Lyric:
Oh, it's not hard to know what you're thinking
When you look down on me now
Your trance of love is seeking
Turn this world around

But in my state of blind confusion
No God can pull me out
And I see your love is willing
Turn me inside out

And then I see you there
(See you there)
The lonely tears I cry
(Tears I cry)
I wish they'd release me

It's in despair that I find faith
Summon the night to bow down today
If ignorance is bliss
Would you save me from myself?

And then I see you there
You with your arms open wide and you try to embrace me
These lonely tears I cry
They keep me in chains and I wish they'd release me
Cold is the night but
Colder still is the heart made of stone, turned from clay
And if you follow me
You'll see all the black, all the white fade to grey

Fade to grey
Fade to grey

And then I see you there
With your arms open wide and you try to embrace me
These lonely tears I cry
They keep me in chains and I wish they'd release me
Cold is the night but
Colder still is the heart made of stone, turned from clay
And if you follow me
You'll see all the black, all the white fade to grey
(See there)
(See you there)

And then I see you there
With your arms open wide and you try to embrace me
(See you there)
These lonely tears I cry
They keep me in chains and I wish they'd release me
(See you there)
Cold is the night but
Colder still is the heart made of stone, turned from clay
And if you follow me
You'll see all the black, all the white fade to grey

There Is A River - Lyrics - Good Monsters - Jars Of Clay

Title: There Is A River
Album: Good Monsters
Artist: Jars Of Clay
Composer(s): Ron Aniello, Dan Haseltine, Charlie Lowell, Steve Mason, Matt Odmark

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
There is a river that washes you clean
There is a tree that marks the places you've been
Blood that was spilled, although not your own

For all of your tears
Are the wages for things you've done
And all of those nights
Spent alone in the darkness of your mind

Give it up, let go
These are the things
You were never meant to shoulder

There is a river that washes you clean
There is a tree that marks the places you've been
Blood that was spilled, although not your own
For all of your tears, love will atone

So give up the right
To control the waves that empty at your life
Above wild skies
Are the rays that break the shadows we design

Give it up, let go
These are the things
You were never meant to shoulder
Give it up, let go

There is a river that washes you clean
There is a tree that marks the places you've been
Blood that was spilled, although not your own
For all of these things, love will atone

I know the world can turn in different ways
Most of the time we're simply hanging on
And under the signs of how we all behave
We might find the place where we belong

There is a river that washes you clean
And there is a tree that marks the places you've been
Blood that was spilled, although not your own
For all of these things, love will atone
For all of those nights, you cried all alone
For all of your tears, love will atone

You name me, who am I?
That I should company with something so divine?
Mercy waits, overjoyed prospect of finding, freeing
Freeing me

Love is the thing this time I'm sure
And I couldn't need you more now
The way that you saw things were so pure
Overjoyed

You name me, entertain
Thoughts of peace can overcome anything
Mirror spins, wicked tales, here lies reflections of
Deceptions of

And I couldn't need you more now
The way that you saw things were so pure
Overjoyed

Missing the me from you, you gave to me
I don't like the one I have created today
Crossing nameless from the one I've earned
To be the one, the one you gave to me

You name me, name me
Finding, freeing me

Love is the thing this time I'm sure
And I couldn't need you more now

If I Stand - Lyrics - Jars Of Clay

Title: If I Stand
Artist: Jars Of Clay
Composer(s): Steven Robert Cudworth, Richard Mullins

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
There's more that rises in the morning than the sun
And more that shines in the night than just the moon
There's more than just this fire here that keeps me warm
In a shelter that is larger than this room

And there's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiments
And a music higher than the songs that I can sing
Stuff of Earth competes for the allegiance
I owe only to the Giver of all good things

So if I stand let me stand on the promise, You will pull me through
And if I can't, let me fall on the grace that first brought me to You
So if I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home

There's more that dances on the prairies than the wind
And more that pulses in the ocean than the tide
There's a love that's fiercer than the love between friends
More gentle than a mother's when her baby's at her side

And there's a loyalty that's deeper than mere sentiments
And a music higher than the songs that I can sing
The stuff of Earth competes for the allegence
I owe only to the Giver of all good things

