Faith is Strong

Brother if you let him take your heart
His truth will set you free
You've been stumbling through the dark
Cause your lamp's been burning weak

He'll take you, mold you, shape you
Into what you really are
He'll wake you, shake you, break you
Put your face in the mud

And He'll send you down the long, long road
With fear and darkness on all sides
Just remember as you go
He'll be with you all the time

He'll test you, tease you, tempt you
With all you desire
He'll press you, squeeze you, stress you
Try you in his Holy Fire

But if your faith is strong

And Lord I pray I last, as I follow your lead
But my strength is fading fast
All hope is fleeing from me

He'll seize you, correct you, free you
From all vanity and conceit
He'll fault you, chastise then exalt you
As one of His Elite

But if your faith is strong

Could you tell me how long?
Could you tell me how far?
Where will we be going?
Won't you tell me where?
Won't you tell me when?
Or don't you even know it?

They say that patience is the virtue of saints
And I suppose that's true
It's not that I can't wait
It's will I make it through?

He'll take you, mold you, shape you
Into what you really are
He'll bless you, feed you, dress you
Put His Word in your heart

And if your love is strong



STRAWBERRY RIDGE

Who cares what time it is
When I'm sitting high on top of Strawberry Ridge
I don't remember ever feeling this tall
Why I could just reach on down
And touch the whole damned world
Lord

I felt so strange
I don't remember ever feeling this way
I felt so strange
When I think back it takes my breath away

Who cares what day it is
When the sun is shining up on top of Strawberry Ridge
You know that time doesn't matter at all
I've been pickin sweet strawberries since early this morning

I felt so strange
I heard a voice from so far away
It sounded so strange
I looked around then I heard it again

The voice I heard
Although it seemed absurd to me
Was soon to change my life
It reached my soul
As it took control over me
It echoed through my mind

Who cares what time it is
When the moon is bright and full on top of Strawberry Ridge
You know that voice it didn't leave me alone
I swear I heard it calling to me all the way home
And you know

It sounded strange
I heard a voice from so far away
It sounded strange
I swear I heard it calling my name



Once Upon a Time

If when the last chord fades
There is no applause
And no curtain calls

Once upon a time
You were flying where the eagle soars
But you have fallen lower
Than you had ever known
His spirits no where
You're all alone
Just when it feels like
You can't go on
His light comes shining through

And when the last cards drawn
It's time to fold or call
The choice is yours

Once upon a time
You were flyin where the eagle soars
But you have fallen lower
Than you had ever known
His spirit's no where
you're all alone
Just when it feels like
You can't go on
His light comes shining through
Shining through shining through

If when the last drink's poured
You can't find the door
Don't even get up off the floor

Once upon a time
You were flying where the eagle soars
Right now your're feeling lower than you have ever known
His spirit's no where
And you're all alone
Just when it feels like
You can't go on
His light comes shining through
Shining through
Light comes shining through
Shining through

How many times
Had I taken his name in vain
Yes once upon a time
I like you was blind
I couldn't see His light shining on my face
I couldn't see His truth it was written in my heart
Now I can't live without him



BLINDMAN

Hey there blindman
Why are you following Simon?
Instead of trying to find Him
He’s not hiding, he’s not hiding

Say there stranger
I know you’ve gone through changes
But don’t act so blameless
You’ve been acting shameless

You’re forgetting the day of the Lord
You’re forgetting His terrible sword
You’re forgetting to bow before
The Lord when his day comes

You know about the sacrifice
But do you really grasp what it means
You can’t even see passed tomorrow
But He said there’ll be
An eternity

Hey there brother
Why haven’t you called your mother
Don’t you love her?
She’s home crying, she’s home crying
And sister, I don’t know why, why, why, why
I’d say I missed ya, but I’d be half lying

Are you ready for the day of the Lord?
Are you ready for his terrible sword?
Are you ready, you’re gonna kowtow before
The Lord when His day comes

And lover, under the cover
What did you discover?
Don’t be shy now, don’t hide now
Preacher, soapbox speaker
Why should I believe ya?
You’re just another cheater

Get ready for the day of the Lord
Get ready for His terrible sword
Get ready you're gonna bow down before
The Lord when His day comes

Did you know about His sacrifice?
Do you really grasp what that means?
You can’t even see passed tomorrow
And he said there’ll be
An eternity

