untitled

Speak, speak ye holy ones with understanding
And sing ye holy ones with liberation
push back the darkness
reveal the Son

And live, live ye holy ones in righteousness and love
'Til Kingdom come
in all His might
the victory's won

Psalm 46

This is a song I wrote inspired by current
events and Psalm 46


Why do you fear, you who hope in the Lord?
These are the signs of His coming.
Walls fall down of great cities.
Great towers fall of the heathen.

Though these mountains are cast in sea.
I know my present and future is thee.
When I rise to the wailing of hell.
I will run to the Fortress to dwell.

My God. You are with us. (Voice 2)

You move with indignation.
The kingdoms here are shaken.
Oh the desolation!
The men of war are quaking.
Hear how they plead for peace.
You promised judgement.

Be still and know
that I, am, God
I will be exalted! I will be exalted! (2xs)

Among the nations, in the earth
the King who's coming, the last, the first (2xs)

My God. You are with us. (Voice 2)

Burning for Love - a song

inspired by my brother meeting his fiance
...definitely not one of the nicest things I've written, and it's incomplete, but...

tattoos up her arms piercings in her face
she's searching for the one that no one can replace--
and he says she's beautiful

what lies had led her there, homeless unaware
she's always bringing on these random love affairs
and she says she's beautiful

sex on the ledge, sex on the edge
she tells you all her partners, you should have asked her legs
and they think she's beautiful

This world's not yours
nor your body
The time's not yours
it's unwinding
and when it ends
will you be friends
or somewhere burning

burning for love, burning for love

(added this verse after I recorded it, ha!)
he looked in her eyes, he never saw the time
just took her in to see, if sex was on her mind
and he thinks she's beautiful

This world's not yours
nor your body
The time's not yours
it's unwinding
and when it ends
will you be friends
or somewhere burning

burning for love, burning for love
burning for love, burning for love,
burning for love

Sorry about the muttering. I didn't want my brother to hear me:)

Cover Me with Your Love - a song

Cover me, cover me with your love,
shelter me from above,
Cover me.

Cover me, shield me from evil thoughts,
mourning all that was lost,
Cover me.

Chorus: Wherever it ends. Wherever it ends.
May our hearts be closer to God.
Wherever it ends. Wherever it ends.
May our lives bring glory to God.

Cover me, deliver me from myself',
trusting something else,
Cover me.

Cover me, lead me into your rest,
carry me through the test,
Cover me.

Chorus: Wherever it ends. Wherever it ends.
May our hearts be closer to God.
Wherever it ends. Wherever it ends.
May our lives bring glory to God.

We're not fighting anymore.
Just don't leave us to endure.
All the mess we've made alone...

Cover me, cover me with your love,
marry earth and above,
Cover me.
