Psalm 19:14 Let the words of my mouth And the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord My strength and my Redeemer … Pilgrimage We are living in the last days Never have we been closer to His second coming He’s returning to reign over all the earth He’ll set up His throne in Jerusalem He’ll set up His throne in Jerusalem He’ll set up His throne in Jerusalem So until then we’re on a pilgrimage. There is coming a day when this war will end No more battling the devil, the world or the flesh No more pain, nor crying, nor suffering, nor death We’ll have resurrection bodies And we’ll look upon the Holy One The Son of God, His scars of love Come celebrate how great He has been to us All He’s done for us on our pilgrimage. We’re on a pilgrimage We’re on a pilgrimage There ain’t no looking back No turning back. Blessed is the man whose strength is in Thee As they pass through the valley of weeping They make it a spring, the rain also covers it with pools They go from strength to strength And everyone of them appears before God in Zion Everyone of us appears before God Whose heart is set on pilgrimage. Without You I can do nothing With You I can do all things You chose me for the highest calling To follow the King of kings You always lead me in triumph But the way is narrowing I am in need of endurance To run the race and win the prize To shine my light To fight the good fight That my joy no one may take from me Let no one steal my crown On my pilgrimage. I’m on my pilgrimage I’m on my pilgrimage There ain’t no looking back No turning back We’re on a pilgrimage We’re on a pilgrimage There ain’t no looking back No there ain’t no looking back No there ain’t no looking back No there ain’t no looking back No turning back …

Tell Me what you feel I just want you to be real There is no need to be afraid You don’t have to fear what I say 'Cause I am for you I’m committed to see you through Nothing can ever separate you and I Please don’t frustrate My grace 'Cause you’ve been losing hope You feel you’re at the end of your rope Life is overwhelming you Staggering under all you’ve been through You feel so misunderstood You fail to see anything good Yet while that evil voice is roaring You have a destiny in glory. There is sunshine and there is rain And there is a price that must be paid What it takes is simple faith You must become like children You must become like children again Bound up by doubt Self-preoccupied, burnt-out O, just to know that ancient secret: You have to die to truly live Then to be released From self-imposed captivity To know the ecstasy of freedom To soar on the wings of liberty There is sunshine and there is rain And there is a price that must be paid What it takes is simple faith You must become like children You must be born again To enter into heaven Tell Me what you feel I just want you to be real There is no need to be afraid You don’t have to fear what I say You’ll grow up through this pain It will not always be this way Strengthen your heart Washing rain keep pouring You have a destiny in glory You have a destiny in glory You have a destiny in glory.

You never gave up on me Though I did You’d never walk out on me When I fled And now You have me at the altar I do, I do take this Man In the desert for a season of tempting In the lonely wilderness again But You will never leave nor forsake me I believe, I believe in this Man When are You coming back for me, my love? When are You going to take me home? I don’t belong here No, no, no There will I be free from my doubts and fears That no one seems to really care for me down here No, no, no But should You tarry, I will understand I’s a lady in waiting for my Man Pure linen white what was scarlet For the virgin bride who was a harlot Rise up, my love, and come away I am sick with love, what can I say? The dowry of the Groom begins to unfold And carry me away across the threshold Today You have me at the altar I believe, I believe in this Man. This day I pledge myself to You I do, I do, I do, I do I do take this Man …

I have wrestled into the night I can’t get You out of my mind I am giving up the fight And leaving my fear behind For You are altogether lovely And I won’t deny that I desire You I’ve been faking most of my life Trying to avoid Your eyes But I’ve been taken for a ride My heart has embraced a lie But You are altogether lovely And I can’t deny that I delight in You You’re the closest friend That I can really talk to And You’re the only one Who carries all of my cares You called my name You took my chain You set me free when I was enslaved On the slave train Now I’ve got nothing left to lose And everything to gain And I ain’t gonna sing the blues no more I’m changing trains And You are altogether lovely And I just can’t deny You’re the light of my life I love You I love You I love You.

