Mighty Good Leader

Flooded by an ocean
Of some mixed emotions
They got you down again
Pride and passion Physical attraction
Whatever thing you're in
These temptations Causing you frustrations
What you need is a friend
Someone who loves you Who is above you
Take away all your sin

Help is on the way
Help is on the way
A mighty good leader is on the way
He's the only one gonna come to save the day
It's all right, yeah, uh-huh, it's OK
'Cause a mighty good leader is on the way

Now this someone
Knows where you come from
Doesn't care where you've been
He can put back, pieces that you lack
Make you whole again

Get Down

Lavishly our lives are wasted
Humbleness is left untasted
You can't live your life to please yourself, yeah
That's a tip from my mistakes
Exactly what it doesn't take
To win you've got to come in last place
To live your life you've got to lose it
And all the losers get a crown

I get down and He lifts me up
I get down and He lifts me up
I get down and He lifts me up
I get down

All I need's another day
Where I can't seem to get away
From the many things that drag me down, yeah
I'm sure you've had a day like me
Where nothing seems to set you free
From the burdens you can't carry all alone
In your weakness He is stronger
In Your darkness He shines through
When you're crying He's your comfort
When your all alone, He's carrying you

I get down and He lifts me up
I get down and He lifts me up
I get down and He lifts me up
I get down
This valley is so deep
I can barely see the sun
I cry out for mercy, Lord
You lift me up again

Good Life

I've watched my dreams all fade away
And blister in the sun
Everything I've ever had is unraveled and undone
I've set upon a worthless stack
Of my ambitious plans
And the people that I've loved the most
Have turned their backs and ran

This is the good life
I've lost everything
I could ever want
And ever dream of
This is the good life
I found everything
I could ever need
Here in Your arms

Loneliness has left me searching
For someone to love
Poverty has changed my view
Of what true riches are
Sorrow's opened up my eyes
To see what real joy is
Pain has been the catalyst
To my heart's happiness

This is the good life
I've lost everything
I could ever want
And ever dream of
This is the good life
I found everything
I could ever need
Here in Your arms

What good would it be
If you had everything
But you wouldn't have
The only thing you need

This is the good life
I've lost everything
I could ever want
And ever dream of
This is the good life
I found everything
I could ever need
Here in Your arms

Let My Love Open The Door

When people keep repeating
That you'll never fall in love
When everybody keeps retreating
But you can't seem to get enough

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart

When everything feels all over
When everybody seems unkind
I'll give you a four leaf clover
Take all the worry out of your mind

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart

I have the only key to your heart
I can stop you falling apart
Try today, you'll find this way
Come one and give me a chance to say
Let my love open the door
It's all I'm living for
Release yourself from misery
Only thing's gonna set you free
That's my love

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door
To your heart

When tragedy befalls you
Don't let them bring you down
Love can cure your problems
You're so lucky I'm around

Let my love open the door
Let my love open the door

Jesus Movement

Have you ever been so inclined
Yeah, is it on your mind
The thought we're the Lord's lone protege
Well I thought we were the only hope
Yeah, the world's safety rope
Americana has come, come to save the day
Imagine my surprise
To realize

Everywhere I go I can see
I'm not the only one
Moving moving to Jesus

I went down to Mexico
Mi amigo
And I found Jesus living outside the USA
Imagine my surprise To realize

Everywhere I go I can see
I'm not the only one
Moving moving to Jesus

This Day

It's six A.M
I'm so tired
The alarm sounds
And the new day begins
Before I go
And disturb this peaceful moment
I look to You

I want to say a prayer
Before my feet can hit the ground
Lord I give this day to You

I'm amazed how You forgive me
Yesterday seems so far behind
It's a brand new day
And every day's a new beginning
I look to You

I want to say a prayer
Before my feet can hit the ground
Lord I give this day to You

Breathe in
Breathe out
Breathe in
And watch the day begin
I wanna watch the day begin

I want to say a prayer
Before my feet can hit the ground
Lord I give this day to You

