Secret Sin
Lord, I failed You again
Same old so called secret sin
I thought no one was watching, no one cared
The truth is You were always there, You were always there.
The secret’s out without a doubt
I can see more clearly now
I tried to run. I tried to hide
But You were there right by my side
Father, Father forgive me,
I know what I do is wrong
Father, Father forgive me
I’ve been hurting You all along
I’ll not fail again.
I failed You, yet again oh Lord
Secret sin’s not so secret anymore
Somebody was watching
Somebody cared
Somebody died
My life was spared
The secret’s out without a doubt
I can see more clearly now
I cannot run, I cannot hide
For You will be right by my side
Father, Father forgive me,
I know what I do is wrong
Father, Father forgive me
I’ve been hurting You all along
I’ll not fail again
Secret’s out without a doubt
I can see more clearly now
I cannot run, I cannot hide
You’ll always be right by my side

Once Again
Oh Lord, I really blew it this time
(I really blew it good)
I got caught walking on the thin line
(Between evil and good)
Now I reap the sins that I sow
(Like You said I would)
And I feel so alone
(And that don’t feel so good)
Oh Lord
I feel that
I can’t turn my life around
Because I’m standing on shaky ground
The more I struggle the more I fall
Can anybody hear my call?
Oh Lord, I pray to You above
(I’m in the rut of sin)
Wrap me in your arm of Love
(And forgive me once again)
Please guide me to the narrow road
(Lead the way once again)
Now I know I’m not alone
(You’ve cleansed me of my sin)
Oh Lord
Without You
I can’t turn my life around
Because I’m standing on shaky ground
The more I struggle the more I fall
Can anybody hear my call?
Oh Lord, hear my cry
And please lift me up so high
Plant my feet on solid ground
Help me turn my life around
Once Again

Wayward
You say you don’t fit into the mold of what beautiful is
You say you have no reason left to live
Now you are searching for answers
The pieces don’t seem to fit
Pieces don’t seem to fit
CHORUS
Wayward
I see you looking skyward
You reach for the stars
I am not that far
Wayward
I see you looking skyward
You reach for the stars
Don’t look that far
If you look you will see my role in what Beautiful is
Don’t look to a god that does not live
I’m here to give you the answers
If you accept the life I give
If you accept the life I give
CHORUS:
If you accept the life I give
CHORUS 3x
Wayward

God Of The Mountain
God Of The Mountain, God of the sky
I call Your name Holy, I lift Your name on high
I give all the glory to You
God of the ocean, God of the sea
I bow down before You upon my bended knee
And give all the honor to You
Chorus
No One else is worthy of the praises that I sing
And the praises that I sing are a holy offering
To You Oh Lord
God of the nations, King of all the kings
For this very reason, your praises will I sing
I’ll sing all my praises to You
God of creation, God of all the land
I’ll praise Your name forever, and for You I’ll make a stand
All of the glory is for You!
Chorus
God of the music, God of this song
If You are behind it, it could never be wrong
For you are the reason I sing
God of the mountain, God of the sky
I call Your name Holy, I lift your name on high
I give all the glory to You, Lord.
Chorus

My God

My God
My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?
My God, My God, what about me?
My God, My God, why have You forsaken me?
My God, My God, I’m hanging on a tree
They put two thieves beside Him
They treated Him like one too
He cried, “Father forgive them,
For they know not what they do.”
He could have called all the angels
To help him down from the tree
He could have called all the angels
But then He wouldn’t have saved you or me
And then the sky grew black
He tore the veil in two
He rolled away the stone
He did this for me and you

