sun began to rain
[Go to Song Page]
A thief fell out of heaven with some loaded dice
But the lamb rolled a seven back to paradise
The bread was finally leavened so I had a slice
And the sun began to rain
Water swelled from fountains and then turned to wine
Rocks fell from the mountains in a chorus line
He came in tails and top hat and he looked so fine
Yes the son began to reign
A fox snuck in to steal away the grapes
But the man who ran the vineyard shut the gate
So he could not escape
And now we'll live forever in another land
Everything is ending like it first was planned
Did you get your invitation to come play in the band
And let the son begin to reign
A thief fell out of heaven with some loaded dice
But the lamb rolled a seven back to paradise
The bread was finally leavened so I had a slice
And the sun began to rain
Water swelled from fountains and then turned to wine
Rocks fell from the mountains in a chorus line
He came in tails and top hat and he looked so fine
Yes the son began to reign
A fox snuck in to steal away the grapes
But the man who ran the vineyard shut the gate
So he could not escape
And now we'll live forever in another land
Everything is ending like it first was planned
Did you get your invitation to come play in the band
And let the son begin to reign
if the bombs fall
[Go to Song Page]
Acid rain falling from on high
While a mushroom cloud fills up the sky
I don’t want it all to end this way
What about the songs we haven’t sung
What about the things we haven’t done
What’s the matter with the world today
When the bombs fall, oh yeah
When they end it all, oh yeah
When the bombs fall
I'll still believe in you
You have made the world a place to live
You have filled the heart with love to give
People go on fighting anyway
Can't they hear the children in the street
Don't they see the homeless at their feet
Why do people turn their face away
When the bombs fall, oh yeah
When they end it all, oh yeah
When the bombs fall
I'll still believe in you
And through the tears and all the moonless nights
You are still here to help me see the light
No matter what may come
I'll still believe in you
Acid rain falling from on high
While a mushroom cloud fills up the sky
I don’t want it all to end this way
What about the songs we haven’t sung
What about the things we haven’t done
What’s the matter with the world today
When the bombs fall, oh yeah
When they end it all, oh yeah
When the bombs fall
I'll still believe in you
You have made the world a place to live
You have filled the heart with love to give
People go on fighting anyway
Can't they hear the children in the street
Don't they see the homeless at their feet
Why do people turn their face away
When the bombs fall, oh yeah
When they end it all, oh yeah
When the bombs fall
I'll still believe in you
And through the tears and all the moonless nights
You are still here to help me see the light
No matter what may come
I'll still believe in you
a woman of god
[Go to Song Page]
I need a woman who doesn't take drugs, don't mess with men
Believes the bible, despises sin
Lifts me up instead of knocking me down
Follows God 'stead of running around
I need a woman who's kind and true
I haven't found her but until I do
I'll be looking for a woman of God
A woman with a righteous heart
You know I'm looking for a woman of God
Who doesn't easily fall apart
I need a woman who knows the measure of what she's worth
Stores up treasure but not on earth
Seeks God's will in all that's done
Keeps her mind on the holy one
I need a woman who's kind and true
I haven't found her but until I do
I'll be looking for a woman of God
A woman with a righteous heart
You know I'm looking for a woman of God
Who doesn't easily fall apart
The bible says a good wife who can find, she's more precious than jewels. The heart of her husband is glad in her. She does him good, not evil, all her days. She reaches out to the poor. And her children, her children shall rise up and call her blessed [Spoken]
That's why I'm looking for a woman of God
A woman with a righteous heart
You know I'm looking for a woman of God
Who doesn't easily fall apart
Yeah-oh-yeah
I'm looking for a woman of God
A woman with a righteous heart
You know I'm looking for a woman of God

Woah woah, I'm looking for a woman of God
A woman with a righteous heart, raaa raaa
I'm looking for a woman of God
Who doesn't easily fall apart
Still I'm looking for a woman of God
A woman with a righteous heart
I'm looking for a woman of God
Who does not fall apart (Who does not easily fall apart)
Yeah eh
I keep looking
For a righteous heart
I would rather be alone
Than be wi.., with a woman who does not love you God
You cannot take me back to Egypt
I am free
I have all I need
Except

