There's a place outside of Memphis Where I met the travelin' man Preachin' on a wall of sound Built by his ragin' band I saw a sparkle in his eye When I asked him for his name He said Dr. Jones is who I am Are You ready to play my game I can take you to the mountain But only heavens love can set you free Dr. Jones & The Kings Of Rhythm Dr. Jones He's a rhythm king Dr. Jones & The Kings Of Rhythm Tearin' darkness down with a ragin' swing Townsfolk wouldn't hear the Doc And they drove him Out Of town He'd shake the dust right off his feet And leave without a sound But you know he spoke the truth to me Gave me reason to believe Tell it round the whole wide world I'll I never be the same Well he took me to the mountain But it was heaven's love that set me free And he wonders if each trial Is really worth each dusty mile Every night He dreams right through the pain He smiles He knows he labors not in vain Isaiah 61:1 / Luke 10:10-11 / I Corinthians 15:58

Shoeshine Johnny's just doin' time Settin' up shop at the five and dime Seen a whole lot of miles... got a few more to go Everyone says he's a humble man Tell ya bout life like no one can With a wink and a smile he'd let ya know All kinda people come from miles around Just to hear Johnny tell his stories Talk about the days gone by Talkin' bout future glory Round round round lie goes Tell you how the good Lord knows He'd be shinin' most every day Sit right down listen what he says Some like to play with fire But there's a love that's higher And you know the Lord's been good to me for sure Hard times can come and go But one thing for sure I know When I die The richest man I'll be Lookin' back I remember the times laughin-and-a-jokin-and-a-feelin fine Ol' Johnny pick You up when you're feelin' low His words hang on in my memory The dusty Ol' book that he read to me Even now I'm grown they speak to me What gains a man to win the world But lose his very soul Riches of the Promised Land Much better than silver and gold Oh how wise is he that makes the Lord his company Fearless of the days to come Knowin' that the battles won Listen son lie said to me Jesus died to set us free You're old enough it's time to chose With the Lord you'll never lose Beat them everlasting blues Proverbs 29:23 / Matthew 11:25 / Revelation 22:12

I was five years old They came and took my daddy away Momma said he'll be back home a year from today I know you're young but I hope you understand These are the kind of things that happen to a man I see her talkin' but I can't hear nothin' Sweet salvation cover me Take me where I long to be Pick me up and carry me Oh I need your love It's such a long way home Even though I fall sometimes Nothin' here can change my mind Lord I need your love It's such a long way home Daddy cried Boy you'd better come home right now Momma's gone Sickness took her down I know you're young But I hope you understand these are the kind of things that happen to a man I see him talkin' but I don't hear nothin' Lookin' round but I can't see I touch fear but I feel nothin' Sweet salvation cover me All this pain locked up inside of me On my knees I prayed you'd set me free I know you hurt But I really do understand I'm the one who held your pain when I became a man Speak to me so I hear something turn my eyes so I can see You touch fear and I feel something Sweet salvation cover me Jeremiah 17:14 / Psalm 116:6 / Proverbs 13:12

I was alone without a love to show me Been down so many empty roads in my time looking for a reason to live my life Your love and your tenderness means everything to me You know you're all I want you're my reason to believe I've been around enough to know I found love when you walked through my door Since you came into my life you took away my broken heart All my days spent searching for that rainbow I've spent some lonely nights trying to find a reason to live my life Your love is pouring down on me like sweet summer rain Your love is like the sweetest song all of heaven sings your name I lie awake at night and thank you for your love all the times that you carried me When my world had come undone I can feel my love for you Growin' stronger day by day And everything you are to me is more than words can say Psalm 31:7 / Song of Songs 8:7 / Psalm 57:16

Looking back at my old school I think of the things that I used to do and I remember those crazy days gone by Sometimes I wish I could go back in time be changin' what was then But after everything's been said and done I'm glad you are my friend And it's a sweet mystery that you love me like you do Oh it's a sweet mystery to me Little boy that my mama knew became a full grown man I live my life like you taught me to you know I try the best that I can And your tender love is so much more than the naked eye can see When my daddy said I love you boy you know it meant the world to me

Let your love roll on let it roll Things you've given to me may I never let them go Let your love roll on let it roll Keep that river flowin' give me power in my soul Wheels spinnin' round and round never seem touch the ground You can't stop what's set in motion Rivers flow into the ocean... Love Like the raging of the sea from the deep you rescued me In a world that's goin' crazy lines are gettin' hazy Lord your truth is crystal clear to me Forever is a highway Lord you bring me through Take me down the road that leads to you You opened up my eyes to see the riches of your majesty Love is flowin' down on me Your peace is like a river runnin' free Forever is a highway shinin' ever new Take me down the road that, leads to you Psalm 36:5-6 / Romans 15:13 / Psalm 46

