JERUSALEM (unreleased demo)
And in the street in ancient times
Walk upon England's mountains green.
And was the Holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen.
And did the countenance divine,
Shine for the pawn our clouded hills,
And was Jerusalem built in here,
Among the dark satanic mills.
Bring me my bowl of burning gold,
Bring me my arrows of desire,
Bring me my spear, oh clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire.
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.
And in the street in ancient times
Walk upon England's mountains green.
And was the Holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen.
And did the countenance divine,
Shine for the pawn our clouded hills,
And was Jerusalem built in here
Among the dark satanic mills.

JESUS IS THE SUNSHINE ON MY FACE (from
"Backroom Trax 4")
Jesus is the sunshine on my face,
Jesus is the sunshine on my face.
You're asking me what it could be
When you look into my face and see
It is His love, it is His light,
And you know it can be yours tonight.
He's in my soul and He's in my eyes
For you see that He has given me life.
The Son of God is what you need
Let Him live inside and you'll agree.
Jesus is the sunshine on my face,
Jesus is the sunshine on my face.
Jesus is the sunshine on my face,
Jesus is the sunshine on my face.
Oh how could I ever live without the water
And I how could I ever grow without the sun.
Oh I am the clay and Lord you are the potter.
Oh fill me with life that you and I might be one.
I ride the bus and I guess I must
Be illuminating you Lord because.
Some people turned and they smiled at me
It is You, oh Lord that they need to see.
And where I'm working I hear you call me
To pray for others and bless them all.
The more of you and the less of me
I can bring to others then let it be.
Jesus is the sunshine on my face,
Jesus is the sunshine on my face.
Jesus is the light that's in my eyes,
Jesus is the light that's in my eyes

JESUS LOVES THE CHURCH (from "Phil
Keaggy" & "Backroom Trax 2")
You say that You believe in us,
At times I wonder why
You say You see the Father in our eyes.
But I think if I were You, Lord,
I'd wash my hands today,
And turn my back on all our alibis.
And we crucify each other,
Leaving a battered, wounded bride,
But Jesus loves the church.
So we'll walk the aisle of history,
Towards the marriage feast,
For Jesus loves the church.
We fight like selfish children,
Vying for that special prize,
We juggle with our gifts before Your face.
And I know You look with sorrow
At the blindness in our eyes
As we trip each other half-way thru the race.
And we crucify each other,
Leaving a battered, wounded bride,
But Jesus loves the church.
So we'll walk the aisle of history,
Towards the marriage feast,
For Jesus loves the church.
I want to learn to love like You,
I don't know where to start,
I want to see them all but through Your eyes.
For You believed enough to live
Amidst the maddened crowd
Enough to die before our very eyes.
But we crucify each other,
Leaving a battered, wounded bride,
But Jesus loves the church.
And so we'll walk the aisle of history,
Towards the marriage feast,
For Jesus loves the church.
Yes we'll walk the aisle of history,
Towards the marriage feast,
For Jesus loves the church.
And as He hung in naked grief,
Bleeding for our crimes
He saw our fickle hearts and cried, I Love You.

JILL (from "Backroom Trax 6")
The new morning sun shines on your face,
The day has begun, the light you embrace,
The joy in your eyes is the work of His grace,
And you have a nitch to fill.
A kind word is spoken, a greeting to friends,
You love all God's creatures,
A life He commends,
And blessed is the child who listens
And lends an ear, that is such a skill,
My friend Jill.
Each day a pearl, and each pearl a prayer,
To still your heart in waiting there
Don't be weighed down
With worry or anxious care,
You have your dreams to fulfill, oh Jill.
The Lord lives within you,
And we'd be less without you,
The gift of the Christ child
Is all around about you,
And the Kingdom of Heaven
Belongs to those who want to
Come as a child at will, like my friend Jill.
Each day a pearl, and each pearl a prayer,
To still your heart in waiting there
Don't be weighed down
With worry or anxious care,
Cause you have your dreams to fulfill,
My friend Jill.
And he joy in your eyes is the work of His grace,
And you have a nitch to fill, Jill.