You’re running away From something that’s already found you It laughs in your face It wants to devour you The world loves its own But you never felt at home here So you go it alone But you know there’s no escape You can’t run away from what’s inside of you You can’t hide from the truth And the truth is you’re running away. I tell you the truth You’re a lost sheep among wolves And the Shepherd He’s calling your name And He knows His own And His own hear His voice He’s calling you home But He’s giving you the choice He simply won’t coerce Or force you to be His friend Cause my Lord He’s a gentleman So today when you hear His voice Do not harden your heart He wants you for the kingdom If you mean business When you say you’re searching for God Then be through with man’s wisdom He stands knocking at the door of your heart In the bondage of your peers you don’t hear These end times are almost gone The war for souls rages on So today when you hear His voice Listen for a change Listen for a change Listen for a change One black day I found myself at the mercy of the powers that be The hounds of hell were poised to destroy me And I stood alone on the brink of the void And I stood accused and I didn’t have a case I knew I was to blame For the choices I’d made For refusing God’s grace Now there’ll be no escape I can’t run away, no …

O my soul, why are you cast down? And why are you disquieted in me? My soul thirsts for the living God When will I appear before my King? O my God, my soul is cast down Deep calleth unto deep Yet at the sound of Thy waterfalls All Thy waves and billows are gone over me Yet the Lord will command His lovingkindness In the daytime and in the night His song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life. I will say, unto God my rock, “Why have You forgotten me? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?” My tears have been my food day and night As they say to me “Where is your king?” Yet as the deer pants after water brooks So pants my soul after Thee, after Thee Let not your heart be troubled My peace I give unto you Not as the world gives, and though I’ve gone away I’m coming back again for you Lord, I will sing, You are my King You are my everything And I am Your son, Lord, lead me on But don’t leave me down here too long Yet when I’m weak You are strong When I am weak You are strong in me. O my soul, why are you cast down? And why are you disquieted in me? O my God, my soul is cast down Deep calleth unto deep Yet the Lord will command his lovingkindness In the daytime and in the night His song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life Unto the God of my life Unto the God of my life.

Father, I’m always thinking of myself I’m rarely really caring about anybody else As if the world revolved around me But now I’ve been exposed and I see my selfishness Self-righteousness, and my self-pity Please forgive me. Lord, have mercy on me. Father, I’ve been thinking about Your Son In the garden when He prayed, “Not My will, but Thine be done.” And as the world rebels against Him Why do I care if I am hated for His name’s sake? The name above all names Lord Jesus Christ I want to rededicate my life to You I want to be renewed Live through me Manifest Yourself in me Give through me Shine Your light for all to see And make me die to myself You’re the only one who matters now Father, I’ve been thinking about Your Spirit He’s everywhere, He’s always here I call upon You now ‘Cause in this world that alienates me I see how much sin has polluted me Yet to greater degree I see O yes, I see Your tender mercy Your tender mercy 'Cause Jesus, You died for me Jesus, You died for me Jesus, You died for everybody.

Do not arouse or awaken love Until it so desires And do not despise the sacred heart That lights passion’s fire Love is a mystery So grope for the light in your darkness Don’t ever give up till you find it Do not arouse or awaken love Until it so desires And do not despise the sacred heart That lights passion’s fire Love is a mystery So grope for the light in your darkness Don’t ever give up till you find it You’ve spent many a lonely year Fashioning your wall Built upon dead hopes and fears And your failures Your fortress seems impregnable Your heart so coldly guarded Your countenance has hardened You’re lost and blind To His light in your darkness Enlighten your darkness And do not arouse or awaken love Until it so desires And do not despise the sacred heart That lights passion’s fire His love is a mystery So grope for the light in your darkness Don’t ever let go till you find it You’ve sought love with many tears Given heed to the siren’s cry Yet you’ve never really trusted your Saviour His love for you is inseparable He gives comfort to the downcast O, if only you would hearken Your real Father cries for you In your wilderness wandering He cries in your wilderness So do not arouse or awaken love Until it so desires And do not despise the sacred heart That lights passion’s fire Love is a mystery So grope for the light in your darkness Don’t ever give up till you find it Don’t let go, no Don’t let go, baby He still loves you so Don't let go Don't let go Don’t let go …

The Bleeding Charity Free for the taking A fragrant offering That cost You everything O Lamb of God that was slain To take away my sin Sometimes my heart feels like lead My trains of thought don’t connect My stubborn flesh, it rebels, And I’m the hypocrite – given to extremes But O Jesus You’re my Bleeding Charity O Jesus, O Jesus O Jesus, Lord Jesus You have been my Friend Ever faithful to the end And You have broken my chains, And You have lifted my shame And You have given me a new name And adopted me into Your family O Jesus You’re my Bleeding Charity After all the times we’ve been together And after all the ups and downs we’ve been through After all this time we’re still together And it’s forever that I intend to love You But I’ve just got to be real with You You know who I am Surely nothing is hidden from Your sight Your eyes of fire O Jesus My bleeding sacrifice.

