There's a number of times when
we do things without seeking
God first.
We go on as if He doesn't exist
we run, we hide, we're bold
we're selfish and we deny His
will to help and we destroy.

The stars of the night, He  has
bless us to see by the promise
of our eyes opening during the
beginning of the day.
We lie, we cheat, we forget His
glory of each passing minute
when we don't pray.

The weaknesses of the world
comes crashing down upon
us at the blink of an eye.
Bringing troubles that seems
unbearable at times simply
because we think we can
do anything without putting
God first.

Sometimes you get stuck in a place
and you don't know what to do
You hear cries in the night, you
look around, theres nobody there.

Who is it, who am I, who are you
why are you here and what do we
want, we just don't know and we
keep wondering why is it us.

The silence is all around you and
it has me covered with dismay
you don't care and we are lost in
turmoil of what we just may be.

How do we get out of this mess
what do I do to be removed from
who and what you are and you
be ridden of who I just may be.

Will we continue to sink into the
darkness that's inside of me
must I continue to suffer the
bitterness of who you really are.

The flowers are dead all around me
and the ground on which you are
standing on the grass will never grow
no spring and there is no sunshine

Empty spaces for you and the fun
of the circus don't exist for me
why are we here and who am I
and what will you turn out to be.

Night begins to fall in
you can't sleep
Darkness finally comes
you begin to weep

You tremble inside as
he approach your door
You count every step as
he creep across your floor

Unwanted touches that
cause you so much pain
You feel guilty and you
carry so much shame

You're being told that
nobody should find out
You're being promised
hurt and that's no doubt

He force you to believe
that everything is alright
You feel something inside
that say you should fight

Stop the madness and
this is a true fact
Tell someone your story
and take your life back

A: always full of greed and the destruction of others
B: believes the world owes her something for free
O: others were nothing to her but a stepping stone
R: ran others away when they saw her coming
T: told lies just to get her own selfish way in life
I: insist on causing others pain, she has no clue
O: one man stands up to her no matter what the cost
N: never knew his unborn child because she didn't care

Out on the ocean you see colors
blue green, purple, blue, etc.
If you look closer you'll even
see someone just like me.

Out on the ocean you just may
find the sunlight and the rain.
If you look closer you'll even
see someone in pain.

Out on the ocean you can see
the stars and even the moon.
If you look closer you'll even
see someone who died to soon.

Out on the ocean you feel the
wrath of an unexpected wave.
If you look closer you'll even
see someone who has been saved.

Out on the ocean you will see
a fish and a flying sea gull.
If you look closer you'll even
see someone who has no love.

Out on the ocean you can take
a look down and see your face.
If you look closer you'll even
see someone who's lost in space.

Out on the ocean you can and
somehow forget about bad times.
If you look closer you'll even
see someone who God did find.

A pretty smile she had
hair black and wavey
She liked to tell us stories
about a snake crawling
through a hole under the
bed.
She seem to always be
happy whenever we came
to town. She convinced me
talking about that snake I
found it very hard to lay
my head down.

I often wondered if it was
her own private joke just to
see what I would do. I loved
going to Mississippi to show
that I loved her too.
Miss Callie Mae was a joy
to me, each and every time
It was something very, very
specical about this lady
who was a grandmother
of mine.

Current events keeps clashing
with the events of the pass
Leaving me broken and sad
shattered inside like broken glass

A voice keeps saying to me
you know right from wrong
Giving me a clear path to the
keys and melody of Jesus song

Surrounded and tormented by
nothing but darkness and pain
That's a lot of weight for one man
carrying such guilt and shame

Praying to listen and learn how
to pick up my bags to move on
I've decided to climb the tallest
mountain to hear Jesus song

When I really think about it all
there's really no better choice
How cool would it be for a man
standing to hear His sweet voice

I'm asking for forgiveness and a
prayer to keep growing strong
It's time to leave the pass behind
to live by the words of Jesus song
