The Dave Mendoza Songbook
(1991) One Moment In Heaven
& all my pleas for you to believe are met with cynical laughter But if eternity's an ocean then this life's just a tea spoon's portion of it all, friend, can't you see? You can show off with your latest model of a BMW take me to your favorite golf club every Sunday afternoon You can treat me nice with color slides of your trips to Honolulu but fulfill that yearning, aching void inside your cold & empty heart, they'll never do (chorus)
2.) The Ambassador
1.) Life Is Deeper You can give me your phony smile & tell me you're alright You can even tell me you're satisfied with the way you drink away your nights You can tell me your stories of how happy you once were but a look into your eyes shows me that there's a deep desire in you for something more (Chorus:) Life is deeper, much deeper than some people confess That is why they all live in such a superficial mess There is more to, much more to life than people admit It is more than playing poker, drinking beer or watching football on your tv set You can give me your party life & pretend you're living high & I congratulate you for the different one you lay almost every other night You can call it relaxation or satisfaction of some kind But if that's what you call happiness, my friend, I really must confess you're far from right (chorus) (Bridge:) But you just wonder how I can believe in the hereafter
3.) My Melody You say you know me by the way I walk categorize me by the way I talk I'm just a gypsy beggar you can mock & that's alright with me You judge me by the way I sing my song & whisper to your friend, that note was wrong She answers, and his nose is much too long! What kind of freak is he?
(Chorus:) But I Just sing you my melody a love song that could set your spirit free And even though perhaps you don't like me just one or two minutes, couldn't you listen? Cause I don't wanna be the star of the show I just want one thing & that's let you know that there's Someone above you who loves you more than you know
5.) The Veil
You say attention's what he's looking for Or, he's just after money, & that's all Why don't you tell him to get on the ball & go to work like we? And all the while you try to analyse how could you ever even realize that in my song a secret message lies how could you ever see? (Chorus)
4.) Country of the Damned
6.) One Moment In Heaven
7.) Love Doesn't Care What People Say I've got a feeling, an honest opinion an inner conviction to stand up for what's right For there have been times I listened to people caring too much what they'd call wrong or right Now set me free, Lord. Help me to be what You want me do be and not care what they say For I must be free, Lord. & know what I'm here for And see it through no matter what price I have to pay (Chorus :) Love doesn't care what people may say It just keeps on loving the one anyway Though thousands may try to toss you off the brink No, love doesn't carfe what people think Sometimes I doubt and sometimes I waver struggling to bring out the words on my heart No compromise, no truth mixed with lies will ever succeed to turn darkness to light Help me to be bold now. a messenger sold out on what I'm proclaiming wherever I go So I'll be a fighter, willing as a martyr to live and do die for the truth that I know ( Chorus ) Cause if you really love someone you're afraid of losing You'll tell them the truth even though if may hurt An honest foundation makes the best relations Keep sharing your heart with the world everyday
8.) I WAS DEAD (Em/f#)I still remember it as clearly as if it happened (D)just today: (Em/f#)I was driven in my car when suddenly this truck rolled up a(D)cross my way, (Am)It was to late to brake, and all I could do was cry (G/A)out and pray & the (Am)next thing I re(C)member (D)was the (Em/f#)crash (Em/f#...)I somehow knew that I was dead, though I remember I was feelin' great Then I heard people scream and someone by the car wreck said, 'It is too late' when I looked over there to see what he meant I thought that (Em)I would faint, for the dead man lying on the ground was me
and (Am) that's when I (G) realized (C) I was feelin' (Dm) just so light and (F)hoverin' right a(Dm7) bove a nearby (Gs4) tree (G) (Am) I felt like (G) I could fly and (C) yelled, 'Hey, I (Dm) didn't die' though (F) no one heard me, (Dm) I just felt so (Gs4) free (G) (Chorus:) I was (Am/B) dead and am a(G/A)live again I was (Am/B) dead and am a(G/A)live again and when (F) I came back my (G) whole life was (Am/B) changed (Em/f#)...As I soared up into the evening sky suddenly I saw Some former loved ones who had passes away and left this World long ago They greeted me and told me not to be afraid or worry anymore as they led me through a passage of light beyond the tunnel I saw golden light, as bright as I had never seen A shiny City full of flowers of new colours, rolling hills of green As we drew nearer I was welcomed by a bright, angelic, shining Being and I felt such warmth and love I'd never known and (Am)...then, in a moment's time He showed me all my life and all I'd ever done, good, wrong or right I saw how I had failed and prayed, 'God if there's a way, please let me go back and start again!' (Chorus) (Em/f#)...Then, suddenly, to my amazement, I woke up back in the hospital Doctors around me had revived my body, which was feeling miserable But all the pain I felt could not begin to equal with the joy I felt That my life had begun to make sense Now for the first time in my whole life I could realize there was a plan and behind everything in life there is a reason and God's mighty hand and that our purpose here in life is just to learn to love our fellowman and yes, I now know there's a life after death And (Am)... I talked to all my friends about this experience Though they just laughed it off, time and again I know that it was real and so is the joy I feel I now have a mission to fulfill (Chorus)
9.) To My Family
10.) KING OF LOVE
When you were born you filled my life with joy on that cool autumn morn My little girl, my precious gift of love, you came, so sweet Your little eyes exploring all around you, always open wide Such lively eyes, intensely studying everything they'd see
(Em) The streets are empty and you (Asus2) hear (Am) the wind blow (D) & whisper of forgotten (G/A) things you don't know (Em/f#)if there is something for you (Cmaj7) to be(Ds2/F#)lieve (Em/D) in (B7) if there is someone you can (C) still hold (D) on to
I sang & danced those first days of your life, holding you in my arms I still recall singing to you, rocking you to sleep Now time has passed & I've watched you learning how to walk & talk & now my love, you’re even learning how to write and read And someday soon you'll have grown up and maybe you will hear this song Remember that you’ll always be the girl that one day came from Heaven to me My little boy, red cheeks, big eyes, you're truly any father's joy Can laugh, can cry, & sometimes you don't know which of the two You grow so fast that when I've gone a few days I feel years have passed But even then you cuddle up, I'm still daddy to you you're showing me my weaknesses & strengths just like a mirror's glass for you reflect the love, the joy, the pain that we show you And yes, I know, together we will always be in heart & soul & though sometimes you're not with me, my son, you can be sure I'll always love you My little wife, mother of my children, partner of my life you hold me tight, assuring me each day & every night You're loving me, putting up with my faults & helping me I couldn't see where I would be without you today And if sometimes it got too hard to bear when things just weren't right I thank you now for that you stayed & stuck it out with me My faithful one, we've surely come a long way since our love began And I believe we'll always be a true family & now we wait for number three And yes, no matter what may come, whether ill, death or harm we'll sail through the storm & be safe His arms
So many years of your whole life seem wasted although of every cup of fame you've tasted but all those streams of pleasure have run dry now & leave you empty with a thirsty sigh, oh But there's a voice that whispers deep within you a voice of hope that cries, 'Let the light shine through! And let it chase all your dark clouds away & change your life into a (Em) sunny (E) day (Ch.:) Let Him (Am) in, let Him (D) in This is the (G) King of Love Who's (C) calling (B/G) (Am) Calling you to come (D) back into the (G) Country of the (Em) Free (E) Let Him (Am) in, let Him (D) in This is the (G) King of (F#/Dsus2) Love Who's (Em) calling (Am) Calling you to (D) come back to be (Gs4) free (G) So many people live in their own cages chains forged by their own hands in selfish rages Prisoners of their own desires & passions yet never really knowing satisfaction But there's a Man Who longs so hard to free them Who lived for love & died for you and me and rose again to set the captives free that we might live for all eternity (Ch.)
Buenos Aires, 1984
11.) Get On Board
13.) You Won't Ever Be The Same I had such a very broken heart, everything I dreamed fell apart couldn't find another start, oh no I, deep down inside was so alone, in spite of all the things owned kept on looking for a way back home Then I still clearly remember the day when the Son came into my life set me free from care & strife, turned my darkness to light and chased the dark clouds all away Now I won't ever be the same again my heart cracked open & love came Now want to tell the World & sing That all life’s reason is in loving Him Now you, I turn around & look at you because you're seeming just as blue as me before I was born anew You see, this love, isn't just for me but it can also set you free & lift your life into the heavenlies So why, why don't you Just give it a try? You hear him knocking at your heart He'll give your life another start, although you're torn apart And a love that will never die
12.) Where Will It Lead from Here
And you won't ever be the same again If you just open up & let Him in Then you'll want to tell the World & sing that all life's reason is in loving Him
14.) The Day I know it's hard when you don't have a reason Nothing to live for, nothing to believe in everyday's struggle to just keep existing I know how it feels accuse I've been through the same thing But then one day a friend & I were talking about religious trips & groups, you know, kind of joking He told me about the People of Love then We met the next day to go & see them I still remember it, how the door opened Two arms flung around me, a smile, a warm welcome True songs of life were sung, words of love spoken
I was a lost sheep, my heart young & broken
15.) Like a Soldier
People bald hands & sang prayers before eating I knew that this was the love I'd been seeking & then they asked me if I would receive Him I didn't know but how could I resist Him (Chorus:) The day first believed in Him, I'll never forget it The day my new life did begin I'll never regret it The day I first believed in Him, the day I was born again Something inside me was suddenly changing And I came back almost every evening soon I quit dope, though at school friends were laughing Suddenly I knew my life had a meaning Never again I'd be tired of living Now I know all my mistakes are forgiven God fills with life every moment I'm breathing And I know I'm donna make it to heaven I know it's real & I really believe it It's nothing you must do, only receive it He’s knocking on your heart's door, of, can't you feel it If you just let Him in you'll be so glad for the day you first... (Chorus) (you'll never forget it....) (remember I said it...) (you'll never regret it...)

2.) 13. Welcome To Babylon May ’92 Fatsack cadillac, drivin’ around With the hi-fi blastin’ like he owns the town Sugarbag, someone’s gonna steal your crown if you don’t watch out Big hunks, tough punks pushin’ you around Mammoth cash busters just draggin’ me down I can’t stand no more of that techno sound, I wanna drop out Black smoke, death choke, oxygen’s gone Highway plugged up, rush hour’s on How long must we all still carry on? (Ch.:) Welcome to Babylon! Welcome to Babylon!
1.) Free Locked up in an iron cell, my life was dark and vain, a hollow shell until you came in and you gave new life to me. Childhood memories were sad and gloomie as can be, there was no love for an unimportant little boy like me. When you came along it was like someone finally turned the light on inside my dark room and made me see. When the morning dawns I know that you will come and take me home and set me free.
High priest, sly biest, robbin’ the poor Bittersweet sermons are your bait and the lure Just tell me how you can be so hoggone sure you’re on the right track? 59 people living on the same floor barely ever say Hi to the fellow next door Tell me who are you goin’ through all this for I wanna go back Set pace, rat race, see how they run “I’m gonna get rich quicker than the other one! Stepping on people is actually fun!” (Ch.)
In the early morn' I'll spread my wings and I will soar into the sky and fly so free. I was just a prisoner till the day you came along, trapped inside my cage just like a bird without a song, hardly anyone could understand what it's to be finally free, free. Locked up in an iron cell, my life was dark and vain, a hollow shell until you came in and you gave new life to me, oh my past was hell, compared to what's become, you broke the spell and set me free -- free -- free! Stuttgart 1992
3.) Fire, Water, Air And Earth
4.) Wisdom
Five billion souls under one sun learning to live in peace on one, one speck of dust we call our planet. Five billion different worlds in one learning to get along, each one so very different from the other. So many different shades in one, so many different traits yet one, only one human race, one Father.
Tell me who is She that talks to and soothes the wind and the fire and the rain, gives me her comfort and touches me, heals me and eases my every pain. Is She a woman, a spirit, some magic or only a mystical dream? I've known her since I was a child so I know that She must be reality.
Fire, water, air and earth and what's inbetween, fire, water, air and earth and anything that is seen, learning to live with each other. From a distance the stars all look the same but if we get close the aspects change: they all vary in purpose, size and colour. Like Venus, Mercury and Mars, our personal characters all are as manyfold as the constellations. Fire, water, air and earth and what's inbetween, fire, water, air and earth and anything that is seen, learning to live with each other. Just go walking down your street, so many different types you meet, wouldn't you be bored if we were all the same? One is proud, the other shy, some a little dumb, the other sly like a snake that's waiting for it's chance to bite. Some walk high and some walk low, one goes fast the other slow, we all can learn a little something as we go. Some love music, some play ball, some can't stand that stuff at all, they'd rather work all day just making sure the money rolls. Some as quiet as a lamb some are violent, some are tame, we all need each other, no two folks are just the same. Red, brown, yellow, black or white, the one thing not to do is fight, but we must learn to live eternally in harmony. That's what we're all here for, we have to open the door, and take a step to love each other. Fire, water, air and earth and what's inbetween, fire, water, air and earth and anything that is seen, learning to live with each other.
Oh, I can feel Her, oh, I can breathe Her, oh, and I know I'm not alone on this lonesome road. Once in a vision I thought I had seen just a glimpse of Her smiling at me, the beauty and grace of Her facial expression is something I will always see. Sometimes at night in the stillness I hear Her like whispering into my ears wonderful words of Her wisdom that fill me with peace when I know she's near. Oh, I can hear Her, want to be near Her, never want Her to let me go. Once in a summer I thought that I heard Her like singing a lovely refrain of all of the wonders and miracles of life and repeat it again and again. Spirit of freedom and love, Queen of Heaven, oh, Mother of all that is life. Oh, for my heart to be filled with Your wisdom your truth to enlighten my eyes. Oh, I can see Her, feel and perceive Her in every miracle of life.
5.) Soul Rain Love, stop breaking my heart, I gave it to you, you tear it apart. Love, hold on to my heart, two souls gropin' 'round alone in the dark. I feel the rain fall down on my soul, just soothing the pain that I've come to know. I hear the rain, the ground is so dry, wash away the stains that covered my life. Listen to it, the soul rain that washes me clean, just try and catch the soul rain that falls deep within, I've got a thing pouring under my skin I call soul rain. Tears, yes, I have cried tears, in secret, alone, hiding from my fears, love, start melting the ice, this world is so cold, infested with lies. I feel the rain pour into my life, it waters my heart and streams from my eyes, I hear the rain, I open my hands, I open my lips, I kiss and I drink the dew heaven sends. Listen to it, the soul rain that washes me clean, just try and catch the soul rain that falls deep within, I've got a thing pouring under my skin I call soul rain. Listen to it, the soul rain that falls deep within, just try and catch the soul rain that washes me clean, and when I smile there's a rainbow that beams through my soul rain.
I can't believe that the dream I once lived should be over, and I don't see how it could be that it all should have left me nowhere. Give me new faith to hang on to, give me new hopes I can cling to, send me a light that will guide me through all this night around me. Funny it seems how the things we most long for, once obtained can leave us cold like a closed door, all those material things can bring is such emptiness. Trapped in a cage of clichees and belongings, I don't need a house or a car to feel strong in. All I want now is to finally break out, a way to escape. Somewhere I know there just must be an answer, a purpose for me in this world to exist for, I don't know where but I won't give up searching till I find, I can't believe that the dream I once lived should be over, how could it be that it all should have left me nowhere. Give me new faith to hang on to, give me new hopes I can cling to, send me a light that will guide me through all this night around me. Give me new hope to hang on to, give me new faith I can cling to, Send me a light, sned me a light, to guide me through the night.
7.) Send Me Right Back To You 6.) Send Me A Light Sometimes you feel there's a world on your shoulders, day after day slowly we're getting older, faint seems the visions and dreams that inspired us yesterday, caught in a web of taboos and possessions was the desire for success my transgression? All I want now is to find a way out, a way to escape. Somewhere I know there just must be an answer, a purpose for me in this world to exist for, I don't know where but I won't give up searching till I find,
Here I stand at the start of a new thing, somehow, somewhere, someplace new. And I know that wherever it leads me, you'll show me just what to do. As long as I'll stay true I'll hear from you and I'll know where to move. And I don't know, will I succeed or will I fail in my pursuit. I just know that the sowing is my job and the reaping is all up to you. I'll do what I can do to spread the news and what else can I do but tell the world about you. And the road isn't gonna be easy all of the time, this I know.
But it's better to suffer a little than to live like a king just for show, and I'll go high and low, fast or slow, until everyone knows. Here I am singin' to someone, sending my thoughts up to you. And I know that whether they'll like it or whether they won't, you're the truth. And when the race is run and work's all done and I'll finally be through, send me right back to you, send me right back, send me right back on to you, please let me be with you, let me, send me, just sent me right back to you!
So (G) here’s to all the (C9) lost sheep who are (D) out there in the (G) dark You (Em) may not know where (Em/D) you belong but (Am7)deep inside your (D) heart You’ll (Em) hear the Master (Em/D) Shepherd’s voice like (Em/C#) echo in my (C) song & (G) if you hear His (D) voice, however (C9) small in that dark(D) night, oh little (C9-B/G) lamb: I (Am7) know He’s gonna (D) find & take you (G) home (C) (D) ( Chorus )
9.) Summer's Born 8.) LOST SHEEP SONG Intro: (G/D-Em7-C/D-D7) 2x
Well, (G/D) here we are a(C9)gain tonight, some (D) of the 9(G/D)9 To(Em)gether singing (C) songs again & (G) everything’s so (D) fine We (G) think we truly (C9)have arrived, so (D)safely in the (G) fold But (Em) brothers, where’s the (Em/D)Master gone out (Am7)in the bitter (D) cold? I’ve (G/D) seen it time and (C9) time again, we (D) argue & dis(G)pute A(Em)bout our different (C) views of doctrines, in(G)terpreting the (D) Truth But (G) somewhere out there (C9) in the dark, while (D) we all fuss & (G) fight There’s (Em) someone who be(Em/D)longs to us, who’s (Am7) not yet found the (D) light So, (Em) let us stop our (Em/D) arguing & (Em/C#) get together (C) now to (G) join the Master’s (D) search out there, I (C) hear Him calling (D) out: Chorus: “I’m callin’ (G) you, yes (C9) you out there (D) somewhere in the (G) dark My (Em) brother or my (Em/D) sister, oh, how(Am7)ever lost you (D) are I’m callin’ (G) you, yes (C9) you out there (D) somewhere in the (G) night & (Em) if you hear My (Em/D) voice, then follow (Am7) ‘till you reach the (D) light I (Em) know that you are (Em/D) lost out there, so (Em/C#) cold & so a(C) lone But (G) if you hear My (D) voice & follow, I (C9) know I’m gonna (D) find & take you (G/D) home” (Em7-C/D-D7)
In the distance I can see the sun arise and chase away the clouds of doom. Long before the daybreak darkness filled the sky but now you see the first flowers bloom. Glittering sunlight kisses my eyes and fills my mind with heavenly tunes. Everything the cold of winter put to sleep now comes to life with the first breath of June. Gone are the rainy days, summer has come and washed them away. Now winter's pain has paid for the life that's being born before our eyes. Like a butterfly emerging from the dark of it's cocoon so summer's born. It's the promise of a new life without pain the curse removed, the bonds of death torn. Glittering sunlight touches my eyes and wipes away all doubts and fears. In the silence of the morning you can hear the voice of God whisper in your ears. Now all of creation groans longing to be freed from it's chains. Melt all the ice and snow, heavenly warmth, come, fill my everlasting days.
Switzerland, ‘91
10.) Losers Turn Winners
11.) Concrete Hearts
The fake of the century's revealed now, though some are still blind and can't see, it just isn't all gold that glitters, not everything's good that is cheap. And some things can be quite expensive and bring you deep down to your knees, for those things you insisted on having, you may find out your life was the fees.
As I walk the pavement of these city streets my eyes turn from those buildings to the people I meet. Conversation here won't lead very far, God, it almost seems to me as if they've all got concrete hearts.
For some people life is a teacher and others won't ever perceive, too late, much too late comes the awakening, they find out they have been deceived. The mystery's past comprehension to sqare minded natural men, the harvest they'll reap is damnation, let's break loose as long as we can. So here's to all of you captives who really believe to be free but are bound by the chains of your own bigotries, traditions, rivalry and greed. I just can't cope with all their hatred, the madness in all that I see, oh God, I beseech you to bring it to halt, this system of idolatry. For you who may think we're the losers, for lack of material gain, may find out when we'll reach the end of the road, that the losers turn winners again, the losers turn winners again. The line's drawn between those who're simple and blindly just treading along, and those who know just what they're doing, they'll have you all sold before long. Their plan has been kept through the ages and soon will have come to its end, the plot is complete and has rendered the whole world in the palm of their hands. I damn all your weavings of evil, your rituals, cursing and spells, compared to the light you're just fooling around your road will just land you in hell. I pray for all those you have blinded that one day they might again see, I pray for the ones you have bound with your lies that the truth will again set them free. And though you may think I'm a loser for lack of what you call success I'd rather be poor as a peasant than found guilty of all your excess. Yeah, you who may think we're the losers, for lack of material gain, may find out when we're 'round the corner that the losers turned winners again, the losers turn winners again.
Concrete hearted people never show what they feel, eyes as cold as diamonds, minds made of stainless steel, never tell on whose side they are, no, no, they won't show their loneliness deep in their concrete hearts. Concrete hearts are as hard as the streets on which they walk, never mean a single thing when they talk, just surround themselves with concrete walls. Concrete hearts would rather stop beating than be caught shedding tears, always pretend they never once knew a fear, no, not even in a million years, sad lonely concrete hearts. Talking to someone that I thought I once knew showing some emotion 's one thing she just won't do, leave me sittin' here in the bar, oh, but girl, tell me, who's ever been missing a concrete heart? I'm not gonna let you make a fool of myself, just because you look as pretty as a vase on some shelf, play with me but don't go too far, no I'll never let myself fall for you and your concrete heart. Concrete hearts are as hard as the streets on which they walk, never mean a single thing when they talk, just surround themselves with concrete walls. Concrete hearts would rather stop beating than be caught shedding tears, always pretend they never once knew a fear, no, not even in a million years, sad lonely concrete hearts, cold lonely concrete hearts, sad lonely concrete hearts.
12.) The Busker's Song
13.) Under The Wings Of Love
Every night I sing and play guitar, take my music from bar to bar. I walk in, there they are, starin' at me like at some creature from Mars. I say "Hi!", they go "Huh, what's the freak up to, anyhow? Seems he don't quite know who we are: we're our town's intelligentsia!
Rise, rise little sparrow, spread your tiny wings and fly till you touch the sky, so high, you'll touch the rainbow, you let the wind blow through your feathers as you fly. You've got no sorrows, no care for tomorrow, you've got a place to hide, you're safe under the shadow, the shining shadow under the wings of love. You've got nothing to worry about, your Father won't let you fall to the ground, the strongest arms in the universe have promised you their care.
Don't you know we're the coolcats, can't you see we're the cream of the town, won't you bow, to the Jet-set, we're the cool-gang, the insider crowd. Don't you know we're the coolcats, can't you see we're the cream of the town, won't you bow, we're the Jet-set, and we don't need no strangers around!" I play my songs, just three or four, 'cause I know they can't take anymore, some pay and leave the scene of crime, before I can make 'em eke out a dime. When I'm done with the show, no one dares clap or say "bravo". Say "Don't you know who we are? We're our town's Saturday night disco stars Don't you know we're the coolcats, can't you see we're the cream of the town, won't you bow, we're the Jet-set, we're the cool-gang, the insider crowd. Don't you know we're the coolcats, can't you see we're the cream of the town, won't you bow, we're the Jet-set, and we don't need you strangers around!" Every night I sing and play guitar I take my music from bar to bar. Well I don't care just who you are, whether king or queen or pope or czar. I know you're so intellectual, so educated, so critical. But when it comes down to this acting "cool": it's just yourselves you're tryin' to fool. So you think you're the coolcats, so you think you're the cream of the town, well I think you're just bullheads, call it cool, man, I call it lukewarm. So you think you're the coolcats, so you think you're the cream of the town, well I think you're just bullheads, all this coolness is bringin' me down.
So, come, come on, tomorrow, no matter how black your gloom, I'm not scared of you, for I will cast all my sorrows onto the shoulders that are gonna see me through, I'm safe under the shadow, the shining shadow, under the wings of love. Oh, the beauty of little things, He knows the number of every hair, the strongest arms in the universe have promised you their care. So rise, rise little sparrow, spread your tiny wings and fly till you touch the sky, so high, you've got no sorrows under the shadow, under the wings of love.
14.) Where Grey Skies Won't Go I grew up in a grey sky town, lots of people with grey sky frowns, man, I tell you, they bring you down, them grey sky blues. Traveled far to a southern land where the nights are much longer and you see smiles in the warm white sand and the skies are blue. Now some folks say there's no place like home, but I'd say depends on where you're born, 'cause I feel just like a southern man who'd vote for grey skies to be banned. So take me where the golden sunsets glow, where the sky is blue and the palm trees grow, that is where I will call my home, there where life's still worth living, where the sun shines and grey skies won't go.
I grew tired of black chimney smoke, fourtyfive year olds dyin' of stroke, I said, God must be kiddin', I hope make those grey skies move.
(1993) Gently & Quietly I'll Blow Your Mind
Man I barely turned seventeen, I was no longer to be seen in the land governed by machines where the grey skies rule. Now I know some people just don't care whether they breathe in smoke or air, but I wanna sleep 'neath a starry sky where the moonlight lingers in my lover's eyes. So take me where the golden sunsets glow, where the sky is blue and the palm trees grow, that is where I will call my home, there where life's still worth living, where the sun shines and grey skies won't go, where the grey skies won't go, where the grey skies won't go, the grey skies won't go, grey skies won't go.