For a woman of God

we three twogether
[Go to Song Page]
Will true love smile on you
Sometimes you never know
And I myself was lonely
Not so very long ago
Life was hard, times were bad
Heart was broken, I was feeling sad
My dreams had blown away like a feather
Could not smile, could not sleep
Nothing helped, not even counting sheep
Heart filled with rain, no change in the weather
My faithful friend
Whose name is Phydeaux
He could not chase away my blues
Ah but he tried though
Empty heart, full of strife
Then one day love walked into my life
And all at once we stood there together
Bra ba ba
Bra ba ba
Bra pa pa pa pa ba da pa da
Wha pa pa pa pa
Wha pa pa pa wa
Held our breath for a baby boy
Two months early, big fat bundle of joy
And now we three are happy together
Our dearest friend
Old faithful Phydeaux
He could not come along to the baby ward
But he tried though
Love abides, life makes sense
Great big house with a little white picket fence
And now we three are happy together
Will true love smile on you
Sometimes you never know
And I myself was lonely
Not so very long ago
Life was hard, times were bad
Heart was broken, I was feeling sad
My dreams had blown away like a feather
Could not smile, could not sleep
Nothing helped, not even counting sheep
Heart filled with rain, no change in the weather
My faithful friend
Whose name is Phydeaux
He could not chase away my blues
Ah but he tried though
Empty heart, full of strife
Then one day love walked into my life
And all at once we stood there together
Bra ba ba
Bra ba ba
Bra pa pa pa pa ba da pa da
Wha pa pa pa pa
Wha pa pa pa wa
Held our breath for a baby boy
Two months early, big fat bundle of joy
And now we three are happy together
Our dearest friend
Old faithful Phydeaux
He could not come along to the baby ward
But he tried though
Love abides, life makes sense
Great big house with a little white picket fence
And now we three are happy together
here comes the king
[Go to Song Page]
(Wo wo-oh wo-oh wo-oh wo-oh ooh ooh)
The world is ending with a shout from above
Here come the angels with the champion of love
The fight is over, the victory belongs to the king
The gates of heaven have been opened for you
The prince of darkness and his minions are through
The demons are in terror of the song that the angels sing
Ah here comes the king, oh here comes the king
Here comes the king, mmm-hmm, here comes the king
The earth will shake, the moon will turn to blood
Armies will be drowned in the crimson flood
No one can escape the coming battle that the end will bring
This world’s imprisoned at the end of the age
The king of hearts holds the keys to the cage
The palace of shadows will be invaded and the halls will ring
Here comes the king, here comes the king
Here comes the king, wo-oh, here comes the king
Here comes the king (Here comes the king), mmm-hmm, here comes the king (Here comes the king)
Here comes the king (Ooh woo-ooh), woah yeah (Here comes the king)

You can run through the rain
You can hide in the night
But you never will escape
From the total revelation of the heavenly light
(Wo-oh)
I can see it coming and it won’t be long
He’ll change the night from day and the right from wrong
Death is all around us, let us waken from this dream
There is no escape for the human race (Ooh ooh ooh)
Faith alone will take you to the edge of space (Ooh)
You can enter by the door or you can stand in the shadows and scream (Ooh ooh ooh)
Here comes the king (Here comes the king) [x2]
Here comes the king (Ooh woo-ooh), Oh oh

