(2009) The King's Return
2.) Not A Sermon, But A Sample Sorry that I can get so mean and sarcastic I can say the most unbelievable things Sorry that my manners aren't all that fantastic I can't say I've lived all those songs that I sing It's easier to write a song than live a life like Yours (Chorus:) And not just be a sermon, but a sample To not just show the way, but walk with someone To prove that though life can be quite a handful Your love will help us to overcome
1.) New Beginning Look at the signs of the (Dm) times: (G) hunger, war, disease and (C) crime (Am) Blinded guides leading the blind mistaking darkness for the light
Sorry that I'm not always friendly and gentle My sense of humor's a back-firing gun Sorry for the times I've left feelings dismantled & all I cared for was me having fun It's easier to tell a joke than heal a wound like Yours (Ch.)
It's getting late, it's comin' our way Don't hesitate to help God set things straight Change is rolling in, so let's open the gate (Ch.:) Yes, the (C) End's coming (G) soon and with it (F) a new be(C)ginning with it (F) a new be(C)ginning: God's new (Am) Kingdom and (G) rule Yes, the (C) End's coming (G) soon and with it (F) a new be(C)ginning with it (F) a new be(C)ginning: God's new (G) Kingdom and (C) rule
Yes, the Peace Train will arrive after mankind's darkest night Knowing the Author of Life We will finally see the light You can be free if you want to be But there's no one so blind as those who refuse to see Love is coming in, coming for you and me (Ch.) (Rep. Ch. in D-A-G-D-G-D-Bm-A D-A-G-D-G-D- A – D)
(Bridge:) There's more to life than our selfish adventures There's more to find than our place in the sun There's more to learn here than how to give lectures There's more at stake here than fun: Learning to love someone (Ch.) 3.) Asking You Why? - I'm asking you why must you always defy the One Who came to die for you, the One Who won't lie? Please, tell me why - why all the force and the strain the hunger and pain, innumerable faces, tears falling like rain? I'm asking you why all the killing and hate as if it was our fate to keep running away from love until it's too late? Just tell me why, I'm asking you why is it so hard to brak down this despicable wall of abominable pride?
Why is it too hard to say that you keep looking for answers, solutions, results you won't accept anyway? I'm asking you why, if you're so God-damn smart, you keep breaking God's heart by rejecting His love, defying Him all the way? Just tell me why, before I'm gonna go, is your one single answer to the most precious chance you'll ever get always "no"? I'm asking you why, just tell me why are you so in love with death that you must strangle love's breath before it can come to life? 4.) Farewell Mr. President This is a song for you, though it's a song you'll never hear The man who's wrecked & ruled "the greatest nation in the world" for 8 long years Oblivious to the facts, oblivious to how it feels to have lost a son in Iraq for some greedy, old men's petrol deals I wonder who'll wipe off that grin from your mischievous monkey face You're wading knee-deep in your sins, the blood of thousands on your hands Of all the hypocrites I've seen you were the one that takes the cake Farewell, Mr. President!
You sure fulfilled your daddy's dreams: that New World Order's rolling in Cause, after all, what have you been than a mere puppet to their schemes? And best of all, you've done it all in the Name of the One you hate Cause you were taught not to repeat the one mistake your daddy made The hypocrites fell for you the way that brand of people do But me, I see right through your wicked smirk, oh, yes, I do Farewell, Mr. President! So now you're leaving with a bang, the way that big-shot people do to leave another man to hang in the place you have left him to
I suppose history will show what you did, who you were for real Perhaps our grandchildren will know what all you schemers now conceal But in a long, black list of fools, I think you'll be and always will the most pathetic one of all to me Farewell, Mr. President! War is your game, war has been your creed Though it's sure as hell not you who fight, no you let other people bleed The wind you have sown, the storm you will reap So, come on get down off your thrown, make room for yet another creep "We won't get fooled again," is that what we really believed? But then we'll believe anything, anything - you screwed us over in our sleep Farewell, Mr. President! Sure had us fooled again Farewell, Mr. President! Don't come around again
5.) Never Alone So who are you? Good souls are few. I've spent my life looking for diamonds in the rough Suppose it is true, there's nothing new The things that life hands us can be pretty tough Slowly, real slowly I'm starting to crawl up that lowly old mountain of life Nothing is holy when the only rule is our struggle to merely survive So, who are you? Nice you made it, too Guess now there's two of us heading for the light The wind is cold and I'm feeling old And I've learned friendship's all too easily sold Foolish, so foolishly see all those brutish men running their races of life Where is the music that used to come to me when nothing else seemed to be right? So who are You? Could it be true? That there is someone who'd show me the way Home? Not many or few, Jesus only You are the One Who will never leave me alone I'm not alone…. Never alone
6.) T.W.O. The truth is, they're telling you lies my friend The truth is, you wouldn't believe me to what extent They're making the true heroes look like creeps What they call "news" is mostly make-belief While most of us fall in their trap like sheep but I can show you the way out I'll show you the way out The truth is, the world was no accident, it was planned The truth is, there is a God and He loves you, my friend While everything else will be blown away His love and His truth will be here to stay No matter how badly you've lost your way cause I can show you the way out I'll show you the way out