Such a day as this Too busy for You The cares of life are choking in on me Not withered Yet bearing no fruit And my brotherly love Seems lost to me now, now, now O me of little faith Don’t know when it started Or where it will end My thoughts are gone scattered My patience wearing thin Satan’s lurking around And it’s dragging me down, down, down O me of little faith. My God, my God, why have I forsaken You? No one can snatch me from Your hand But I’m my own worst enemy – is me The more I think into this The less I understand It’s like fighting to free yourself When you’re sinking in quicksand I’ve been leaning too long and hard On my own understanding O Lord, Lord, Lord O me of little faith O me of little faith. There’s been some strange happenings Beyond my control Yet I know all things work together For good to those who love the Lord The called according to His purpose And I still love You, Lord And I will serve only You – You Such a day as this One thing’s for sure My Lord don’t give up on me In spite of my failure With a word and a touch He is healing me with His love, love, love Cause my Jesus loves me My Jesus loves me Me of little faith O me of little faith O me of little faith …

Time is running out On a sad blue planet Time is winding down Toward the wind-up Sin and grace abound Man hanging in the balance 11:59 and flirting with disaster Sometimes I wonder how it might have been If we had never fallen into sin Paradise gained, then lost A quantum leap to a brave new world Complete the tower of Babel For one last call the Son is setting On the downtrodden masses For the changing of the guard Closed and opened doors The breaking of the yoke With a double-edged sword Sometimes I wonder where we might have been If He hadn’t come to set the captives free There would we be in our slavery He’s run amok, pulling strings The author of confusion With diabolic puppetry And thinly-veiled delusions False goddess mother earth Grandiose utopias Imposed with grave abandonment And desperate recklessness Sometimes I wonder how it might have been If he had not rebelled against the King A dangerous being prowls our galaxy The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.” A politically correct ship of fools is flying into the sun In the calm before the storm The storm before the calm But if we miss this boat We’ll be swept up in the flood Sometimes I wonder how it might have been If we had never fallen into sin Paradise gained, then lost Time is running out on a sad blue planet Time is winding down toward the wind-up Time is running out on a sad blue planet Time is running out …

Rocking down that busy street The wide, ignoble path beneath our feet Seek and you can find The dark and savage breaches of mankind Knock on any door The silent cries The grim visage of war. Freedom on the run The underhanded hand that fires the gun Untruth on the loose The wolf in shepherd’s clothing flaunts the noose Knock on any door War clouds loom A deadline drawing forth. Deadline Deadline Deadline Deadline … deadline Storm before the calm We’re the battlefield in the war of right and wrong Dark horizon seen The bubble’s burst so wake up from your dream Knock on any door The rising tide The deadline drawing forth Knock on any door Ask anyone who cares Everyone Everywhere Be aware …

Look out your windows, babies Breathe in the air Life is everywhere Now take a deep breath And mind the gap Observe your step most carefully These days we’re living on the edge. Now open your eyes, babies, Look if you dare The rich man sleeping on the poor man’s back Proletariat, no time to see Too busy doing the treadmill Playing the lottery The living end. Riding the tide Blind leading the blind This critical hour Haunted in a house of lies Modern man not as wise as he’d like to believe. Open your mind, baby, What will you see? Hallucination or reality? You’d better stay real Better not betray yourself unto yourself Prepare to meet thy Maker The night is on its way. Biding the time Blind leading the blind This critical hour Haunted in the house of lies Modern man none the wiser Taught himself to sacrifice everything For security Peace and security Some security O ye of little faith …

It’s late in the day The night is on its way A storm is rolling in And it might just be the end Yes, a sad song plays in a world so far astray It’s counting down the hour Of a once-sweet dream gone sour Reason, where have you been hiding lately? Treason, and misuse of the power insanely Let a time bomb tick away. It’s late in the day The time bomb ticks away Violence lights the fuse Conspirators tighten the noose An endless road awaits The world’s a powder keg Can calamity resolve the question asked within us all Reason, where have you been hiding lately? Treason, and misuse of the power insanely Freedom, where have you been hiding lately? Treason and misuse of the power insanely Let a time bomb tick away …

This very day, one hour closer to all eternity There’s many shades of grey Now taking sides for their paternity leave We’re being pushed off of the fence The house of cards is tumbling down and it’s a loaded deck And where are you now in this cruel world? Are you part of the machine that’s breaking down? There’s too many being burned Come join the ranks of the redeemed And give the Lord a chance Then you’ll know what I mean. It’s a scary day, storm clouds gathering with certainty Thus many led astray down the garden paths of heresy And I remember you in school You were cool, were no one’s fool Said you would not be used But where are you now in this cruel world? Are you part of the machine that’s breaking down? There’s too many being hurt Come join the ranks of the redeemed And give the Lord a chance Then you’ll know what I mean Don’t reject Him if you’ve never met Him Though He is not far from every one of us Who do you say this Jesus really is? He is the Messiah, the Son of the living God And history is culminating at His second coming Where will He find you when He does? These last days A valley of decision for multitudes of lost humanity The last of the last generation A front-row seat for the grand finale And I remember you in school You were cool, you were nobody’s fool Insisted you would not be used But where are you now, in this cruel world? Are you part of the machine that’s breaking down? There’s too many being burned Come join the ranks of the redeemed Where are you now, in this cruel world? Are you part of the machine that’s breaking down? There’s too many being hurt Come join the ranks of the redeemed And give the Lord a chance Behold the scars on His hands In Him we get a second chance This is the ultimatum: Repent! Believe!

