Those Demons they ain’t mine
I done drank the blood turned wine
and I know you’re on my mind
Deep down the gold SO hard to find
One word from you and I’m flying
Walk away and I’ll be crying
That ole Devil he been lying
And still I am trying
Restore my soul, restore my soul
Joy of thy salvation
Joy of thy salvation
I don’t need no sympathy
Holy Ghost
Held my breath right through the tunnel
I’m not giving in again
Greater is he that is in you
Beginning and the end
I took the sword from off the mantle
the shotgun over the door
Gonna do some demon hunting
Don’t want them coming round here no more
Restore my soul, restore my soul
Joy of thy salvation
Joy of thy salvation
I don’t need no sympathy
Holy Ghost

You Go On

Country Girl hold my beer
I’m not afraid the end is near
Prepper state of living fear
Gonna change a lot this coming year
I see you creep I see you crawl
I gave a bit, but some gave all
Empires rise the truth and lies
And Empires also fall
you go on and on and on and on
Every dream is like a trance
Suicide I missed my chance
You were my only second glance
And now I’m all alone
you go on and on and on and on
Little country town
With sidewalks Barney Fife
window shop stores
Popcorn Sunday night
Bleach Blond hand me downs
Rust red yellowed blues
Front porch picker playing
Time just ticks away
you go on and on and on and on

Guitars Girls American Guns
Red White and True These Colors don’t run
Brown Eyes Blue Eyes Red Neck Sun
Amazing Grace and Forever Young
These Fields of Green and Forests of Brown
From one sea to the next we won’t back down
Some people against some people are for
The neighborhood kids are playing at war
Right Now Americas Still Free
Grandaddy’s farm and that house in the city
Mountains and streams and the lake so pretty
I go where I please This country’s still free
You can still be all you wanna be
Our Father who art in heaven hollowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
And give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil
For Thine is the kingdom and the power

Holy Water

Bugs are crawling on my skin
I feel afraid once again
I want to get out all I can
before I reached the end
what I feel and what I desire
standing naked in this fire
I'm low so low but getting higher
is there any way out of here alive
I've tried the needle the spoon the smoke
been painted pierced and almost choked
exposed myself what do you care
abuse me use me leave me here for dead
the voice is screaming inside my head
do you believe that stuff you said
about God about God about God
stood in the doorway you wouldn't let me in
you painted a picture of my sin
but then you always have to win
I feel the finger as you point at me again
holy holy these Jeans of mine
you take the cup I drink the wine
you break the bread I cannot dine
you go in peace I will in time.
lost and found and almost drowned
IN YOUR HOLY WATER

Left right left right left right

Bottles full of problems to escape

Everyone can see we're in a fix
what's done is done
those pills were tricks

You Make Me Whole

Sky such a blue sky
Try how we do try
to know what's going on
to know that we belong
to keep ourselves from wrong
we sing this song
for how long
how long
fall for the king fall
call as we sing call
oh that the deaf would hear
the death would lose its fear
let that Kingdom come here
wipe the tear draw so near
so near
scream with your youth and voice scream
dream with your youth and voice dream
about the days ahead
the words that you have said
the road the past has led
those once living now living dead
scarred hands blood blood so red
washed white as snow
washed white as snow
you make me whole you make me whole you make me whole you make me whole you make me whole
pick me up

Joyful Noise
03:07
|

Lay down my guns
still a dangerous man
slaying Dragons and beasts
with these bare hands
no power against me
in the gap I stand
with this carbon guitar
Lord guide my hands
sing a song maybe two
let my heart bleed for you
believe in hope and faith for love
that love will see us through
no spirit against me
no enemy before
no weapons forged by skin and bone
can help me win the war
there is a day a’coming
When the Saints shall sing again
wine will turn to water
we will walk in a new skin
tears of rain will change us
Time shall be no more
we shall sing together
glorify the lord
Make A Joyful Noise unto the Lord

So Mote It Be

West bound pocket full of dreams
You live the songs or so it seems
Water cold from mountain
streams
Great commission said to go
You talk a lot but you don’t know
I seen the blood and water flow
Just close your eyes
The ground will drink your blood
And Your soul will fly away
Cyborg garden flowers thorns
Ran right through by Texas horns
She wakes n bakes n sits
and morns
Loss creates a river of tears
You don’t forget through the years
Bitterness and foolish
fears
The ground will drink your blood
And Your soul will fly away
Stainless shameless and complete
All the strangers on the street
But I found you and you
found me
I wish you’d stay another night
Lord bathe us in Thy holy light
Said I would and I just
I just might
The ground will drink your blood
And Your soul will fly away
Forever forever
Forever forever
Forever forever
Forever
So Mote It Be
