Carnival

Move over Satan I'm a God blessed sinner
Try Chewing on the bread of life, that's what's for dinner
I gotta stand my ground, gotta hold the fort
Gotta pray hard because life's life's to short
Spirit tastes great but the world's less filling
You can be all you can be but you have to be willing
The operator's standing by. He's waiting for your call
You know your sould is grungy, He's the stain lifter thats all

I've tried it on my own, I can't just do it
But now I'm in good hands
And I know He'll see me through it
If you can't say this, get a piece of the Rock
Time is runnin' out -- Tick Tock, Tick Tock
Many times in life you're gonna take a lickin'
But when Jesus Christ has your back,
You're gonna keep on tickin'
Tickin' like a time bomb that's waiting to explode
Without pain and streets of gold is where you're gonna go!

Trigger Happy

Man this world's going down the tubes
With gangs and guns and drug abuse
For the moment whatcha got to lose
Extend a hand, do what you can do
This is my cry, this is my plea
To make a better society
Do you want to see insyde of me?
Wake up and smell the coffee
Any punk can point and pull the trigger
But it takes a real man to bite your lip and to take a stand
Any punk can point and pull the trigger
To walk away is a loss of pride but at least you're still alive

Gotta act big, gotta stare me down
You're actin' stupid like a drunken clown
You could be foolin, may be jokin around
Someday your jokes may put you in the ground
Lord, oh please, I'm so confused
Why do they do what they do?
Why can't they focus more on you?
They are blind to the truth

Put down your guard, let your fists relax
Don't need your boys to get your back
Say something nice, don't always attack
No one gets hurt, no one gets whacked
Change your style and you will see
It is much better in unity
No more violence, no more pain
Jesus saves from going down the drain

I Say

Well I can't understand why you treat me this way
You can't understand what I read and stuff I say
You come around here saying that you want to get away
When all you have to do is hit you knees and start to pray
I can't understand my God up above
Because after all I do, He still gives me love
I can't see what you see insyde of me
But I know the truth and the truth will set me free

When I'm all alone, You're always by my side
The Lifter of my head, the Lifter of my pride
I cannot wait until I hear the trumpets sound
And you will come back and once again walk this ground
I give you all my glory; I give it all to you
Because of all the stuff you have done
And all that witch you do
For I can't endure the things I see in this world day by day
But I can always count on you and give you all my praise

This I Know

I don't know which way the world turns
I don't know how the hot sun burns
I don't know just how a flower grows
I don't know which way the wind blows
I don't know why the sky is blue
Why the grass and the trees have got to be green
I don't know just what I'd do
If I didn't know that Jesus loves me

Oh, this I know(4x)

I dont know what things you have to hide
I don't know what you feel inside
I don't know if your heart is right or wrong
I don't know where you think you belong
I don't know what your faith is in
If you believe in Him or just say you do
Doesn't matter what your past has been
All that matters is that Jesus loves you

Common Riddle

I don't know what's wrong with society
I don't know but I think it might be me
People look for ways in which to be free
But freedom doesn't come through faith in what you believe You clouded mind
makes you fell unsure
You take your junk and the rest is all a blur
But Jesus Christ is your only cure
You tell her things you think she wants to hear
But being alone is your only fear
you wake up empty and your life is still a mess
Your only hope is J-E-S-U-S

You got your magic stone aroung your neck
your psychic friend says your life's a wreck
Your soul's confuses and your heart wants more
'Cause Jesus Chris is knocking at you door

Enthos

The walls are closing in on me
I'm getting dizzy and it's hard to see
My lungs are heacy and it hurts me to breathe
Can't lift my head, stare at my feet
It's all getting clear
You tell me I don't want to hear
I know you see my eyes the fear
I clench my teeth and shut my ears
I've tried it all and I'm sick of fighting
The words of the truth made clear in writing
Oh, Lord deliever me!
I want to be free so I may mount up on wings

For once I don't feel so dead
I can breathe again and lift my head
No longer bound to a life once led
True to everything he said
I want to fly all around
And not look back or touch the ground
I want to fly up so high
And look deep into your eyes
Gravity means nothing to me
Just another lock broke free
Against my face the wind will blow
To the world your glory shows
I'm tired of Satan's attacks
Get the devil off my back
Down the tunnel I see the light
Nevermore will I have to fight!