Tell me who's that writin', John the Revelator.
Tell me who's that writin', John the Revelator.
Tell me who's that writin', John the Revelator.
Wrote the book of the seven seals.
You know God walked down
In the cool of the day,
Called Adam by his name.
And he refused to answer
Cause he was naked and ashamed.
Tell me who's that writin', John the Revelator.
Tell me who's that writin', John the Revelator.
Tell me who's that writin', John the Revelator.
Wrote the book of the seven seals.
You know Christ had twelve apostles,
And three He led away.
He said watch with me while I walk
And I go yon and pray.
Tell me who's that writin', John the Revelator.
Tell me who's that writin', John the Revelator.
Tell me who's that writin', John the Revelator.
Wrote the book of the seven seals.
Well, Christ came on Easter morning,
Mary and Martha was down to see.
Go tell my disciples to meet me in Galilee.
Tell me who's that writin', John the Revelator.
Tell me who's that writin', John the Revelator.
Tell me who's that writin', John the Revelator.

JUST A MOMENT AWAY (from "Ph'Lip
Side")
He's just a moment away,
If you're looking for help, just call on His name.
You'll have to open the door
And He will come in, no He won't delay.
What He said is faithful, every word is true.
Just a moment away, if you ask He will stay,
Again I say, call on His name,
If you do, you're life will be changed.
Just like the air that you breathe,
He'll restore your life, though this life is brief.
Don't leave this moment behind,
Tomorrow may never come
And you didn't believe
What He said is faithful, every word is true.
Just a moment away, if you ask He will stay,
Again I say, call on His name,
If you do, you're life will be changed.
Why do the things that you don't want to do
When you can be changed?
A need for His love He has built
Right into your heart.
Are you a dying soul?
Others have died saying, "I'm in control."
Instead pray now, "Lord I believe,
Let me into Your heart, take me out of the cold."
What You said is faithful, every word is true.
Just a moment away, if you ask He will stay,
Again I say, call on His name,
If you do, you're life will be changed.

JUST THE SAME
(Released lyrics) (from
"Love Broke Thru")
Locked into a corner, up against a wall
I know you've been stumblin, trying not to fall.
I can feel your sorrow, I can share your pain.
I can hear the questions exploding in your brain.
Walking in the shadows, feeling all alone
Looking for the answer, rolling every stone.
Tears that run in silence and laughing in a game,
Though my eyes can't see you
I know we're much the same.
Much the same, much the same this way.
Much the same, much the same this way.
Miles may lay between us,
And rivers where the bend,
But near you is a brother,
In whom you can depend.
So share the weight with others,
And call upon His name.
Don't try to bear the load alone
Cause Jesus took the blame.
And He's just the same, just the same today.
And He's just the same, just the same today.

JUST THE SAME
(Original
Lyrics) (unreleased demo)
When Moses and his people
From Egypt's land did flee,
Their enemies behind them,
And in front of them the sea.
God raised the waters like a wall,
And opened up the way,
And the God that lived in Moses' time
Is just the same today.
When David and Goliath met,
The wrong against the right,
The Giant armed with human power
And David with God's might.
God's power with David slinging stone,
The Giant lowed he lay,
And the God that lived in David's time
Is just the same today.
Just the same, just the same today.
Just the same, just the same today.
When Pentecost had fully come,
And the fire from Heaven did fall,
The mighty wind, the Holy Ghost
Baptized them one and all.
Three thousand got converted
And were workers right away,
And the God that lived in Pentecost
Is just the same today.
Three thousand got converted
And were workers right away,
And the God that lived in Pentecost
Is just the same today.
Just the same, just the same today.
Just the same, we're just the same today.

Where He died for the lost.

LET EVERYTHING ELSE GO (from "Town to
Town" and "Way Back Home")
Chasing down hot air balloons on Sunday morning,
In pace with a familiar tune
I reach for nothing less, but something more.
All the day, and the wind is at my back most of the way.
Holding conversation with a friend I know is near,
Great anticipation fills my soul,
It fills my heart, it fills the air.
All the day, and the wind is at my back
Oh I can't wait to see you Jesus, face to face,
Nothing in this world can take Your place.
All the pride of man laid low,
And all his works of gold,
Nothing can compare with what You are,
Let everything else go.
Oh I can't wait to see you Jesus, face to face,
Nothing in this world can take Your place.
All the pride of man laid low,
And all his works of gold,
Nothing can compare with what You are,
Let everything else go.

