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

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 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.

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.

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