1.) You Shed Light Into My Heart (Thanks to You) Could I forget, would it be fair to let it slip my mind, all the things that you & I have gone through? There's no regret, nor can I fail ever to mention thank you for the way that you have made my life true Thanks to you I love this life Thanks to you I found my part Thanks to you I found my way You shed light into my heart Now I walk, my head held high, ever facing towards the Son Share with me the love of life, feel forever just begun (Chorus)

2.) Gently & Quietly I'll Bow Your Mind
...leave the empty grave forever far below ...leave the shadows far behind
Come, take my hand & I'll sure treat you kind Lead you someplace no one will ever find lay beside me & close your eyes leave all Earthly thoughts far behind Let me touch you deep down inside & gently & quietly I'll blow your mind
5.) The Year Love Disappeared
I'm not the kind who need pompous ado silently I'll convey my point to you not a word, barely making a sound I will achieve to turn your head around you won't resist or cast my love aside when gently & quietly I'll blow your mind So, let me come in the hour of the night & gently & quietly I'll blow your mind
3.) Love, Come Into My Life Love, come into my life, love, come into my heart Love, fill my soul with joy & light & never let it part, Love, come into my life, come into my heart There is a ray of hope for each lost soul There is a glimpse of light for every man There lies Salvation at the reach of every hand & by faith, it can be yours (Chorus) The greatest gift of all is yours today If you fulfill your part & ask, you'll find the way Open your heart, the light will come in all its might, in all its power
4.) Shadows Who will hold My torch in the middle of the night? Who'll whisper My truth in the void of any right? (Ch.:) Run from the shadows, you must be strong soon the night will break into a new blue dawn Hush, little darling, you've run too long soon the light is gonna sing its victory song Herald the morning with its golden glow Soon the summer will melt the winter's snow Fly on the wings of an eagle, like a dove Hide in the lonesome wilderness, My Love (Chorus)
There are some weird things happening in the World today It seems they're slowly taking all our sense away & though you still can't see the writing on the wall I know that time keeps ticking & a hard rain's gonna fall There are some bad birds hanging underneath the sky controlling wants & wishes while our feelings die & though we still can't see the end, it's getting clear to see we're living in the year love disappeared This is the year we learned to run I knew someday it had to come This is the year we always feared This is the year love disappeared All those tv commercials have programmed our kids to thinking getting rich is really all there is this is the decade when material things replaced our need for love & closed our minds to values from above
6.) Judas Friend, tell Me, why, why did you betray Me? Come, seal My fate with a kiss Did your pride not let you just obey Me? You took the lies of the witch Brother, you don't know what you've done, do you? Not to Me, but to your own soul You sought to save yourself, secure your own tomorrow now that it's done, what have you gained? For I, I will rise again , while you'll drown in your sorrow left with your everlasting shame Go & do that which you must do, quickly Name My price, what am I worth? Go & take your 30 pieces of silver and cast them into the dirt Come to Me now & ask Me the question, "What are these wounds in Your hands?" And in My tears & My pain I'll answer,
"These are the wounds of a friend" What if a man should gain the World & lose his soul, oh, Only what's given can be saved Now you have paid the price & thrown it all away, oh. Judas, the choices that you made
7.) Tie Your Wagon (To This Rolling Stone) Some people like me, some people don't Some folks just hate to see my guts, I hope you don't Some folks would rather I'd pack my bags & go home But I know you, you'd pack yours, too, & come along
9.) The Birds Fly South The birds fly south in autumn, & they return in spring So, when You will return, my Love, I will have learned to sing One night while I lay listening to some symphony or song I felt the fire glistening in my love's heartbeat strong A vision clearly struck me of things that are to be Of sceneries, like fairy tales in books our children read The birds fly south in winter, & I will fly to You At the carcass the eagles gather, so, will You call me, too?
So, c'mon, baby, tie, c'mon, baby, tie your wagon to this rollin' stone Yeah, I'm a rolling stone headed on home
10.) The Devil Hates Me For That
Sometimes I'm sloppy, sometimes shaven clean Sometimes I'm sober, sometimes stoned, if you know what I mean But I gotta have a woman in whatever state I'm in I gotta have my guitar, so, baby, let the show begin
Hey, how's it goin'? You know, I'm badly attracted to you How're you feelin'? Is my message comin' through? Open your ears, & I'll sing you a tune, &, Baby, maybe you'll hate me for that, but I've got an urge, I've just gotta keep singin', uhhuh, the Devil hates me for that
8.) Thief In The Night He came, He came like a thief in the night He came like a thief in the night We were all like zombies, we were hypnotized by that tv happiness & Hollywood lies Oh, we were all too busy lovin' ourselves & we had turned this World into a piece of hell Yeah, we had all been blinded by the Serpent's light until He came, He came like a thief in the night (Chorus) Yeah, we had craved for power, our lust was greed We were fanatical egotists, spilled the seed We wore with pride the tattoo beneath our skin We'd built a raging kingdom we were servants in Where every right was wrong & every wrong was right until He came, He came like a thief in the night
I'm like a river of music, rollin' right over your ears & fears & washin', washin' your tears away Come with me, darlin', we'll float through the evening & hold on to each other's hands 'til the break of day (The Devil hates me for that!) Said, hey, can you hear me, or do I have to turn up the P.A.? I've got a feeling your mind is tempted to drift away But I've got something to tell you & I mean it to kill your blues in nothing flat I'll give you some news to make you feel like you're dreamin' Uh-huh, I know the Devil hates me for that I'm like a diamond of dust that's a-sparklin' inside of this small ray of light, just tryin' to drag you out of the dark Hang on to me & we'll head for the sunlight floatin' right out of the night for a happy day
(The ole boy'll hate us for that!) Tell ya somethin', I think the angels will love us for that Every Saint up in heaven's rejoicing, uh-huh, I think they're all tickled pink about that Yeah, the Man on the Top really digs what I'm doin', uh-huh, I think He really likes me for that I think He really loves me for that
Gimme some thunder, gimme some lightning Gimme the one thing I just can't resist, let's make life exciting There's Someone waiting now, He wants to show you how to turn your life from a desert into a crystal blue ocean
13.) Life's Like a River 11.) Life's Not A Freeway I know what's on your mind, babe You think I'm left way behind, babe But one fine day you'll find out that despite the way it may seem, hey, life's not a freeway
Life's like a river that is flowing endlessly ever on towards the boundless ocean of eternity Down the mountains through the valleys, passing nature scenes Or through filthy, smoky cities, till it meets its destiny
No need for pushin' & shovin' It's time we started some lovin' You need to get through your mind that despite the way...
Mile by mile you run your course, keep fowin' where you're bound until the journeys over & the day your goal is found
It's a rough & rugged mountain track that once you have started you don't dare look back
A song's like a picture, some abstract & sometimes clear so, let me paint my message now for everyone to hear The truth is an arrow that can cut you to the heart deep down to the bone & marrow, it'll tear your soul apart
I know what's clouding your mind, man, pressure from every side, Stan You've gotta learn to say 'Stop!' 'cause,... I know you're tryin' to be first, boy but turning out just a jerk, Roy I think you better slow down, for...
12.) Passion Gimme some passion, gimme some wildfire gimme that crazy, crazy lovin', gimme some life, yeah Gimme those wild hours of intense emotion Gimme some heat, oh just a few moments of total devotion What makes you think that I don't deserve it? If love is our God, we might as well show it, might as well serve Him Love is a power, much more than a sermon It's something you live with every beat of your heart stop acting so German! (Chorus)
Separates the fight from wrong & shows you where you stand until the day you face yourself & take the master's hand Speech is a mirror by the which we all can see if the one who talks is chained by pride or whether he is free the mind is a traveler, a lonesome pilgrim on his own that can meet a lot of fellows that'll tell him where to roam Mile by mile you run your course, keep goin' where you're bound until the journeys over & the day your goal is found

14.) Silver & Steel My Love's eyes are shining just like silver & steel there is no way to sing about the way that I feel Sweeter than honey, Her skin's whiter than milk Her hair as dark as the night, her touch as tender as silk She's got me running on the water, she's got me ridin' on the wind There's just no way I could describe this crazy state that I'm in She makes me rich man or a pauper, thief or a prince my universe is out of order if my Love won't let me in (Chorus) My Love's eyes are shining just like silver & steel there is no way to sing about the way that I feel Clearer than water, Her heart's purer than gold fills me with strength when I'm tired, makes me feel young when I'm old There's no way I could be without Her without Her love I'd be lost I'm like a fish out of the water, I need Her at any cost Won't let Her slip right through my fingers won't let Her part from me again I need my love right here to linger until the very end
Bad when you're a loser from the start to end but if you'll give it a try you'll be back on your feet again sad when all the wounds inside don't seem to mend but there'll be waiting a prize if you hold on until the end Wrong to give up when you feel you're beat again Without a battle to fight there'll be no shiny crown to win Get up on your feet or get on out on the street & face the morning again You've got to break out, away from under that cloud you've been haunted by so long Find someone else who needs love & you won't ever be lonely again Open the shell that's surrounding your heart & just reach out your hand: There's love!

15.) Lone Song Why isn't it easier to heal the pain When you've been stripped of your pride & left standing in the rain? I wish I could help you make it through this fight I know it's rough on your own tryin' to make another night Where is all this lonely living gonna end? You feel like wanting to cry or even die, you hurt so bad Come on, turn around, I've had enough of your frown you should get out of yourself There's so much to do, there's someone waiting for you somerwhere else If you believe you'll find strength to pull right out of this hole in your mind Learn to receive from above & you'll be able to give and you'll find your love

2.) Things You Hate
1.) Welcome To The Rhythm Dec.12 1994 by Dave Mendoza
As I sit here by this bed in which you’re waiting to be born So many things in my head, holding on to your sweet mom Wondering if you’re a boy or a girl, a rough little gem or smooth pearl Will your hair be straight or curled? Either way, we’ll always give you all the love in this world (Chorus:) Welcome to the rhythm, welcome to the tune Welcome to this world which you’re about to know so soon Welcome to the outside, welcome to the light Welcome to the music, welcome to the rhythm of life! Why am I always so nervous during a delivery? Although you’re already fifth to be a child in this family Well, we’ve been waiting so long Guess I’m not patient or strong What if the doctors do wrong? Guess I’ll trust in heaven, might as well just right down this song (Chorus) Finally the mystery unfurls One last push into this world I don’t breathe, move, talk or stir Here you come now, baby, Hallelujah, Mom, it’s a girl! (Ch.)
3.) Fire, Water, Air And Earth Five billion souls under one sun learning to live in peace on one, one speck of dust we call our planet. Five billion different worlds in one learning to get along, each one so very different from the other. So many different shades in one, so many different traits yet one, only one human race, one Father. Fire, water, air and earth and what's inbetween, fire, water, air and earth and anything that is seen, learning to live with each other. From a distance the stars all look the same but if we get close the aspects change: they all vary in purpose, size and colour. Like Venus, Mercury and Mars, our personal characters all are as manyfold as the constellations. Fire, water, air and earth and what's inbetween, fire, water, air and earth and anything that is seen, learning to live with each other. Just go walking down your street, so many different types you meet, wouldn't you be bored if we were all the same? One is proud, the other shy, some a little dumb, the other sly
like a snake that's waiting for it's chance to bite. Some walk high and some walk low, one goes fast the other slow, we all can learn a little something as we go. Some love music, some play ball, some can't stand that stuff at all, they'd rather work all day just making sure the money rolls. Some as quiet as a lamb some are violent, some are tame, we all need each other, no two folks are just the same. Red, brown, yellow, black or white, the one thing not to do is fight, but we must learn to live eternally in harmony. That's what we're all here for, we have to open the door, and take a step to love each other.
5.) Indifference

(1998) Whispers
1.) Just One
2.) Lady (I’ll Always Be There)
April 24, 1997
Just one beat of a heart away from falling apart Just one width of a hair away from just giving up But if you hold on for one more breath You’ll find shoulders to lean on And leaning find your strength Just one beat of a heart away from finding the truth Coming so close to knowing, and yet so far The choice has always been yours Determine now what you’ll be What you will do, and, baby, who you are Just one beat of a heart between the finish and start Just one blink of an eye will make the difference Just one word from your lips, one touch or even a glimpse Can determine the course of years you’ve yet to live Just one look or a smile, an inch, a yard or a mile, Second, minute, hour, or day You can’t tell anyway Who do you think’s in control? C’mon, only God knows it all Sometimes you’re tempted to think, “Does anything matter at all?” There’s just one thing you can do and that’s let Him work through you He’ll give your life a new start With nothing you can’t do Just one beat of a heart…
3.) Listen To The Whispers
4/7/97
Listen to the (C) Whisper (G) (Am) in your (F) heart that tell you (C) where to (Dm7) go, (Am7) listen to the (F) voice of (G) love Listen to the whispers deep in your heart Listen to the (C) whispers (F-C-G) Listen to the whispers, to the words of love that tell you what to do 'cause they come from above you can hear the whispers if you're still enough Listen to the (C) whispers (G-F-C) (Am7) Child, there are so (Em7) many of us, just waiting, (Fmaj7) waiting for a chance to (Gs4) speak (G) Child, you know, we're here to help you you've just got to have the faith & receive (Chorus) Give, give out the love, children, because this is an important time Live, don't be afraid now, just be there & give it out, oh, let it shine
(Br.:) There are so (Fmaj7) many souls that might (Em7) never know His love & joy & heaven's peace of mind That's why you must go to share & tell & show them all the blissful life that's yet to find (Ch.) ... to give out, give out, give out the love ... we'll give you guidance from above
4.) Closer Than a Friend
never tell on whose side they are, no, no, they won't show their loneliness deep in their concrete hearts. Concrete hearts are as hard as the streets on which they walk, never mean a single thing when they talk, just surround themselves with concrete walls. Concrete hearts would rather stop beating than be caught shedding tears, always pretend they never once knew a fear, no, not even in a million years, sad lonely concrete hearts. Talking to someone that I thought I once knew showing some emotion 's one thing she just won't do, leave me sittin' here in the bar, oh, but girl, tell me, who's ever been missing a concrete heart? I'm not gonna let you make a fool of myself, just because you look as pretty as a vase on some shelf, play with me but don't go too far, no I'll never let myself fall for you and your concrete heart. Concrete hearts are as hard as the streets on which they walk, never mean a single thing when they talk, just surround themselves with concrete walls. Concrete hearts would rather stop beating than be caught shedding tears, always pretend they never once knew a fear, no, not even in a million years, sad lonely concrete hearts, cold lonely concrete hearts, sad lonely concrete hearts.
6.) Tell Me
5.) Concrete Hearts As I walk the pavement of these city streets my eyes turn from those buildings to the people I meet. Conversation here won't lead very far, God, it almost seems to me as if they've all got concrete hearts. Concrete hearted people never show what they feel, eyes as cold as diamonds, minds made of stainless steel,

