Live and undrugged six years and countin'
Believer in Christ, Yes, yes, the blessed fountain Apologetic warrior, chalk one up for the visitors Casting fiercesome light into the shadows of midnight To the underground we descend With our whole generation to defend Got a whole army on my case, Got the devil in my face 'Cause that punk knows when's the end Unite, ignite and spark a light to burn so bright the Sight will blind the blind of this our modern time. O yeah, I got a beef with the fence-sitters Tiers among the wheat, the cop-outs, the quitters Cut from the branch fruitless, no good, Only one use and that's firewood Pay no mind to the generation line Forsake your sect and be color blind The problem's not Hollywood, the problem's not Washington The problem's a weak divided church of schizmed Christians. Never going back the the darkness I was damned in Now I turn my back on the place that I was found in Flick a match on Babylon, burn baby burn Raised my mind for all this time and now it's your turn Got enough gasoline and plenty o' matches Finally I'm free and I shake off the ashes From the city of refuse, I refuse to pay dues To you, not me, and none of the free and the few. |

Killin' ourselves faster than fast
Livin' in the future, livin' in the past I haven't always been in Christ I know what you're goin' through, man A couple of years ago I was just like you Lookin' for answers, but lookin' to myself Thinkin' that Christians just love Jesus for their health But, I didn't know about Jesus I tried to be like God, but when I tried I failed And every time I fail, and fail I know I rail a nail straight into the cross of Jesus Straight into the wrist of Jesus And now it's 1996, a hard year to be a Godly man It seems the more I speak The Word, the less they understand You gotta know about Jesus |

(Verse 1)
I've meant to do this for some time I've gotta get it right this time This time my God I will be Yours, All my heart, my soul, and mind Been so long since I truly smiled But You touched my heart today Reached through my mind of mud and mire Consumed the idols in Your way (Chorus) So I am brand new Today, I make my resolution Today, I make my resolution Today, I make my... Today, I make my resolution Today, I make my... Looking back the way I used to be (Verse 2) Been down so long that is seems like up, I took it now I've had enough Of the life that I've been livin' It feels so cold this far away So today I will make a change I will make a change today Purge my mind of mud and mire Cast all my gods away (Chorus) (Bridge) It was just me and God Can I be there again? (Ending) Today I make my resolution. Today I make my resolution. Today I make my... Today I make my resolution. Today I make my... Today I make my resolution. |

Every now and then I have a moment of authentication
Reveals the man inside me like illumination Trial by fire purification The day I die is the day that it's done You might not realize when it comes And only overcome it by the grace of the Son. Just try to stand your ground take it head on Every moment in my life comes down to this one At a fork in the road only two ways to go The one untraveled and the one that you know The broad and the wrong or the tight and the right So die in the dim or fight in the light So it comes down to this Jesus Christ was betrayed by a kiss Judas when he faced his moment he failed Imprisoned in hell with a bail of three nails This is what it comes to It's me against my desires and inclinations Pass through the fire into salvation Bring water to the thirsty like irrigation When you go toe to toe you don't go one on one But Christ in my place in substitution Showed me His grace's propitiation Heard the devil laugh and he thought he had won But then came the comeback and resurrection Listen everybody may I please have your attention Only the wise will accept instruction Fools laugh at knowledge and reject wisdom Inevitably leading to destruction Now it's on you it's your decision The forecast of the future is confrontation The beast or the King like revelation A battle for your soul like armageddon |

I strike back like the empire
and we'll televise the revolution. What will save you From divine retribution? Do our part, try to make a contribution Playin' at 11, givin' OC noise pollution. Think long and hard about our world today... what needs to be said, and what I need to say. We're a tower of Babel built on anti-philosophy, Neitzche in the west and Krishna in the east. War rages on through generations. All of these Christians abandoned their stations. A whole world around us, and we've ceased to reach. An army of soldiers, we've neglected to teach. But, it's dim and not pitch black. The truth will prevail. If our God is for us, how can we fail? No surer hope has ever been rested. But for our adversary's worthy, prepare to be tested. Hoo, Hah. How will you stand if you don't understand? Hoo, Hah. Fight like a man, scriptures in hand. And here we stand naked, barehanded futily prepared for the blows to be landed. Presuppositions is all you can stand on. Can you twist their wrist when they lay a hand on? Learn how to fight from words on a paper. learn from the shoguns, Bahnsen and Schaeffer. Invincible army, Holy Spirit our general. Weapons are formed form most precious of minerals. Kids in universities, drowning in an ocean of apostate philosophy. We need apologetic instruction... mental reconstruction. Ignorance reduction, to halt the mass abduction. Evangelical mind has been scandalized. Wisdom and truth have been vandalized, by the unevangelized. No truth in a world that is randomized. Expose the lies no matter how they're disguised. |

