how do you see it

At the end of the day, what will you see/
If ya ain't got family, will you die lonely/
Jesus said don't worry, all else you must leave/
least that's how it reads to me/
I don't want no trouble, we all want the best/
If I'd shape up my act, guess those close could get rest/
what of those far and abused, blind, binded, oppressed/
this time I believe there's a point to my quest/
but it could be, I'm a fickle dreamer/
a reed in wind a whispering screamer/
And I know it's a shame I don't stick to one thing/
but nothing seems to stick anyway, it all seems to swing/
what I say may make some angry, they may wag there head/
but what I say I believe, is I'm already dead/
There's somethin bigger than me, to which my hearts led/
stop the dreadful opression, get hungry mouths fed/
There's a whole lot of waste, and only some that we see/
and if you want safety well you ain't lonely/
but Jesus said don't worry, all else you must leave/
least that's the way, that it reads to me/
Now don't get me wrong I've learned I must work/
though I'm a lazy sleep lover, duties I can't shirk/
but I'll work to bring light where devils lurk/
and maybe die like my Jesus, how's that for a perk/
but what you don't understand/ is that all of this land/
is just clay in expanse, it will all turn to sand/
If you want to recieve mercy, mercy you must show/
don't beat the servants, or to hell you will go/
God is pleased, when there fed in due time/
Come poor and spirit, kingdom of heaven to find/
Oppresed Lazarus now you've got peace of mind/
In the paradise of sheep where sin no more binds/
Well take a look at this world, and a great need you will see/
think change will cost you a lot, well ya aint lonely/
Jesus said don't worry/all else you must leave/
least that's the way that it reads to me/

have you dreamt about the life we might recieve/

the righteousness will rise to live heavenly/
and we know it's hell the evil will be/
gotta wonder where's that leave you and me/
we'll I know Jesus died so that we could be free/

worth

I Don't have a lot of songs, about wild sex and weed/
Have to fill up my verse, with brothers that bleed/
Theres so many people, starving in need/
so set down your vain lives, go out and feed/
Raise a glass if you will, but do it with heart/
If your not willing to finish, don't pretend to start/
must lay selfish living, stiff dead in the cart/
If you'll be struck by God's love, It's a costly dart/
But His Yoke is light, 'cause He caries it too/
Through the darkest of night, His light wont leave you/
He's a good judge in the end, He'll show our thoughts true/
so you best get right, and you best follow through/
Who knows anything, who can show the way/
It's the one who came from Heaven, for our sins to pay/
He is the truth, and the light, and coming's His day/
Now's the time to beg him, and step out of the grey/
Have one reason for living, to serve the King with love/
You can try it all else, but it want to be enough/
The worlds greed and glory, is a powerless puff/
when death comes knockin, you'll see its evil grinnin bluff/
God's house ain't for merchandise, His zeal you can smell/
It's not with rustin gold and silver, He chooses to dwell/
He knows all the meaning, so make sure you mean well/
Rather be Lazarus on earth, than the rich man in Hell/
Eternal's the Life, for those who in Him believe/
The adultress he saved, and said sin no more when you leave/
woe to you rich, cause you've already recieved/
Blessed are the merciful, but the laughin will greave/
So can you take in His words, will you be the good seed/
If the Son sets you free, you shall be free indeed/
Love one another, as shown by God who did bleed/
set down you vain lives, go out and feed/
If you'll love Jesus, you better keep his Word/
at the resurection He'll judge,of good and evil occured,
help the hungry and afllicted, is the law I've heard/
if you won't be his Witness, you won't be reffered/
To the heavenly party, once He's conquered this earth/
Head my warning now, to think what's of worth/
Die to sin and through God, to righteousness have birth/
judgement He has taken, so you persecuted have myrth/
If you suffer for Jesus, great will be your reaward/
those who morn now, comfort He'll afford/
so make sure it's Heaven, where you treasures are stored/
Live like that's your home, and Jesus your Lord/
So can you take in His words, will you be the good seed/
If the Son sets you free, you shall be free indeed/
Love one another, as shown by God who did bleed/
set down you vain lives, go out and feed/

Bright Hurricane

Psalm 93:4 "Mightier than the thunder of great waters, mightier than
the breakers of the sea - the Lord on high is mighty." Psalm 93:4

