his pants, getting spanked.
Lamar with dreads, in his threads,
Religious Rabbit, kicking the HABIT

Snake eating cakes, Secret hand shakes.
Fire Breathing Fish, In it's wish,
Penguin in the corner, having a stormer.
Paranoid Rat, throws up in a HAT,

Who knows which way is UP, or down,
When the Herb fulled Circus comes to Town
Spy the light of the turquoise noise,
Open up your HEART, and FLY.
Quantum PARALLELS, Alternate Lives,
Tombola spinning world restricted, by our own MINDS.
Adjust your VISION, change the LENS,
Who knows how the UNIVERSE can BEND.

Might hurt your MIND though.!
[instrumental]
Abide in me, O Lord, and I in Thee,
From this good hour, oh, leave me nevermore;
Then shall the discord cease, the wound be healed,
The lifelong bleeding of the soul be o'er.
Abide in me; o'ershadow by Thy love
Each half formed purpose and dark thought of sin;
Quench ere it rise each selfish, low desire,
And keep my soul as Thine, calm and divine.
As some rare perfume in a vase of clay,
Pervades it with a fragrance not its own,
So, when Thou dwellest in a mortal soul,
All Heaven's own sweetness seems around it thrown.
Abide in me; there have been moments blest
When I have heard Thy voice and felt Thy power;
Then evil lost its grasp; and passion, hushed,
Owned the divine enchantment of the hour.
These were but seasons beautiful and rare;
Abide in me, and they shall ever be;
Fulfill at once Thy precept and my prayer,
Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory 'til thy kingdom come
Give us this day all that you showed me,
The power and the glory 'til thy kingdom come
Give me all the story book told me,
The faith and the glory 'til thy kingdom comes
And they said that in our time,
All that's good will fall from grace
Even saints would turn their face,
In our time
And they told us that in our days,
Different words said in different ways,
Have other meaning from he who says,
In our time.
Give us this day all that you showed me,
The power and the glory 'til thy kingdom come
Give me all the story book told me,
The faith and the glory 'til thy kingdom comes
And they said that in our time,
We would reap from their legacy,
We would learn from what they had seen,
In our time.
And they told us that in our days,
We would know what was high on high,
We would follow and not defy,
In our time.
Give us this day all that you showed me,
The power and the glory 'til thy kingdom come
Give me all the story book told me,
The faith and the glory 'til thy kingdom comes
Faithless in faith
We must behold the things we see
Give us this day all that you showed me,
The power and the glory 'til thy kingdom come
Give me all the story book told me,
One of us is waiting, one side of us waiting
Some of us are striving, somewhere on a mountain
One part of us keeps giving away, giving away, giving away...
Chorus
And disorder must come
And disorder must reign
Every minute will count
When disorder is king
One of us is waiting, one more number's waiting
Where's your revolution plan?
Where's your need to make a stand
To finalize, to synchronize?
One stand, one stand together
One stand, one stand to hang the standard high
The standard high
Where's your revolution plan?
Where's your need to understand
To find more time, to find more time?
Chorus
One of us is waiting, one side of us is waiting
Where's your revolution plan?
Where's the leading upperhand
To guide your life, to guide your life
One stand, one stand together
One stand, one stand to hang the standard high
The standard high
The city is spread
Reach to the heavens
This cloud cover breathing soft and rain
Yes I'm good looking
Yes I have money
Don't it count for nothing over there.
The snow falls dirty
We watch our blue t.v.
Educated in monotony
The rains won't let me see
The acid falling from the sky
The bloody tears in your eyes.
This is my hymn
It's the only one I know
This is my hymn
I lift it up to you.
My heart can't quite reach to the heavens
Lyin' face down in unbelief
Love or money can't fill it up
This empty space that keeps running deep
Is it true you love me
You're the only one I need
One sweet flower of ease in the bitterest Hell
Is your voice to me
Whisper your love gentle
Could you really love me
Never disappointed, disenchanted
In me you believe
I will lie down waitin',
I will cry waitin',
I will work waitin',
Waitin' for your love.