Bag Lady

Flea bitten bag lady
once you looked fine
you had a family you loved
just like mine
Second hand clothing
and knots in your hair
Tonight you might die
but would anyone care
Sweet little lady you soul is worth gold
don't believe all the lies you've been told
I've got a friend a friend indeed
who comes to the rescue of damsels in need

Friend and Father repair their souls
make them feel wanted
make them feel whole
Friend and Father repair their souls
make them feel wanted
make them feel whole

Young daddy's daughter with child on the way
made a mistake but that's okay
life is the most precious gift of them all
Just cry on my shoulder and I'll give a call

I Hear Jesus Calling

I see what eyes cannot see
and ears cannot hear
and brains cannot perceive
I see a spirit over me
that guides protects and keeps me
from some wrecks

I hear Jesus calling
I hear Jesus calling
I hear Jesus calling

I hear words that were said
over two thousand years ago
I hear the spirit when he's near
reminds me who I belong to

I hear Jesus calling
I hear Jesus calling
I hear Jesus calling

Softly and tenderly my Jesus is calling
calling for you and for me
I hear Jesus calling

Memoir

There is music and laughter lately
and there's prayers and praise there
are reasons to be so happy and beliefs to embrace
there are times to be so angry I'd rather lie in the sun
It's the summer of my lifetime
I've been blessed with some fun

I'm a season past springtime
and my life has gone boom
keep my eyes on the Father
everything is in bloom

Everything will just get better
through the seasons I'll roam
when all of the music's over
I will get to go home

I don't need theology
to know that God's been good to me
He's given me a family
and a place to lay my head
Flung into the great unknown
I was walking on my own
now I'll never walk alone
if I did I would be dead
I can't use it all myself
so I take it off the shelf here it is,
enjoy yourself put away your drudgery,
use it up,
there's always more
that's what it's intended for
be the Lord's ambassador
to be the planets remedy

It Is Well With My Soul

When peace like a river attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot Thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well with my soul

It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul
My sin O the joy of this glorious thought
My sin not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross and
I bear it no more paraise the Lord, praise the Lord,
O my soul
And Lord haste the day
When my faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound and
The Lord shall descend
Even so it is well with my soul

It's Over

Farewell, so long to you
We've come to the end of the night
It's all been wonderful
A lovely and wonderful time

Say goodnight to
All the friends who
Rocked and rolled beside you

We hope you've enjoyed the show
It's over
It's over
It's all over now

This room will be empty soon
When the music and laughter is gone
This night will be forgot
But the joy you've found can go on

Say goodnight to
All the friends who
Rocked and rolled beside you

We hope you've enjoyed the show
It's over
It's over
It's all over now
The lights come down, don't lose your glow
When it's over
It's over
It's all over now

Is it all over?
Or has it just begun?


The Houseplant Song

Once I read a book
And this is what it said
If your music has a beat
Then you're gonna wind up dead
It doesn't really matter if it's Christian or not
If it's syncopated rhythm then your soul is gonna rot
And this book was called "Ha! Your Gonna Burn"
And in the second chapter I went on to learn

Take two houseplants
And put them to the test
Set them both in front of speakers
And let the music do the rest
The first one you play Mozart
Or something lovely like that
The second one you play that Petra Or that MegaDeth.
Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is.

So I took my two houseplants
And I put them to the test
Set them both in front of speakers
To let the music do the rest
I powered up my Pioneers
To let the music roar
But twenty minutes later
Someone's knocking at my door
I opened up my door
And there my neighbor stood
He said, "Man I'd like to get some sleep
If you think I could"
I said, "Man, can't you see here
I've got this moral dilemma that I got to get clear."
He said, " What kind of moral dilemma
Could you have at this time of night
That could make me so angry
That I just want to fight!?"
So I pointed to the page in that open book
That had a picture of a potted plant
And I said, "Go have a look."
And he read

Take two houseplants
And put them to the test
Set them both in front of speakers
And let the music do the rest
The first one you play Mozart
Or something lovely like that
The second one you play that Petra Or that MegaDeth.
Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is.

