Adonai

Well I'm ugly as sin, that is to say I'm not good lookin
But I can bust some ska, in fact the rythym rhyme is cookin
Brighten up your soul and loosen up your brain
Make my heart beat all fast like the girl from plain Jane
Now please allow me to proceed and bust my rude boy flow
On the underground scene at the underground show
Grownups, kids, and inbetweens I guess it takes all kinds
Cuz I guess we got true love, my blood, my blood true love is blind
One purpose is to worship and make the body strong
I don't care about your haircut, can't we all just get along?
Not just get along, but really love and care
If your eyes are on the Lord you can't see nobody's hair

Adonai, Adonai

Well I don't claim to be a rhymin apparatus
I don't want to be a gangster, I don't want to be the baddest
I ain't no Al Pacino and I ain't no Al Capone
I'm just a rude boy with a new toy
Add two speakers and a microphone
So listen up, listen up and make sure that you can hear me
I'm your brother and I'm your friend some come and get near me
I'm a sinner like all of you don't make me into an idol
I'm a preacher, I'm a saint, and I'm a sinner, guess I fit the titles
Gotta keep a humble heart, because my good is not enough
Jehova Jireh gotta give the glory up up up
To Y'shua me salvitore
Gotta give you all the glory God, I give you all my fears
God I give you all my years
You're my God and I will bow, I show all the proud people how
You're my God and I will bow, in fact, I think I'll bow right now

Adonai, Adonai

Who Can Be Against Me

It seems like everyone I help just falls
And how I need someone to make me feel assured
I don't need anyone if you're on my side Lord

And I say, hey, who can be against me?

No matter how hard I try I always fall
I'll never be like Christ
I know I'll struggle to the day, the very day I die
And how I need someone to make me feel assured
I don't need anyone if you're on my side Lord

And I say, hey, who can be against me?

God look at me I'm just a man
But you tell me I'm not just a man
You're so hard to understand, after all I'm just man
God you tell me not to doubt
But I'm always plagued by doubt
And you always help me out
I'm so ashamed (of my doubt)

Unknown

Killin' ourselves faster than fast
Livin' in the future, livin' in the past
I haven't always been in Christ
I know what you're going through, man
A couple of years ago I was just like you
Lookin for answers, lookin to myself
Thinkin that Christians just love Jesus for their health

But I didn't know about Jesus
i tried to be like God, but when I tried I failed
And every time I fail, and fail
I know I rail a nail straight into the cross of Jesus
Straight into the wrist of Jesus
And now it's 1996, a hard year to be a Godly man
It seems the more I speak the Word, the less they understand
You gotta know about Jesus

Never Wanna Fall

I know that old life I loved my booze
Then God said "boy, you gotta choose"
I chose God's way and here I am today
I'm in Christ and He's in me

Don't let me fall down
Never wanna fall, never wanna fall
Fall down

God don't let me fall down

Roots

I never felt like this
I never seen the light shine so bright

Never been the same, never been the same no

I have no other gods
There are no other gods
Jehova nicci, LORD over my victory

Heaven

There's no tears in my eyes today
i've only got good things to say
The Son has chased away the clouds of grey
I'm going to heaven and I'm going to stay
All smiles there, no trial there
No fears there, no years there

I'm going to heaven
We're going to heaven
Our tickets are all paid to heaven that God made
Say goodbye to blue Monday, no pain on Sunday

I don't need no women or wine
When I got heaven on my mind
Be so far above cloud nine
You and me and God till the end of time
All smiles there, no trial there
No fears there, no years there

He Will Always Be There

Who am I that You would take the time to find me?
Who am I that You'd reach out you're hand?
Lord what am I but just a sinful sinking man?
I didn't even know who God was, Until He told me He's my Dad

And it's just because he loved me
And He'd rather die than live without me
He love me and He'd rather go through hell
Than to go to heaven without me
And I love Him and I'll stay with him until the end of time
One thing I know God gave His life for mine
He will always be, He will always be,
He will always be there

Who am I that You'd know my name?
Who am I that You'd help me win this losing game?
Who am I that You'd stay all day by my side?
God I fail but at least You know I tried
i didn't even know who He was
then God told me I'm His son

I count on God, I love him best
He helps me through my trials and tests
He will always be there when I call
Always catch me when I fall
He will always be there

Exalt

When I hate me and they hate me
He has love me. He'll always love me
He'll let me exalt him, let me exalt Him
Let me exalt him, oh Lord

It doesn't mean I won't be scared anymore,
Doesn't mean I won't have doubt anymore,
Doesn't mean I won't have fear anymore,
Doesn't mean I won't have heartache no more,
I'm alive, so alive

God from forever, until forever
You are God, You are God, You are God, You are my God,
Let me exalt you, let me exalt you, let me exalt you oh Lord

Paul was walking on the road to Damascus
A big bright light and the Lord came and asked him
Darkness to light, com follow me
And after he was blinded, he could finally see
I once was lost til' the Lord came in
He captured my heart and took away my sin
And now I'm living for Jesus cuz' of all He's done
God gave mercy through His only Son

And then He found me

O.C. Supertones

We ain't got no place to go
Let's go to the rudeboy show
I wanna hear them play it rude
Gonna pop some rudeboy attitude

You I get up when I hear and then He found me
You know I'm safe and sound with my rudeboyz all around me
WEll The Supertones are up, we gonna kick it to the burbs
And our purpose is to server in case you hadn't heard
Father, Son, Spirit, hear it, near it, fear it,
Father, son and holy spirit
God's alive and He's here right now, here right now

That's just life down in Southern California
That's just life in Orange County California

Well if you used to be a Christian then you never was
Just sittin' up in church and sayin' what a Christian does
Teh world's got the gun, but the devil's got the trigger
Stand strong with Faith, deeper than a t-shirt or a sticker
You probably ask yourself, how'd this Jew get so crazy?
Came from kickin' mad knowledge, didn't come from being lazy
We got the rythym and the rythyms got roots
I'm a crazy little Hebrew on stage wearin' monkey boots
I love to be onstage and sing bimskalabimmin
I love to be out in the crowd a skankin' and a swimmin'
King David, my great grandfather, was a dancer
King Solomon, my great grandfather, was a romancer

Jesse came from Jesse, but Jesse came from Jesus
Now come to Lord Jesus cuz Lord Jesus frees us

I Love God

Gotta give me something that will last
Someone that won't judge my past
Give me a future that is bright
Open my eyes up to the light
I love God and God loves me
He sets the chosen people free, today
He is the way the truth and light
He is the I'll say I'm right
He gives me hope he gives me peace
His grace and love will never cease

Blood Washed Pilgrim

I saw a blood washed pilgrim, a sinner saved by grace
Up on the King's great highway, with peaceful shining face
Temptations score beset him, but nothing could a fright
He said the yoke is easy, the burden it is light

Psalms of victory, crowns of glory
psalms of victory I shall wear

I saw him in the furnace, he neither doubted or feared
And in the flames beside him, the Son of God appeared
Though seven times it was heated, with all the tempters' might
He said the youk is easy, the burden it is light

I saw him overcoming, through all the swelling strife
I saw him cross the threshold of God's eternal life
The crown, the throne, the scepter, the name
The stone so white for those who are found in Jesus
The burden it is light
