Stay of Execution
Strong is your hold, oh mortal flesh And now I've fallen to you again Mighty's the faith that overcomes But somehow you always seem to win Stay of execution Stay of execution On the straight and narrow path of life The word always comes to lift me up Brings me to my feet when I fall But you lie in waiting to bring me down Stay of execution Stay of execution And so the struggle still goes on Between the spirit and the flesh Knowing His Word will make me strong For the tormenting of my flesh Stay of execution...

Turning away Seeing the light I vanquish the dark And conquer the night River of anger is rapidly flowing Mind keeps unleashing its poison Diverted directions where words become weapons Bitterness sown, deep hatred and malice Reach deep in my soul Through the windows of my eyes Distorted views on what beauty may be Mind goes to work on these impurities Over and over my faint heart has failed I cross to the dark side and search for the key... I'm tempted to judge every book by its cover Fail to consider the spirit within Give me the heart of the nail torn lover The bloodied and battered forgiver of sin Reach deep in my soul Through the windows of my eyes Reach deep in my soul...

A crime of the mind, it's a terrible thing to waste A sign of the times when mine is feeling out of place Could it be that it's me who's a victim of society's plan New stage - big change, a wave of the Savior's hand Words to the wise and the poor of spirit Words to those whose thoughts are clear Words to those who have the ear to hear it Words to the ones drawing near I walk away when they say that my Lord and my God is dead When they kneel they reveal that they worship an idea instead Getting caught in the thoughts of a nation selling lies We are chained to the game of ignorance epitomized The mind and the time lie in the embryonic state To reveal and conceal as we're learning how to love and hate Laying waste as we taste of the fruit of the poisoned tree Guiltless lamb come again breaks the chains And to set us free A crime of the mind, a terrible thing to waste Now I know why I'm so helplessly out of place Sin undone, kingdom come, cause this world is not my home Cast my lot, food for thought, words of wisdom of a life atoned...

Unfortunate souls will often say We need to cling to yesterday An evil there or light to see Gives of hope of what might be Faith gathered from "once was" Hope gathered from "once was" Peace gathered from "once was" Love gathered from "once was" I dream the past, the burning bridges Old photographs, discarded pages Unanswered prayers, the childhood endings The bitter tears, the new beginnings The life and times of a child alone Searching for love in the cold unknown Soul beat and scarred with the truth in sight The lessons he's learned in the darkest night I dream of youth and unrequited love There lies the truth, in what once was And through it all I see at last The Saviour's hand and all that's past Memory is clear, Saviour drawing near Feel my heart embraced, see desire's face Here my soul will rest The answered prayers, the childhood endings The bitter tears, the new beginnings The new beginnings...
Hard not to get caught in the world and Its thoughts when this mad world keeps Blocking your view Through a slap in the face or a kiss concealed hatred Reality keeps pushing through Keeps pushing through But what do you win if you gain the world And lose your own soul? Selfishness reigns where there is no one kind Though most of the time it's not me Now and again I'm the center of light and This selfmonger longs to be free... But what do you win if you gain the world And lose your own soul? Segueways of illusion invade while I'm sleeping Come vision to taunt me again Where am I going, what am I becoming? A selfmonger dying within Dying in sin...
(Terry Taylor/Jerry Chamberlain) Act I He turns the t.v. high, the walls are paper thin He hopes the neighbor folks aren't listening He's killed his wife with words, confident it's private rage When up goes the curtain and he is on the stage He's on the stage God sees it all He has total recall It is an art Hiding murder in your heart ACT 2 The show is over, he pours himself a drink Best to forget about it, put a record on The stereo and try not to think And the record plays: This is your life, you beat your wife We'll spare the gory details and simply say? Recording artist Gods hears it all He has total recall Your sneaky moves Are right here in the grooves Act 3 He puts his car in gear, got to get out of here Going somewhere far away But through the headlight beams He sees the billboard screen His fight last night is on display You're on display God sees it all He has total recall Your bloody crime Is up there on the sign

Sunlight is pouring all over me The cracks in the window blinds Tell me I'm free But in the night when fear paralyzes Allowing no pathway to see Weighted eyes close and blood pressure rises I'm traveling where this slumber leads Into the dark, crawl inside your mind To worlds hidden by night Visions and nightmares, or just another dream? One step away from the light They say to ignore most of what I might find there, I fear I'll Spend most of my time there Dream control is so hard to achieve Mastered through some evil scheme There is one way followed without fear Make Jesus the Lord of your dreams Out of the dark and into the light...

Slaves to the King of Kings And slaves to love Steer the ship by the sweat Of our brow and beat of the drum War against sin with the weapons of our unity Right on the mark with a love for humanity Building up to ramming speed... The power of God is ramming speed... The sea is raging, there's the enemy ahead On fiery waters float the bodies of the dead... We count our casualties, but we'll never stop Set the captives free with a strike against the enemy We'll live to tell the tale of bravery and gallantry Building up to ramming speed... The power of God is ramming speed... [repeat 1st verse]

The fleeting hours of mourning come But soon pass away The thought of laying 'neath a slab Seems an unenticing gray Life as it is, life as it was The difference in dark and light The only way to truly live is to Let my flesh die... Romans 6 tells me I'm a slave A slave of righteousness My carnal mind tells me From sin there will be no rest Because of sacrificial rights I now stand not condemned Once a slave to mortality I now reckon myself dead... I've reckoned myself dead I've been entombed... Knowing this, that our old man Was crucified with him That the body of sin might be done away with We should no longer be enslaved to sin We are not to live as the damned...

Imaginations running wild Innocent they seem Polluting your mind A formulated scheme The battle; it starts in your mind A lesson to be learned Provoking thoughts only cause the sin That provoking thoughts have earned Cast down imaginations of every high thing That dare exalts itself against the knowledge of God The weapons of our warfare Powerful they are No nuclear warfare attacks can bring these strongholds down To take dominion over Satan's own ground Rise up with the sword of God and put your armor on And the weapons of our warfare aren't carnal Imaginations running wild Innocent they seem They've polluted your mind The formulated scheme The battle; it started in your mind A lesson to be learned Provoking thoughts only caused the sin That provoking thoughts have earned Cast down imaginations of every high thing That dare exalts itself against the knowledge of God
