HUMBLE ME
When my head is in the red and the man I used to be is not yet dead On my knees I believe in things that happen supernaturally Can you heal just what I fear? There’s way too much of me in here. Gather this boy unto Thee...humble me - please
When I lean internally I rarely find desirable qualities Shrouded in the ideals of a world that’s so misguided I know a Counselor is just what I need And when I feel I know the deal the truth has got to be revealed Power and Honor and Glory be........humble me - please
I remember years ago, and all the stuff I did not know in slavery Freedom rings the choir sings, trumpet blows the truth is shown someday All stains are washed away, white as the snow they say – with nothing to pay!!!!
I can beg or even plead for the only One to bleed If I give me very last ounce of love it cannot be nearly enough so thank God it’s always free
And who said there’s no guarantee? Kingdom come or sweet release.....humble me
When I fall down on knees – and every tongue confesses your sovereignty When there’s nothing left of me – then I guess I’ll really know just what it means to be free
I lay my ego at your feet - Power and Honor and Glory be........

CONSPIRACY
I don’t know – just what you see- When the real investigation starts
We’ll learn where the clues can lead
I know that blue is not in fashion - And your closet is already filled
But you don’t have to trade the passion For an alibi of your own will
ALL THAT YOU SEE, CONSPIRACY All the secrecy, CONSPIRACY
You’ve got something about you, I just can’t figure out what it means.
You stumble just like any other, but you never look at your own feet
We always need to know just who the guilty are and what’s the reason for
our pain
What a surprise, when we open our eyes and see that our hands are
stained
ALL THAT YOU SEE, CONSPIRACY All the secrecy, CONSPIRACY
EVERYTHING YOU SEE, CONSPIRACY - IF U DON’T BELIEVE (IT’S GOTTA BE) CONSPIRACY
IT’S A CRAVING. SO AMAZING. SOMEHOW ITS IN THE WORLD and believe it or not its true……
You say, “How can that story be reality?”
And then you fall for everything that you will hear on the TV
The freaks are out in force, so won’t you join in the festivities?!?!
OH NO NOT ME, CONSPIRACY - CALL IT AS U SEE, CONSPIRACY
ALL THAT YOU SEE, CONSPIRACY All the secrecy, CONSPIRACY

whisper in a cave

WHISPER IN A CAVE
On a mountainside in the shadow of the One – looking for a sign, should I stand or should I run?
I could not decide – where the Word would be coming from
Then I realized, right before my eyes, that He had come
Go ahead and believe it – Was it thunder or a Whisper In A Cave?
Go ahead and believe it – it’s not the first time anyway
On a sunny day – the crowd was mesmerized
Someone said he died but the grave is unoccupied
Go ahead and believe it – Was it an echo or a Whisper In A Cave?
Go ahead and believe it – you know it’s empty everyday…
Deep inside of my mind, where I thought I could hide, where it used to be dark and lonely
Came a voice I could recognize telling me to arise – come alive……
In the middle of a mid-town symphony at its loudest hour
Now I identify the soft and beautiful melody of His power
Go ahead and believe it – I know I really heard a Whisper In A Cave
Go ahead and believe it – though the earth will shake in the wind and the thunder and rain
Go ahead and believe it – I always want to hear a Whisper In A Cave
Go ahead and believe it – you know you want to anyway….

IN HIS TIME
He wants his treat today – while the others smile, holding out their hands I heard a longing sound but not from a heart too proud Confusion, no one understands His plans
Everything, Everything in His Time, Everything in His Time
Run, run, run in a race that’s never won and when you cut across the field The harm’s already done Smarter men than me can say “a year is just a world away” But a lifetime, can be like a day – one day
Everything, Everything in His Time, Everything in His Time Every evening, everyday the sun will rise - Everything in His Time
When I slow it down, it makes me want to crawl and I’m crying “faster, faster” As it passes by I’m reaching out my hands so I can place it where it needs to go
Every season has it’s stay..and it leaves before it’s too late As we all toil and tarry hoping that we get to carry everything in our own arms
Everything, Everything in His Time, Everything in His Time Every evening, everyday the sun will rise - Everything in His Time

