Rez Band - Colours © 1980
I said, "Sign here please," and You inscribed Your Name in my heart Didn't know what I was getting into Or what was getting into me for that matter A little slow to understand, Love was the word I was after So Your name kept coming to my lips, Again and again Now I understand, He wahted the heart of thos world You're His Signature, the very Stamp of His Soul Spirit in the wind, agony of the cross all told Signed in blood Forgery, it happens all the time Your truth ain't even on their minds Though it's written down in black and white blood-red Jesus is up from the dead And I know that he's coming again Your autograph Touching the heart of my world Your signature in me The mark of your soul Spirit im my heart Crosses of love my goal I want to be clear and bold Your autograph

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

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
Hidden Man
Rez Band - Colours © 1980
Hidden man/see-saw soul Riccochet world/domino On the isle of independence In the straits of hideaway You boomerang your vengeance Through a world you choose to blame Fireflicker/hidden man You felt thunder from his hand Frost and dampness on your plan Invaded by the Son of man Healing words/breath of the Son No use hiding/nowhere to run Hidden man is overcome By the love and the light and the blood of the Son You know the truth when you hear it Though sometimes you may fear it How we need to get near it He came down from the heavens To declare us forgiven Without Him we ain't livin' I have made my decision I believe in the vision That the Savior has givin' Hidden man, no more shall you be hidden On his light you are livin' By his blood you're forgiven
Amazing
Rez Band - Colours © 1980
You put me up when life put me down You yook me in when sin shut me out You call my name when I felt forgotten It's amazing - your love In silence, I sat without and within It's easy to lie about your hidden sin But it's hard to die When that's the shape you're in Outside your love what was I think of ? Now I've got you and you've got me I read your word and I believe Here in the night, Lord You shine like the day
An American Dream
Rez Band - Colours © 1980
The complexity of life is a label we must wear Snarled the vision of the dreamer Condemned by his own dare As a child I asked the questions But only for their sakes Believing there were answers Become my one mistake The holy morning paper Slaps the stpes of dawn America's doors open Let's see what's going on Confusion with our coffee Fear and frosted flakes A Shuttle offstage - a change of scene The expose of the american dream Watergate burglars comedy relief Laugh at ideals survivng our griefs It's fool's gold for gilded fools Playing gaily with twisted rules Hail to the families in thier tv rooms Suicide, genocide, abortion, cartoons Terrorism, violence, starving refugees Conscience, crucified, reality recedes Nuclear tyrants, computerized plan, Holding hostage everyman It' won' happen 1950 It may happen 1965 It will happen JUST DON'T THINK ABOUT IT !!! Form dust to dust Our lives fades away We are the winds empty sighing Vanity, all vanity All but the cross, all but his dying
Benny And Sue
Rez Band - Colours © 1980
Susie was a high school queen She understood the socre The price for popularity ask a little more Went though an abortion before she was 17 Then she met Benny, a drifting ex-marine Oh, Susie, why didn't you heed the call ? You clung false security and you lost it all Benny rode a motorcycle with his girlfriend Sue Didn't know last saturday was the last thing they'd ever do I read it all in the paper over on page nine He lost control, he lost his life, ignored the warning sign Benny, Benny, why didn't you heed the call When dead came knocking you had to face it, face it after all Benny, Benny, the funeral is today Nobody knew, not even Susie or you The price that you'd had to pay A year passed and Susie sits alone with broken dreams High school gaic memories, nothing's what it seems As you cry little girl, I cry for you I can heal your bitterness, your hearthaches too Susie, Susie, do you hear Jesus call ? To follow sin or follow love The hardest choice of all
City Streets
Rez Band - Colours © 1980
You saw me standing out in the street I was looking for some action, someone to meet There was holes in my pockets And a hole in my soul And a whole lot of questions About which way to go Lookin' for love Lookin' for drugs Lookin' for a pretty Lookin' for love Lookin' for life Livin' in the city Like a joke without a punch line Like a rat in a maze Like last year's paper yellow with age I was a deck without a dealer I was a day without a dawn I was a train without a station Until you came along Lookin' for love Lookin' for fun Isn't it a pity Lookin' for love Lookin' for life Livin' in the city You found me broken in the bad part of town Could'nt look up to heaven Till I was all the way down Your love reached for me Felt the scar on your hand Saw your cross on the skyline Now I understand Born for love, born for life You were born in the city You died for love, died for life You were died for the city You're returning for love You're returnig for life Jesus, you're returning for the city
Beggar In The Alleyway
Rez Band - Colours © 1980
Tomorrow comes early in the morning light But like a spider in the shadows we spin in the night The wrong and right is black and white Someone tell me why we hide from the truth that's within our sight Felt like the sole performer on a one act play That the critics would'nt give the time of day So I changed the characters, rewrote the lines Hoping that would change their minds But no one came to see, not even me (Jesus speaks) And you were a beggar where the north wind spreads Down garbage-strewn alleys you made your bed And he was the lover who held your head in a lap of compassion He cried and said ««Stay with me until dawn The night is cold, why wonder on You've been lonely for too long Stay with me until dawn Put aside all you've done wrong Nothing matters anymore but the love you're searchin' for Like planets revolve around the sun I've learned to revolve around th eOne Who knows the score, who is the sum The pure and true and faultless one 'Cause I was a beggar in the alleyway Until one desperate passion play The dice were loaded, the decked was marked And I lay dying in the dark Lord, you took me in and covered me Turned on the light that made me see Who am I without your Son The king of king, the risen One Tomorrow comes early in the morning light Though weeping may tarry through the night Easter gave fair warning : Joy comes in the morning
The Struggle
Rez Band - Colours © 1980
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