This is my hymn
It's the only one I know
This is my hymn
Husch little lady, dont you worry
This is the end of a beautiful story
Sleep through the night int tomorrow morning
Your great adventures are waiting shortly
Husch little lady, dont you worry
This is the end of a beautiful story
Sleep through the night int tomorrow morning
Hymn
Shining through the plate glass, hyacinths and Spanish
stars
All day caught on camera
The climbing sun, the fading dawn, like a hymn to our
love
Somewhere there's a starling, gliding through the morning
Moving so slowly
The climbing sun, the fading dawn, like a hymn to London
Commencing, commencing, commencing with the day
Commencing with the day, commencing with the day
(I have no patience left for the Catholic Church. For those who
Do, it is my hope that you will not compromise yourselves but
Will aggressively work towards bringing them into the 20th
Century.)
If there's something to be learned
From examining the past
It's that institutions change
Or else they do not last
Now you are such a dinosaur
In the ancient ways you think
And if you do not soon adapt
You too will be extinct
I believe that Christ's intention
Many centuries ago
Was to serve and to enlighten
And to guide our spiritual growth
But the latest word from Rome
Is not a loving one at all
If Jesus walked on earth today
I think he'd be appalled
Now the priesthood's quickly shrinking
But you won't let women in
And instead of teaching safer sex
You condemn it as a sin
You deny all women the right
To decide their bodies' fate
Suggesting that their purpose here
Is just to procreate
You say that gays and lesbians
Are fallen from God's grace
And tacitly you sanction
All the violence that we face
You distort the Bible's words
To support your platitudes
But bigotry is not
A very Christian attitude
Now as for reformation
I have very little hope
But if you think it can be done
Go and tell it to the Pope
'Cause the clergy and parishioners
Who are still inside the closet
Support this persecution
Chorus:
Glory to His name glory to His name
There to my heart was the blood applied
Glory to His name
Verse 1:
Down at the cross where my Savior died
Down here for cleansing from sin I cried
There to my heart was the blood applied
Glory to His name
Chorus
Verse 2:
I am so wondrously saved from sin
Jesus so sweetly abides within
There at the cross where He took me in
Glory to His name
Chorus
Verse 3:
O precious fountain that saves from sin
I am so glad I have entered in
There Jesus saves me and keeps me clean
Glory to His name
Chorus
Verse 4:
Come to this fountain so rich and sweet
Cast Thy poor soul at the Savior's feet
Plunge in today and be made complete
Glory to His name
Daily, daily, sing the praises
Of the city God hath made;
In the beauteous fields of Eden
Its foundation stones are laid.
Refrain
O that I had wings of angels,
Here to spread and heavenward fly!
I would seek the gates of Zion,
Far beyond the starry sky.
All the walls of that dear city
Are of bright and burnished gold;
It is matchless in its beauty,
And its treasures are untold.
Refrain
In the midst of that dear city
Christ is reigning on His seat,
And the angels swing their censers
In a ring about His feet.
Refrain
From the throne a river issues,
Clear as crystal, passing bright,
And it traverses the city
Like a sudden beam of light.
Refrain
There the forests ever blossom,
Like our orchards here in May;
There the gardens never wither,
But eternally are gay.
Refrain
There the meadows green and dewy
Shine with lilies wondrous fair;
Thousand, thousand, are the colors
Of the waving flowers there.
Refrain
There the wind is sweetly fragrant,
And is laden with the song
Of the seraphs, and the elders,
And the great redeemèd throng.
Refrain
O I would my ears were open
Here to catch that happy strain!
O I would my eyes some vision
Of that Eden would attain!
Skin and bone is what's in vogue;
Rack of ribs, to go in your bling-bling crib.
Coat hanger glamour, magazine clamour;
V.I.P. misery, paparazzi; R.I.P.
Lipstick ads, make up fads,
A thousand reasons to make us feel bad.
Why can't we celebrate, be glad?
We are diversity, we all must be mad!
Chorus
There's no physical form, until we're reborn
Energy absorbed by the earth, return and transform.
Firefly's of light, cosmic balls of power,
There's no such thing as a soul that fits the norm!
Quest for eternal youth,
Masses focused on physical proof;
Few see guided truth.
Headed on a one-way track,
For a goal that serves no use.
When we achieve these goals,
'Eternal' life and perfect moulds,
Where will the depth and beauty be?
We'll all be soul-less, lifeless, no one will be free!
There's no physical form, until we're reborn
Energy absorbed by the earth, return and transform.
Firefly's of light, cosmic balls of power,
There's no such thing as a soul that fits the norm!