So if I stand let me stand on the promise that You will pull me through
And if I can't, let me fall on the grace that first brought me to You
And if I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs
And if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home

So if I stand let me stand on the promise, You will pull me through
And if I can't, let me fall on the grace that first brought me to You
And if I sing let me sing for the joy that has born in me these songs
But if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for his home
But if I weep let it be as a man who is longing for home

Tea And Sympathy - Lyrics - Much Afraid - Jars Of Clay

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Fare thee well
Trade in all our words for tea and sympathy
Wonder why we tried, for things that could never be
Play our heart's lament, like an unrehearsed symphony

Not intent
To leave this castle full of empty rooms
Our love the captive in the tower never rescued
And all the victory songs seem to be playing out of tune

'Cause it's not the way that it has to be
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy, no
No, it's not the way that it has to be

You begin
And all your words fall to the floor and break like China cups
And the waitress grabs a broom and tries to sweep them up
I reach for my tea and slowly drink in

'Cause it's not the way that it has to be
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy, no
And it's not the way that it has to be
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy

Don't trade
Don't trade
Don't trade
Don't trade

Fare thee well
Words, the bag of leaves that fill my head
I could taste the bitterness, call the waitress instead
'Cause she holds the answer
Smiles and asks,"One teaspoon or two?"

'Cause it's not the way that it has to be
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy, no
No, it's not the way that it has to be
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy

It's not the way that it has to be
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy, no
'Cause it's not the way that it has to be
Don't trade our love for tea and sympathy

Don't trade us for tea and sympathy
Don't trade us for tea and sympathy
We can work it out
Don't trade us for tea and sympathy
We can work it out
We can work it out

Without Water - Lyrics - Candiria

Title: Without Water
Artist: Candiria
Composer(s): Carley Gervais, John La Macchia, Michael Macivor, Eric Matthews, Kenneth Schalk

Lyric:
Check the vertical damages
We'll wrap you up in bandages, for real
My heart is made of flesh my tongue of steel
Irradicating the nervous system

Spinal cord retraction head lock
We flowin' rugged and nappy like Jamaican dreadlocks
Eclectic episodes these cat's is maulin' on blocks
And I'll have you spinnin' like a dozen of beers crawlin' on rocks

And ya state of self corrodes, it's like I told you before
You can't walk through the profits without livin' the raw
Knockin' on doors sometimes I had to sleep on the floor
With nothin' but steady oxygen and spit flows for dinner

We'd be burnin' in the summer freezin' in the winter
We'd be rockin' the latest flip flops to avoid the wooden splinters
From the depths of the grimy earth until I reach the heavenly borders
From the depths of the grimy earth like four dogs without water

And yo I peeped it from the get
I saw them coming through peripheral lenses
Military action for my defenses
Take ya, chances with these dogs and this fortified gate

And if you think ya rhymes are phat you better gain some weight
Sleep in my wounds crawl through
Attend to the hives the dragons shall elude
Slave speak your foundations

Words that guide dwell within
Without water left of kin dry
Inflammatory languages serpents from inside setting
Blind with no advantages the roots evolve into

The wasted idle talk supposing dead
Selfish cursed is the womb that lies infested
Cracked bones inflicted
Secreting all the parts of thine

Search for purpose weighs
Aim the arrows at this heart of mine
Dehydrated left to die
Man of earth scheduled to expire

Smothered by desires
Where's my bretheren I hold
You close to my heart more precious than gold
Friend I will build you up

Drink this breath of mine jars of clay
Without water quench the blaze drench
Coma's comin' through with service and a smile reaction
I told you on beyond reasonable

The first song was faction
At the time the death was comfortable
Left to die in a ditch at the time my breath was combustible
So my scars would stitch

Slow bleed, reflections of black gloves on a fist
Unleash the hounds if they try to resist
The heart reveals the man to himself
The sharks shall conceal the vibrant man from himself

Still tempted by the palaces of the earth symptoms of a devil
Stones that cast a shadow spitting flesh with words
Black hole yearning the flesh still
Now burning appetite of the vermin shall persuade