First of all he said,
"That's Wagner that you're playing
I've never heard of Petra
And isn't MegaDeth all dead."
And secondly, emphatically, He asked me,
"What's the sense of hanging out with houseplants
when, hey,
I live right across the fence."
And I thought to myself
You know, that's a good point
So I took my two houseplants, and
I put them both back outside
And me and my neighbor
Well, we went out for a drive
We talked about all the things
That really matter most
Like life and love and happiness
And then the Holy Ghost
And now my two houseplants
They sit out in the sun
As for me and my neighbor
Well our friendship has become
A meaningful relationship
That's headed straight to heaven
But as for now
We like to sit around and listen to Audio Adrenaline
Cranked to eleven!

Chevette

Twenty years ago I watched in awe
as my dad drove up the driveway.
More than proud to have a brand
new family car.
Thirty miles to the gallon, 0 to 60,
sometimes.
I remember putting down the back
seat and lying in the hatchback.
Looking at the sky watching
trees go by.
I was the son of a preacher, and
he was a rich poor man.

No A.C.
No FM,
And no regrets,
in my Chevette.

The winter cracked the highway and
we tried to dodge the potholes.
He never promised us it would be a
gentle ride.
He never had a problem though,
keeping it on the narrow road.

New Body

Never been accused, or been confused
with a model on a cover page.
Never could've been a superstar in
the NBA.
Can't run that fast, never could
breakdance, can't jump a building in
a single bound.
Anticipate, can't wait till I hear that
sound.

The sky splits, I'm moving, I let it
freely take me.
This must be the moment, God picked
to rearrange me.

You and I, want a new body.
You and I, want to fly.

Crutches left upon the ground,
bodyparts lost are found, everybody
gets to walk today.
No more tears and we will feel no
pain.

The sky splits, I'm
moving. I let it freely take me
this must be the moment,
God picked to rearrange me.

You and I, want a new body
You and I, want to fly
You and I, can get a new body
You and I, will never, never die

Never gonna die
I'm gonna fly
Never gonna die
I'm gonna fly

You and I, want a new body
You and I, are gonna fly
You and I, can get a new body
You and I will never, never die

The sky splits, I'm moving
I let it freely take me
this must be the moment
God chose to rearrange me

Some Kind of Zombie

I must have been confused or vain
to let this evil in my brain.
Lord did I enjoy the change
that you made inside my heart?
Oh here they come
I'm not afraid
there's no temptation I can't evade.
Stand up straight
look through the haze
I begin to walk through the maze
here they come
they're all up on me
but I'm dead to sin like
some kind of zombie.
I hear you speak and I obey
some kind of zombie
I walked away from the grave
some kind of zombie
I will never be afraid
some kind of zombie
I gave my life away.
I'm obliged and obey
I'm enslaved to what you say.

Original Species

Now my heart and mind agree
a super natural selected me
I see a plan so grandiose
my very own Galapagos
God laid down and he began to trace
an image that he could embrace
then He smiled down on His plan
and from the dust He made a man

I'm an original species
more enlightened than Nietzshe
I'm sure you'd like to meet me
I am loved
by the maker who's so clever
I was made to live forever
though my body turns to sand
my soul is in His hands

A breakthrough theory of origin
a simple truth that's always been
fingerprints have been left behind
that point us to a master mind
Stars in the sky
there to please my eye
the cosmos in His command
but He has time to hold my hand

People Like Me

I could tell you a story of shame
I could talk for hours on how we became
a flower that bloomed in one day.
The next day our glory faded away.
Divided by hostilities,
hung up on issues, we disagree.
A body that's been torn apart.
We're still a body with a healthy heart.

People like me, persons like you.
We want to be, closer to God.
Closer to free.
All you people like me.

What do you think when you see
continuous losers the people like me?
I hope you never believe
just for a moment you're better than me.
The truth is that we are the same.
All different people but only one name.
I hope that you will agree
that all of you are people like me.

I can't stand by myself anymore.
I forgot what we're fighting for.
Please come take my hand
we can make our stand
feels so good to be,
be so free.

Blitz

14 kids in an old church van.
With a light in their eyes
and some tracts in their hands.
60 MPH seems way too slow
when you got the Chevy pointed
down to Mexico.

We all want to run
the race to win.
Never giving up or giving in.
Coming at you like a blitz.