Maybe being in the house of the Father/ means you don't get to walk
with your daddy and mother/ maybe your walk will lead to a cross/
and those who are close will suffer great loss/ Maybe you know that
the salvation of all/ gave himself o live and to fall/ Low to the
image of man/ low to a family struggling/ low to heal the unclean with
His hand/ low to shed truth light and blood for our suffering/ this
is the glory of Israel, and revelation of us outcast/ this is the
pinnacle, the ornament the trophy, of the culture past/ this love:
that Jesus save/ that He shines forth light and reveals the reasons of
how we behave/ Are our works, works of truth and wrought in God/ or
are they works of evil and exposed will rot to naught/ I hear love
covers a multitude of sins/ listen my dear friends/ let us walk in,
cuz we believe in/ the Son of God raised like a curing serpent, can
you see Him/cuz if ya don't look your perishing/evil workers run from
light and that's what will condemn/Let us stive in all we do to have
God as our inspiration/ Let us have ono fear of shame when He shows
our motivation/ That moment my friends is inevitable/ That moment in
the end is inevitable/ But we can be saved/ Jesus can change/ but we
can only see the Kingdom if we are rearranged/ but these old pieces
won't do/ we must be born anew/ the compassionate rays strike across
those waiting in shadows to die/ so to guide our feet to peace/bless
the rising Son on high/ He says/ we can have life forgiveness/ if we
leave flesh/ be born out of water and wind spirit/ the wind blows/
where it comes from or goes/ the don't know/ they can hear that it's
here, those born of it, even so/ we humans not seen heaven, so we
think so low/ but if we receive to believe things grow/ water,
water,water me please now/ make clean soil for your Spirit to blow in,
and wash the flesh out/ plant in me a heart who cares are not tied
down/ to a world that will with time and fire drown/ but a heart of
love for you that freely blows around/ now I get to thinking/ unless
we confess and repent from sin, we'll be sinking/ like everything that
isn't moving, drops to the bottom of the ocean/ if we want eternal
life we must set our lives to motion/ and be clear/ that the only
reason we're passing through here/is to make the world hear/ the
transformin rush of God's love/let the sound abound/ feet kiss goodbye
to the ground. as we've found/ our new motivation where our treasures
lie/ let gratitude and peace fly/ and through the name of Jesus, move
into this sensation/the transforming rush of God's love/the
transforming rush of God's love/the transformin rush of God's love/the
transforming rush of God's love/the transforming rush of God's
love/the transforming rush of God's love/the transforming rush of
God's love

Psalm 93:4 "Mightier than the thunder of great waters, mightier than

Struggle of my Nightmare

I feel wrong, I feel wrong, I feel wrong, and whose gonna make me feel right/
I feel wrong, I feel wrong , I feel wrong, search through desert, but
never feel satisfied/

Hearken to the truth/reach down to your roots/I hear your mournfull
grown/no internet or phone/but you are not alone/cause this is not
your home/keep yourself in the zone/ and be transformed from the brain
to the bone/but I feel so drained, so cold, so tired, of not makin
what I was hoping to/so sad, so off, so mad/ that I can't seem to
stick things through/ cried for help but Jesus already saved/ what
more can I do/so I weep like a babe/ so grow up and get tough/ of all
of us you know this life is real ruff/and if you plan to grow, thrive,
and make it/ gotta stand your faith on the rock, nothing can break
it/but nothing strikes me as new/ just give me something to do/ideas
come, but it seem that I can't follow through/blurred by this
spiritual mental flu/

I feel wrong, I feel wrong, I feel wrong, and whose gonna make me feel right/
I feel wrong, I feel wrong, I feel wrong, search through desert, but
never feel satisfied/

I must place trust/ in the God that bust/ shekels and chains off of
arms might as well blow to rust/ set the prisoner free/ bind up the
broken heart and strengthen weakness in me/ gotta get passed myself if
I'm going to be/ a beacon of light, so those in darkness can see/ Your
glory/that in salvation you are great and mighty/

There's power, There's power, There's power in Jesus name, He can face
the inner darkness and make a change/
There's power, There's power, There's power in Jesus name, He can wash
out the sin, if you'll, let Him reign/

Jeremiah 29:13 "You will seek Me and find Me, when you seek Me with
all you heart."

Concerned

"Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for His
compassions never fail. They are new every morning."
Lamentations 3:22-23

I am concerned for me people/ Lord please, save them from evil/ I am
concerned, I am concerned/ for my people/

I'll do whatever it takes to make sure you hear me/put distractions
aside so I can think clearly/Jesus died for love so I boldly speak
near Thee/yet penitent and tremblin cause I know well to fear
Thee/tear our clothes, and pour the ash/walk round days, not taking
baths/ but You say that You don't want that/ but I'm just trying to
think of things I know/so that I can show/my concern for my people
when there states so low/

I am concerned for me people/ Lord please, save them from evil/ I am
concerned, I am concerned/ for my people/

Look at him/ He's a good friend/love's you Jesus and I beg you to
defend/he's under attack/and I know you don't lack/the power to give
disease and evil breeze a hard smack/Authority over ailments, spirits,
and sin/ if your willing give us the faith and I'm sure that we'll
win/Lord it doesn't make much sense to me/ and I know my eyes are to
earth-sized to see/ but I'm asking, seeking knocking, that You'll set
them free/

