Lyrics

 

1.  Homesick

Lord, my heart is broken, I’m pierced inside

I long to be with You and lay this form aside

How long will they prosper and the righteous see rain?

How long ’till You do away with pain?

All that I asked for, all that I needed

Even when words fail, You intercede

It’s not that I think it’s a waste of my time,

I know silence is golden, but honesty shines through

The blatant misrepresentations I’ve made in

attempting to love all that You created

I’ve run the race and I’ve heard the call

to be perfectly honest, I’m sick of it all

Lord I’m homesick…come Lord, and come quickly.

 

2.  Dealin’ With The Devil

I trusted Jesus like the Bible said

I know He’ll greet me at my dying bed

The Lord knows I ain’t no angel

The devil knows where to find me at night

The Lord knows all my weakness

The devil knows how to put up a fight

ain’t no use in crying, ain’t no need to beg

I’ll be dealing with the devil, until my dying bed

The Lord said “it’s free and easy”

The devil said “well that ain’t right”

The Lord said “come and follow”

The devil whispered “I’ll see you tonight”

 

3.  Desire

I’m a codependent, non-repentant, convoluted mess

Non-committed bystander is the title I like best

every kind of excuse has run through my brain

I’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Tick-tock, that thieving clock keeps stealing my time

another excuse has popped in my mind

this job’s best suited for a much better man

but in the meantime I’ll do what I can

Now, yeah now, You’re my desire

You’ve set me on fire

Now, yeah now, Lord You’re my desire

You touched me Lord, set me on fire

Gotta make hay while the sun’s in the sky

this old world just keeps passing me by

40 years in the shop may build your 401

but what will you have to show when it’s all said and done?

 

4. Eye On The Prize

I ain’t the same man that I used to be

these old bones get to achin’, don’t let it bother me

ain’t spendin’ no more time on used-to-be’s

why carry your chains after you’ve been set free?

Don’t have the imagination for new alibis

I made a change of direction, got my eye on the prize

I’m moving on with Jesus Christ

He’s changing up my heart, gave me a new life

His word it guards me and gives me strength

Lord I’ll praise You, for all my days…

 

5.  Cryin’ Shame

I don’t know why I cry at night

Tonight I’ll be crying in the pail moon light

I don’t know why I make the same mistakes

but I know I make them nearly every day

Oh, Lord, it’s a crying shame.

I don’t know why I do the things that I do,

but I know you love me better than I love you

I don’t know why I still don’t know why

guess I’ll be asking until the day I die

I don’t know why I hurt you so bad

when you’re the best thing that I ever had

I don’t know why I cry at night

tonight I’ll be crying in the pail moon light.

 

6. Another Day

I rolled out of bed, Lord, to see the sun come up

rubbed off the sleep, Lord, I grabbed my favorite cup

the coffee doesn’t drive away all the bills I gotta pay

but the Lord blessed me with another day.

Your word oh Lord will give me strength

through You I know I can do all things

the problems keep piling on, they just won’t go away

but the Lord blessed me with another day.

The war rages on as the day comes to an end

all those mistakes, but I know You’re still my friend

there’s so much work left to do, I don’t know what to say

Please Lord, bless me with another day.

I’m a sinner oh Lord as I kneel down and pray

I’ve got nothing but future, I’m done with yesterday

Blessed be the Father, the Spirit and the Son,

I’m gonna keep working until He comes

 

7.  Stand Before The Lord

Check your treasure, where does it lie?

Where will it be when you up and die?

You’ll have to stand before the Lord

There’ll be no help there to be found,

go on and lay your burden down.

The Lord don’t care about your bread

none of the opinions running through your head

Son I can’t stand there for you

go on and do what you’ve got to do

 

8.  Prodigal Blues

Ain’t never been happy with the way things be

ain’t never been happy with the way things be

I’ve taken what you’ve given, but I’ve been living for me

Been winin’ and dinin’, living the good life

been winin’ and dinin’, living the good life

cause I’ve taken what you’ve given, but I’ve been living for me

love ain’t worth nothing unless you get it for free

cause I’ve taken what you’ve given, and I’ve been living for me

and that’s a shame…

Ain’t had nothin’ but bad news and heartache since the day I left home

ain’t had nothin’ but bad news and heartache since the day I left home

lately I’ve been thinking that something just ain’t right

I spent my last dollar three nights ago

been down in the pigpen reaping what I’ve sown

lately I’ve been thinking that something just ain’t right

money ain’t worth nothin’, I’d rather be poor and be right

so I’ve made up my mind, I’m heading for home tonight

 

9. Revival

Everywhere I look, people’s down

ain’t enough love to go around

brothers and sisters, full of pain

we need revival in Jesus’ name

sing with me, children of the king

let our praises rise and let them ring

up to the heavens, above the clouds

Jesus rain revival down

where’s that new life in how we live?

where’s the sacrifice when we give?

lukewarm or lazy, it’s all the same

we need revival in Jesus’ name
