My Soul is Rising

My Soul is Rising
too long tripping over shadows
too long stumbling in fear
too long listening to voices
the lies have been ringing in my ear
My soul is rising with the sun 2x
now my spirit is awakened
got the devil on the run
too long worrying bout tomorrow
too long dwelling in the past
too long stressing over money
and trying to make each dollar last
My soul is rising with the sun 2x
now my spirit is awakened
got the devil on the run
oh there's gonna be some changes
oh there's gonna be some changes
round here
now my spirit has awakened
and my soul is rising with the sun
too long making my excuses
too long holding onto pain
to long hiding in the desert
listening to myself complain
My soul is rising with the sun 2x
now my spirit is awakened
got the devil on the run
My Soul is Rising x2
With the Sun

More Than Enough

More Than Enough
When I'm cold you clothe me with the sun
When I thirst you pour out your rain
When I hunger you find ways to feed my soul
You're more than enough .... For me
When I'm lost it's you that I will find
When I stumble it’s right into your arms
when I forget who I am I'll see you in the mirror
I like the story of the feeding five thousand
Everybody had their fill and there was so much left over
When I hate it's you that will forgive
when I'm guilty you carry all my shame
when I'm broken you fill in the missing pieces

Mustard Seed

Mustard Seed
it was only a mustard seed that I found
a tiny mustard laying there on the ground
and I used whatever could be found
And I sowed that seed right here
under the ground
then the rain began to fall
and I saw some green
breaking through earth’s wall (Hmmm)
and my mustard tree was soon quite tall
and I wondered To myself
would my garden be too small
it was only a mustard seed that I found
a tiny mustard laying there on the ground
that something so small would richly abound
I'm losing count of all the mustard trees
around (here)
Solo(s)
get your hands on a mustard seed
find some good soil then proceed
step away and let the season intercede
and soon you’ll have all the mustard
you'll ever need
Break
All You Need X2
All You Need is a Mustard Seed X4
Ad lib...
All You Need

River Child

River Child
when you got no roots you get blown around
like tumbleweed in an old ghost town
you pray for a mercy wind to carry you down
someplace by the river
you can only run for so long
trying to forget where you come from
And then you hear that river song?
Calling you home to the river
cause you're a river child but your spirits dry
the river feels your pain and hears your cry
and it knows that your soul will surely die
if you don't get back to the river
if the water be wild or it be still
go right in and drink your fill
and let that river take you where it will
you'll come alive in the river
let that river take you where ever it will
you were born in the river

I Pray

I Pray
It don't take much for me to get in trouble
say something I will regret
I've got a real sharp tongue It can wound anyone
I struggle to forgive and forget
so I pray (I Pray) for some mercy
and through grace my eyes could see
I pray for the day when I can love somebody
the way that you love me
yeah, the way that you love me (I pray yeah)
It don't take much for me to judge a brother
I can make sinner out of a saint
but when I condemn the man I don't understand
I reveal more of my own complaint
It don't make much for me to gossip and slander
and defame the name of some poor child
yeah I'm shallow and I'm weak I got a real mean streak
there's a longer list that you could compile
It don't take much for me to be self righteous
and look down my nose at everyone
but I'm a poor disguise for the holy and wise
a mere candle compared to the sun

I've Been Knockin'

I’ve Been Knockin
(Ooooh Knock Knock)
I've been knocking, knocking on that door
it goes unanswered like so many times before
I know they hear me but they ignore me
as if I don't exist in the world that they live in
but I keep knocking, won't somebody let me in
I met Jesus walking down my road
we got to talking about this heavy load
He done told me the same old story
that he'd been knocking and no one let the good man in
don't feel so bad now the company I'm in
solo
So I got to thinking this was not the place to be
and maybe there were others feeling just a bit like me
so we threw a party inviting Jesus and celebrating
like we'd never done before
if you come a knocking there's always room for one more
if you come a knocking there's always room for one more
Knock Knock.....
Oooh... Knock Knock x 4
Won’t you come a knockin
Oooh... Knock Knock
Won’t you come a knockin

Give it All Up

Give it All Up
Bring those heavy burdens
and lay them at my feet
and sit yourself down here
on my mercy seat
and let your weary soul
come and lean on me
you can stay here forever
I so love your company
you were never meant to be alone
or try to make it in this world all on your own
for you ….there ain't nothing that I wouldn't do
for you…. every promise I will see it through
I will lay it all down, my life and my crown
I give it all up (x2)
for you
I understand rejection
to be tainted with lies
rarely feeling accepted
often despised
the ones that we love
seem to hurt us more than others
our sisters our brothers
our fathers our mothers
but you were never meant to be alone
or try to make it in this world all on your own
Ch
well before the breaking of the dawn
I had my eye on you
waiting for the day that you were born
so I could spend the rest of my days (x2)
with you

Who's Gonna Stand

Who's Gonna Stand
who's gonna stand with me on this bridge tonight
I'm calling out to brother and sister to stand up and fight
if there's one thing from history we should have learned
that if we don’t make this stand together this bridge may burn
who’s gonna stand
who’s gonna stand
who’s gonna stand
with me (here) tonight
some say that I be crazy for misreading the signs
can’t you hear the beating of the drums from the enemy lines
the time for lofty words and shaking fists has come and gone
take up your sword and shield for the battle lines have been drawn
for all your sons and all your daughters
for all that you hold dear
would you lay your life down
or lock your doors and hide away in fear
who's gonna stand with me on this bridge tonight
I swear you will regret the day you didn't stand and fight
for when we stand together we be more than flesh and bone
when our spirits are united we don't have to stand alone

You Got Wings

You Got Wings
just as clouds precede the rain
where there's trouble there will soon be pain
but if you run or try to hide away
you will only suffer without the gain
for a seed to grow it first must die
soon it's breaking through to touch the sky
As you learn to wait through the longest night
you'll begin to see in a whole new light
and that you got wings…
to fly
some say they're free while their minds are bound
so xxx lost in religion they can't be found
but you're breaking loose from the tightly wound
and you're finding your way on Holy Ground
you got wings…
to fly
Wings...
Wings...
Wings... to Fly...
deep in your soul you know this song
when you think you are weak you are really strong
and guilt and shame well they just don't belong
keep your eyes on Him and you can't go wrong
you got wings…
to fly
Break:
Ad lib:
Fly High… wings…
Learn to Wait through the longest night
Begin to See in a whole new light
You Got it 4x
Fly..... x4

I Am a Tree
I am a tree high up on a mountain
I am a tree high up on a mountain
waiting for the wind to blow through me
waiting for the wind to blow through me
I am rock high up on a mountain
I am a rock way up on a mountain
I'm waiting for the wind to move my soul
I'm waiting for the wind to move my soul
Cause I have a song, I have a song
and it's been too long inside of me
I got the rhythm and melody
come on wind won't you blow through me
I am a boat way out on the ocean
I am a boat way out on the ocean
waiting for the wind to fill my sails
waiting for the wind to fill my sails
I am a bird nestled in the tree tops
I am a bird high up on the tree tops
waiting for the wind to carry me
waiting for the wind to carry me
I am a child resting with my father
I am a child resting with my father
waiting for the wind to carry me
waiting for the wind to carry me