Chorus: (D) Just (A) give Me a (Bm) chance (Bm/A) & I’ll (G) prove to you that (Ds2/F#) I still am the (Em7) Master of the (A7s4- A7) dance (G) I will set your (A) soul on fire, (D) I’ll fulfill your (G) heart’s desire If you’ll (D) just give (A7s4) Me (A7) a (D) chance (G) (A) (D...) So be not discouraged, be not disheartened Look not back & do not be remorseful Over the mistakes or sins of the past, for the past is the past ( Chorus ) Bridge: I have (Bm) covered these mistakes & sins & (F#m) that which was scarlet shall be (Em7) made (A7s4) white (A7) as (D) snow As (Bm) far as the east is (F#m) from the west, So (G) far have I re(Ds2/F#)moved your transgressions (Em7) from you (A7s4) (A7) In times of (D...) darkness I will be your light In times of sadness I will be your joy And more important then any of this, I am Love to you Yes, more important then any of this, I am Love to you ( Chorus )

Memories of mine painted in shades of grey Times I thought I would not see the light of day Growin’ up’s a hard task when you don’t know why Or if there’s any purpose in the tears we cry Meanwhile I’ve learned trials are often heaven – sent Though most times you don’t know what’s comin’ ‘round the bend When the night is darkest, give it one more try Even if you don’t care if you live or die (CHORUS:) But I can see it now, finally it’s all so clear (it all makes sense) Now, that the sun broke through the clouds & made them disappear Yes, I can see it now, finally it all makes sense Those deep & dark turns in life’s road that I went thru’ Today it all makes sense Though tomorrow’s not visible to our eyes I know, I know someone in whose hands it lies Faith & trust are hard to keep when no one’s there Until you finally see there’s help from everywhere (CHORUS:) (last Chorus:) But I can see it now, finally it’s all so clear (it all makes sense) Now, that the sun broke through the clouds & made them disappear .....the way you put me to the test ‘cause you knew how it would end .....my life’s road with all it’s bends Yes, every lesson you had to put me thru’, //: Today it all makes sense://

Abends Sekt & kaltes Buffet, "die Jacke sieht teuer aus" Doch während ich mire diese Leute anseh' geht mir langsam der Ofen aus Ich kann ihn einfach nicht ignorier'n... (Ref.:) Den Schmerz all (F#m) derer die's ver(A)sucht haben, und nicht ge(E)schafft & jener die (F#) Hände voll trübem (A) Wasser trinken, statt (E) Seen aus purem (B) Saft Die Stimme wird (A) stärker, die mich fragt, "Hey, was hast du (B) heute getan das einen (F#m) Unterschied (E) macht?" Die Trommelfelle tun mir noch weh von der Musik und dem netten Applaus Doch spätestens um viertel vor vier geh ich allein nach haus Ich denk' darüber nach was wohl geschieht, meine Gedanken wandern Ich kann ihn einfach nicht ignorier'n... (Ref. &) Derer die suchen und immer nocht nichts gefunden haben den Schmerz der Verlierer, während wir uns am Siegestrunk laben Hört doch bittel mal (B) auf, könnt ihr mir nicht nur (A) eine Minute lang (F#m) zuhör'n? Schon gut, macht ruhig weiter, es ist ja doch nur der Schmerz der Andern

auch wenn jeder hier dich nur einen Feigling nennt Du rast wie der Wind Irgendwie ist es komisch, wie schwer es oft ist sich eizugestehen dass du ziemlich weit von dem Weg abkamst den du einst auszogst zu geh'n Und wie lang' es immer dauert bis man bereit ist einzusehen Wir haben alle viel Mist gebaut, was gibt's daran nicht zu versteh'n Aber du bist spezial, auf deine Weise genial, auch wenn du jetzt sagst, "Der spinnt!"

11.) Again And You'll be all I needed to be finally completed Flow through me, make me wholly Yours and then just use me for whatever I am worth Go on, undo me, and piece me back together again And then take me to the water, fellow sons and fellow daughters Take me way beyond any borders of what they call law and order Make me rise up to be slaughtered if that's what You will And then raise me to Your harbor let my ship sail ever farther and embrace me like the father raced to kiss his long missing prodigal son and then let your greatest gift to me be not to let me part from You again
12.) See You Later
(Irgendwo & irgendwann)
Wo du stehst das weiß ich nicht Vielleicht verrät` s mir dein Gesicht Wenn du dich nicht schon wieder versteckst Komm` tu was Gutes & lauf` nicht wieder weg Wo du hin willst weißt du selber nicht Ist ja auch egal, Hauptsache schön & reich Nun, hässlich bist du nicht, das weißt du ganz genau Doch das Wort reich ersetz` ich ganz gewiss niemals mit schlau (Chorus:) Hör` mir zu was ich dir sagen muss: Mit der Show die du hier abziehst ist jetzt endgültig schluss. Kein kleiner Finger mehr, um den man mich noch wickeln kann. Ich seh` dich später irgendwo & irgendwann Wie du schläfst, das weiß ich nicht, nun ich nehme an Nicht halb so schlecht wie ich Es sei denn du träumst ganz rein zufällig auch Von Godzilla & King Kong im Megadrogenrausch.
14.) Weißt du noch damals? Weißt du noch damals als wir noch jung war `n Wir war’n kaputt, Mann; echt abgefuckt, Mann Doch da war etwas in uns `ren Augen In das die Erwachsenen sich nicht zu seh’n trauten Wir hatten Träume, nenn’s Illusionen Doch wer sieht je schon das an das wir glauben? Wir hatten Mut, wir hatten Wut Wir fanden’s angebracht uns wegzudreh’n Und viel zu schlecht um mitzugeh’n Vielzu schlecht um mitzuspiel’n, dieses Spiel das ihr so liebt (1.Str.) Wir war’n verstrahlt Mann, echt durchgeknallt, ... ... mussten hier raus, hielten’s nicht aus es noch länger mit anzusehen wie sie uns das Hirn verdreh’n uns lehren einfach wegzuseh’n um einige war’s schon gescheh’n
15.) Is It A Sin 13.) My Farewell
( Hello Heaven)
Hello Heaven, good-bye, Earth It’s been a good time, could have been worse Don’t shed a tear, friends, if I must go into that Light much brighter than anything we’ve known We’ve had our good times & hard times, too But be assured that Someone’s got a clue Don’t weep my children, at least not for me But if you must, weep for the darkness you’ll still see For men love darkness more than the light & that’s the reason there’s so much more wrong than right So, this is my farewell, though the time I may not know I’ll hear the tolling of the bell, just let me be prepared to go Not be attached to nor cling to treasures Pertaining to this world, I want to fly & just let go So, hello Heaven, good-bye, Earth
Is it sin to wanna share love with all men? Is it sin just because you don`t understand? Is it sin if I ask you again, is it a sin? Is it sin not to keep for myself what I`ve got? Is it sin to reach out, do I ask for a lot? Is it sin if I ask you why not?, is it a sin? Is it a sin if I act on what I do believe do you believe? Is it a sin to put feet to what we have received, to freely give? What makes you think that you`ve got nothing to win so you hold in. Is it a sin, is it a sin? So, here I stand alone against the wall of you heart & scream please collapse! Please collapse! Running all around & bang my head on the ground I scream open up! Finally open up Open up your heart ! Is it sin to wanna share love with all men ... ( first 2 verses) ... Is it sin if I asked you why not ? (3x) Is it a sin? (3x)
16.) Sinn des Lebens Die Suche nach dem Sinn des Lebens Ist nicht, wie mancher meint, vergebens Auch ist das Thema nicht tabu, sperr’n sich auch noch so viele vor ihm zu Im Gegenteil, so manches Kind nimmt schon zuweil Ganz unbewusst an dem Geheimnis teil Muss es doch auch durch sein Benehmen Lernen dass geben seliger ist als nehmen Drum, langes Suchen, kurzer Sinn: nur wer gibt der auch gewinnt Wer Liebe kennt, der weiß: hierin liegt uns` res kurzen Lebens Sinn (intro) Die Suche nach dem Sinn des Lebens Ist nicht die Irrfahrt eines jeden Der glaubt Gott wäre sein Verstand, sein Bauch, sein Auto oder Land Er findet sich vielmehr von selbst Wenn ein Herz mit einem anderen verschmilzt. Drum, langes Suchen, kurzer Sinn: nur wer liebt ... ... Sinn liegt uns’res ...
(2003) Standard Of Love
1.) Anymore Times all I dreamed of was finding Just a small trace of human touch Voices around would remind me I always expect to much Where did those sweet times go That you & I used to know Where did all our minds go That` s one thing God only knows (Chorus:) But I can’t wait in silence anymore I run from my island to your door Now those times left behind me Are lessons learned no more And I think I may find me A much brighter way to go No more sleepy dreamin` Of what is & could not be No more smoke and steamin` Well, that`s, at least no more for me (Chorus) You gave me faith when all was lost You taught my eyes to see Just bein’ next to you`s the perfect thing for me (Chorus)

(Chorus:) Blind, oh, blind guides of the blind deep is the ditch you’ll both wind up in Truth you won’t find in the closed rejecting mode your mind’s in
You’ve all been fast asleep too long, repeating all the same old songs On your pews on Sunday morning, you despised to heed the warning You preferred to keep on yawning, refused to see the new day dawning Truth, the light & I repeat: Now you’ll have to face the heat
4.) Do You
Killed the prophets through the ages, persecute the wise & sages Burned a million sacred pages, locked your pupils up in cages There’s no war you wouldn’t wage to try to blot out in your rage The truth, the light & I repeat: Now you’ll ... (Chorus)
When you’re feelin` strong, that’s not when I got through to you Please, don’t get me wrong, I want you to enjoy life like I do It’s true, I’ve been with you all along I’m your song
“Rich man, yeah! But pauper? No!” That’s the way you chose to go Soon you’ll feel the mortal blow of one who’ll reap what they have sown A better way you once were shown but refused and even so, Truth ... Will there be a second chance after you’ll have paid the dance? Or will you settle for romance with predition’s evil prince & Reap the harvest of your sins? Babylon, please take the hint! Truth ... 3.) I Don’t Know (Chorus:) I don’t know. Why can’t I just be smart & let go? The faster you’ll learn that you don’t know, the better off you’ll be, so, be smart & say I don’t know I don’t know, tomorrow’s in the hands of God alone The faster you’ll that there’s no need to worry, the happier you’ll be, so, just let go. Who among you can add one single day to your lives by what you know It’s easy to say Hey, folks, I know the way But the wiser man will just say I don’t know (Chorus) Don’t be like the man who crossed the frozen river on hands & knees, so slow When, all of a sudden, behind him came rattling A team of horses, pulling a heavy load (Chorus)
When you sheer collapse under the weight that’s on your back & you’re feelin’ trapped & like you’re runnin’ outta luck close your eyes, call on Me & you`ll be alright
Please, bear with me, darling, just like I will bear with you Are we just getting started or are we almost through? Wrong or right? - Please, not tonight! there`s gotta be something so much better to do (Chorus:) Please, tell me you remember (how I kept you warm at night) (Do you?) Tell me, can you remember (that I love you, wrong or right) (Do you?) Do you ever remember, do you? (Tell me, do you remember, do you?) Do you want me to stop? Should I just pack my things & go But you don`t wanna talk, so there`s some things I`ll never know Should I just keep on gessin` what`s wrong with you? I just think there should be something better to do (Chorus 2x)
5.) Come To Da Poppa (Rap:)
//: Come to da Poppa man, come to da Poppa :// (2x) Come to da Poppa, you’ll see things aren`t really that bad Come to da Poppa, he’ll make your broken heart glad Come back into those arms that make the mighty universe spin Come to da Poppa, so good to be together again (Chorus) Come on back to the city of Banana Moonshine Come on back into the House of Joy where everybody`s so fine
Come into the light of love that’s gonna kindle your heart Come to da Poppa, you know He’s loved you right from the start (Chorus) (Bridge:) Come on back to shine He`ll make your whole world rhyme Just say I’ll be Thine, for you are, you are (Chorus)
6.) Fiery Eyes Woman, let me forget myself in your fiery eyes You came into my life, such a sweet surprise Your soft & slender body, tough spirit but broken hearted You gave me more than un poco de amor Woman, let me refresh myself at your tender lips My happiness lies in every move of your fingertips I long for your sweet caress, the taste of your gentle breast Baby, to me you` re a princess (Bridge:) Angel on fire, don`t look so disheartened as if our ways had already parted Woman in love, there`s nowhere I`d rather be Than right here with you on your bed reminding me Of the love, my Creator has for me (1st line) Make me regret the times when I lived in lies Sweetest of all my treasures, c`mon my queen of pleasure You give me more than un poco de amor (Repeat 1st line 4x)
7.) You
(Living God)
Oh You are my sunshine, you are my life Oh, You give me comfort from all my strife You enlighten my hours, both, day & night You’ve wiped away all of those tears from my eyes -- You are a rainbow, you made the flowers, you made the butterflies You are my Angel, You are my Lover, Your Spirit takes me so high You set me on fire, You gave me light You encouraged my heart in the deepest night Oh, You show all the wonders of life to me You shared all the secrets of life with me -- You taught me the dance & You taught me to sing You taught me to love & to give
You taught me to cheer up a broken man’s heart You’re the first One who taught me to live Oh, You make me happy You make me sing You fill up my heart like a deep blue spring Oh, You are the meaning of life to me & now, rise up again & make love to me -- Over the hills and over the trees, over the mountains so high Over the rivers and over the waters on wings of the spirit we fly, high st (1 verse) Oh, Jesus, the Son of the Living God, Praise be unto Your name, oh, Living God! 8.) STANDARD OF LOVE (Asus2) Love don't give up hope to soon, though you're not born with silver spoon in (A/E) hand or mouth, nor your own room with hobby horse & lots of toys, don't (F#°/A) worry away the afternoon, those (F#°/D) pampered little girls & boys are (Asus2/C#) not as rich as (Esus4) you For (Asus2) I have something more to give to My children than to live mere (A/E) superficial, little lives with everything that money buys & (F#°/A) yet an emptiness within that (F#°/D) grows & grows with every sin of (Asus2/C#) selfishness & (Esus4) pride All (Asus2) the distractions in the world could never numb the pain & the hurt that (A/E) comes from leaving out the word proceeding from the mouth of God to (F#°/A) shine a light onto your path, bring (F#°/D) love & light where darkness was, the (Asus2/C#) code to bring your system up (Esus4) to the standard of (Asus2) love the standard of (A/E) love the standard of (F#°/A) love (F#°/D) (Asus2/C#) Lift the standard of (Esus4)love Obliterated, ridiculed have been My teachings by those fools themselves professing to be wise, selling for truth a pack of lies they claim their darkness to be light, declare their wrongs to be right & the only way of life So, I sent prophets, one by one, to show them that this can't be done: the Lord & Builder of the house expelled from His own & cast out they persecuted everyone, they even killed My very Son, how long will you go on?
Mete out destruction, mete out the wind, a mighty hurricane is what you'll reap, & righteous judgment for your sins you self-righteous & foolish men, deceived by Satan & his kin: Be ready, for I'm bringing in the standard of love Prefer your neighbor to yourself & don't hurt anybody else for if you give you will receive; if you will live you must believe And man will reap what he will sow, this simple rule for all to know: that's the standard of love Do unto others as you would that they do to you; that is good And keep your brother fed & warm, don't wish upon them no ill nor harm No greater love has any man than he who would die for his friends That's the standard of love (Lift the standard up, hold the standard up, raise the standard up, lift the standard of love....)

3/03
This is a song I write for Michael Moore Although I'll have to admit, I never rapped before I've got to thank you for the way you opened up my eyes to how some smart white guys fooled my white stupid ass They had me thinking that we've really got equality when that word couldn't be much further from the truth, you see They had me fooled discrimination was a thing of the past They sold me Eminem, the Backstreet Boys & Everlast They said, "You'll get your share if you just do your part" But I say "____ you!", now, cause I'm a nigger at heart (Chorus [Courtesy Of Beck]:) Soy un perdedor, I'm a loser, baby, so why don't you kill me I may be a stupid white man, but I'm a nigger at heart I got the number of that rich Illuminati bunch:
the Rockefellers & George Bush are having you for lunch Along with Rothschild & the dollar bill's all-seeing eye the king of empires & of diamonds, "Lucy In The Sky" There's not a single scene in this Big Picture show you didn't stage & tell us, "Well, that's just the way it goes" From World War I all the way through to the rape of Iraq to get your share, get what you want, to save almighty buck You drain our life-blood with your taxes & don't pay a fart Guess you can do it with us, cause we're a nigger at heart (Chorus) There's just one flaw in your plan, one point you're erring in: you made your bill without the Keeper of the Inn And though you're ushering in the grand finale of your show your Brave New World Order act will feel a mortal blow: In just one hour, Byblon the Whore will be blown away And after 31/2 years your dog will have his day For with a shout & a trump, descending from the sky Jesus will come, also know as Yeshua, the Messiah And all the chains 'round our necks will be torn apart for He will free every slave, every nigger at heart (new chorus:) Soy el ganador, you're the losers, baby, although you may kill me (Romans 8:36-39)

16.) Du lebst Wenn jemand sich entschließt zu leben, zu lernen, zu lieben, zu geben. Wenn jemand den Einblick in's Geheimnis erfasst, dann wird er von manchen geliebt & von vielen gehasst Wenn Du aufhören willst zu kriechen, versuchst einen Stern zu erreichen
Dann wird dir von manchen ein Tor aufgemacht wirst von einer Handvoll gelobt & von den Massen verlacht Doch du kannst sie nicht einmal hören Dein Blick ist fixiert auf dein Ziel Du lässt dich von niemandem stören weder hindern noch ablenken, von ihrem Spiel - du steigst Bereit sein sich selbst zu verlieren bedeutet zu seh'n zu kapieren Es gilt größ'res zu finden als lediglich sich selbst Lass los & steh nackt vor dem Licht. dem Schöpfer der Welt Und lass' dich von Ihm inspirieren, du weißt, es gibt nichts das nicht geht. Was hast du schon zu verlieren? Dein Stolz ist es, der deinem Glück widersteht Drum lass' einfach los, bevor du dich versiehst: du schwebst Drum lass dich vom Leben verführen den Wundern & Rätseln die es ständig gibt Lass dich von der Liebe berühren Wenn du weißt du wirst bedingungslos geliebt dann freu dich: du lebst

Da ist sie nun: die Herrenrasse `ne Horde wilder Säufer, ungelehrt & arrogant. Ein Heer ..., ach was, `ne blinde Meute: stur & extrem intolerant „Wir sind nicht stolz auf was wir war` n, doch wir sind stolz auf was wir sind“ Nun, wartet’s ab; in ein paar Jahren: Der nächste Führer kommt bestimmt (4x)

12.) Servant Of The King You may speak with the tongues of angels, you may know all things May be brave & defy all danger that this world may bring You may know how to walk on water, you may dine with kings May establish your own world order & wear a diamond ring But can you joy in the simple glory a sunset brings? Or have faith to believe the story about the King of kings? And if you do, can you yield all questions to His royal hands? If you’re calling yourself a Christian, would you go to the end? Would you follow Him up that mountain where His cross stands Where His blood once became a fountain, nails pierced His feet & hands? And would you partake of that communion of God with men And take the gift of Salvation from His Own hands to find (Ch.:) He‘s real, so real; more real than anything you see or feel And you yield your will, surrender everything, become a servant of the King In the valley of indecision multitudes trudge along Perishing without any vision, souls void of tune or song For too many neglect their mission to right the wrongs They’ve avoided the Master Fisher’s call for way too long So, lift your eyes up unto the harvest, white in the fields Oh, have mercy on all the starving souls who long to know that...