LIFE LOVE AND YOU (from "Town to Town")
I have spoken to you on occasion when around,
Just in passing I find you in a crowd.
History repeats itself while I attempt to sound,
Hello, how are you,
As my words fall to the ground.
Though I never knew you very well I hoped I would,
Just by asking I'd find you in my heart.
And when you spoke His words to me
I knew and understood.
For life and love and you.
I'll be thankful as I should.
And I'm not a rolling stone, I've got a place,
I've got a home with you.
And I'm not a rolling stone, I've got a place,
I've got a home with you.
You have sorted through the many things
I've tried to say,
You found meaning, and you didn't turn away.
Deep appreciation wells within my heart today,
For life and love and you.
I'll remember you when I pray
I'll remember you when I pray
I'll remember you when I pray
And I'm not a rolling stone, I've got a place,
I've got a home with you.
And I'm not a rolling stone, I've got a place,
I've got a home with you.

LIFT YOUR HANDS (unreleased demo)
He made the mountains and He made,
He made the sea.
And He made the Heavens and the stars
For His glory.
And He called them out by name,
Yes He did, and they were there.
Aren't you glad that He cares?
Lift your hands, He'll meet you there,
He'll meet you there.
His inner sweet love,
Sweeter than the honeycomb,
And up there in Heaven He has prepared
For me a home.
And it won't be taken away, He told me so.
Aren't you glad that He cares?
Lift your hands, He'll meet you there,
He'll meet you there.
Now lift up your eyes and see,
See Him, see Him, see Him.
His love is perfect and His grace is sufficient
He is ever faithful to all who take a stand
Don't be afraid, don't be ashamed,
He wasn't that way.
Aren't you glad (I'm glad) that He cares?
Lift your hands, He'll meet you there,
He'll meet you there.
Now lift up your eyes and see,
See Him, see Him, see Him.

LIGHT OF MY VISION (from "Backroom Trax 6")
Walking on fast without changing my rhythm,
I'm moving on into the light of my vision.
Full of the sense of what lies beyond legend,
I'll take the high road in the light of my vision.
Though the way it turns but with countless illusions,
Keep looking on in the midst of confusion
Gathering tales of retreat come to haunt me
I'll carry on though a thousand may taunt me.
There are many hills lying on very lonely
Clouds round about as you notice me only
Living laughing soul is the one you possess here
And it may seem you're alone, lost and left here.
Though the ninety-nine are safe in the pasture,
He'll seek you out and He'll carry you back there.
Shepherd of the sheep and a caring physician,
Opening the eyes to the light of the vision.
Like a pilgrim's progress you nor I have
The will to live or the faith to die.
Apart from Heaven's helping hand
We can know the way into that land.
Though the way it turns but with countless illusions,
Keep looking on in the midst of confusion
Gathering tales of retreat come to haunt me
I'll carry on though a thousand may taunt me.
Carry on, carry on.
Though the ninety-nine are safe in the pasture,
He'll seek you out and He'll carry you back there.
Shepherd of the sheep and a caring physician,
Opening the eyes to the light of the vision.
Walking on fast without changing my rhythm,
I'm moving on into the light of my vision.
Full of the sense of what lies beyond legend,
I'll take the high road in the light of my vision.
Though the eyes grow dim with the years yet unfolding,
There is a window through which I'm beholding
A splendor, no matter would be my condition,
I'm seeing home in the light of my vision.

LIGHT OF THE LIVING {Psalm 56} (from "Backroom Trax 3")
When I am afraid I will put my trust

For Thou hast delivered my soul,
My feet from stumbling.
So that I may walk before God

LIKE AN ISLAND (from "Getting Closer")
Autumn of gold, bright colored leaves
Painted in the sky.
And you can behold love if you'll just believe
Or winter will make you cry.
Like an island in the sea
I'm drifting your way,
And you land next to me,
Will you stay the day?
And would you spend
Your whole life with me?
Fly here today, I'll tell you why,
Walk on through my door.
Counting the ways I love you today,
Five hundred and then some more, some more.
Like an island in the sea,
I'm drifting your way,
And you land next to me,
Will you stay the day?
And would you spend
Your whole life with me?

