I heard your record on the telephone
It was my cousin, Joan She picked it up from the top 40 rack and then I read your interview in Rolling Stone You threw the boys a bone And so I genuinely felt obliged to call I know You never meant to hurt us, man We're just a baby band You found a quicker way To scale the wall of fame The situation's awfully dim Should we up and go with him?

No way (no way, 1, 2, 3, 4) *Repeat Don't think we don't miss you (We think about you every day) We still love you anyway (Love don't go away) There's still this burning question (I got to know) Why?

Sorrow is a lonely feeling
Unsettled is a painful place I've lived with both for far too long now Since we've parted ways I've been wrestling with my conscience And I found myself to blame If there's to be any resolution I've got to peel my pride away Just between you and me I've got something to say I wanna get it straight Before the sun goes down Just between you and me Confession needs to be made Recompense is my way to freedom (now) Just between you and me I've got something to say If confession is the road to healing Forgiveness is the promised land I'm reaching out in my conviction I'm longing to make amends So, I'm sorry for the words I've spoken For I've betrayed a friend We have a love that's worth preserving And a bond I will defend In my pursuit of God I thirst for holiness As I approach the Son I must consider this Offenses unresolved will keep me from the throne Before I go to You my wrong must be atoned |

from The Prince Of Egypt (이집트의 왕자) by Hans Zimmer [ost] (1998)
Joseph took his wife and child
And they went to Africa To escape the rage of a deadly king There along the banks of the Nile They listened to the song That the captive children used to sing They were singing * My Deliverer is coming My Deliverer is standing by Oh, my Deliverer is coming My Deliverer is standing by Through a dry and thirsty land Water from the Kenyan heights Pours itself out of Lake Sangra's broken heart It's broken heart There in the Sahara winds Moses heard the whole world cry For the healing that would flow from God's own scars I hear Moses singing * Repeat He will never break his promise He has written it upon the sky My Deliverer is coming Ooh, my Deliverer is standing by He'll come 'round He'll come 'round some day (2X) (Just like He said He would) I will never doubt his promise Though I doubt my heart, though I doubt my eyes * Repeat (2X) Standing by, oh He's standing by... Oh, Deliver me, deliver me |

Now you can have all the fun and money man can have
Sport a Porche or carry Gucci bags You can gear in gold from your chest to your chin But if you don't know the Savior, you'll never get in The gates of hell shall prevail on your soul If makin' money, shakin' honeys is your lifelong goal There's a plan laid before you that can change the above It can fit any man like a hand in a glove There's only one way to heaven and that won't change Cause my almighty Father's not respectful of names So be saved Saved, you gah ta be saved Saved, you gah ta be saved Saved, you gah ta be saved Saved, you gah ta be saved I once knew a politician upon Capitol Hill Attended all the right parties cause he voted on bills He had big friends, he drove a Benz But a life full of strife cause he was livin' in sin He said he wasn't satisfied with life as it was Everything he'd always wanted simply wasn't enough When he asked me why so happy, I had to confess I got Christ in my life, I've been more than blessed You see there's nothin' wrong with finer things in life But an eternity in heaven ain't displayin' a price So be saved Saved, you gah ta be saved Saved, you gah ta be saved Saved, you gah ta be saved Saved, you gah ta be saved You gotta know it and believe it You gotta show it and receive it Saved, you gah ta be saved Saved, you gah ta be saved Saved, you gah ta be saved Saved, you gah ta be saved From a brother to another, I'm not doggin' the bucks Cause a bum without the Father is a bum outta luck No mention of exemption, no requirements waived To enter through the gates ya gotta gotta be saved Don't make it complex, straight up text No matter what race, creed, color, or sex Accept Him, don't reject Him, heed the call of the Christ He's at your heart's door knockin', He awaits a reply This life is temporary, lay your treasures above Eternal life is offered through His infinite love Be saved Saved, you gah ta be saved Saved, you gah ta be saved Saved, you gah ta be saved Saved, you gah ta be saved |

