Flood Waters

And Ive got no place left go

Cause I got changed by what Ive been shown
More glory than the world has known
Keeps me ramblin on

Higher than the yonder mountain and deeper than the

sea
From the breadth of the east unto the west
Is the love that started with a seed

Skipping like a calf loosed from its stall

Im free to love once and for all
And even when I fall Ill get back up
For the joy that overflows my cup
Heaven filled me with more than enough
Broke down my levee and my bluff
Let the flood wash me

Stronger than the wildest horses and the rising tide

The chords of death hung so heavy round our necks
Will be left at the great divide
Flood waters rise, but it wont wash away
Love never dies, it will hold on more fierce than graves

And one day when the sky rolls back on us

Some rejoice and the others fuss
Cause every knee must bow and tongue confess
That the son of god is forever blessed
His is the kingdom, were the guests
So put your voice up to the test
Sing Lord, come soon

Farther than the pale moon rises upon the open plains
Past the time of the longest blood line
There shines an immortal flame
Somewhere in between forever and this passing day
There's a place moth and rust cannot lay waste
This is grace, the face of love

Slip Away

Flood waters rise, but it wont wash away

Love never dies, it will hold on more fierce than grave

Hold on, before I slip away

The flames gone, dark I am afraid
How strong, is flesh and blood
I cannot, can take back what I've done

Farther along
Farther along well know all about it
Farther along well understand why
Cheer up my brothers, live in the sunshine
Well understand this, all by and by

To you, my sweetest friend

I betrayed you, I walked away again
Now all that's left, is what might have been
Please forgive me, before we reach the end

Tempted and tried, I wondered why

The good man died, the bad man thrives
And Jesus cries because he loves em both
Were all cast-aways in need of ropes
Hangin on by the last threads of our hope
In a house of mirrors full of smoke
Confusing illusions Ive seen

Hold on, before I slip away

My loves gone cold, I've gone astray
How strong, is flesh and blood
I cannot take back what I've done
The Resistance
I was born into a system constructed for failure
It's a sinking ship manned by drunken sailors
An escape artist behind the bars of a jailor
An asthmatic attack when we forgot the inhaler
If the shoe doesn't fit what good is a tailor
In the midst of a crisis please cancel the gala
Without a symphony there's no need for a prelude
To foreshadow what's to come.
See the secret committees, commence with their
meetings
To make red tape in response to simple questions
Questions threaten the perception of the beneficial
systems
A pyramid scheme with it's cogs and it's pistons
Mechanization of men, making more and more
Live in a miserable exhistance
How can so few, claim so many victims
And this begs the question
My rest is a weapon against the oppression
Of mans obsession to control things

Where did I go wrong, I sang along

To every chorus of the song
That the devil wrote like a piper at the gates
Leading mice and men down to their fates
But some will courageously escape
The seductive voice with a heart of faith
While walkin that line back home
So much more to life than weve been told
Its full of beauty that will unfold
And shine like you struck gold my wayward son
That deadweight burden weighs a ton
Go down into the river and let it run
And wash away all the things youve done
Forgiveness alright
Still I get hard pressed on every side
Between the rock and a compromise
Like the truth and pack of lies fightin for my soul

Look at the long line of make believe kings

The lord of the flies want's you to kiss his ring
Follow new rules with invisible strings
And become a puppet in the diabolical scheme
How do good men become part of the regime
They don't believe in resistance.

that lays before you,

You were born to, take the greatest flight
Like a serpent and a dove, you will have wisdom born
of love
To carry visions from above into the places no man
dares to follow
Every hollow in the dark of night
Waiting for the light
Take the flame tonight

Hold fast like an anchor in the storm

We will not be moved
Lesson number one, overcome
Every fear of regret and confusion
It's all illusion, delusion
Sent to disconnect the holy fusion
Of spirit and the flesh
Every mortal breath, is meant to bring forth fire
But only when the fear of death, gets consumed
On the funeral pier
So let the flames rise higher
Let every man be considered a liar
If he doubts the goodness and faithfulness of God
Itching ears will compulsively nod in approval
When unbelief is taught in all our temples and schools
But God can restrain the madness of a fool
He can bring His truth through the mouth of a mule
You can move an mountain without any tools
It just takes the faith of a little seed
to make a way through what might seem to be
Impossibility,
And the ability will match the occasion
The outcome will defy explanation
The liberation will not be televised
When it arrives like lightning in the skies

Child the time has come for you to go

You will never be alone
Every dream that you have been shown
Will be like living stone
Building you into a home
A shelter from the storm
Like a messenger of peace, the beauty waits be
released
Upon the sacred path you keep, leading deeper into
the unveiling
As you're sailing, across the great divide
Like a wolf at midnight howls, you use your voice in
darkest hours
To break the silence and the power, holding back the
others from their glory
Every story will be written soon
The blood is on the moon
Morning will come soon
Child the time has come for you to go
You will never be alone
Every dream that you have been shown
Will be like living stone
Building you into a home
A shelter from the storm

Hold fast like an anchor in the storm

For your love, we will rise and overcome
Through the fire
Hold fast my people and sing
Through peace and through suffering
All for the joy that it brings, to be free
It's gonna cost us everything
To follow one Lord and King
True love endure everything
To be free

Ulysses
I'm holding on to the hope that one day this could be
made right.
I've been shipwrecked, and left for dead, and I have
seen the darkest sights.
Everyone I've loved seems like a stranger in the night
But Oh my heart still burns, tells me to return, and
search the fading light.

