Turning
05:30
|
|||
Everything and nothing both seem possible
I am hanging, twisting in between
Trapped between fast forward and instant replay
Over and over and over – the same old scene
From somewhere far away and deep inside of me
I can hear You whispering my name
I turn away, turn back again to hear You say
“You … are the reason that I came’
Each time I turn away the landscape changes
When I turn back You’re still standing there
Down below a thousand fires are smouldering
Higher up there’s cleaner, purer air
I run into a deep and empty wilderness
Thinking I am running away from You
Overhead the sky is bleached, impervious
Where it touches earth it’s a richer shade of blue

Blues Ain't Nothin'
04:44
|
|||
Blues ain’t nothin’ but a heart out lookin’ for a home
It’s a lost heart out lookin,' busted up and all alone
Blues ain’t nothin’ but a soul out cryin’ in the wind
A voice cryin’ in the wilderness, sick and tired of all it’s been
Blues ain’t nothin’ but a wound wantin’ to be healed
Cannot see it but it’s so real
Blues ain’t nothin’ but desire been unsatisfied
Just a burnin’ empty longing, chasin’ down another lie
Blues ain’t nothin’ but a body hangin’ on a tree
And He, if He be lifted, gonna set the captive free

City of Refuge
04:28
|
|||
There’s a city ‘cross the river and it’s shining from within
People are dancing on the ramparts
Beckoning to you to come on in
To the city of refuge
You better run, you better hide
Stay low on the saddle as you ride
There’s one more river you got to cross
Got to bear the weight of what you’ve lost
That river is hungry, jealous as the grave
Got to let go of the things you want to save …
I love the dark, I love the night
I feel so naked when the sun is shining bright
I wash my hands, can’t get them clean
My mind replays every sordid scene
That river wails a mournful tune
A song as cold and lonely as the moon
Now saddle up, it’s time to go
I love you more than you could ever know
I’m by your side – no, you’re not lost
Every man got to carry his own cross
So pick it up, let go your pride
I swear I’ll meet you on the other side …

Diamond in Your Eyes
06:06
|
|||
I know You been down every hole
I ever fell into
You bought back every heart I stole
Now they all belong to You
It’s hard down here
Hard to see the sky
It’s hard to believe
I’m a diamond in Your eyes
Running through a dream last night
I wrestled You till dawn
You broke me as You held me tight
You named me and were gone
I’d climb each trail again
Through forest field or waste
Love distilled each drop of pain
And I’d die for just one taste …

Water Into Wine
06:22
|
|||
Got your call, Your voice sounded strange
You said that a lot of things have changed
Been aching, hoping for so long
There were things between us that were wrong
Fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
Ooo - water into wine
My ma chere amie-o, oh so fine
Muddy water turning into wine
Pretending we were close drove me away
All those things kept getting in the way
Let’s make a fire and burn ‘em so you see
I’ll come near if You’ll come near to me
I want some wild and crazy kind of dance
Not some heartless version of romance
Hand in hand let’s risk something new
‘Cause what I really really want is You
Cabernet and Bordeaux, Chardonnay
Chianti, baby, they all fade away
Chateauneuf du pape goin’ let you down
What I’m makin like nothin else around
I love to dream in shades of You
Not thinking bout a bunch of things to do
Yeah …. Just bein’ there with You
My heart just pounds if that’s what You want too

Higher Ground
04:17
|
|||
I’m going up country
Gonna find some higher ground
Flood waters been a-rising
‘less I move I believe I’m gonna drown
I just wanna go the distance
The whole distance with You
Make more difference what I be
Than anything I ever do
Oh, I been longing
Longing so much for Your tender care
I been dreaming such a long time
What it’s like with You there
I been looking and a-searching
Oh Lord I need a home
I know I hit the bottom
I cannot make it on my own
Been wandering all these years
Now I need You by my side
Been running such a long time
Ain’t no place left for me to hide

Killing Time
05:02
|
|||
Somewhere out there the water meets the sky
Blue meets blue in an everlasting kiss
I’m longing for something that I can’t describe
But I know without a doubt I was made for this
The vampire night drops sharp as a guillotine
Voices of the stars call across an eternal sea
I’m drowning, drowning in a deep desire
This killing time is killing me
Do you call that passion?
My child you don’t know what passion is …
Do you call that passion?
For a handful of change you’d betray Me with a kiss
Let me tell you ‘bout passion:
Sweating drops of blood just to save you from all this
Let me tell you ’bout passion …
Sometimes I think I hear angelic choirs
Sometimes I feel the flames just licking at my feet
I’m drowning, drowning in a deep desire
This killing time is killing me
Passion…

I Thirst
05:59
|
|||
Venetian shadows lie here and stare
Incessant heat, listless air
Throb of a diesel, nighthawk screams
Long for some water but drift to a dream
I thirst
I thirst …
No clouds in the desert, dunes everywhere
Shimmering haze, cellophane air
A beckoning pool in the distance ahead
But when I arrive it’s just sand instead
I thirst
I thirst
Let me drink where the cool water flows
I come to this well like so often before
Oasis of habit brings me back for more
You wait unchanging as these desert skies
Only You, only You can satisfy
I thirst
I thirst…
Anguish of spirit, turbulent fatigue
On account of a quest of endless intrigue
Your tongue cleaves to your jaws ‘neath a blacked-out sun
You pour Yourself out – living water has come
I thirst
I thirst…
You said it yourself
I hear it again and again
My own longing echoes your pain
And I thirst

