So Wrong

Verse 1
Could it be … Maybe
This distance … Is crazy

Verse 2
Could it be … So hard
I just feel … So far

Chorus
I’m packing up leaving this place
So long, so wrong
I can’t believe how long I’ve stayed
So long, so wrong

Verse 3
Would it turn … This tide
If I took … Your side

Verse 4
Would it be … Alright
To give up … My fight

Jealous Dateless Wonder

Verse 1
Life flies by…you and I…live a lie…wonder why?

Verse 2
Love can try…soon to die…breath a sigh…wonder why?

Bridge
I feel so trapped in a love that doesn’t work
I seem trapped in a love that doesn’t work
I think I’m trapped in a love that doesn’t work
I am trapped in a love that doesn’t work

Chorus
But I don’t want to be
Alone inside when outside screams thunder
And I don’t want to be
By myself when I slip under
No, I don’t want to be
Just another man whose life has gone asunder
Yeah, I don’t want to be
Just another jealous dateless wonder

Verse 3
Hear the cry…tears can try…try and try…wonder why?

Bridge
I feel so trapped in a love that doesn’t work
I seem trapped in a love that doesn’t work
I think I’m trapped in a love that doesn’t work
I am trapped in a love that doesn’t work

Chorus
But I don’t want to be
Alone inside when outside screams thunder
And I don’t want to be
By myself when I slip under
No, I don’t want to be
Just another man whose life has gone asunder
Yeah, I don’t want to be
Just another jealous dateless wonder

Still Believe

Verse 1
My God where are you now?
Can it be you’ve given up on me somehow?
I know my prayers you never miss
I just can’t see the end to this

Chorus 1
But I’ve seen your spirit raining down
And I’ve felt your presence all around (me)
And I wept when you first touched me
And I’ve hurt and still believed

Verse 2
My God you feel so far away!
Even though in my heart I know that you will stay
My constant perfect friend
Someday soon I’ll see the end

Chorus 2
But I’ve seen your spirit raining down
And I’ve felt your presence all around (me)
And I wept when you first touched me
And I’ve hurt and still believed

Chorus 3
Yeah I see your spirit raining down
And I feel your presence all around
And I sing this song of praise to thee
‘Cause I was blind and now I see

The Void

Verse 1
You rub your eyes and say goodbye
To another night of lust-filled lies
And as you leave you wonder why
That empty feeling’s still inside

Verse 2
Once you get home you try again
As Mary Jane becomes your friend
Inhale her smoke and give a grin
She hides the way you feel within

Chorus 1
The void you feel is always there
In every case and everywhere
Can’t be explained or so they say
But I know there’s another way

Verse 3
Your wife cries out to you again
Your work has taken her place in
Your heart she thinks or so she feels
She leaves again, this time it’s real

Chorus 2
The void you feel is always there
In every case and everywhere
Can’t be explained or so they say
But I know there’s another way

Chorus 3
The way to fill the void inside
Your heart is to let Him reside
So deeply in you cannot hide
The God inside, your God inside

Well, I feel good and I feel fine
I think it’s really love this time
Mom and dad appreciate

The Daisy Song

Verse 1
There she goes, your heart, your soul.
She told you that she loved you,
But that was over a year ago,
And since then she’s loved many others.
You say you’re holding on to what you know.
You think that you still love her.
She keeps telling you that you’ll just have to let go,
But you won’t think of it because it’s too hard.

Chorus 1
You’re a daisy if you do.
You’re a daisy if you don’t.
You’re a daisy if you will.
You’re a daisy if you won’t.
Well, I know you’re love seemed true,
But it’s only hurting you.
You’re fragile heart is turning blue.
Give it some time, you’ll make it through.

Verse 2
You cried when your mother died.
You wept until the morning
As the family shared memories by the fireside,
You realized just how much you missed her.
You wish you could go back and change those times
When you let down your mother.
But it’s too late now, that thought’s not worth a dime,
You can only change the future. What’ll you do?

Chorus 2
You’re a daisy if you do.
You’re a daisy if you don’t.
You’re a daisy if you will.
You’re a daisy if you won’t.
Well, I know your mom loved you,
And she knew you loved her too.
To her your beauty was in you.
Her in your heart will see you through.

Chorus 3
You’re a daisy if you do.
You’re a daisy if you don’t.
You’re a daisy if you will.
You’re a daisy if you won’t.
In everything you do,
And everything you don’t do,
You’re beautiful, that’s true,
But don’t forget you’re fragile too.

All the King’s Horses

Verse 1
They gallop into the fire storm.
Their destination a soul alarm.
To young to be brave and yet they fear no harm,
Because of their Lord’s faithful long arm.
They wage their battle through the night
With holy armor fitted tight.
The Word of God, like a wielded light,
Brings blinding destruction into the fight.
The demons rage. The demons scream.
The demons feel trapped in a terrible dream
As the King’s horses destroy their team
Leaving rotting corpses and a deep blood stream

Bridge 1
And so the story goes of spirit wars and casualties that grow.
And Satan’s weakness sets the show.
And the love of Christ burns with a brilliant glow.

Chorus 1
All of us King’s horses
We’re riding in the night
On our mission for glory,
Our search to do what’s right.
And through the darkness rising,
We heard the angels say,
All of you King’s horses,
God’s grace on you we pray.

Verse 2
The devils wage a sneak attack.
They dig their daggers in a mustang’s backs,
But the King’s horses turn around in their tracks
And lead a Blitzkrieg-type return attack.
The demons screech. The demons cry
As the King’s horses pray into the sky.
Great bolts of fire strike, the demons die
Leaving their black carcasses to putrefy.

Bridge 2
And so the story goes of spirit wars against demonic foes.
The ending we already know.
Christ will conquer Satan with mighty blow.

Chorus 2
All of us King’s horses,
We’re riding in the night
On our mission for Jesus,
Our warm and guiding light.
And through the darkness rising
We hear our Savior’s call,
All of you King’s horses,
Come and give your all.

Ending (spoken)
And so the story goes that all the King’s horses and all the King’s men, after many years of constant fighting day and night, that the forces of good were finally unleashed at full strength and the Lord of this world returned once again to finish the battle which started so very long ago before any of us existed. And as he arrived in splendor, mounted on a wind of fire from Heaven, and before I could blink my eyes, the victory was won. And by the grace of Yahweh this broken world was pieced back together again.