Hold fast, like an anchor in the storm

We will not be moved
White Owl

I'm sailing home to you I wont be long

By the light of moon I will press on
Until, I find, my love

When the night comes,

and you don't know which way to go
Through the shadowlands,
and forgotten paths,
you will find a road

Trouble has beset my ways, and wicked winds have

blown
Sirens call my name, they say they'll ease my pain,
then break me on the stones
But true love is the burden that will carry me back
home
Carry me with the, memories of the, beauty I have

Like an owl you must fly by moonlight with an open

eye,
And use your instinct as a guide, to navigate the ways

known

Said I let go, of all, I could not hold onto

For the hope, I have, in you

I'm sailing home to you I wont be long

By the light of moon I will press on

Bread & Wine

I was wrong, everybody needs someone, to hold on
Take my hand, I've been a lonesome man, took a while
to understand

So tie me to the mast of this old ship and point me

home
Before I lose the one I love, before my chance is gone
I want to hold, her in, my arms

There's some things we can't live without,

A man's so prone to doubt,
Faithful are the wounds from friends.
So give it just a little time,
Share some bread and wine
Weave your heart into mine,
My friend

Beyond the Blue

Stand on the shores of a site unseen
The substance of this dwells in me
Cause my natural eyes only go skin deep
But the eye's of my heart anchor the sea
Plumbing the depths to the place in between
The tangible world and the land of a dreams
Because everything ain't quite it seems
There's more beneath the appearance of things
A beggar could be king within the shadows,
Of a wing

Walls fall down, where there's a peaceful sound, lonely

souls hang around
Don't be shy, there's nothing left to hide, come on let's
talk a while
Of the places we left behind,
No longer yours and mine
But we could build a good thing here too
So give it just a little time,
Share bread and wine
Weave your heart into mine

And wisdom will honor everyone who will learn

To listen, to love, and to pray and discern
And to do the right thing even when it burns
And to live in the light through treacherous turns
A man is weak, but the spirit yearns
To keep on course from the bow to the stearn
And throw overboard every selfish concern
That tries to work for what can't be earned
Sometimes the only way to return is to go,
Where the winds will take you

If I fall, I fall alone, but two can help to bear the load
A threefold chord is hard to break
All I have I give to you if you will share your sorrows
too,
Then joy will be the crown upon our heads
My friend

And to let go, of all, you cannot hold onto

For the hope, beyond,the blue

Million Miles

Yellow and gold as the new day dawns

Like a virgin unveiled who waited so long
To dance and rejoice and sing her song
And rest in the arms of a love so strong
No one comes unless they're drawn
By the voice of desire that leads em' along
To the redemption of what went wrong
By the blood that coveres the innocent one
No more separation
Between us.

Feel the wind blow, through the window, I know,

that we'll make it through
It's a million miles from, where we begun, and I,
I still love you
I remember, as clear as ever, the day,
when we first met
Lord you know I, l love to hold her eyes, in mine
everyday since
Everyday and night
Together we will grow
Makin' the most of a life
As we hold each other close

So lift your voice just one more time

If there's any hope may it be a sign
That everything was made to shine
Despite what you can see
So take this bread and drink this wine
And hide your spirit within the vine
Where all things will work by a good design
For those who will believe

As we grow old, may it be told, that we,

never lost our flame
If love's a fire, Then our desire, is to burn,
untamed

And let go, of all, we cannot hold onto

For the hope, beyond, the blue

Everyday and night

Together we will grow

Makin' the most of a life

As we hold each other close

Now rise my son

Then behold ten thousand kings,
And every creature worshipping
Every eye was on one thing,
One man
He's like a lion like a lamb,
As though slain he holds the plan
To make war and peace with man,
And reign on earth

Rise
I hung my head, for the last time
In surrender and despair
Before I'm dead, I'll take the last climb
Up the mountain, face my fears
The time has come, to make a choice
Use my voice for the love of every man
My minds made up, never again
Never again, will I turn round

Holy, Holy, is the One,

Who was and is, and is to come
In a robe as red as blood,
He comes forth
Ride like lightning in the sky,
Upon the war horse he draws nigh,
The same one we crucified,
Will come again

Though they may surround me like lions

And crush me on all sides
I may fall, but I will rise
Not by my might, or my power, or by the strength of
swords
Only through, your love, my lord
All we've lost, will be, restored

Pilot Me

Take courage sons, for we must go under

The heart of darkness, and set them free
But don't lose heart when you see the numbers
There's no measure for, the faith we bring
It's given us, to overcome
If we run, where the spirit calls us on

I will arise and follow you over

Savior please, pilot me
Over the waves and through every sorrow
Savior please, pilot me
When I have no more strength left to follow
Fall on my knees, pilot me

The greatest things, have yet to come

With the dawn, we will rise

May your sun rise and lead me on

Over the sea's, savior pilot me O' Lord

Though they may surround us like lions

And crush us on all sides
we may fall, but we will rise
Not by my might, or my power, or by the strength of
swords
Only through, your love, my lord
All we've lost, will be, restored

For You
Got so much I'm dying to tell you
But you can't bear to hear me now
In a little while I must move on
But I'll send my love to you
You can, call my name
And I will find you
Heaven and Hell can't separate our love
I'm doing this all for you my love
But I'll come back
Yeah I'll come back
Yeah I'll come back for you
For You

Revelator
Had a dream I was alone
A vast expanse of complete unknown
Sea of glass so clear it shown,
Like gold
Then a voice like thunder clapped,
As a dead man I collapsed
I am the first, I am the last,