(Bridge:) (D) He’ll come from Heaven with a shout, (C/D)He’ll teach us what life’s all about (B/G) He’s the One you can‘t do without, (Bb/G) so, let Him (A7s4) chase away your (D) doubts (D) He’s standing, knocking at your (C/D)door, tell me, what are you waiting (B/G) for? He’s got to offer so much more, (Bb/G) open your heart & (A7s4) give all your cares to...

16.) Der Feind Der Krieg um eure Seelen der vor langer Zeit begann kommt langsam zum Finale das das Gute längst gewann Der Feind hockt direkt vor euch auf einem schönen Tisch ein Schrein in eurem Heiligtum – doch ihr erkennt ihn nicht Er stiehlt euch eure Kinder, er stiehlt euch eure Zeit er stiehlt euch eure Meinung, macht sich in euren Köpfen breit Er sagt euch wie ihr sein müsst um cool und „in“ zu sein und nistet sich in jeder kleinsten Faser eures Wesens ein Er definiert euch neu die Wahrheit, Ethik, Moral, und zwar genau und wer von dieser Gerade abweicht, der wird schon seh’n, das war gar nicht schlau

Wacht auf!“?
Er ist kein Mensch und doch ganz viele, und hat doch nie ein Herz gehabt er ist ein Ding, eine Maschine: euer heissgeliebter Fernsehapparat

(rep. 1st part)
And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem coming down from God out of heaven prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. And He that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And He said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.

14.) Selbstmitleid
Work at it till you get it right Even if you have to stay up all night Work at it till all the pieces fit & you stand back, cross your arms & think This is it, This is it!
In meinem Kopf lief heut‘ ‘ne Show von ganz besond’rer Art Der Showhost, Mr. Ego präsentierte seinen Star „Maine Damen, meine Herren, heut‘ mit von der Partie: das Selbstmitleid mit seiner Show ‚Fühl‘ mich so elend wie noch nie‘“
Don’t give up till you get it straight Brother Fun, oh well, he can wait Don’t surrender, never quit & never give up before you can really say This is it! - This is it! This is it when the morning comes This is it, right here in your arms Looks like this time I really got it right This is it, this is it, baby every little bit of it
13.) Lass‘ sie geh’n Manche Gefühle kann kein Mensch verstehen Manche Gedanken kennt eh‘ nur der Wind Es gibt Gefahren die kann man erst sehen wenn man schon hinter dem Scheitelpunkt steht an dem’s kein Zurück mehr, nur noch Vorwärts gibt, lass‘ sie geh’n Für manche Probleme gibt’s nur dan eine Lösung wenn du auch bereit bist die Lösung zu seh’n Erkennst du die Handschrift des Guten im Bösen? Dann siehst du das nichts aus dem Zufall entsteht Und dass es immer irgendwie weitergeht, lass‘ sie geh’n Lass‘ sie geh’n ihren eig’nen Weg zu finden Lass sie geh’n ganz gleich auch wie weit Was nützt es dir schon sie an dich festzubinden? Dein größter Freund ist die Zeit Die Jahre vergeh’n, du wirst älter und weiser Fragen werden durch Antworten ersetzt Du bist klüger geworden, und auch etwas leiser Denn schließlich hast du die Geheimschrift entdeckt die in jeder einzelnen Begebenheit steckt
(June 8, 2004)
Ein Hauch von seinem Zaubergas verwandelt dich im Nu in Kummersack und Trauerkloß mit ihrem Hit „Buhu“ Buhuhuhu, buhuhuhu, buhuhuhu, buhuhuhu Das Selbstmitleid im Rampenlicht verneigte sich ganz tief & widmete dann mir persönlich sein allerneu’stes Lied Es hieß „Du armer, mega-oberallerärmster Mann“ und zog mich dann mit seiner Melodie in seinen Bann Buhuhuhu, buhuhuhu, buhuhuhu, keiner hört mir zu außer Du Du kamst durch meine Tür nicht durch den Kopf sondern durch’s Herz Tratst meinem Teufel in den Hintern dass er flog, ganz ohne Scherz Mit einer kalten Dusche triebst du auch Herrn Ego fort das Wasser war so kühl und klar, das Wasser was Dein Wort Juhuhuhu, keiner kämpft wie Du Du wandelst meine Traurigkeit in Freude um im Nu Juhuhuhu alles wird gut Wo gestern noch die Einsamkeit war, da bist heute Du

15.) Bin ich jetzt ein Terrorist? Bin ich jetzt ein Terrorist weil ich für eure Riesentraumfabrik einfach zu wach bin? Weil ich den Mist den ihr uns eintrichtern wollt nicht schluck‘, sondern sag‘, „So’n Schwachsinn!“? Steh‘ ich jetzt auf eurer schwarzen Liste weil ich sag‘ „Schröder, verpiss‘ dich!“ und ich dem ganzen Schrott-System meinen Mittelfinger zeig‘? Werd‘ ich jetzt von euch geächtet weil ich mein gutes Recht verfechte zu tun & lassen und zu glauben was ich schlicht und einfach tun, lassen, glauben mag? Seid ihr jetzt gar sehr empört weil es mich ganz heftig stört dass ihr uns betäubt, belügt & aussaugt; von früh bis spät bespitzelt, ausraubt, versucht uns in den Schlaf zu wiegen, den letzten Freiheitsdrang besiegen, benutzt wie eine wegwerfbare Batterie? Würdet ihr mich jetzt gern zerquetschen, eliminieren und zerfetzen, die nackte Wahrheit ausradier’n? Ich sag‘ euch gleich, das schafft ihr nie! Für jeden von uns den ihr töten werdet verliert ihr tausend eurer Herde dein Hass bringt dich unter die Erde, du großer Sonnengott, ich prophezei‘ dir deinen Fall Du kamst herab, du Stern des Morgens, wolltest dir die Welt mal eben borgen „Wer braucht den Himmel wenn man Hölle haben kann?“ Bin ich jetzt ein Terrorist weil ich schrei, „Bezahlt die GEZ nicht!“ Bezahlst du deinen Nachbarn etwa auch dafür dass sein Hund in deinen Garten kacken darf? Meine Ohren sind Geschwülste, wund und taub von dem Gesülze mit dem ihr uns tagein tagaus schier bombardiert Werd‘ ich jetzt auf das Schafott kommen weil ich sag‘ „Boykottiert die T-kom!“ oder „Banker steht für ‚Wanker‘“ „Poli-ticker sind Ar...f.cker!“ „Herr Professor, Sie sind im Irrtum!“ „Herr Doktor, Sie sind Quacksalber! Schluck‘ deine Medizin doch selber oder amputiert euch doch mal selbst das falsche Bein!“?
Ihr habt Denjenigen verachtet Der euch den Sinn des Lebens brachte, wolltet Ihn in eine Schachtel stecken in ein Haus mit vielen bunten Ecken mit Orgelsound am Sonntag Morgen und Glockenklang So wahr Er auferstanden ist, ich bin wie Er kein Terrorist, zumindest keiner der mit Spielzeugwaffen kämpft Sein Wort ist meine Munition. Sag‘ jetzt nicht gleich, „Ach, kenn‘ ich schon!“ Denn du weisst nichts und das was du zu wissen glaubst hat man dir nur einverleibt Und wenn du denkst ich bin voll panne und hab‘ wohl einen an der Kanne dann pass‘ mal schön auf was noch bald vor uns geschieht: Wieviel Eier kannst du kochen, wieviele Tage oder Wochen wirst du überleben wenn man dir den Stecker zieht? Wenn jeder Laden an der Ecke ganz einfach zu ist, Mann, verrecke! Die Welt ist eh‘ überbevölkert – oder nicht? Man muss die Massen dezimieren und das Gesindel eliminieren. Gestern die Juden, morgen die Christen und alle ander’n Terroristen und dann, was dann? Wie fein und, ach, wie toll wird’s sein: Dann läuten wir die neue Ära des großen Führers aller Heere, die langersehnte, wunderschöne neue Weltordnung – ganz ohne Bargeld – ein. Receive the Mark, or die! 16.) El Tiempo del Fin Mañana la vida será mas facil de lo que es hoy dia se piensa el idiota que ignora las senas de la sombra oscura La guerra avanza y pronto nos traerá la última etapa y parte del tiempo del fin La Bestia subirá del agua de muchos pueblos y gentes y harà la guerra en contra de los que tienen el testimonio de vida se abrirá el libro de las palabras de vida del Cordero, pues, es el tiempo del fin Profetas de los siglos heacharon sombras de hoy en sus profecías Perdidos los almas de los que siguen al hijo de la perdicion Benditos los muertos que mueren en el Señor desde ahora, ya que es el tiempo del fin Benditos los muertos que en el Señor mueren de ahora Benditos los muertos que mueren en el Señor

that your faith is built upon? Rock or shifting sand? No place to the snakes, nor the Evil one if you listen to him, you're gonna come undone! he's scared out of his wits of what you're going to be: The Lord's Endtime power-houses, making history! No one is strong enough to stand on their own, without the Word, that standard in your life you will be blown about with every wind of every doctrine, every silly act cause faith is built by faithful study of the Word & that's fact! No place to the Devil, not at any time or level! If your suffer with us now, you're gonna reign forever But if you choose to reign now, you'll lose, so beware of the leaven of the Scribes & the Pharisees' share (1st verse)
12.) No Place To The Snakes! Give no place to the snakes, awake, for Christ's sake! Their lies & their hate just don't cut the cake They've been blinded like fools, they're the Devil's own tools They are suckers for Pan & his motto, "Crap rules!" Can't you see that their intention's to drag you to the pit? Make you despise all that's good & forget about it They won't stop until you cop out & become one of them, join the club of those all heaven calls a crying shame They're despisers of their birthright, they just toss it away for a cheap mess of pottage that's seen better days! 'No place to the snakes!' is our motto today Don't let any cheap excuses steal your crown away! What it all boils down to & on what it all depends is: Are you standing on the Rock or where DO you stand? Is it Jesus & His Word or the System of man

17.) Ich raff’s einfach nicht Ich raff’s einfach nicht, krieg’s nicht gebacken, So’n loser wie ich hat Millionen Macken Ich seh‘ dein Gesicht, fang‘ an zu zittern Du bist mein Sonnenlicht nach dem Gewitter Du bist die Liebe, mein Regenbogen Bist meine Hoffnung, das ist echt nicht gelogen Ich hätte nie gedacht dass mir so was passiert Als hätt‘ mich das Schicksal mal wieder schön angeschmiert
Du bist meine Heldin, die Heldin des Tages Zeig‘ mir dein Geheimnis, erzähl‘ mir’s, verrat‘ es Du bist die Antwort auf all‘ meine Fragen die mich daran hindert vollends zu versagen All‘ meine Wunden hast du wieder geheilt, Du hast dein Leben mit jedem geteilt Bist die Vollendung meiner Symphonie Der Atem des Lebens so pur wie noch nie Ich raff’s einfach nicht, krieg‘s nicht auf die Reihe Bin zu alt für so’n Mist, sieht doch jeder Laie Wer trägt die Schuld dran wenn dein Herz mit dir durchgeht? Wer hat die Geduld wenn deine Welt auf dem Kopf steht?
Du hast mir Reichtum durch deine Armut gebracht Hast mich immer geliebt, hast alles mitgemacht Ich hab‘ alles velor’n beim Versuch zu versteh’n und alles gefunden, denn Glauben ist sehen Ich sitz‘ hier am Boden, mutterseelenallein, wer kann sich’s schon leisten verliebt zu sein Was ist so verkehrt dran, verliebt zu sein? Was ist schon dabei Mann...? Es ist schon in Ordnung veliebt zu sein

July ‘06
Gee, this treadmill’s not for me Free’s what I was meant to be Bono says, “What can we do To free the world from poverty?” I would ask, “what can we do To free the rich from their misery?” Cast your jewels into the river, Watch them sparkle, watch them glitter In colors you have never seen Aaah, stop making such a fuss! Less is sometimes more, More sometimes less Jesus didn’t have a church, a house, no place to lay his head So why do we all think We need a golden king size feather bed? Go on, build your barns & make them bigger for your 15-digit figures you must leave here when you’re gone
that I do or say Blue, blue is the feeling we get when we don't stick to the truth The color I dream in when the words of his lips are so smooth Distoring the things that you see in your mind when you paint it black I fight to win, won't you please be so kind & come back, come on back Blue, blue's when he's dealing another blow to me & you sending us reeling don't you want to win this fight, too? I never promised a fight without scars but if you hold on you'll shine like a star Blue is the ceiling but the sky's just the ground floor of New Jerusalem's healing Baby, that's what we're heading for Into the blue with a new meaning all we lost will be our gain It's true, come with us into the blue
6.) Enneagram Rap Gone. Thanks, Bill Gates, for what you’ve done! You could even make a tiny contribution For this song! I don’t have to envy you As I’m sure you don’t envy me After all, we’re all in the same boat, Big Brother, you & me Except I won’t have to stoop as low To get back to reality The reality that happiness Is merely the ability To enjoy things that money just won’t buy A chirping bird, a sunny sky, To see the donut, not the hole
5.) Blue Blue, blue is a feeling a feeling I get thinking of you the color I see in when I think of the things that you do Believing the lies Lucy tells you 'bout me along with his green-eyed friend, Jealousy Accusing & blaming & twisting the things
I'm ONE - having fun's not what life's about for me I need perfection, every section of my life is squeaky clean Like St.Paul & Martin Luther at the core I'm a reformer I'm a teacher, preacher, innovative pioneer & explorer I'm a TWO, and for me, nothing matters quite like you I need someone in my life to dedicate my passion to Helping others - sisters, brothers, is what I'll most gladly do Because all you need is love & to be loved & needed, too I'm a THREE, I'm a THREE, and a winner I will be nothing less than success is gonna cut the cake for me I don't have much time for failures nor for losers or for wailers I won't stop, close the shop, before I have reached the top (Chorus:) 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 distinguished kinds of human personalities, made in God's design
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 - if you can figure out yours I'll tell you mine I'm a FOUR, and what's more, I am different, that's the score to be anything but ordinary's what I'm striving for to stick out from all the others, I will dress in different colors because beauty is what's gonna save the world, & not your dollars I'm a FIVE and I jive with those who let me live my life In the castle that's my home I prefer to be alone Unless you will let me mind my business and will mind your own To collecting things and hoarding knowledge I am rather prone I'm a SIX, just a SIX - your old average people mix I will play along the game as long as by the rules you stick You don't really need to praise me or tell me that I'm amazing 'cause I fear that's just a game you play to rig things up your way
7.) Straight to Me Straight to Me’s where I want you to run, want you to come To find the answers that you seek Straight to Me’s where I want you to fly, to send your cry Find everything you need I’m always right here for you to come, for you to run to To give you all you can receive I will always answer your requests, yes, everyone As much as you believe Here with Me you will be be Safe, protected from all harm, Sincerely loved and cared for Here inside My loving arms You’ll find true love forevermore (Rep.