High street chic, catalogue man,
Why can't I be happy just the way I am?
So much weight on how we look,
Time we closed the chapter on that book,
Why can't we follow our dreams;
Learn about ourselves,
Make universal happiness reality?
No fake stretched smiles, or plastic spells,
Just enriched souls; eternally.
There's no physical form, until we're reborn
Energy absorbed by the earth, return and transform.
Firefly's of light, cosmic balls of power,
There's no such thing as a soul that fits the norm!
I'm not a rubber ball, don't want no plastic stretch,
Don't want my eyelids tweaked,
Or my butt cheeks clenched!
Just want to travel on my path.
Until my journeys end,
Learn the knowledge that I can,
And let my soul transcend.
I'm not a rubber ball, don't want no plastic stretch,
Don't want my eyelids tweaked,
Or my butt cheeks clenched!
Just want to travel on my path.
Until my journeys end,
Learn the knowledge that I can,
And let my soul transcend.
There's no physical form, until we're reborn
Energy absorbed by the earth, return and transform.
Firefly's of light, cosmic balls of power,
There's no such thing as a soul that fits the norm!
There's no physical form, until we're reborn
Energy absorbed by the earth, return and transform.
Firefly's of light, cosmic balls of power,
There's no such thing as a soul that fits the norm!
There's no physical form, until we're reborn
Energy absorbed by the earth, return and transform.
Firefly's of light, cosmic balls of power,
There's no such thing as a soul that fits the norm!
I'm not a rubber ball, don't want no plastic stretch,
Don't want my eyelids tweaked,
Or my butt cheeks clenched!
Just want to travel on my path.
Until my journeys end,
Learn the knowledge that I can,
And let my soul transcend.
In the distant past, very long ago,
Leaders took care of the members of the tribe.
Many centuries passed then in 1773.
You could only make the team,
If you had the green.
And from that the Shareholder clan was born.
Now the tribal chief,
Had dissolved into a different beast.
He is known as the MD, or CEO.
Now these guys are farmers not leaders.
They grow the wealth with noxious pesticide.
They strive to inflate the share & stock price.
They turn a blind eye to human sacrifice.
The big cheese has to please,
All of his shareholder masters.
But he can't achieve,
Financial prosperity,
Without his faithful employees.
So let's look back through history,
And see what these pillars of the community,
Think about their "greatest assets".
"Coal Dust?
Don't make a fuss,
Collapsed mines,
Broken lives,
Pockets of gas,
People dying on mass,
They know the risks can be insurmountable,
I will not be held personally accountable"

"Padlocks on the fire doors?
I just have the cause,
To believe employees are stealing my stock.
If they burn,
What the hey!
I'll be OK.
I'll buy myself a new workforce!"
"Padlocks on fire doors?
I have just cause!
To believe employees are stealing my stock.
If they burn,
What the hey!
I'll be OK... !
I'll buy myself a new workforce!"
"Employees are a great resource,
Much like computers & photocopier ink.
If you want to increase your gross margin,
Then you need to cut back, just a little bit.
A person's pay will save you more,
Than having one less photocopier"
"There's only one disdain,
Which causes me more pain.
Than those ungrateful, always right customers,
And that's my employees,
And having sick & holiday leave,
Burdening their poor employer".
"A woman? Doing my job?
Don't be a tedious bore.
I'm on the ball 24/7.
Not three weeks out of every four!"
"In all my years,
If I have learned one thing,
And that's to ensure,
That you place your office,
On the very top floor.
That way all the employees will look up to you,
Even if you treat them like poo!"
"For my employees I have to give thanks,
For they are the perfect human shields,
We will grease the tracks,
Of our corporate tanks,
With the blood of the employees."
We have the power,
To make the shareholders cower,
With the power, of the wallet.
We can kick them right in the profits.
And not support the corporate machine!
We have the power,
To make the shareholders cower,
With the power of the wallet.
We can kick them in the profits,
And not support the corporate machine.!
Why would you want to?
Support the Corporate MACHINE.?
When you consider, it's a rich FUCKERS dream... !
CUNTS.
In the distant past, very long ago,
Leaders took care of the members of the tribe.
Many centuries passed then in 1773,
You could only make the team,
If you had the green.
And Guess what.?
From that the Shareholder clan was born...
In the vineyard of the Lord,
There is work for all to do;
Will you go and work today,
With a purpose strong and true?