When I go, don't cry for me
In my Father's arms, I'll be
And wounds this world left on my soul
Will all be healed and I'll be whole

Sun and moon will be replaced
With the light of Jesus' face
And I will be not be ashamed
For my Savior knows my name

It don't matter where you bury me
I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears, be washed away

Gold and silver blind the eye
Temporary riches lie
Come and eat from Heaven's store
Come and drink and thirst no more

'Cos it don't matter where you bury me
I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears, be washed away

So weep not from me, my friends
When my time below does end
For my life belongs to Him
Who will raise the dead again

It don't matter where you bury me

It don't matter where I lay
All my tears, be washed away

It don't matter

Lyric:
It took a lot to turn away
Blood and water from one side
It took Your eyes to stare me down
It took the truth to set me free
To set me free

Looking for a place to hide
Waiting for the wind to rise
My soul is waiting
Looking for a place to hide
I need a little peace tonight

Take me higher than the sun
Yeah, You are the only one
Take me higher than the sun
Yeah, yeah

Around the ceiling of the heart
Is where we feel the things
That send us away
To where the blind can see the stars
So do you see the stars
Do you see the stars?

Looking for a place to hide
I need a little peace tonight

Take me higher than the sun
Yeah, You are the only one
Take me higher than the sun
Yeah, yeah

Take me higher than the sun
Yeah, You are the only one
And You are the only one

Take me higher than the sun, yeah
Take me higher than the sun
Take me higher than the sun
Yeah, You are the only one

You are the only one
You are the only one
Higher than the sun

Take me higher than the sun
You are the only one
Take me higher than the sun

Rose Colored Stained Glass Windows - Lyrics - Jars Of Clay

Artist: Jars Of Clay
Composer(s): Bob Hartman

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Another sleepy Sunday, safe within the walls
Outside a dying world in desperation calls
But no one hears the cries or knows what they're about
The doors are locked within or is it from without

Looking through rose colored stained glass windows
Never allowing the world to come in
Seeing no evil and feeling no pain
Making the light as it come from within, so dim, so dim

Out on your doorstep lay the masses in decay
Ignore them long enough, maybe, they'll go away
When you have so much you think, you have so much to lose
You think you have no lack when you're really destitute

Looking through rose colored stained glass windows
Never allowing the world to come in
Seeing no evil and feeling no pain
Making the light as it comes from within, so dim, so dim

Looking through rose colored stained glass windows
Never allowing the world to come in
Seeing no evil and feeling no pain
Making the light as it comes from within, so dim, so dim

Pa rum pa pum pum
A newborn king to see

So, to honor Him

I am a poor boy too
Pa rum pa pum pum
I have no gifts to bring
Pa rum pa pum pum

That's fit to give a king
Pa rum pa pum pum
Rum pa pum pum
Rum pa pum pum

Shall I play for you
Pa rum pa pum pum
On my drum?

Mary nodded
Pa rum pa pum pum
The ox and lamb kept time
Pa rum pa pum pum
I played my drum for Him
Pa rum pa pum pum

I played my best for Him
Pa rum pa pum pum
Rum pa pum pum
Rum pa pum pum

Then, He smiled at me

On my, on my drum

Lyric:
You're cold that way
And that's why you say
The things that you say
You can't attract
The things that you lack
You're trying in vain

It seems it's always the crazy times
You find you'll wake up and realize
It takes more than your saline eyes
To make things right

You spiral down
You've broken your crown
You don't feel like a queen
You've seen the proof
But you're still crying wolf
You'll never believe

It seems it's always the crazy times
You find you'll wake up and realize
It takes more than your saline eyes
To make things right

You try to climb a broken ladder
Grip the missing rungs and fall
Down, down, down, down
Seems sometime ago you said
This wouldn't last
And now you sit here crying

Beside your bed
You feel left for dead
You'll kneel in the dark

It takes more than your saline eyes
To make things right
It seems it's always the crazy times
You find you'll wake up and realize
It takes more than your saline eyes
To make things right

Yeah, I'm on my way back home

Don't give up until you drink from the silver cup
She'll never take you down or give you up
You'll never know until you try