With the setting of the sun something wicked this way comes Black on black got a wicked stride Hounds of Hell are by his side Feeding on the lusts of man Shake him off but he's back again Promises and hidden dreams Oh how sweet your poison seems You are the tempter of my soul Do Wrong Mister Do Wrong Don't you whisper in my ear tryin' to sing your love song I know it's sweet like honey on my lips but I know who you are Death is on your fingertips and everything you do is wrong Demons seed by the light of the moon Hell I bent... he's on your door Pull an ace... a crazy face Serpent chase ... the lion roars Promises that break like glass lead You down the crooked path Turn you around Steal your soul without a Sound You are the enemy of old One for the money Two for the show Here's something you all gotta know Wrongdoers fail The right prevail Darkness crushed by three small nails With the rising of the son the chains of death have come undone So ring the bell both loud and deep the Lord ain't dead nor does he sleep I Peter 5:8 / Isaiah 14:12 / Colossians 2:13-15

In younger days it seemed to me growin' old could never be all the crazy games we used to play Levitating something more sliding on the devil bored candles burning all the mystery Mirror Mirror on the wall who's gonna catch me when I fall Don't you know that it's more than it seems You say it's only curiosity Ally Ally Oxen Free never meant a lot to me Can't hide nothing at all Play with fire you'll get burned Seems some people never learn curiosity killed the cat Superstitions fill your mind don't know where to draw the line a religion of a different kind Tellin' futures with a card Make a wish upon a star Lady Luck is just a thin disguise Well it was not last night but the night before twenty four robbers knockin' on my door Step on a crack break your mamas back Catch a tiger by the toe I'm never goin' back Deuteronomy 18:10-11 / Ecclesiastes 12:14 1 Corinthians 13:11

Runnin' like a freight train Burnin' down the miracle mile I was rollin' like a hurricane turned my head when I saw her smile Well I've been around the world and I've seen a lot of things but it all seems crazy and don't mean a thing Without your love I'm lost in the dark Her fire's burning inside my heart In the light she comes to me takes the weight of the world from my shoulders Turns my eyes to see the light in a dark world turning Sister Wisdom Shine your light on me You're hard to find but easy to see I gotta tell ya I just can't believe all the things that you've done for me She sings a smoky torch song She burns a candle in the night Her ways of truth are so strong She lifts me up as my life goes by Sister Wisdom Shine your light on me Sister Wisdom I gotta tell ya I just can't believe all the things that you've done for me Proverbs 1:20-21 / Proverbs 4:6-9 / Proverbs 7:4

He was a captain Flew a silver sail Playing a wind song like a part of the sea He followed the sunshine Charted the stars Like a part of the ocean... a part of the sea And what he did not fear was the journey Or the treasures left behind And he did not run from the answer What he did not hear were the lies He told a story Sailed through storms Painted a picture lived in the scenes Some say he was crazy living in a dream But he sailed with a reason out on a crystal sea And what he did not fear didn't hurt him What he did not seek didn't find And he would not run from the answers What he did not hear were the lies Sail on captain sail on Let your guiding light lead you cross the ocean And though his eyes were old He saw much more than men could see Now even though he's gone His legacy lives on a simple faith that takes me cross the sea And home again As the stormy sea keeps ragin' on Sometimes I miss my home Take me home I can feel it when the wind blows and I hear you call my name Take me home I've been away too long Take me home let your spirit lead me on And until that day I'll try and live just like the captain Hebrews 11:1 / Isaiah 26:3 / Psalm 139:9-10

Did you find that loneliness came When you lost your only love And you didn't know which way to turn The nights were cold and the days were long And you never knew when a real love would come to you All the times that you laughed All the times that you cried You never expected love to leave you behind Through the years I've been more than I friend I was there from the start and I'll be here till the end Do you know what love is Can you feel what love is Do you know what love Do you know what love Love is Deeper than emotion Comin' stronger than all devotion Do you know what love Do you know what love Love is Deeper than the ocean Those days are over Now it's time to carry on Now you know which road to choose There is no harder lesson learned Than finding your way alone So I'm reaching my hand out to you All of your I life I've been more than a friend I was there from start and I'll be here till the end I want to show you one love that is true Won't you open your heart My love is for you