Refrain
Heed the call, brother dear,
For workers today;
Let your eyes see the need
Of workers today.
Brother, sister, hear the call!
All along, your aid afford,
Let us strive to save the lost
Strive to save by work and word.
Refrain
Mark the spirit�s direful fate,
Wheresoever sin is found;
Come, and lend a helping hand,
Let the shackles be unbound.
Refrain
Oh, for workers strong and brave,
Who will lift the banner high;
So the lost can see the way,
To the mansions in the sky.
Single white male
This is an urban-legend type tale
Micro-meal for one
Time for some Swedish tit-arse fun!
I'm a bloke with a cock
Fuck me! I know how it rocks!
Administer relief to my raging hard on
Time to slap around my schlong.
It's not a strange thing to confess
But I fuckin' love breasts,
Big and bouncy small and sweet
Love the feel of them wrapped around my meat.
Sit on the sofa as my heart starts to race
Imagine leather clad tits rubbed in my face.
Chorus
It's amazing that ladies get anything done
What stops you staying in all day?
Playing with your boobs till you come? x2
This thought filled my head
As I lay awake in bed
Closed my eyes, fantasised and drifted of instead.
My dreams were disturbed
I tossed and turned as I slept
I dreamt I traded in my knob,
And was given tits instead!
7am: alarm clock goes off again
Time to rise and shine
But then it was then I noticed them!
Two mounded peaks in the covers,
Two cherry topped domes,
I'd grown a pair of boobs in the night
I was their new home.
Chorus
It's amazing that ladies get anything done
What stops you staying in all day?
Playing with your boobs till you come? x2
An unexpected delight,
Once I got over the fright
Time to test drive these babies
The time was just right
Jumped into the bath
Lathered my fun-bags with foam;
It didn't take long till I started to moan!
It was about this point that I started to fear
Sweat dripped down my cheek
I slid my hand past my ear.
Looked in the mirror; I'd got the same face,
There just seemed to be one thing wrong
Something seemed out of place.
I washed the soap off my bod
Looked myself up and down
The Whole planet heard my scream
My cock had been exchanged for my mounds.
Chorus
It's amazing that ladies get anything done
What stops you staying in all day?
Playing with your boobs till you come? x2
Time was just right
Jumped into the bath
Lathered my fun-bags with foam;
It didn't take long till I started to moan!
Uuuhhhhh...
It's amazing that ladies get anything done
What stops you staying in all day?
Playing with your boobs till you come? x2
It's amazing,
It's amazing,
It's amazing,
It's amazing, that ladies get anything done.
It's amazing, that ladies get anything done.
What stops you staying in all day?
The suns going down,
As I drive out of town.
Unlock the front door;
Time to turn into a bitch-whore.
Leather across my tits,
P.V.C. coated hips;
Restraints and chains are my toys,
I carry a variety of whips.
As the day turns to night
The transformation begins.
Lace of my bodice of leather,
Fasten each metallic pin.
Lose my daytime disguise
Each time I'm reborn;
Throw off a pin-stripe
And replace it with my horn.
Hair tied back from my face
Neck clad in a black leather embrace.
Cleavage bolstered, high and tight
I'm an imposing sight.
Walk with confidence as I stride;
Enter the darkened fantasy realm
Instructed by me as I take the helm.
I don't play games,
I just inflict pain;
Leather bound, tongue pierced
Circus mistress, my job is to tame.
Get down on all fours,
And beg me for more,
You know you need this lashing
Whip you until your arse is raw!
Bound to the floor
Leather tied, you're secure;
Prowling feline predator-ess
Place paw over paw.
Insect in my web
Spider with her prey;
Slap your cock into submission
Way to my fix, when we play!
Walk into my world
Where I make the rules;
Chains on your balls
Make you drop on all fours.
Lick the P.V.C. to my thighs
Plead for my whip released cries;
Slaves must prove to their mistress' delight
Before they're awarded a prize.
I don't play games,
I just inflict pain;
Leather bound, tongue pierced
Circus mistress, my job is to tame.
Bound to the floor
Leather tied, you're secure;
Walk into my world
Where I make the rules;
I'm an imposing sight.
Walk with confidence as I stride;
Enter the darkened fantasy realm
Instructed by me as I take the helm.
