JESUS IS KNOCKIN' ON THE DOOR OF YOUR HEART TODAY

ARE WE EVIL ARE WE GOOD (MATTHEW 18:6)
DROPPING RATTLESNAKES IN THE PLAYGROUND
WOULD YOU SAVE THEM IF YOU COULD (MATTHEW 18:5)

CRY TO GOD AND PLEAD THE FIFTH
WHO'S TO BLAME FOR OUR DEMISE
CLEANSE OUR HANDS FROM ALL THE LIES (1 JOHN 1:9, JAMES 4:8)

IT USED TO BE PRETTY NOW IT'S SUCH A PITY
BRINGS OUT THE ANIMALS IN ALL OF US
NO MORE SAD SOB STORIES NO MORE PREACHIN' AND A CRYIN'
FALLING LIKE SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE

DROPPING RATTLESNAKES IN THE PLAYGROUND
ARE WE EVIL ARE WE GOOD (MATTHEW 18:6)

WOULD YOU SAVE THEM IF YOU COULD (MATTHEW 18:5)

IF YOU SEE ME WOUNDED LOST ROAD SIDE BOY (ISAIAH 53:5, LUKE 10:30-37)
WOULD YOU CARRY ME (MATTHEW 11:28-30)
IF I'M A PREACHER MAN BOUND FOR GLORY (ROMANS 10:15)
WOULD YOU FOLLOW ME (ROMANS 14:19)
IF I BECAME CAPITAN HI-TOP EGO STAR (I JOHN 3:15)

IF I FALL LIKE THE APPLE FROM THE TREE (I JOHN 2:16, PROVERBS 28:25)

  Psychedelic Super Jesus
YOU SAY HE'S WEAK, HE'S A SUPER FREAK (DANIEL 7:25-26, ISAIAH 65:7)
YOU DON'T BELIEVE THAT HE CAME (II CHRONICLES 22:31, I TIMOTHY 1:20)

THAT'S THE WAY YOU SEE HIM
THAT'S THE WAY YOU SEE HIM
THAT'S THE WAY
PSYCHEDELIC SUPER JESUS

YOU GET HIGH TO REMEMBER, TAKE A DRINK TO FORGET
IT'S ALL PROFANITY (JAMES 5:12)

YOU SAY LIGHT MY FIRE FULL OF DESIRE (PROVERBS 6:27)
DON'T YOU DIE ON ME (ROMANS 1:31-32)

AND YOU'RE NOT A PRETTY SIGHT TO SEE

(THIS AIN'T 1969, THIS AIN'T SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ON A HOT DAY
AND I DON'T LOOK GOOD IN BELL BOTTOMS YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN,
NO I SURE DON'T, I DON'T WEAR TIE DYED T-SHIRTS EITHER
NO I SURE DON'T, AND I DON'T DIG THOSE FUNKY HEAD BANDS
THAT THEY USED TO WEAR,
I DON'T LIKE NONE OF THAT STUFF, YOU KNOW WHAT?
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A EUCALYPTUS TREE IS)

GOD IS LOVE THERE'S POWER IN THE BLOOD (HEBREWS 9:22)

  I Miss The Rain -
THERE'S A PLACE I'D LIKE TO GO BACK TO
TIME SEEMS TO STAND STILL
WE RAN WILD, WE HAD NO CARES
TAKE ME BACK TO THAT PLACE
I WISH THERE WAS A DOOR THAT I COULD WALK RIGHT THROUGH
TO ESCAPE THIS LIFE
I WANT TO GO BACK TO WHAT WE HAD,
TIMES WERE BETTER THEN

I MISS THE RAIN, I MISS THE RAIN
MY HEART'S BEEN DRY LIKE THE TEAR IN MY EYE
I'VE BEEN HURTING FOR YOU AGAIN
I MISS THE RAIN, I MISS THE RAIN
MY HEART'S BEEN DRY LIKE THE TEAR IN MY EYE
AND THE PAIN THAT I FEEL, LORD I MISS THE RAIN

IT KEEPS ME YOUNG WHEN I REMEMBER
IN MY MIND THE PAST STILL LIVES
I'VE HELD ON TO EVERY THOUGHT,
IT KEEPS ME SO ALIVE
THE FUTURE HOLDS NOTHING FOR ME
IF I CAN'T HOLD YOU
I USED TO TRY AND CHANGE THE WORLD,
NOW I CHANGE A LITTLE FOR MYSELF

I KNOW THERE ARE THOSE WHO ARE FAR SADDER THAN I
THEY LOST THINGS THEY CAN'T REPLACE
LIKE THE BEAUTY IN THEIR EYES
BUT THROUGH IT ALL ONE THING IS CONSTANT AND REMAINS
THE LOVE OF GOD ERASES ALL MY PAIN


