1. Time
Time - it said will tell
Time - will always take away
Time - reveals the signs of age
When youth has passed away
Time - I feel it lurking here
Time - I see it coming clear
Time flies when there's peace of mind
How it's measured in the rough
Like one being so unkind
Rising from the dust
Time - we live by it's counting
Time - the beating of the drum
Time - it tells us when we can
Or what we cannat do
But our GOD is not held by time
Nor is He restrained
By it's hard bindings
Like chaff blowing in the wind
Time exposing your sin
Appearing clean
But hiding evidence within
When will we escape the strongholds of time
2. 1990
As I start to pen my thoughts
A rush goes through my head
Memories of 1990
Slowly passing by
I can still feel the pain
Like a sword pierced my heart
Selfishness, robbing me of you
I would always talk to you
But now not for days
I was slowly leaving you behind
Caught up her in what was going on
(It seemed so important then
but looking back now I see)
I didn't see what was ahead
Where did I go
What did I do
I let myself become king
I've seen where I've been
I know what I've done
It's time to let go and forget 1990
Again I'm here to pen my thoughts
Rushing wind blows through my head
Memories of 1990
I guess I'll always feel the pain
Feel the pain pierce my heart
Selfishness robbing me of you
Where did I go
What did I do
I let myself become king
I've seen where I've been
I know what I know
It's time to go on and forget
3. Learn
A man's life, a boot camp
Preparing him for the grave
There is nothing more to living
Or so I thought I heard them say
Existence carnal, I am but a man
Drifting in a soul filled ocean
Fallibility, a probability
Humanness takes its toll on me
(WRITE YOUR WORD - ON MY HEART)
Time after time, we make the same
Line after line, when will we learn
A cosmic commotion
Psychic friends on TV
Call, inquire about your future
Falsified guarantee
Man's deception
Satan's deceit in a world
Full of washed convictions
An emptiness in the mind of
The viewer of the screen
To bleive in such idiocy
To live and learn the nature of man
No on escapes this lesson
Father please forgive me for
I know well what I do
Just surround me with your love
And help me LEARN
4. Who Am I
A man's life, a boot camp
Preparing him for the grave
There is nothing more to living
Or so I thought I heard them say
Existence carnal, I am but a man
Drifting in a soul filled ocean
Fallibility, a probability
Humanness takes its toll on me
(WRITE YOUR WORD - ON MY HEART)
Time after time, we make the same
Line after line, when will we learn
A cosmic commotion
Psychic friends on TV
Call, inquire about your future
Falsified guarantee
Man's deception
Satan's deceit in a world
Full of washed convictions
An emptiness in the mind of
The viewer of the screen
To bleive in such idiocy
To live and learn the nature of man
No on escapes this lesson
Father please forgive me for
I know well what I do
Just surround me with your love
And help me LEARN
5. Renew
You tell yourself that you've been had
'Cause even dead you still seem sad
Robbed of your peace of mind
Letting the cares of this
World take control
Why don't you just pass it by
Allow the renewing of your mind to
Take it's place
Was it better for you when
You were alive
Rotting contentedly in your old life
Strung out on what you can find
Injecting confusion to the new found grace
Why don't you just let it go
Allow the renewing of your mind to
Take it's place
Even dead you still seem so sad
Get a life and make us all glad
The stench dwells
All around you
Get a life, let light surround you
Robgbed of your peace of mind
Letting the cares of this
World take control
Why don't you just pass it by
Allow the renewing of your mind to
Take it's place
6. The Rain
Memory of myself the slave
Realize the one who brought the pain
Looking back, I feel the need to blame
It was then I cried
Help me
I know you see
And I'm all tied up
Help me
Set me free
I've seen the rain
And I've felt the pain it brings
Remembering me
The life I lived
The toll it took
The night you found me in the rain
7. Reflection
Time is a reflection
Of past misery so near
Loneliness is real
Looking towards the clouds
For the answer
(and the truth)
Truth itself is real
Abiding only in One
Reaching for a dream
A quest sought by man
Throughout time
8. In The Will
And there he stood so very still
His weary eyes gased
Into the open sky
Voice of Jehovah breaking
Through the den of noise
For his humble servant to hear
Now take your son, your only son
The one I know you love so dear
Land of Moriah calls
A place for worshipping
A place to sacrifice your son to me
And if we're still, so very still
Our eyes gasing into the heavens
Voice of Jehovah will break through
Teh cares of this world
For all his children to hear
Love his son, his only son
The one who draws us near
Voice of Messiah calls
A time for worshipping
A time to sacrifice our hearts to Him
In the will
9. Desperate Cries
I see the cars passing by
Countless people walking the streets
Desperately hurrying to
Where they must go
Living a life
Believing a lie
Refusing to see what must be shown
They're dying
When we know the truth
We hide it all away
Who'll speak the Father's words
Can you hear them crying
With desperate cries
The cries of the children all around
Being robbed of their innocence
Learning and seeing the depravity
Of a nation gone to hell
We must give His truth unto them
They're dying
Can you hear them crying
With desperate cries
10. Sanctuary
Should the stars get in
Your eyes tonight
Remember - remember - Love
And should the strong winds
Become far too much
Remember - remember
Your sanctuary
Should you come into
The promised land
Remember - remember
From where you came
And if your greatest fears are realized
Remember - remember
Your sanctuary
Hush pretty baby and don't you cry
Your daddy's here so
Brush the tears out of your eyes
Brush them from your eyes
Should you find you have
The things you need
Remember - remember - Me
And should the moon turn red
Stars leave the sky
Remember - remember
Your sanctuary