Well I walk through this world livin' day to day
I see the people, hear what they have to say Take a look at the ethics, morals, and goals Makin' gods outta men that rock 'n roll Like Sodom and Gomorrah, this world will fall A total destruction, destiny of all Who have mocked the name of Jesus, the Savior and Lord In the battle of Armageddon and a two-edged sword Satan in a day he will never forget When the King hurls him into a bottomless pit So keep your eyes on the Lord, don't follow human ways Cause it's written in the Word, these are the final days Final days Change your ways Final days The final days is what my song's about Words so intense I might have to shout Some might play hard and say I'm wack But I'm talkin' about truth not egomaniac And as long as they listen, they won't be dissin' Cause rappin' final days is a serious mission Just so they learn, I will stand stern I hope my words make ya start to churn I'm concerned with the life that you're livin' now Your's ego's so bad that ya can't even bow To the Master of all, Creator of creation I'm talkin' bout God no misinterpretation Rappin' hard for the One who deserves the best Speakin' rhymes that will try and put your heart to test Don't stop and stare me down with that b-boy haze Get busy, cause these are the final days Final days Change your ways Final days The words of my rap are not what you think But so secure I suggest you take 'em to the bank Or better yet take these words to heart Don't wait until tomorrow, now's the time to start I'm not askin' for your money or rappin' for a fee Think upon the words is my only plea Cause this song's about to end, your time is runnin' thin And now that my time is up, it's time for you to begin To do this job is my only request A basic rap exam puts MC's to test Spread these words like a fire ablaze Cause I'm tellin' ya we're livin' in the final days Final days Change your ways Final days |

John the baptist prophesied a messiah will rise
He'll be tried, crucified, ascend in the skies Years later in the city of dave A miracle of God gave a virgin a babe Kings came from afar, followed a star To worship baby jesus who was born in a barn He brings peace on earth, his mercy is mild God and sinners reconciled through the birth of a child It's the story of my savior, my reason to sing Allelujah, let it move ya, christ is king (chorus) Allelujah Christ is king Allelujah Let the praises ring Allelujah He stood before pilot an innocent man They cried crucify, he supplied demand He was mocked, spit upon, his clothes were torn Royalty was represented with a crown of thorns They placed him in a robe, they gave him a staff As they gambled for his garments roman soldiers laughed Upon golgotha they crucified christ Sent from above to cold pay your price On his command opposition was through But christ said forgive them, they know not what they do (repeat chorus) Now mary ran toward the tomb of her messiah and lord Shocked to find the rock removed that served as a door She took one step inside, filled with fright She thought a thief must have stole his body late in the night As she fell to the ground she began to weep Heard a voice and turned to hear the savior speak Christ the messiah risen up from the dead He's alive, she cried, like the prophecy read It's the story of my savior, my reason to sing Allelujah, christ is king (repeat chorus) |

Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so All of us to Him belong We are so weak, but our God, He is strong As I sit and ponder I begin to wonder why God would send His only son upon this earth to die The conviction of my heart brings a tear to my eye And keep reality far from me, I just want to hide Christ endured such cruelty for a sinner like me He paid the price when He died for me on Calvary's tree I once was blind, but now my eyes clearly see The sacrifice Christ became for you and me Because Jesus loves me, this I know For the Word of God tells me so All of us to Him belong, it's true That we are weak, yet He is strong Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me For the Bible tells me so He will stand by like no other man Two sets of footprints within the sand But at times looking back one is all I see These are the days that He carried me He has proven His love time and again Pulled me from the fire, a result of my sin Compare where I am now to where I might have been Get on my knees just to praise Him again and again Thank you for loving me, it's undeserved It doesn't make sense, I mean the picture is blurred I'm the one that owes the debt, but you paid my price Now Jesus Christ, I owe you my life Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me For the Bible tells me so Now that I can see it, will the life I lead change It's kinda strange we make decisions When they're out of our range But in day to day living, we tend to give up On commitments that were made before life got tough With compromise in our eyes and pressure from peers We reign on a decision that we once held so dear But let's try keep sight of this vision foreseen Hold tight day and night beyond the point of a dream Because Jesus loves me, this I know For the Word of God it tells me so Everyone of us to Him belong, it's true We are so weak, yet He is so strong Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me For the Bible tells me so |