LITANY TO THE SPIRIT (from

KYRIE ELEISON, KYRIE ELEISON,
CHRISTE ELEISON
In the hour of my distress, when temptations me oppress
And when I my sins confess; sweet Spirit comfort me.
When I lie within my bed, sick in heart and sick in head…
And with doubts, discomforted, sweet Spirit comfort me.
When I'm tossed about...either with despair or doubt,
Yet before the glass be out, sweet Spirit comfort me.
When the tempter me pursues with the sins of all of my youth
And half-damns me with untruth...
Sweet Spirit, comfort me.
When the flames and hellish cries…
Frighten my ears and frighten my eyes…
And all terrors me surprise…
Sweet Spirit comfort me.
Now and at the hour, at the hour…
Sweet Spirit, comfort me.
When the judgement is revealed and that opened which was sealed,
When to You I have appealed;
Sweet Spirit, comfort me.

A LITTLE BIT OF LIGHT
(from
"Phil Keaggy")
I lie here staring at the starry night
Vincent Van Gogh you really got it right.
Your brush strokes paint the darkness in your life
Behind every brush stroke I find
A little bit of light..... a little light
The sound and fury kept me up all night,
Count no counts and feeling all uptight.
The struggle for the soul is a terrible fight.
Behind every word I find
A little bit of light.
It's a beautiful thing to see through the eyes
Of pain and heartache laid into the night.
You run from the darkness in this life,
But if you turn around you'll find
A little bit of light - a little bit of light.
The blackest sea would tell a tale
Of journeys the chosen few have prevailed.
The failing dream could reach the highest high
And love comes tumbling down
In a little bit of light - a little bit of light.
Don't forget the sunflower and the lilies fair
The spotted horses and that old black bear.
Laughter turns the tears we often cry
And joy comes crashing in
In a little bit of light
It's a beautiful thing to see through the eyes
Of pain and heartache laid into the night.
You run from the darkness in this life,
But if you turn around you'll find
A little bit of light - a little light.
It's a beautiful thing to see through the eyes
Of pain and heartache laid into the night.
You run from the darkness in this life,
But if you turn around you'll find
A little bit of light - a little light.

LITTLE ONES (from "Ph'Lip Side")
Who will speak up for the little ones?
Helpless and half-abandoned.
They've got the right to choose life
They don't want to lose,
I've got to speak up, won't you?
Equal rights, equal time, for the unborn children.
Their precious lives are on the line,
How can we be rid of them?
Passing laws, passing out
Bills and new amendments.
Pay the cost and turn about,
And face the young defendants.
Who will speak up for the little ones?
Helpless and half-abandoned.
They've got the right to choose life
They don't want to lose,
I've got to speak up, won't you?
Many come and many go,
Conceived but not delivered.
The toll is astronomical,
How can we be indifferent.
Little hands, little feet,
Tears for Him who made you.
Should all on earth forsake you now,
But He'll never forsake you.
Who will speak up for the little ones?
Helpless and half-abandoned.
They've got the right to choose life
They don't want to lose,
I've got to speak up, won't you?
Forming hearts, forming minds,
Quenched before awakened,
For so many deliberate crimes
The earth will soon be shaken.
Little hands, little feet,
Tears for Him who made you.
Should all on earth forsake you now,
But He'll never forsake you.
Who will speak up for the little ones?
Helpless and half-abandoned.

They don't want to lose,
I've got to speak up, won't you?

LITTLE STAR (from "Inseparable")
You have found a treasure;
Hold it now forever,
A prize we know so very hard to find.
There's nothing worth comparing;
And few know how to measure
The value of a peaceful, quiet mind.
Breathe within the heart of your desire
And listen to the words as you aspire.
Through fire, storm, wind, and rain
And broken dreams of yesterday,
You are where he wants you Little Star,
Close and within reach of where you are.
Rest assured in what you've heard,
Peace of mind, remain secure,
You are where He wants you Little Star.
Hear the voice and follow,
Find refuge in the hollow
Of the hand which touched this earth of old.
He speaks into the darkness,
And opens up a window,
And sends the light of life into your soul.
Breathe within the heart of your desire,
And listen to the words as you aspire.
Through fire, storm, wind, and rain,
And broken dreams of yesterday.
You are where He wants you Little Star,
Close and within reach of where you are.
Rest assured in what you've heard,
Peace of mind, remain secure,
You are where He wants you Little Star
You are where He wants you Little Star,
Close and within reach of where you are,
Rest assured in what you've heard,
Peace of mind remain secure,
You are still a child within His arms.
You are where He wants you Little Star,
Close and within reach of where you are.
Rest assured in what you've heard,
Peace of mind remain secure,
You are where He wants you Little Star.