How wonderful it will be
How wonder, how wonder, how wonderful it will be



DON'T BE AFRAID

Don’t be afraid of the end, before we’ve even started
There aint no need to pretend, you know we can’t be parted

So when you’re feelin’ just a little unsure
Why don’t you think of life without me
I know before long

I know you’ll see
That if you left Him my friend
We’d both be broken hearted

So when I look in those eyes I see
Two eyes shinin’ down on me
When I look in those eyes I see
Two eyes and they are lovin’ me
I know

Now, now don’t you be afraid of the truth
Or you will only be lyin’
And if your looking for proof
You’ll find it if you keep tryin’

So when you’re feelin’ just a little bit down
Why don’t you cool it for a minute
Take a good look around

And you will see
That if you left me my friend
We’d only both end up cryin’

So when I look in those eyes I see
Two eyes that often cry to me

When I look in those eyes I see
Two eyes that just can’t lie to me
I know, yeah, yeah, now I know

Don’t be afraid of the end, before we’ve even started
There aint no need to pretend, you know we can’t be parted

So when your mind just gets a bit of the track
I want you to reach right out and catch it, yank it on back

And you will see
That if you left me my friend
We’d both be broken hearted

I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We’d both be broken hearted
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah - y..e..a..h..
We’ve got to, got to, got to go on
We've got to go
Yeah, yeah, we’ve got on
We’ve got to go on, we’ve got to go on



SITTIN' ON A FENCE

Sittin on a fence, just waiting for something to happen
I know what, but I’m not telling you why

But if you stick around, and wait to see
It will be worth your curiosity
But if you don’t I won’t mind

You see it makes no sense
Teeter tottering on the fence all the time
But if you knew what I had in mind

I bet you’d sit yourself down, and wait to see
What keeps me waiting so patiently
Now don’t you think your puttin’ one over on me

Now I’ve been waiting since the time I was three
I’ll wait all my life, if that’s how it has to be
You know I’ll be

Ask me no questions, I’ll tell you know lies
Your puttin’ one over on me

Y e a h, been waitin’ since the time I was three
I’ll wait my life, if that’s how it has to be
You know I’ll be

Sittin’ on a fence - rain, snow, sleet, or shine
Ask me no questions I’ll tell you know lies

But if you sit yourself down, and wait here with me
I guarantee there’ll be something to see

But if you don’t, I won’t mind
No, no, no, no, if you don’t, I won’t mind
If you don’t I won’t mind



DON'T LOOK FOR YESTERDAY

I look over where a rainbow should've been
And I see dark, dreary skies rolling in
I got ready for the rain, but it never came down
It turned into a day so bright and warm

Don't go lookin for yesterday,
Or you'll lose tomorrow
Forget about what's been

Then I see two lovers holding hands
Gazing into each others eyes, making wedding plans
All is right in their world, they have God in their lives
The Lord told the man, to make the woman his wife

Don't go lookin for yesterday,
Or you'll lose tomorrow
Forget about what's been

You know, there's a pure heart behind that smiling face
You hide your baldness with a bandana
And your eyebrows are fake
Now that's a cross to bear and you bear it well
But never forget the cross that Jesus carried
That will save the world from hell

Don't go lookin for yesterday,
Or you'll lose tomorrow
Forget about what's been

I saved this one for last 'cause he's kept me waiting and waiting
Sometimes it feels like years
If you only knew how much more you would do in life
If you were'nt always so tangled up in time....

Don't go lookin for yesterday,
Or you'll lose tomorrow
Forget about what's been



FLYIN' FREE

We're flyin' free
As a dove
They call us dreamers
We sing of love

And I'm wonderin'
Which way you are going
Yes I'm wonderin' if you are
Going the way that we are bound

We have ideals
We have our youth
They call us dreamers
We sing of truth

And I'm looking for someone
To believe in
Yes I'm looking for someone
Who will believe in me

And I thank God for the dreamers
And the dreams that can't be bought
Yes I do thank God for the schemers
And the schemes that can't be taught Lord
I am praying you believers
Come on aboard
Come on aboard

The road is hard
So are the times
You know you dreamers
Take long to find

I'm looking for someone
To believe in
I'm looking for someone
Who will believe in me

And I pray you're a dreamer
With a dream that can't be bought
Yes I do pray you're a schemer
With those schemes that can't be taught Lord
And I am prayin you believers
Come on aboard
Come on aboard



