She Likes Blue
She likes blue
Like the sapphire on her finger
Or the mustang I was driving
When I met her
She likes sunset
More than she likes sunrise
Hard to open her eyes
In the morning
She hears laughter
In the voices of her children
Like the leaves before they say hello
To winter
She loves me
Though I’ll never understand it
Oh I never could have planned it
A life so good
She likes blue

Dogwood
I can look into your eyes and still not understand
What it is you’re thinking about
That’s ok, ‘cause I don’t really need to know
I can look into the skies and still not understand
Why the God of heaven calls us out
That’s ok, ‘cause I don’t really need to know
Breathe in
As the daylight goes
Breathe in
As the dogwood grows
I have heard it said that you cannot change the world
But I hope you don’t mind if I disagree
For you have already changed me
Somewhere near or distant life changes in an instant
When one person takes the opportunity
Just to listen and share amazing grace, so
Breathe in
As the daylight goes
Breathe in
As the dogwood grows
Can you save a life just by giving up a smile
Break the darkness with a glance
Every room has a place where light can come in
Changing our existence to princesses and princes
Gathered for the dance
Will you join me in this circumstance, and we can
Breathe in
As the daylight goes
Breathe in
As the dogwood grows
(repeat x3)
I can look into your eyes and still not understand
What it is you’re thinking about
That’s ok, ‘cause I don’t really need to know
I can look into the skies and still not understand
Why the God of heaven calls us out
That’s ok, ‘cause I don’t really need to know

Transcendence
Critics come to criticize through their sunglass darkened eyes
But truth has never been ethereal
Comics come to cut and slice as though they were someone wise
There’s no shortage of material
And I will walk on this treadmill one step at a time
Sometimes standing tall and sometimes falling off the line
You may say that I’m a sinner who does not believe in fate
You may think I’m just a spinner and file your complaint
Though I crash and though I climb, by the grace of God I'll find
Transcendence through the circumstance of time
Transcendence through the circumstance of time
Painters come to paint with colors blue and green
But art should never be seen as a ritual
Dreamers come to dream of what is yet unseen
Hearts that still hunger for the spiritual
And I will walk on this treadmill one step at a time
Sometimes standing tall and sometimes falling off the line
You may say that I’m a sinner who does not believe in fate
You may think I’m just a spinner and file your complaint
Though I crash and though I climb, by the grace of God I'll find
Transcendence through the circumstance of time
Transcendence through the circumstance of time
But hope that is seen is no hope at all
A stone that makes men stumble and a rock that makes them fall
But hope that is seen is no hope at all
A stone that makes men stumble and a rock that makes them fall
<harmonica>
And I will walk on this treadmill one step at a time
Sometimes standing tall and sometimes falling off the line
You may say that I’m a sinner who does not believe in fate
You may think I’m just a spinner and file your complaint
Though I crash and though I climb, by the grace of God I'll find
Transcendence through the circumstance of time
Transcendence through the circumstance of time
But hope that is seen is no hope at all
A stone that makes men stumble and a rock that makes them fall

The Bomb Song
Hostages, holocaust, bombs that are near
Everywhere people are living in fear
Terrorist action in every place
Everyone wondering if they are safe
Plan all your strategy build up your wall
Strengthen defenses, sound out the call
While you determine your acceptable loss
I call your attention to The Man On The Cross
Experts tell us with a turn of the wrist
All human life might cease to exist
How do you plan for a future unknown
I rest in the fact we are never alone
Plan all your strategy build up your wall
Strengthen defenses, sound out the call
While you determine your acceptable loss
I call your attention to The Man On The Cross
Now some are denying and some are distressed
Others are just plain afraid
The Shepherd And Bishop Of Souls
'Rose from the grave
Wars and their rumors, the nations descend
Pray for the people in Jerusalem
Christians are hated, many turn away
The debt of our sin in the end only Christ can repay
Plan all your strategy build up your wall
Strengthen defenses, sound out the call
While you determine your acceptable loss
I call your attention to The Man On The Cross

For Every Summer
I looked at you
And it made me wonder
Would you be the one
For every summer, fall and winter
And in the springtime I’ll thank God that you’re mine
Morning and evening, every breath that I’m breathing
You held my hand
And it made me wonder
Would we walk like this
For every summer, fall and winter
And in the springtime I’ll thank God that you’re mine
Morning and evening, every breath that I’m breathing
Through every passageway that life may bring
For every night and day I will wear your ring
I’ll wear your ring
I touched your face
And it made me wonder
Would I see your smile
For every summer, fall and winter
And in the springtime I’ll thank God that you’re mine
Morning and evening, every breath that I’m breathing
I looked at you
And it made me wonder
Would you be the one for every summer