Lying low Trying to make ends meet Dying slowly Get on your feet Wise and holy Yet so unhappy Life’s a lonely Yet oh, can be so sweet If you can strike a tune between yourself and you You’d know I’d love you girl and I’d do anything for you Tell me what to do, don’t tell me that you’re through I’d do anything for you. Going through with the motions Passing the time There is no secret potion for peace of mind Life is an ocean with an ebbing tide So may we find the solution After we die If you can strike a tune between yourself and you You’ll know I’d love you girl and I’d do anything for you Tell me what to do, don’t tell me that you’re through I’d do anything for you. Strike up a tune between yourself and you I love you girl, I’d do anything for you Tell me what to do, please don’t tell me that you’re through I’d do anything for you I’d do anything for you.

Started on a summer’s day Beechwood Forest came to be Branded in our collective psyche A madman’s legacy No respecter of persons Old men and women Young boys and girls In a struggle for survival On starvation rations Waxing axiomatic “Labour makes freedom” “To each his due” As the yellow star diaspora Was doomed to perish In a reign of terrors In a house of horrors At Beechwood Forest Life was cheap. Fools wring their anguished hands: “How could this ever happen?” Goons flail their heiling arms: “Why did it take so long?” Heard spewing on the radio: Beechwood and its ilk were a hoax Elaborate conspiracy Concocted by world Jewry But that unnatural selection Of staggering tattooed skeletons Weren’t no figment of imagination.

And so it goes, not so long ago My life was falling apart Got down so low I damned-near choked On the blood of my bleeding heart At the end of my rope Newfound utopia had a reprimand Without no friends did seem my end Still remember the Voice in my head said “Never surrender.” For the summer of my school daze was over I was down to the dregs And the band was on its last legs ‘Twas a bummer Reached the breaking point October High upon a mountainside Reached out and cried to the sky (help me!) Never surrender Never surrender to the devil Door-to-door J.W. boys Ornery 'Christian' salesman Draw the sword and thrust it toward My sorry mortal soul, man Oh, I got to get away, can’t take it this way: Are you for us, are you against us? So the page is writ and the Scripture’s ripped Yet from the bowels of my soul He said, “Never surrender!” Turned to face the music of my soul search And in the sound there was truth To be found in the inner groove To embrace the beauty of the whole earth So turn around inside you And tell yourself Good News! Well have you ever wondered ‘bout it Will we ever be free? Ever checked into the lost-and-found Of broken hearts and shattered dreams? So it goes, the cold winds blow Head-on, one-way, dead-end But where there’s hope you don’t let go Remember who your friends are And never surrender No never surrender Never surrender to the devil ...

Sitting alone in the café Nowhere to go But to depths he has sounded Sitting unnoticed, unfathomed Dim flickering hope sights the moat He is surrounded Dreaming and thinking collide And riot to incite The wee hours of the morning light Piracies lash at his mind Deep inside he must find Strength to last another torrid night I keep a night light by my pillow At night it helps me to my sleep And the farces of today Don’t dare stand in the way Of the force of mother nature! Sitting alone in the bar Your time has come too far Now you’re a loner holding the bag Wife and boy ain’t home no more They took off with a star But at least you got the car Drink until you sink yourself down Till your hands reach for the ground You won’t be driving anymore Did you have to prove it anyway? Not much else to say: "He always drew an unlucky card" Should keep a night light by your pillow These days it gets so hard to sleep And the things that keep us awake Hey, they sure hold a lot of sway On human nature. Sitting at home in your mansion Nowhere to go Though everything’s open Anything to want is at your feet A life so complete So what needs to be spoken? Well you can tell me And I can tell you It don’t matter baby really what we do Cause I love you And that’s all that matters You’ve got to love me After all that matters.