Lyric:
God, I admit I haven't changed
Playing card houses still covering my landscape
I never expected you to stay
When I'm grabbing for these crumbs and cold loose change

I feel your grace come running over every road
I love the way you're calling overflow
I feel your grace come running over every road
Break the floodgates down and carry all

God, I admit that I've loved these chains
And crawling around this cage sometimes has its advantages
I know someday this could get old
And I'll need your healing water to find my home

I feel your grace come running over every road
I love the way you're calling overflow
I feel your grace come running over every road
Break the floodgates down and carry all
Down down down down down

I feel your grace come running over every road
I love the way you're calling overflow
I feel your grace come running over every road
Break the floodgates down and carry all

I feel your grace come running over every road
I love the way you're calling overflow
I feel your grace come running over every road

Legend Of Wooley Swamp - Lyrics - Charlie Daniels Band

Title: Legend Of Wooley Swamp
Artist: Charlie Daniels Band
Composer(s): T Digregorio, C Hayward, T Crain, Charlie Daniels, F Edwards, J Marshall

Lyric:
Well, if you ever go back into Wooley Swamp
Well, you better not go at night
There's things out there in the middle of them woods
That make a strong man die from fright
Things that crawl and things that fly
And things that creep around on the ground
And they say the ghost of Lucius Clay
Gets up and he walks around

But I couldn't believe it
I just had to find out for myself
And I couldn't conceive it
'Cause I never would have listened to nobody else
And I couldn't believe it
I just had to find out for myself
There's some things in this world
You just can't explain

The old man lived in the Wooley Swamp
Way back in Booger Woods
He never did do a lot of harm in the world
But he never did do no good
People didn't think too much of him
They all thought he acted funny
The old man didn't care about people anyway
All he cared about was his money

He'd stuff it all down in mason jars
And he'd bury it all around
And on certain nights if the moon was right
He'd dig it up out of the ground
He'd pour it all out on the floor of his shack
And run his fingers through it
Yeah, Lucius Clay was a greedy old man
And that's all that there was to it

But I couldn't believe it
I just had to find out for myself
And I couldn't conceive it
'Cause I never would have listened to nobody else
And I couldn't believe it
I just had to find out for myself
There's some things in this world
You just can't explain

The cable boys was white trash
They lived over on Carver's Creek
They were mean as a snake and sneaky as a cat
And belligerent when they'd speak
One night the oldest brother said
"Y'all meet me at the Wooley Swamp later
We'll take old Lucius's money
And we'll feed him to the alligators"

They found the old man out in the back
With a shovel in his hand
Thirteen rusty mason jars
Was just dug up out of the sand
And they all went crazy and they beat the old man
And they picked him up off of the ground
Threw him in the swamp and stood there and laughed
As the black water sucked him down

Then they turned around and went back to the shack
And picked up the money and ran
They hadn't gone no where when they realized
They were running in quicksand
And they struggled and they screamed
But they couldn't get away and just before they went under
They could hear that old man laughing
In a voice as loud as thunder

And that's been fifty years ago
And you can go by there yet
There's a spot in the yard in the back of that shack
Where the ground is always wet
And on summer nights, if the moon is right
Down by the that dark footpath
You can hear three young men screaming
You can hear one old man laugh.

Well, if you ever go back into Wooley Swamp
Well, you better not go at night
There's things out there in the middle of them woods
That make a strong man die from fright
Things that crawl and things that fly
And things that creep around on the ground
And they say the ghost of Lucius Clay
Gets up and he walks around

But I couldn't believe it
I just had to find out for myself
And I couldn't conceive it
'Cause I never would have listened to nobody else

Well, if you ever go back into Wooley Swamp
Well, you better not go at night
There's things out there in the middle of them woods
That make a strong man die from fright
Things that crawl and things that fly
And things that creep around on the ground
And they say the ghost of Lucius Clay
Gets up and he walks around

But I couldn't believe it
I just had to find out for myself
And I couldn't conceive it
'Cause I never would have listened to nobody else
And I couldn't believe it
I just had to find out for myself
There's some things in this world
You just can't explain

There's some things in this world
You just can't explain
