1. Primitive Rhythm Machine
CHORUS
Primitive Rhythm Machine, it's the true, rhythm of
the natives, tho wholy rhythm. God creates, jungle beats
Evil, only perverts.
Verse 1
African tribes, L.A. gangs, Australian natives
Europeans will know about
Salvation, the time has come to change your ways
Throw your conceptions out, look to people, not yourself.
High and mighty, that's not right. God created all things.
BRIDGE
That's all men.
That's all music.
That's everything
CHORUS
Verse 2
Glacial dwellers, South Americans, tribal people.
All men must know about
Salvation, the time has come to change your ways
All this music will all pass, it's just part of this world.
God's music of all nations. All parts of God's creation.
BRIDGE
Verse 3
Hard music, soft sounds, street beats,
Music crowds will know about.
Salvation, the time has come, to change your ways.
Look beyond a culture style, yourself on what's right.
You must turn around, to know your Creator.
BRIDGE
INTERLUDE
Heavy, music, rhythm, God's way.
CHORUS
2. Mephibosheth
Verse 1
David made a covenant with Jonathan
A promise of trust, the spilling of blood
Slaughter the heifer, walk between two parts
Off with my head if I break the oath.
CHORUS
Mephibosheth
Blood covenant
Verse 2
Jonathan died in battle
David, ascend to the throne
Mephibosheth a cripple
Son of Jonathan lost
Left behind as they fled
Oath of death upon David's head
CHORUS
BRIDGE
The search went out for Mephibosheth
Caught, imprisoned, cursing rebel
Brought before King David's throne
Thought that death was imminent
David remembers the covenant oath
He'll show kindness to Jonathan's house
Seen as now the son of the king
All that was Saul's would now be his
Verse 3
You are Mephibosheth
David, symbolic of God
Your resisting His throne
The blessing of the blood covenant
Christ died for you, you don't even know
CHORUS
3. Seen It All
Verse 1
Bosnian land mines, Russian end times
baby kill pills, induced suicide bills
Stare the world down in its eyes
see the emptiness, deception and lies
CHORUS 1
Have we not seen from our easy chair,
The convicted psycho's evil glare;
Numbed to life's blood and death
T.V.'s reality we're being fed;
BRIDGE 1
For mans success will be the blackest of gain!
A certain season for terror to reign!
Verse 2
Nazi war crimes, the poor's poverty lines
earthquakes in Japan, move destiny's hand
The petty division, in our wealthy lands
starve children, taking food from their hands
CHORUS 2
Have we not seen troubled eyes;
More pain and tearstained cries;
Our will to bring change;
Will help us turn;
BRIDGE 2
O, God haven't you seen it all
Since man's rise and fall
Have mercy on our kind
For it's you we must seek and find
O God haven't you seen it all, Devastation and deaths call
It's cause and effect has come
This worlds terror has begun
My God haven't you seen it all
The reassurance op pain, by our choice it remains! My God!
Verse 3
Nations banking, U.N. backing
revelation unfolds, talons take hold
a stared empty glare, raised not to care
life sucked back within, black ugly sin.
CHORUS 2
4. The True Essence Of Power
Verse 1
Riding free I see the way I feel
Don't touch my soul the day I bow
to your low ways, will be the day I never see.
BRIDGE A
Leave me, in the Name of my Lord
Verse 2
Hoping peace will keep me all the days of my life, I will bow
only to Christ the real life of my being now.
CHORUS
The True Essence Of Power
The True Essence Of Power
JESUS
Verse 3
Surely goodness and mercy will follow
me all the days of my life
I serve the King, the founder of my soul.
BRIDGE B
With me, always
Jesus, save us
Verse 4
Blackness hates my God, I see
eternal death will come to those who leave the path of life to
follow with evil ways.
INTERLUDE
What is the path you see
Satans plans you death
to be young, before your time
Hope is what you need
Christ planed your life
to be forever, eternally
Verse 2
CHORUS
5. Toxic Shock
Verse 1
Over indulgence in substance you require
To settle down, to feel sane, the his is in your mind
Veins pumping, eyes lost, hideous life of pain
It hates you now, the joy is gone, death crime insane.
CHORUS
Drug free body, you must deceide
Drug free body, beware! The toxic shock.
Verse 2
A life of compulsion, excessive in every way
No moderation, more sensation, feelings inside your brain
Young bodies may take it, but age will tell the toll
Satans plan to kill you young, possession growing strong.
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Pain, fear, despair
Hope, it is the other way of life, you can be saved
from the toxic shock, from the pain inside
From a mind of loss, see the cross
Verse 3
Back street hangout, in drains you do await
Body shacking, heart is racing, frantic for you man
More suffering, excessive, ways have killed your mind
You will crawl the gutters of filth to fix your pain
CHORUS
Verse 4
Many will testify, that through the power of God
All is broken, all is clean, God can heal your mind.
Drug free, it can be your way
Simply see that it is done, Christ is there to save.
CHORUS
6. 40 : 31
Verse 1
I live on a wing and a prayer
In majesty I ride.
Inheritance of royalty
Flows within my blood
Soaring to the heights
The eagle shall be bold.
CHORUS
Isaiah 40:31
Isaiah 40:31
Verse 2
I ride the wings of change
Agile in the wake of hate
Ruling with an iron sword
Death to my taunting prey.
Faithful to my final quest
The eagle shall be bold.
CHORUS
Verse 3
Those who wait on the Lord
They shall renew their strength
Mount up with wings like eagles
They'll walk and shall not faint
They'll run and not be weary
The eagle shall be bold
CHORUS

Verse 1
I am gonna feel, when I'm gonna fall, in my heart now