The inmates are running the asylum Same old circus, different clowns Underdog Fall out with the tribal leaders Fall in with the great unwashed Underdog In the crosshairs you are locked As armchair quarterbacks boo and scoff Underdog Trampled underfoot, branded loser Off of the bandwagon, see them jump Underdog Down and out with no time left on the clock You took one for the team, Champion Underdog Flaming out in a blaze of glory Snatching victory from the tyrant’s jaws Underdog So uncork the new wine of Your triumph Lift up your hearts, sing a new anthem Underdog Underdog You underdog!

Silently and unseen I wander Seeking quiet time to spend with just You Weaving through this life of folly and blunder As the wheat and chaff divide none too soon Lost in my mind I can’t escape me Tossed in my thoughts That love and hate me Striving through the tests, Rejoice then, my son Struck down, perplexed, distressed We shall press on Lost in my mind I can’t escape me Tossed in my thoughts That love and hate me As I await Thee Will vain words have an end? Are there not mockers with me? For mine eyes have poured tears out unto God But now He hath made me weary We have this treasure in earthen vessels That the excellency of the power May be of God and not of us We have this treasure in earthen vessels That the excellency of the power May be of God and not of us May be of God and not of us Curse God and die No He’s the way, the truth, the life This I know Pierced at His side flows His blood that is life That saved my soul My Lord, accursed is he Who hangs on a tree And You died there for me Forsaken, so alone Crowned with thorns Yet death could not hold you Now the curtain is torn You’re taking us home I want to go home Set your sights Upon the kingdom’s throne You’ve seen the light This world is not your home Lost in my mind I can’t escape me Tossed in my thoughts That love and hate me Lost in my mind I can’t escape me Tossed in my thoughts That love and hate me I will await Thee O my Lord.

You delivered me From the arms of the evil one Saved from that dark tower Now I’m prisoner of the Son O Jesus, You set my spirit free I called unto You And You have healed me Sing, o ye saints of His And give thanks at the remembrance Of His holiness For His anger endures but a moment O Jesus You set my spirit free I cried unto You And You have healed me Hear, O Lord And have mercy upon me To the end that my glory May sing praise to Thee You have turned for me My mourning into dancing Lord, be Thou my helper You delivered me From the hands of the wicked one Saved in my darkest hour Now I’m prisoner of the Son O Jesus You set my spirit free I cried unto You And You have healed me I cried unto You And You have healed me I called unto You And You have healed me You have healed me …

It’s plain to see That the world is doomed And the nuclear destructive power Is just the tip of the iceberg The proof is clear All the signs are here The day is evil And the end is near. Ever since the Fall The writing on the wall Ever since the beginning When we turned our back on our Creator We killed His Son We reject His love Is it any wonder that Judgment Day is coming? You know we raped mother earth (And for what it’s worth) We love to blame the Lord For what’s clearly our fault We are responsible, one and all One and all Is civilization soon to be a wasteland? Has society’s moral fibre been reduced to a frayed strand? Would the human race sooner trade God’s grace For the tightening chains of silent strangulation? Strangulation—the wage of sin The war of ages that rages within A losing battle to fight yourself This is life or death, heaven or hell The choice to live or die So choose life, choose life Choose life … Jesus Christ You know He stood in our stead Tasted death for every man So how do we respond To the truth of this reality If we are responsible for our destiny? Eternal destiny O, heavy baby To speak the truth Not man’s opinion As the facts withstand the test of time To the hour of fulfillment When the Lamb that was slain comes to earth again He's coming back again! As True and Faithful Not the homeless stranger The homeless stranger Our Creator The Babe in the manger Nowhere to lay His head No, nowhere to lay His head The sweet Lord Jesus I love You, Lord Jesus I want to be with You So come back for me soon Please ...!

An angel prayed and laid his hands on me “Heal his pain and fill this empty frame” Now something strange is taking place My space has been invaded And things will never be the same And as I gaze upon Your holy face this fateful midsummer’s day My God, I thought I knew You, but it’s me I’m only fooling And things will never be the same. Many are the years I’ve hid behind a false protection Mainly guarded fears contained within my wall, borne of rejection But I need new direction, can’t keep running away High time to really listen to the One who really cares He says, “Cast your cares upon Me because I care for you The past is passed away, and I make all things new Behold, I make all things new.” An ill-perceived frequency Unlooked-for change of scenery Has honed in on my no-fly zone, is jamming up my radar And things will never be the same When I don’t feel Your love for me, can I love You just the same Because we are meant to be together, my God, it has to be And things will never be the same. Many tears inside have gone unwept as I pretend That I’m content to be alone, but you’re a godsend, my needed friend I need new direction, can’t keep running away High time to really listen to the One who really cares Jesus says, “Cast your cares upon Me because I care for you The past is passed away, and I make all things new Behold, I make all things new.”
