Love Comes Down

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 lose, you win That's the way it is That's when 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 You can 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'de better off dead
Zuid Afrikan

You cannot ban me The walls, the bars, they cannot hold me in I am the prisoner not to your policies, Your prejudices, your sin You cannot silence me There are no respect for persons in my eyes But I can tell you this If you live by the sword, by the sword you shall die Lion, lion you lay down with the lamb Or you will lie on, lie on and the end will be at hand You sow mercy and mercy you shall reap You sow pain and pain you will receive In the rubble of shantys in your land Zuid African You look for justice Then you will seek for me To know compassion you must know my name For forgiveness you must face your shame Die to live again You sow mercy and mercy you shall reap You sow love then love you shall reap Fear me the greatest For I fear no man Zuid Afrikan
Walk On
Resurrection Band - BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL - © 1985
When you see a blind man Don't walk on by When you see a lame man Don't walk on by When you see a drunkard Don't walk on When you see a victim Don't victimize We got to reach out Come on out of the night Be the people of light, the people of light We can feel the pain of a hungry child We can see dispair in a mother's eyes We can you see the refugees on the nightly news From the comfort of our couches and our padded pews We got to reach out Come on out of the night Be the people of light, the people of light He is the hungry Don't walk on by He is the thristy Don't walk on by He is the stranger Don't walk on He is the naked You can't walk on by He is the wounded Don't walk on He is the prisoner Don't walk on by He is the least Don't walk on He is the least of these Don't you walk on by
Talk To Me
Resurrection Band - BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL - © 1985
I am a house without window I'm a room without a door I'm a fortress broke into I'm a city with no walls I'm a ship without an anchor I'm a fire without a flame I'm a universel person I'm a face without a name Why don't you talk to me Why don't you talk to me Why don't you talk to me Why don't you talk to me I'm a dance witouht a rhythm I'm a poet without a rhyme I'm a comedy gone sour I'm a memory lost in time A book without a binding Salt you cannot taste I'm a universel person My identity erased Why don't you talk to me Why don't you talk, talk to me Why don't you talk to me I'm an emotion without action My heart held tight by fear My heart is split in half I have ears that will not hear One thing I know is true This, I know as a fact The closer that I get to You Your voice will start coming back I wanna to talk to You I need to talk to You (repeat)
I Think You Know

You used to think you're okay But now you know it wasn't true You had the world by the tail Now what you gonna do You rolled the dice and played to win How will you solve the fix you're in ? I think you know there's something else I think you know there's someone else She was the heart you tore apart With all your selfishness and greed He stands between you now So will you stay or will you leave ? What could've change her overnight She walks in such a different light I think you know there's something else I think you know there's someone else I think you know, I think you know I know you know, I know you know There's nothing left but ashes Where there was once a stolen kiss But what the Savior offers You can't afford to say no! You can't afford to miss, ooooh ! The light is shining in your eyes Now let Him come and live inside I think you know there's something else I think you know there's someone else I think you know there's something else I think you know there's someone else
Shadows

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
Save Me From Myself

Gimme something that's real Tell me it won't break Give me something that last Tell me it's not fake Do you know someone possibly Who would be very true to me Someone who's not fake Someone who could save me from myself Someone who could give me some answers? Our world's turning around You can be lonely in the middle of a crowd People jumping out of their skin Waiting for something that will never begin Do you know someone possibly Who would be very true to me Someone who's not fake
Nervous World
Resurrection Band - BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL - © 1985
Why worry about tomorrow Let the good times roll Big deal if you reap what you sow Why hurry through today if you think it don't matter And you really don't care where you go Hey you, you can't take it with you Yeah you, you gotta get it right now It's a nervous, nervous world It's a nervous, nervous world Why worry, let the world eat cake Why hurry, live for pleasure's sake Don't think or we may come unglued Just drink till the good earth's nuked It's a nervous, nervous world Is it any wonder why we crash and burn It's a nervous, nervous, nervous world When will we ever learn And they wind you up till the mainspring breaks And the tension beats like a drum So you bounce right back for another go-round Along the road to hell they're on Don't think or we may come unglued Party till the world is nuked It's a nervous, nervous world It's a nervous, nervous world Everywwhere we see the rise and fall of men It's a nervous, nervous world It's a nervous, nervous world till He comes again
2,000

In the year 2000, Will we still have minds Will our hearts be stoned cold And who drew the blinds ? Will the frozen tundra 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 In the neon's flashing Will we be machines Will we push the button In racing conscience clean Will the jagged mountains Fall down to dust Consume by 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 slam the door You lock 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
