Grizzly Adams Did Have A Beard
Yes, we all fall short,
That's no excuse to live that low.
Men won't succeed with their eyes blind, hands tied.
Wet cement meets the scorching sun,
But it's okay because you've been filing your teeth for weeks.
You'll be fine so you say, you say,
Since you've carrying all this weight,
I reached out my hand for help, you pushed me away.
With a sinister stare he fell to the floor
And formed to his natural state,
Preyed on the man with a gun in his right, life in his left.
As the coward composed his piece tonight,
Lock jawed and frail the audience felt,
A need to adhere, to his towering lecture.
SAVE US.
Are these the men who are exploiting you?
Slandering the name of the Lord which we belong?
Oh, the disguise we portray we become.
THIS IS THE CALLING OF THE BEARS
Big shoulders won't stand a chance to a boy that's been fed by the KING.
Disregard the Formula
Users frequent this place. Take root.
It will take overgrowth to hold this fake down.
Feed what you intend to grow.
Starve the hopeless.
We built the fire that burned our escape,
But we sailed the ship that prevailed the storm.
We built the fire that burned our escape,
But we sailed the ship that prevailed the storm.
Dissect what you claim as life,
Give birth to an improved mirror image.
Dissect what you claim as life,
Give birth to an improved mirror image.
You become what you sell as yourself.
But you've gone about it all wrong.
(You have become someone else)
The boutique has a vast array.
(Of faces)
They'll suit you oh-so-well.
One size fits all, they claim.
One size fits all.
Don't let them tell you different.
One size fits all. One size fits all.
It has become so attractive. Ten paces sum to three,
Ignorant cares hold their own in a desolate landscape.
Take the scraps and build up something strong.
Momentum is hard to break,
In the case that direction is my only obstacle.
I'm lost in the search for myself.
I lie down and sleep.
I wake up again, because the LORD sustains me.
I will sleep in peace, for I dwell in safety.
I lie down and sleep.
I wake up again, because the LORD sustains me.
I will sleep in peace, for I dwell in safety.
Dress the part, whichever fits you best.
But don't be surprised to find,
that this charade will hardly reflect what's inside.
Dress the part, whichever fits you best.
But don't be surprised to find,
that this charade will hardly reflect what's inside.
Psalm 150
(Jeremiah 24:7)
I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD. They will be my people, and I will be their God, for they will return to me with all their heart.
(Acts 2:25-28)
25 David said about him: "'I saw the Lord always before me. Because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.
26 Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will live in hope,
27 because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.
28 You have made known to me the paths of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence.' "
(Philippians 2:5-11)
5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself
and became obedient to death—even death on a cross! 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
(Philippians 2:12-16a)
Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.
Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life...
(Psalm 150)
1 Praise the LORD. Praise God in His sanctuary; praise Him in His mighty heavens.
2 Praise Him for His acts of power; praise Him for His surpassing greatness.
3 Praise Him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise Him with the Harp and Lyre.
The World Doesn't Revolve Around You, It Revolves Around the Sun
Two from the Twelve, still thousands followed!
And he cried "Stranger, Stranger!" 1-2-3 [times],
"I'm not the man you're looking for."
From the roost a story of betrayal; thorn meets brow,
It was sparked by a kiss.
When I say this I mean it, but it could never stand as truth,
This is it, this time... next time. Just watch and see.
Show me your face, give me something tangible.
Come down from there. Come down from there.
We are aiming to destroy.
Meaning without passion.
Movement without cause.
Don't try to hide your guilty conscience,
Your smile is starting to fade and your eyes,
(You're loosing your integrity)
Are bleeding to white.
What hopes may bring,
Never settled well with me.
(Contained in fright will make a bold statement)
Thought. Action. Result.
So place your steps to the path must be pleasing to the eye.
Tucked into this silly scenery,
It's now the stage for this world's unscripted performance.
One moment of indecision and it's stuck on repeat.
Don't leave me now.
We know what doubting does to some,
But since you're here,
We might as well chat for a while.
Keep this conversation flowing,
Keep this conversation flowing!
My justifications are transparent to these things You already know,
And this blanket covers it.
Deal with the traitors.
Two from the Twelve were revealed.
Yet the King was kind in his passing.
Forgiven.
Cowboy J, The Beatnik
Like a man at sea the current points north.
I hope I get to land. (I hope I get to land)
This boat is full of disease;
This dirt is escaping me.
With defeat on my shoulders.
We can repair this foundation
That was torn by the thieves and whores.
Prepare these walls for the floods that lie ahead.
We can repair this foundation
That was torn by the thieves and whores.
They're strong and take down the weak.
Stand firm in this fort built by the hands of mercy.
They will call you back,
Voices like angels; faces like children.
Bare Knuckles Meet the Source of the Problem
I've been walking in circles for weeks,
But I don't recognize this scenery.
And my pace is lost with rough terrain.
It's a clear shot -In a blind world,
To say if we'll ever make it back,
Or make it through to make a way.
But I'm not giving up, not just yet,
I will not give in.
It hurts to walk on jagged rocks
when we've been planning for the garden.
Fatigue sets in as panic returns. Stand firm.
Standing firm. Where does my mind meet a discontinued thought?
I continue to leak out,
Understanding is gone. (Matthew 13:13)
And so leads on to yield structural decay:
Standing still.
Life must intersect more life.
It has taken me all I have.
I must apologize for my routine neglect.
I want to be proven Faithful,
But is desire contained within this shell?
From where I stand,
It seems to be a long walk to where You are,
I refuse to make a god of my own.
If it's not to much to ask,
Please chase me out of here,
Please make me BOLD.
And He left it up to me so we burned it down.
Field and all became a kind gray ash.
Lit by the glow,
This marks a new beginning.
It's my Exodus.
I refuse to make a God of my own.
So don't leave till I return.
This is the day, Rejoice, Rejoice, Rejoice.
Judas Visits Temptation Island
All For the kingdom.
Yeah, they really had their cheap shots,
And I bite my tongue just to survive.
Poke-and-make-fun while you still can,
This face won't be easy to forget,
In the potters field the corps still swings.
Thank you for beating me in the contest against myself.
Isn't it obvious who the loser is?
Who the loser is,
Who the loser is,
Who the loser is.
I'll call you when I'm done being number one.
Dare I say brilliant yet i live so pitifully.
I was given my share now its gone.
This estate was divided.
Famine, (Famine), Famine.
I've ate with the best,
Now I'm fed with the pigs.
The purest of kin have the most selfish intentions.
Jealousy, Jealousy.
This face wont be easy to forget.
Thanks a lot for the tour guide,
Now I know my way out.
From here it seems like forever,
Until we get home.
Thirty silver coins for eternity. Eternity.
God Bless!!!
