SHOW ME LORD
Show me a man who can't complain
Who feels no pain
Who has no shame
Show me a man who's free of sin
(Show me Lord now)
Not struggling
(Show me Lord now)
At peace within
If you ask Him the Lord would probably say
It doesn't happen, no how no way
(It doesn't happen the Lord says it don't happen)
(Show me Lord now)
(Show me Lord now)
(Show me Lord now)
Show me a man
Who's always brave
Not afraid
Then runs away
If you ask Him the Lord would probably say
It doesn't happen, no how no way
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Show me a man with deep insight
Who's full of light
(Show me Lord now)
Who does what's right
Show me a man that's full of pride
(Show me Lord now)
He hides behind
Deceit and lies
If you'd ask Him the lord would look down and say
It doesn't happen, quite that way
(It doesn't happen, it just don't happen)
Tell me now Lord I'm asking you
Why should this be
(It doesn't happen, the Lord says it don't happen)
Show me a man
Who feels no pain
(Show me Lord now)
Who has no shame
(Show me Lord now)
Who can't complain
Show me a man
Who's free of sin
(Show me Lord now)
Not struggling
(Show me Lord now)
At peace within
Always brave
Not afraid
Who has been saved
(Show me Lord now)
(Show me Lord now)
(Show me Lord now)
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
Hes not hiding, hes not hiding
Say there stranger
I know youve gone through changes
But dont act so blameless
Youve been acting shameless
Youre forgetting the day of the Lord
Youre forgetting His terrible sword
Youre forgetting to bow before
The Lord when his day comes
You know about the sacrifice
But do you really grasp what it means
You cant even see passed tomorrow
But He said therell be
An eternity
Hey there brother
Why havent you called your mother
Dont you love her?
Shes home crying, shes home crying
And sister, I dont know why, why, why, why
Id say I missed ya, but Id be half lying
Are you ready for the day of the Lord?
Are you ready for his terrible sword?
Are you ready, youre gonna kowtow before
The Lord when His day comes
And lover, under the cover
What did you discover?
Dont be shy now, dont hide now
Preacher, soapbox speaker
Why should I believe ya?
Youre 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 cant even see passed tomorrow
And he said therell be
An eternity
How wonderful it will be
How wonder, how wonder, how wonderful it will be
DON'T BE AFRAID
Dont be afraid of the end, before weve even started
There aint no need to pretend, you know we cant be parted
So when youre feelin just a little unsure
Why dont you think of life without me
I know before long
I know youll see
That if you left Him my friend
Wed 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 dont you be afraid of the truth
Or you will only be lyin
And if your looking for proof
Youll find it if you keep tryin
So when youre feelin just a little bit down
Why dont you cool it for a minute
Take a good look around
And you will see
That if you left me my friend
Wed 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 cant lie to me
I know, yeah, yeah, now I know
Dont be afraid of the end, before weve even started
There aint no need to pretend, you know we cant 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
Wed both be broken hearted
I said yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Wed both be broken hearted
Yeah, yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah - y..e..a..h..
Weve got to, got to, got to go on
We've got to go
Yeah, yeah, weve got on
Weve got to go on, weve got to go on
SITTIN' ON A FENCE
Sittin on a fence, just waiting for something to happen
I know what, but Im not telling you why
But if you stick around, and wait to see
It will be worth your curiosity
But if you dont I wont 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 youd sit yourself down, and wait to see
What keeps me waiting so patiently
Now dont you think your puttin one over on me
Now Ive been waiting since the time I was three
Ill wait all my life, if thats how it has to be
You know Ill be
Ask me no questions, Ill tell you know lies
Your puttin one over on me
Y e a h, been waitin since the time I was three
Ill wait my life, if thats how it has to be
You know Ill be
Sittin on a fence - rain, snow, sleet, or shine
Ask me no questions Ill tell you know lies
But if you sit yourself down, and wait here with me
I guarantee therell be something to see
But if you dont, I wont mind
No, no, no, no, if you dont, I wont mind
If you dont I wont 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
Dont ask me to explain it
Words just cant describe
Youll have to find out for yourself
Only then will you see (stop)
You wont be searching, (ooh-ooh)
But somehow youll find, (stop)(ooh-ooh)
or will he find you (you-ooh)
Hes 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 cant live without him
And I pray they find him soon
Hes there always
I know now
How could I have ever had such doubt
I know now that Ive found him
I cant 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
Hes there for everyone
No matter how small,
or how great, or how poor
Hes watching everyone
WHEN IT'S OVER
Im gettin nearer, oh so close to the end of a dream
Ridin with the tailwind of a summer breeze
And I know, when its over well be free
Well be free when its over
Yes I know, when its over
Well be free when its 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
Its funny just yesterday I was flyin free as a dove
Now Im enslaved, but I know Ill 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 Im done, when Im gone, when its over
I know well be free
Thats why we believe..........Lord have mercy
Free
When its over, when its over, when its over
Well be free
Well be free when its over
I know, when its over, when its over, well be free
When its over y..e..a..h
When the smoke clears baby
When its 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
Therell 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
Youll hide from Gods 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 wont give its 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 worlds like this
Not knowing why you exist
Oh what a world it will be
Someday it all will be right
Therell 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
Ive been bearing the weight of my load
Ive been carrying the world upon my shoulder
How long can I hold it
Im bound to let go
Lord dont you see
Been through so much it seems too hard to believe
Ive been giving it my all and Im still going
Though lately Ive been slowing
Revitalize me!
Lord do you hear
Ive been feeling the pain and the years
And all the tears I shed were shed for something
That tells you one thing
Im a high, high flyer
And so Im gonna, you know Im gonna
Get there if I try
Too many people have wasted their lives
Ive been thinking Im in my prime
So Ill stop wasting time
High Flyer
Im asking you Lord for your strength
And a guiding light
Till I reach the end of my journey
Im a high, high flyer
Go higher
High, high flyer
Take me higher, go high
And so Im gonna
You know Im gonna get there
If you lord give me strength (Im gonna gonna get there)
You know Im gonna - Lord you know Im gonna get there
