Back to the Walls
02:27
|
|||
Clocking out and not too soon
Gonna rush on home this afternoon
Honey, tell me you don’t mind
If a couple friends drop by
We can push back the furniture to the walls
Turn the living room into a dancing hall
Call out the hymns and songs that you love
Till the sky opens up above
Well I hold down the beats on an old cajon
My own dear wife throws down a tune
The trials of life are here to stay
I guess we all feel the same way
We’re gonna push back the furniture to the walls
Turn the living room into a dancing hall
Call out the hymns and songs that you love
Till the sky opens up above
When we’re totally drained from the work week
The spinning world and the newspeak
No one’s going home till we sing every one we know
We can push back the furniture to the walls
Turn the living room into a dancing hall
Call out the hymns and songs that you love
Till the sky opens up above

Yet a Few More Days
01:57
|

Lord, you multiplied the bread and fishes
Lord, I think about the widow’s jar of oil
Lord, you hear your servant when he prays
Would you keep my motorcycle running yet a few more days
Lord, you made a man to live 900
Lord, I remember Aaron’s rod that budded
Lord, you, how mysterious your ways
Would you keep my motorcycle running yet a few more days
I’m going out, I’m going out on a limb
I’m coming out of the fear I’m living in
And I am pulling on the hem of your garment now
Lord, you...
Lord, I...
Lord, you hear your servant when he prays
Would you keep my motorcycle running yet a few more days

Spirit of God Descend
05:06
|
|||
Spirit of God, descend upon my heart;
Wean it from earth; through all its pulses move.
Stoop to my weakness, mighty as Thou art,
And make me love Thee as I ought to love.
I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies,
No sudden rending of the veil of clay,
No angel visitant, no opening skies;
But take the dimness of my soul away.
Hast Thou not bid me love Thee, God and King?
All, all Thine own, soul, heart and strength and mind.
I see Thy cross; there teach my heart to cling:
Oh, let me seek Thee, and, oh, let me find!
Teach me to feel that Thou art always nigh;
Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,
To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh;
Teach me the patience of unanswered prayer.
Teach me to love Thee as Thine angels love,
One holy passion filling all my frame;
The kindling of the heav’n-descended Dove,
My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame.

Strength from Struggle
03:07
|
|||
Grows dark thy path before thee?
Press on! still undismayed;
Heaven shines resplendent o’er thee,
Though earth be wrapped in shade.
And God, thy trust, hath given,
With word from swerving free,
The angels of high heaven
A charge concerning thee.
He’s given them a charge concerning thee.
Strong in thy perfect weakness,
Thy strength shall never fail;
Mighty in holy meekness,
Thine arm shall still prevail.
Then though thy feet may falter
Even at early morn,
And from hope’s burning altar
The light may be withdrawn,-
Yet from thy self-prostration
Thou shalt awake in power;
From tears and lamentation,
To conquest every hour.
He’ll lead you to conquest every hour.
Strong in thy perfect weakness,
Thy strength shall never fail;
Mighty in holy meekness,
Thine arm shall still prevail.

When Moses Comes
04:40
|
|||
Now it’s my turn to pass along
The promises of Abraham’s song
A visitation, Isaac’s laugh
Jacob died bowed in worship over the top of his staff
When Moses comes, tell him not to forget my bones
Never a day will there be you will not groan
But you know that you’ll never be alone
When he comes, he will lead you safely home
Peace and safety will one day turn
To dark, redundant steps in this sojourn
A visitation, with outstretched hand
God will surely bring you up and you into the Promised Land
When Moses comes, tell him not to forget my bones
Never a day will there be you will not groan
But you know that you’ll never be alone
When he comes, he will lead you safely home
A generation of criss-crossed arms
The body broken, Spirit never harmed
A visitation of endless worth
When the Son of Man comes, let him find faith upon the earth
When Jesus comes, he will not forget my bones
And on that day we will never again groan
When Jesus comes, he will not forget my bones
And on that day we will never again groan
And you know that you’ve never been alone
When he comes, he will lead us safely home
Lead me safely home