 
  Don't Use Me
LAZY ALLEY MIND FILLED MY CRAZY HEAD WITH CRACK (Romans 1:28)
SPOOKY LITTLE SPINNER SO WE CALLLED UP THE JACK (Galatians 5:21)
FELT MY FEET DANGLING FROM THE 27TH FLOOR (Proverbs 13:4)
I AIN'T NO TRAIN STOPPING SUPER MAN NO MORE (Psalms 6:2)
BLACK OUT NIGHT IN PHILLY, THINGS WERE GETTING KINDA SILLY
AND THE TATTOO MOVE RIGHT UP MY ARM
AND WE KNEW WERE WERE LOSING, FUZZY EYE CITY SNOOZING (Isiah 56:10)
AND THE NEEDLE DIDN'T LEAVE A SCAR

DON'T USE ME, DON'T BLEED ME
YOU SEE ME ON MY KNEES
DON'T USE ME, DON'T BLEED ME
YOU KNOW JUST WHAT I NEED

AND THE DOOR OPENED WIDER, RYAN PITCHED ME A SLIDER
AND THE LIGHTS WHEN OUT FOR SEVEN WEEKS
THERE'S A CERTAIN KIND AROMA WHEN YOUR BODY'S CRASHING COMA
AND YOU'RE TOO TONGUE TIED TO SPEAK
REAL EASY HUSTLE, GOT A BRAIN STORM MUSCLE
BUZZING LIKE A BUMBLE BEE
ROCKY CUT ME TO THE FLOOR, I GOT KICKED BY THE HORSE
IT'S SOMETHING LIKE I'VE NEVER SEEN

GOT A FRIEND WITH A MONKEY AND DON'T YOU THINK IT'S KIND OF FUNKY
HE'S A REAL JUDAS KISS
FOUND HIM FACE DOWN IN BED,
DRIVE BY SHOOTER DEAD
TIMES LIKE THIS I WON'T MISS
WHEN HE CAME TO FROM HIS HAUNTING BLUE
I SAID A MIRACLE HAS HAPPENED TO ME (Ephesians 2:5)
FOUND MYSELF STARING IN THE EYES OF SOMEONE CARING (John 11:25)
HE SAID BOY WANT TO SET YOU FREE (John 8:32)

I COULD NEVER IMAGINE SALVATION AND COMPASSION (Acts 4:12)
OR A LIFE WITHOUT GUILT AND PAIN
JESUS CRIED DROPS OF BLOOD IN THE GARDEN WITH HIS LOVE (I Corinthians 1:18)
SO WE WOULD BELIEVE ON HIS NAME (I John 3:23)

 
  Picture Perfect
COAT HANGER ALLEY WHERE THE DOCTORS WORK CHEAP (Romans 1:29-32)
ZODIAC LOVER YOU'RE IN TOO DEEP (Psalms 106:38)
SHE SHAKES LIKE A MIXER, PUTS DOWN HER CIGARETTE (II Thessalonians 1:7)
SHE GOT THE SWEETEST SPIRIT I'VE EVER, EVER MET (II Corinthians 2:15-16)

NICOTINE ANGEL WITH HER HEAD HUNG LOW (Psalms 69:7)
FELT SHE'S BEEN SUCKED THROUGH A GARDEN HOSE (Psalms 69:14-19)
ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE FOR A LIFETIME OF PAIN (Proverbs 6:25, II Timothy 2:22)
I WATCH THE TEARS ROLL DOWN HER FACE LIKE A HEAVY RAIN

SHE DON'T GET HER PICTURE MADE NO MORE
SON'T GET HER PICTURE MADE NO MORE
IT'S BEEN A COUPLE OF MONTHS SINCE SHE WALKED OUT THE DOOR (Revelation 3:20)

SHE HAD A SMILE THAT COULD LIGHT UP THE DAY
SOMEONE'S PUT A FROWN ON HER SERVING TRAY
SHE'S ALL DRESSED IN BLCE WAITING ON THE CABLE CAR
BUT I KNOW THE LORD WON'T LET HER GO THAT FAR (Luke 15:4-6)
IF SHE WOULD COME BACK SHE'D BE FORGIVEN
RESSURECT YOUR SOUL, AND START LIVING (Collosians 1:9-14)
  Love, Money
THERE'S A WAR AROUND DISNEYLAND (PROVERBS 4:17-18)
THERE'S NO LOVE THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND
FREE FALLING THROUGH AMERICA
THEY HAVE NO FAMILY WITH GUN IN HAND
IT'S A WORLD SELF CONTAINED
WEAR NO COLORS BUT THEY HAVE A NAME
SEE IT IN THEIR EYES, RACIAL GENOCIDE, BLOOD ON THE STREET