8.) THERE
(Chorus)
Ds2-B/Ds2-C6-G
I'm a SEVEN, and to me, life is pretty close to heaven I enjoy myself, & I would like to keep it up, so never let me in on all the ugly things out there, cause that's not clever Just don't worry and be happy & don't spoil the party, ever!
There – there goes a real queen One who’s got everything that a man would want From the woman he loves
I'm an EIGHT, I'm the boss & give you hell if you're too late I will even pick a fight with you, if that is what it takes If you're weak I will protect you, if you're strong I will respect you But provokoing me is something you might easily regret
There – there walks the real thing No matter how small she seems against those big shot imitations on your TV screens Where are all those beauty queens when you’re a man in need Of just a little bit of love You can touch indeed (Br.:) C6-G-Ds2-B/Ds2
I'm a NINE, and I'm fine, even if I lag behind I don't need to be the greatest, I prefer to just be kind Ambition, competition & endeavor's not my mission I'd prefer to bring you peace & like to help you catch that vision
In this whole world I have found nothing better ever True beauty beats all those clowns who think they’re so clever She chased away all my frowns with her smile – Forever I’m gonna sing it out (Em) loud, you’re a (A7) taste of heaven
(Chorus 2x)
(rep. whole song & first 2 verses) There goes the real thing
Babe, you’re a real queen Ds2-B/Ds2-C6-G-Ds2-C6-G-A7… Girl, you’re so much better than their pomp & their lies Everyday I thank my Creator for you opened up my eyes And if I’d write a million letters how could I ever deny That baby, He put us together, He’s the Cause for you & I You & I, Babe Cause you are my real thing The one who’s got everything That a man would want from the woman he loves
When you’ve declared war on the enemies of life You’ll know that life’s more than what they take with bullets or with knives You’ll face the dawn when your last hour on earth will have arrived And you’ll go on as the victor over all of the enemies of life (Chorus) (First verse) …on the enemies of truth (3x)
10.) Rock Bottom Club 9.) Enemies of Truth When (Bm7) you’ve declared war on the (En7) enemies of truth You’ll find the ride rough, turbulent and (Bm7) anything but smooth You’ll face one huge, tough Goliath, stout & (Em7) armed to his last tooth But life ain’t (Cmaj7) life until you’ve declared (G) war (As2) on the enemies of (Bm7) truth When you’ve declared war on the enemies of love You’ll walk a rough trail that you won’t make with no help from above They’ll try to tear you down, destroy you, make you scream “I’ve had enough” But life ain’t life until you’ve declared war on the enemies of love (Chorus:) (Em) Bring truth and love, instead of (Cmaj7) hatred and their (Bm7) lies Replace bondage with freedom, open up their blinded eyes Shatter illusions & expose the foe’s disguise And you’ll see (Cmaj7) God’s new world (Em7) finally a(Bm7)rise When you’ve declared war on the enemies of peace You’ll find the first hill to tackle’s to make your own hatred cease For only then will God’s full awesome power be released Life ain’t life until you’ve declared war on the enemies of peace
It was one of those times when you don't seem much like you're ever gonna amount to anthing much when I came to a sign, "Welcome to Rock Bottom Club!" and it sounded like home, so I went to check it out There was a friendly bar-keep', smile from his toes to his head and with eyes likle he knew every trouble I've had He said, "Sit yourself down, have a cup of New Wine," and with a wink and a grin at the old sign said, "Welcome to Rock Bottom, Rock Bottom the point from which the only way to go's up Rock Bottom, Rock Bottom you're never closer to this joint than when you're near the top Rock Bottom, Rock Bottom Welcome to Rock Bottom Club! As I drank in my New Wine a sound filled my ears made me forget pretty soon about my troubles and fears Just then the keep' came again, I think his name was Josh He said, "You look just like you heart could use a good wash." Said, "If you wanna go somewhere, want to leave a mark, then Rock Bottom is really the place to start When there's no other way that you can go but up you can be pretty sure some day you'll reach the top
But if you ever get dizzy from those heights up there, just remember, young man, I'll always be right here and if you happen to stumble and fall again I'll be happy to welcome you back, my friend, at Rock Bottom, Rock Bottom the point from which the only way to go's up Rock Bottom, Rock Bottom you're never closer to this joint than when you're near the top Rock Bottom, Rock Bottom Welcome to Rock Bottom Club! Rock Bottom, Rock Bottom… (Rep. Choprus)
11.) Follow God
Calculations and equations till your head starts to ache? Uh-uh! Follow God! Mystifying speculation, mind-rotations till late? I’d say, you gotta see God! (Chorus) (rep. last line)
12.) Fall In Love In My Dreams It's 6 A.M., woke up crying again from a dream I wish I'd never had They say dreams aren't real, but the sadness I feel must be more than some ghost in my head Tell me you were never there & I'll forget you forever, girl, but promise me you won't come back cause this wasn't the first time you had me wake up cryin' and I don't think I can handle this yet
(Chorus:)
For God’s sake, follow God ‘cause we’re just gonna have to trust Him, it has come to that For God’s sake, you’ve gotta see God No use in tryin’ to figure it all out in your own head That’s right, you heard what I said: You gotta see God, for God’s sake, follow God! For God’s sake, follow God ‘cause in the end we’re gonna find out we’re not all that smart It’s true, you gotta see God His signs are everywhere to see for open minds and hearts You wanna get it right from the start? You gotta see God, for God’s sake, follow God! (1st verse:) What’s the first thing you should do when you get stuck? Pray! – You gotta see God! Who do you turn to when it seems like you just ran out of luck? For God’s sake, follow God! Who’s the only One Who really knows what’s up? Hey, you gotta see God! (Chorus) For our mission, blind ambition’s not quite what it takes No way! You gotta see God!
(Chorus:) Let me die in my sleep! Don't wake me up from this dream Of all the fools in this world why must I be the one to fall in love in my dreams? Let me die in your arms Is this more than it seems? But girl, please don't be gone when I wake up alone just in love with a dream Mysteries have come and more mysteries have gone but did you have to be one of them? I lie awake with your face in my head and I still feel your touch & think, "Damn!" I'm cryin' my heart out & pray I'm not too loud This ain't somethin' I could explain If I see you in paradise then that's where my heart lies Only tell me I'll see you again (Chorus) (3rd Chorus:) I fall in love in my dreams and as mad as it seems Don't know where, don't know when but I believe in the end you'll be coming for me This life's not all there is that's something I can now see
And well, if that's what it takes to make hearts of stone break, let it be, let it be Yes, if that's what it takes, come again and make me fall in love in my dreams 13.)

(A#s2) Strength to (F) climb when you feel (C) weak (G) And the faith to make it up to that golden (A) peak
Ladies & Gentlemen, let me most humbly present the One Who paid the price to set you free Condemned, executed & tortured to death in a place named Calvary that was a thing He did for you and me that was the thing He'd come to do and be the Savior-Scapegoat of humanity that we should wake up and live

My possessions, attitudes, my self-deceptions & my lies - I give it all to You! - I give it all to You! My reputation, situation, sense of duty to this world - I give it all to You! - I give it all to You! My own will, my selfishness, my independence & my girl - I give it all to You! - I give it all to You!

There's a (D) mighty harvest (A) out there no one's (Bm) reaping (G) there's a (D) big job waiting (A) no one wants to (Em) do (G) And I sometimes think that I can hear Him weeping 'cause the ones who care for others are so few So the (Bm) next time that old (A) loneliness comes (Em) creeping (G) Just be(Bm)lieve with all your (A) heart that this is (G) true:

(F) And then sometimes you might even try to fake it and pretend that all you need is brains & brawn But when the (Am) storms of life tear (G) down your house & (Dm7) shake it (F) (Am) wouldn't it be nice to (G) know you're not a(F)lone?
(Ch.)
You don't (Am) have to be a (G) self-made fool you don't (Dm7) need to show off all (F) you can do there's (Am) really no point that you've (G) got to prove, brother (F) I've got news for (G) you:
"Lucy in the sky" has gone electric: he's panicking and freaking out right now The battle got intense and rather hectic Won't be long till Jesus knocks him out
(C) God (G) needs (Am) you (F) to (C) do what you a(G)lone were meant to (Dm7) do (F) to play that part in His big plan that He knows no one else but you can, to love Him and to know you need Him, too So, when it all comes down to it, remember you're worth, every bit because (Am) God (G) needs (C) you
Everytime the Devil pulls a smart one & thinks he's gonna score a point this time he finds himself out-smarted, licked & out-gunned So he'll just throw a fit & scream & whine
Do you sometimes feel like everybody's watching? And just waiting for the moment you will fall? But then you're not the only one nobody's touching and there's many who feel no one cares at all If you realize there's many others searching Why not turn around & tune in to their call? It's time to take note you're not alone out there there are hungry souls like you everywhere they're just waiting for you to break out & share & to show them someone cares (Ch.)
17.) The Enemy Is Freakin' Out (Chorus:) The Enemy is freakin' out! He's going mad without a doubt He's pulling all his big guns out But there's nothing he can do he's just a raging fool and we're gonna stand our ground
(Chorus)
(Ch.) (Bridge:) Old (Asus2) Satan't just a bluff & not a (D) real threat Intimidation's what he's all about He may pretend he's really quite some (Bm) big cat (G) But (Em) when God's hounds come, (A) he'll just run & (D) shout (Chorus)

1.) Desire (Chorus:)
Hold me close, don’t let me get singed by the fire Hold me tight, don’t let me lead myself astray Keep me close, don’t let me drown in my desire Keep me near, don’t let my heart wander away Jesus, You know me better than I know myself I put on a show, pretend to be somebody else Haven’t we all believed those lies we tell ourselves Help me to be the one You want & no one else (Ch.)
So I walk through my day & once again It’s me and my Savior holding my hand & I’m thinking, “Gosh, what a life!” For I can see beauty in everything & meaning & sense where before there’s been barely the hint of a glimpse of light (Chorus, last half twice)
3.) All I Want I've just gotta tell You, You're really the Best Compared to Your greatness, we're all just a mess To honor You means to be awesomely blessed All I want is You, forget about the rest
Beautiful daydreams, wishing the world were another place Imagining perfect scenes & all flaws gone without a trace But life cannot all be fun & bliss without hard times to face The greater the darkness & sin, the more the light shines with radical grace
So, come & let Your lovelight shine on me & make Your crazy love mine Jesus, You're simply the Best
(Ch.)
So, come & let Your lovelight shine on me & make Your crazy love mine Jesus, all I want is You
2.) Perfect God
Lord, what would I do if I didn't have You? I've said this before, but I've just got no clue Many are called but the chosen are few The few who know nothing else matters but You
I woke up this morning & once again I looked at the state that my life is in Beginning to wonder if it’s right Is this really the way that things should be Or have I failed God or’s He failing me? Then I hear His voice, “Not in your life!”
All I want, all I want is You All I want, all I want is You
(Chorus:)
All I want, all I want is You All I want, all I want is You
I don’t have a perfect life,
So, come & let Your lovelight shine on me & make Your crazy love mine Jesus, all I want is You
4.) Take Me Back (Sept.13, 2006)
(Chorus)
I poured my money into pockets with holes I stored up glitter for what I thought was gold Instead of wealth I've got a handful of stones and a sore spot in my soul
If you’re better than Joe, Congratulations! Way to go! If you’re better than Jim, self-righteousness might be your sin
I poured my water into cisterns with cracks I thought I had so much, turns out that I lacked the essence I lost somewhere along the track won't You please bring it back
Just remember, that little splinter In Jim & Joe’s eye, they’ll survive It would seem, that old beam In my own eye needs more attention
(Chorus:)
(Ch.)
Bring it back, bring it back, the one thing that I most lack Take me back, take me back to Your safe and golden track Keep me safe, secure on Your path so pure Help me stay on the attck Let me be quite sure that there's always more of You Lord Jesus, take me back I tried to sail the storm with boats that would leak Thought my own wisdom would be all that I'd need But now there's blisters on my hands and my feet and a shell that once was me I'd conquer Heaven with a stairway, I thought 'cause, after all, what's there that couldn't be bought? But all my efforts & attempts came to naught Your love's the thing I can't affort
6.) It's Gotta Be I was (G) talkin' to the Lord about some things I'd said 'cause I (Bm7) couldn't really tell had they been good or bad Our in(Am7)tentions may so often be quite good and pure then there's (C) other times that I just wouldn't be so sure So, the Lord said, 'Honey, don't fret nor dismay, there's a simple little rule by which you've got to play And if you'll stick to it you won't go astray, What(C)ever you do, what(D)ever you say, It's gotta be (G) love. It's gotta be (Em) humble it's gotta be (C) true, kind, give peace to the troubled and sight (Am7) to the blind it's gotta set the (Bm) captives free and (C) most of all, (D) it's gotta be (G) Me
(Chorus)
5.) Sinning Saint (Chorus:) I’m not better than you no matter what it is you do We’ve all blowin it, it’s true: I have surely messed up, too I’m not bad better than you I’m a sinning saint like you Some folks just can’t wait They’ve got to bend each bent line straight They see things black & white They’ve got to know what’s wrong or right But Jesus said, it’s best to wait To see what grows there: wheat or weed As much as we would like to be, Perfect’s not the way we emerge yet
So I went about my life & what life's all about and I stuck to the rule, followed that golden route Till a week or so later, must have sheer forgot and a nasty little thing to say slipped out The reaction wasn't quite what I had hoped it was And well, isn't that the way that it so often goes So I'm goin' back to Jesus, what He has to say Said "Remember what I told you just the other day?" (Ch.) So if you're some fellow who's quick with his lip Let me share this with you: don't let nothin' slip that you wouldn't want someone to have said to you and remember that Jesus gave this golden rule: (Ch.)
7.) St. Francis’ Prayer There’s an old (D) song we used to (G) sing Called “All I (Bm) Want Is Serve The (G) King” God, how I long to feel that (D) way To want (G) nothing else but pour (F#/G) myself (Em) out for You (A) every (D) day I thought my foes had hoofs & hornes To vanquish each & everyone’s what I had sworn But no one came as close to putting out my fire As the most treacherous of all my enemies, my own desire (Chorus:) So, let me (Bm) give all I can (D) Let me no (Bm) longer seek to just re(F#m)ceive (A) Let me do (G)anything for any(D)one, any(Bm)where & let me (Em)pray with (F#/Dsus2) all my (G) heart (A) St. Francis’ (D) prayer Where there is hate, let me sow love Let me no longer seek to just be loved Where there is injury and pain Let me forgive again, again and again For it’s in giving we receive By letting go we find the treasures we most seek We’ll be forgiven as much as we forgive And it’s by dying that forever we live (Bridge:) Lord, (Bm) make me an instrument (A) of Your (D) peace (Bm) Let me bring light where (A) darkness (D) is Let (G) me, let (A) me (Chorus 2x) 8.) Anytime Any(E)time, any (F#m°) place, any(Asus2)how (Bsus2) You can tune in to heaven right now Anytime, any place, anyway You can find peace and freedom and All that you’re needing today Anytime, any place, anyhow You can tune in to heavenly music right now Anytime, any place, anyway You can find peace and freedom and All that you’re needing today
(F#m°) Maybe you feel (G#m°) tired & weak Or (Asus2) useless, growing (Bsus2) old Maybe you’ve been cheated by a lie that’s often told You don’t need to look that far for answers to it all Heaven’s right next door, if you need help, give us a call (Chorus) Feeling you’re forsaken & forgotten all along? Honey, there’s a whole new better world that’s coming on Just a drop of His elixir, and you’ll be renewed Tune into the station that is gonna see you through (Chorus) 9.) Winning Team I'd vote for you if you would run for president I'd have you elected as my queen I'd choose you any day over the government 'cause you're the sweetest boss I've ever seen (Ch.:) Cause, Baby, I think you & me, we are a winning team It's true, you see, you can have the driver's seat Cause all we need is love and unity and some humility for us to become a winning team The same goes for our brothers, sisters, all our friends who're with us, trying to change the world with love If we will stick together till the very end our King will find us joined as one when He'll come from above Cause brother, I think you... (Chorus)
10.) Judgment Day What is it that makes you try to avoid me? What makes you run and turn the other way? What is it that you just get so annoyed by Before there's even one word I can say? Why are you so afraid to hear me talking? And way too scared to look into my eyes? Exactly what's it you can't keep from stalking What makes you hide & put on your disguise?
Oh well, that's (D) just too bad that (C) you can't stand the (G) fire Too bad that you're allergic to the heat So sad that it's the truth you don't desire but you prefer to play your game of cheats Your pitiful addiction to the darkness has made you come to fight against the light In this life's play you've fogotten what your part is no longer able to tell wrong from right One simple choice from you could well reverse this and put you back onto a better way: the childlike act of saying 'yes' to Jesus and you'll be justified on Judgement Day What good is it when one man owns the whole world and finds himself afraid to face the light No pinball wizard failed to see "game over" No day failed to be followed by the night
Here He comes, here comes the Son We're all gonna be as one, as one, as one We're all gonna be as one when He comes We're all gonna be as one
12.) Now Now is the moment to touch and to feel You Now is the time to let You live in me Now to experience Your total realness Now I can know, I may trust, I must be Now You're as real as You ever will be Now I can taste You & know I'm alive Now I can tell You're always right here with me Now is the place in time I finally realize (Ch.:) Now & forever You're Power to heal us Now You're the Essence of all that we need Now we are clean through the Words that You give us Now we can be just as free as we'll ever be
11.) As One (Am) Here (B/G) we (C) are, (F) we've come this (C) far (F) crossing that (C) bridge to the (Am) stars and Here we stand daring to defy (F) those who will (C) say that we (G) can't and here we walk, the few who believe that there's more to do than just talk and here we live, ready to die for the truth we must give (Chorus:) Ready to (C) fight an(G)other (F)day It's (G) time to shake off that (C) old, back(G)breaking (F) weight Stop paying the price that He already paid No use hanging on this way Here He comes, here comes the Son the Son and the Father are One and here we run, run to His arms we have only just begun and here we sing, we sing our song cause we belong, let it ring and here we stand because we can do no other than here to stand (Ch.) (G) Here (F) we (C) are, we've (G) come this (F) far Here we stand because we can do no other Here we sing, we sing our song cause we belong
Now is the moment I want to live in You Now is as good a time as can ever be Now's the time to finally let go and let You Now You are here, so it's perfect enough for me Now - one more moment in service to my King Now's where the past and the future unite Now and each day I know You're Everything Happiness, comfort, bliss, love, warmth and power and light (Ch.) Now we can be just as free as we'll ever be
13.) Today Oughtta be hittin' the road, oughtta be hittin' a load of folks out there today Got something stuck in my throat somebody don't want me to get anywhere today So I'm-a pull out my keys and I'm a-stickin' my sword in the face of the Enemy After all, am I free, or am I free, or am I free, or am I free? Free to go where He shows, free to be who my Lord tells me to be today Free to do what He says free enough to serve Him, free to obey
If I don't make any sense is it possible friends you have not yet looked God's way? But if you lend me a hand He can teach you to stand upon His rock today (Ch.:) Cause today is the day Love can show you the way and no matter what they do our say Today's the tomorrow you dreamed of yesterday the sun shines, a good time to make hay yes, today is a good day to live and a good day to give all you got, today
Although your outside’s shiny like a golden polished cow Am I gonna fall for you when all the others will do? No friggin’ way, dude! No friggin’ way, dude! Cause in my heart there burns a flame that’s gonna put your pride to shame, A flame that’s even older than the fallen likes of you In my soul there glows a name that signifies the end of your game Satan, in the name of Jesus, I defy you (solo)
Love is more than a pond, it's an ocean upon which we all can sail away it's as big as the sun & you can change anyone with just one of its rays Come & let's make a move, come & get with a groove, things are gonna be okay It's not a hard one to choose what have you got to lose, c'mon let's have some fun today
14.) No Friggin’ Way Would I trade my faith for your deluded ways of hatred? No friggin’ way, dude! No friggin’ way, dude! Sell my life of freedom for a fake steak in the Matrix? No friggin’ way, dude! No friggin’ way! You can tell me all you want how life evolved in ancient swamps Repeat your mantras ‘til you almost fall for them yourselves Still I won’t believe a word of all your expert schemes I’ve heard enough of all of that so put your book back in the shelf Am I gonna bow down to your idol on the mount? No friggin’ way, dude! No friggin’ way, dude! Take your mark into my head or hand for a discount? No friggin’ way, dude! No friggin’ way! Maybe I won’t be as brave then as I feel right now But I know my God’s gonna save me from your clutches anyhow You can tell me to behave, but I still think you’re so depraved
Do you really think you stand a chance against the Master of the dance? No friggin’ way, dude! No friggin’ way, dude! No friggin’ way, dude! No friggin’ way!
15.) Forevermore I hear them say the words we read don't really mean quite what they say I hear them pray as if they don't expect an answer anyway I hear them say that God could not have made the world in 7 days I hear them justify themselves by saying "loving doesn't pay." I see them endlessly continuing their selfish, rotten game I see them point their crooked finger and yet never take the blame Why do they have to keep on killing, fighting, hurting, in His name? I cannot see how they'll escape from everlasting grief, contempt and shame Why do they have to keep on taking His most holy name in vain? Why won't they ever make attempts to put an end to all this pain? Why are they lying to themselves and to each other for mere gain? Why can't we be content with what we have, but murmur and complain? How can we say that we know better if our works don't show the same? Now is the day to break the fetters, strengthen the things that will remain
"Thou shalt not kill" was hewn in letters that we'd better read again How can we hope He'll come & get us before tribulation reigns?
We’ll start again & play it from the top, the way it ought
I cannot see, I cannot hear, I cannot speak, I'm powerless I only feel and mourn and pray and await that ancient, promised bliss When He that was to come will come again and restore righteousness And every nation on this earth will once again call itself blessed
Soon the sky will open like a tent You’ll beckon us to come on in And join the greatest wedding party there has ever been
Then will that mountain fill the earth, nothing will hurt kill or destroy New life will be born from the ashes, sorrow will turn into joy His name and truth will then be known by each man, woman, girl and boy No longer will the tempter and his legions pester and annoy I don't know when or how but I know one thing is for sure That day will come when all the nations will be cured The project "man" will be renewed, revamped and totally restored The rightful Heir and true King, Jesus Christ will reign forevermore Jesus Christ will reign forevermore Jesus Christ will reign forevermore Jesus Christ will reign forevermore
16.) Soon Soon You will return and pick me up The sky will burn and time will stop All that we yearned for will finally start to come to pass And soon the curse will be removed again Then is this madness gonna end And we will finally be one and walk on hand in hand When You come When You come Soon You’ll wipe the teardrops from our eyes You’ll finally silence all those lies That we’ve been fed for centuries by the traitor, day and night And soon the world will finally wake up & be restored to what it was
When You come, when You come
Oh, soon, we’ll finally make love not war The way we used to do before the fall of man & soon you’ll open up Your Kingdom’s door When You come 17.) Breathe Sweet, sweet, ever so much sweeter is to me the taste of your love When I breathe you in ever so much deeper Deep, deep, Your heavenly love I live, I see, my scope's so much wider Wide, wide as the heavens above (Ch.:) I breathe You in When I breathe You in Climb, I climb ever so much higher strive toward You with all of my heart and soul When I dive, dive into your golden fire that burns the chaff & yet heals like the sun I come to life, I rise from the ashes of what I was before I found the One (Ch.) I fight, I fight ever so much harder while light, ever lighter becomes every task You're my bright shining, ever so much brighter light shower me, in Your love I will bask I'm alright tonight as long as You hold me tight oh right within You to be's all I ask (Ch.)
18.) Everything Belongs II I was thinking if my life was going right or wrong wondering if things were okay as they are But then a sweet voice inside me whispered this song and a warm comfort entered my heart
(C) frei und (Ds2) freundlich und (Em) klar, als (G) hätte ich zu ge(As2)bieten. (C) (Ds2) (Em) Wer bin ich? Sie sagen mir (G) auch, ich trüge die (As2) Tage des Unglücks (C) gleichmütig, (Ds2) lächelnd und (Em) stolz, wie (G) einer, der Siegen ge(As2)wohnt ist. (C) (Ds2)
(Chorus:) Singing "Oooeee-yeah-eeyeah-eeyeah, Everything belongs! Singing ooeee-yeahee, come sing along Singing ooeee-yeah-eeyeahee, if everything belongs, how can there be anything going wrong? Worries are useless, let them be gone, keep your heart full of trust and be strong Through condemnation nothing's ever been won Tell your self-castigations to run" (Chorus) I could feel how my pride was egging me on: "You gotta get up & get something done!" But a voice in my weakness beckoned me to hold on Jesus called me, "Come, let us be one!" (Chorus 2x) Oooeee-yeah-eeyeah-eeyeah, Everything belongs! Ooeee-yeahee, come sing along Oooeee-yeah-eeyeah-eeyeah, Everything belongs! Oooeee-yeah-eeyeah-eeyeah I was thinking if my life was going right or wrong then you came in & sang me this song 19.) Wer bin ich
(Lyrics: Dietrich Bonhoeffer, 1945)
(Em) Wer bin (G) ich? Endloses (As2) Fragen (C) treibt (Ds2) mit mir (Em) Spott Wer ich auch (G) bin, Du (As2) kennst mich (C) Dein bin (Ds2) ich, oh (Em) Gott (Em)Wer bin ich? Sie (G) sagen mir oft, ich träte (As2) aus meiner Zelle ge(C)lassen und (Ds2)heiter und (Em) fest wie ein (G)Gutsherr aus seinem (As2) Schloß. (C) (Ds2) (Em)Wer bin ich? Sie sagen mir (G) oft, ich spräche mit (As2) meinen Bewachern
(Em) Bin ich das wirklich, was ander(C)e von mir (Ds2) sagen? Oder (Em) bin ich nur das, was ich (C) selbst von mir (Ds2) weiß? Un(G)ruhig, sehnsüchtig, (D) krank, wie ein Vogel im (Em) Käfig, (C) ringend nach (Ds2) Lebens(Em)atem, als (G) würgte mir einer die (D) Kehle, hungernd nach (Am) Farben, nach (Em) Blumen, (G) nach Vogel(D)stimmen, (G) dürstend nach guten (D) Worten, nach menschlicher (Am) Nähe, (C) (Am) zitternd vor (Em) Zorn über (D) Willkür und kleinlichste (Am) Kränkung, umge(C)trieben vom (Em)Warten (C) auf große (D) Dinge, (G) ohnmächtig bangend um (D) Freunde in endloser (Am) Ferne, müde und (C) zu leer zum (Em) Beten, zum (C) Denken, zum (D) Schaffen, (Am) matt und be(Em)reit, von allem (C) Abschied zu (D) nehmen? Wer bin (Am) ich? (C) Der oder (D) jener? (G) Bin ich denn heute (D) dieser und morgen ein (Am) anderer? Bin ich (C) beides zu(Em)gleich? Vor (C) Menschen ein (D) Heuchler und vor mir (Am) selbst ein ver(Em)ächtlich weh(C)leidiger (D) Schwächling? Oder (G) gleicht, was in mir noch (D) ist, dem geschlagenen (Am) Heer, das in (C) Unordnung (Em) weicht vor schon ge(C)wonnenem (D) Sieg? Wer bin (Am) ich?

