Lead Me On
04:09

Well it's hard to know where to start
What man can even know his own wicked heart?
Well there's a bad moon rising and the clouds are hanging low
So let it fall let it burn this old world can't stand long
Take me by the hand Lord
Lead Me On
Those who know don't dare speak
Those who do are no longer free
They say pride comes before a fall
I'm ready to leave this old world in fact I'm nearly gone
Take me by the hand Lord
Lead Me On
To every beginning there is an end
There's devil's forsaking life and madmen praising sin
So let the fire and the brimstone fall from above
I've seen it in my dreams I'm on a mount all alone
Take me by the hand Lord
Lead Me On

I Will Go
02:52

If I should stumble, If I should fall
Don't forsake me Lord, let me heed your call
And take my hand, Your way is the only way I'll ever know
If you should send me out Lord
I will Go
Through the storms of life, through the fire and rain
In the midnight hour, hear me when I call your name
And hold me fast , No matter how hard the wind may blow
If you should send me out Lord
I will Go
I'll take my place and let you lead
There's so many sheep to feed
So speak to me, Supply me with the seed to sow
If you should send me out Lord
I will Go

Unforgiven Land
03:26
|
|||
|
All the pretty faces and the many places that I've never cared to see
The hollow idols and the false titles don't mean a thing to me
But the fields have all gone bare and there's famine everywhere
The foundations built will no longer stand
Life is hard in an unforgiving land
The bell's are tolling but we keep on rolling on through the night
The moon's howling and the rooster's prowling through the city lights
But the rivers have all run dry and the children have started to cry
And there's no one here to lend you a hand
Life is hard in an unforgiving land
Well I gave all my time and I don't have a dime to show for it
The visions of you and all the people I once knew I've had to forget
All the good times that we had God knows it's so sad
Things never turn out the way you planned
Life is hard in an unforgiving land

If You Want Me To
03:08
|
|||
|
If you asked me to stay there'd be no other way I would stay
And if you asked me to be there, no matter where I'd be there
Because you know that it's true
I'd do anything if you want me to
Now if you wanna move to the hills just to see how it feels I'd be there
And if you asked me to stay there'd be no other way I would stay
Because you know that it's true
I'd do anything if you want me to
Now if you wanna let me down then I'll be around for you I'll be around
And if you want me to be there no matter where I'd be there
Because you know that it's true
I'd do anything if you want me to

Walkin' In The Spirit
03:51
|
|||
|
Jesus Lord have mercy on me
A sinner that's now been freed
Freed from chains, freed from sin
Freed from the wicked heart within
So if you live in the Spirit
Ooh, You got to walk
Here I sit in the visions of the night
And with my pen I start to write
Write of the things you've shown to me
Write of the things you did on Calvary
So if you live in the Spirit
Ooh, You got to walk
I strum my strings to the tune of the spheres
And as I play I begin to shed tears
Tears for what you did on the cross
For I've been saved where once I was lost
So if you live in the Spirit
Ooh, You got to walk

The Good Shepherd
04:43
|
|||
|
After the food was eaten the thief was betraying
As they walked in the night the Master bid them to hark
The Shepherd led His sheep and they started a-singing
In Gethsemane's garden where the hour was dark
So what voice is that you claim to know
When we speak of joy, death, love, and sin
For the hour has come for us to follow
The one who laid His life down and took it back again
The soldier's came marching with torches a-flashing
The Lord said "I AM" and they fell to the ground
With a kiss the betrayer sealed the Lord's passion
And none of the scattered sheep could be found
So what voice is that you claim to know
When we speak of joy, death, love, and sin
For the hour has come for us to follow
The one who laid His life down and took it back again
They mocked Him and scourged Him with voices a-wailing
They cried crucify Him on Calvary's Hill
But weep for yourselves for there will be no availing
For all was done according to the Father's will
So what voice is that you claim to know
When we speak of joy, death, love, and sin
For the hour has come for us to follow
The one who laid His life down and took it back again

Ramblin' Hobo
02:30
|
|||
|
See the white lines of the road at night and it makes me come alive
And wherever I'm at you know I might as well be gone
I walk by faith not sight and it keeps me surviving
So when I finally get to you don't expect me to stay too long
Cause I'm rambling along
I've got no place to be only places to go
My baby says I'm crazy my mama says I'm lazy
I'm just a ramblin' hobo
Blackbird sings in the morning light and it stirs my aching head
I stumble up to my feet and am blinded by the sun
Pack my bags and say my prayers upon this big brass bed
Kiss this sweet lady and tell her that I must be moving on
Now I'm rambling along
I've got no place to be only places to go
My baby says I'm crazy my mama says I'm lazy
I'm just a ramblin' hobo
Sometimes I go out in the field where the wind blows soft and easy
She starts to speak to me and I get that feeling within
And in the twilight there I start to slowly sway with the daisies
She says if you want more you got to get on the road again
So I'm rambling along
I've got no place to be only places to go
My baby says I'm crazy my mama says I'm lazy
I'm just a ramblin' hobo

Woman
04:02

Taken from my side, one with me
And in the garden you were deceived
But I followed you I took the fruit
Cause' you were my only one you were my truth
Cause' I need you Woman
I want you Woman
I got to have you Woman
Woman Deliver Me!
Mother of all, Giver of Life
Bringing Peace Bringing Strife
But death can't conquer man as long as he has you
Cause' you are his only one you are his truth
Cause' he needs you Woman
He's got to have you Woman
He wants you Woman
Woman Deliver Me!
Blessed art thou, You've found favor in God's sight
The Most High will overshadow you and from you will come the Light
Can't you see I need you Woman
I want you Woman
I got to have you Woman
Woman Deliver Me!

Some Sweet Day
03:25
|
|||
|
Now the sun is sinking low
Down in the valley you'll go
For many years you've walked that long and narrow way
But we all have our time
Still it's hard to say goodbye
But I will see you again Some Sweet Day
Yes, some sweet day we'll stand
At the Pearly Gates of the Promise Land
Where all our sorrows and tears will be wiped away
And all will be right
For the Lamb shall be the light
And I will see you again Some Sweet Day
There will be days of doubt
Days when I'll think about
All those times for me you would kneel and pray
But in the twinkling of an eye
We'll be changed in the sweet bye and bye
And I will see you again Some Sweet Day
Yes, some sweet day we'll stand
At the Pearly Gates of the Promise Land
Where all our sorrows and tears will be wiped away
And all will be right
For the Lamb shall be the light
And I will see you again Some Sweet Day