Will be leveled to the ground
And look, cause every valley you see
Will be rising to the sound.
Just look, everybody take a better look.
Oh look, everybody take a better look.

Eight this morning I rolled out of bed,
I rose to the sound of music in my head,
You know I got a feeling it's something good
Breathe, take in all that you need,
The good life is all around you.
Breathe, cause every breath that you breathe,
Is a gift that can be found.
Just look, everybody take a better look.
Oh look, everybody take a better look.

I ate some dinner and I strolled down the block
I'm broke cause I'm living, I'm living on the rock
You know I got a feeling it's something good.
Reach, share with those who have need,
As you give, you will receive.
Reach, do you care for the needs of peace.
Cause you're giving to the King.

Oh look, everybody take a better look.

LOOK DEEP INSIDE (from "Getting Closer")
Do I believe that God is just,
Fair to each and every one of us?
Though it's hard to understand
All this suffering close at hand,
And all the children in the world.
Do I believe in His commands,
Do they appear to be just harsh demands?
Or meant to show us how to live,
And love supremely everyone of His,
Beloved children in the world.
In loving them we prove our love to Him.
Look deep inside,
What do you see with your eyes?
Upon our hearts He has inscribed
Holy to the Lord, Holy to the Lord on high.
Do I believe he has the right
To lead me through the darkest night?
And in the valley of despair,
Not just for me, but does He really care
For all His children in the world.
He sees beginning to the end,
And He's not to blame for how it's always been,
All we like sheep have gone astray
And we have turned from Him
And gone our own way.
Yes, all the people of the world
But He bought us back
And calls us home to stay.
Look deep inside,
What do you see with your eyes?
Upon our hearts He has inscribed
Holy to the Lord, Holy to the Lord on high.

LOOKING GLASS (from "Backroom Trax 5")
Every little child a gift from Heaven.
Every little face a gift, you see.
Take a little closer look and you'll notice
A little bit of you and a little bit of me.
We need to give them all our loving,
We need to teach them how to walk.
We need to be the right example.
Do they really see us practice what we talk?
Lives are as photographs,
Like pictures in a magazine.
Eyes through a looking glass unseen.
Everybody tell one another,
Children of the future we need.
Some to keep the faith of our fathers,
Passing on the message so others will believe.
We all need to raise the standard
So that our children can be free.
Why run the risk of losing everything,
If we should lose their trust, we'll lose our liberty.
Lives are as photographs,
Like pictures in a magazine.
Eyes through a looking glass unseen.
Lives are as photographs,
Like pictures in a magazine.
Eyes through a looking glass unseen.
Lives are as photographs,
Like pictures in a magazine.

LOOK IN THE SKY (from "Glass Harp")
And if you hear the wind blow,
The breeze can catch your eye,
And if you feel the sunlight straight from the sky,
Yeah, look in the sky you're under,
So many good things there lie ahead.
Yeah, look in the sky with wonder,
And hear what I said.
Your days will be filled with gladness
And many more things to come your way,
Away from the noise and madness,
All you have to do is pray.
And thank the Lord for everything,
But more than that,
Believe in His word.
And you will find peace and happiness,
Right out your front door.
Well, you need to be yourself,
And you need your self-keeping.
You need to be yourself,
So stop your weary weeping.
Some people, somewhere in this town around
Don't know what's right and what's wrong,
Are they lonely?
Stopping everywhere, doesn't have a care
Can't see the light, and they dare.
Are they lonely, they're lonely.
You looked in the sky with wonder,
And you can rest your head and sleep.
Wake up to the lightening and thunder,
You don't have to weep.

