WAVES
Resurrection Band - 20 YEARS LIVE - © 1992
We see wave after wave of people in the street Playing their songs, but missing the beat People, oh people why can't you understand? Fools with no disguises and love so close at hand When will you begin to recieve the love of God? Jesus wants to touch you, enfold you with his love Look into your life and tell me what you see Don't you realize what He offers is for free? I know that there's a heaven and soon I'll be there No lying, no crying, no fear If you wanna join us, you can come along With His blood He bought you and to Him you'll belong...come along We see wave after wave of sailors everyday Drowning in the surf of their sorrow We're reachin' out to you, pointing to the way He'll give you a better tomorrow And those of our friends, who know the King is your King Keep shinin' till we meet again Shinin' till we meet again

I hear the gunfire, see the blood run, feel the rage I see a black man, see a coloured man, in a cage The sweat of miners, digging diamonds, digging graves To feed the bossman, to feed his family, to feed his slaves Men are cursing, women praying, for release But when a white man killsone of "them" no one sees From Capetown, to Pretoria, to Johannesburg there is a crying Of people dying, that can be heard I hear the gunfire, see the blood run, smell the fear You lock your minds up, shut the curtains, you close your ears Forget the black man, neglect his baby, ignore his hell We need apartheid to keep the animal in his cell You sweep the pavement, shine the buildings, display the maid You say "republic", I say blind man, it's a cage God makes the color, but the color doesn't make you God And in the judgement, He will remember the ones you robbed Without the Lord's love, this injustice will prevail Until Jesus is the only Master, we'll never break the bars of jail
Attention
Resurrection Band - 20 YEARS LIVE - © 1992
Out on the edge of the universe where no mortals dare to go There from above the crimson clouds He watches down below His eyes are blazing flames of fire, His voice a thundering roar The nations shudder at the sound, they beg to hear no more Attention - stand on your feet Attention - listen to me A trillion stars an planets were born at His command The keys to life and judgement are held within His hand Demons cringe and tremble, they fear to hear His Name The rise and fall of kingdom is left within His wake Lightning flashes round His hand, the veil is torn in two Nothing can resist His power, even death is doomed And yet He stoops to shelter those who call His Name That is why He suffered, and that is why He came Attention - stand on your feet Attention - you can be free

In the dead of night, like the lightning bright, You'll come In the eyes of my heart, where You silenced the dark, I know You'll come As the planets dance around the sun I rejoice in the Risen One You are the Lord, the love of my life I wait for You in the morning light Silence stands with open hands hushed before the King Joy believes and happily praises as she sings Wonder sits in open fields beholding all You made Desire seeks Your colours, each and every shade Whatever one could ask of faith, obedience will give Together all express the love in hearts where Jesus lives
Players

