Resurect Me

It takes a long time to kill a man
Fifty-five years at least
Until he breaks down
Starts to look underground
To go off, and get him some peace
I want to die a lot quicker then that
If that's my only way out
I've been counting up the coast
Getting up on that cross
I want to know what this is all about
Father Time steals our days like a thief
There's no price that I wouldn't pay to get some relief
I've become the empty shell
Of a man I don't like so well
I am a living, breathing hell
Come on and resurrect me
I tried to drown the pain with a friend of mine
It didn't seem to help
She's got a pretty face with her wedding lace
But I'm still waking up with myself
I know what it means to choke it down
Down until your legs get weak
I know what it's like on a Saturday night
To be alone in a crowded street
Father Time steals our days like a thief
There's no price that I haven't paid to get some relief
I've become the shell of a man
I am beginning to understand
I've forgotten who I am
Come on and resurrect me
Resurrect me
Come on and resurrect me

Psalm 10:14

But you know all about it— the contempt, the abuse. I dare to believe that the luckless will get lucky someday in you. You won't let them down: orphans won't be orphans forever.

Green in God's House

Still loving this verse.

Good Name

I just really love this verse.

Psalm 52:8-9

And I'm an olive tree,
growing green in God's house.
I trusted in the generous mercy
of God then and now.
I thank you always
that you went into action.
And I'll stay right here,
your good name my hope,
in company with your faithful friends.

Psalm 52:8-9

8 And I’m an olive tree, growing green in God’s house.
I trusted in the generous mercy
of God then and now.

9 I thank you always that you went into action.
And I’ll stay right here,
your good name my hope,
in company with your faithful friends.
A David psalm

Jars of Clay

Well you thought you let go
but you’re still hanging on
Mother Earth slowing down
she’s still spinning around
and we… are getting dizzy…
I’ll drop out of the race
for more personal space
Cos the rockets we’re in
get so cold, and I miss your skin
It’s just how I’m feeling
If you need more love well you’ve got to get close to me
If you want my love well you’ve got to get closer to me.
No unreachable itch,
If you hemorrhage I’ll stitch
You are tears, I’m a cheek.
I’m a pail on your boat with slow leaks
Out to sea for weeks
If you want my love well you’ve got to get close to me
If you need my love well you’ve got to get closer to me
Oooo if you want my love
I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough
I want your kite strings tangled in my trees all wrapped up
Well, I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough
I’ll be the comets that are falling from the sky you light up (light up)(?)
You’re my shirt iron on. I’m the tick, You’re the bomb
You’re the ‘L’ and the ‘V,’ I’m the ‘O’ and the ‘E’
Am I speaking clearly?
If you want my love well you’ve got to get close to me.
Oooo, if you want my love
I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough
I want your kite strings tangled in my trees all wrapped up
Well, I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough
I’ll be the comets that are falling from the sky you light up
Cos I don’t understand why we can’t get close enough
I miss the chills in my spine every time that we touch