We're not on vacation, there are souls to be freed Do not be deluded but cling to the truth So He'll know you're His when He'll come for you (Chorus) (Bridge:) And (G) though the road's rough and the (D) journey is long (Am) keep your light pure and your (Em) heart filled with song Let (G) your mind be clear and your (D) faith ever strong on this (Am) long, (C) long (D) road back (Em) Home (D-C-D) (Chorus) 8.) Perfect People
You turn on the TV or pick up the paper and all that they sell you is lies But if you look up to the Man on the cross and believe in Him, you won't ever die
Anyone can love perfect people perfect people are so easy to love if ever such a thing there was as perfect people give me perfect people, they're so easy to love
The truth is, He loves you so much that he died for you The truth is, Jesus alone's gonna see you through Even if your life looks like a dead end street He's gonna put you back on your feet Just take Him and He's gonna set you free Cause He will show you the way out He'll show you the way out He'll show you the way out He'll show you the way out
Everybody wants to have perfect people, perfect people are so easy to have around you've got a reason to laugh with perfect people yes only perfect people that's what I want to have
7.) The King's Return You (Em) can't win a (D) battle (C) halfhearted(B7)ly nor has any drifter yet crossed the sea That glorious crown isn't won easily So fight on, my brother, for the victory (Chorus) (G) Look toward the day when our (D) King will come back Don't let (Am) shiny temptations get (Em) you off the track He'll give you everything you'll ever lack So shine on, brother, (Ds4) let your light (C) burn un(D)til He re(Em)turns (D-C-B7)
Everybody wants to be like perfect people Yes, perfect people will just do right for me just like the ones on TV, such perfect people cause with perfect people, that's what I'll be Life can be a lonely place full of perfect people those perfect people are so tiring to chase perfect bodies, perfect face, such perfect people less than perfect people belong in outer space 9.) Immanuel The Lord Himself will give you signs: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a Son and they will call Him Immanuel For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, the government rests on His shoulders. And he will be called Immanuel
This world lies in darkness, no light do they see
Wonderful Counselor Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
10.) Largo (Music: G.F.Haendel, original Italian lyrics: unknown, English and Spanish translation: Dave Mendoza)
Oh my sweet Lord I feel you inside Oh, Lord, the peace You give Courage envelops me When You are near God, come live in me I want to lay me down Here in the soft green grass My saving Love No, don’t leave me, Lord Please, don’t forsake me, Lord Light and life of my heart Let me hope to bask in the beating of Your heart Please, don’t forsake me, Lord O mi Señor Te siento en mi Señor, cual paz me das me envueleve el animo cuando me hablas Dios, vien, vive en mi quiero hundirme aqui dentro de Tu calor salvante Amor No me dejes, no No me dejes, Senor Luz de mi corazon Solo en tu latido puedo esperar en Ti quiero estar

11.) Agua, Fuego, Tierra y Viento
(Capo 3 fret: Em-D-Cmaj7-B7…)
(Em) Tantas vidas (D) bajo el mismo (Em) sol Aprendiendo a vi(D)vir en paz y a(G)mor En este gra(Am)nito de (B7) un planeta Tantos personajes bajo el sol Intentando llevarse y otros no Cada vida distinta de la otra (Cmaj7) Tantas difer(D)encias cada cual Unos hacen bien y otros mal La rasa humana haci(B7)a su Padre
Agua, fuego, tierra y viento bailando estan aqui Agua, fuego, tierra y viento en todo lo que se (Cmaj7) ve Aprenden com(D)o vivir juntos De la distancia no se ven las diferencias existiendo Entre planetas y estrellas Mas si te acercas ya veras todo es creacion de Dios Con sus particularidades Agua, fuego, tierra y viento estan bailando aqui Agua, fuego, tierra y viento en todo lo que se ve Aprenden como vivir Mira bien por tu ciudad y toda la diversidad Que hay entre la gente que ves en todo lugar Hay orgullo y humildad, hay mentira y verdad Impostores y ninos de la sinceridad Uno alto y otro no, hay que corre y el lento Aprendemos ser lo que seremos, tu y yo Gente de juego y musica otros nunca juegan ya Trabajando para las riquezas alcanzar Hay corderos mansos, otros son violentos Todos somos diferentes, nadie es igual Negros, rojos, blancos, timidos y francos Dejemos de pelear, vivamos siempre en harmon(E)ia De eso se (A) trata estar (B) aqui en (E) este lugar (Cmaj7) Aperender a(D)mar el uno al otro (Estr.)
12.) Du bist alles (Ref.:) Du bist größer als ich, das ist mir heut' klar Du bist mehr als alles was ich je besaß Deine Liebe wird in meiner Schwäche stark Du bist alles was ich brauche Du bist alles was ich hab' Einst sah ich so was wie meinen Feind in Dir Kein Rivale, eher so was wie'n hohes Tier Du da oben und ganz klein hier unten wir Bis Du mir zeigtest, das war nur ein Hirngespinst von mir Denn wer und was Du wirklich bist wird mir erst langsam klar
Seitdem ich weiss wie sehr ich frueher auf dem Holzweg war Und dass ich jetzt erst lebe (Ref.) Oft geht's uns nur drum zu zeigen wir sind stark Wir definier'n uns mit dem was jeder zu tun vermag Viel zu spät wird klar, dass dort der Haken lag Wir ignorieren Dich und Deine Güte jeden Tag Und wer und was du wirklich bist wird uns erst langsam klar wenn wir beginnen einzuseh'n dass Du es wirklich warst der uns das Leben gab (Ref.) (2x) Du bist alles was ich hab’ Du bist alles fuer mich