Ya know the def hip hop sound Hyped up bass with a tiny snare The subwoofer makes ya neighbor stare But still (interlude) I luv rap music I always have, and I always will Now rap started as the voice of the street A sorta politics to a ghetto beat Then rappers started braggin' all about their gold And the girlies, and the beepers And the big, black Olds-mobile In '83, the beatbox hit Makin' funky drum sounds from out ya lips But takin' on nu forms, rap has moved from the block Now some mix it with soul and some mix it with rock Ya know (chorus) I luv rap music I always have, and I always will There ain't no other kinda music in all the world That makes me feel quite as chill I luv rap music Ya know, it's sittin' on the top of my list So if ya wanna hang with me, ya better believe We'll be jammin' to a hip hop mix Concert time in my part of the town Ya know, I brought my mom cause I knew she was down She was flat groovin', but couldn't understand How they makin' music when there ain't no band And then she cried, "James," everybody stared She heard a James Brown sample and thought he was there She got home, shook her head and said, "Kids these years" But then again, we think the Beatles were weird I luv rap music I luv rap music (repeat chorus) Today some rappers boast, some are makin' me ill And those obscene lyrics are overkill But I started M.C.in' way back in the day And since then there's been a serious change Ya know, I asked Christ to come into my heart And He gave me a brand new start And on top a dat, He cold gave me my dreams Doin' hip hop music with a Christian theme Ya know (repeat chorus) I luv rap music I luv rap music I luv rap music I luv rap music |

To accumulate goods that seem to mean a lot For the first 20 years, you're off to school Learnin' principles and learnin' the tools To make lots of money, the ultimate goal Gain the whole world and yet lose ya soul Huh, humanism is on a roll 20 gets the the knowledge, 30 years to apply and just 20 years left for askin' why I didn't realize what it was all about And, was there any use in this rigorous route because (chorus) Things of this world are passin' away Here tomorrow, but they're sure not here to stay Things of this world are passin' away So lay your treasure above And start to live for Him today All done for self in this world will pass And all done for Christ in this world will last Sounds like a simple task... But everyday life seems to get in the way No time to serve, barely time to pray Our focal points lost and we get tossed In the wind, cold facing the cost Of fallin' without stallin' or even callin' the Lord While you were blackballin' He was waitin' for you to see the light And find for yourself, these things are trite (repeat chorus) (vamp) Our mind transforms a want to a need A simple process that we call greed Ya say ya like to have money, well I do too The problem starts when the money has you Workin' overtime to keep up with the pace A lifestyle that you want to embrace But it's 2 steps from where your needs are met You're keepin' up with the Joneses, but your all in debt Which will lead to stress, not meeting the bills While ya sportin' a Benz with all the thrills The domino effect's gotcha life in check A temporary stitch and ya livin' a wreck (repeat chorus 2x) Don't lay up your treasures upon this Earth They'll soon pass away And all return to dirt (4x) Things of this world are passin' away Here tomorrow, but they're sure not here to stay Things of this world, things of this world The things, the things, the things of this world Don't lay up your treasures upon this Earth They'll soon pass away And all return to dirt (2x) |

It's time for God's people to take a stand I mean brother to brother, black to white Stand up to the problem and begin to fight Not against each other, you're wastin' time Yo, I'm referring to a battle of minds Not through debate or writin' on the walls This kinda action is delayin' the cause An eye for an eye, fight fire with fire It's our turn to take it one step higher Gotta live by example, show brotherly love We're together on Earth, we'll be together above So we're (chorus) Tearin' down the walls Of segregation Unity abroad New revelation Tearin' down the walls Of segregation Unity abroad In every nation To label churches by color ain't nothin' but wrong We're in the same crew, we're singin' one song If you're in God's army, that makes you my kin Yo, our common bond is the Father of men Of all attributes that we should possess Love is in the Word ahead of all the rest No negotiation to love a certain nation All means all, with no discrimination Boy, we can set a precedence the world can cop Yo, fellow believer, now's the time to stop Racism within our lines Today is the time for this love to shine So we're (repeat chorus) (vamp) Judge a man by His heart, not color of skin God views a man from what's held within And, you're called one of His, so you gotta know To be Christ-like is the way that you go And my brothers and sisters in one accord Yo, we're the sheep, and the Shepherd's the Lord So whether black sheep, white sheep, or even swirl God watches over all the sheep of the world So tell me whassup when ya know the command The Word's bold, "Love your fellow man!"