somewhere out there
[Go to Song Page]
Well I hope that somewhere out there is a woman for you
And I hope that someday waiting is a baby or two
'Cause the best gifts in life are kids and a wife
I’ve never wanted to be no star
And I’m afraid that God is still the only reason
That I pick up my guitar
Oh oh oh [x3]
When you’re awake I try to show you all the love I can give
So you’ll have strength for the fight
‘Cause as you get older life gets harder to live
I love you more than anything else on earth
I think about you all the time
And every night I’m praying that the second birth
Will someday be the first thing on your mind
Oh oh oh [x6]
Love might be blind
And life is very often so unkind
But when you’re trying to live the way you should
Sometimes you don’t know right from wrong and white from black
And when you’re trying to love the best you can, baby you don’t hold nothing back
Whoa oh oh whoa woah oh oh whoa woah oh
Well I hope that when you’re older you will understand
Why your life ain’t turning out exactly the way it was planned
'Cause everything keeps changing on this crazy planet
Sometimes I don’t know what I can do, but I’m working hard for our future
So be good to your mother and you’ll make your father happy too
Oh oh oh [x2]
Oh ah ah
Oh oh oh [x3]
Love might be blind
And life is very often so unkind
Sometimes you try to live the way you should
Don’t know right from wrong, white from black
And when I’m trying to love you the best that I can, baby I don’t hold nothing back
Whoa oh oh
Oh oh oh [x2]
Since you came into my life these last three years, I’ve felt a new kind of pain
It really breaks my heart when each tour starts and you’re waving goodbye to the plane
I’d like to live at home for the rest of my life and spend every day playing with you
But that’s not the reason I was put on earth
I gotta make my father happy too
Whoa oh oh whoa oh oh, yes I do
Mmm mm-hmm-mm-hmm-mm, oh oh ho whoa oh ho
Oh oh oh ah oh oh ah oh oh
Oh oh oh whoa oh oh ah oh-oh
Well I hope that somewhere out there it’s all waiting for you
And I hope that when you get there you know what to do
If you fall down get back up, you know I love you so much
And I hope that when you’re out there you will make it through
Oh oh oh [x11]
Ah ah ah
Well I hope that somewhere out there is a woman for you
And I hope that someday waiting is a baby or two
'Cause the best gifts in life are kids and a wife
I’ve never wanted to be no star
And I’m afraid that God is still the only reason
That I pick up my guitar
Oh oh oh [x3]

soul on fire
[Go to Song Page]
Ow
When I was a little boy
In a all black neighbourhood
Well it was rough and tumble in a concrete jungle
Hard to do the things you should
But I walked the straight and narrow
I kept looking higher
Because Jesus
He set my soul on fire (fire)
And when I was a young man
Temptation was all around
And when the darkness finds you
It slips up behind you
Tries to knock you to the ground
But I just kept on going
I was so inspired
Because Jesus
He set my soul on fire (fire)
One day a light from above shone down on my face (Ooh ooh)
And lifted me up to a heavenly place (Ooh ooh)
I heard voices of angels on a distant shore (Ooh ooh)
And Jesus healed me (Ooh ooh)
And brought me back to life once more (Ooh)
Now I am a grown man
With a vision locked inside my heart
And I speak to men of their pride and sin
And the need to be set apart
And I can run like a lion
I do not tire
Because Jesus
He sets my soul on fire (fire)
Soul, soul on fire [x2]
Soul on fire [x3]
Soul on fire (Soul on fire) [x5]
Soul on fire
(Soul on fire) I can run like a lion
(Soul on fire) And I do not tire
(Soul on fire) Jesus set my soul on fire (Soul on fire)
Soul on fire [x4]
Ah ah-ah ah ah
Ah ah-ah ah ah ah [x3 ]
Ah ah ah ah uh-oh
Ah ah-ah ah uh-oh- oh
Ah ach tah ah
Ah ach tah ah uh uh oh oh
Ow
When I was a little boy
In a all black neighbourhood
Well it was rough and tumble in a concrete jungle
Hard to do the things you should
But I walked the straight and narrow
I kept looking higher
Because Jesus
He set my soul on fire (fire)
And when I was a young man
Temptation was all around
And when the darkness finds you
It slips up behind you
Tries to knock you to the ground
But I just kept on going
I was so inspired
Because Jesus
He set my soul on fire (fire)
One day a light from above shone down on my face (Ooh ooh)
And lifted me up to a heavenly place (Ooh ooh)
I heard voices of angels on a distant shore (Ooh ooh)
And Jesus healed me (Ooh ooh)
And brought me back to life once more (Ooh)
Now I am a grown man
With a vision locked inside my heart
And I speak to men of their pride and sin
And the need to be set apart
And I can run like a lion
I do not tire
Because Jesus
He sets my soul on fire (fire)
Soul, soul on fire [x2]
Soul on fire [x3]
Soul on fire (Soul on fire) [x5]
Soul on fire
(Soul on fire) I can run like a lion
(Soul on fire) And I do not tire
(Soul on fire) Jesus set my soul on fire (Soul on fire)
Soul on fire [x4]

