Our Father who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come
Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us
As we forgive those who have sinned against us
Amen.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from the evil one
From the evil one, from all evil
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory
Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory
Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory
Forever and ever, amen
Amen
Amen.

To You, O My Strength
(1989, Junction City, OR)
What the enemy meant for evil
God has turned for my good
What the enemy meant for evil
God has turned for my good
But I will sing of Your power
Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning
For You have been my defence
And refuge in the day of my trouble
What the enemy meant for evil
God has turned for my good
What the enemy meant for evil
God has turned for my good
But I will sing of Your power
Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning
For You have been my defence
And refuge in the day of my trouble
To You, O my strength
I will sing praises for You have been my defence
To You, O my strength
I will sing praises to the God of my mercy
To You, O my strength
I will sing praises for You have been my defence
To You, O my strength
I will sing praises to the God of my mercy
Mercy
Mercy
O, God of my mercy
I will praise You all of my days
You are my Strength, You are my Refuge
I will praise You
What the enemy meant for evil
God has turned for my good
Arise, Shine
(1985, Toronto, ON)
Arise, shine for thy light is come
And the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee
Arise, shine for thy light is come
And the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee
For behold, darkness shall cover the earth
Great darkness shall cover the peoples
But the Lord shall arise upon thee
And His glory shall be seen upon thee
Arise, shine for thy light is come
And the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee
Arise, shine for thy light is come
And the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee
For behold, darkness shall cover the earth
Great darkness shall cover the peoples
But the Lord shall arise upon thee
And His glory shall be seen upon thee
Blow the trumpet in Zion, Zion
Blow the trumpet in Zion, Zion
Blow the trumpet in Zion, Zion
Sound the alarm
Sound the alarm
Sound the alarm …

Seasons of the Heart
05:33
|
|||
|
I am being healed
In a hands-on sort of way
The sorest area of my life
Is coming to a head
I think I know what I want
But You know what I need
My times are in Your hand, dear Lord
My life does not belong to me
So if You’re in this thing
I don’t need to do anything
But walk in the steps
That You have ordered for me
I can rest; You are to be trusted
It is good to wait for You
But letting go of these reins isn’t easy
I’ve held such tight control all my life
You’re asking me
To lay down everything
It only goes to show
You alone are Lord
You are God and I am not
Your ways are not my ways
Your thoughts are not my thoughts
You’ve been so hard on yourself
Emotions are trying to control you
The tempter’s lurking at the door
Self-pity wants to corner you
To lick your wounds
But it’s only a season
In seasons of the heart
And winter is fleeting
The grey is fading
Spring is coming
With blossoms in the desert
So I’ll accept with joy
And I’ll embrace the pain
And I will praise Your holy Name
You must love me very much
To trust that I’ll make it
Through this barren lonely wilderness
To the promised land
Where there will be no more fears
No tears, no doubts, no sorrows
No more misunderstandings
With my friends
It only goes to show
You alone are Lord
You are God and I am not
Your ways are not my ways
Your thoughts are not my thoughts
I am being healed
I am being healed
I am being healed…

The Lonely Saint
05:07
|
|||
|
Late at night
A lonely saint has a vision
No one to share it with
No one to talk to
He bows in reverence
The break of day
A lowly servant
A new creation
Nobody sees him
As he prays in secret
In his closet
Father, I’m so alone here
And though You’ll always be near
I want to go home
Home
(The saint must walk alone)
Alone in bed
He can’t shake the dreams of a woman
She didn’t love him as he supposed
He cries himself to sleep
(Sleep, my darling)
And in the days that follow
He makes a decision
To lay aside all bitterness
To still protect his sister
In praise the weight is lifted
Yet Father, I’m still alone here
And the pain won’t disappear
And I want to go home
I want to go home
Home
Say he’s over-serious
Say he’s too intense
Say he’s oversensitive
Zealous fundamentalist
Jealous for his Jesus
Soon he’s going to leave us behind
He’s caught up in his work
Where the last shall be first
And soon he’s going to go home
Home
Father, I’m so alone here
And the pain won’t disappear
And I want to go home
I want to go home
I want to go home
One day this lowly saint
Will see his Maker
He’ll hear a voice say,
“Well done, thou faithful servant
Enter into My rest
Rest your weary soul
And make yourself at home.”