DON’T STARE AT THE SUN
Such a stoic partner, quiet like the afternoon – all the gears are turning, this ship is headed for the moon
All our lives we never could have dreamed, where our predetermined destiny would lead
Sometimes the loudest signals are the ones inside your head – and when the traffic hinders, some things just seem to go unsaid again
Don’t Stare At the Sun, so you don’t see what’s coming Close your eyes and run and you just keep on running Don’t Stare At the Sun and maybe things will be OK
With a light we have to open our eyes that guides us right around the darkness and lies And if we tell each other, the safety of my brother, in the hands of another Life-long friend
Was it wrong to reach beyond our means? What were the needs that we could never seem to meet?
All those days expired, all those nights that never sing Would you believe I’m sorry? Would you accept an apology from me?
Don’t Stare At the Sun, so you don’t see what’s coming Close your eyes and run and you just keep on running Don’t State At the Sun and maybe things will be OK
Don’t Stare At the Sun, so you don’t see what’s coming Close your eyes and run and you just keep on running Don’t State At the Sun and maybe things will be OK
Don’t State At the Sun, Don’t State At the Sun.....

FARAWAY
ONE FINE DAY THE SPIRIT CARRIED ME FOR MILES.
HE TOOK ME DOWN TO THE VALLEY, WHERE HIS FATHER SMILES.
HE SANG ME A LULLABY IN THE KEY OF F# MINOR.
NOW I JUST FOLLOW THAT SOUND SO MY BURDEN CAN BE
LIGHTER
(and I carry on - as I sing my song - how far we’ve come....)
I KNOW FROM WHAT I’VE READ BEFORE THAT THIS CANNOT
BE HEAVEN.
BUT WE MUST BE AT THE DOOR WHEN I SEE WHAT THE
MASTER’S HAND HAS GIVEN.
I’LL DO WHAT I CAN IN THE PLACE I STAND, NO MATTER
WHERE MY FEET HAVE BEEN -
FUNNY HOW THE DAY BEGINS THE SAME WAY THAT IT ENDS.
THE DAY BEGINS THE SAME WAY THAT IT ENDS.
ALL MY SINS ARE SO FARAWAY……
THE DAY BEGINS THE SAME WAY THAT IT ENDS, ALL MY SINS
ARE SO FARAWAY – FARAWAY!
TOO MANY MILES FROM PARADISE
IN THE WORLD WHERE WE ALL RESIDE
NEVER TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT
BUT IT’s ONE FINE DAY TO DECIDE
REPEAT 2 MORE X
ROUND – One Fine Day, All My Sins Are So Far Away, Too Many Miles From Paradise
Too Many Miles - Too Many Miles From Paradise (repeat 3x)

PHOEBE REALLY LIKES ME
I met her on a Saturday – it must have been 1 or 2. Though I was familiar with her something awoke that was completely new. A passion had been activated without a place to go I’m a naïve suitor in the dark just looking for her glow – yeah yeah yeah
I honored every rule she whispered even though she was a liar She rose above nearly everything but her power was not higher What’s the sun gonna set on when the choosing must be done? I’ve seen the forest through the trees and heard the song it’s sung
Because Phoebe really likes me, oh yeah – Phoebe really cares! Phoebe really likes me, Phoebe understands – u know she really cares – I know she understands – she knows that I’m her man!!!
She said “you better watch your step, my darling boy” I think she meant that she should not get any glory But the story never ends When you don’t need to make a mends We-can-al-ways-still-be-friends We can always still be friends, We can always still be friends, We can always still be friends!
Once upon a time I thought I’d never be the guy to find that I could be so mesmerized and never even see the signs or hear a melody or rhyme Disregard and colorblind Who (who) Why (why) She’s always been my alibi
I never thought I’d fall so hard – I never dreamed I’d go that far The passion & infatuation not more than they are
Because Phoebe really likes me, oh yeah – Phoebe (Phoebe) really (really) cares! Phoebe (Phoebe) really (really) likes me, Phoebe (Phoebe) understands Because Phoebe really likes me, oh yeah – Phoebe (Phoebe) really (really) cares!
Phoebe (Phoebe) really (really) likes me, Phoebe (Phoebe) understands – u know she really cares – I know she understands – she really truly cares