Until today when You pulled away the clouds
That hung like curtains on my eyes.
I was blind all these wasted years when
I thought I was so wise.
But then You took me by surprise.
Like waking up from the longest dream
How real it seemed
Until Your love broke through
And I was lost in a fantasy
That blinded me
Until your love broke through.
All my life I have been searching
For that crazy missing part
With one touch You just rolled away
The stone that held my heart,
Now I see that the answer was a simple
As my need to let love in
And I am so sure I could never doubt
Your gentle touch again
It's like the power of the wind.
Like waking up from the longest dream
How real it seemed
Until Your love broke through
And I was lost in a fantasy
That blinded me
Until your love broke through.

LOVE DIVINE (from "Crimson and Blue")
Never knew such a love could be found,
It's so amazing.
I can taste, I can feel, I can see,
For I am facing Love Divine
You are mine, let the world go walk on by.
Here I'll stay, let it rain,
Let it fall on me again.
Human words can't describe,
Can't define what's come upon me.
I attempt to make sounds,
For the whole thing's just beyond me,
Love Divine, you are mine,
You have found me just in time,
You are mine, all in all, Love Divine.
Love Divine, I'll hold You
In the center of my heart.
Love Divine, You made me see
That I can have a part
In this mystery, Eternity,
Will prove this from the start,
That You gave me all Your love, Love Divine.
Love Divine, I'll hold You
In the center of my heart.
Love Divine, You made me see
That I can have a part
In this mystery, Eternity,
Will prove this from the start,
That You gave me all Your love, Love Divine.

THE LOVE I LONG TO HOLD (from "Backroom Trax 3")
So long, I can take this just for so long
Goodbye, well you figured me out all wrong.
Did you say to me we were going on
Did you mean to say that the fire was gone?
So long, so long.
I was bout nearly gonna give it up
Then someone gave me a drink from a lovin cup
And said Hold on, hold on.
Out of the bleakest night comes hope,
And out of a stormy night
I raise to reach the love I long to hold.
My love, I can nearly see you my love
You called cause you know what I'm dreaming of.
Did I hear you say there was little time,
Did you say I heard I was on your mind?
Come on, come on.
I was so needy and could die of thirst
You gave me something to drink
When things were at their worst.
Come on, come on.
Out of the bleakest night comes hope.
And out of a stormy night
I raise to reach the love I long to hold.
Love I long to hold.
Love I long to hold.

MAKE A CHANGE (from "Play
Thru Me")
Don't paralyze, don't mesmerize,
Don't hypnotize, don't falsify.
Make a change, change your ways, always do right.
Right's never wrong, wrong's never right.
Play the game, game you might end up tonight,
There's a chance you may not survive.
Don't prostitute, don't exploit our youth,
No pornography, don't corrupt the truth.
Make a change, change your ways, always do right.
Right's never wrong, wrong's never right.
Play the game, game you might end up tonight,
There's a chance you may not survive.
No infanticide, no genocide,
No homicide, no suicide.
Make a change, change your ways, always do right.
Right's never wrong, wrong's never right.
Play the game, game you might end up tonight,
There's a chance you may not survive.
Let the Son of God give you life.

MAKER OF THE UNIVERSE (from "Way
Back Home")
The Maker of the universe,
As Man for man was made a curse.
The claims of Law which He had made,
Unto the uttermost He paid.
His holy fingers made the bough,
Which grew the thorns that crowned His brow.
The nails that pierced His hands were mined
In secret places He designed.
He made the forest whence there sprung
The tree on which His body hung.
He died upon a cross of wood,
Yet made the hill on which it stood.
The sky that darkened o'er His head,
By Him above the earth was spread.
The sun that hid from Him it's face
By His decree was poised in space.
The spear which spilled His precious blood
Was tempered in the fires of God.
The grave in which His form was laid
Was hewn in rocks His hands had made.
The throne on which He now appears
Was His for everlasting years.
But a new glory crowns His brow
And every knee to Him shall bow.