A Long-Lost Son
04:19
|
|||
|
I’ve been a masochist
I’ve made so many mistakes
I’ve wasted my substance on riotous living
I have played a lot of games
Yet His forgiveness is pulsing through my veins
In whom I live and move and have my being
Father, I’ve been so dirty
You are so clean
Yet You have robed me with Your righteousness
Now I am redeemed
I need to be clothed with humility
Anxious for nothing
Don’t want to be wise in my own eyes
Must realize I’m like a newborn baby
Cause I was once so grown-up
Too much for my own good
To gain the world but lose my soul
I thank Christ for the cross and the blood
Father, I’ve been so dirty
You are so clean
And You have robed me with Your righteousness
Now I am redeemed
So welcome, My long-lost son
Climb up into your Daddy’s lap
Your days of wanderlust are done
He has killed for you the fatted calf
Hey everybody, you’re all invited
Hey everybody, you’re all welcome
Come as a little child
Ye who are weary and burdened
Cause He’s preparing a banquet feast
For His long-lost children
Come as a little child
Ye who are weary and burdened
Cause He’s prepared a banquet feast
For His long-lost children
He’s preparing a banquet feast
For His beloved children …

Laughing At Me
04:23
|
|||
|
I can hear them laughing at me
Laughing at me for what I believe
But I am not ashamed of my Jesus
They laughed at Him long before
They laughed at me
Soon the truth will be seen
So crystal clearly
And the enemies of the cross
Will be shown for who they are
And I can hear them laughing at me
Laughing at me for what I believe
But I am not ashamed of my Jesus
They laughed at Him long before
They laughed at me
Every secret thing shall soon
Be brought into light
Every lying tongue will be silenced
And everyone brought to account
And I can hear them laughing at me
Laughing at me for what I believe
But I am not ashamed of my Jesus
They laughed at Him long before
They laughed at me
Yet you, my friend, who say you believe
Why are you siding with the world?
We cannot serve two masters
We cannot sit on the fence
Trying not to offend
This ol’ world drowning in sorrow
A world going to hell
We cannot soft-sell the gospel, no …
But I can see you’re offended by me
Offended by me for what I have seen
But you are really offended by Jesus
And you hated Him long before you hated me
So I’m not going to take it
No, I’m not going to take it
No, I’m not going to take it personally
Personally ...

Golgotha
11:53
|
|||
|
The place of a skull
That infamous hill
Where time and eternity stood still
Outside the gate of the holy city
Where innocent blood was spilled
The Messiah was killed
Messiah
All the angels have drawn their swords
Surely this is the last straw
Yet they held their peace
And beheld their Lord
Heaven’s King of glory
Crucified on a Roman cross
The sky became black at midday
As all of creation mourns her Creator
The end of the road
Of a debated career
Even His Father, Him forsakes
In the midst of the crowd
Amid the railings and jeers
The devil retaliates
The Messiah he hates
Messiah
As the legions of hell wreak revenge
How can You take this lying down?
As the curse of all generations
You possess
And Your soul is poured out
A sacrifice for the sins of man
God is dead
So they said
He’s buried
In a sealed, guarded grave
He saved others
So let Him save Himself
From the pit, the pit of hell
The sting of death
He was cut off
From the land of the living
Where dead men tell no tales
He was betrayed, denied
Rejected, despised, God-forsaken
The gates of hell
It would seem, have prevailed
Can it He has failed?
No!
Meanwhile, deep in Hades
Where the devil and his angels celebrate
When suddenly
Deathly silence
As the stone heaved away
And the keys of death change hands
When on the third day
The Messiah rose again
He rose from the dead
He overcame death
Through His own death
O, let God arise
Forevermore alive
He holds the keys
To death and Hades
Glory
Glory to Thee
God of gods
Lord of lords
King of kings
He endured the cross
Despising the shame
For the joy that was set before Him
That we, dead in our sin
Would be born again
Through His death
And triumphant resurrection
Messiah paid our ransom
Messiah
Your creation, it groans and travails
For You to reconcile Israel
Where Golgotha’s hill
And the empty tomb
Stand to this day to testify
To the truth
To the truth ...