I don't want another country
I want ta recognize intent Of our forefathers when they wrote Precisely what they meant Taken on the form of Christian But the power is denied In God we trust only when we lust For the apple of our eye One nation under God With morals out of proportion An end result is murder Under legalized abortion Children can live without it Who's gonna take it away? Children can live without it Maybe we'll learn someday Oh, that we'll learn, I pray A miracle of God Now looked on as a choice It's time for all His children To unify a voice With influence in our numbers And power in out prayer We must defend the children And fight for what is fair What appears to be an upset Can change its ugly course And we can do it all Through Jesus Christ our Lord Children can live without it Who's gonna take it away? Children can live without it Maybe we'll learn someday Oh, that we'll learn, I pray (bridge) O, they can fight, but they cannot win They can scream, but none will hear them Don't ya know that our conscience will die If we take away the freedom to survive? Children can live without it Who's gonna take it away? Children can live without it Maybe we'll learn someday Oh, that we'll learn, I pray Children can live without it Who's gonna take it away? Children can live without it Maybe we'll learn someday Oh, that we'll learn, I pray Children can live without it Who's gonna take it away? Children can live without it Maybe we'll learn someday Oh, that we'll learn, I pray |

The other night I met a girl
And she looked to be so nice I asked her for the digits And she didn't think twice A couple of days later called her up and asked her out She said,'with you?' I said, 'with me,' And then she said, 'without a doubt' I took her to the Garden where I guess they grow the Olives She wore a tighter skirt Than any I had seen in college She said, 'I love to smoke and drink While cursing like a sailor' I asked her where she got her mouth And if she had a tailor Finally I walked her to the door to say goodnight She said, 'I am an apple, Would you care to take a bite?' Politely I refused and said, 'I'm looking for a lady' So she slapped me in my face and said, 'Boy, you must be crazy' Different from the ones before Different from the ones before, she's that kinda girl Different from the ones before, Cause I know she loves the Lord She's that kinda girl, virtuous in every way The kinda girl that makes you say, 'I hope she comes my way' Well I'm lookin' for a girl who virtuous Cause God laid it on my heart to search for this So I open up the Word to the book of Proverbs The 31st chapter tells me all about her Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain A woman who fears the Lord, she ain't playin' Hear what I'm sayin', cause I'm sayin' it clearly She's the kinda girl I gots to have near me She's that kinda girl. Different from the ones before Cause I know she loves the Lord She's that kinda girl, virtuous in every way, The kinda girl that makes you say... Well I'm lookin' into hookin' with a lady And not a girly of the worl'y that's shady But the kinda girl you meet Behind the doors of a church Ya see, God will bring her to me So I don't have to search Too hard I've been scarred by the ones of the past So put an APB out on the one that will last A little longer than a roll in the hay for sure But a bona fide lady's what I'm prayin' for When I finally meet her, I'll know how to treat her By fulfilling all her needs Love her and respect her, cherish her forever She's the kinda girl for me She's that kinda girl Different from the ones before, Cause I know she loves the Lord She's that kinda girl, perfect for each other There'll never be another for me She's that kinda girl, virtuous in every way The kinda girl that makes you say 'I hope she comes my way' Heaven help me, hear my plea I know there's one who's perfect for me When I finally meet her, I'll know how to treat her, By fulfilling all her needs Love her and respect her, cherish her forever She's the kinda girl for me She' the kinda girl for me, the kinda girl for me She' the kinda girl for me She' the kinda girl for me, the kinda girl for me She' the kinda girl for me, I pray she come's my way She's that kinda girl Different from the ones before Cause I know she loves the Lord She's that kinda girl, virtuous in every way The kinda girl that makes you say...