LOVE AIN’T JUST A WORD
You can lay all your problems on the table – spread them out there where everyone can see If you’ve got a need, I’ve got a hand to feed you but there’s a Man more qualified than me
Because LOVE AIN’T JUST A WORD No LOVE AIN’T JUST A WORD
There’s a meaning underneath the sound that you’ve heard Four little letters but so much left to learn Are you lonely when everyone’s around? The sweetest thing yet to be found is the love that he keeps pouring down
Because LOVE AIN’T JUST A WORD No LOVE AIN’T JUST A WORD
Do you walk the way you talk? Well I cannot point my finger at you. There must be something happening to feel the way I do...
Everytime I look into the mirror, the ending of my voyage is drawing nearer I’ve got to STOP and put my foot down, STOP and look all around me Please listen to me JESUS, because I know I am not worthy!
Because LOVE AIN’T JUST A WORD No LOVE AIN’T JUST A WORD LOVE AIN’T JUST A WORD No LOVE AIN’T JUST A WORD

39 FIGHTS
The Spies are coming home at last, the Battle’s on now that the die’s been cast
Noone likes to hear the news when they know that they’ll have to choose And nobody really ever wants to lose
I had heard the promise of yesterday, and I believe the One who made the claim
So I’ll feint a left and then I’ll throw the right and slide to safer ground Maybe then tomorrow I’ll still be around
39 Fights till we get home, fighting with a might that’s not our own 39 Fights and we can’t make it all alone....
First light, all expectancy, at night who has been deceived
Our stories always have a touch of drama, tears and tragedy Victory never comes easily
39 Fights till we get home, fighting with a might that’s not our own 39 Fights and we can’t make it all alone....
Mar-shall the men--- to march now, warriors just love a crowd Gather up the troops in numbers, waiting for the trumpet sound Its getting louder, louder.......
39 Fights till we get home, fighting with a might that’s not our own 39 Fights and we can’t make it all alone....
39 Fights till we get home, fighting with a might that’s not our own 39 Fights and we can’t make it all alone....

MIRROR
What you pray – what you see – what you know – what you believe
There’s a place, where we face ourselves
Today – you agree – tomorrow, no guarantees
Silly girls, silly boys we see
The Mirror’s Face Can’t Change – ‘Til His blood runs freely through our veins
And the image of the old man’s washed away
I can say – what I mean – who am I to judge between?
Perfect will – and my foolish choices
Made – everyday - though each time I’m sure it will be the last time, now
Is that OK?
The Mirror’s Face Can’t Change – ‘Til His blood runs freely through our veins
And the image of the old man’s washed away
REPEAT
The eye, the womb, the breath that leaves your lungs
The empty tomb that death could never overcome
Above the mind of man, beyond the need to understand….
The Grace – of a King – that transcends everything
So we’ll sing, yes we’ll sing of Him
Yeah we’ll sing, yes we’ll sing of Him
We’ll sing of Him…. REPEAT
The Mirror’s Face Has Changed – Because His blood runs through my veins
and the image of the old man’s washed away
The Mirror’s Face Has Changed – Because His blood runs through my veins
And the stains of sin are gone with yesterday
Washed away
Washed away
Washed away

THE CALL OF THE SEA
Far below but near the surface, someday you will know the purpose and meaning Invitation in the distance intimate with no resistance or ceiling
The Call of the Sea, Calling out to me, the Call of the Sea
Audible to whom it’s given, if they’re close enough to still be hearing Is it found or is it stolen mystery now why am I still fearing
The Call of the Sea, Calling out to me, the Call of the Sea
I guess I always knew that it was there Whispering my name out of thin air... When I answered there was never another choice Because I recognized the sound of His voice
On an island in the ocean there’s only so far you can go Until you reach the edge of another shore I’ll burn the charts and atlas - the Book has so much more And leaves you different than you were before
Melodies that crave completion, harmony a partner never leaving So electric in the grayness solemn in the craziness of our lives
The Call of the Sea, Calling out to me, the Call of the Sea