The Glory To Be Revealed
04:31
|
|||
|
Thank You, Jesus
For laying Your life down for me
Thank You, Jesus
For shedding Your precious blood
It washes me clean from all my sin
Cleanses me from all unrighteousness
You’re changing me from within
Now I’m a new creation
Thank You, Jesus
For dying in my place
Thank You, Jesus
For bearing all my shame
In disgrace, stark naked You hung
While I spit in Your face
When Satan and the power of darkness had their hour
My sin separated You from our Father
Thank You Jesus for dying for me
These present sufferings
Are not worthy to be compared
With the glory to be revealed
And thank You, Jesus
For raising from the dead
Thank You, Jesus
Now I’m born again
And there is now no condemnation
I’m putting my past behind me
Now from out of my innermost being
Flow rivers of living water
Thank You Jesus for dying for me
These present sufferings
Are not worthy to be compared
With the glory to be revealed
Thank You, Jesus
For giving me good health
You are jealous
But You are not selfish
You have commanded me
To love my brothers and sisters
Unconditionally
I must do to the least of these Your brethren
As unto You
Thank You Jesus for dying for me
These present sufferings
Are not worthy to be compared
With the glory to be revealed
Thank You Jesus for dying for me
Thank You Jesus for dying for me
Thank You Jesus for dying for me ...

Last Call
08:48
|

|
King of heaven
Benevolent dictator
Sovereign majesty
Ruler of all nature
How long, how long
Before You take us home?
Your voice resounds throughout the earth:
“Whosoever will, let them come.”
Last call
To drink of the water of life
Last call
Translated from darkness to light
Last call
To flee the wrath to come
To escape the coming flood
To negate the wages of sin, death and hell
Last call
To praise the Holy One
To embrace the dear Son
Whose shed blood paid up for us all
Last call
Last call
He’s breaking the chains that have held us back
Awakening our hearts and minds
To understand the times
The Lord does nothing unless He reveals
His secrets to His servants the prophets
False prophets, apostates, and heretics
All tickling itching ears with what they want to hear
But the Lord says, “Many will come in My name saying,
‘I am he,’ but beware of wolves in sheep’s clothing”
Oh, a warning is sounding
Yet there seems a lull
The Father is calling, “Last call”
Woe ye, who dwell upon the earth
The devil has gone down in raging anger
Hell-bent on pursuing
His doomed lost cause renewing
His hatred for Christ and the saints
A mortally wounded evil beast
The world is deceived by a ruthless enemy
Imposing his satanic agenda strategy
Incantations, abominations in Mystery Babylon
Sacrifices of human life incur the wrath of God
When the Son of Man returns
Will He find faith upon the earth?
So He’s praying for you, my friend
That your faith be strong
He’s waiting, you’re waiting
But don’t wait too long, no
Go ye into all your world
And make disciples from every nation
Creation travailing in birth pangs
The nations are raging
Against the King of kings
The Lord laughs from heaven
“I have already established my King in Zion”
His only-begotten Son
Like a thief in the night He’ll come
In fervent righteousness to judge
Each of us according to our deeds
And be not deceived
God is not mocked and we shall reap
What we have sown
Eternal life, joy, and peace
Or everlasting contempt and agony
He’s breaking the chains that have held us back
Awakening our hearts and minds
To understand the times
Surely the Lord does nothing unless He reveals
His secrets to His servants the prophets
The prophets of God singing
Last call
The Father is calling
Last call ...

Hey, where are you today?
Where will you go from here?
Two roads before you,
The end ever near
Babe, such a painful smile
There’s such a cry in your eyes
They give you away
You’re unhappy in your life
But baby, I’ll make you
A shelter from the storm
And baby, please take My hand
And I’ll lead you home
Take my hand and follow Me home
Come follow Me home
Child, such a sight to behold
Lost in the dark and the cold
You’re more precious than fine gold
And baby, I’ll make you
A shelter from the storm
And baby, please take My hand
And I’ll lead you home
Take My hand, I’ll lead you home
Take My hand, follow Me home
Come follow Me home
Follow Me home
You’re coming home
We’re going home …

Wayborne Suite

We’re all kind of crazy ‘round here
Some take it to extremes
When for every opposite
There’s one to counteract on it
There is a life that most folks
Don’t even want to see
Some sad people fall beyond it
Others swear upon it
The likes of you and me
And oh, aren’t you glad to be alive
Though we had to cross over
Either side in our time
Oh, who’s paying for you?
And underlying under this life
Is father time
Mother nature has long awaited
Sister saints and brothers jaded
Abused and confined
But oh, aren’t you glad to be alive
Do the tightrope walk you can make it
Or you can die
Look who’s playing for you
You want to know just why we’re here
Why we have to live and die
You want to know just why we’re we
You think to know
Sounds good, sounds good to me!
Yet there may come a time while you’re alive
And you don’t want to be
There are two ways you can play it
To give in ain’t easy when the going gets crazy
It’s up to you, not me
But oh, aren’t you glad to be alive
Don’t you want to survive?
Look who’s paying for you!