Silence is golden but these are the words
That the world needs to hear Terms of compassion will cause a reaction As love draws them near But still we choose to hide behind the face of pride Pretending we are blind to the calling This is my point and case, if hate can be erased With such a simple phrase, why are we stalling? Say the words, say the words, say I love you Say the words I long to hear Say the words, say the words, say I love you Say the words I long to hear Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it, say it Some just assume we already know Of the love that they feel Some have a heartfelt emotion But never the words to reveal I think we all relate, so why are we afraid To let our hearts convey what we're feeling? There is a world in need with hungry souls to feed And love can intercede if we're willing, so... Say the words, say the words, say I love you Say the words I long to hear Say the words, say the words, say I love you Say the words I long to hear Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it, say it The word love, well it was once overused Back in the 70's the word was abused But I refuse to let love be diluted We can't allow physical lust to intrude it Or pollute it cause there ain't no excuse For the greatest gift of all to be abused So choose to lose the pride that may tug at you Don't be afraid of the words "I love you Say the words, say the words, say I love you Say the words I long to hear Say the words, say the words, say I love you Say the words I long to hear Say the words, say the words, say I love you Say the words I long to hear Say the words, say the words, say I love you Say the words I long to hear |

No way (no way, 1, 2, 3, 4) (repeat chorus) (bridge) Don't think we don't miss you (We think about you every day) We still love you anyway ('cause Love don't go away) There's still this burning question (I got to know) Why?

Haunted by a jaded past
Never thought that love could last Hope was but a castaway at sea Skepticism took it's toll Closed the windows to my soul Was fighting just to keep my sanity When out of the noise I could hear You breathing You came along knowing just what I needed Turned me around and ya got me believin' You would die for me *Now I'm fearless with nothing left to hide All the doubts of yesterday, love has driven them away And now I'm fearless when I am by Your side It's forever me and You in this covenant of truth Ya know I'm fearless...oh yeah Patiently You stripped away The walls of pride that I had raised You revealed the child inside of me We will run and not grow old Soar on wings as I've been told Together we will fly the heavenlies Cause out of the noise I could hear You breathing You came along knowing just what I needed Turned me around and ya got me believin' I would die for You *Repeat Some of us leave the vine Some of us fall in line All of us have a friend in Jesus Some of us live in fear Some of us persevere Knowing that You are near me, I am fearless *Repeat |

Only the tip of a sunrise visible Like the morning light in a little girl's eyes I crave this freedom I find it only in this little ship Just my soul and this bread and butter I am comfortable But there is a treason at sea Is it me? It is a wonder, supernatural cover of war The dark ones who eternal in damnation grow Set about me now How they whine and crow I am solo In this world of wet And bitter is my temperament I close the door to sentiment And I relish all my youth I realize that I am doomed Fear of love and fear of You But You give me the keys to paradise It is You who sympathize You and Your perfection grow I am cradled in Your oceans throw I crave Your freedom in this little ship For You alone can chart my trip And like these waves I lose my grip And I sink into Your arms |

From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams Been apprehended by a spiritual force And a grace that replaced all the me I’ve divorced I saw a man with tattoo on his big fat belly It wiggled around like marmalade jelly It took me a while to catch what it said Cause I had to match the rhythm Of his belly with my head ’jesus saves’ is what it raved in a typical tattoo green He stood on a box in the middle of the city And claimed he had a dream (chorus) What will people think When they hear that I’m a jesus freak What will people do when they find that it’s true I don’t really care if they label me a jesus freak There ain’t no disguising the truth Kamikaze my death is gain I’ve been marked by my maker A peculiar display The high and lofty they see me as weak Cause I won’t live and die for the power they seek There was a man from the desert with naps in his head The sand that he walked was also his bed The words that he spoke made the people assume There wasn’t too much left in the upper room With skins on his back and hair on his face They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate The pharisees tripped when they heard him speak Until the king took the head of this jesus freak (repeat chorus) People say I’m strange, does it make me a stranger That my best friend was born in a manger People say I’m strange, does it make me a stranger That my best friend was born in a manger A freak indeed but not the type that sneaks Peek into my past and my rhymes seem greek For I wasn’t the man that I am today See I ran the games like tate manned his fade Max was a factor in those early days We turned blacks and whites into hazy grays Until the word cut through us like a buck knife And so deep, I’ll be a freak for life (repeat chorus) What will people think When they hear that I’m a jesus freak [what will people think? ] What will people do when they find that it’s true [what will people do? ] I don’t really care if they label me a jesus freak [what else can I say? ] There ain’t no disguising the truth [jesus is the way] (repeat 2x) What will people think?