Soar 2019
I’m folding up my wings
I do not feel like flying today
Am I ready to face the stings
That death will bring my way
Is my voice ready to sing?
Is it worthy of the King?
The candle burns to wax
Not to be snuffed out by the wind
Still the tension won’t relax
But prayer has left me disciplined
My life is nearing its climax
I’ll soon take flight into the wind
Can they hold me these wings of mine?
Can they take the weight of me?
I want to soar on high
Are these wings ready to fly
And am I ready to finally say goodbye?
I don’t want to leave from here, but I cannot stay
Cuz You are calling me home.
As You’re reminding me
Of all the things You did for me
Open up my eyes
Take me by the hand
I know that I can stand
With You I know I’ll be
Together in eternity
I want to soar on high
But these wings don’t wanna fly
I want to soar on high
I may be leaving but this is not goodbye
I want to soar on high
But these wings don’t wanna fly
I want to soar on high
I may be leaving but this is not goodbye
I may be leaving but this is not goodbye

Midilife Crisis
Jimmy was a drummer man
In a rock and rollin’ band
One night Jimmy went to bed
Scary dreams they filled his head
Seems his job had been replaced
Drum machines take little space
One less person to be paid
Perfect rhythm always played
He’s going through a
Midi-Life Crisis
He’s been put into
A stasis
Midi-Life Crisis
Dennis was a guitar man
In a hard, hard rockin’ band
One night Denny went to a gig
Was replaced by a keyboard rig
Seems that people would rather dance
To hip-hop music and techno trance
Programmed by computer geeks
Performed by purple, spiked-hair freaks
Gregg he is a keyboard man
Programs music that is canned
People dance and people sing
They really dig this techno thing
Computer virus ate his song
How could this have gone so wrong?
Now he cannot play tonight
Because his computer took a BYTE!

Eager
You came into my life
And presented to me Your plan
You want to draw me into Your hands
And teach me how to help my fellow man
Oh God, I know Your will
Calm my nerves and make me still
So I can hear Your words
And see You move
Chorus
I’m so eager
Eager to see You move
I’m so eager
Eager to know Your love
Show me where to go
I am eager
Oh tell me what to say
I give to You my life
Use it according to Your plans
You may send me to foreign lands
Or have me be a witness to my friends
Oh God, reveal Your desire
Lord, help me never tire
So I can share Your Word
And see You move
Repeat Chorus
Fulfill Your plan through me
(as I) Let Your Spirit fill me
So I can hear Your Words
And see You move.
Repeat Chorus 2x
Show me where to go
I am eager
Oh tell me what to say (Repeat)

Can I?

Can I
There was always something about you
That is why I am continually drawn to you
You send tingling into my heart
You sent me reeling from the start
With you I want to spend all of my time
Because you bring the rhythm to my rhyme
(Chorus)
Can I unfasten the clasp of your necklace?
Can I whisper to you until we embrace?
Can I look so deep into your tender eyes?
Can I sit with you under the starry skies?
I can’t explain the allure of your smile
To be with you I would walk more than five hundred miles
Your pure beauty has me so spellbound
It is hard to keep my feet on the ground
Your tenderness is more than I deserve
Everyday it is you I pledge to love and serve
(Chorus 4x)

Fly Away
Oh yeah!
Since the beginning of time, man has wanted to fly
And soar with the wind like a birdie in the sky
Then one day in the twinkling of an eye
Gonna leave this world, see ya later, buh bye!
CHORUS 1
I’ll Fly Away, oh Glory!,
I’ll Fly Away
Are ya with me?
I ain’t got no wings, I don’t got a jet
But when Jesus comes back you can certainly bet
I could be walkin’ on the street, or sittin’ in my chair
No matter where I am, I’m gunna meet ‘im in the air.
If He doesn’t come back before my final day
It doesn’t really matter what anybody say
I’m gonna fly on up to that Heavenly place
And see my Lord, face to face.
REPEAT CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2
I’ll Fly Away, oh Glory!
I’ll Fly Away
When I die Hallelujah by and by
I’ll Fly Away
Some bright morning when this life is o’er yeah
I’ll fly away
To that home on God’s celestial shore, yeah
I’ll fly away
CHORUS 1
I’ll Drop the beat, and rise from my seat
I’m both escaping and bringing the heat
Just like a phoenix rising from the flames
My soul is proving its losing it’s chains
It may be the end, but I’m really just startin
I’m a death row inmate with a last minute pardon
I’m not sweating or fretting this earthly grave
When I’m finished dying, you know I’ll fly away
