A MIRROR IS HARDER TO HOLD

You could stay awhile longer We could stay up and talk about last summer We could go down to the water Watch the sunset going under It's not that I'm a stranger to lonely moments I've had my share of those - Chorus - Please don't go, please don't leave me alone A mirror's so much harder to hold I could try and point the finger But the glass points in my direction Sure you've got your sharp edges But my wounds are from my own reflection You've got nothing I could ever hold against you I got fatal flaws to call my own - Chorus - Please don't go, please don't leave me alone A mirror is so much harder to hold I met a man who's looking for perfection Said he never met a girl who's good enough His eyes are getting old, like they'd love to love again Such a lonely man, such a lonely man I see him in my reflection Taking steps towards me these days So I hold you that much closer And pray we don't throw this away It's not that I'm a man who couldn't love you I know what these arms are for Please don't go, please don't leave me alone A mirror is so much harder to hold Please don't go, please don't leave me cold A mirror is so much harder to hold
RESURRECT ME

It takes a long time to kill a man Fifty-five years at least Until he breaks down Starts to look underground To go off and get him some peace I want to die a lot quicker than that If my it's my only way out I've been counting up the costs Getting up on that cross I want to know what this all about - Chorus - Father Time, Steals our days, Like a thief. There's no price that I wouldn't pay, To get some relief I've become an empty shell, Of a man I don't like so well I am a living, breathing hell, Come on and resurrect me I tried to drown the pain with a friend of mine It didn't seem to help Ah she's got a pretty face With her wedding lace But I'm still waking up with myself I know what it means to choke it down Up, down till your legs get weak I know what it's like on a Saturday night To be alone on a crowded street - Chorus - Father Time, Steals our days, Like a thief. There's no price that I haven't paid, To get some relief I've become a shell of a man, I can't begin to even understand, Have I forgotten who I am? Come on and resurrect me Resurrect me Come on and resurrect me
DEEP IN YOUR EYES (THERE IS A RIVER)

There's a river underneath us It's been looking for you There's a river in my veins It's been looking for truth There's a river in our blood From our fathers on through I see you looking for the ocean honey There is a river in you - Chorus - It's deep in your eyes There is a river Deep in your eyes The river runs Deep in your eyes Deep in your eyes There is a river in your eyes I can see your eyes moving Looking down towards the shore You've been searching for substance You've been searching for more I can see your eyes moving They've been twisting around You've been looking for something honey That you haven't yet found - Chorus - It's deep in your eyes There lies a river Deep in your eyes Your river runs Deep in your eyes Deep in your eyes I see a river Are you ready to run? There is a river in your eyes There is a river in your eyes
INSTEAD OF A SHOW

I hate all your show and pretense The hypocrisy of your praise The hypocrisy of your festivals I hate all your show Away with your noisy worship Away with your noisy hymns I stop up my ears when you're singing them I hate all your show - Chorus - Instead let there be a flood of justice An endless procession of righteous living, living Instead let there be a flood of justice Instead of a show Your eyes are closed when you're praying You sing right along with the band You shine up your shoes for services But there's blood on your hands You've turned your back on the homeless And the ones who don't fit in your plan Quit playing religion games There's blood on your hands Let's argue this out If your sins are blood red Let's argue this out You'll be white as the clouds Let's argue this out Quit fooling around Give love to the ones who can't love at all Give hope to the ones who got no hope at all Stand up for the ones who can't stand at all All I hate all your show Instead of a show I hate all your show
THE HOUSE OF GOD FOREVER

God is my shepherd I won't be wanting I won't be wanting He makes me rest In fields of green With quiet streams Even though I walk Through the valley Of death and dying I will not fear Cause you are with me You are with me Your shepherd's staff comforts me You are my feast In the presence of enemies Surely goodness will follow me Follow me In the house of God forever God is my shepherd I won't be wanting I won't be wanting He makes me rest In fields of green By quiet streams Even while I'm walking Through the valley Of death and dying I will not fear Cause you are with me You're always with me Your shepherd's staff comforts me You are my feast In the presence of enemies Surely goodness will follow me Follow me In the house of God forever In the house of God forever In the house of God forever
AGAIN

Oh Lord, God of our fathers This day let it be known That you Lord, are God of the present tense Oh Lord, Father of history This day, let it be known That you Lord, are present in our human events - Chorus - Answer me oh Lord Let your people know That you're turning the hearts back to you Turning the hearts back to you You are turning the hearts back to you Again Again Holy, Holy You alone are true Holy, Holy You alone are true Turn us back towards you - Chorus - Answer me oh God Let your people know That you're turning the hearts back to you Turning the hearts back to you You are turning the hearts back to you Again
