The Awakening
Precious Lord take my hand lead me on make me stand
for I am weak, tired & worn
Through the storms you are there
Your words are to pray but you want us to rest to
Hearts will unfold to the message of your amazing grace
Illumination
tears, thoughts & prayer
I shed a tear to numb my inner pain
Inside we hide behind a squeaky wheel
thorns, nails & sword
We have to obey his precious word
a beacon of light to a hurting world in need
The search for truth
among the blackened stench of the aroma in society
Fake freaks from hell with a damned story to tell
they are zombies searching for answers out of a garbage can
Hysteria
paranoid message of hateful lust
Never claiming in God we trust
a challenge to be free is a question of time
Love should be the essence of one's existence
yet we have exchanged it for fake Hollywood lust
Let us look above to the heavenly love
merciful one come take this chip off my shoulder
Stop the senseless fighting before are nation grows colder
the senseless slaughter in the mothers womb is cold bloody murder
We have to reflect before we proceed any further
they handwriting is on the wall to warn the no it all
