Bride
Album • 1997
If I were a ship on the ocean would You throw me a sail If I were locked away in a prison would You pay my bail If I were thirsty in the desert would You give me a drink Naked on the scorching street would You walk right over me If I had no place to sleep would You give me your bed If I were a stranger in a strange land would You leave me for dead If I were nailed to a cross would You scream save yourself If I became the curse would You remove the nails I love You I love You I love You I love You To the least of these You done to me -To the least of these To the least of these You done to me -To the least of these If I live in a glass house would You throw me a stone If I asked for only meat would You give me the bone If I asked for a fish would You hand me a snake If I begged for a single egg would You say just live by faith

You don't know how it feels to be me To be sitting on the edge dangling my feet Wondering if God would give His angels charge If I was feeling small If my mind was growing large I am the worm crawling through your head I am the worm crawling through your head You don't know how it feels to be me Having all these faces looking in to see Their eyes are white lit just like a torch To burn my soul which is thin and which is worn I am the worm crawling through your head I am the worm crawling through your head I am the worm crawling through your head I am the worm crawling through your head Take my life Take my life Take my life Before I take it myself You don't know how it feels to be me To be a poet nailed to this tree Where are my accusers those who ridicule Those who have learned to hate and curse this silly fool

The sun shined through poking holes in the sky Like cigarette burns on the bed sheet Sound the horn step down with a shout The earth and the sun are gonna burn out Til the end Til the end of the world I'll be with You Til the end Til the end of the world I'll be with You Sold her soul to pay the rent And the baby won't stop crying Take my life before I take it myself Because today she feels like dying Til the end Til the end of the world I'll be with You Til the end Til the end of the world I'll be with You She drops acid to find God Falling angels roaming through her head He has a handgun he calls Christ Say they like talking With the dead Looking at the ceiling when she saw the sky Saw a door open the light burned her eyes Spirit moved through the mulberry trees Hold onto Jesus don't hold onto me

Deny yourself die to the flesh No conceit - pride of life Law of grace - serve in love Wait for hope of righteousness Pluck out my eyes - my sight to You Walk a mile - I'll walk two Turn my cheek - state of grace I have left all If I live - I live - I live for You If I die - I die - I die for You If I live - I live - I live for You So I speak with tongues of angels Speak with wisdom of men Give my body to be born Without love I am sin Deny yourself die to the flesh No conceit - pride of life Law of grace - serve in love Wait for hope of righteousness Give me life liberty I want to be free Give me life liberty I want to be free

I'm a man given to much prayer Never been tempted by strong drink I'm not afraid to call Jesus Lord I have no fear of the fires below And if you break my spine You can't break my will Try to strip me of my gift My reward - you can't steal Eat with the sinners they might be saints Beautiful are the feet that obey How shall they believe if I'm not sent A man forsakes his childish ways And if you break my spine You can't break my will Try to strip me of my gift My reward Follow me I know the way I am saying what no one will say Follow me follow me I dip this pen into my heart Write from my soul If ink were blood I'd be still and cold Follow me I know the way I am saying what no one will say Follow me follow me

Tell me Tell me - is this what you want Tell me - is that what you meant Tell me - what is rolling off my tongue Tell me - sugar coated from my lips I don't ever I don't ever Want to feel this way again I don't ever I don't ever What to feel this way again Tell me Tell me - would you rather hear me scream Tell me - or preach the word to you Tell me - spoon fed choke it down Tell me - will I ever get through Tell me Tell me - am I living in prophecy Tell me - the worlds so sad and ugly Tell me - let me help you to your feet Tell me - no one's gracious in defeat

The cross You wear The lips that swear The heart that tears apart The do's and dare's The troubled shared The pain that causes want The arm of flesh The kiss of death The infant sings of resurrect Eyes that lust Love waxed in rust Finally rest in earth's sweet dust Bless the ones who persecute Love those who hate you Bless the ones who persecute Love those who hate you Who are the enemies of the cross And who finds it a stumbling block Who can endure despising and shame On the instrument of pain Promises kept and Jesus wept All four corners have been swept To each his own We should have known That Father God would call His children home Bless the ones who persecute Love those who hate you Bless the ones who persecute Love those who hate you

Born into iniquity No one is immune Die to the grave Everyone the same One race the human race It's no discrimination One race the human race It's moral deterioration Hate mongers Know no peace Chaotic minds Swim in blood One race the human race It's no discrimination One race the human race It's moral deterioration Who will stand In the end Except the ones Who are called by Him

Voices haunting me accusing me from within They are present with me making me behave Spirit never condemns never talks to himself Spirit never condemns never talks to himself I hear a word I hear a word resting on me I hear a word I hear a word resting on me Inspired In my selfishness my pride did swell I must learn to serve in all humility In the valley of darkness I never stopped to rest Cleansed by the word washed by the blood

Religious fanatics and their cosmic Christ Spin doctors liberating giving life Authenticity judges the politically correct Denominational axe grinds the spirit from the flesh Lost divinity in disguise Goddess in embryo to materialize Fuming fundamentalists hungry liaty Cannibalistic naturalist proving fallacy Burden of proof lies in legitimate faith Read between the lines of saving grace Lost divinity in disguise Goddess in embryo to materialize Cut to the bone how deep it goes Cut to the bone blood flows Lost divinity in disguise Goddess in embryo to materialize Rejection of supernatural truth Domesticated academic agnostic fools Theologians with the promises of politics Counter-cultural wisdom rhetoric Lost divinity in disguise Goddess in embryo to materialize
I looked back to see it all Like a moth to the flame Stopped pushing pulled my hand from the plow I looked back looked down Embraced the world - closed my soul Looked back - looked back - looked down Looked back - looked back - looked down One last glance at the world I know Looked back - looked back - looked down Looked back - looked back - looked down All my sins forgiven me Except the sin of apology* Holy Ghost I do swear Like a sound in the air Embraced the world - closed my soul Looked back - looked back - looked down Looked back - looked back - looked down One last glance at the world I know Looked back - looked back - looked down Looked back - looked back - looked down To forgive is a must Give and it will be given to you Good measure pressed down Shaken together and running over you Embraced the world - closed my soul Looked back - looked back - looked down Looked back - looked back - looked down One last glance at the world I know Looked back - looked back - looked down Looked back - looked back - looked down