the greatest single cause of atheism
in the world today Is christians who acknowledge jesus with their lips Then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable. What if i stumble? What if i fall? Is this one for the people? Is this one for the lord? Or do i simply serenade for things i must afford? You can jumble them together, my conflict still remains Holiness is calling, in the midst of courting fame Cause i see the trust in their eyes Though the sky is falling They need your love in their lives Compromise is calling What if i stumble, what if i fall? What if i lose my step and i make fools of us all? Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl? What if i stumble, and what if i fall? What if i stumble, what if i fall? You never turn in the heat of it all What if i stumble, what if i fall? Father please forgive me for i can not compose The fear that lives within me Or the rate at which it grows If struggle has a purpose On the narrow road you've carved Why do i dread my trespasses will leave a deadly scar Do they see the fear in my eyes? Are they so revealing? This time i cannot disguise All the doubt i'm feeling What if i stumble, what if i fall? What if i lose my step and i make fools of us all? Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl? What if i stumble, and what if i fall? What if i stumble? Everyone's got to crawl when you know that You're up against a wall, it's about to fall Everyone's got to crawl when you know that Everyone's got to crawl when you know that You're up against a wall, it's about to fall Everyone's got to crawl when you know that I hear you whispering my name you say my love for you will never change never change What if i stumble, what if i fall? What if i lose my step and i make fools of us all? Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl? What if i stumble, and what if i fall? What if i stumble, what if i fall? What if i lose my step and i make fools of us all? Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl? What if i stumble, and what if i fall? What if i stumble, what if i fall? You never turn in the heat of it all What if i stumble, what if i fall? You are my comfort, and my god Is this one for the people, is this one for the lord? |

Day By Day
by DC Talk I live a simple life, I take a day at a time I spend my mornings with God before I hit the grind The subtleties of darkness never cease to amaze As a physical world creates a spiritual haze Blinded by distractions Lost in matterless affairs Reaching through the darkness Trusting You will meet me there (chorus) Day by day, day by day Day by day, day by day Oh dear Lord, three things I pray [one, two, three] To see thee more clearly [day by day] To love thee more dearly [day by day] To follow thee more nearly [I got to take it] Day by day You cruise around the corner You watch your back You sweep your feet down alley streets Sometimes you creep, I never see you coming Monday, man you’re on my back Like a knapsack strapped with my heavy burden No, You cannot condemn me I won’t buy your bag of goods You’ve got nothing for me anyway That’s why I pray (repeat chorus) These three things I do pray Day by day Day by day, by day, by day [These three things] Day by day, by day, by day [I do pray] Day by day, by day, by day, by day it’s one step out of time As you walk Day by day Go to God and pray, |

Between You And Me
by DC Talk [It's just between you and me Get it straight before the sun goes down] Sorrow is a lonely feeling Unsettled is a painful place I've lived with both for far too long now Since we've parted ways I've been wrestling with my conscience And I found myself to blame If there's to be any resolution I've got to peel my pride away (chorus) Just between you and me I've got something' to say I wanna get it straight Before the sun goes down Just between you and me Confession needs to be made Recompense is my way to freedom now Just between you and me I've got something to say If confession is the road to healing Forgiveness is the promised land I'm reaching out in my conviction I'm longing to make amends So, I'm sorry for the words I've spoken For I've betrayed a friend We've got a love that's worth preserving And a bond I will defend (repeat chorus) In my pursuit of God, I thirst for holiness As I approach the Son, I must consider this Offenses unresolved, they'll keep me from the throne Before I go to Him my wrong must be atoned If there's to be any resolution I've got to peel this pride away Just between you and me I've got something' to say I wanna get it straight Before the sun goes down Just between you and me Confession needs to be made Recompense is my way to freedom It's my way to freedom It's my way to freedom (2x) I've got something to say, so let me say it today It's my way to freedom (2x) I've got something to say, confession needs to be made It's my way to freedom (2x) I've got something to say, confession needs to be made It's my way to freedom (2x) I've got something to say... |

