John 3:16, 35-36, 4:14; Hebrews 1:8
I Corinthians 15:31

i know a man who cares
i know a man who shares
i know a man who gave me
all He had to make me whole

all that He is, all that He was all that He will
and now i see i don?t have to be
on my own, i don?t have to be
on my own somebody set me free
on my own, i don?t have to be
on my own never again
all alone, all alone?

i saw the light from in the hole
from in the hole i saw the light
He reached inside
and saved a soul

into my life He came
into my life he changed
into my life He made me able
to change all my ways

more than a name
more than a man
more than a friend
Jesus Christ he?s the savior-man


backhand

James 1:19-25, 2:20

i look into the mirror
what do i see is it me
i?m straining to see clearly
who is that it can?t be me

i don?t seem to know myself
so much has changed since last i looked
i?ve been away for so long
the spring within my soul is dry
i see my face will i forget it
i hear the word but will i do
i hold my tongue but will i say it
who am i?who am i

let all be quick to hear
and slow to speak and slow to anger
for the anger of man does not
achieve the righteousness of God

putting aside all filthiness
humbly receive the Word
oh blind man can you see that
a dead faith cannot save you

i see my face will i forget it
i hear the Word but will i do
i make a vow but will i keep it
who am i?who am i

look at yourself and ask yourself
do i just hear or do i do

who are you?who are you
who are we?who are we


mustard seed

Matthew 17:20

you can?t see how i feel
how i feel inside
wanting all to hear me
how loud should i cry
hearing a faithless sigh
healing a blinded eye
how long will i be with you
will you ever learn to stand

how i know frustration
i gave you my life
you destroy this temple
but in three days it will rise

wait for me
wait for me (i?ll be there)

i will come back to you
then return for a time
the Son of Man coming in a cloud
with all power and glory

as my Father sent me
i send you just the same
and until i come again
hold fast to what i say


dust

James 1:27, 4:14-17,
I Timothy 5:1-4, 5:1-4, I Peter 5:5-7

today i?m one day older
i?m all alone again

lying here i?m slowly dying
taking up your precious time
burdening your life i?m sorry
i can tell you really care

i see you forgot to love me
i know, you don?t really need me
i feel loneliness invade me
strangers once i called family

my hourglass is shifting
the sand is almost gone

and earnestly i?m praying
that God won?t leave me too
now that my skin is wrinkled
and my hair is turning blue

the hourglass is shifting
will you be all alone


shallow

Luke 6:35-38, I Timothy 6:10-11
I Peter 2:17, James 2:5-10

you give all to your career
work your fingers to the bone
cutthroat do all you can
step high on the little man

making all that see you
bow down should they worship you
money brings you power
can you buy your family

cryin? a blackened hole within
shallow the new seeds that you sow

you thrive on legalities
taking your enemies to court
love them, you know you could
fear God, love the brotherhood

hear me i can see you
bow down will you worship me
just like the money changers
you love this life more than me