5.) T.I.M.E. How well do you really know the heart of your wife, the heart of your husband, the heart of your child? How well do we really know the heart of God? How much do you really take time to find out the souls of your loved ones and what they're about? How well do you really hear the voice of God?

(Give'em your time!) For what do I really care, immortal souls or fragile possessions, and temporal goals? How much can I really say I'm putting first things first?

Sing About You I shouldn’t sing about You Though that’s just all I can do So maybe I’ll just cover up & make this sound like soda pop Some jingle from the TV slop Cause I shouldn’t sing about You I shouldn’t sing about You Though You’re all I know that’s true So maybe I’ll just drop Your name Before I put myself to shame & I will be the one to blame cause I shouldn’t sing about You I shouldn’t sing about You Though there’s some folks who just do Scream “Hallelujah,” sing & shout Tell all the world what they’re about I wonder how come they’re allowed When I shouldn’t sing about You (Br.:) (Am7) Maybe I can make You a big (G) myste(F)ry So no one has to know what it is I believe I don’t know if I’m bold enough to tell the world about Your love After all, they’re smart enough to figure out what You’re about Let the others sing & shout, I’ll hide my talents in the ground

I shouldn’t sing about You Some folks just shirk when I do Cause You’re just so unpopular You’re all else but a superstar They all say it would go too far If I kept on singin’ ‘bout You

(D-C) We (Ds2) haven't even yet begun to love Time to see eye to eye & ask ourselves, are we the real thing putting to practice what we preach It's easy to fall for lies when we think that we dig the whole thing that life's got nothing left to teach - us When will we really live?

17.) Glauben heisst Sehen Ich dachte immer schwach ist schwach und stark ist stark doch heut' hab' ich gelernt, nee, das war alles Quark Gegebenheiten sind nämlich bedeutungslos denn Gott macht große Leute klein und kleine groß Drum, kehrt mein Schiff auch mit gebroch'nen Masten heim so werd' ich nicht verzagen sondern Ihm vertrau'n Denn nichts scheint wie es ist und nichts ist wie es scheint Unter der Oberfläche kann es oft ganz anders sein Denn Glauben heisst seh'n, wenn auch ganz anders nämlich mit Augen die das Unsichtbare seh'n Hör' auf zu verstehen um zu glauben sondern glaube um am Ende zu versteh'n Da ist ein Weg der scheint den Menschen recht zu sein Jedoch am Ende fliegt er in die Patsche rein Bevor du springst guck lieber vorher noch mal hin und denk' dran dass bei Gott die Dinge anders sind Danke Jesus, dass Du stets gewinnst Du findest uns auch wenn wir schier verloren sind Werden wir auch verfolgt, verspottet, ausgelacht Du bist und bleibst Der der aus allem Gutes macht (Ref.)
18.) Ich rufe dich
(2008) Focus
Wir sind erneut versammelt hier, die 99 Treu'n wir singen Lobgesänge und, ach, alles ist so fein Wir glauben wir haben's geschafft, so sicher hier im Stall Doch wo ging nur der Meister hin? Es ist doch heut' so kalt. Ich weiß, wir diskutieren gern, manchmal tagein tagaus und legen uns dabei die Wahrheit oft von neuem aus Doch währenddessen, irgendwo dort in der dunklen Nacht irrt jemand der zu uns gehört, der Gott noch nicht gefunden hat Drum lasst uns uns zusammentun und aufhör'n mit dem Streit und Jesus helfen, ihn zu finden; ich höre wie Er weint: (Ref.:) Ich rufe dich, ja dich dort draussen in der Dunkelheit Ich werde geh'n um dich zu finden, ganz egal wie weit Ich rufe dich, ja dich, der du umher irrst in der Nacht und wenn du Meine Stimme hörst, dan folg' ihr bis der Morgen lacht Ich weiss dass du dort draussen bist, verloren und allein Doch wenn du Meiner Stimme folgst, dann find' Ich dich bestimmt und führ' dich heim Drum sing' ich dieses Lied für euch, die ihr dort draussen seid Du weisst vielleicht nicht wo du hingehörst, doch mit der Zeit wirst du die Stimme Gottes auch in deinem Herzen hör'n und wenn du Seine Stimme hörst und ihr gehorchst, o kleines Lamm, ich weiss genau: Er findet dich bestimmt und führt dich heim
1.) Calling the Passionate Hearts (Oct.07) See all the thousands of sheep on the hills Scattered in darkness, starving & ill Shepherds won’t feed them, make their plight harder still There’s a torch to be picked up – who will? (Chorus:) Is there no one (someone) out there with passionate love in the hearts Who would give their life for this mission & cause of God’s love? Is there no one (someone) out there with passionate love in the hearts? Calling the passionate hearts Woe to the selfish shepherds feeding themselves Fleecing the sheep and letting them go to hell Where are the bravehearts, seeking God’s will? Will He have to wait longer still? (Ch.) (Bridge:) Where are the ones who are moved by the multitudes, Moved with compassion, willing to die for the truth? Where are the ones who are eager to follow the call Of the one greatest Shepherd of all? (Chorus 2x)

And I say, (G) It's that (D) easy (Bm) There's no condition too (A) bad No circum(G)stances I couldn't change No challenge that could (Asus4) tease Me (First verse) (Ch.:) If you feel tired & weak, call out to Me I'll give you all the strength & power you need I'll show you anything you want to see All is yours if you will call out to Me
The web, the movies & computer games Along with buzzy drinks can sometimes blur our aim Make us forget that we are fighting a war Endless pleasure trips and lethargy can come across like Good & dear old friends to me until I can’t remember What I’m fighting for Lord, take control & lift me up And please make all this madness stop (Chorus) (2nd chorus:) When I focus on you I see nothing is true Except You and Your Cause That matters more than any other thing that I could ever do I focus on You and the more that I do Everything else fades away like a long & sad day With nothing to say until You came my way I focus on You (2x) I fix my mind, I keep my eyes pinned straight on You I’m tuning in, I won’t let go, You’re all I think, You’re all I know Make all this madness fade away There’s nothing else that’s left to say Cause without You it all won’t matter anyway I focus on You Keep me focused on You I focus on You
(rep.) 4.) Rise Above 3.) FOCUS Every day comes with a sheer array of Shiny things designed to make me go astray Countless temptations and distractions coming my way Must have this & “Lord, I still need that” And then I’m craving this, though I’m already fat & there’s this one thing missing for my happiness Until You call me to look up And You make all this madness stop (Chorus:) I focus on You & the more that I do The more I realize that nothin else In this whole world could ever really satsisfy I focus on You & the more that I do The more it becomes clear that all my wants, selfish addictions and desires disappear when I focus on You
Proclaim it now with all your might: Under a bushel’s no place for the light Open the door and let it out What you receive is what you must shout You’re not alive just to stay alive No, that’s not what life’s all about The choice is yours: high or be low Make up your mind & let us know The higher path’s the one you are called to walk All others lead where you won’t go No man lives just to himself alone No, brother, that just isn’t so (Chorus:) Don’t allow to remain unfound all that’s yours yet to retrieve You were born to walk higher ground, life is yours, if you believe Pay no mind to “it can’t be done” nor to those who push & shove
Mountain peeks are your destiny, do what you must do for love: Rise above! Down in the valley they start to scream Because you’re ruining their scheme “Hey, that’s no way, get yourself back down here! Take your place in the machine!” Don’t listen to them, their Titanic is sinking Don’t let them rob you of your dream (Chorus twice) 5.) Together United we'll stand but divided we'll fall that's why we simply must stick together Together we're great, separated we're small we've got to fight and march on together Let's choose to win for the sake of us all let's choose to run, win, work, stand together Let's do our best to heed and answer the call for unity and let's walk together (Chorus:) For the sake of you, for the sake of me for the sake of all: let's get together For the sake of truth, for the sake of peace for the sake of love let's get together You and me, we were meant to be one because we'll be much stronger together A three-fold chord can't easily be undone That's why we've got to hold on together Let's become like the Father and Son as They are One, let's all be together Let's not falter but stick to our guns Let's be in heart, mind, soul, truth, together (Ch.) We've got the answers to the world's problems but only if we stay together We've got the power to master the hurdles but only if we take them together You and me, sister, may never be perfect but we can rise above sin together You and me brother, will never be heard if we won't join hands and sing together (Ch.2x)
6.) Waiting for Tomorrow
7.) Seasons
(Intro: C--Am--F--Gs4-G 2x)
(G---D-C—Em---D-C—G---D-C—Em---C-G)
(C) Yesterdays have (Am) come and gone, to(F)day is all I (Gs4)have (G) and yet, the things I see around me, make me rather sad So (Am) I cling to Your (F) promises of (C) better days a(Gs4)head (G) If (Am) everything will (F) be the way You (Gs4) said, (G) I'm waiting for to(C)morrow
In the spring time of my life I heard the birds like angels sing Thrilled by all the newness every day of life would bring The sky, the animals and flowers, all seemed to be as one in the spring time of my life, my dance on earth had just begun
(intro) You promised You would soon return to save us from this mess And that the world from shore to shore would live in righteousness If that is true & You'll bring true & lasting happiness I can't wait for those changes to take place I can't wait for tomorrow (intro) (Chorus:) All I (Am) have, all I've (F) done, is like (C) ice beneath the (Gs4) sun (G) I would gladly trade the world for one glimpse of Heaven's Son You can keep your here & now with all your things that you call fun But (Dm7) me, I will hold (Am7) out for something (F) better I'm (Gs4) waiting (G) for to(C)morrow (intro) I'm looking forward to the days we won't need planes to fly And no more dark black clouds of smoke pierce holes into the sky No politicians, televisions spouting off their lies A world where all the innocents won't die I'm waiting for tomorrow I'm waiting for a time when there'll be no such thing as war No money, no clichés, but truth and love will tell the score There won't be any evil people, rotten to the core We'll all know: Only idiots get bored! Can't wait for that tomorrow (Chorus 2x) (Choir:) Here in the Kingdom of God's Son true love is all you need Here in His Kingdom everyone's as happy as can be (3x)
In the summer of my life, I danced, I laughed, I drank and sang Sought the company of others, held many a maiden's hand I said, "Sun, you'll be my friend forever, moon, you'll be my bride And I hoped the dance would never end with you right by my side In the autumn of my life I felt the wind begin to blow And the fruits of what my life had sown clearly began to show So I harvested my tears and laughter and deemed it the best I enjoyed the fruits of all my labors and laid down to rest In the winter of my life I could hear the angels sing Ever beckoning to come back to the Source of everything There was some remorse but also joy as I could hear Him say "Welcome back, enjoy forever what I've done for you this day!" In the seasons of my life I learned that everything belongs to love God and one another is the purpose of our song He that sows in tears will reap in joy and gather his reward In the seasons of my life I learned to love and trust the Lord
8.) God of Love
9.) Better Place Dec.14, 07
(D) You say (C9) can’t believe in a (G/a) God of love when there’s (Em7/f#) so much that (A7sus4) just won’t make (D) sense to you How can He be a God of love when there’s so much that’s bad & good things so few? How naív to believe all will turn out good Is this just wishful thinking or true? And you tell me that life has been hell for you Well, life has been hell for me, too
(D) I'm goin' somewhere, (G) I'm gettin' outta here (Em) I'm headin' for (G) New Jeru(F#/G)sa(Em)lem This world's not my home, it's not where I belong My Home's a new and better Place one where (A) I'll behold (A4) my Savior's (A) face
But there’s one difference between our points of view And I think that’s what each of us choose You say, “What do I gain from believing this?” While I’d say, “What have you got to lose?” Just a load full of pride & a heart of blues You ask me, I’d say, that’s quite a deal: Just forget how much life has been hell for you Sister, I know quite well how that feels
(Ch.:) Not satis(D)fied with (G) earthly (A) fakes we'll look on high for God's Own State Won't fall for lies but we will wait for the (G) Real Thing, 'cause we're (A) heading for a Better (D) Place (G-Em-A4-A)
You see, faith is something you can’t touch or see Yet it can take you beyond any star It’s a torch light that leads some place you’ll be free & at home no matter where you are It’s a simple as turning a light switch on Illuminating a dark room & though life may have been quite some hell for you I’m offering Heaven to you Do you believe it? Will you receive it? Can you hear Jesus? He’s standing right at your door & just waiting for You to whisper the words, “Come on in!” Do you believe Him? Will you receive Him? He’s standing right at your door & just waiting for you Come on, let Him in! Do you believe it? Will you receive Him? Just say, “Dear Jesus, come into my heart, take my sin! I want to believe it! I want to receive you! Help me & save me, Come in!”
all of God's true children were never flad-a-wavin' patriots of some earthly land But pilgrims & strangers aware of the dangers in calling some place on earth your home all the way down from Egypt to Rome
(D) I'm goin' somewhere, (G) I'm gettin' outta here (Em) I'm headin' for (G) New Jeru(F#/G)sa(Em)lem This world's not my home, it's not where I belong Darling, the best is yet to come Safe & sound in dear Jesus' arms For justice we hunger, we're never warmongers or patriots of some earthly land But pilgrims & strangers aware of the dangers in making the devil's ways your own all the way from Saigon to Cologne or Alsaka down to San Antone nor your glorious NWO (Chorus 2x) for a Better (D) Place (G-Em-A4-A) (2x) 10.) Home Summoned by the tolling of the bell we run to save as many souls from hell and wake up from the old usurper's spell as come to listen Beckoned by the clearest (sweetest) Voice of all I can't resist the urge to heed Your call to help up anyone of those who fall and carry them back home For there are many people in this world who haven't seen yet and who haven't heard the light of truth that shines forth from His Word oh, come and listen
Come and listen that your souls may live there's no one else Who would have more to give than He Who died to teach us to forgive and carry us back Home For there are dark and troubled times ahead of which the ancients and the sages said that there have been no darker times before nor should they come back anymore Unless they're shortened no flesh should be saved but through this darkness the way will be paved for Jesus to return and take us Home Even so, come & come quickly, Lord Help us to gather all those who are Yours help them to hear Your voice and get on board before You'll take us Home 11.) Send Me A Light Sometimes you feel there's a world on your shoulders, day after day slowly we're getting older, faint seems the visions and dreams that inspired us yesterday, caught in a web of taboos and possessions was the desire for success my transgression? All I want now is to find a way out, a way to escape. Somewhere I know there just must be an answer, a purpose for me in this world to exist for, I don't know where but I won't give up searching till I find, I can't believe that the dream I once lived should be over, and I don't see how it could be that it all should have left me nowhere. Give me new faith to hang on to, give me new hopes I can cling to, send me a light that will guide me through all this night around me. Funny it seems how the things we most long for, once obtained can leave us cold like a closed door, all those material things can bring is such emptiness. Trapped in a cage of clichees and belongings, I don't need a house or a car to feel strong in. All I want now is to finally break out, a way to escape. Somewhere I know there just must be an answer, a purpose for me in this world to exist for,
I don't know where but I won't give up searching till I find, I can't believe that the dream I once lived should be over, how could it be that it all should have left me nowhere. Give me new faith to hang on to, give me new hopes I can cling to, send me a light that will guide me through all this night around me. Give me new hope to hang on to, give me new faith I can cling to, Send me a light, sned me a light, to guide me through the night.

