Not So Afraid

What can I say 
I don’t know what to think
Can’t shake this feeling
It overwhelms me

only solution
Seems to be
just to run away

That’s the way
I’ve dealt with
Everything before

every time 
I feel the fear 
and want to run away
I think of you
And I’m not 
so afraid

This tide incoming 
it feels so hopeless
There is no reason
No sense of purpose

pushed around so long
By things we can’t change
We feel abandoned
life has no meaning

that’s an illusion
Things are deeper than
we can ever know

There is infinite joy
Beyond understanding
Beyond the senses,
Living in the truth

Achieving this
no higher goal
grounded in being, unshaken
In pain and sadness

Content with whatever
unattached to pleasure
Gain true freedom
Enter absolute joy

Let go of attachments
mind grounded in the truth
At peace forever
Completely absorbed in God

Belief without faith
is a quagmire of doubt
never satisfied
In this world or beyond

Let go of attachments
mind grounded in the truth
At peace forever
Completely absorbed in God

every time 
I think of you
I’m not 
so afraid

Lyrics: 

I hear a call from deep inside
Calling me back to the source
To the space 
where
I once belonged

When the change is complete
Is there nothing left of me?
light reflects
eternity

What seemed solid now dissolves
And the past is washed away
Is it fear that holds
the truth at bay?

When the change is complete
Is there nothing left of me?
light reflects
eternity

As the waters cascade down
Reminding us where we belong
Healing us in 
serenity

What seemed solid now dissolves
And the past is washed away
Is it fear that holds
the truth at bay?

As the waters cascade down
Reminding us where we belong
Healing us in 
serenity

Flowing through eternity
We'vw been here before
The search will end
When we seek no more

Capillary waves
Treading ether
Mind echoes
Ripple on

Form perception
Senses clean
turn inward,
Source is seen

Thoughts entangle
looking back
what came before
fades to black

Lost in thinking
separate mind
To this moment
We are blind

Captured by
Conflicted mind,
What we seek
Is what we find

When we let go
Our will is free
The Gordian knot
Is cut clean

The Way is shown,
The Truth we see
The Life unending,
We are free

Upon The Rock

Won’t stop, keep building up,
Until we reach the top 

And when the rain comes 
Falling down,
What was built on sand
Crashes to the ground

Everything we cling to
Will wash away
The only thing 
left standing 
is built upon 
the rock

The only thing that we can trust,
Is what's built upon the rock

And when the wind beats
upon the house,
What was built on sand,
Scatters across the land

Everything we cling to
Will blow away
The only thing left
standing is
built upon 
the rock

All else we seek is 
idle vanity
Everything else
will disappear
Eventually

Sixth Day Perfection

And in the end, I will have you
Like the beginning of time
You and me and forever
I swear I’d be yours if you’d be mine

You know you set my soul on fire
with your heart of grace fueled eyes
And your lips like honey, ignite 
at once the temple shining bright

You are the sixth day perfection
You are the skies of blue
Beautiful creation time
Nothing I have compares with you

You make me shake and tremble
as your innocence denies
Our love perfect in the garden, 
true love shining through the night

But you’re lost now and I can’t find you 
and were you ever in my arms
Since that first day that I saw you, 
I knew you’d be always in my heart, my heart

You are my sixth day sunshine
the skies of blue
And you are my one true dream come true

Won’t you come back and won’t you be mine
once again never to part
We’ll be together, yes, we will be for all to see
A broken key to a broken heart

We’ll set the end from the beginning
As far as east is from the west
You’re my sixth day perfection forever 
and my seventh day of rest

But you’re lost now and I can’t find you 
and were you ever in my arms
Since that first day that I saw you, 
I knew you’d be always in my heart, my heart

You are my sixth day sunshine
the skies of blue
And you are my one true dream come true

Never Alone

I pray my eyes will open to you
And my heart will understand
I cry out for your wisdom
Knowing the house of the righteous will stand

Hatred stirs up all of our strife,
Love covers our offenses
The wise learn to walk upright
The wages of the righteous is life

With you
We are not alone
Not alone
Never alone
I know

Riches mean nothing at our last breath,
righteousness rescues us
Fear of the LORD prolongs our lives,
He is a shield to those who walk by His side

A tranquil heart is life to the body,
And understanding will guard you
Do not say, “I will repay evil”;
Wait for the LORD, and He will save you.

[chorus]

Blessed is one who trusts in the LORD.
those who trust have found the fountain of life
For the Lord gives us wisdom
Just as the Lord gave us our lives

We are praised by our insight,
And all our deeds will return
The steadfast and righteous attain life,
The blameless are the LORD’s delight.

[chorus]

A joyful heart is good medicine,
Kindness flows from the fountain of wisdom
A merciful person does himself good,
Upright Integrity will guide them

Way of the LORD is a mighty stronghold,
The righteous will never be shaken
When the whirlwind passes over, 
The righteous have an everlasting foundation.

