Wayfarin' Stranger

I am a poor
wayfarin' stranger
I'm travelin' through
this world of woe
And there's no sickness
no toil nor danger
in this bright world
to which I go.
I know
dark clouds
will gather over me
I know my way
is rough and steep
but beauteous fields
lie just before me
where god's redeemed
their vigils keep.
I'm going home to see my mother
she said she'd meet me
when I come
I'm only goin'
over Jordan
I'm only goin'
over home.
I want
to wear
a crown
of glory
I want
to shout
salvation's
story
when I join up
with that bloodwashed band.
I'm goin' home
to seek my savior
to sing his praises
forevermore
I'm only goin'
over Jordan
I'm only goin'
over home.

Lately

Lately he's gone home and the radiator's burning and the room is steamy
and lately he's been reading books and answering the phone all dreamy
and lately he's been looking at signs and wondering if he should go there
go to the meeting and find the friend who will travel to the coast with you and back again
go to the concert and decide that you are part of the people, the music, the show, the knowing
your child is a lucky child he holds the key to learning
but your child doesn't come in when recess is done and all the other children are returning
and your child must discontinue this autonomous behavior so he'll finish his homework
cuz I am the teacher and I want to teach him that society won't hold his seat for him
late to the platform costs him forty-five percent of his earnings, his savings, his share, his fare mind
if you like you can carry full term and we can answer any questions
but you might rather control the evolution and have this painless period ended
and if you desire you can cut your own vein and you won't have to pray for counsel
cuz yours is the owning of a genius or a blossom which may bring the world around again
and yours is the combing of the tangle of the meals and the anger, the crying, the need, the pleading
go to the meeting and find the friend who will travel to the coast with you and back again
go to the concert and decide that you are part of the people, the music, the show, the knowing

bird of my heart
I'll watch you fly
fly away
I know I'll never see you
the same
again
now I'm your mother
soon I'll be
your sister
sister traveler on the road
I know you'll never see me
the same
again
you're gonna pass me on the road
you're walkin fast, I'm walkin slow
you're goin somewhere, I've already been there
you're gonna pass me on the road
but as long as I live and breathe
I will carry you
small once
and warm in my arms
I know I need to change

Need for Faith

soldiers of the lord
they're fighting for the peace
they're fighting for the right to say
hold on now
it's coming
your happiness
be sure now
it's here now
your happiness
it's here
be sure
it's come
hold on
rivers of the lord
they're flooding for the peace
they're flooding through the halls of hell
hold on now...
devils, devils happen if you see them
devils, devils kill if you believe them
hold on now...
children of the lord
they're crying for the peace
they're crying to be hushed to sleep
hold on now...
devil, devils...

when the river
overflows
breaks its boundaries
wrecks your home
you can't prevent it
it's got the power
you're just a witness
before the final hour
you can't stand in the way
in the way
of love in the way of love
when I saw her
over there
with the rainbow
in her hair
I knew the answer
before the question
I had to have her
before the night was done
you can't stand in the way
in the way
of love in the way of love
if I leave you
you know I
I don't mean to
make you cry
it's just the heartbeat
I have to follow
too much comfort
will hurt you more than sorrow
you can't stand in the way
in the way
of love in the way of love

Darkness, Darkness

Darkness, darkness, be my pillow.
Take my head and let me sleep
in the coolness of your shadow
in the silence of your deep.
Darkness, darkness, be my blanket
cover me with endless night.
Take away the pain of knowing.
Fill the emptiness of right now.
Darkness, darkness, long and lonesome
is the day that brings me here.
I have felt the edge of sadness.
I have known the depths of fear.
Darkness, darkness, hide my yearning
for the things that cannot be.
Keep my mind from constant turning
towards the things I cannot see.

Wondrous Love
15:41

What wondrous love is this?
o my soul, o my soul
What wondrous love is this
that caused the lord of bliss
to send such perfect peace
to my soul?
When I was sinking down
sinking down, sinking down
When I was sinking down
beneath god's righteous frown
christ set aside his crown
for my soul
To god and to the lamb
I will sing, I will sing
To god and to the lamb
who is the great I am
while millions join the theme
I will sing
And when from death I'm free
I'll sing on, I'll sing on
And when from death I'm free
I'll sing and grateful be
throughout eternity
I'll sing on