Micah 6:8 (unreleased demo)
What good is there that I can do?
How can I please you?
How can I please you?
He has called you a man
What is good
And what does the Lord require of you?
But to do justice, to love kindness
And to walk humbly with your God
Tell me what sacrifice can I give for you?
How can I please you?
How can I please you?
The works of my hands and the prayers of my heart
How can I please you?
How can I please you?
He has called you a man
What is good
And what does the Lord require of you?
But to do justice, to love kindness
And to walk humbly with your God
What shall I give unto the Lord?
How can I please you?
He has called you a man
How can I please you?
He has called you a man
How can I please you?
He has called you a man

THE MIRROR (unreleased demo)
You sit there and listen, I sit here and play
But I wonder sometimes
If the words and the lines
Just get lost on the way.
Reader to writer and poet to pen,
Still I go on in the hope
That a song's getting through
Now and again.
A song changes nothing, at least it can try
To give us a reason to look at our lives.
It changes nothing, at best it can try
To hold up the mirror of our lives.
We scatter our feelings like seeds that we sow,
But only God understands the heart of the man
In the twenty-fifth row.
You sit there and listen, I sit here and play,
But without love you've got nothing to hear
And I've got nothing to say.
A song changes nothing, at least it can try
To give us a reason to look at our lives.
It changes nothing, at best it can try
To hold up the mirror of our lives.

MISINFORMED MAN (from "Backroom Trax
3")
I was standing by watching a man throwing mud
In the direction of the sun today.
Like a flea on an elephant's knee it was odd.
Cause it didn't phase it anyway.
I was then surprised viewing a crowd gathered round
And a committee for the sun was made
To defend when these little hurt men carry on
So they drew their plans up in the shade.
Little misinformed man,
Can't you see it can take care of itself.
It was there long before you and I can't you see
That it can take care of itself.
Little misinformed man,
Can't you see it can take care of itself.
It was there long before you and I can't you see
That it can take care of itself.
I was sitting in hearing a prof using words
In an attempt to explain God away
Like a cloud without rain he was loud
But he gained not a thing for his unfoundedrage
I was then amused hearing a voice speaking out
In the direction of the prof that day,
And she meant well as she gave the man hell
But she lost cause it's more than what you have to say.
Little misinformed man,
Can't you see it can take care of itself.
It was there long before you and I can't you see
That it can take care of itself.
Little misinformed man,
Can't you see it can take care of itself.
It was there long before you and I can't you see
That it can take care of itself.
The fact remains and so does He,
You may agree or disagree
The day will come when every knee
Will bend and then all eyes will see the Son,
In all His glory, the Son.

MORNING LIGHT (from "Play Thru Me")
On a hill stands a cross, still shining fair,
As the sun when the night has turned into day,
Bright as day, still it shines bright as day.
And from it love's pure light,
Ever flowing to cleanse the heart, bring life,
Drive the sin far away,
See it wash it all away, far away.
To this cross eyes of men are ever turning,
Today just as they did in days gone by,
And for the love of God,
Their hearts are ever yearning
Like men at sea in search of morning light.
Awake, awake our hearts to hear the echos,
Your words resound at the dawning.
And all day we taste a love that is undying,
And all day in praise for the morning light.
To this cross eyes of men are ever turning,
Today just as they did in days gone by,
And for the love of God,
Their hearts are ever yearning
Like men at sea in search of morning light.
Awake, awake our hearts to hear the echos,
Your words resound at the dawning.
And all day we taste a love that is undying,
And all day in praise for the morning light.

MOTOR
OF LOVE (from "Inseparable")
I can't get over your love,
No matter how hard life seems.
There's a light in my dreams thanks to You.
My friends keep asking me why
There's such a smile on my face
There's a home at my place thanks
to You.
I won't take anything from You.
Turn on your motor of love.
Motor of love, motor
of love,
Heavenly Father, look down from above;
I can't get over your powerful motor of love.
I can't get over your love,
No matter how lost I feel.
I know my love is real thanks to You.
You simply reached out your hand,
And touched me deep in my soul,
Came in out of the cold, thanks
to You.
I won't steal anything from You
You give me more than enough.
Motor of love, motor
of love,
Heavenly Father, look down from above;
I can't get over your powerful motor of love.
There was a time when I was down and counted out.
Well, I remember I felt so bad,
I nearly threw away, nearly threw away the key.
Motor of love, motor of love,
Heavenly Father, look down from above.
Motor of love, motor of love,
Heavenly Father, look down from above,
I can't get over your powerful motor of love.
Powerful motor, stronger than the ocean...
Your motor of love, Your motor of love, Your motor of love,
Constantly turning, over and over.
Turn on Your motor of love.
Your motor of love, Your motor of love, motor of love.