O Holy Day (No More Night)

O holy day, the Son is brightly shining,
It is the day of our savior’s return;
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
When He appears all souls feel their worth
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn;

Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices!
O day divine! O day when Christ returns!
O day, O Holy day, O day, of His return!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming;
Before God’s throne all of us will stand
Light of the world now forever gleaming,
There is no darkness left in the land

The King of Kings, to our weakness no stranger,
In all our trials born to be our friend;

Fall on your knees, Oh hear the angel voices!
O day divine! O day when Christ returns!
O day, O Holy day, O day, of His return.

Truly He taught us to love one another;
His law is Love and His gospel is Peace;
Chains shall he break, for the slave is our brother,
And in His name all oppression shall cease

Sweet hymns of joy in grateful Chorus raise we;
Let all within us praise His holy name!

Christ is the Lord, O praise His Name forever,
Proclaim His holy name, Jesus, Lord, forevermore,
Proclaim His holy name, Jesus, Lord, forevermore!

Sanctuary

Left here brokenhearted
Beneath the falling rain
Can someone save me?

Across the great divide
The chasm opens wide
All seems lost

Thrown against the wall
Who will break my fall
I’m on my knees

I seek sanctuary
Shelter from the storm
Our eternal 
Home

Now I stand alone
Holding up my hands
The sky is falling

I seek sanctuary
Shelter from the storm
Our eternal 
Home 

Sanctuary!
Sanctuary!
Your kingdom’s not
Of this world

Sanctuary!
Sanctuary!
Through grace death 
holds no mastery

I seek sanctuary
Shelter from the storm
Our eternal 
Home

Back to You (I'll Find the Way)

Every time we break away
I feel blue,
just thinking of you

Can’t hide away
from the pain,
feel it night and day

Heart weighs heavy 
on my mind,
thoughts are unkind

So much trouble 
there to find,
I can’t unwind

Only one thing
on my mind,
silence on the line

Without you, 
I can’t rest
It’s meaningless

I feel so lonely I could die
Without you

In the dark my mind plays tricks on me 
you set me free

And when I call out your name
I feel eternity

Has it been a year or just a day
Time’s gone away
Time’s gone away
Time’s gone away

I’ll find the way
To get back to you

Wait there for me,
I’ll be there for you

I’ll find the way
To get back to you

I’ll find the way
To get back to you

I feel so lonely I could die
Without you

In the dark my mind plays tricks on me 
you set me free

Every time we break away
I feel blue,
Just thinking of you

Can’t hide away
From the pain
Feel it night and day

Without you, 
I can’t rest
It’s meaningless

I’ll find the way
To get back to you

Wait there for me,
I’ll be there for you

I’ll find the way
To get back to you

Grace

Travel through the midnight hour
On our way back home

The sun and stars our guide
And a prayer in our soul

The Word in our hearts and minds
Everything left behind

We will reach our destination,
There we will find

Love is patient,
Love is kind,
He’s The Way
The Truth
And the Life

And in our trials and tribulation
We sing a song of praise

In mercy and grace, He provides
In God we Trust, He’s always by our side

Nothing here worth clinging to,
All is left behind

When we reach our destination,
There we will find

Love is patient,
Love is kind,
He’s The Way
The Truth
And the Life

And in our trials and tribulation
We sing a song of praise

In mercy and grace, He provides
In God we Trust, He’s always by our side

And as this world crumbles to dust,
Even the sun, moon, and stars,
Thy Kingdom come
Thy Kingdom come
Thy will be done

Find the Truth

In the search for truth
Where do we turn?

Is anything
new Under the sun?

Why can’t we be satisfied
with enough?

Endlessly pursue our
increasing desire

As the candle burns ever
lower with time

[chorus]
And all of this
is sand beneath our feet
A faded photograph,
a fading memory

The ear is never filled
by endless learning

There’s no memory left
Of earlier things

[chorus]

And, what remains
When we close our eyes?

Is anything there
beyond endless night?

Even legends die
Stars fall from the sky
The Truth never lies
God is only light

I have seen enough
to believe

Once you’ve seen the Truth
You can’t unsee

Ask in His name, and it’s given
to you 

Seek and you will find,
find the Truth

It's Not Too Late

He tests our hearts
Puts us through the flame
What burns is forever lost
Gold is what remains

We are the temple
In Him, all the same 
Every heart must choose
To embrace Him or to blame

It’s not too late
To know the Truth
And find the Way

The accuser feeds us lies
Gives us reason to hate
While time passes
We progress toward the grave

Refined as silver
Tested as gold
God is of the spirit
This world’s already cold

Passing through the veil
all comes to light
Standing in His presence
Who’d choose to deny?