I keep trying to find a life
On my own, apart from you I am the king of excuses I've got one for every selfish thing I do What's going on inside of me? I despise my own behavior This only serves to confirm my suspicions That I'm still a man in need of a saviour I wanna be in the Light As You are in the Light I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens Oh, Lord be my Light and be my salvation 'Cause all I want is to be in the Light All I want is to be in the Light The disease of self runs through my blood It's a cancer fatal to my soul Every attempt on my behalf has failed To bring this sickness under control I wanna be in the Light As You are in the Light I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens Oh, Lord be my Light and be my salvation 'Cause all I want is to be in the Light All I want is to be in the Light Honesty becomes me (There's nothing left to lose) The secrets that did run me (In Your Presence are defused) Pride has no position (And riches have no worth) The fame that once did cover me (Has been sentenced to this earth) Has been sentenced to this earth |

A preacher shuns his brother
Cause his bride's a different color And this is not acceptable His papa taught him so It was love that he'd been preaching But this was overreaching The boundaries stretchin' further Than his heart would choose to go Like an angel with no wings Like a kingdom with no king What have we become? A self indulgent people What have we become? Tell me where are the righteous ones? What have we become? In a world degenerating What have we become? Speak your mind, look out for yourself The answer to it all is a life of wealth Grab all you can cause you live just once You got the right to do whatever you want Don't worry about others or where you came from It ain't what you were, it's what you have become Mom and Dad are fightin' As Rosie lies there crying For once again she's overheard Regrets of their mistake With Christmas bells a-ringing Little Rosie'd leave them grievin' The gift she'd give her family Would be the pills she'd take An inconvenient child She wasn't worth their while What have we become? A self indulgent people What have we become? Tell me where are the righteous ones? What have we become? In a world degenerating What have we become? Speak your mind, look out for yourself The answer to it all is a life of wealth Grab all you can cause you live just once You got the right to do whatever you want Don't worry about others or where you came from It ain't what you were, it's what you have become Don't worry about others or where you came from It ain't what you were, it's what you have become What about love? What about God? What about holiness? What about mercy, compassion and selflessness? You know it's true He is there for me and you Doesn't matter what you do What have we become? A self indulgent people What have we become? Tell me where are the righteous ones? What have we become? In a world degenerating What have we become? Have we come undone? What have we become? Have we come undone? What have we become? Selfish... ??? With selfish... ??? Selfish people When you gonna learn? Everyone of us Gathered 'round in trust What have we become? |

(In my mind, I can see Your face
As Your love pours down in a shower of grace Some people tell me that You're just a dream My faith is the evidence of things unseen) In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye In my mind's eye, in my mind You know what I'm going through I know this is true 'Cause You stood in my shoes Desire's inside of me But it's hard to believe In what you cannot see Can you catch the wind? See a breeze? Its presence is revealed by The leaves on a tree An image of my faith in the unseen (chorus) In my mind's eye I see Your face You smile as you show me grace In my mind's eye You take my hand We walk through foreign lands The foreign lands of life In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye In my mind's eye, in my mind In my mind I'm where I belong As I rest in your arms And like a child I hold on to you In my moment of truth, yes I do We can ride the storm Endure the pain You comfort me in my hurricane And I'll never be alone again (repeat chorus 2x) In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye In my mind's eye, in my mind In my mind I can see Your face Love pours down in a shower of grace Life is a gift that You choose to give I believe we eternally live Faith is the evidence of things unseen People tell me that You're just a dream But they don't know You the way that I do You're the one I live to pursue Can you catch the wind? (Can you see God, have you ever seen Him? I've never seen the wind I seen the effects of the wind But I've never seen the wind) Can you see the breeze? (There's a mystery to it) (repeat chorus) In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye (I see You there again) In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye (I know You'll meet me there my Friend) In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye (I know You're there, I can touch You there) In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye (I want You there, I need You there, I see You there, I know You care) (And I believe, and I believe, and I believe) |