They've had three flats
and their radiators leaking.
Ain't nothing gonna keep'em
from the prize that they're seeking.
They're riding all together
and it's in God's hand.

Ain't nothing gonna keep'em
from the prize that they're seeking.

They don't get around like ordinary fans.
14 kids in an old church van.

Lighthouse

Bouncing like a buoy
drifting on the water
Singletary solitute man begins to holler
he says "man overboard"
I jump ship on the trip
it was a worldwide cruise
trading riches for some fishes
I've got nothing more to lose
I'm a man overboard
I'm a man overboard

If it wasn't for the lighthouse
where would my life be?
On a trip bound for nowhere
on a unforgiving sea
I thank God for the light

Legs and arms are burning
I swim against the tide
keep an eye above the water
so I can see the light
I'm a man overboard
I dream about the saviour
I dream about the shore
I feel the sand
You take my hand
and we will walk forevermore
I'm a man overboard
I'm a man overboard

If it wasn't for the lighthouse
where would my life be?
On a ship bound for nowhere
on an unforgiving sea
I thank God
If it wasn't for the lighthouse
where would my life be?
On a ship bound for nowhere
on an unforgiving sea
I thank God for the lighthouse
I thank God for the light
 

Underdog

I am so weak and I'm so tired
It's hard for me to
Find enough strength to feed the fires
That fuel my ego
And consequently all my pride has all but died
Which leaves me
Down on my knees
Back to the place I
Should have started from

Been beat up
Been broken down
Nowhere but up
When you're facedown
On the ground
I'm in last place
If I place at all
But there's hope for this underdog!
That's the way, uh-huh, we like it!
That's the way, uh-huh, we like it!
You can call me the underdog

I'm in this race to win a prize
The odds against me
The world has plans for my demise
What they don't see
Is that a winner is not judged by his small size
But by the substitute he picks to run the race
And mine's already won

Been beat up
Been broken down
Nowhere but up
When you're facedown
On the ground
I'm in last place
If I place at all
But there's hope for this underdog!
That's the way, uh-huh, we like it!
That's the way, uh-huh, we like it!
You can call me the underdog

Flicker

Have I become, a target that some people
can't resist?
My flaws have become a greater risk
If my name is a synonym to love and
happiness then why am I bombarded
with distress?
My old friends, haven't seen them since I
don't know when
But I can send them a signed 8 by 10
My sweetheart, she understands why I'm away
but still it gets harder every day

But it's my delight, to sing all night
till the sun comes up again

After all my cross isn't hard to bear
it is heavy, I am weak, but you are there
There are times when I am down and
feel undone
You pursue me like I am your only son
My old flaws you've overlooked and put to rest
They're farther than the East is from the West

But it's my delight, to sing all night
till the sun comes up again
Yes it's my delight, to share a flicker
of your light
Just a ray of hope to a friend

I've spent about 24 hours in a flying J
truck stop
I haven't had a shower and 'bout to drop
It really doesn't matter if we make it all up

God-Shaped Hole

All around the world people are trying.
Deserted souls cry to be filled.
Spirits left undone their hearts are hollow.
I can see, in their eyes, hollow lives.

And every heart, and every soul
and everybody's got a God-shaped hole.

You may have tried to fill that hole inside
with an empty hand you reached in vain.
Substitutes don't work, bandages only hurt.
The only thing that heals is the hand of God.

Nobody's meant to be left all alone.
Our lives are much too short
to have an empty soul.

Superfriend

You're like a lonely statue
the wind and rain comes at you
You'll stand and take your chances
against the world's advances
you rely on a flimsy virtue
no man can stand alone

Does it offend you
that I got a friend who
knows what you've been through
and says that he loves you?

