Love Speak
Resurrection Band - AMPENDECTOMY - © 1995
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
Broken Promises
Resurrection Band - AMPENDECTOMY - © 1995
Broken promises, We lost the joy that we once knew. Where do we go from here, From something old to something new? Past dreams done gone from me, I'm losing daylight, losing view. Son of God, where are you now? Do you feel my need? I'm lost within this forest, Barricaded by the trees. Will You hear my cry for help, Would You forgive me? I'm so far away, I've run so far away. Broken promises, Broken by me and not by You. Jesus, break me. Lord, snap my stubborn heart in two. Lonely hours, so many wasted talents That I've sown. But I'm ready to follow You, Jesus. My dear Lord, I'm coming home. Lord, I want You to change me, Rearrange me. Lord, I want you to mold me. I just want you to hold me. Sweet Savior, just love me. Your thoughts are so high above me. And I confess that I need You. I really know that I need You. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I need You. Lord, help me to follow You. Jesus, I'm gonna follow You. I give my whole life to You. Jesus, I'm gonna follow You. My dear Lord, I'm coming home, yeah ! Lord, I need to follow You Jesus, I gonna follow You I give my whole life to You Jesus, I gonna follow You My dear Lord, I'm coming home
Souls For Hire
Resurrection Band - AMPENDECTOMY - © 1995
You toy with the truth You dilute with water You hate your wife But you say you love your daughter Envision if you will A world on fire It's a flaming sin We're sould for hire You get what you pay for A jack of all trades A fish full of small change A host of charades Philosophies drifting To please every whim It only depends On the mood you're in You learn toward religion You secularize Don't feed me excuses They're nothing but lies The time that you're wasting Is precios to Him Truth is you don't confront sin Like a magician With rabbit in hand A wand of ideas At your command Some will be fooled And believe what you say But God will be the last To speak on that day Leave or be left That's what it says Be loved if you want Or lost if you don't Don't blame the preacher Don't balme the school Don't blame conditions Don't be a fool If you live in darkness It's you that decides An' it won't freeze over No matter the time
The House Is On Fire
Resurrection Band - AMPENDECTOMY - © 1995
I smell smoke on the holy ground I feel the heat, somethin's comin' down I'm barely awake in this midnight hour Under the spell of a numbling power I can taste flames in the scorchin' light How I wish I was dreamin' Wrong an' not right How wish I was wrong, an' not right, right, right How can I hesitate It's gettin' harder to breathe In the grey smoke hanging Suffocating me The house is on fire The walls are alive in this red-hot blaze Shout to the sleepers throught the terminal haze As the sparks fly up and the flames reach higher Call me what you will but I ain't no liar The house is on fire!
I Need Your Love
Resurrection Band - AMPENDECTOMY - © 1995
I want Your love, I need Your love People come'n'go, people change Your love flows, You stay the same I want Your love I want Your fire, I need Your desires Wheels are turnin' all around me Fire's burnin' I'm so glad You found me I want Your fire, I need Your desires I'm not ashamed anymore I call You Love, Jesus, I call you Lord You're the beginning, You're the end You're my first love, my best friend You brought the daylight to the day Created strlight to guide my way You are my Saviour, You are my Lord You paid the price I could never afford
Rain Dance
Resurrection Band - AMPENDECTOMY - © 1995
Talkin' to myself Idea and images covered with dust Memories well-worn from contant use Stained by loneliness and lust Heaping on my heart abuse Somebody tell me What's the use? Wet-walking in streaming rain Hair stuck to my head like my thoughts Regents half-felt and sin half-loved What I have bought? Drops coming down on my face And on the roottops But they don't reach inside me I say faith is just for fools Somebody tell me What's the use? Love cold and wet Against my skin Where do you end How do you begin I'm so lost in a world without Your breath Needing Your fire Fearing Your flame Should I surrender Waiting for the rain Streaming rain Come rain Lord send Your rain, rain, rain rain rain
Shadows
Resurrection Band - AMPENDECTOMY - © 1995
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 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 You, you chased the shadows because your hopes and dreams have been lost to the night 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 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