Reverse Ground
03:58
|

|
Torn between a sad life
And the real me
What a way to be
Like a figurine
Hope to sweat it out
Can’t hope – need results
Who to consult?
And here come the devil
Dug deep in darkness
So far away from home
Down the garden path
Into the danger zone
Oh no ...
Caught up in the phases
Of this fading age
Loaned to cruel fate
Born ten years too late
Lost behind the pages
Of a fairy tale
The ship rocks to and fro
Where did the magic go?
Now reverse ground has dug in deeper
Repelling magnetism in other people
Amid the wreckage of living dead
The Spirit is calling to you
The final test to find a Friend
Who can rescue you from ruin
In our search to find an open door
Takes but one key, undoes the bolt
To your heart
To your heart
Make your soul
Make your soul
Make your soul whole
And go help another poor soul …

Something Happening
07:39
|

|
Lord, there’s something
Happening inside me
Some growing hunger
That only You can satisfy
Some missing part
Deep in my heart
I just don’t know
Lord, there’s something
Awakening inside me
From some hibernation
Through the long winter’s night
Some secret desire
Kindles the fire
And I watch it grow
I watch it grow
But it was a long time ago
I decided
I’d never let my heart be broken again
It was a long time ago
That I took a stand
That I’d never let my head
Get messed up again
Never again
Never again
Lord, there’s something
Frightening inside me
Some distant thunder
Stirring up my mind
Please open my eyes
I’m so blind with pride
And I feel so alone
I’ve been so alone
This heart of glass
Needs to be shattered
And my spirit made contrite
For this hardened man
Has been hurt and he’s bleeding
He needs Your healing hand
Reach in his life
He needs You tonight
It is not good for the man to be alone
Lord there’s something
That I need to say to You
I don’t want anybody coming between us
But if there’s a friend
For me to befriend
Who You want me to know
I want You to know
That it was a long time ago
I decided
I’d never let my heart be broken again
It was a long, long time ago
Since I took a chance
That I’d ever give my heart away again
Never again
Never again
Lord, there’s something
Happening inside me
Lord, You’re doing
A new thing.

Jesus On My Mind
04:52
|
|||
|
The King left His throne and His crown
And made Himself of no reputation
He left His Father’s side
To go and take He’self a bride
Now the old story’s still the same
How He laid down His life
And took it up again
He put His love on the line
Now I got Jesus on my mind
Well He tread this earth
Searchin' for a faithful lover
Who’d take Him at His Word
That He was who He claimed to be
And He performed miraculous signs
He loosed the bonds of the slave
He opened the eyes of the blind
Just like He did for me last night
And now I got Jesus on my mind
I can’t take religion
But I desire to be loved
And anyone
Who says He loves me that much
Deserves looking into
Is worth checking out
Check it out
I can’t take religion
But I desire to be loved
And anyone
Who shows He loves us that much
Deserves looking into
Is worth checking out
Check you out
Now you may laugh at His name
But your ignorance, it betrays you
And He still loves you so
For you know not what you do
Cause if you knew Him like I know Him
And to know Him is to love Him
He’d be the Lord of your life
The one and only Jesus
Jesus Christ
Love of my life
I got Jesus
Jesus on my mind.

My Lord
Help me find a song
To express what my heart longs to say
I want to bless You
And my God
I have so much to say
Sometimes my words get in the way
And my prayers seem so lame
Yet You love me just the same
And my name is written
In Your Book of Life
You are mine and I am Thine
My heart, my soul, my strength, my mind
My Lord
Your joy is my strength
And I stand humbled and amazed
You’re not ashamed to call me brother
And my God
Great is Thy faithfulness
That carries me above the stress
Through every test
Into Your rest
You have removed all my transgressions
And You abundantly pardon
You save my soul from hell
You deliver me from death
I love You so
My best friend
My Lord
I’m eager and unsure
Exactly what You have in store
Yet I’m assured:
You’re in control
And my God
So many family and friends
Who don't know You just as yet
Long to usher them into Your wedding feast
You still use me in my weakness
You created me in Your image
You fill me with Your Spirit
Your love is drawing me nearer
Into the likeness of my Lord
My Lord
The hour’s getting late
Soon be passing through them gates into heaven
I’ll see Your face
And my God
I’ll see You as you are
I will look upon Your scars
The only man-made things in heaven
Oh, my Lord and my God
My Lord and my God
My Lord and my God
Blessed is he who has not seen and yet believes
My Lord and my God …