Not Through Lovin' You
He didn’t see it coming, he only heard her cry
The sound of brakes and metal out the corner of his eye
He saw her slumping forward before his own eyes closed
He woke up in the hospital just as the daylight grows
You’ve got some livin’ left, some doin’ still to do
You’ve got some goin’ goin’ on before this life is through
I need you to hold on, I need you to pull through
You’ve got some livin’ left, I’m not through lovin’ you
His first words were how is she, they bowed their heads and said
We need to keep on prayin’, we will take you to her bed
He held her hand and through the tears he whispered I love you
I’m here and I’m not leavin’, I’m not through lovin’ you
You’ve got some livin’ left, some doin’ still to do
You’ve got some goin’ goin’ on before this life is through
I need you to hold on, I need you to pull through
You’ve got some livin’ left, I’m not through lovin’ you
Funny how the moments fly
Until time has finally run
In amazement we ask why
As though time had just begun
It did not happen all at once, a finger then a hand
Her eyes began to open like seeing light through sand
He held her and touched her hair as gently as he could
She said I’ve got some livin left, I’m not through lovin’ you
I’ve got some livin’ left, some doin’ still to do
I’ve got some goin’ goin’ on before this life is through
You helped me to hold on, You helped me to pull through
I’ve got some livin’ left, I’m not through lovin’ you
I’m not through lovin’ you

Cigarettes Dancing
Made the last shot at the buzzer twice
Pictures in the paper well they sure were nice
On the cover of a magazine that year
Now could you just give me a job please sir
For we are cigarettes dancing on the highway
Sparks hit the ground and then they fly away
Moments of glory here then gone away
We are cigarettes dancing on the highway
Put your faith in cash and stocks and bonds
Funny how the money is so quickly gone
Climbed the ladder many call success
Found the hard way it was made of glass
For we are cigarettes dancing on the highway
Sparks hit the ground and then they fly away
Moments of glory here then gone away
We are cigarettes dancing on the highway
<harmonica>
Wonder if there’s more to life than this
Wonder if there’s something that I might just have missed
Could it be that old trade deficit
Has more to do with what I give than what I get
For we are cigarettes dancing on the highway
Sparks hit the ground and then they fly away
Moments of glory here then gone away
We are cigarettes dancing on the highway
For we are cigarettes dancing on the highway
Sparks hit the ground and then they fly away
Moments of glory here then gone away
We are cigarettes dancing on the highway

Sparkle Lady
Sparkle lady you've been moving so, so fast
And I fear you're burning out
And I fear you're losing touch
But I know that in you somewhere
There's a very special girl
And I miss that girl oh so very much
You've become the kind of person
Who can say hi and not mean it
You've got so much charm but it does so much harm
I wonder at how you can't see it
Your smile's a photographic plate
It’s so easy to duplicate
But how the image fades when you’re alone
Sparkle lady you've been moving so, so fast
And I fear you're burning out
And I fear you're losing touch
But I know that in you somewhere
There's a very special girl
And I miss that girl oh so very much
Be still and listen to what you find
In the creases of your mind
You may be surprised at what you hear
The very colors we possess
Coloring our emptiness
A stained glass window
Is hard to see through
Sparkle lady you've been moving so, so fast
And I fear you're burning out
And I fear you're losing touch
But I know that in you somewhere
There's a very special girl
And I miss that girl oh so very much

Wise Men And Warriors
Our curiosity seems like such blissfulness
We want to know all of this world’s ways
We seek maturity and lose our innocence
No more yesterday, no more yesterday
Wise men and warriors dying or slain
Half of our heroes seem to be on cocaine
Many messiahs have come and have died
Jesus, you’re the only Savior alive
When I was younger, I looked to others
For my direction and needs to fulfill
But we hurt each other, I soon discovered
There was an emptiness inside me still
Wise men and warriors dying or slain
Half of our heroes seem to be on cocaine
Many messiahs have come and have died
Jesus, you’re the only Savior alive
Funny how quickly we want to leave home
Strange then how often we feel we’re alone
There is a brother who stands next to you
And did what no other hero could do
Broke His own heart under the weight of our sin
Gave up His life, but He claimed it
He claimed it again
Wise men and warriors dying or slain
Half of our heroes seem to be on cocaine
Many messiahs have come and have died
Jesus, you’re the only Savior alive

Virtual Retreat
Some folks head for the golf course, others head for home
Sometimes I go to the movies on the back row all alone
Transform my mind into the set, just walk across that line
Find myself a different soul somewhere else in time
I’m not asking for much, just a chance to rest my mind
From the troubles in my world, all the hassles that are mine
I admit that I carefully premeditate each crime
My cerebral transformation two hours at a time
I ask for your forgiveness, I confess to you this vice
I hope this explanation somehow will suffice
My feet are firmly grounded in present reality
I always will return from my virtual retreat
I’m not asking for much, just a chance to rest my mind
From the troubles in my world, all the hassles that are mine
I admit that I carefully premeditate each crime
My cerebral transformation two hours at a time
Some folks head for the golf course, others head for home
Sometimes I go to the movies on the back row all alone

The Hillside
There's a tree on the hillside
Where I used to read
The sun would go searchin'
But it would not find me
There's a creek in the valley
In the valley below
And the creek keeps on runnin'
For the springs make it so
There's a field near the creek
Where the grass grows up tall
And the field looks like waves
As the summer nears fall
There's a fence by the field
And it climbs up the hill
And it's weathered and worn
But it's standing there still
And the fence disappears over the hill
Over there where I cannot see
But I do believe, yes I do believe
I believe it goes on from there
Oh the fence disappears over the hill
Over there where I cannot see
But I do believe, yes I do believe
I believe it goes on from there