MOUNTAINS (from "Glass Harp:
Synergy")
Mountains above the clouds don't leave us in despair.
If you hear our voices loud, you'll surely find us there.
The path takes us up above to help us find our way,
You can see that we're in love with your tomorrow day.
So if our lives come down below the surface near,
The sun is still up high that leaves us without fear.
And still the clouds below are patient if we're late.
Cause even though we're slow, the mountains will wait.
So if our lives come down below the surface near,
The sun is still up high that leaves us without fear.

MOVIE (from "Getting Closer")
There's a movie playing inside of your mind now.
You're reviewing many events in your life now.
There's a foolish tendency just to ignore it all,
And you do this knowing full well
There's a curtain call.
Saw a lot of empty days, eternity uncertain.
Concentrated on empty ways
To keep your head from hurtin.
There's a movie portraying the life of a user,
You're on TV, it's breaking your heart child abuser.
Does your conscious still have a voice,
Do you hear it at all?
Call it nonsense, you have a choice,
Do you fear at all?
Saw a lot of empty days, eternity uncertain.
Concentrated on empty ways
To keep your head from hurtin.
There's a movie playing inside of your mind now.
You're reviewing many events in your life now.
There's a movie playing inside of your mind now.
You're reviewing many events in your life now.
There's a movie playing inside of your mind now.
You're reviewing many events in your life now.

MY AUBURN LADY (from "Re-Emerging)
Auburn, 'tis the color of your hair
Ah Bern, how you smell so fresh and fair
Ah Bern, I am richer than a millionaire because of you
It's true, my auburn lady.
Ah Bern, I am stricken o'er again
Ah Bern, by your beauty my dear friend
Ah Bern, well you know how much I do depend on you
It's true, my auburn lady
Ah Bern, so faithful through the years
Ah Bern, through the laughter, through the tears
Ah Bern, through my dark insides and foolish fears
I knew, I knew ....
You to be a rock that I could cling to,
You to be a quiet place
When the world gets to loud
You to be the strength
When I'm falling down, falling down
When I've become to proud
When I've become to proud
Ah Bern, with the sky above your head
Ah Bern, on the road which we now tread
Ah Bern, I'm a better man because I said to you
I do, my auburn lady

MY LIFE (From "How The West
Was One")
Standing far off you look at me
Wondering if I'm real
Lend me an ear I'll sing you a song
And tell you how I feel
Do you have the time?
Very small boy, a very big family
Mom and Dad raised ten
Pap and my brothers rode motorcycles
But me a guitar in hand
I loved melody
Me and my little sister Geri, we grew up quite close
Most of our brothers and sisters were married
With families of their own
We were still at home
Geri went to school, I played rock and roll
In a band learning how to jam
I thought that this would be my life
Come Sunday morning we went to church
It was routine I knew
Most of the time my wandering mind
Was half asleep in the pew
Unaware of You
Thinkin' that I could find peace of mind
By what I'd say and do
Only to find that I'd become blind
And I didn't know the truth
High on the line
Dead end street ahead, I was being led to and fro
Where I did not know
I need someone to change my life
Gone on a weekend with fellow musicians
The second month of the year
It was quite cold and the roads were so icy
And my mind wasn't quite clear
Little did I know
That my momma was in a collision
She went to be with the Lord
I was so empty but soon I discovered
That there was hope and more
Someone prayed for me
Older sister took me to a minister
Who told me how I could be free
I found someone who changed my life
And Jesus was his name
He died upon the cross for me
Then He rose again
And I now I've got a melody
His love I want too proclaim.

MY UNSPOKEN WORDS (from "Phil
Keaggy")
There's a road I like to walk when the morning is brand new
And the only sound you hear is the earth beneath your shoe
In silence more is said, I pray you're listening, Lord.
Reach into my heart and hear the unspoken word.
The road leads up a hill whose path I used to know
Suddenly it's unfamiliar, I'm not sure where it will go.
So I'll wait for just a while, You know just where it hurts
Oh assure me that you hear my unspoken words.
Eternal light shine and still lead me home
Grant me sight til I'm where I belong.
Though I've been gone a while wandering alone,
In the distance there's a light I recognize as home
And You have lead the way and brought me safe towards
That place where I can speak my unspoken words.
Eternal light shine and still lead me home
Grant me sight til I'm where I belong.
Eternal light shine and still lead me home
Grant me sight til I'm where I belong.
