Midnight Son
Rez Band - Rainbow's End © 1979
My eyes are in the sky My head is turned around People pass me by Looking for what I've found But to see what I see You got to know Who I know And to be where I am You got to follow The roaring of the sea The pounding of the wave The water calling me My old life to the grave And I went under As it came over The holy water spoke to me Oh, You light up the sky You're the power of the sun You're the starlight in the darkness On Your laughter shadows run You're the mighty wind of glory And the Father all in one You're the Morning Star You're the Midnight Son The sun burned through the shadows And Mary saw the light In the eyes of the risen Savior As the day shut out the night My eyes are in the sky My head is turned around People pass me by Looking for what I've found But to see what I see You got to know Who I know And to be where I am You got to followStrongman

Standing strong and silent High upon a hill He thought he was a tough one He tried to get his fill Jesus calls your name But you're just standing still Strongman, wrongman You have to bend to God's will And you might have to cry Strongman Running quickly forward Down the streets of life He thought he was the fast one He turned out the last one Jesus reaches to you But your heart is full of strife Strongman, wrongman Despair within you Like a knife Do you need to ask why? A multitude of problems Press him to the wall He thought his strength sufficient It wasn't after all Jesus speaks your name You stall and stall and stall Strongman, wrongman You're headed for a fall Without the Savior you will die Strongman Lying weak and helpless In a valley low He thought he was the tough one There's nowhere left to go Jesus speaks your name The tears begin to flow Weakman, meekman You've begun to know The Son is rising in your soulAfrikaans

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
Skyline
Rez Band - Rainbow's End © 1979
I've seen the skyline of this tired town We look well worn now, we've all been around The world is crazy, it's all gone wild I'm seeing the starvation of this population Their faces speak of no place to go I'm seeing the starvation of this population Their faces speak of nowhere to know Lost in the alleys, playin' the games Disguise your feelings, you'll go insane Listen, truth is the season, love is the reason Faith is the flame we must hold Doubt the deceiver, hope the believer That comes in from the cold I've seen the skyline of another time The city's holy, the water's wine Ooohh, but the wheel of time it keeps on spinning Still all the losers think they're winning But Jesus died to be forgiving Doubt the deceiver, hope the believer Believer, that comes in from the cold
Paint A Picture
Rez Band - Rainbow's End © 1979
Music: Glenn Kaiser and Stu Heiss Lyrics: Glenn Kaiser 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
Rainbow's End

Weave a rainbow in your eyes Quiet evening lullaby Cross your heart to never die Broken on the wood Silence by the deafening roar Driven from the nether-shore Violent tremors, wars and more No, not one is good Forty days and forty nights Noah sailed a sea of tears And the lesson of the flood Shouts across the years Now He will destroy the dark Jesus is the living ark Nothing in the world compares with Him No one ever loved you more He alone is Heaven's Door He's the Promise, He's the Rainbow's End
Concert For A Queen
Rez Band - Rainbow's End © 1979
I come into your palace Rich in tapestries Of love and warmth and glory You've yielded all for me And as we melt together within the melody I offer thee a concert for a queen In our castle the peace of Jesus reigns Simply resting we receive the joyous strains Of the music that the Holy Ghost creates And our harmony is a concert for the King And our harmony is a concert for the King For we are His royal children And He provides the love we exchange When I feel the touch of your hand Upon my face When I feel the touch of your hand Upon my face I rejoice in the union He has made I come into your palace Rich in tapestries Of love and warmth and glory You've yielded all for me And as we melt together within the melody I offer thee a concert for the queen I offer thee a concert for the queen I offer thee a concert for a queen
Sacrifice Of Love
Rez Band - Rainbow's End © 1979
You're on the road, you're on the highway One or the other will take you there But it's a tall road, and it'll cost you The road to glory, or the road to despair Sacrifice, it was a sacrifice of love There is a price to pay, today or later on Every king has his kingdom Every servant has his trade Every lord has his lady You are the Bride, for which He paid Sacrifice, it was a sacrifice of love There is a price to pay, today or later on Sacrifice, it was a sacrifice of love There is a price to pay, today or later on The road is narrow, the cross is real But it's the right way, it doesn't matter how you feel Because the Savior, the Savior doesn't change Not even death could hold Him in the grave Sacrifice, it was a sacrifice of love There is a price to pay, today or later on Sacrifice, it was a sacrifice of love There is a price to pay, today or later on Today or later on
Wolfsong
Rez Band - Rainbow's End © 1979
I know the right things to say, at just the right time I know the right people to be with And my phrases always rhyme, always rhyme I rarely make a mistake About the places I go From the clothes I wear, to the curl in my hair I'm all show, show Oh, I'm an actor I've polished all my lines I know how to take your Every nickel and dime Impressions are lasting And so is my smile You could be my leading lady, for awhile I've mastered all the right angles And the left ones too I'm a box office smash An' the cash is my golden rule Sometimes I lose sight of what's real And what's only a lie But it's okay I'll just cough, sniff And straighten my tie You'll know them by their love and by their fruits Not by pearly teeth, Mercedes or fine suits Not by where they go or what they can afford Not just by Jesus as their Savior But as their Lord
Every Time It Rains
Rez Band - Rainbow's End © 1979
Music: Jim Denton Lyrics: Glenn Kaiser 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 Lord, 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 Lord, you cried for me, when I could weep no more You died for me, when I was dead in sin Lord, You felt for me when I was numb within Oh, You searched for me, and brought me home again