Hey Louis
03:54
|
|||
Hey, Louis, how do you do?
Got a minute, can I talk with you?
It’s not a dream; tears aren’t what they seem
Movies ain’t like they used to be
I miss the part where you get set free
It’s not a dream; tears aren’t what they seem
Could it be? Yeah, I know it’s a chance –
Some way to change this crying to a dance
She never promised it would end this way
I believed all she had to say
It’s not a dream; tears aren’t what they seem
Hey, Lou, I need to hear a song
That heals the hurt, makes me sing along
It’s not a dream; tears aren’t what they seem
Could it be? I know it’s a chance ...
Hey Lou, who can explain
How this sadness turns to joy
And peace comes from the pain?
If only there could be some clue
Some way it all could be true
It’s not a dream; tears aren’t what they seem
I like to think about a time to come
When tears reflect bright shining sun
It’s not a dream; tears aren’t what they seem
Could it be? I know it’s a chance ...

Calling Me Up
04:28
|
|||
Went down to Queen Street, saw the hip kid there
All dressed in black, rainbows in her hair
Rings in her nose, in her eyebrows too
Pierced in so many places it made me think of you
You keep on calling me up
You keep on calling me near
You keep on calling me higher and closer
Til Your voice is all I can hear
I’m terrified of losing control
But You keep on telling me
You just want to make me whole
Talk, talk, talk, talk – 6 billion tongues
Fill up the ozone with 6 billion songs
All unique, every one the same
Every voice is Yours – You know every name ...
Now I get lost with my eyes on the ground
When I look up, it makes me look around
At all that painful beauty, everything that’s true
Everything I see now makes me think of You

Jar of Clay
04:34
|
|||
I’m not good but I’m forgiven
I’m not pure, but I’m made pure
Sure not righteous but I’m clothed in righteousness
It’s the work of Jesus for sure
You put your light in this jar of clay
You shine out as I fall apart
Discarded for faults and weakness
But I’m found deep in Your heart
But I’m found deep in Your heart
It’s not much but I keep believing in You
It’s the only thing I can do
Your mercy love keeps chasing me down
Somehow making me new
I just want to be content in You
Not weighed down by my stubborn will
What matters most is looking at You
Being quiet and being still
I know I’m an earthen vessel
Until I see You face to face
And I know You’ll make sure that I get home
Grace upon grace upon grace …

Angel of Yonge
03:53
|
|||
I just saw an angel walking down the street
And he do that crazy shuffle – got to love those funky feet
The sound of the city is the pounding of his heartbeat
He raise up his hands in blessing to everyone he meet
And he’s talking ‘bout love
Talking ‘bout love
He’s talking ‘bout love … love
He got hair white like wool and eyes like burning coal
Newspapers in his boots and fire down in his soul
His tears run like the rivers down his glowing face
He got a smile just like the stars, full of truth and grace
I just saw an angel …

Mystery to Me
03:59
|
|||
It’s true that I’m confused about so many things
And I haven’t got a clue about what tomorrow brings
It’s a mystery to me where all my money goes
But I tell you this one thing that I do surely know
She smiles at the future but she don’t forget the past
And she lives every day like it might be her last
It’s a mystery to me how she has been set free
But I tell you this one thing that I can surely see
If all could become only
And God would grant the sum
Of my dreams and my desires
Then she would be the one
She’s made like a diamond but she shines like polished gold
She’s clothed in fine white linen with grace in every fold
It’s a mystery to me where her light comes from
But I tell you this one thing that leaves me all undone …

Resurrection Parade
04:50
|
|||
Hungry and thirsty, walking down the street
Looking in the windows at the good things to eat and drink
But I got no money in my pocket and all my dreams are torn
I know I am not welcome in these places, no –
I do not belong but I want it all so bad I can almost taste it
Wanna drink some wine wanna eat some bread
I’m looking for a land of milk and honey
Yes I remember one hot summer evening
When the dying sun hung like a great big purple eyeball
Weeping all over the buildings while the muscle cars on Yonge Street Lurched from stoplight to stoplight
And the panhandlers and the hookers
And the road warriors and the hot dog vendors
And the suits and the rock stars were all stumbling through the haze
Wanna drink some wine wanna eat some bread
I’m looking for a land of milk and honey
Deepest blue I hear a saxophone play
Leading the band in the resurrection parade
I walk into this room it was the sanctuary of an old church
And the band is sitting there
Leaning on their instruments with a look of glory in their eyes
So we jammed a while
I think it was a blues shuffle in A
Then this rat-tailed drummer puts down his sticks
And give me a look and says,
“So tell me, son, what are you really doing here?”
I said
Wanna drink some wine…
And you know when a man will not satisfy his hunger
With the things that are righteous he fills up on whatever is at hand
There’s a man standing in the alley
Singing out of the dark straight to my heart
“Come and get it, wine, good wine, milk and honey and fresh bread
And it won’t cost you nothing because it’s already been paid for.”
Wanna drink some wine…
Deepest blue I hear a saxophone play
Leading the band in the resurrection parade
Way off in the back corner of heaven is a tiny barrio
Where all the people live who just barely squeezed through the gate
And in its dingiest corner is a greasy little lounge
Called Grace’s Bar and Grill
… Red Rain has the house gig there for all eternity …
and every Thursday night the Lord stops in to play saxophone
Wanna drink some wine
Wanna eat some bread ...