Used a traitor’s kiss
Paid for a price
In Turkish Delight
To condemn to death
Never to comprehend
The Deeper Magic
Yes, yes
Aslan, Aslan is on the move
Aslan, Aslan is on the move
Then she
The pretended queen
Revenged the King
On the cold Stone Table
To despair and die
Failed to realize
The Deeper Magic
The Deeper Magic
The Deeper Magic ...
Yes
Aslan, Aslan is on the move
Aslan, Aslan is on the move
Aslan, Aslan is on the move …

This side of the Jordan
My heart is becalmed
It’s the best of times
Even in the worst of times
This side of the Jordan
The tribes are in mourning
The pain keeps on gaining
And shows no sign of waning
On this side of the Jordan
A little cloud is formin’
The size of a man’s hand
Few will see it, but some can
It’s a harbinger of things unseen
Portending what soon shall be
On this side of the Jordan
This side of the Jordan
The Ruse is finally over
The Truth so blinding
Reveals all disguises
On this side of the Jordan
The guy behind the curtain
Pride has paralyzed him
Though it weren’t for want of tryin’
If he could just surrender, humble his head
But he won’t: so it’s scorched earth for us instead
On this side
This side of His Passion
The darkness is passing
The True Light now shining
The long night in decline
On this side of the Jordan
This ancient war endures
This battlefield we’re all plunged in
Not one of us who ain’t been singed
On this side of the Jordan
Despite all appearing
Lift your heads, the Day is nearing
For the justice, we are yearning
While the wise keep on learning
Their lamps trimmed and burning
So come eat, come drink at the Table of the King
Come laugh, come cry, come rant, come sing
On this side of the Jordan
“It’s enough, O Lord, just take my life
I’m on my own, there’s nothing left.”
But the Lord said, “You are not alone
I am with everywhere you are
I’ll not abandon you, dear one
Just fix your eyes on Me
My friend, My child
This side of the Jordan.”

Rode the grey dog to the left coast
Seventy hours on a desperate coach
To bury me old man, slay the ghost
Of a native homeland vagabond
Feeling that cold familiar dread
Heeding that voice that still presents
To speak for me again, pretend
Derelict vagabond
I lurk in the shadow
The murky grey matter
So I say, why bother?
It’ll only get harder
Watching my years go to waste
Wishing this fear would just go away
Awash in existential angst
Dangerously indifferent
Two mad hounds fight to the death
Whoever gets fed'll never relent
Whatever gets made'll ever be spent
Eccentric vagabond
So love one another
Be good to your mother
Remember your father
Forget all the drama
Be kind to your brothers
Sister and the others
For to be a man-pleaser
Always neater and cleaner
I lurk in the shadow
The murky grey matter
So again I say, why bother?
It’ll only get harder
Better make your mind up, sister
Better make your mind up, boy
Better make your mind up, mister
You're the double-minded man
Better make your mind up, sister
Better make your mind up, boy
Better make your mind up, mister
You're the double-minded man
The double-minded man
Is unstable in all his ways
He folds up like a cheap suit
At the first sign of adversity
Adversity
Better make your mind up, sister
Better make your mind up, boy
Better make your mind up, mister
You're the double-minded man
Better make your mind up, sister
You were never meant to be a wind-up toy
Better make your mind up, mister
You're the double-minded man
The double-minded man
Is unstable in all his ways
He folds up like a cheap suit
At the first sign of adversity
Adversity
The double-minded man
Is unstable in all his ways
He folds up like a cheap suit
At the first sign of adversity
Adversity
Adversity
Adversity
Repent, oh man
So lackadaisical
The ship has run aground
So little traction to turn this thing around
Repent, oh man
Self-loathing leave behind
The joy of being wrong
Rediscover the right
Ebenezer Scrooge’s visitation in the night
Repent, oh man
The Lord is closing in
Purify your heart, double-minded soul
Humble thyself, He shall lift you up
Repent, my friend
My friend …

Goodbye Maryjane
It’s been too long
So long Maryjane
For this our swan song
Goodbye Maryjane
The enchantment is gone
High time Maryjane
To recant of my wrong
You burned through me
You burned through me
Good night Maryjane
Finally over now
Farewell Maryjane
These broken vows
And the workarounds
Always with the drama
Always with the drama
You take but never give
Always with the drama
Always with the drama
A fake yet clever script
You burned through me
You burned through me
You burned me down and out
But now the jig is up
The chaff is burned
A new leaf has turned ...