I wanna do the right thing.
I wanna be the sure shot. I wanna have my mind straight. I wanna have my point got. I wanna be a good man, I wanna have my act down. I wanna be the future and I wanna be right now. Sometimes I feel like I can change the world. But I don't know where to start. I dig and come up empty, clutching an empty heart. I wanna see a life change. I wanna see a new man. I wanna fight the good fight. I wanna take the right stand. I wanna be like Jesus. I wanna pour my heart out. I wanna pick my cross up. I wanna hear the mob shout. I'm wide awake and thinking about the cross, the Trinity apart. I dig and come up empty, clutching an empty heart. I wanna do the right thing. I wanna be the sure shot. I wanna have my mind straight. I wanna have my point got. I wanna be like Jesus. I wanna pour my heart out. I wanna pick my cross up. I wanna hear the mob shout. Sometimes I feel like I could change the world. But I don't know where to start. I dig and come up empty, - I'm wide awake and thinking about the cross, the Trinity apart. I dig and come up empty, - clutching an sacred heart. |

5 am on Tuesday
Why am I up so early Drive out to Santa Ana 'cause I've got jury duty No breakfast short tempered And I cut my head shaving Ten miles out I hit traffic Some days just aren't worth saving You know I haven't had the best of days But I want to stop and thank you anyway At the courthouse I waited And waited then I waited At lunchtime my car stalled out I couldn't get it started Had a book by c.s. lewis I finished the last page and Slept on my desk for three hours Just like my high school days Cuz every single moment whether sleeping or awake Is your creation And what you've made is good I don't always thank you for the rough days and The hard times in my life Even though I should Got home and decided I'd be in a bad mood My shy and quiet wife said she didn't like my attitude Got a call from my mother Forgot my sister's birthday I'm a lousy older brother safe to say I've had a bad day |

Well I'm as ugly as sin, that is to say I'm not good lookin'
But I can bust some ska, in fact the rhythm rhyme is cookin' Brighten up your soul and loosen up your brain Make my heartbeat all fast like the girl from plain Jane Now please allow me to proceed and bust my rude boy flow On the underground scene at the underground show Grownups, kids and inbetweens I guess it takes all kinds 'Cause I guess we got true love, my blood, my blood true love is blind One purpose is to worship and to make the body strong I don't care about your haircut, can't we all just get along? Not just get along, but to really love and care If your eyes are on the Lord you can't see nobody's hair Adonai Adonai! Well I don't claim to be a rhymin' apparatus I don't want to be a gangster, I don't want to be the baddest I ain't no Al Pacino and I ain't no Al Capone I'm just a rude boy with a new toy Add two speakers and a microphone So listen up, listen up and make sure that you can hear me I'm your brother and I'm your friend so come on and get near me I'm a sinner just like all of you don't make me into an idol I'm a preacher, I'm a saint and sinner, guess I fit the titles Gotta keep a humble heart, because my good is not enough Jehova Jireh gotta give the glory up up up To Y'shua me salvitore Gotta give you all the glory God, I give you all my fears God I give you all my years You're my God and I will bow, I'll show all the proud people how You're my God and I will bow, in fact I think I'll bow right now Adonai Adonai! |

Say, you got a minute friend?
Because I'd like to tell you something. You may think nothing of it, but wait...you're gonna love it. What if I told you I held the one true philosophy? Would you hear me out or just turn your back and laugh at me? Lord, I just don't understand this strange creature You call man. Who thinks he lives by his own hand, but I know. There's no life away from You. So I will remain still and silent, for fear of the words I might say. And am I still in my defiance, when I'm trying so hard to obey? |

(Verse 1)
Open the eyes of my heart, Lord Open the eyes of my heart I want to see You I want to see You (Chorus) To see You high and lifted up Shining in the light of Your glory Pour out Your power and love As we sing holy holy holy (Bridge) Holy holy holy Holy holy holy Holy holy holy I want to see You |

