1. Cat got your Tongue
Spent your life in a box
You're the one that never talks
Silence has its way with you
Fear holds back the words so true
Go ahead, speak it out
Don't go silent in the crowd
Fear has got you one more time
Time to kill your foolish pride
Every day tell His story
Preach His power and His glory
Clock is running, time to speak
Slay the silence, don't be weak
Has the cat got your tongue?
Has cat got tongue?
Has the cat got your tongue?
Or just a yellow streak
Down your back?
What a pitty, what a shame
Lost the fight again today
All the things you should have said
When for you the Savior bled
(repeat chorus)
The word of God is alive and true
Speak of what He's done for you
Tell it while you still have breath
Silence paves the road to death
2. Why can't I
I spend most of my days
With my head in the shade
Thinking I've got it made
Deception
My life is spinning around
But I don't make sound
Just a face in the crowd
Life is running so fast
You can't live in the past
Am I flunking the test?
Rejection
Tell me what you believe
Is it planting a seed
Just check it and see
And I tried, I tried, I tried to find
Am I to blind to see
Why can't I
Open my mind to see
It's you I need
Now I've opened my eyes
To look for the prize
I see through the lies
Salvation
I'm no longer the clown
Got my life turned around
And my feet on the ground
(repeat chorus)
3. From Within
Tears are falling, tears falling
Down like rain
Pain's boiling, like the clouds
Without the rain
On a sunny day
My mind's forming , forming circles
Around my brain
Am I going, have I gone
I've gone insane
For another day
Oh, no, I feel the pain
Why can't I see the light
Pain is from within
What rips me up
And tears me down inside
Pain is from within Where can I find my pain
Pain is from within
What rips me off again and again
The day is now gone
Another day aay from You
I'm still sinking
I hit my knees, what can I do
(repeat chorus)
The pain is now gone
Because of You I can live again
Now I realize
That the pain is from within
4. Mr. Psycho
I know a man, a man that can
Bring a, bring a life
From the dead
He was born of a Spirit
A Spirit He was born,
Born in the form of a man
Some call Him Devil, a devil
He was called,
And some said he spoke the truth.
The works He performed,
The things that He said,
Is He psycho or is He true?
Mr. Psycho,
Mr. Psycho,
Mr. Psycho,
I ---- believe in you!
He traveled places,
The places He traveled,
Not for fortune, not for fame.
He healed the sick,
The sick He healed,
They all worshipped
And praised His name.
He taught the truth,
THe truth that He taught,
Led Him, led Him
To His death
But it was true,
The words He said,
After three days
There was breath
(repeat chorus X2)
5. Saving Tree
Upon the bloodied path I trod
Searching for the saving tree
Arms stretched toward the sky
Soaked by sin as the clouds cry
Choosing the wide or narrow way
Many trees along the way
Trees of hate and trees of fear
Saving tree is far from here
Diet of sorrow is what I'm fed
Old man returning, only wanting him dead
Hanging over the fire by a thread
Hope is finding when the Savior bled
6. Said
I said, time has made me bitter pain inside
He said, if you give Me this load
I will take it from you
I said, can I tell You how I feel inside
He said, My child, I am here, tell Me how you feel
Lonely, longing, love, miss, memories, empty, waiting, praying, wanting
Forgiving, sorrow, bitterness, anger, frustration, rage, fire, burning
I can't go on living, please help me, God, heal me
I said, thanks to You
You've healed my broken soul
He said, that's why I came
To give you strength and to make you whole
(repeat chorus)
7. Stupidest Things
You say you're post, and you say you're pre
Some people fight over the stupidest things.
I've got a license, well I've got a degree,
Bu those mean nothing, why can't you see?
People's always fighting,
Wasting time over stupidest things.
Why can't we live each day
Lke He's coming today?
I follow Hagin, I follow Gene.
Well, I listen to Larson,
Bu that don't mean a thing.
I'm not meaning to call you shallow
Can't you realize
Man we cannot follow.
(repeat chorus)
Those charismatics,
They don't use any hymns.
Why, they're Baptists,
We can't worship with them.
WHO CARES!
What denomination we're in,
The same blood washes
Away our sins!
8. No Preps
