Son of God
I can’t find my way
Son of God
Son of God
Do you mind?
Son of God
Son of God
I’m just passing through
Son of God
Son of God
How ’bout you?
Could I ask for a light?
Cause there’s no one else
Could I stay for awhile
Cause I’m all by myself
Show me…
Yeah I like when you smile at me
Cause when you do man I feel complete
And I would speak but they’d just make fun
And I would love yeah but I just wanna run
But when I’m with you I feel like I’m something
I feel like I’m something
Show me
Son of God
Son of God
I can’t feel my hands
Son of God
Son of God
Don’t cry
Son of God
Son of God
I can hardly move
Son of God
Son of God
I can try
I would hold you fast
If you held me too
I would pay for my crimes
If you took me with you
Show me
Yeah I like when you smile at me
Cause when you do man I feel complete
And I would speak but they’d just make fun
And I would love yeah but I just wanna run
But when I’m with you I feel like I’m something
I feel like I’m something
Son of God
Son of God
Where else can I go?
Son of God
Son of God
This is all I know…

Come like the morning sun
A sinners heart is cold
Come like the morning sun
A sinners heart is cold
And all my light is gone
All my light is gone
Come like a silver thread
A sinners heart is torn
Come like a silver thread
A sinners heart is torn
And all my pride is gone
All my pride is gone
Come like a holy ghost
A sinner stands alone
Come like a holy ghost
A sinner stand alone
And all my might is gone
All my might is gone

I don’t wanna let this go to waste
Your love, it doesn’t smell like what it tastes
If I can’t remember what it’s like
Maybe you could come back later and tell me why it’s right
I miss the echo of my lovers sound
I can’t hear it six feet underneath the ground
Take the very blessing from my mouth
And pour it out like water in the valley of my doubt
Was I singled out for some holy cause?
Have you no remorse?
Who are you to say it’s love?
I don’t wanna be loved
I just wanna be lifted up
Everyone I ever loved has passed
Almost like an evil curse or spell of pain was cast
Take away my emptiness for good
Everything I ever read about you said you could
Was I singled out for some holy cause?
Have you no remorse?
And if this loneliness is love
I don’t wanna be loved
I just wanna be lifted up
Lay me down in fields of memories
Take me to a place where all my fears can be released
Have I let you down?
With my fits of rage?
Hold me in your arms
I just wanna hear you say
I’m the one that you loved
I’m the one that you love I’m the one that you lifted up

A Light in the Dark

I grew up in the plains of Iowa
Me and my brothers could fly
Everything was so much easier than
No speck in my eye
Me and Byron went to Korea to save some weary souls
I fought for my brother and I fought for my life
Then I met a woman
She changed my mind
She made better so I made her my wife
We made a family than, settled down
I wasn’t always that great, but I did provide
10 years went by
I slipped into a coma of communism and anger
As God forgot my life
And I loved a woman
Whose faith would abide She was the stronger
She was my wife
I think of the man I used to be, the man I was
I used to be so good but I ain’t nothin’ now
I never wanted this life anyway
A wife and all these kids
I just wish they’d shut their mouths
Cause I need some answers
A light in the dark
You owe me blessings or you ain’t no God

Hold Me Down

I saw love fall like an anchor in the middle of war and peace
And I heard me cuss like a sailor and fall down on my knees
Hold me down
Cause i need you to
Hold me down
And do what you have to do
I found you not in the earthquake, the fire or the wind
You slipped in, past my defenses, with a whisper small and thin
Hold me down Cause i need you to
Hold me down
And do what you have to do
Garrison’s guard their positions with n’er a thought of flight
Now give me strength to stand my position even if I die
Hold me down Cause i need you to
Hold me down Cause i want you to
Hold me down Cause i need you to
Hold me down
And do what you have to do

I Love...

I love Your fondness for the lame
And every letter of Your name
And I love the part where you tell me I’m Yours
I’ll be Yours
I love Your pictures in the sky
And I love all Your reasons why
And I love Your patience when I won’t comply
It makes me try
I love the nature of Your reign
I love the anger You restrain
And I love Your stillness flowing o’r the planes
They can’t contain you
