(I got something for you, man)
(Go for a ride) Bombarded by philosophies that satisfy the surface I flee to something deeper At the risk of seeking purpose How can I hang in this environmental state of being When everything I'm striving for Is nothing that I'm seeing (chorus 1) Won't You take my heart, won't You take my soul Won't You come and make me whole again You, You've got what I need and You never retreat Unto You I will concede (chorus 2) So help me God To put my faith in You So help me God Before I come unglued Call it my addiction I can't get enough of You So help me God To put my faith in You Infected by the skin I'm in this starving with desire And Jesus ain't the latest thing to come across the wire I throw myself at mercy for I am the chief of sinners But daily taking up my cross Has brought it's share of splinters You're there when I call And You're there when I fall Even though I don't deserve it all You, You light my way Through the night and the day And from You I will not stray (repeat chorus 2) (vamp) (repeat choruses 1 and 2) God so help me This is my soul plea I'm desperately devoted I can't get enough of You So help me God Cause You are the one I love Cause You are the one I need (I need you) Cause You are the one I'm seeking (Every single day) Cause You are the one for me (I just walked into a meet in 3... And everybody's starin' at me... I gotta go) |

(1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4)
Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, sir I couldn't help but note your shade of melanin I tip my hat to the colorful arrangement Cause I see the beauty in the tones of our skin We've gotta come together And thank the Maker of us all We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place We're colored people, and they call us the human race We've got a history so full of mistakes And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace (1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4) A piece of canvas is only the beginning for It takes on character with every loving stroke This thing of beauty is the passion of an Artist's heart By God's design, we are a skin kaleidoscope We've gotta come together, Aren't we all human after all? We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place We're colored people, and they call us the human race We've got a history so full of mistakes And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace Ignorance has wronged some races And vengeance is the Lord's If we aspire to share this space Repentance is the cure (1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4) Well, just a day in the shoes of a color blind man Should make it easy for you to see That these diverse tones do more than cover our bones As a part of our anatomy We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place We're colored people, and they call us the human race We've got a history so full of mistakes And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace We're colored people, and they call us the human race (Oh, colored people) We're colored people, and we all gotta share this space (Yeah we've got to come together somehow) We're colored people, and we live in a tainted world (Red and yellow, black and white) We're colored people, every man, woman, boy, and girl (Colored people, colored people, colored people, colored people, yeah) |

Brennan Manning: 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 cannot 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 And 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? |

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 |

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 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 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 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 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 t 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 In my mind's eye I see Your face In my mind's eye |

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, |

"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 |

Separated, I cut myself clean
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? I don’t really care |
