  Beast

The devil's head is along the highway
He's eletric and gotta nothing to say
Not an easy road in the heat of the day
I'm sick and tired of the tolls I've got to pay
Do you fill my head with lies
I'm sleeping uneasy tonight
My body is broken and I am shaking inside
Pearls before the swine love is higher and law
The purple sky brings out the hungry dogs
Sonny boy Williamson can you tell me what went wrong
Can I have your shoulder to lean on
When a child is unwanted they say justice falls
Let's go into the poor neighborhoods and machine gun them all Salvation is a dove and a branch the rainbow crucified Chill the Messiah who is you Jesus Christ

  Crazy
I can't bear the roosters crow
I guess it's something that you already know
Remember the darkness bless the light
Lest I fall into the night
You might think I'm crazy, crazy like a fox
You might think I'm soft but I'm hard as a rock
I got something , something called fire
I got something take my spirit higher
Stopped wearing black I am tired of look thin
I got a big fat spirit walking born again
Got to get humble going to wash your feet
Got to feed the beggar down on poor's man street
Like a saint I walk on water, turn water into wine
Turn the other cheek, give my eyes to the blind
 
  DadMom
Dad I love you, Mom I love you so much
Please don't go, I know you miss me so much
I want you so much Jesus cares about us
dad I love you, Mom I love you so much
I know you want to be with me
Dad she's coming back to me
Momma was gone, she said she's coming back
I never stopped being me, Dad I love you so much
Dad I love, Mom I love you so much
You're the only one for me, I love you wherever you go
Happy Father's Day Dad, are you all fine
I want to save you in my mind
Dad I want you to be in my mind forever
I love you the way you love me
I want to be with you, be with me forever


  Doubt
I have broken many promises,
thrown cautions to the wind
Rebelled in my youth but here you come again
You are the message in the bottle,
a light that never dims
And though I let you down
you'll always be my friend

Put my faith in fairy tales,
believe what I was told
I've watched the holy eat their own,
suck the meat lick the bone
There is only one voice
my universal guide
You've always been beside me
even when I wanted to die

I will never forget,
I will have no regrets
I don't want to cheat anyone
Don't want to steal from anyone
Don't want to lie
Don't want to quit
Don't want to leave any doubt
Step on anyone,
hurt anyone,
curse anyone

Sometimes I itch and squirm
to crawl out of my skin
You put your arm around me
like the air that I take in
Won't push no needle in my arm
or bathe in gasoline
Never swear in Jesus name
or hide behind the pain

 
  Murder
Feels like suicide salt to the wounds of pain
Pray for a miracle while you are going insane
Carved like a lover's decadent stare
Keep going back to the temptation in the air
Wash away his touch, enemy inside
The Lord will come to her, find the reason to justify
Virtue is swollen, the night is spent and down
She's so sure of herself she'll stare into the sun
Wake up in the morning take a deep breath
There's no smell of roses, just the scent of death
Life's intoxicating like street confetti red
Can't start believing with so many voices in your head

 
  Place

What if I'm right and you are wrong
If I have eternity and you don't have long
What if there is a heaven and a place called hell
What if my foolishness was realy wisdom to your ears
And my preaching brought the spirit so near
What if there is a heaven and a place called hell
What if you could water turn to wine
Would you say a miracle or call it a crime
What if there is a heaven and a place called hell
What if you see Jesus on judgement day
Do you think you'll get a second chance
What do you think the King will say
 
  Scarecrow
Jesus, much like the scarecrow, is there for protection. The world views Jesus as hollow and lifeless; however, He is the light of the world for all who have the courage to believe. Jesus on the cross weathered the storm of all mankind's sins. He stood alone as a gift of love to the world." There you stand, arms out and wide Like forbidden fruit to the squinting eyes Gather us together under your almighty wings Bruise the head and see what tomorrow brings Hand to the plow, forgiving multitudes Give them compassion, why are they afraid of you Proud at the altar, vain before the throne If you are blameless throw the stone Scarecrow all alone Scarecrow bring your children home Betrayed by a friend, hung out to dry Alone in the end, stretched across the sky Eclipse the sun, they know not what they do They say if God is love why would He be so cruel
 
  Thorns
She lost her love, tore the picture of the one she thought of
She's alone again but it's worse than it's never been
She hurts so bad down and out,
she feels the pain of a broken heart
She hurts so bad
she feels the pain of a broken heart

The black rain falls,
the river runs red
Like a crown of thorns
to my head

She holds the cross in her hand
but she feels so could and lost
Take a look inside, nowhere to run,
no place to hide
She never told a lie,
put her faith in love,
never compromised
She had a heavy gun
but she tied her strings,
she never come undone


Restore me
Preserve me

Replace my carnal mind
I'm a sinner with imperfections
Reveal my soul
Give me answers to my questions
 

  One
If plowshares could speak and the lost seek
They would find themselves together
When the new world comes the face of the sun
New wine for all the pain

I know you will catch me when I cannot see
I've walked in these shoes up to my knees
I've birthed a mountain that is had to climb
Weary well doing I will make the time

Chorus

I'm the one
I'm the one
That is what I've become
I'm The One
I'm the one

Verse

Heart and mustard seed Faith is to believe
I dig in the dirt my hands bleed
If answers is why we pray
Let us bow our heads today
