V1
There's no one else to trust,
I trust you Lord
Of all that i might lust,
I long for you Lord
Bridge
Forever connected, securely protected; free
This world rejected, still you excepted me
Chorus
On my knees
Let nothing in me interfere
On my knees
Holy Spirit you are welcome here
On my knees
Make all resistance disappear
On my knees
Holy Spirit you are welcome here
V2
You formed me from the dust
I live by you Lord
This earth will fade and rust
But you renew me Lord
Bridge
Forever connected, Securely protected; free
This world rejected, still you accepted me
* I will give small descriptions of how the songs came about
in a few days.*
enjoy.

Train Wreck - First Post
(Click title of post to download the song)
Read Mark 2:15-17 before listening. I will post a good translation in the comments section as the first comment for those of you who are without your bible at the present time.
Train Wreck
Verse 1:
I remember they said you were all quite pleasant
You some inarticulate innocuous presence
You were as genteel as a sleepy Sunday Drive
I remember no comfort in those stories they told,
In the lies they tied in their perfect collared folds
In the ruby studded links that put their hands in cuffs
Chorus:
Cause you're the coal burning
You're the slow churning
You're the blind siding
The Life unwinding
You're the twisted metal in the train wreck of your love
Verse 2:
And they took me to task and the task was too great
So I fell from their ranks and I gained their disgrace
But they clung to their stories and sinched their knots up tight
And you watched them all choking and you watched them all die
You wrecklessly came like the thorn in my side
And you mangled my models and melted my iron-clad faith
Chorus:
Cause you're the coal burning
You're the slow churning
You're the blind siding
The Life unwinding
You're the twisted metal in the train wreck of your love
You're the smell of the sulfer
You're the wreckage perfume
You're the green house gas in the chemical plume
You're the twisted metal in the train wreck of your love
Bridge:
And their necks crained from their silken noose
And they watched from their white washed tombs
And they scoffed the tragic imprint of
A life wrecked love

Blinding
(click on the title to download song)
Another moment in time, like that means something to me.
You see; I’m not bound by those things.
There is no sin that’s above; from that I distance myself.
And every battle I’ve won.
Do you know me?
You say you know me.
To live as Christ, and to die? Now that’s a dangerous thought.
Would you accept if I called you to it?
Where seed is hitting the path, your life a symbol displays
that comfort doesn’t last long.
Do you know me?
You say you know me.
The time is coming; it’s set. It’s just a moment from now.
It’s not a question of how. You can’t know that yet.
I’ll just raise my hands and all problems are solved.
So are you ready for light if it’s blinding?
Drawn to shoreline again where you can see everything,
and face the space that’s been blocking your view.
Can an inch not divide? And yet you think you possess
all you need to survive?
*This song was just recently re-recorded. I wrote this in 2003 and
it was originally done faster, with a lot more intricacy in the guitar,
and with djembe. I can always post the original if anyone is interested.

Hymns for Friday-Great Jehovah
(click on the title to download song)
I was asked to rewrite a hymn for Church on Sunday. My wife helped me redo it. This is very rough, but here is how it is coming. I will take this post down on Sunday, and be uploading a new song by the Baker. Listen to this one while you can and let me know how you feel about it.

Whisper
(click on the title to download song)
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
I will watch for you
I will look for you
I will stay for you
I will wait for you
So this is a song that I recorded awhile back called "Whisper." Here are the lyrics:
Left alone
Broken, torn down
With nowhere left to run to
Nowhere left to hide
You find me here
You tell me that
You'll come too
So I'm waiting for you know
Are you coming in the wind?
Are you coming in the flames?
Are you coming with a force
That will make these mountains shake?
Waiting
Not knowing when
Listening for
Looking for you to come
Are you coming in the wind?
Are you coming in the flames?
Are you coming in my dreams?
Are you coming in the pain?
Are you coming in the wind?
Are you coming in the flames?
Are you coming with a force
That will make these mountains shake?
Will it be different somehow?
Could it be, are you whispering to me?
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
I will wait for you
I will watch for you
I will look for you
I will stay for you
I will wait for you