Lick the P.V.C. to my thighs
Plead for my whip released cries;
Slaves must prove to their mistress' delight
Before they're awarded a prize.
Don't you fucking look at me
Don't you fucking look at me
Don't you fucking look at me
Don't you know I'm looking at you.
Don't you fucking look at me
Don't you fucking look at me
Don't you fucking look at me
Each cooing dove and sighing bough,
That makes the eve so blessed to me,
Has something far diviner now,
It bears me back to Galilee.
Refrain
O Galilee, sweet Galilee,
Where Jesus loved so much to be,
O Galilee, blue Galilee,
Come sing thy song again to me.
Each flowery glen and mossy dell,
Where happy birds in song agree,
Through sunny morn the praises tell
Of sights and sounds in Galilee.
Refrain
And when I read the thrilling lore
Of Him Who walked upon the sea,
I long, oh, how I long once more
To follow Him in Galilee.
All the storms and oceans
All the sheltering sky
All this earth and she and I
Wait, until it happens
Wait, the moment will come
Wait, but all those are already one
And she asks me, how many sunrises
Will we watch from start to finish
How many will we witness?
And my answers are only ever surmises
Maybe a handful of times
Before the next life, before the next life
Here, we stop beneath the leaves
Here, a moment to stay
Here, a gift of pale green color, here above her
And she asks me, how many sunrises
Will we watch from start to finish
How many will we witness?
And my answers are only ever surmises
Maybe a handful of times
Before the next life
A kiss, a prayer, a laugh, a song
She won't try to tell me, what's right from wrong
A song, a laugh, a prayer, a kiss
She won't try to tell me, I need more than this
All my answers, all my surmises
Will never do it justice
She'll just have to trust it
Wait here, 'til the sun rises
Watch from start to finish
No one as our witness
Give us this day all that you showed me
The faith and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give me all the stories you told me
The faith and the glory till my kingdom comes
And they say that in our time
All the truth that will fall from grace
Even saints would turn their face
In our time
And they told us that in our days
A different words said in different ways
Have other meanings from he who says
In our time
Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give me all the stories you told me
The faith and the glory till my kingdom comes
And they say that in our time
We would reap from their legacy
And we would learn from what they had seen
In our time
And they told us that in our days
We would know what was high on high
We would follow and not defy
In our time
Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Faithless in faith
We must behold the things we see
Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give me all the stories you told me
The faith and the glory till my kingdom comes
Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give me all the stories you told me
The faith and the glory till my kingdom comes
Give us this day all that you showed me
The power and the glory, till my kingdom comes
Give me all the stories you told me
The faith and the glory till my kingdom comes
Till my kingdom comes
Spirit of addiction
Spirit of confusion
Spirit of perversion lend me your ear
Spirit of witchcraft
Spirit of hatred
Spirit of delusion I bind you now
All in the name of Jesus
I bind you up
All in the name of Jesus
I cast you out
All in the name of Jesus
I cast you down to the pits of hell
All in the name of Jesus
I bind you up
All in the name of Jesus
I cast you out
All in the name of Jesus
I cast you down to the pits of hell
Let em' have an open ear
Let em' have an open heart
Let em' see with new found sight
Let em' feel your love tonight
Spirit of religion
Spirit of deception
Spirit of division lend me your ear
Spirit of mockery
Spirit of jealousy
Fly down back by to my arms.
And sing your songs about the stars.
And when you're done, just be a bird.
There's nothing else, just be a bird.
And rest your song against the night.
And close your eyes. Put out the light.
Your stars blew out without a word.
Leave all alone to be a bird.
Fall with your God. Let this hymn come help your fall.
And let all those who judge you, let all who condemn, be still.
Brush your dust off from your heart.
And never let it fall apart.
I read the past across your wing.
Tatooed names of nameless kings.
Fall with your God. Let this hymn come help your fall.
And let all those who judge you, let all who condemn, be still.
Is the last waiting room.
And this is the last waiting room.
This is the last waiting room.
This is the last waiting room.
And this is the last waiting room.
And this is the last waiting room for us.
So, fall with your God. Let this hymn come help your fall.
Soldiers for Jesus, rise and away,
Hark! 'Tis the war cry sounding today;
Lo! our Commander calls from the skies;
Forward to conquest, lose not the prize!
Refrain
Now like an army marching along,
Fearless and faithful, valiant and strong,
Up with our banners, brightly they shine;
March on together, keep in the line.