Keep both my eyes transfixed on the prize
A high-rise to the blue skies my piece of the pie There's a hole in my heart that I know how to fill That's to light my cigarettes with a hundred dollar bill It's all about cash flow the California dream To make the grade you gotta make the green My friend I'm the champion I've no time for losers Never ask for nothin 'cause beggars can't be choosers Lookin' our for number ones's a full time occupation I'll give to me myself and I my own salvation Some people try to tell me God can save me from my sin But God can take a number and I'll pencil Him in Busy oh so busy I got no time to search My Sunday's are all booked I've got no time for church That's for those poor souls, dry as a stone God bless this child 'cause this child's got His own. Oh, let my pride fall down I'm a little man He who gets the most toys and dies is the winner I'm livin' the high life with lobster tail dinners My Lexus, my yacht, my gold chains and rings These are a few of my favorite things But most of all I keep my billfold the closest to my heart House decorated with million dollar works of art Roll with the Bigwigs they think I'm the man But then I stop and look and think about how big I really am Mammon is an unforgiving God, I cast him away I live my life to God, not to get paid Money can't save your soul, don't think I can I look to God and I feel like a little man. |

There ain't no stopping us now
I'd like to say that from the outset Not up in this business just to get what we can get But bet that We gonna bring it to you loud and clear How loud I gotta say it 'fore you people start to hear I can name our problems But I know a solution Bring back the revolution. The revolution comes and we all stand as one Rises from the darkness and shines like the sun As the sun gets higher, our church catches fire Down from our pride and up from the mire. It's a dream that I've had and I hope it comes true I forgot to say the revolution starts with you. See wisdom and knowledge is one thing that we lack You've been a Christian how long and you're still on Similac So I call on Martin Luther and all the reformation back Then the common people couldn't read God's revelation You had to be a monk or a priest or read Latin That was all before the revolution happened But the fire cooled down ever since that generation We put down the Bible and pick up the Playstation And we can't defend our faith 'cause we don't even know it We say we love his word but pick a funny way to show it. The world walks by and we don't have a thing to say I call 'em as I see 'em And that's what I see today Chorus: The revolution returns The reformation lives on The great awakening is now Sleepers open your eyes A war is on, our rally cry is no compromise No compromise, yeah, no compromise A war is on, our battle cry is no compromise So throw your fist up and pray the revolution rise A war is on, our rally cry is no compromise Our hearts have grown so cold And we've such numb souls But shirts and bumper stickers Man we got 'em by the truckload Is true religion what you have around your wrist What does the scripture say of this "They honor me with words But their hearts are far away" I call 'em like I see 'em And that's what I see today So I call on John Edwards Who preached us all awake We try to be emotional but here is our mistake As a church we lack repentance and we lack true affection Not only in our minds but our hearts need correction And man that's true religion, resignation and contrition To love each other so much that we'd die before division (Chorus) So what about you Will you join us Will you admit that the waters around us have grown You better start swimming or you'll sink like a stone Do you stand with us or do we stand alone It's time that we stand up, enlist for the war I've tasted battle and now I want more I've known the truth and been cut to the core But I'm back in the game to even the score And I mean to go out with both my guns blazing Amazed at a God who's so truly amazing To triumph in battle as the spirit enables Can't turn back the clock but we can turn the tables (Chorus) |

(Verse 1)
Woke up this morning And I just had to thank God for my life Just read through James' book Start to pray and I ask God for a wife* It's a time of devotion As I sit and speak to my God unseen Why should He listen? Well I love Him and He's in love with me (Chorus) Why me God? Why should You choose me? On your team God, can You use even me? (Verse 2) I think a few years back On a road that headed to nowhere Now that You found me I can see that You were always there So great a salvation But to You my Jesus what am I worth? It's quiet times like this I feel I get a glimpse of Heaven right here on earth (Chorus) Why me God? Why should You choose me? On your team God, can You use even me? (Bridge) Oh, hold me in your arms of love Sometimes I swear I feel your heartbeat I could never ever thank You enough But here's my life for whatever it's worth *This line can either be: Start to pray and I ask God for a wife or Start to pray and thank God for my wife |

It seems like everything I touch just falls to pieces
It seems like everyone I help just falls And how I need someone to make me feel assured I don't need anyone if You're on my side, Lord And I say, hey, who can be against me? No matter how hard I try I always fail I'll never be like Christ I know I'll struggle until the day, the very day I die And how I need someone to make me feel assured I don't need anyone if You're on my side, Lord And I say, hey, who can be against me? God look at me, I'm just a man But You tell me I'm not just a man You're so hard to understand, after all I'm just a man God you tell me not to doubt But I'm always plagued by doubt And You always help me out I'm so ashamed(of my doubt) |
