Wearing My Reigncoat
Jesus you are the reason
the seasons change
Jesus you are the reason
the rain dances on my window pane
And under your reign, Jesus
I don’t need an umbrella
A Room At The Inn
I don’t need signs and wonders
or miracles
I don’t need riches and wealth
or fame
Popular, well known
or a status symbol
it doesn’t matter
I just need you, Lord
to let me know
when my time has come
I will have a home
Let It Ring
God is at the heart of all things
No matter which way the pendulum swings
Good will triumph and freedom will ring
And speaking of ringing
God has a heavenly ring tone
You should try and call him sometime
Bandmates
Everything I do
I do for you God
You play the lead
I play rhythm guitar
You sing the solo
I’ll do the backing vocals
You get the standing ovation
I’ll simply bow on occassion
Everything I do
I do for you God
For yours, is the only name
That is sealed across my heart
Out of Chances
black suit
black tie
standing with one red rose
wondering “why?”
give me one more chance to see you
one more chance to be near you
give me one more chance to dance with you
one more chance to glance over at you
give me one more chance to hug you
one more chance to be tight and snug with you
give me one more chance to walk hand in hand with you
one more chance to just stand next to you
all I can do is shed these tears
and hope that you catch them up in heaven
Christ Like
We try to out-christian other christians
Instead of being Christ like
We still try to show what we look like
Taking the Christ out of the christian life
And putting other christians down because their life
doesn’t reflect your life
Your life shouldn’t reflect you
Your life should reflect Christ
I’m not trying to make myself look good and feel nice
I’m trying to share the love of God
And hopefully someone will see Christ instead of me
Now that would be very nice
To know that I was living my life, Christ like
After all, when Jesus came down here, he didn’t follow a script
He demonstrated God’s love to the people
“Here you go and here it is”
Punked!
Satan tried to tempt him
but he resisted
He convinced Judas to betray him
He then led the people to turn against him
He stared at Jesus being crucified on the cross
“Look at your punk butt now, Jesus,” Satan bitterly murmured
“Sweet victory!”, Declared Satan
The Son of God died on the cross for us
Jesus went to hell, whooped up Satan and took his keys
He went on to conquer death and the grave
Before his ascension, looking at Satan
“Where’s your punk now, fallen one,” Jesus said
Now he sits at the right hand of power
The moral to this story: Never let the devil punk you into believing Jesus was just a man. Jesus is the truth, the light, and the way. We are more than conquerors through him.
Respire
Alive today
And I feel it
The sights and sounds
The aroma of life
Breathe in, breathe out
Life is all around
Alive today
God’s grace provides a way
God makes it possible
God’s love written all over this day
At the core
From the crown of my head
To the bottom of my feet
I am alive
Breathe in, breathe out
Thank you, God
Rise and Shine
My jaded heart
My faded emotions
Buried under hard winter dirt
My passionate heart
My unbridled emotions
Grew with the awakening Earth
In the spring
There’s A Wolf Outside
Like the boy who cried wolf
the devil is a liar
he aspired to be more than God
The Almighty perceived his thoughts
and struck him down hard
the fallen one with a bruised ego
refuses to let go of his desire to be worshipped
counterfeit in his ways
leading humanity astray by temptation and lust
instigating and inciting distrust toward God
the devil entices, aiming below the belt
belting out “you don’t need God” and “do what you want to do” tunes
his soundtrack is auto-tuned and out of tune
but I will stay in tune with God
and turn the volume on the devil’s absurdities
there’s a wolf howling, ready to devour
unlike the boy who out
I’m not shouting out lies
I’m shouting out the truth
the devil is a liar
and he will never be higher than the One most high
God