Soldiers for Jesus, happy are we;
He our Protector, near us will be,
Trust in His mercy, changeless, divine;
March on with firmness, keep in the line.
Refrain
Soldiers for Jesus, gladly we go,
Smiling at danger, braving the foe;
Bright are our landmarks, brightly they shine;
March on rejoicing, keep in the line.
Refrain
Soldiers for Jesus, victory is nigh,
Work till we gain it, rest by and by;
O, let our courage never decline;
March on with boldness, keep in the line.
(Verse 1)
God sent his son
They called him Jesus
He came to love
Heal and forgive
He lived and died
To buy my pardon
An empty grave
Is there to prove
My Savior lives
(Chorus)
Because he lives
I can face tomorrow
Because he lives
All fear is gone
Because I know
He holds the future
And life and is worth the living
Just because he lives
(Verse 2)
How sweet to hold
A newborn baby
And feel the pride
And joy he gives
But greater still
The calm assurance
This child can face
Uncertain days
Because he lives
(Chorus)
(Verse 3)
And then one day
I'll cross the river
I'll fight life's fi-
Nal war with pain
And then as death
Gives way to victory
I'll see the lights
Of glory and
I'll know he lives
Sabbath day of rest and cheer!
Day divine, to me so dear!
Come, O come to old and young,
Gath'ring all for prayer and song.
Now the week of toil is o'er,
And in peace we sit once more
At our Father's ample board,
Listening to His gracious Word.
Lord, our God, we seek Thy face,
Bless us with Thy saving grace;
May Thy heralds everywhere
Clear Thy Gospel truth declare.
Let Thy mighty Word hold sway
Over men on earth today;
Our poor souls, good Shepherd, feed,
Into pastures green us lead.
May, O Lord, the day be near,
When we pass from trials here
Into Thine eternal rest,
Jesus, my Lord, to Thee I cry;
Unless Thou help me I must die;
Oh, bring Thy free salvation nigh,
And take me as I am.
Refrain
And take me as I am,
And take me as I am,
My only plea'Christ died for me!
Oh, take me as I am.
Helpless I am, and full of guilt;
But yet for me Thy blood was spilt,
And Thou canst make me what Thou wilt,
And take me as I am.
Refrain
No preparation can I make,
My best resolves I only break,
Yet save me for Thine own Name's sake,
And take me as I am.
Refrain
Behold me, Savior, at Thy feet,
Deal with me as Thou seest meet;
Thy work begin, Thy work complete,
And take me as I am.
Verse 1
Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
That calls me from a world of care,
and bids me at my Father's throne.
Make all my wants and wishes known;
in seasons of distress and grief,
my soul has often found relief,
and oft escaped the tempter's snare,
by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!
Verse 2
Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
The joys I feel, the bliss I share,
of those whose anxious spirits burn
with strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
where God my Savior shows His face,
and gladly take my station there,
and wait for Thee, sweet hour of prayer!
Verse 3
Sweet hour of prayer! Sweet hour of prayer!
Thy wings shall my petition bear
to Him whose truth and faithfulness
engage the waiting soul to bless;
and since He bids me seek His face,
believe His Word and trust His grace,
I?ll cast on Him my every care,
There was One Who was willing to die in my stead,
That a soul so unworthy might live;
And the path to the cross He was willing to tread,
All the sins of my life to forgive.
Refrain
They are nailed to the cross,
They are nailed to the cross,
O how much He was willing to bear!
With what anguish and loss Jesus went to the cross!
But He carried my sins with Him there.
He is tender and loving and patient with me,
While He cleanses my heart of the dross;
But,there's no condemnation,I know I am free,
For my sins are all nailed to the cross.
Refrain
I will cling to my Savior and never depart,
I will joyfully journey each day,
With a song on my lips and a song in my heart,
That my sins have been taken away.
My faith looks up to thee,
thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
take all my guilt away,
O let me from this day
be wholly thine!
May thy rich grace impart
strength to my fainting heart,
my zeal inspire!
As thou hast died for me,
O may my love to thee
pure, warm, and changeless be,
a living fire!
While life's dark maze I tread,
and griefs around me spread,
be thou my guide;
bid darkness turn to day,
wipe sorrow's tears away,
nor let me ever stray
from thee aside.