She left me strangely not lingering like before Her face sad but sure - I stopped her at the door Made some empty promises she'd heard too many times I tried a little a little sweet talk to cover lovers' crimes She said "How do you love when no one loves in return? If love is a teacher why's it so hard to learn? Tell me, is it better to marry than to burn? Are we just players, players in the game?" I remember kissin' fingers wrapped in her hair In that rush of emotion did I ever really care? And as I saw her silhouette fadin' down the hall I begged for love's mercy talkin' to the wall Sayin' how do you love when no one loves in return? If love is a teacher why's it so hard to learn? Tell me, is it better to marry than to burn? Are we just players, players in the game? When I was a child tryin' to prove I was a man I came upon a woman who told me who I am Sometimes you play the part so well you even fool yourself I need a different kind of love from somewhere else True love knows to love when no one loves in return Love is the teacher and I got a lot to learn Passion takes its prisoners, got to break before I burn Can't be playin', playin' lovin' games Can't be playin', playin' lovin' games
The Struggle
Resurrection Band - 20 YEARS LIVE - © 1992
Sometimes You scare me by what You cause me to see And I'm afraid of knowing who I am Although You've changed me there's still a whole lot of old wineskin And to open up would destroy the me I'm afraid to show One part of me doesn't want to grow But I'm tired of this lingering winter Tired of ground so hard and cold Plow Your way through, I'm asking You to, Jesus Lord, You're my only hope Without You . . . I can't face myself My pride wants me to hide inside myself But I love You an' I don't want our love put on the shelf I'm tired of fighting to be who I am Jesus, make me what You want me to be Because of You I desire reality A love for You is what I'm dying to receive Though I hate what I am I understand what You've promised me You've promised me freedom in the truth But I can only face myself when I've faced You An' I'll be ready to face myself when I face You
Fiend Or Foul
Resurrection Band - 20 YEARS LIVE - © 1992
I beat the dead, they don't fight back They have no need, they have no lack They bear the marks of my attack I beat the dead, they don't react I rob the poor, they don't mind I take whatever I happend to find It's never much at any one time I rob the poor, it's not a crime Call me fiend, call me foul Throw me to the dogs that bite and howl Before you point your finger or cry an empty tear Buy yourself an alibi, get yourself a mirror I kill the children before they born As their little feet begin to form Don't buy them shoes, they won't be worm I kill the children, I am not scorned
Alienated
Resurrection Band - 20 YEARS LIVE - © 1992
I like your name I like your face Are you a charter member of the human race Are you ever frustrated by the things you see Does it make you sad or upset like me Alienated from this world Talked about but politely neglected Alienated from this world And I'm begining to understand With love in your eyes you confront the lies The double standards and the party ties My one affiliation isn't with your name To share your kingdom and to share your shame Lord, You are Alienated from this world Talked about but politely neglected Alienated from this world And I'm begining to understand Alienated from this world Talked about but politely neglected Alienated from this world And I'm begining to understand I have chosen the narrow road Lord, You gave me such an easy load I look at Your cross and I see Your love... Lord, You are Alienated from this world Talked about but politely neglected Alienated from this world And I'm begining to understand Alienated from this world Talked about but politely neglected Alienated from this world And I'm begining to understand
Paint A Picture
Resurrection Band - 20 YEARS LIVE - © 1992
Oh, the hours of agony in that darkened room Silhouetted by an ache to be desired by someone Hating who you are and what you've made of yourself Not forgiving yourself for you What was I trying to prove, running from You? And it hurts me so to see that box I know Filled with photographs of things I knew But You promised me You'd make all things new Paint a picture of a lonely life Paint a picture of a cold, gray night Paint a picture of the emptiest day you've ever known Paint a picture of a starving man Paint a picture, being born again Paint a picture of an empty cage, for this bird has flown When you live all alone Hating your only companion They'll tell you it's allright But baby, you know that's a lie I reached the bottom I hope you don't have to find out the way I did Trip after trip and try after try after try Paint a picture of a broken heart Paint that picture and you can start to understand the love of the Savior And oh, how He understands you Paint a picture of a blood-covered cross See that picture and you'll know what it cost - the price God paid to prove His love for you

Right On Time
Resurrection Band - 20 YEARS LIVE - © 1992
Your love was right on time I remember when I was young Swayed in the grass of an autumn sun I'd feel the wind upon my face Before it blew to another place But I've grown older since the magic of those days Forgotten how the breezes make the meadows play Your love was right on time Somethin' tells me I'm not alone Travellin' down this lonesome road I feel sometimes that I could cry Not knowin' the reasons why Then He told me I was losin' all control Then He told me I could lose my very soul I knew I coul not make it on my own Then you came along and made me whole Your love was right on time Seasons passin' as they will Fields are mown and the the ground lies still Now in sorrow it comes to mind Left more than youth and fields behind Now in mercy it comes to mind Your love was right on time
Love Comes Down
Resurrection Band - 20 YEARS LIVE - © 1992
He said that He had your number You cut the telephone line You say you needed a reason He said "There ain't much time" You kept tryin' to avoid it He kept knockin' on the door In a flash it was over You were a prisoner of war But when you loose, you win That's the way it is That's where the love comes down That's where the love comes down She was playin' in traffic an' you were scopin' her out She was so much elastic, someone had strung her out Until the fire had reached her, that's when the lights came on That's when she got off her habit, that's when you took her on home Cause when you loose, you win That's the way it is That's where the love comes down That's where the love comes down Cause when you loose, you win That's the way it is That's where the love comes down That's where the love comes You can't beat the heat He's red hot on your trail He's the love enforcer an' He's paid your bail It's much more than emotion, It's not just in your head You gotta die to get life an' you'd better off dead But when you loose, you win That's the way it is That's where the love comes down That's where the love comes down Cause when you loose, you win That's the way it is That's where the love comes down That's where the love comes down When you loose, you win That's the way it is That's where the love comes down That's where the love comes down
White Noise
Resurrection Band - 20 YEARS LIVE - © 1992
Defective youth, the writing's on the wall Decline of the West, see the fallout fall Violence, banner of the tough Politicians playing blind man's bluff Now what, whose deal? What's truth, what's real? Turn it down, turn it off It's all white noise to me America's missiles, a superpower blessed A hungry child is crying, pretend it's just a test Russia's got the gulag, Pretoria the bomb Making sure the weak keep silent, move along Defective man, the writing's on your heart Reality of evil, tearing you apart Hanging in the balance, you hear the Savior call Make Him Lord of everything or see the nations fall Now what, whose deal? He's truth, He's real Open up, start to feel No more white noise for me