So In Love With You
Resurrection Band - AMPENDECTOMY - © 1995
Somewhere in Scotland or Wales I met You in heather Under starlit skies, was it in November A dream, a thought, a wisper there All I know is now I know You care Somewhere in time I realized What can I say, can I do I'm so in love with You Somewhere in time I realized how lost I'd been Black out on the moors, taunting Northern wind Rainsaaked daybreak, arriving at Land's End Dawn paints storm clouds You coloured me Your friend Your name, my reason for being If love is, so are You Blue tide, mirror bright My heart reflects Your truth A spark, a prayer beyond the lee I found joy in Your reality Jesus, I'm so in love with You
Colours
Resurrection Band - AMPENDECTOMY - © 1995
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
Irish garden
Resurrection Band - AMPENDECTOMY - © 1995
Sitting in an Irish garden You melancholy bride All your children are dying Blood on the roadside Your people are helpless And no one consoles you As bullets keep flying Filling you with holes Why, oh why, did you run and hide It's a culture shock to the soul You sit in the flames of the fire you set The nation is out of control Sitting in an Irish garden You broken bride to be Rise up through your sorrow Jesus makes you free Olden days gone by It was not so then Time to play, sing and dance In His Holy land Why did I hide from You With the serpent at my heel I'm sorry for the way that I Must have made You feel Must have made You feel Lord, I'm sorry for the way I know I made you feel Humble us to seek You, Father Heal our land so lost in sin Draw us from the bitter water To the garden once again
Right On Time
Resurrection Band - AMPENDECTOMY - © 1995
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
Across These Fields Reprise
Resurrection Band - AMPENDECTOMY - © 1995
Across these fields Where daylight travels I want to yield Dispite this veil of tears When will You When will You be returning I cast my lot Beyond the fear Across these fields I take my pleasure Force of Your will No matter what may come Through the mist I found the treasure Worth my life Kingdom soon to come Face to face No more alone I shall know As I am known With You I am alive Lord, with You I am satisfied Across these fields Beyond the stars Above this pale, endless universe of ours Where dreams were born All mysteries unfold Where love is a Person to behold
2000
Resurrection Band - AMPENDECTOMY - © 1995
In the year 2000, Will we still have minds Will our hearts be stoned cold And who do the blinds ? Will the throes and thunder Reflect blue light In the faces and the passages of modern night And who lit the flame Who moved the stone Who promised grace In the face of Rome Life in a world Is a master of time By the year 2000 The star will shine And the neons flashing Will we be machines Will we push the button In racing conscience screams Will the jaggered mountains Fall down to dust Consume the weapons of human lust And who lit the flame Who moved the stone Who promised grace In the face of Rome Life in a world Is a master of time By the year 2000 The star will shine Where will you go What will you do When your life comes crashing Down on you You slammed the door You locked your heart How will you face The endless dark And who lit the flame Who moved the stone Who promised grace In the face of Rome Life in a world Is a master of time By the year 2000 The star will shine And who lit the flame Who moved the stone By the year 2000 May his love being known
Lincoln's Train
Resurrection Band - AMPENDECTOMY - © 1995
Passin' through these ruins Mr Lincoln's train goin' by Spilling smoke into these bloody fields All the people stood and cried Our tears are the same color We can all hold hands and mourn But me, I'm still asking myself Why I'm not any freer than I was before Mr Lincoln are you free now? Was it worth what it finally cost? If I had somethin to believe in I could bear this endless cross I got no home, they sold my family I got no job, ain't got no vote Them books they're all mysteries to me Can't read or write, I got no hope The train it just keeps rollin' Cold as steel and dark as night It don't give me no answers, no No, it don't pay me no mind And the scenery just keeps changin' But these folks, they just stay the same Same old fearful eyes a starin' Askin' me to take the blame For their shame, for their shame
I Can't Stop Lovin' You