I am concerned for me people/ Lord please, save them from evil/ I am
concerned, I am concerned/ for my people/

she loves better than any other/we've been close/ so I care strong
like a brother/ but dark gloom clouds seem to be hovering/ that ain't
right for land Your light's been covering/I know your working
something good and deep/ cause she's offered you her heart, several
times to keep/You're the Good Shepherd, I pray you'll hold these
sheep, and grow happy joy in their hearts from the water that they
weep/I say this is, not all there is, I know there is, gonna be a turn
around, but right now I still hate to see them down/ their Your
lovers, please coax a smile from the frown/ and I pray us fragile
flowers will soon be found/ with our roots sucking joy up from Your
richly fertile ground/protect, defend, love grow us, and soon will
abound/ a fragrance of awe in greatness, mixed with a joyous sound/

I am concerned for me people/ Lord please, save them from evil/ I am
concerned, I am concerned/ for my people/

they say, it's all for a purpose, it's all for a reason/ how come
there so many locks, we can't get the keys in/help me see then/ why's
the widow starving and freezing/ if the momma's smoking, why's it the
baby that's wheezing/ and I know all these things to our God our
displeasing/ so I gotta ask us humans, why the fact that we sin

Lamentations 3:22-23 "Because of the Lords great love we are not
consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning."

Know thee not

we wanna preach Jesus, but don't obey His commands/ building up our
steeples and ignoring needy hands/ while rock-n-roll bands come and
tour our chapel, we leave the man bleeding, impaled with poverties
shrapnel/see the blood of New Covenant, shed for many/ wasn't poured
out in pain just so you can eat plenty/ see you can know a tree by
it's fruits/ but what you been producing 'sides a car and your suits/
and what you gonna do when we rise again/ and you'll be yellin Jesus,
He say hey you're not my friend/ cause when I was bleeding/ hungry and
needing/ you wasn't feeding/when I was thirsty/ begging for mercy/
where was my cup/ you tell me wasup/ this I was naked freezing in the
winter thought I wouldn't make it/ sick and wheezy call to help me,
but you chose to forsake it/ see the pains heavy chains/ weighed me
down, working on trains/ pen stabbers look insane/ not a whole lot of
hope in my brain/ look through the bars for a visitor/ head hang low,
though, cause you never came/

Now while I lip and let rumble/ your heart slip and it tumble/ cause
you know we ain't been doing our part/ well this is your chance to
start/ help em out now/ help em out now/ help em out now/ help em
Now while I lip and let rumble/ your heart slip and it tumble/ cause
you know we ain't been doing our part/ well this is your chance to
start/ help em out now/ help em out now/ help em out now/ help em

Now I just stabbed at the fork/ that's been pulling all of the pork/so
they may just call me a dork/but to me it's o.k./cause it comes
straight from the heart/no wait I mean the Scripture/ so that means
it's God's heart and it's His sword that just ripped ya/see I believe
in Jesus/ and I see that He fees us/ He was walking on this earth in
the time of the ceasers/with His feat in the sand/He was walking all
the land/ preaching how we need to help the poor and bravely take a
stand/ for the sick/ for the prison/for the ones who barely
leaving/making good steward use of all things that we've been given/
cause King Jesus say/ that on judgment day/ He's gonna come home and
ask us how we decided to play/ with the chain gang/ while they was on
resting break/were we thinking of our riches or for Heavens sake/ did
we hide in a whole like a coward snake/

Now while I lip and let rumble/ your heart slip and it tumble/ cause
you know we ain't been doing our part/ well this is your chance to
start/ help em out now/ help em out now/ help em out now/ help em
Now while I lip and let rumble/ your heart slip and it tumble/ cause
you know we ain't been doing our part/ well this is your chance to
start/ help em out now/ help em out now/ help em out now/ help em

I'm the good guy/that's really the bad guy/ that's sort of the good
guy/so it's kinda complicated/
I'm the good guy/that's really the bad guy/ that's sort of the good
guy/so it's kinda complicated/

tell me for the last time you in or you out/ cuz I been lookin in your
eyes and i got reason to doubt/ if you ride with us then we're in it
to the death/cause we'll sacrifice for Christ with our very last
breath/what you think you can sell your soul/ buy your way out of hell
with gold/ think your woman will give you peace/ but she won't give
the comfort in the fire reef/ stop, stop/ I know I'm a sinner/ I place
all my bets that Jesus Christ is a winner/ I try to follow in His
ways/ but it's hard sometimes when we hit rainy days/

I'm the good guy/that's really the bad guy/ that's sort of the good
guy/so it's kinda complicated/
I'm the good guy/that's really the bad guy/ that's sort of the good
guy/so it's kinda complicated/

sittin in my room, holdin my cup in my hand/ I just got done eating up
my peanut butter and jam/ searching trying to find out what will be
next/ but the more I look the more I get myself perplexed/ either way
it rolls it will be alright/ cuz my hearts attached to God's holy
light/ through all the shadows, no I will not fear/ cuz my God is
near/ Yeah my God is near/