Love Speak
Resurrection Band - 20 YEARS LIVE - © 1992
I can preach at you til I'm blue in the face Judge you to death and put you in your place I can feed your body yeah share the wealth And still lose my soul to the fires of hell Love speak You can speak it with blood, speak it with sweat Not so easily done, much more easily said Spoken by the living, spoken by the dead Got to speak it with your heart as well as your head Love speak Love don't care if you slander its name It'll burn at the stake and bless the flame Rises from the ashes again and again And keeps coming back for more of the same Lovespeak

Resurrection Band - 20 YEARS LIVE - © 1992

Shadows
Resurrection Band - 20 YEARS LIVE - © 1992
In the words of his mama, "He was my only son." In the words of his sister, "He was on the run." In the words of his girl, "How could it end this way?" In the words of his daddy, "Well he never had much to say." Goodbye Kathy and goodbye Mom, there's voices in my head Angel dust and tortured dreams say I'd be better dead You, you chased the shadows because your hopes and dreams have been lost to the night Hey, Billy, did you hear the news? Johnny's gone for good They say his mama's all broke up They found him in the woods Kathy just couldn't understand Sheriff, he just looked tired Some will play and some will pay And Johnny played with fire Johnny's dead and buried now out on the edge of town Drove by his grave the other day, that's when the fear came down I hate the night that took his life, but now it's haunting me I may be young, may be confused but I gotta be free God, are You there, can You hear me now? Show me how to hope Lost in the dark on a dead end road, please save me from myself Lord, You, You took the shadows - all my fears and doubt and brought me out of the night Lord, You , You take the shadows - give me hope and love and turn my darkness to light
Somebody To Love
Resurrection Band - 20 YEARS LIVE - © 1992
When the truth is found to be lies And all the joy within you dies Don't you want somebody to love? Don't you need somebody to love? Wouldn't you love somebody to love? You gotta find somebody to love When the garden flowers, baby, are dead And your mind, your mind is so full of dread Your eyes, I say your eyes they look like years But in your head, baby I'm afraid you don't know where it is Tears are runnin' all around and down your dress And your friends baby They treat you like a guest
Every Time It Rains
Resurrection Band - 20 YEARS LIVE - © 1992
I been alone Out on my own Exchanging truth for a lie Pleasure for pride Hell on my side Say what you please This brought me to my knees Jesus, You cried for me when I could weep no more You died for me when I was dead in sin You felt for me when I was numb within You searched for me and brought me home again Why do You love me, when I treat You so wrong? I give you heartache an' You give me a song I give You silence, cold and empty stares But still I know You care Wherever I run, You're there
Where Roses Grow
Resurrection Band - 20 YEARS LIVE - © 1992
Empty promises, that were etched in stone Scattered by the wind to places I have known All the burning lamps by the window panes Lit for their return, but they never came I lose myself in deep regret Still I hear a voice that I can't forget Says: we will run where roses grow, our feet unbound at last Laugh as morning dawns, the night forever passed See the face of glory, feel the river flow Hear the voice of God, and run where roses grow Fading hope is gathered as the sky grows dim Somewhere it's raining, but it's drought within Out across the desert, was it fate or was it chance? I saw clouds approaching where I took my stance Hear the thunder rolling - can you hear the horn? I'm climbing Jacob's ladder - up through the storm Stand with me at the Mercy Seat With mounds of ashes spread about my feet You know who I am, all I think I know See it in the marrow, buried deep in the bone How is there no anger in the words I hear? Only love and mercy, erasing every fear
Light/Light
Resurrection Band - 20 YEARS LIVE - © 1992
They surround Me like a ring of fire They crown me with bitter desire I pay for the sake of souls My grave just a visit below Storms inside, darkness in broad daylight The pounding of the waves lonely black as night Light, light, carry My light on high Light, light, carry it on Silence the great divorce of dreams The frozen sound, the holy ground, and today they rise with Me