KING OF LOVE (Em) The streets are empty and you (Asus2) hear (Am) the wind blow (D) & whisper of forgotten (G/A) things you don't know (Em/f#)if there is something for you (Cmaj7) to be(Ds2/F#)lieve (Em/D) in (B7) if there is someone you can (C) still hold (D) on to So many years of your whole life seem wasted although of every cup of fame you've tasted but all those streams of pleasure have run dry now & leave you empty with a thirsty sigh, oh But there's a voice that whispers deep within you a voice of hope that cries, 'Let the light shine through! And let it chase all your dark clouds away & change your life into a (Em) sunny (E) day (Ch.:) Let Him (Am) in, let Him (D) in This is the (G) King of Love Who's (C) calling (B/G) (Am) Calling you to come (D) back into the (G) Country of the (Em) Free (E) Let Him (Am) in, let Him (D) in This is the (G) King of (F#/Dsus2) Love Who's (Em) calling (Am) Calling you to (D) come back to be (Gs4) free (G) So many people live in their own cages chains forged by their own hands in selfish rages Prisoners of their own desires & passions yet never really knowing satisfaction But there's a Man Who longs so hard to free them Who lived for love & died for you and me and rose again to set the captives free that we might live for all eternity
14.) Worthy (2.Samuel 22:2,4,7,33) The (A) LORD (E) is my (D) rock, and my (C#m) fortress, (D) and my de(E)liverer God is my strength and power: and He maketh my way perfect. (Chorus:) (D) I will call on the (E)LORD, Who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies. In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and He did hear my voice out of His temple, and my cry did enter into His ears. (Ch.) Who is worthy to be praised (2x) Thou art worthy to be praised You are worthy to be praised
15.) Praise to the Lord Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation! O my soul, praise him, for he is thy health and salvation! All ye who hear, now to his temple draw near; praise him in glad adoration. Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee; surely his goodness and mercy here daily attend thee. Ponder anew what the Almighty can do, if with his love he befriend thee. Praise to the Lord, O let all that is in me adore him! All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before him. Let the amen sound from his people again, gladly for all we adore him.
(Ch.)

16.) Forward, March! (Chorus:) Forward, march! – Army of God, advance! Forward, march! – This is your second chance Forward, march! – Family, this is your dance Forward, march! – It may be their last chance You’ve been My chosen ones for nearly 40 years You’re the work of My hands, My blood, My sweat & My tears Out of America, to the ends of the earth I’ve called you out & now again I send you forth (Chorus) On February 18, 2008 I’ll send My signal shot The world must no longer wait I’m calling you to march, move forward & advance Take the offensive – this is your chance (Chorus) You can do what’s been unheard of, do what’s never been seen You will lead My Endtime Army as you follow your queen You will reap the mighty harvest, you will bring in My sheep You will usher in My Kingdom, wake’em up from their sleep (Chorus 3-4 times)
17.) Salvation Rap In the Beginning was the Word, was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God And the Word was made flesh (was made flesh) and lived among us He came unto His own and His own received Him not (Ch.:) But as many as received, as received, as received Him to them gave He power to become the sons of God even to them that believe, that believe (believe) on His name to them gave He power to become the sons of God You see, He's standing at the door of your heart, of your heart now, knocking, waiting for you to let Him in
You see that all you've got to do is open up your heart now And just ask Him, receive him, ask Jesus to come in (Ch.) You see, we've all been sinners, we've all made mistakes and that's why God sent His Son that through His death we might be saved Because God loved everyone in the world so much, He gave His one and only Son so that through faith in Him we could be saved (Ch.) You can't work for it (work for it) because it is a gift And He won't take it back from you (back from you) because it is a gift you can't work for it, pay for it, earn it, it's a gift you can't be good enough nor too bad, can't deserve it, it's a gift (Ch.) For by grace are you saved through faith - not of yourselves it is a gift of God and not of works - not of yourselves for the wages of sin is death - not of yourselves But the gift of God is eternal - eternal - eternal eternal life But the gift of God is eternal - eternal - eternal life through Jesus Christ (Ch.) Just pray this pray & repeat after me and say, "Jesus, come into my heart! Forgive all my sins, give me eternal life, I believe You are the Son of God..." (Ch.)
18.) Ich bin dankbar Ich bin (G) dankbar dafür dass (C) es Dich (G) gibt Ich bin (Em) dankbar dafür wie sehr (D) Du mich (G) liebst Ich bin dankbar für den Sonnenschein Und dafür dass ich weiss ich bin nie allein Ich (C-G) bin (D) dankbar, bin (C-G) Dir so (D) dankbar Da(C)für dass Du (G) meine (D) Stimme (G) hörst Und mich (C) täglich ein (G) Stück näher (D) zu Dir (G) führst
Doch so ist nicht der der nicht glaubt sondern wie Spreu die der Wind raubt Darum wird der der hasst nicht steh'n wenn der Sturm des Gerichts wird weh'n Und auch erreicht der Sünder nicht den Saal derer die sind gerecht Der Herr kennt des Gerechten Weg Doch der des Gottlosen vergeht
20.) Lobe den Herren (J. Neander)
(Ref.)
Lobe den Herren, den mächtigen König der Ehren; Lob ihn, o Seele, vereint mit den himmlischen Chören. Kommet zuhauf, Psalter und Harfe, wacht auf, Lasset den Lobgesang hören.
Ich bin dankbar dass Du mir 2 Hände gabst & dass Du bei mir bist und Du nie versagst Auch für Nase und Ohren & Mund geb’ ich Dank Und dafür dass ich viel öfter gesund bin, als krank
Lobe den Herren, der alles so herrlich regieret, Der dich auf Adelers Fittichen sicher geführet, Der dich erhält, Wie es dir selber gefällt. Hast du nicht dieses verspüret?
(Ref.)
Lobe den Herren, der künstlich und fein dich bereitet, Der dir Gesundheit verliehen, dich freundlich geleitet. In wieviel Not Hat nicht der gnädige Gott Über dir Flügel gebreitet.
Ich bin dankbar für diesen neuen Tag Und für jeden der mich auch ein bisschen mag Ich bin dankbar für mein warmes Bett Und für unsere Katze, denn die ist nett
Für die Menschen und Tiere der Welt dank ich Dir Auch wenn nicht alle genauso sind wie bei uns hier Und ich dank’ Dir so sehr für die Bibel, Dein Wort Drum will ich’s auch verkünden allen an jedem Ort (Ref. 2x) 19.) Psalm 1 (C) Glücklich (B/C) sind die (Am) die nicht (Gs4)wan(G)deln im (F) Rate (Am7) derer (Dm7) die schlecht (Gs4) han(G)deln und (F) nicht im (Am7) Rat der (Dm7) Sünder (C) geh'n nicht (F) lungern (Am7) wo die (Gs4) Spöt(G)ter (C) steh'n Sondern sich freu'n am Wort des (Am/G) Herrn es Tag und Nacht tief in sich hör'n Ein solcher ist so wie ein Baum gepflanzt nah an des Flusses Saum Der Früchte trägt zur rechten Zeit und dessen Laub ihm ewig bleibt Und was er auch beginnen mag es bringt ihm stets seinen Ertrag

2.) Sometimes
(2008b) Good Day to Die
Sometimes I just can't see beyond my nose Sometimes I just feel like I could explode And I feel like I'm trappend in some wrong episode Then again sometimes I feel strong and so full of faith certain that there is nothing I can't take Wondering if anyting could ever cause my world to shake (Chorus:) Sometimes I'm on a losing streak And that's when I find suddenly I reach the peak Sometimes I think I own the world and that's when I wind up the silliest nerd 1.) Adam & Eve (Chorus:)
Call me (D) naive, but (G) I still be(A)lieve in (G) Adam & (D) Eve (As4) Call me in(D)sane but I think when it rained just Noah's family remained Call me a fool, but I think it's cool that Jesus Christ's gonna rule Maybe I'm gone for (G) writing this (A) song, but I will sing on Born & raised in a (D) country where people just (A) "know" that they descended from (G) monkeys Can be just a bit squeezy when they get into teasing folks who believe in Jesus And it's not like they're blissful, thinking they're just fistfuls of primordial soup that one day crawled out on land Overly glorified mutants, specialized in disputing things they don't understand (Ch.) If you just keep repeating the same old lie, folks won't think that you're cheatin' Cause they'd never assert you'd have such a nerve, instead of fearing a beatin' And if this worked before, they figure there must be more people to pull some wool all over their eyes And what they call education in our civilized nations doesn't amount to much more than just a big pack of lies So, (Ch. 2x)
Sometimes when I think it's the end You tell me, "Hey. let's start again!" When I think there's no way I can You punch through & comfort me, tell me, "I'm your biggest fan"
Sometimes I feel like I could fly away & other times all I can really do is pray Seems like those are the times when I accomplish things Your way Sometimes I think I'm cool like Superman Other times I am a loser like Clark Kent But that's when I give You the chance to shine through me again (Chorus) 3.) Say What You've Got to Say Boy, you've got something to say so don't just lock it away Let it burst, let it flow They don't need more silly songs but one who tells'em what's wrong and which way to go (Am) Say what you've (G) got to say (Em) speak what's on your (F) heart to speak Show them the life and way and truth they may not seem to seek Give what you've got to give Don't hide what you received They may not show today what soon will be known, that you've got just what they need
It may not promise success, this road that looks like a mess compared to Mammon's big guns But you're to free them from fear and not just tickle their ears there's more at stake here than fun (Ch.) (Br.:) (Dm) Give them new (Am) life for real a (F) love that's not (G) found in this world (Dm) Tell them a(F)bout the deal (Em) that's guaranteed (Am) out of this world Never again may this chance come around To lead (G) this soul Home So, (Ch.)
To my God I cry, “Oh please, don’t let the love in her die!” Save her from their lies they are feeding her now Make her stronger somehow And believe what they don’t (Ds4) allow As (C) she tries to (D) play that (G) role (Em) And follows where there’s no goal Faithfully rides down that road everyday Through the heat and through the cold To the murder of her soul To the murder of her (G) soul
5.) Sum of the Parts Guess I'm not much of a hero today I'd rather let You be the Star, anyway Of all the things I can ever do or say not one could begin to compare with the price that You paid
4.) Soul Murder There she (C) goes a(D)gain, to her own (C) slaughter, just (D) like a (G) lamb (Em) Unaware of them conforming her to their scam Obediently plays her role She follows, though there’s no goal She faithfully walks down that road everyday Through the heat and through the cold To the murder of her soul (Em) She carries a (D) heavy (G) weight (C) Determined she won’t be late Habit has told her that this is her home And the place where she belongs She (C) tells her friends (D) things that will make her fit in And subtly as in dreams takes part in the machine And where (C) once a child uninhibited, shameless and wild Change is taking place in her spirit, her style, on her face Obediently plays her role She follows, though there’s no goal She faithfully walks down that road everyday Through the heat and through the cold To the murder of her soul And I (Em) bleed (D) inside, though my (C) anger & pain I can’t (G) hide Where has (Em) gone the (D) child that I (C) once used to know Who was (B/G) real, without show With a (Am7) light shining (D) from her (G) eyes
Guess I'll let You be the Hero today we're only Your weak, humble brides anyway If You're strong in our weakness, guess that's okay You're perfectly welcome to take the lead now and always I'm hopelessly lost without You, Lord, today You're more than a compass, You're (both) guide and the way I'm totally helpless without You right here You're all that has mattered & will ever matter for real Cause whether we live, Lord, we live unto You And whether we die, Lord, it's unto You, too (whatever You choose) As much as the world has to offer each day You're more than the sum of the parts any of us might play So please, take this song from my heart, Lord, I pray I only return what is Yours, anyway If I may only partake of Your grace I'll know 'll have found more than I could any other place And if I worship, Lord, let it be You, and not just an image my mind made of You Cause You deserve no less than love that is real our passion, commitment, all we can give, fathom or feel ... You're more than the sum of the parts of us all anyway
6.) Good Day to Die (Ch.:) It’s a good day to (As2) die, Good day to (F) teach’em how to (G) live (Ds2) Bid one last goodbye to pride & give all I’ve got to give Kill off those lies stopping me from helping you believe Yeah, it’s a (F) good day for me to (G) die for you, my friend (Ds2) (F) die that (G) you might (As2) live Thank you for killing my pride by revealing a side of me I never knew I’m not the man I thought I was Thank you for teaching me well that we all deserve hell unless by His grace We choose to receive the Son of God Thanks for the way you wipe out my suspicions & doubts By showing me where they lead & where they’re coming from Thank you for being around to show you all I’ve found Even if it turns out that you want none of it (Ch.) Thank you for lending an ear & confronting your fears In accepting me here telling you there’s more than this And if you open your heart & say your little part You’ll be taking a step you won’t ever regret Don’t think I’m leading you on with the words of this song I believe & I mean every little part of it Someone must die that another may live & I’m here to tell you That that’s precisely what Jesus did
7.) Love Harder (Chorus:) We've got to learn how to (Em) love better (Cmaj7) love stronger, (Bm7) love deeper, (Am7) love harder (Bm7) learn to hear (Em) much better, (Cmaj7) feel stronger (Bm7) look deeper, (Am7) try harder (Bm7)
(Em) How any of us here can (Cmaj7) quite sincerely (Bm7) say that we love (Am7) others (Bm7) in the (Em) way that they are (Am7) yearning to be (Bm7) loved - a love that's (Am7) truly from a(Em)bove? Do we take time to make them see that we are here for them 'cause we renounce all lesser purposes than love because that's what God is? (Em) How any of us here can (Cmaj7) quite sincerely (Bm7) say that we know (Am7) others (Bm7) in the (Em) way that they are (Am7) yearning to be (Bm7) known, accepted as one of our own? The word "respect" means "look again" so, look and recognize your friends for who and what they truly are because... (Chorus) (Em) How any of us here can (Cmaj7) quite sincerely (Bm7) say that we are truly in the (Em) way that Jesus Christ taught us to walk? Our deeds tell more than what we say So let us all do more than talk and not just know but walk the way How many of us are distracted by the means of keeping rolling the machine? We feed our bodies, not the soul and consequently fail to know what it is that makes us all grow Oh,
(Ch.) (Chorus) Good day to die that you might live (4x)
8.) In Thy Skirts
(Jeremiah 2:34)
Thousands of unborn new babies each day are legally murdered the civilized way In the name of progress, the name of advance they are stripped of each semblance of even a chance You may cry your heart out while they bleed to death Or think you're so great cause you stole their first breath In thy skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents 10.000 starvation victims a day while we carelessly throw our leftovers away We're all so clever, developed & smart We consider killing each other an art You may shrug your shoulder while they starve to death and plan which country you're going to ruin next
9.) Never Quit No, I'm not giving in, I'll keep hanging on I'm not giving up, never gonna stop No, I, I refuse to quit, I'm destined to go on I may not be that strong but I carry on Never quit! Do you sometimes feel as if nobody cares no one shares the burdens that you bear? Do you sometimes wonder "Is anybody there?" Well I can relate if that's how you feel I know it's real but I assure you, it's no big deal Cause when temptation bids me to give in, saying, "You can't win" and when the Enemy is closing in, I just grin and answer, (Ch.) Do you sometimes feel as though your life's a mess the more you give, they all could not care less? Do you sometimes wonder where's the point in this? Well, I've been there, too, it ain't somethin' new
Whatever you do, grit your teeth and follow through And when temptation bids you to give in, saying "You can't win" and when the Enemy is closing in, show him your grin and answer 10.) My Only Hope (July 6, 2008) As we're (Am) faced with the challenge to rise above The (G) pain inflicted on us by the ones we love The (F) lessons I glean lead me to conclude: My (Dm) on(Am)ly (F) hope's (Gsus4) in (Am) You Since it's hopeless trying to figure out (G) what it is we all get so annoyed about the (F) one thing that sticks out beyond a doubt is true: My (Dm)on(Am)ly (F) hope's (Gsus4) in (C) You in (Gs4) You Lord, my (Dm) on(Am)ly (F) hope's in (Gsus4) You It can be (Am) fatal to assume that flesh and blood can do the (G) one thing that has been reserved for Someone Who knows (F) all about our bugs and Who can fix'em, too Our only hope's in You Yet sometimes we expect of others more than (G) what they presently are eligible for we (F) press them into molds carefully construed when our only hope's in (C) You in (Gs4) You Lord, our (Dm) on(Am)ly (F) hope's in (Gsus4) You So (F) break our idols, (Am7) put a stop to (Dm7) our delusion, (C) wake us up The only One it pays to put our eyes upon is (Gs4) You The world doesn't need another pair of feet of clay But Someone Who'll assure us that we'll be okay I made up my mind, Jesus, it's You I choose My (Dm) on(Am)ly (F) hope's (Gsus4) in (Am) You Before I lose another bet I placed on someone else's promises or pretty face I'll stick to the solution that has proven true: My (Dm)on(Am)ly (F) hope's (Gsus4) in (C) You in (Gs4) You Lord, my (Dm) on(Am)ly (F) hope's in (Gsus4) You In (Am) You, in (Gs4) You Lord, my (Dm) on(Am)ly (F) hope's in (Gsus4) You
As we're (Am) faced with the challenge to rise above The (G) pain inflicted on us by the ones we love The (F) lessons I glean lead me to conclude... (Dm) (Am) (F) (Gsus4) (C)
11.) Believe It Or Not (Chorus:) Be(C)lieve it or not, there is a (F) God, and He’s (C) hot He’s greater (Dm) than everything but Still small e(F)nough to fit in(G)side your heart Believe it or not, there is a chance that He’s got A place for you in His own Hut Your very own reserved and personal spot Believe it or not, His love is more than a lot There’s nothing He would want more Than welcome you inside His “Care-a-lot” Believe it or not, there is a proof to this plot: He sent His Son to the world To die for you & me, believe it or not Be(C)lieve it or not, with every (F) breath that you (C) take God proves that (F) He loves you (Am) with a love that (F) nothing can (G) shake Believe it or not, to find relief from your sins All (that) you must do is open, & ask the Son to come in Be(Am)lieve it or not, but it’s as (F) simple as that God’s greatest (C) gift is so easy for any(G)body to get Believe it or not, it won’t take more than a thought To know that the best part of your life has not happened yet (Ch.)
12.) Freedom I can show you the way to freedom, if it’s freedom you want If you want to be led, I will lead on and teach you to confront All your fears, all your lusts & your demons, so they’ll no longer haunt If you’re blind, I can teach you to see them This is your freedom, if it’s freedom you want Freedom from numerous addictions to things you think you need Freedom from slavery to fiction, fables that make you bleed Freedom from fears and inhibitions, nightmares, worries and superstitions Freedom from their lies and delusions, disinformation and confusion Freedom from their control and intrusion: This is your freedom, if it’s freedom you want I can show you the way to freedom, if it’s freedom you want If you take Jesus and receive Him, you’ll need no more to run If you stick to His Words and do them, you’ll be His follower in truth and You will certainly know the truth then and that truth is gonna make you free, man Things you are blind to right now you will see then This is your freedom… Freedom from fears and inhibitions, nightmares, worries and superstitions Freedom from their lies and delusions, disinformation and confusion Freedom from their control and intrusion: This is your freedom, if it’s freedom you want We are the ones whom the Lord has raised and prepared to lead you through the darkness that’s to come We are the diamonds of dust who shine and sparkle in the sunlight of the One We are the shepherds who were sent to find you, gather you into the Master’s fold We are the children of the David of the End God sent and long ago foretold
Believe it or not, but there’s a power within Enabling even the weakest of losers to win Believe it or not, but if you follow Him Any need you may counter He will fill to the brim Believe it or not, but what you’re looking for Has come looking for you and standing right at your door Believe it or not, but you will see in the end If Jesus won’t turn out to be your totally coolest Friend
13.) Give Me Truth (Ch..:) Oh, give me truth, whatever you give me Don’t need to paint it nice for me Cause what’s the use, if I can't believe in it I’ve heard enough lies in my day I'm not the kind who choose to blindly grope through a dark world, Where artificial lighting sets deluded minds awhirl
Don't tell me lies, no alibis, no sweet, enticing words I'd rather have it straight, the facts - even if it hurts (Ch.) I must confess, I don’t like darkness all as much as light But careful with those coloured spotlights, when they get too bright To really see what’s going on, we need the light of truth And that sometimes reveals some things you won’t hear in the news (Ch.) I do appreciate you efforts to be friendly & polite The most politically correct, smart diplomat in sight But what I need is honesty to make it through my day It’s not the smoothness of your words that counts with me, no way (Ch.) 14.) Depending On You (Intro: G-F#/Dsus2-Em-C 2x)
Here I (G) stand by Your (F#/Dsus2) grace Bringing (Em) nothing but a (Em/D) heart full of (C) praise (D) I have tried for too long On my own, but I just wasn’t that (C) strong And as (C) I discard from my life all I (B/G) find less than true I trade (Am7) (in) those substitutes for the re(Em)solve that I’ll (Dsus4) be Depending on (G) You (intro) Let it rain down on me Let the water of Your Word wash me clean I’m afraid what I seemed & I thought to be was not really me And as You discard from my life all that’s much less than true Teach me one skill that will serve me when all other fall through: Depending on You
(Chorus:) De(C)pending on You I find (B/G) new strength within for things that (Am7) on my own I just couldn’t (G) do (D) Depending on You I am protected and know That there is no battle I could ever (Dsus4) lose Here I (G) stand by Your (F#/Dsus2) grace Bringing (Em) nothing but a (Em/D) heart full of (C) praise (D) I have tried for too long On my own, but I just wasn’t that (C) strong And as You discard from my life all that’s much less than true Teach me one skill that will serve me when all other fall through: Depending on You (Chorus) 15.) Yearn for You Every day has a new riddle for me Like crawling through a fog on hands and knees Question marks in the dark Where's the spark that will just shine enough light on the shadowy path before me? There are many things I just can't see unless You reveal them to me I've no clue where to go, what to do unless You show me & lead me & guide me Oh, Jesus, (Chorus:) I yearn for You I'm burning to learn so much more from You Teach me, Lord, let Your Word make my world more like Yours Open my eyes and my heart, Lord and teach me to see I want to be so much more like You, Jesus Change my heart, give me a new start, a new part to play in this mystery called life Jesus, show me the way! Every day brings a new challenge to me like a new prison from which to break free Whispers and voices surrounding me pointing in different directions in my quest & search for the key
(half intro) (mod.)
There are many things I just can't see unless You reveal them to me I've no clue where to go, what to do unless You show me & lead me & guide me Oh, Jesus, (Chorus) Put the right words on my lips to say Be my way, make my day fill every moment with Your light, Your love & Your presence Oh, Jesus, (Chorus) 16.) Praise to the Lamb (We Are the Same) (E) Praise (C#/As2) to the (E) Lamb slain (A) from this (F#m) world's foun(Bs4)da(B)tion (A) Praise (G#m) to the (C#m) One Who (A) was and (F#m) is to (B) come Praise to the Savior of all tongues and nations Praise to the Lord Om(A)nipo(B)tent Who (E) reigns Praise Him Who's come, redeemed us from our failures Praise Him Who was and is, will always be Praise to the Star Who'll rise for us each morning Healing in His wings, Jesus, King of (E) kings (Speed: 84) Though we were (A) nothing but (B) clay yet (G#m) He found a (C#m) way to (A) take from (B) us our (Es4) shame (E) Though we were (A) nothing but (B) dust He be(C#m)came one of (F#m) us Through (A) Him, the (B) Son of (Es4) God (E), (A) now we (B) are the (E) same (12-Step: 84) (Chorus:) (E) We (F#m) are the (B) same, (A) sons of God (B) through His (Es4) name (E) Re(F#m)deemed, (A) pardoned, (B) saved, cleansed (A) by His blood (B) from our (E) shame Re(F#m)born (A) by His (B) grace, He's (A) made us His (B) bride with (A) nothing to (B) hide Oh, (F#m) praise Him, we (B) are the (E) same
17.) Babylon the Great Babylon the Great is gonna meet her fate In one hour of one day she will be blown away Because she has made drunk with the wine of her fornication all the peoples of this earth, of every tongue and nation And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus in her was found the blood of prophets and all that were killed on the earth Babylon the Great is going to have to pay for her war-mongering, whoremongering, false & evil ways As much as she has glorified herself & lived deliciously So much torment & pain give her who sits there like a queen For the merchants of the earth have grown rich through her delicacies So come out of her, for God remembered her iniquities Babylon the Great is waking up too late therefore shall her pagues: death, famine and lament, come in one day So pay her back double portion of the cup she gave to you So rejoice over her, heaven & saints, for the Lord, the Judge, is true For in one hour such great riches they shall be no more & the voice of harpers & pipers shall be heard in thee no more And no craftsman of whatever craft he be shall be found no more in thee And the voice of the bride and the Bridegroom shall be heard no more in thee For by your sorceries were all nations deceived Babylon the Great is fallen - is fallen, in one hour is your judgment come Babylon the Great is fallen - is fallen, come and see what she has become Babylon the Great is fallen - is fallen, in one hour is your judgment come Babylon the Great is fallen - is fallen, come & weep over what she's done

