Tree of Life
05:15
|
|||
|
The good Lord bore the whole world upon His back
And took up His cross up that hill
Where He lay hold the cup of the Father’s wrath
And drained the contents without spill
Please, come meet thy God
Let His peace rule in your hearts
You know the grace of our Lord that though he was rich
Yet for our sake’s He became poor
That we through His poverty might be rich
That for His name’s sake there shall be one fold
Please, come meet my God
Let His peace rule in your hard hearts
As many were astounded at Thee
His visage was so marred, more than any man
Yet He thought it not robbery to be equal with God
He shed the blood of God
He shed the blood of God on the tree of life
“Please remember me, my Lord,” and He replied
“This day you shall be with Me in paradise.”
And having made peace through the blood of His tree
The truth shall make you free, and ye shall be free indeed
Please, come meet my God
Let His peace rule in your hard hearts
On the tree of life
Where my hope begins
Because He lives
He lives.

King of the Universe
08:05
|
|||
|
King of the universe
Lord of heaven and earth
Creator of the cosmos
Saviour of the world
King of the universe.
The heavens declare Your glory
And the firmament showeth Your handiwork
The Master’s hand of the genius
Still to unveil His masterpiece
King of the universe.
He’s the image of the invisible God
The firstborn over all creation
By Him, and through Him
And for Him were all things created
He is the head of the body
And the firstborn from among the dead
That in all things He may have preeminence
King of the universe.
Reign, reign, reign over me
King of the universe.
In the beginning was the Word
And the Word was with God
And the Word was God
In Him was life
And the life was the light of men
The light shines in the darkness
The darkness can’t comprehend
King of the universe.
Lifted up high
Crucified as a criminal
Abandoned by His friends
Surrounded by His enemies
He suffered for our sin
Yet did not plead His innocence
But we say, “If You are who You say You are
"Come down so we may believe
"Come down so we may believe
King of the Jews.”
Reign, reign, reign over me
Reign, reign, reign over me
King of the universe.
King of the universe
Lord of heaven and earth
Creator of the cosmos
Saviour of the world.

Give Me Your Heart
03:21
|
|||
|
Give me Your heart, I will give You mine
(Give me Your heart, I will give You mine)
Give me Your heart, I will give You mine
(Give me Your heart, I will give You mine)
I need You now more than ever
I need You now more than ever
I need You now more than ever
O my Lord …

Psalm 42 (O, My Soul)
05:46
|
|||
|
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.

Your Tender Mercy
03:49
|
|||
|
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.

Run Away
05:06
|
|||
|
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 …

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 ...

Blessed
05:05
|
|||
|
Blessed are the poor in spirit
For theirs is the kingdom of heaven
And blessed are they who mourn
For they shall be comforted
You are the salt of the earth
Full of grace, don’t lose the savour
You are the light of the world
A city set on a hill that cannot be hidden
You cannot be hidden
And blessed are the pure in heart
For they shall see God
And blessed are ye who are persecuted
For righteousness’ sake
Rejoice and be glad
For great is your reward in heaven
Let your light so shine before men
That they may see your works and glorify God
Your Father in heaven
Who lights a lamp to hide under a bushel?
Set it on a stand
To shine forth upon this cold, dark land
This land
Blessed are the merciful
For they shall obtain mercy
And blessed are you who do hunger and thirst after righteousness
You
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord
You
Hallelujah
Do you know who you are?
Do you know who you are?
Do you know who you are?
You’re a child of the King
You’re a child of the King
You’re a child of the King
We are children of the King of kings.

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 …

No Greater Love
04:08
|
|||
|
I love you more than words can tell
And I have died for men going through hell
Going to hell
Greater love hath no man than this
That a man lay down his life for his friends
And you are My friend
For now and forever, amen.
I’m by your side through hellfire, and sorrow, and pain
And I hear your every cry, overtures of hearts broken
Such is shame
But don’t be ashamed
Greater am I who is in you than he that is in this world
And lo, I am with you always
Even to the end of the world
Even to the end of the world
Even to the end of the world
The end of the world.
I love you and if only you loved Me true
We could share in the joy, in the peace of My prayer
You’re My prayer
Greater love hath no man than this
That a man lay down his life for his friends
Friends
Friends
And you are My friend
For now and forever
Now and forever
Now and forever
Amen.

about
2003 seanosongs
Remastered May-June 2020, The Cave, Vancouver, BC
Cover art: "Lazare," Jean-Paul Lemieux (Canadian) 1941
"Tree of Life" was recorded in Kitchener and Toronto over a three-month span in the summer of 2002. It showcases the anointed musicality of friends Dan, Matthew, Brian and Linda. We were a band of sorts for a season!
The back story to most of these songs relates to a period of intense spiritual struggle in the mid-late 1980s as a young disciple of Jesus, at the tail-end of an era that is historically remembered as The Jesus Movement. (The death of Keith Green in 1982 demarcates its transition from ministry-minded musicians serving the flock to contemporary Christian music as a lucrative and burgeoning enterprise.)
I like to believe that this album carries some of the authenticity of an era when Jesus determined to take up with some pretty shattered souls, misfits and outcasts, to befriend and heal them, to lead them to the tree whose leaves are for the healing of the nations, that ancient tree we shall now at last eat of, and the tree upon which whoever hangs is accursed, all enjoined at the paradoxically hideous and glorious cross of Golgotha, the tree of life.