my feet are on the rock
[Go to Song Page]
My feet are on the rock, my name is on the roll
But moving and a grooving does not satisfy my soul
So when I’m down I go off on my own
When I feel moved I dance before the throne
Just like David [Spoken]
Some people think I’m strange
Yeah they think I’m some kind of fool
You know they shake their heads in church
And they laugh at me in school
But I believe someone rolled away that stone
And I am not alone
So when I feel the need I dance before the throne
Take it easy, nice and slow
Feel his presence, don’t you know
If he says follow, I will go
I feel like dancing, ‘cause he saved my soul
Goliath had a sword, David had a stone (Dum bum bum dum bum bum bum)
I have got the Lord and I am not alone (Dum bum bum dum bum bum bum)
So if you knock me down (Ooh woo woo woo)
Oh brother I will not fight you back (Ya ya ya ya, woo wo-wo wo-wo woo-oh wo wo)
You know God loves all his children (Wo woo woo woo)
Red, white, yellow, brown and black (Wo-oh oh oh oh oh)
Go Charley go
My my my, such a little boy too, mmm hmm
My feet are on the rock, my name is on the roll
But moving and a grooving never satisfies my soul
Don’t wanna do the stroll
When I’m down I go off on my own
And I am not alone
When I feel moved I dance before the throne
Mmm mm mm
Back off Jimmy, it’s not wrong
This kind of music comes from the church not from the devil
Now I hope you heared me
Good night
God bless you
My feet are on the rock, my name is on the roll
But moving and a grooving does not satisfy my soul
So when I’m down I go off on my own
When I feel moved I dance before the throne
Just like David [Spoken]
Some people think I’m strange
Yeah they think I’m some kind of fool

the man from galilee
[Go to Song Page]
OK roll it
One two one two three [Spoken]
Well a blind man standing by the side of the road
He was a blind from birth, it was a heavy load
And though he lived a good life he could not see
Up walked the man from Galilee
He touched those eyes and he made that blind man see
There ain't never been nobody like the man from Galilee
Lazarus died and for four long days
He laid in the grave and he did not raise
His sisters kept saying how can this be
Up walked the man from Galilee
He said Lazarus come forth and he was set free
There ain't never been nobody like the man from Galilee
You got to stand on the rock to get your name on the roll
Do not stray, do not stroll
If you're all messed up and don't know what to do
Then brother I am talking to you
You got to stand on the rock to get your name on the roll
Do not stray, do the stroll
If you're all messed up and don't know what to do
Then brother I am talking to you
Well they nailed him to the cross, they laid him in the ground
They put soldiers at the grave and there were people walking round
Saying this is the end of christianity
Up rose the man from Galilee
When I die I know where I want to be
Standing in the presence of the man, yeah
There ain't never been nobody like the man, yeah
Never been nobody like the man from Galilee
And this is just the beginning
OK roll it
One two one two three [Spoken]

country church
[Go to Song Page]
Last Sunday there was preaching
We all went out to hear
The little church was crowded
The rich and poor were there
It was a splendid sermon
The singing full and free
Country church, country people
With their eyes upon the Lord
Built a church with a steeple
As a place to hear his word
You can live and die in the same small town
But the Lord spreads his love all around
The choir was dressed in glory (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Their voices dressed in love (Ooh ooh ooh)
The music told the story (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Of God who sent his son (Ooh ooh ooh)
How Jesus came from heaven (Ah ah ah ah)
To set the sinner free (Ah ah ah ah ah)
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost
But now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
The choir was finished singing
And the congregation stood
While the spirit touched and filled them (Ooh ooh ooh ooh)
With power, love and good (Ooh ooh ooh)
From God who reigns in heaven (Ah ah ah ah)
Always watching every man (Ah ah ah ah ah)
And guiding all his children
With his kind protecting hand
Oh (Oh oh oh)
Country church, country people
With their eyes upon the Lord
Built a church with a steeple
As a place to hear his word
You can live and die in the same small town
But the Lord spreads his love all around
But the Lord spreads his love all around (Ah ah ah ah)