Everything’s not so mundane
See miracles every day
Minds set on trivial things
Divided, we betray

Jesus taught love
Kingdom is within
Let go of everything
Dividing you from Him

The Good Shephard

As we walk the 
narrow way
Our steps grow lighter 
every day

faith and hearts firmly 
on the path
Do not lose hope,
Do not turn back

We will stay the course, 
and finish the race 
the Good Shepherd waits
He Is calling your name
Call on His name

I will not falter
I will not be deceived
I will not follow 
the false light
Of the world’s deceit

On the narrow way
Don’t be led astray
Jesus is the gate
Call on his name
His kingdom is in sight

The narrow path 
leads out of this world. 
You are on your way home. 
The narrow path
leads to the light, 
His Kingdom come is in sight

The narrow path is a rocky road
The danger lies off the straight line
Many shiny things will try to distract
To lead you off the right track
Stay on course, finish the race
For the light of Truth shines brighter 
and the Good shepherd is calling your name

You are on your way
To the narrow gate
Speak the Truth in love
Till we all come to the unity of the faith 
and the knowledge of the Son of God

As we walk the 
narrow way
Our steps grow lighter 
every day
On the path, Jesus is the gate
we will always
keep the faith

The Good Shepherd (David k. A. Spencer & Cosmic Keanu)

To Higher Ground

When I heard the truth,
I began to shake
My legs gave way,
all I could do
was tremble and wait
Now I stand,
unafraid and awake
Waiting for
the day of the Lord

If trees don’t bloom,
no fruit on the vine,
crops disappear,
and there is no wine
Flocks are cut off,
herds gone from their stalls
What shall we do
when we’ve lost it all?

I will thank the Lord, He saves,
giving me the strength to carry on
Making my feet swift as deer,
To higher ground He leads on

The Lord is in 
His holy place
Let all the earth 
seek His holy face
For all the earth
filled with glory be,
as the waters
cover the sea

I will thank the Lord, He saves,
giving me the strength to carry on
Making my feet swift as deer,
to higher ground He leads on

If anyone wishes to come after Him, 
deny the self, take up the cross and follow Him. 
For whoever wishes to save their life will lose it;
But whoever loses their life for His sake will find it. 

For what does it profit to gain the whole world and
lose your soul? Or what will you give in exchange
for your soul?

For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory
of His Father with His angels, and will then repay 
every one according to their deeds

The Greatest

Love is patient, love is kind,
does not envy, takes the time;
endures all things, 
does not rejoice in pain,
never proud, or unkind

We knew in part at one time,
now the partial is done away
One time I saw in a mirror, dimly,
now we are face to face

[chorus]
When faith, hope, and love abide,
the greatest of them all is love

If I speak with the tongues of men and angels
but do not have love,
I have become a noisy gong,
fit for none

If I knew every truth
and have the faith to move mountains,
without love,
in the end,
it all amounts to nothing

[chorus]

If I give away all I possess,
and have the courage to face death,
If I don’t have love
in my understanding,
all the profits 
amount to nothing

Love is patient, love is kind,
does not envy, takes the time;
endures all things, 
does not rejoice in pain,
never proud, or unkind

[chorus]
When faith, hope, and love abide,
the greatest of them all is love

Prodigal Son

In the dark 
I stumbled blindly
Painful lessons
without you

Empty reasons, 
Endless deceptions
They all talked
as If they knew

What they lacked 
is now apparent
What they sold 
was not the Truth

I searched blindly
in despair,
Only to find you
waiting there

[chorus]
Jesus, 
You are the Bread of Life,
who believes in You has found the light
You are the Bread of Life,
that which endures to eternal life

I hungered and 
I was thirsty,
my soul was dim, 
my heart was weak

My sins were many,
I was fallen
It’s through grace
that I’m still here

I look back, 
my chains are broken
The pain has eased,
You erased my fear

Now it all fits 
so seamlessly
Those who believe
are forever free

Prodigal Son (Paploviante & Cosmic Keanu)

We are at the crossroads
that will test our hearts

War, famine, and pestilence
shake us apart

People’s love will grow so cold,
Forgetting the way to light,

Broad is the path to destruction
Narrow, the way to life

[chorus]
Jesus is Lord, Jesus saves
Hosanna! 
To him, all glory and praise

We can all be like God
Is the serpent's lie

While we worship the work of our hands
In arrogance and pride

They tell us peace and safety,
Then destruction strikes

Broad is the path to destruction
Narrow, the way to life

Be excellent to each other!

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
--Ephesians 6:12

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us eternal comfort and good hope by grace, comfort and strengthen your hearts in every good work and word."
--Thessalonians 2:16

Enter through the narrow gate. 
For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.
--Matthew 7:13-14

For am I now seeking the favor of people, or of God? Or am I striving to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.
-- Galatians 1:10

"No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
--Matthew 6:24