HE'S THERE ALWAYS

Don’t ask me to explain it
Words just can’t describe
You’ll have to find out for yourself
Only then will you see (stop)
You won’t be searching, (ooh-ooh)
But somehow you’ll find, (stop)(ooh-ooh)
or will he find you (you-ooh)

He’s there always
Watching over everyone
No matter how small,
or how great, or how poor

I never knew much about him
But I found out
that I can’t live without him
And I pray they find him soon

He’s there always
I know now
How could I have ever had such doubt

I know now that I’ve found him
I can’t see the world go on without Him
And I pray they find Him
Cause soon on the east horizon
Soon a new star will be shining

And it can shine for you
Just reach out
He’s there for everyone
No matter how small,
or how great, or how poor
He’s watching everyone



WHEN IT'S OVER

I’m gettin nearer, oh so close to the end of a dream
Ridin’ with the tailwind of a summer breeze

And I know, when it’s over we’ll be free
We’ll be free when it’s over
Yes I know, when it’s over
We’ll be free when it’s over

I never really knew that time
Could tear down my body and my mind

But the sun came up, the sun went down
The days turned into months and the years, fallin down
It’s funny just yesterday I was flyin’ free as a dove
Now I’m enslaved, but I know I’ll be saved

Free

Sometimes the tide goes in, sometimes it goes out
And the heights are only reached
Once you know what the depths are about
And when I’m done, when I’m gone, when it’s over
I know we’ll be free
That’s why we believe..........Lord have mercy

Free

When it’s over, when it’s over, when it’s over
We’ll be free
We’ll be free when it’s over
I know, when it’s over, when it’s over, we’ll be free
When it’s over y..e..a..h
When the smoke clears baby
When it’s over



COME DOWN TO THE WATER

Come down to the water
It won't take you long
But it lasts forever
And someday you'll be born
Into the family of God

No stately old mansion
Could even compare
To what the Lord will
Give to you when
You get there

The heavenly portents
All seem to proclaim
These are the End Times
Even his church has
Fallen away

They changed it
Rearranged it
Exchanged it
Didn't explain anything
Refaced it
Common placed it
But He said His word would last forever
And it has!

No comic book hero
Will even come near
The strength that the Lord will
Give to you when
He gets here

So come down to the water
It won't take you long
But it will last forever
And someday you'll be born
A child of the Lord

They changed it
Rearranged it
Exchanged it
Didn't explain anything
Refaced it
Common placed it
Debased it
Disgraced it
Erased it
Didn't explain what they did
Deranged it
Profaned it



IT ALL WILL BE RIGHT

Someday it all will be right
There’ll be no more confusion
no tears in our eyes

No more lies or illusions
But first, the moon and stars will dissapear

Darkness fills the night as kingdoms pass away
You’ll hide from God’s face
And even wise bow down

Oh what a world it will be tomorrow
Oh what a world it will be

But first, the moon will turn to blood
Stars fall from the sky
Mountains rise and fall
The sun won’t give it’s light
Angels go to war
The beast destroys the whore
And even wise men pray

These are the signs
The heavenly wonderings
The lightning and thunderings
The power of God

So you sit home and wonder why is the world like this
Pondering why the world’s like this
Not knowing why you exist

Oh what a world it will be
Someday it all will be right
There’ll be no more confustion
No tears, no hunger
Just love for each other
The lion will lay down with the lamb



HIGH FLYER

Lord do you know
I’ve been bearing the weight of my load
I’ve been carrying the world upon my shoulder
How long can I hold it
I’m bound to let go

Lord don’t you see
Been through so much it seems too hard to believe
I’ve been giving it my all and I’m still going
Though lately I’ve been slowing
Revitalize me!

Lord do you hear
I’ve been feeling the pain and the years
And all the tears I shed were shed for something
That tells you one thing
I’m a high, high flyer
And so I’m gonna, you know I’m gonna
Get there if I try

Too many people have wasted their lives
I’ve been thinking I’m in my prime
So I’ll stop wasting time
High Flyer

I’m asking you Lord for your strength
And a guiding light
Till I reach the end of my journey
I’m a high, high flyer
Go higher
High, high flyer
Take me higher, go high
And so I’m gonna
You know I’m gonna get there

If you lord give me strength (I’m gonna gonna get there)
You know I’m gonna - Lord you know I’m gonna get there
