Pass Me Not

pass me not, O gentle savior
hear my humble cry
while on others thou art calling
do not pass me by
savior, savior
hear my humble cry
while on others thou art calling
do not pass me by
trusting only in thy merit
would i seek thy face
heal my wounded, broken spirit
save me by thy grace
savior, savior
hear my humble cry
while on others thou art calling
do not pass me by
thou the spring of all my comfort
more than life to me
who have I on earth beside you
who in heaven but thee
savior, savior
hear my humble cry
while on others thou art calling
do not pass me by

we're lost inside your maze
you've fixed us in your gaze
you're going to lead us to the center and devour us
you're going to chew us up
you're going to spit us out
you're going to fill us up with love and hope and faith and doubt
we're going to go crazy
your spirit is a woman made all of light
she's hidden herself in blankets of night
she wanders the world weeping and crying
and looking for the pieces of you trapped inside
the world that you have made with your hands
the world you gave to woman and man
and you're calling to the children of abraham
and every tribe and nation from the back of your van
to drive us crazy
i wish i knew your name
i wish i knew your name
i wish i could see your face
we're trying to express this with our tongues
pretty much failing 'cos they're thick and dumb
but you gave us these sweet opposable thumbs
and arms and legs and a kingdom to come
so lead us on with your drum and fife
march us out into the night
God help us to lose our minds!
once we were blind but now we're just plain crazy!
we want to know your name
we want to know your name
we want to see your face
even if we have to go insane

satan, your kingdom must come down
satan, your kingdom must come down
i heard the voice of Jesus say
satan, your kindgom must come down
we're gonna pray until we pray your kingdom down
we're gonna pray until we pray your kingdom down
i heard the voice of Jesus say
satan, your kingdom must come down

Jesus Calls Us
06:10
|
|||
Jesus calls us o'er the tumult
of our life's wild restless sea
day by day his sweet voice soundeth
saying "christian follow me"
Jesus calls us from the worship
of the vain world's golden store
from each idol that would keep us
saying "christian love me more"
in our joy and in our sorrows
days of toil and hours of ease
still he calls in cares and pleasures
"christian love me more than these"
Jesus calls us, and by thy mercies
savior may we hear thy call
give our lives to thine obedience
serve and love thee best of all

If Only...
05:21
|

if i only had one leg
if i had no hair on my head
if all my friends and family left
if i was at the steps of death
if i never found a mate
if i lived out in the street
if i never caught a break
if they burn me at the stake
if my nights are always cold
if i don't get to grow old
if i lost my only child
if i am always out of style
if the money never comes
if i lose both of my thumbs
if my lover dies at sea
if no one will remember me
if i am nothing much at all
if i were only four feet tall
if i am hated and despised
by the learned and the wise
if this song is not a hit
still i would count it excrement
next to knowing you and to have seen
the way your eyes have looked at me

God Of The Dead
04:09
|
|||
God of the dead
God of the dead
God of the breathing again
God of the earth
God of the grave
God of the rising and the raised
open your mouth
open your mouth
open your mouth
and breathe our new name
God of the fallen
God of the flood
God of the bleeding and the blood
hold up the wretched
lower the proud
lead us with your fire and your cloud

Go To Dark Gethsemene
06:54
|
|||
Go to dark Gethsemane,
ye that feel the tempter’s power;
Your Redeemer’s conflict see,
watch with Him one bitter hour,
Turn not from His griefs away;
learn of Jesus Christ to pray.
See Him at the judgment hall,
beaten, bound, reviled, arraigned;
the wormwood and the gall!
O the pangs His soul sustained!
Shun not suffering, shame, or loss;
learn of Christ to bear the cross.
Calvary’s mournful mountain climb;
there, adoring at His feet,
Mark that miracle of time,
God’s own sacrifice complete.
“It is finished!” hear Him cry;
learn of Jesus Christ to die.
Early hasten to the tomb
where they laid his breathless clay;
All is solitude and gloom.
Who has taken Him away?
Christ is risen! He meets our eyes;
Savior, teach us so to rise.

there is an empire
sitting where we sit
there is a barbed wire
scratching our cheek in
there is a factory
made out of cement
there is a small flame
escapes from the top of it
there is a thick wall
built out of blue coal
there is an army
one thousand years old
there is a land and
it is full of giants
but do not lose step and
do not be frightened
cause there is a great fire
and it comes from the mountain
we wait in the watchtower
trying to keep it lit
it cannot be too much longer
we wake up slow we come like a ghost town
our bandages weave into our wedding gown
o sleeping city! o you stealer of souls!
do you see us coming? do you see us coming?

If you had not been with us
If you had not been with us
they would have swallowed us alive
The waters tried to engulf us
their fury broke against us
we were overwhelmed
and we surely would have drowned
If you had not been with us
If you had not been with us
they would have swallowed us alive
Blessed be the Lord
who did not leave us to be torn by their fangs
If you had not been with us
If you had not been with us
they would have swallowed us alive
The waters tried to engulf us
their fury broke against us
we were overwhelmed
and we surely would have drowned
Blessed be the Lord
who did not leave us to be torn by their fangs
We escaped with our lives
like a bird from the fowler’s snare
the snare was broken
and we escaped with our lives
Blessed be the Lord
who did not leave us to be torn by their fangs
We escaped with our lives
like a bird from the fowler’s snare
the snare was broken
and we escaped with our lives
Our help is the name of the Lord
The Maker of heaven and earth
Our help is the name of the Lord
