Waves

Resurrection Band - Awaiting Your Reply - © 1978

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?

Look out !
I know that there's a heaven,
And soon I'll be there
No lying, No crying,
No dying, no fear
If you want to join us,
You can come along
With His blood He bought you
And to Him you'll belong...
Come along, yeah, yeah !

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

A voice on the other end said,
"Where in the world have you been"
I said, "I've been all around.
But I can't see a thing"
I was lying in my bed, lying in my bed
Trying to arrange my head
When a letter came in from Him
Saying I was dead
It was signed in blood, 
It was mailed into my heart
Though the channel was clear,
I didn't want to hear, it made me worried,worried, worried, worried.
When you're out with the boys
Walking paranoid, and all your toys
Make you discouraged,
It's really sad you know
When you've nothing to show,
And there it reads, there it reads, on the bottom line
"I love you I love you I love you I love you 
Awaiting your reply, awaiting your reply, 
Awaiting your reply, Awaiting your reply"
Why did He have to word it like that
Why can't He just let me be
It was bad enough that He offered His love,
But why did He fry my head with that last line
Awaiting your reply, awaiting your reply, 
Awaiting your reply, Awaiting your reply

I could laugh in the face of life,
I could laugh in the face of lies
But I knew I couldn't keep Him waiting
I had so little time
So I called Him up
Asked for Him by name
He passed me the ticket, and I boarded the plane
We pulled out onto the airport runway
We began to climb just as the whole world exploded
I'd just asked Him for His lifeline
The blood, the blood of Jesus is His lifeline, lifeline
So sit down and read His letter, His letter
His love is clearly defined
When you're done with His words
You won't forget what you've heard
And His love, He'll haunt you day and night
Awaiting your reply, awaiting your reply, 
Awaiting your reply, Awaiting your reply
Awaiting your reply

Broken Promises

Resurrection Band - Awaiting Your Reply - © 1978

	 

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

Golden Road

They  told  me  about a  golden road paved with dreams and fame
I thought I'd try to walk it -get down and play the game
The treasures of the world kept comin'... all my dreams came true
But I didn't realize the price I'd paid	for the changes I'd gone through
Changes I'd gone through
Clinging to the shope of a fantasy, rolling down the slope of desire
Most of the time pulling it out of the fire
I turned away from God and His love, and I worshipped myself
The Idols that I built, all crumbled on my shelf
The all crumbled on my shelf

But all along I realized
That if I had to
If I had to chose
Between love an'  my own sweet lies
Love was bound to lose

They  told  me  about a  goldern road paved with death and shame
I thought I'd try to find  it -	get away from playing the game
I realized the price He paid for the changes  I've gone through
I realized the price He paid for the changes  I've gone through
Changes  I've gone through
Changes  I've gone through

If I pay, will you take me away
Prove your worth to me
We've been lied to before, how can we be sure
What if..What if it hurts to believe
Anyway, open up the door, open up the door
And I'm comin' in
I'm so tired of following sin
I want to give myself to You, Jesus
(But I got some problems I want to talk to You about now)
I been hit, I been down
But I never carried my cross through town
I don't understand it, and I might not be
Might not be willing to learn
Tell me, why did You come and why are we born
Where the dogs eat dog, and pigs get all the corn 

Lightshine, will You be mine
Do You understand where I've been
Twilight carries into night
If I go there, will You follow me in?
What does it mean for a rebel to dream?
I'm a gamble, how can I win?
Am I in danger?
Don't be a stranger to me, don't be a stranger to me
I used to sit and wonder where I was goin'
I used to wonder where it would be, yeah, yeah
When the curtain fell, when the curtain fell
and time caught up with me
Have you heard the Satanic symphony?
Have you realized the conductor runs you too?
(unless you know Jesus)
When the Father calls, do you stall and stall
Or will you search for the key and receive the truth?
But if your yoke is easy than your burden is light
We can take it one day at a time-
If You change my heart 
And You change my life
That will surely change my mind

I wonder if you've noticed
Cause we're sure enuff running out of time
No doubt in my mind,
I can hear Him counting down

Ananias, they'll carry you away
Oh, Sapphira, she went that same day
The secrets in your heart
Will sure enuff tear you apart

The promises you made
Are they still the same ones you keep?
Once upon a time you heard the call
But when it comes time to givin' your all
You run

Death of the dying

Resurrection Band - Awaiting Your Reply - © 1978

	

Maniacs dangle on the lunatic fringe
On the edge of a razor 
And like a door without a hinge
"The devil", they cackle
"Could be ours in a cinch"
Quicksand lies sound warning
But they won't budge an inch

Like Pilate, they fear the death of the Saint,
Yet they fancy the diamond, the palace, the paint
The coward within them clings only to that
Of lace and white satin
"No blood on my hand!"

And in the finale, clutched tightly by pain
Their glass houses shattered weeds bent in the rain
With a "why" in the mind
And a curse on the tongue
Death bellowing hungrily,
Shadows on sun

They pass into all that they have ever sown
Forsaking the answer abdicating the throne
If only they'd followed when
Christ called and walked on
They'd have silenced the madness
In the narrow road home

Irish Garden

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

The Return

Resurrection Band - Awaiting Your Reply - © 1978

	
I know it won't be long until the Savior comes
Oh and if you're weary, weary keep on praying
Sometimes we do get down,
with no one else around
But in those quiet times He whispers
"You are mine and I love you"
Sometimes we know we're wrong
and we feel so far from home
But if you listen you'll hear
His gentle voice saying, "You belong"
The cares of life they sting,
but when we see the King
Oh, they'll melt away just like the snows in the spring
No more tears, no more crying
Behold, I come quickly
and every eye shall see
Every tongue will swear to me
I am the Savior
And I love you