Oh, Lord deliver me
I want to be set free
I want to fly so high
Look deep into your eyes

House For Sale

Oh Lord I love you so
Never want to let you go
You are always by my side
You always fill me up inside
Never turn my back on you
Faith in Christ will see me through
I can't wait to leave this place
I can't wait to see your face
Oh, Lord I want to go home

Buddy Boy

I've broke away from a lot of things
That I thought would improve my life
But the one thing taht im sure of is my love for Jesus Christ
Big car, big house, big bank, but still empty insyde
I may not be a superstar
But there's some things money can't buy
A carefree attitude is what I leave the house with everyday
Because I know if mountains come
They'll be moved from my way
I believe in Him with every ounce of faith in me
All my chains will break and I will be set free

Because He is the one
I'm guaranteed to have fun
If problems come
I will not run
No damage will be done
<2x)

I go on with my life and let Him live through me
Try to set good examples so outsiders can see
You don't have to find your answers
In the smoke from a toke
Cause Jesus Christ my savior is the only way to go
I know when I die I'm gonna leave this chunk of dirt
And go to a place with streets of gold
Like nothing seen on earth
You can sit and cry or you can come with me
All you have to do is ask of Him and He will set you free

Walking Dead

Everything looks the same
We're all just playing a game
Wonder why your life seems lame
What you need is Jesus name

You smoke your dope and sniff your coke
Messing 'round like your life's a joke
You need a relief and you need it fast
Your quick highs, Man, they won't last
You say being different is being cool
Every day I see the same in school
Hey man can you bum me a red?
Wish I never got out of bed
You say your life is a big mistake
That's one thing God doesn't make
Feeling low, feeling down
It won't happen if God's around
I can see the emptiness in your eyes
Your lack and want of Christ is no disguise
In life's stuggles you lose your nerve
Choose this day whom you will serve

Sacrifice

Taken in the night from a prayer with his father
He didn't even fight, no didn't even bother
Betrayed and denied by the ones He loved
But He knew this was the reason He was sent from above
He was the King, The Christ, the Spotless Lamb
But in our eyes He was nothing but a sham
His love, the drive -- His life, the price
To become the sinner's sacrifice Beaten and whipped, garments stained blood red
Had a crown of thorns pressed upon his head
And the people all laughed as they mocked his name
But all that could be heard were his screams of pain
Brought before Pilate to recieve his sentence
And to think this was all for my repentance
Pilate pointed to the people,"Let them decide!"
And we all screamed, "We want him crusified!"
Tree on his back as he marched from the city
They yelle, they spat, the sight wasn't pretty
Led to the hill where His death He'd meet
Then they drove the nails into His hand and feet
Suffocating deat was now all he felt
While in the crowd some wept and knelt
It's our sin that this man dies
Jesus took a deep breath, and closed his eyes...

Weebles

My Father is the King but I already know this
The light of my life, to Him weary eyes focus
Hung on the cross for the whole world to see
I have the light of the world burnin' insyde of me
He let the lame to walk and the blind to see
A little fish and some bread, a million people to feed
Three days later he arose from the ground
You can knock us over, but we won't stay down

We're like weebles, but we won't stay down
You better listen up good, we ain't fooling around
We're like weebles, but we won't stay down
I once was lost but now am found

He's the Miracle Worker, the great I Am
Known for many throughout the land
He talked to people about what was right
To save my soul, His life was sacrificed
He saved my soul from a darkened life's end
Always with me He defined a true friend
He opened his hands and let love run free
I stood in the sun and let it pour on me