18.) American Man (Norteamericano)
19.) Para la Muerte
Ac(Em)a me llaman Don José y solía vi(D)vir del terrano Pero hoy observo mi (Am) vida escapandome (Em) de la mano Siempre hubo ciertas cosas que me parecian extraño mas nada como al conco(Am)cer al nortea(Em)mericano
I don’t dear her, she’s my lover I just move on, I’m just coming Home
My name is Don Jose and I used to live off the land But now I watching my life slowly slip through my hand There always were things that I simply could not understand But never the same as since I met the American Man
“I am the Resurrection and the Life, He who believes in Me will live even though he dies And whoever lives and believes in Me will never die Do you believe this?” (John 11:25, 26)
Please don’t grieve for my goodbye It’s not forever I’m not really gone No la temo, es mi amante Solo muevo adelante a mi eterno Hogar
20.) Ganz nah (Em) O, (D) nunca volvera a ser lo (C) mismo el grano gracias (Am) a la ayuda amist(D)osa del nortea(Em)mericano Oh, things will never be the same Thanks to the friendly support of the American Man El dijo, “Debes ser astuto, usa mi grano especial Y el dinero se vendra cayendo como una torrente celestial” Mas en vez de cosechas que alimentaran mi pueblo hoy tengo Pienso para Ganado para (Am) que pueda comer mas carne el gringo
Ganz nah, ich brauch' Dich ganz nah Wenn ich Dich nicht bei mir spür' bin ich nicht ganz da Ganz nah, ich brauch' Dich ganz nah Lass mich Dein Herz in meinem klopfen fühl'n sag' mir, was ist wahr Bist Du so weit weg wie sie's uns einreden wollen? Sind wir bloß ein Stück Dreck, dem Urschleim Zufall entronnen? Sind wir nur ein Patent - 'ne Art Massenproduktion? Oder bin ich Dein Kind und vielleicht wartest Du schon?
He said, “You gotta be smart, Joe, use my special grain And you’ll see the money come falling from heaven just like the rain But instead of food crops we need I’m now growing cattle feed For the rich in the north to stuff their gloated bellies with meat
(Ref.)
O, nunca volvera a ser lo mismo el grano gracias a la ayuda amistosa del norteamericano Oh, things will never be the same Thanks to the friendly support of the American Man
(Ref.)
O nunca me engañaron tanto Como los senores honrados de la impresa Monsanto Oh, life will never be the same Thanks to the friendly support of the American Man
Sind wir vorprogrammiert dazu uns selbst zu zerstör'n oder sind wir bestimmt dazu zu Dir zu gehör'n? Hast Du uns gar schon satt oder fängst Du jetzt erst an uns zu zeigen was Deine Liebe bewirken kann?
Sag', bist Du die Liebe Selbst, so wie Dein Buch Dich beschreibt oder ein Supergehirn das hier sein Unwesen treibt? Ist Dein Name Jehovah, Krishna, Buddha, Allah oder bist Du der zu dem uns're Seele ausruft, "Papa!"? (Ref.)
O, nunca volvera a ser lo mismo el grano gracias a la ayuda amistosa del norteamericano Oh, things will never be the same Thanks to the friendly support of the American Man Thanks to the friendly support of the American Man Oh, the American Man Oh, the American Man

(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
rd
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.)
(2009 Vol.2) The Deeper Meaning of Everything
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 1.) My Hiding Place My hiding place where no one goes, that's where I wait for them to know that neither power, luck nor gain determine who will truly reign My hiding place where this is heard: "In the beginning was the Word" where neither day reigns nor the night, but only Your eternal light my hiding place My hiding place, where there's no room for wealth nor money to consume but only love there reigns supreme, and shines on me its golden beam My hiding place, that's where you'll find the One Who rules my heart and mind So vast and great and yet so close, my every thought and dream He knows My hiding place

My hiding place, that secret spot Your Holy Book has spoken of where shepherd king David of old found refuge from the bitter cold For he who dwells beneath Your wings will stand when all else around sinks and they who find comfort in You know they've a Helper strong & true, my Hiding Place
My hiding place, that's where you'll find me leaving this old world behind a place of peace within the storm, You are my Rock, Safety and Warmth You are the hand that shelters me, the only One Who sets me free I can't get nothing out of life unless there's You for me to hide, My Hiding Place
2.) The Deeper Meaning of Everything The (C) deeper meaning of (Am) everything is (F) hidden (G) in plain (C) view But if your god is coincidence it's plain that you've been screwed The deeper meaning of everything is what we learn to see if we acknowledge we're blind and bound and long to be set free
& soon he first little froggie crawled out on the land But then he crawled right back, became a little fish, found himself a wife & said, "Ich liebe dich" They grew and grew till the day they crawled out again and the four-legged whales roamed about the land But soon got tired of that, since they had no beer Kissed the land goodbye, said, "Let's get otta here! Let's cut this walking crap, I wanna float and swim, become a dinosaur & then a man named Jim!" ("Is that really how it happened, Daddy?" - "You better believe it, Sonny!") (Chorus 2x)
(F) Oh, (G) what do you think you (Am) know? Has your (F) world room (G) left to (F) grow? (G) What do you think you (Am) see? every (f) flower, (G) bird or (C) tree has a (G) lesson to teach (Am) you & (F) me if (G) you see... (Ch.) So you've really got a college degree you think you know and see more than folks like me I just enjoy what God's giving me revel in His synphony the best things in life are free if you see...
4.) Invisible Man I'm the Invisible Man, nobody sees me or gives a damn I'm the Invisible Man, they don't see me, but I see them I'm the Invisible Man, never the target of anyone cause I'm the Invisible Man I keep my vision (focus) upon the Son I'm the Invisible Man, no one's aware of that here I am See, I'm the Invisible Man, nobody sees me, but I see them
(Ch.) 3.) In the Land of the Apeman-Tale (Chorus:)
In the land of the apeman tale the little ant is the brother of the whale The kangaroo is the sister of the snail because they all evolved from a single cell In the land of the apeman tale they all "know" that there is no hell They've evolved, but they sure can't spell They've come a long, long way from the Land of Angels to the day they fell In the land of the apeman tale Once upon a time here on planet earth some water fell on the land and it soon gave birth to the first little cell, sprouted some legs & hands
I've got nothing to lose, that's why they leave me do as I please I've got Someone I choose way above me and I'm free as a breeze Truly how dreary it must be to be seen like birds in a cage or a star on a screen Always concerned about pleasing the crowd I just can't figure that that's what my life's all about So glad that... (Chorus) I used to be plain in everybody's sight bending over backwards to do all things right I put on my mask and I tried to be cool until the day I quit the game and I broke every rule And that's why...
5.) Junkie for Your Truth Pillars of light lead me Home to the place where everything's right that has always been wrong here No matter where I am, You're there to lead me on Hisses and squeals from the slaves of the serpent threaten me all along my way, still I'm bent on reaching my goal no matter what they say or do (Ch.:) I need another shot of You cause I'm a junkie for (Your) the truth Shelter (Keep) me from their poison flood and soak (bathe) Me in Your precious blood I need another shot of You The only Stuff that will ever do Give me more of that Spirit Juice Cause I'm a junkie, a junkie for Your truth
You're the first and the last of all that is and was Only You, only You (Ch.:) Only (D) You managed to make (A) happiness mine when all (Em) else had failed to (G) make me feel (A) fine Only You have truly always been there Never once let me down or failed to show that You care Only You, only You Only You are the Love of my life cause no one else knows who I really am deep inside Only You've got that place in my soul One You're the key that fits in that God-shaped hole Only You, only You
Make me a stonewall they'll chew out their teeth on Not nudge an inch from the truth I stand upon Make me a rock in their midst, Lord, a rock like You Pitiful pleas for me finally to give in cannot divert me from Your Wine I drink in No way I live without dying each day for You Ch. Bridge: Cause with(F)out it (G) I just can't go (As2) on I (F) need Your (G) truth to keep me (F) strong (G) (Ch.) 6.) Only You (D) Only You can give (A) meaning to life (Em) Only You can make (G) all wrongs turn (A) right Only You truly can satisfy every deepest yearning, answer every "Why?" (G)On(Bm)ly (A)You, only You Only You can turn darkness to light and bring peace to every man and woman and child Only You know the answer because
(Ch.:)
7.) Popularity People are asking me, "Hey, where's your money, dude? Are you nuts? You can't just live the way it pleases you!" But they don't understand that I can't live that way: another cog in the machine, same old rut every day They say, "How come he doesn't want to play our game? Are you a coward, or a weakling, are you not ashamed?" But I just know that your game ain't the one that's meant for me, your hunt for entertainment, cash and popularity (Chorus:) Come, oh come, heavenly One Come shine on us like the sun (2x) Popularity is not the thing for me because the One for Whom I live was nailed onto a tree He wasn't popular, He was no superstar That was a lie cooked up by someone that's gone way too far
My Lord was persecuted, executed like a thief So to think they'd make me famous would be quite naive As long as I am truly servant of God's Son this world and I are never gonna be as one I'm only here to say how much you're being loved No matter how often you turn your back on God There is no greater beauty than His glorious light: Jesus the Son Who brightens up my darkest night (Chorus 2x) (Rep. last 2 verses)
while you have been the greatest violator of those same rights all along Your only law's your greed and treachery's your norm You've sown a wicked whirlwind, now you'll reap a wicked storm God damn America! God damn America! You fight your wars in the name of God and of democracy But fools are they who think that God ignores hypocrisy
(Chorus) God damn America! 8.) God Damn America! If (Ds2) "blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth," then (C) what about those who will kill a (Ds2) child before its birth? If "blessed are the peacemakers" and they're the children of God, then (C) who's the father of the butchers of the (G) victims of Iraq? God (C) damn Am(Ds2)erica! If God's command is love and all they do's wage war, then who'll deny that Satan is the god they're living for? If Jeremiah Wright is wrong and Kissinger is right, then who'll deny that Jesus is the enemy you fight? God damn America! God damn America! You fight your wars in the name of God and of democracy But fools are they who think that God ignores hypocrisy God damn America! God damn America! You're preaching to the world of human rights and what is wrong
God damn America! God damn America! God damn America!
9.) Losers Turn Winners The fake of the century's revealed now, though some are still blind and can't see, it just isn't all gold that glitters, not everything's good that is cheap. And some things can be quite expensive and bring you deep down to your knees, for those things you insisted on having, you may find out your life was the fees. For some people life is a teacher and others won't ever perceive, too late, much too late comes the awakening, they find out they have been deceived. The mystery's past comprehension to sqare minded natural men, the harvest they'll reap is damnation, let's break loose as long as we can. So here's to all of you captives who really believe to be free but are bound by the chains of your own bigotries, traditions, rivalry and greed. I just can't cope with all their hatred, the madness in all that I see, oh God, I beseech you to bring it to halt, this system of idolatry. For you who may think we're the losers, for lack of material gain,
may find out when we'll reach the end of the road, that the losers turn winners again, the losers turn winners again. The line's drawn between those who're simple and blindly just treading along, and those who know just what they're doing, they'll have you all sold before long. Their plan has been kept through the ages and soon will have come to its end, the plot is complete and has rendered the whole world in the palm of their hands. I damn all your weavings of evil, your rituals, cursing and spells, compared to the light you're just fooling around your road will just land you in hell. I pray for all those you have blinded that one day they might again see, I pray for the ones you have bound with your lies that the truth will again set them free. And though you may think I'm a loser for lack of what you call success I'd rather be poor as a peasant than found guilty of all your excess. Yeah, you who may think we're the losers, for lack of material gain, may find out when we're 'round the corner that the losers turned winners again, the losers turn winners again.
What if a man should gain the World & lose his soul, oh, Only what's given can be saved Now you have paid the price & thrown it all away, oh. Judas, the choices that you made
11.) Thief In The Night He came, He came like a thief in the night He came like a thief in the night We were all like zombies, we were hypnotized by that tv happiness & Hollywood lies Oh, we were all too busy lovin' ourselves & we had turned this World into a piece of hell Yeah, we had all been blinded by the Serpent's light until He came, He came like a thief in the night (Chorus) Yeah, we had craved for power, our lust was greed We were fanatical egotists, spilled the seed We wore with pride the tattoo beneath our skin We'd built a raging kingdom we were servants in Where every right was wrong & every wrong was right until He came, He came like a thief in the night
10.) Judas 12.) Shadows Friend, tell Me, why, why did you betray Me? Come, seal My fate with a kiss Did your pride not let you just obey Me? You took the lies of the witch Brother, you don't know what you've done, do you? Not to Me, but to your own soul You sought to save yourself, secure your own tomorrow now that it's done, what have you gained? For I, I will rise again , while you'll drown in your sorrow left with your everlasting shame Go & do that which you must do, quickly Name My price, what am I worth? Go & take your 30 pieces of silver and cast them into the dirt Come to Me now & ask Me the question, "What are these wounds in Your hands?" And in My tears & My pain I'll answer, "These are the wounds of a friend"
Who will hold My torch in the middle of the night? Who'll whisper My truth in the void of any right? (Ch.:) Run from the shadows, you must be strong soon the night will break into a new blue dawn Hush, little darling, you've run too long soon the light is gonna sing its victory song Herald the morning with its golden glow Soon the summer will melt the winter's snow Fly on the wings of an eagle, like a dove Hide in the lonesome wilderness, My Love (Chorus) ...leave the empty grave forever far below ...leave the shadows far behind
13.) Gently & Quietly I'll Bow Your Mind Come, take my hand & I'll sure treat you kind Lead you someplace no one will ever find lay beside me & close your eyes leave all Earthly thoughts far behind Let me touch you deep down inside & gently & quietly I'll blow your mind I'm not the kind who need pompous ado silently I'll convey my point to you not a word, barely making a sound I will achieve to turn your head around you won't resist or cast my love aside when gently & quietly I'll blow your mind So, let me come in the hour of the night & gently & quietly I'll blow your mind
14.) Where Will It Lead from Here?
