PITCH DARK [mpeg-3 audio] (531Kb)

You wait in line for a newspaper
To see what's new under the sun
You sit and look at the horoscopes
And believe that you'll get lucky

Pitch darkness is around you
You'll always fall flat on your face

You're dad bought you satellite
So you can watch MTV
You're eyes are bulging out of your head
Even though you can't understand a thing

Pitch darkness is around you
You'll always fall flat on your face

You have a Bible at home
You couldn't care less what's in it
The dust on it is an inch thick
But you think that's nice

Pitch darkness is around you
You'll always fall flat on your face

Don't run things that pass away
There's no point in gaining possessions
Look at how the world is
Don't make your life even harder

COLD [mpeg-3 audio] (572 Kb)

You have ears to hear
Eyes to see
What constantly calls to you
But you still don't believe
How much longer do you want to keep waiting
You can't see the road anymore
Your steps are getting stuck
You were strong yesterday
Today you're just a shadow
Don't pretend anymore that you can't hear me

You're cold to what you hear
You're cold to what is spoken
You're cold to what weighs on you
How much longer do want me to tell you
That you're cold

So many things that show you
All the things that happened
You say that for you
They are pointless
Maybe you have something better
Have you ever thought about
Where you want to get to
The end will come
You can't reach it
Maybe it'll be too late...

SWEET AS PIE [mpeg-3 audio] (569 Kb)

Man, open your eyes
And stop your moving
Where are you running to in such a hurry
Wait and listen to me now
Don't believe that it's sweet as pie
That your pocket is full
You can have as much money as you can fit
Your life is still a torment

Come now to the One that is
The One that was and will be
So you can learn what's the Truth
The Way, The Life you'll know

Now you're afraid of death
And you can't avoid it
Try to come to the cross
And He will give you life
In the world there's good news
Don't pass it by
God is telling you now
To receive Him in your life

WISH WE'D ALL BEEN READY [mpeg-3 audio] (540 Kb)

Life was filled with guns and war
All of us got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
The children died the days grew cold
The piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready

There's no time to change your mind
The Son has come and you've been left behind

A man and wife asleep in bed
She hears a noise and turns her head - he's gone
I wish we'd all been ready
Two men walking up a hill
One disappears and one's left standing still
I wish we'd all been ready

There's no time to change your mind
The Son has come and you've been left behind

The Father spoke
The demons dined
How could you have been so blind

There's no time to change your mind
The Son has come and you've been left behind

I hope we've all been ready
(you've been left behind...)

THE LOST SHEEP [mpeg-3 audio] (533 Kb)

Now tell me which of you
If in your pasture you had
A hundred sheep and you saw
That one was lost
Wouldn't you quickly leave
The other ones on their own?
Wouldn't you run immediately
After that lost sheep?

And when you found him
You happily put him on your shoulder
And while carrying him home
You invite your friends over to celebrate
You tell them all rejoice
With me, brothers
Today I have a hundred sheep again
For I found the one that was lost

In the same way among the angels above
There is wonderful rejoicing
For an evil soul
That turns to God

THE DISH [mpeg-3 audio] (521 Kb)

People say "..he's a fool,
He's hopeless
Maybe he's lost it
Or who knows what's with him"
They tell me I'm sick
With a strange disease
Or that I've had something since I was a kid
Since I was in diapers

Listen people, listen here
Think about what you're gonna say first
You have a dish that's clean on the outside
Clean it on the inside or else you're
An insult

I tell them, I tell them I'm a Christian
They ask me, "But what kind?"
What group do I come from
'Cause my hair's too long
Everyone wants a label from me
Everyone wants a name
They tell me that that's important
I have no idea why

WORLD, WORLD [mpeg-3 audio] (512 Kb)

Cheating, cheating world
Don't test me uselessly
Through flattering invitations
To attract me to you again
When I hear your call, world
I hide my face in my hands
Uselessly you call me by name
I don't even want to answer you again

You uselessly hold out to me
The cup of pleasures
I don't want it anymore 'cause I know too well
That it's poisonous and bitter
Uselessly you show me the cup
And try to offer it to me
I remember all the bitterness
Of your cup from yesterday

I've now drunk of the grace
Of the Good Savior
World I don't want your cup
Even if I have to die

I [mpeg-3 audio] (544 Kb)

I am not more
Than a flake of snow
I am passing like the tiny crystal that snowflakes form
One second out of all time it's shaken
It's shaken, it falls and others come

I am a shadow that perishes (3X)
And that's all...

I am not more
Than a blade of grass
That the scythe cuts and the pitchfork gathers
The dirt remains and forgets it
And another blade grows and falls the same way