"Alas my love, you say goodbye
Wipe the poison from my brow Alas my love, this guilty night It gives me up like a foster child And in this moment I take my vow These angels sleeping at my feet And in this moment you do not know how How my spirit wants to flee" You see it was one man against the night Taking on a multitude That had left Him high and dry No candle burning vigil could light the way Darkness hit the ground like a fallen satellite He wrestled until morning With human souls and dark angels And there He finished His work On the third day |

How long...how long...how long How long...to sing this song He placed my feet upon is rock And made my footsteps so firm Many could see Many could see and fear I will sing, sing a new song I will sing, sing a new song How long to sing this sing? How long to sing this song? How long...how long...how long How long...to sing this song |

Justifying, you turn it all to gray Synchronizing to society's ways Society has gotten to be all outta whack And don't bother with excuses whether white or black To blame it on a color won't get a result Because history reveals to me how ethics were lost In reality our decency has taken a plunge "in god we trust" is an american pun Funny how it happened so suddenly Hey yo fellas, kick the melody... Socially acceptable, it's okay, it's all right Socially acceptable, it's okay, in whose sight Socially acceptable Times are changing, with morals in decay Human rights have made the wrongs okay Something's missing, and if you're asking me I think that something is the g-o-d To label wrong or right by the people's sight Is like going to a loser to ask advice And by basing your plans On another man's way of living life Is creating a brand of ethics Sure to be missing the punch No count morals that are out to lunch They're sliding away cause everything is okay It was taboo back then but today ya say, Socially acceptable, it's okay, it's all right Socially acceptable, it's okay, in whose sight Socially acceptable, it's okay, it's all right Socially acceptable Yeah, yeah, yeah Here we go, here we go A come on, a come on Here we go, here we go A come on, a come on Here we go, here we go A come on, a come on Here we go, here we go A come on, a come on Everybody's doin' it Who's doin' it Everybody's doin' it Yo, who's doin' it Everybody's doin' it Who's doin' it Everybody's doin' it Yo, yo, yo, who's doin' it Ohhhh, alright Ohhhh, come on We gotta back to the principles found in the word A little g-o-d could be society's cure From the state that we're in cause again we're slipping So pray for america cause time is ticking Socially acceptable, it's okay, it's all right Socially acceptable, it's okay, in whose sight Socially acceptable, it's okay, it's all right Socially acceptable, it's okay, in whose sight Socially acceptable Socially respectable Socially acceptable Socially respectable |

(repeat choruses 1 and 2) Oppression was in session and my life was the term But when I heard about the Word I was willing to learn About a flavor I could savor and a brighter tomorrow Cause this could never be endeavored by a wish on a star The Father first receives us, the Truth then frees us Forgiven, now I'm living like a man full of Jesus It was hell until I fell upon my knees and prayed But now the yoke that I was totin' has been taken away (repeat chorus 1) Cause I'm free, free at last, free From my past, free from sin, and I'm free And down on my knees when my life passed me by And I ain't, no I ain't going back again F R to the E E L A to the S T Out of the darkness, the Father has sparked this The spirit's alive while the flesh is a carcass If you're seriously curious about my past Well I was once lost but I'm free at last I'm here to tell you what he did for me and I'm here to tell you that he set me free and I know that He can do the same for you, too He did it, I'm wit it, so come and get it Be free at last! (repeat chorus 1 x2) When all of God's children: black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics Will be able to join hands and Sing in the words of the old negro spiritual... (repeat chorus 1) Cause I'm free, free at last, cause I'm free I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, I'm free, I'm free Down on my knees when my life passed me by And I ain't, no I ain't going back again Thank God I'm free Free at last, free at last Thank God almighty we are free at last! |