He was the man who couldn’t let it go
He was the man who couldn’t let it go
Too hard done by too much
To just forgive and forget
He was the man who could not let it go
He was the man who couldn’t let it go
He took the time to let the people know
About how bad he’d had it
Beyond the pale of saving grace
He was the man who couldn’t let it go
This man had a root of bitterness
Eating him inside
It had defiled so many
It had buried him alive
Same old tapes played
Over and over and over and over
In his darkened mind
And age, that cruel sage
Just keeps marking time
He was the man who couldn’t let it go
He was the man who could not let it go
So sad how bad he’d had it
Beyond the pale of the finished work
He was the man who couldn’t
He was the man who wouldn’t
He was the man who could not let it go …

Another day in the Grey Town
In the twilight rains
Impending Götterdämmerung
At the end of days
Wandering these mean streets
Nightfall is suspending
Retreat from this unhappy scene
Ride on to the higher plane
Another day
Another day
Another day slips into eternity
Webbed into our telescreens
For the Two Minutes Hate
Celebrity is the currency
As all the nations rage
Another day
Another day
Another day slips into eternity
Eternity
Dawn ready to break
Eternity
Songs aplenty to sing
If I could remember their singing
And write down the notes
No one who read that score
Would ever grow sick or old
Meantime back in the Grey Town
With all its ego trips
Pride and self-importance
Malice and pettiness
I awoke in a cold room
Hunched on the floor
Beside a black and empty grate
The clock striking three
And the siren howling overhead
Another day
Another day
Another day slips into eternity
Another soul ...

I Asked the Lord
03:28
|
|||
|
I asked the Lord that I might grow
In faith, and love, and every grace
Might more of His salvation know
And seek more earnestly His face
‘Twas He who taught me thus to pray
And He, I trust, has answered prayer
But it has been in such a way
As almost drove me to despair
I hoped that in some favoured hour
At once He’d answer my request
And by His love’s constraining power
Subdue my sins and give me rest
Instead of this, He made me feel
The hidden evils of my heart
And let the angry powers of hell
Assault my soul in every part
Yea, more with His own hand He seemed
Intent to aggravate my woe
Crossed all the fair designs I schemed
Blasted my gourds, and laid me low
“Lord, why is this?” I trembling cried
“Wilt Thou pursue Thy worm to death?”
“’Tis in this way,” the Lord replied
“I answer prayer for grace and faith
“These inward trials I employ
From self and pride to set thee free
And break thy schemes of earthly joy
That thou mayest seek thy all in Me.”
I asked the Lord that I might grow
In faith, and love, and every grace
Might more of His salvation know
And seek more earnestly His face ...

To love is to suffer
To love is to suffer
To love is to suffer
Welcome to My world
To love is to suffer
To love is to suffer
To love is to suffer
Welcome to My world
To love is to suffer
To love is to suffer
To love is to suffer ...

Lord of the Harvest
07:52
|
|||
|
Oh, man greatly beloved
Understand the word that I speak unto you
And stand upright, stand upright
Fear not, My dearly beloved
From the day you set your heart
To seek the kingdom first
All your prayers were heard
All your prayers are heard
Oh, my Lord
I stand before You
And my sorrows are turned upon me
I have no strength
I’m at Your mercy
Let my Lord speak
Let my Lord speak
I am the Lord of the Harvest
The seed I’ve given you to sow
Sow abundantly
Reap in mercy
Reap abundantly
The harvest truly is plenteous
But the labourers are few
Pray the Lord of the Harvest
Will send forth you
For though many are called
Those chosen are few
Those chosen are few
Woe is me! I am ruined
For mine eyes have seen the King
Then He said, whom shall I send?
Who will go for Me?
Who will go for Me?
Here am I, send me
Here am I, send me
Count the cost
Deny yourself
Take up your cross daily
And follow Me
It’s total war
There’s no retreat
There’s an open door
But faith is the key
Faith is the key
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for
The evidence of things not seen
By faith you will overcome the wicked world
And claim My victory
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for
The evidence of things not seen
By faith you will be more than a conqueror
Proclaim My victory
Have no fear
I am with you
Who sow in tears
In joy you shall reap
It won’t return unto Me void
It will accomplish that which I please
It will accomplish that which I please
For I Am that I Am
I Am that I Am
I Am that I Am
I Am that I Am
I am the Lord of the Harvest
The Word I give to you to sow
Sow abundantly
Reap in mercy
Reap abundantly
I am the Lord of the Harvest
The seed I’ve given you to sow
Sow abundantly
Reap in mercy
Reap abundantly …!