When ends life's transient dream,
when death's cold, sullen stream
shall o'er me roll;
blest Savior, then in love,
fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safe above,
I can still taste you in the corner of my mouth
If you hear me I claim you to be mine
I watched my fardel turn and set below the ground
And though I tried, I couldn't press this hand
And she'll don't care
But don't come with the worried frown
'cause I need only your hand in your hair
Spending sunny days in darkened rooms
Placing kisses all over open wounds
All I want is to linger in your bed
You made a mark, remember what you have
I send you away
So don't come with the worried frown
'cause I need only your hand in your hair
So don't come with the worried frown
[Instrumental]
If to distant lands I scatter
If I sail to farthest seas
Would you find and firm and gather 'til I only dwell in Thee?
If I flee from greenest pastures
Would you leave to look for me?
Forfeit glory to come after
'Til I only dwell in Thee
If my heart has one ambition
If my soul one goal to seek
This my solitary vision 'til I only dwell in Thee
That I only dwell in Thee
Refrain:
Four walls that look the same,
They close in day by day;
Don't know which way to turn,
So it's easier just to stay.
Four walls that look the same,
They close in day by day;
Don't know which way to turn,
So it's easier just to stay.
I'm standing by a road
Though I'm sitting in a chair,
The traffics gone by,
But I pretend that it's not there.
I'm shutting out my thoughts,
Blindfolding my eyes;
I want to live my life,
I want to keep some pride.
I don't know what I want,
I haven't had the time,
To realize my skills;
And understand my mind.
I'm frightened of the world,
And what it means to see;
So I'll ignore the path,
That's right in front of me.
Refrain:
Four walls that look the same,
They close in day by day;
Don't know which way to turn,
So it's easier just to stay.
Four walls that look the same,
They close in day by day;
Don't know which way to turn,
So it's easier just to stay.
I view your tiny form,
So vulnerable and small;
And start to wonder if,
We're so different after all?
I don't control my life,
It's in another's hands;
I guess that he knows best,
But I wish I knew the plans.
Reminisce about the past,
I wish those days could last.
I hope and wait and watch,
As time goes quickly by.
Refrain:
Four walls that look the same,
They close in day by day;
Don't know which way to turn,
So it's easier just to stay.
Crossroad up ahead,
Which I look upon in dread.
Alternate path to chose,
A risky place to tread.
You look at me with love,
Your soul is in my care.
A new route in this world;
I don't know if I dare?
Look back and don't know when,
I lost sight of the track.
I taste the lure of change,
Don't have the strength to pack.
The route that calls to me,
Provides no security.
I sacrifice myself,
Will this mean you'll be free?
Refrain:
Four walls that look the same,
They close in day by day;
Don't know which way to turn,
It's easier just to stay.
Four walls that look the same,
They close in day by day;
Don't know which way to turn,
So it's just easier to stay.
I'll make a cup of tea,
I'm thinking far too hard.
Back to reality,
I must be feeling tired.
Give my mum a ring,
I miss her nagging voice,
I'll make do with this
I don't really have the choice...
Refrain:
Four walls that look the same,
They close in day by day;
Don't know which way to turn,
So it's just easier to stay.
Cup of tea, far too hard.
Reality?
Feeling tired.
Mum a Ring?
Nagging voice...
Do, with this?
1. Pass me not, O gentle Savior,
hear my humble cry;
while on others thou art calling,
do not pass me by.
Refrain:
Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry;
while on others thou art calling,
do not pass me by.
2. Let me at thy throne of mercy
find a sweet relief,
kneeling there in deep contrition;
help my unbelief.
(Refrain)
3. Trusting only in thy merit,
would I seek thy face;
heal my wounded, broken spirit,
save me by thy grace.
(Refrain)
4. Thou the spring of all my comfort,
more than life to me,
whom have I on earth beside thee?
Whom in heaven but thee?
In this land of the walking wounded
In this land of countless sorrows
I will cling to His hand
And fear not for tomorrow
I my heart I have made this promise
With this song I declare my choice
i will walk where the Shepherd leads
And heed no other voice
In the chill of my darkest hour
I am saved from my deep despair
For the Father who loves His children
Hears my trusting prayer
In my soul there is one light shining
From the flame of my true belief
And its embers cannot be quenched
Or robbed by any thief
In the end we are not forgotten
And our journey is not in vain
For the master who brought us here