I want to sing his name
of how he became
Jesus the friend of mine

How long will you be posin'
How long can you stay frozen
You'll crumble from the inside
Your pride will be your demise
Won't you let someone help you
Everybody needs a friend

Secret

I once was lost in a foaming, roaming, rabid sea
then blooms blossomed, changed my outlook
now I've been set free
I once was sinking in a quarry of quicksand
somebody noticed and they offered me a hand

I want to tell it, I want to say it, I want to show it,
want you to know it

I've got a secret
and I cannot keep it
I've got a secret
and I cannot keep it

There is a God and He's alive and He treats me well
that is the secret Mrs. Mademoiselle

I want to tell it, I want to say it, I want to show it,
I want you to know it

I've got a secret to the universe
Until you hear it you can't know what it's worth


Never Gonna Be As Big As Jesus

I could move to Hollywood
get my teeth capped I know I could
be a big star on the silver screen
just like James Dean I could be a star
I could climb the corporate ladder
buy, sell, and liquidate
Maybe be just like the Beatles
melodic, rocking heavyweights
I could learn to sing and dance
if I only had a chance
I could be a big rock star

I could be anything I wanted to
I wanted to
I could be anything but one thing's true

Never gonna be as big as Jesus
never gonna hold the world in my hand
never gonna be as big as Jesus
never gonna build a promised land
but that's alright with me

I could build a tower to heaven
get on top and touch the sky
I could write a million songs
all designed to glorify
I could be about as good
good as any human could
but that won't get me by

Good People

I grew up impressed by the people I knew
in the buckle of the bible belt
hopped in the van with the band
now I've been just about everywhere else
Met a soldier from Seattle and a lawyer from the East
a texas oil baron and a Roman Catholic priest

Every day I choose
to walk in their shoes
'cause pretty are the feet of those
who bring the good news

Good people
good, good people
everywhere, everywhere it's God's people

Been on the road been far from home
but I found me a friend or two
time has taught me well and I can tell you
the good things people do
they really care and I've been there
seen it with my eyes
you can tell that they're God's people
by the goodness in their lives

I'm Not the King

The king of rock, some say lives
the lizard king is surely dead
the king of France lost his head
the King of Kings bled

I'm not the King I just sing
I'm just a fraction of a thing
I am not anything without the King of Kings

If I were King I'd be unwise
for my brains aren't King size
a King's someone to trust and love
like Jesus Christ whom I sing of

Walk On Water

Simon Peter won't you put those nets down
follow me I'll lead you out of this town
to a place where no boat has ever been
I will make you a fisher of men

Jesus walked out on the water
said take courage it is me
Peter trusted and he wanted to go farther
so he stepped out on the sea

If I keep my eyes on Jesus I can walk on water
If I keep my eyes on Jesus I can walk on water

Just like peter I want to go farther
tread on the sea and walk on the water
step where he steps and go where he goes
side by side when the sea billows roll
I'll be alright when the wind comes
I'll be alright when the waves come crashing
I'm not afraid for this is my father's world

See Through

I'm unstable and extreme
good to bad , I've been burnt in between
the smoke from the fire in my soul
makes a transparent haze
There are things that I can't hide
that would make some people think I've lied
I try to do right but I fail
don't set your eyes on me

I drive all night to sing this song
but I don't even care
Some people want a piece of me
but I've got none to share

Don't you know that God loves you
Don't you know that I try too
I've been known to miss my cue
Don't look at me I'm see through

I would love to be made perfect
but instead I have the grace of God
you should look through me
and you will see what I want to be

Man Of God

Sometimes I'm a liar sometimes I'm a fake
sometimes I'm a hypocrite that everybody hates
sometimes I'm a poet sometimes I'm a preacher
sometimes I watch life go by sitting on the bleacher

But I've never been left alone
in any problem that I've known
even though I'm to blame
there were times when things were dark
and I've been known to miss the mark
but someone fixed my aim

Sometimes I'm a man of God
sometimes I'm alright
sometimes I lay down close my eyes
and pray to God

Sometimes I don't feel good
it's hard to start the day
it's hard to climb the obstacles
that sometimes come my way
if I make it, I'm a good man
am I a bad man if I fail?
I know I'm never good enough
so I let grace prevail

But I've never been left alone
in any problem that I've known
even though I'm to blame
there were times when things were dark
and I've been known to miss the mark
but someone fixed my aim

Sometimes I'm a man of God
sometimes I'm alright
sometimes I lay down close my eyes
and pray to God I'm ready for the night