Proverbs
04:48
|

|
Whoever guards his mouth and tongue
Keeps his soul from troubles
Let my words be few
And let them not fall not to the ground
As a man of unclean lips
Living in an unclean realm
Whoever guards his mouth and tongue
Keeps his soul from troubles
In the multitude of words is sin not lacking
But he who restrains his words is wise
And wrath is turned away by a soft answer
Whoever guards his mouth and tongue
Keeps his soul from troubles
Even a fool, when he keeps silent
Is considered wise
He who has knowledge spares his words
A soothing word is a tree of life
Whoever guards his mouth and tongue
Keeps his soul from troubles
Keep your heart with all diligence
From it flow the springs of life
Death and life are in the power of the tongue
But the tongue of the wise brings healing
Brings healing
Whoever guards his mouth and tongue
Keeps his soul from troubles
Rejoice not over me
O my enemy
Though I fall I will rise
Though I dwell in darkness
The Lord is my light
He is my light
Whoever guards his mouth and tongue
Keeps his soul from troubles
Troubles
Trouble ...

He has nothing on Me
He got nothing for Me

The Door
03:09
|

|
An open door
Is what we seek
You shut the door
That's not meant to be
One open door
Is all we need
You shut the door
That's not meant to be
Lord, Lord
You alone shut the door
And open the door
You alone hold the key
To open the prison doors
And set us free
Lord, Lord
You alone shut the door
And open the door
You, O Lord, are the Door
You alone are my Abba
And I, Your son
Lord, Lord, Lord
You alone, You alone
You alone shut the door
Shut the door
And open the door
The Door
The Door.

The cool of the day
Creation
Elation awakening
To celebrate the Maker’s way
From out of the dust and clay
Creator
Fashions me
Breathes life in me
Enlightens me
Inviting me
In the cool of the day
Unadorned and unashamed
Cool
In the garden
So welcoming
He walks with me
My dearest friend talks to me
Who loves me
In naked transparency
Adam, Adam, where are you?
Cast into deepest sleep
Awakened
He brings to me my Chavah dear
My blessed Eve
Explore among the trees
For beauty and bliss
To give one pause
New fruit to eat
To satisfy
To let one see
To make one wise
In the cool of the day
Unadorned and unashamed
In the cool of the day
Unhidden, unenslaved
Cool
Adam, Adam, where are you?
Abba ...

Thank Me Later
03:59
|

|
Take it slow
And wherever you go
Make some time to smell that rose
And do not worry
Take it slow
Though paradoxical
Be diligent and also
Do not be in a hurry
You'll thank Me later
Unbusy Mary of Bethany
Seated at Jesus’ feet
Listening to His Word
Martha, dear
So stressed-out, so full of care
Yet only one thing is needed
And she has chosen what is better
Sister’s chosen what is better
Take it slow
And whatever you do
Do not be hasty
Stay unbusy
And thank Me later
Thank Me later
So she heard what He was going to do
Whilst the others did argue
Over who should be the greatest
Sit closer at His table
She scrimped and saved
Finally purchased that vase
Of precious fragrance
Then poured it on His feet
Poured it out on Jesus’ feet
Take it slow
And wherever you go
Make the time to smell the rose
And thank Me later
Thank Me later
Say, what a waste
The poor could’ve used that years’ wage
We sure should’ve put it to greater purpose
Could’ve made it pay
Let her be for it was meant to be
That she should save this perfume
For My burial day
For My burial day
Take it slow
And whatever you do
Do not be hasty
Stay unbusy
And thank Me later
Take it slow
The poor you'll always have with you
So make the time to smell the roses
And thank Me later
Thank Me later
You’ll thank Me later.