sitting in my kitchen
[Go to Song Page]
I was sitting in my kitchen
Thinking about my life
And how some men end up all alone
Some men take a wife
How old men get discouraged
And young men go astray
And for every sinful thing we do
Somehow we will pay
I got up to get my bible
Some pages fell onto the floor
Well it’s an old one that my father had
And his father before
It’s been with me since my childhood
I was saved in '52
When I look back at my troubled life
I give thanks I’ve made it through
I am free, I can see
And I’m who I wanna be (Ooh ooh ooh)
Mercy me, mercy me, mercy me (Ooh)
Yeah
Na na na na na na na na na na
Why does it take so long
Na na na na na na na na
To learn to stand and be strong
I grew up in San Francisco
In a real rough neighbourhood
Where they beat you bad if you were tough
And worse if you were good
But I came through those times
With a lot of love for those boys that knocked me down
And I pray some day I’ll see them
And we’ll be standing on sacred ground
I am free, I can see
And I'm who I wanna be (Ooh ooh ooh)
Ah mercy me, mercy me, mercy me (Ooh)
Oh yeah
I am free (mercy mercy), I can see (mercy mercy)
And I'm who I wanna be (Ooh ooh ooh)
Mercy me, mercy me (yeah yeah), mercy me (Ooh)
Yeah, woh woh ah yeah oh

with a love like yours
[Go to Song Page]
With a love like yours
A man could live in beauty and in grace
If I were a king I'd give everything
Just to see your face
With a love like yours
A man could be completely satisfied
He'd have no more fears
He'd shed no more tears
And have no more need to hide
You have saved me
You have saved me
You have saved me from myself [x2]
Ah, you have saved me
You have saved me
You have saved me from myself
You know you have saved me
With a love like yours
A man could live in beauty and in grace
If I were a king I'd give everything
Just to see your face
With a love like yours
A man could be completely satisfied
He'd have no more fears
He'd shed no more tears
And have no more need to hide
You have saved me
You have saved me
You have saved me from myself [x2]
Ah, you have saved me

Even if you don't believe it’s gonna come true
Even if you don't believe it’s gonna happen to you
He's gonna come down, take a last look around
And with both feet off the ground you'll be homeward bound
Even if you don't believe it's gonna come true
Even if you don't believe it's gonna happen to you
It’s so true
He's gonna come down, take a last look around
And with both feet off the ground we'll all be homeward bound

Even if you don't believe it's gonna happen to you

goodbye, farewell
[Go to Song Page]
Goodbye, farewell
We'll meet again
Somewhere beyond the sky
I pray that you will stay with God
Goodbye my friends, goodbye
The light grows dim
But in this hour
I have no tears to cry
My heart is full
My joy complete
Goodbye my friends, goodbye
I feel no loss of hope as I've grown older
Only this worlds weight upon my shoulder
My heart beats to a slower song
So softly in my veins
The night is warm but in my sleep
I dream of heaven's rain
Everything I am I’ve tried to show you
In this life I’ve been so blessed to know you
Goodbye, farewell
We’ll meet again
Somewhere beyond the sky
I pray that you will walk with God
Goodbye my friends, goodbye
Goodbye my friends, goodbye
Goodbye, farewell
We'll meet again
Somewhere beyond the sky
I pray that you will stay with God
Goodbye my friends, goodbye
The light grows dim
But in this hour
I have no tears to cry
My heart is full
My joy complete
Goodbye my friends, goodbye
I feel no loss of hope as I've grown older
Only this worlds weight upon my shoulder
My heart beats to a slower song
So softly in my veins
The night is warm but in my sleep
I dream of heaven's rain
Everything I am I’ve tried to show you
In this life I’ve been so blessed to know you
Goodbye, farewell
We’ll meet again
Somewhere beyond the sky
I pray that you will walk with God
Goodbye my friends, goodbye
Goodbye my friends, goodbye
