Stepping Along
02:59
|
|||
Jesus came to me and said I choose you
I told him that I hadn’t got nothing to lose
So we walk and talk and he’s teaching me his ways
And I must admit I’ve seen you following him too
And it might be none of my business but I must intrude
And ask if we could walk together always
We’d be stepping along the straight and narrow
Carrying each other’s joy and sorrows
Walking hand in hand, we’ll be heavenbound
Til our love arrives and the clouds come down
Well the devil wants to break what’s good in half
And the rest of us are left to make the best of the aftermath
Three-fold cord don’t break easy
He can’t break us and Jesus
While we’re stepping along the straight and narrow
Carrying each other’s joy and sorrows
Walking hand in hand, we’ll be heavenbound
Til our love arrives and the clouds come down
While we’re stepping along the straight and narrow
Carrying each other’s joy and sorrows
I want you for my whole life,
won’t you tell me that you’d be my wife

Chemical
03:31
|

Best of the best say “you chemical mess,
give your head a rest from your heaven stress”
Cool kids kicking down commitments,
it’s not permanent, you can always quit.
A covenant is not a contract
Marry me, yeah, marry me
True love in spite of sirens will
Carry me, yeah, carry me,
Through the thicket of w-wild winds
Spring, summer, fall, winter, winter
Seasons won’t change this sinner, sinner
Though my feelings may lose their leaves
and say goodbye
I’ll love, love, love you til I die.
General public kicking their pops
Men are merely mental cephalopods
Screens scream that women are mine
For my eyes to sell and buy
Imago Dei
Marry me, yeah, marry me
True love in spite of sirens will
Carry me, yeah, carry me,
Through the thicket of w-wild winds
Spring, summer, fall, winter, winter
Seasons won’t change this sinner, sinner
Though my feelings may lose their leaves
and say goodbye
I’ll love, love, love you til I die.
Goodness, please don’t quantify
to chemicals your human kind.
Can’t you see we’re kinda comin’ undone,
your chemicals they burn me up.

Love's Goodbye
02:34
|
|||
Pity be upon the strong
and those who know they've got it all
You don't
Build your castles nice and high
You'll never know of love's goodbye
You won't
You'll finally be all alone
You’ve used all your mortar and stone
put your ear on the glass jar against the wall
Not a sound, not a sigh
Not wanting you to waste your breath on me but please forgive me before love's goodbye
A wise man told
"guard against your greed"
It'll fill your life with pretty things
Life does not consist an in
abundance of posessions
it don't
You'll finally be all alone
You’ve used all your mortar and stone
put your ear on the glass jar against the wall
Not a sound, not a sigh
Not wanting you to waste your breath on me but please forgive me before love's goodbye
Life, it don’t consist in an abundance of possesions
If you keep your soul in brick in stone
65 degrees, a pretty permanant home
Keep it out of the sun and it’ll become
rubble in your homegrown catacomb

Quicksand
04:15
|
|||
Swallowed by a choice to stand
On no hard rock but on quicksand
Enveloped in a dark, wet dust
Our footing got the best of us
oh, oh, oh, swallowed
Sunrays beat a burning tune
Vultures dance with fork and spoon
A mockery of my demise
He that cannot move he dies
oh, oh, oh, swallowed
Don’t come around
If you’re only into hanging with cool souls
None to be found
in this lil pit I’ve made my own
But if you’re into saving the
broken, repentent
I’m your man
Take my hand
Step on in
to this quicksand
oh, oh, oh, swallowed
Somewhere along the path I’ve gone wrong ways
I seen the signs, yet crossed the line of no escape
I can’t get out
I can’t get out
I’m stuck
in this sin
I was a fool for befriending those
little packs of foxes, rats,
they called me deeper in
oh, oh, oh, swallowed

Missouri Falls
03:14
|
|||
These Missouri falls call me away
To pasts, tomorrows, todays
Melancholy colors cover trees
Too scared to show what's bare beneath
I was a fool to think that I could hide behind these leaves
Unaware that you find foes and befriend your enemies
The eyes of yours don't blink when I exit the trees
Lord says, "My boy, my Ben, come back to me"
Lunar cycles spin the seas around
Despite tight ships, man's plans all run aground
Folly, I went and built a boat of pine
Thinking I'd hide from your mercies, oh my
Seasons changing, seas are raging
Your moon and wind keep on spinning
All my leaves are gone from your weathering winds
I'm a villain, no melanin on skeleton
Avoiding eye lock with my God, oh my God

Slowly Surely
04:25
|
|||
Two hearts turn to one Father above
Who gently calls in love
Turn your eyes to the light, be satisfied
By peace and joy found in Christ
Slowly, surely, His love becomes our own
Though we’re dirtied by sin that we can’t atone
He overlooks our stains,
Giving us new names
No guilt, no shame,
Our Father washes clean
Two hearts turn away, the problem of pain
Leaves us with naught but faith
Take my hand and walk straight through the dark
Led by the light of Christ
Slowly, Surely His path becomes our own
Though we’re dirtied by roads we’ve travelled alone
He forgives our past
Old sins have been cast away,
We’re given new names
Our Father washes clean
Slowly, surely, His love becomes our own
Though we’re dirtied by sin that we can’t atone
He overlooks our stains,
Giving us new names
No guilt, no shame,
Our Father washes clean