LOVE MONEY PRISON CRIME
NO GRAFFITI DOING TIME
SAFE HOUSE WEARING SCARS
GOT TO PROVE WHO THEY ARE

HAD TO LEAVE THEIR MOTHERLAND
SANCTUARY FOR THE REBEL MAN
WHERE ARE ALL OF YOUR MACHINE GUNS STASHED
FREEDOM IS YOUR COCAINE IN THE KITCHEN TRASH
THEY LIVED IN VIOLENCE ALL THEIR LIFE (REVELATION 21:8)
STEP OVER BODIES DAY AND NIGHT (1 JOHN 3:15)
THEY HAVE A HABIT OF SPREADING FEAR
HERE IN AMERICA

WE OPEN OUR ARMS
WE OPEN OUR DOORS
WORLD ON OUR SHOULDERS
HOPE ON THE SHORES
WE HAVE STOOD STRONG
HAVE BARED OUR SOUL
THERE'S AN EPIDEMIC
MAKES MY HEART SO COLD

  Some Things Never Change
WE ALL HAVE A HEART TO SEGREGATE
IS THAT WHY SHE JUMPED FROM THE GOLDEN GATE
LIKE A STUNT GONE BAD SHE DIDN'T WALK AWAY
WHAT'S GOING ON HERE, I THINK I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY

SOME THINGS NEVER CHANGE
LIKE THE FEELINGS THAT YOU KNOW I CAN'T EXPLAIN

SHE SAID SHE COULDN'T WAIT FOR THE LIGHT TO COME
SHE HAD PLENTY OF TIME, NOW LOOK WHAT SHE HAS DONE

SHE SAID SHE FELT SICK, DADDY COULD GET HER HIGH
I BELIEVE HE GAVE HER JUST ONE LAST RIDE
THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS WORLD WE CAN'T OVERCOME
GOD HAVE MERCY ON THE THINGS HE HAS DONE

NEWS MAN SAY THERE'S RIOTING IN THE STREETS
A TEN YEAR OLD BOY HAS A SMOKING GUN AT HIS FEET
CAROL ANN CLIMBED TO THE TOP OF THE BRIDGE FLYING HIGH
FELT HER SOUL VANDALIZED, SO SHE TOOK HER LAST DIVE

HOMICIDE, SUICIDE, OUR HEROES BECOME SO WEAK
POVERY, BENDED KNEE, LOVE IS WHAT YOU NEED
DRUG ABUSE, NO EXCUSE, CAUSE WE KNOW THE FACTS
I KNOW IT'S HARD CAUSE THEY TRY TO BREAK YOUR BACK

I BELIEVE IN INCARNATION, VIRGIN BIRTH AND JUBILATION
I BEILVE IN RESTORATION, ETERNAL LIFE AND CELEBRATION
SPIRIT FILLED INTOXICATION, IT IS NOT IMAGINATION
GENESIS AND REVELATION, PRAY FOR HIS ACCELERATION
DON'T BELIEVE IN SUFFOCATION,
CAN'T YOU HEAR MY DEMONSTRATION
NOT BRAINWASHED INDOCTRINATION,
GIVE US STRENGTH IN TRIBULATION
KNOWS OUR THOUGHTS AND SITUATIONS,
THERE'S ONE HOPE AND ONE SALVATION
IT IS FOR OUR GENERATION,
GOD IS HIGH FOR EXALTATION
  Goodbye
SHE COMES TO ME IN MY DREAMS,
DANCING ON THE STORMY SEAS
THE LIGHT TO GUIDE MY WAY
THERE WAS SORROW IN MY MIND,
SHE HELPED ME TO FIND
MY WAY TO THE PEARLY GATES

SHE'S HERE TO SAY
IT'S NOT THE SAME AS YESTERDAY
YOU CAN CHANGE AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ALONE
SHE'S HERE TO SAY
THERE'S A BETTER WAY
IF YOU'LL OPEN YOUR HEART

GOODBYE TO THE LIFE THAT BLINDED ME
HELLO TO THE ONE WHO SAVED ME

THERE'S ROOM FOR EVERYONE WHO LISTENS
THERE'S A HEAVEN FOR THOSE WHO ARE WISHING
WHEN I GET THAT BROKEN KIND OF FEELING
I HAVE A FRIEND I CAN BELIEVE IN

SHE'S HERE TO SAY IT'S NOT THE SAME AS YESTERDAY
YOU CAN CHANGE AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE ALONE
SHE'S HERE TO SAY THERE'S A BETTER WAY
IF YOU'LL OPEN YOUR HEART

GOODBY TO THE LIFE THAT BLINDED ME
HELLO TO THE ONE WHO SAVED ME