Forgiveness is an elephant who's attempting to forget
A grey and grizzled past that's grown heavy on his back
His wrinkled skin worn thin by circuses and sin
Years of tent revival replayed, rewind, playback
Nay, nay, I won't suffocate
What you meant for pain will see the daybreak
I traded hell for heaven
I’ve seen what love can do
I’ll live as one who’s been forgiven
And I’ll give the same to you
Healing what’s been wrong
Is restoration’s song
I’ll live as one who’s been forgiven
And I’ll give the same to you
Forgiveness is an enlisted young man come back from Nam
Who can't un-see those bloody scenes or wipe napalm off his hands
What damnations against nations, the chasm between us is sorrily spacious
For this home town hero who's met with nothing less than
a face full of toothy allegations
No no I won’t hold on
What evil has done will see the dawn
I traded hell for heaven
I’ve seen what love can do
I’ll live as one who’s been forgiven
And I’ll give the same to you
Healing what’s been wrong
Is restoration’s song
I’ll live as one who’s been forgiven
And I’ll give the same to you
Bitterness will eat you from the inside
Vengeance, that parasite eat you alive
One piece of your soul, one bite at a time
You think you can fight that which takes no surivors
But come to me, you vengeful, weary
And I will replace revenge with grace

Sweet Sweet America
03:57
|
|||
Land of amber waves,
a past paved with both blood and peace
both greed and grace
Headboards and headstones
of cradles and graves, oh the price we’ve paid
I’m implicated but in denial
that my passion for progress has become my idol
I’m of inconsequence, a resident,
but if this is my home, who’s responsible for it
You’re both and,
Beauty, decay
A luminous lighthouse
A den of dismay
You’re both and,
righteous and wrong
A corrupted courthouse
Singing justice songs
Sweet, sweet america
My home sweet home
Like Samson’s haircut,
I let you go
I never turned my heart to my neighbor
Never set it free
Sweet, sweet, america
I’m sorry
Lady Liberty, calling come with me
Ya’ll beggars and bums, c’mon and be someone
But the queen’s copper dress has gone green
Now equating riches with identity
You’re life’s not found in your payroll,
entitled opulence is gonna burn a hole
Through your pocket, your wallet, your leather billfold,
Careful what you carry, it could break your soul
You’re both and,
Beauty, decay
Illuminous lighthouse
A den of dismay
You’re both and,
righteous and wrong
A corrupted courthouse
Singing justice songs
Sweet, sweet america
My home sweet home
Like Samson’s haircut,
I let you go
I never turned my heart to my neighbor
Never set it free
Sweet, sweet, america
I’m sorry
A-M-E-R-I-C-A
Your country begins in your own backyard
A-M-E-R-I-C-A
Your country begins in your own red and blue heart
A-M-E-R-I-C-A
Your country belongs to your next door neighbor
A-M-E-R-I-C-A
Your depends on your own love labors
Sweet, sweet, America
My father's home
Like Samson's haircut,
I let you go
I got comfortable and complacent
In my apathy
Sweet, sweet, America,
I'm sorry

Sin No More
04:39
|
|||
These small soldier’s fields are near healing
Still his heart’s holding loose ends and woundings
He’ll be the last to say
that he’s not in need of change
The sin in his soul’s before him everyday
Love til your heart’s sore
Pull foes up off the floor
No other way to go and sin no more
Love enemies in war
Forgive though hurt before
No other way to go and sin no more
Just dust devils spinning and fighting the wind
Crusted creatures kickin', back biting in sin
Antagonistic opposition rules
All qualified to call each other fools
Love til your heart’s sore
Pull foes up off the floor
No other way to go and sin no more
Love enemies in war
Forgive though hurt before
No other way to go and sin no more
This here heart’s been healed and sealed in love
But I’m a liar if I say I’m all done
I’ll be the last to say that I’m not in need of change
The sin in my soul is before me everyday
Love til your heart’s sore
Pull foes up off the floor
No other way to go and sin no more
Love enemies in war
Forgive though hurt before
No other way to go and sin no more

The Exorcist
05:14
|
|||
There are bitter winds howlin’
For a crevice to fill
Finding desolate houses
With a drafty chill
From lands without water,
They come blowin’ back
To old homes kept in order
With the rest of their pack
There’s more to this life
than we’d like
to say is in sight
A dark and light,
demon and divine
outside
I’ll live for the exorcist
Made my life worth living
I lived a life of unrest
This world had my possessed
He kicked down the door to my house
And he threw those demons out
He knelt down and called me son
bid me follow him and come
No room in this inn
for the foe’s evil schemes of sin
I know I’m only blood and bone
but my landlord’s the Holy Ghost
my oak limbs are creaking like the mayflower,
I’m bending under power;
Darts and arrows flame alight
but by God, I’m airtight.
Check my breastplate,
Belt around my waist;
Faith, my carapace
Sword of the word
Rest assured
of it’s sharp edge
Against forces
of darkness
It protects
No vacancy
I’m completely
tenanted
By the life so sweet
of my dear Holy
Spirit
