YOU FOUND ME
 © Tony Pistilli 2015

Verse 1:
I was losing my mind
Losing control
Losing my way
And losing my soul
That's when I found You
Or should I say
You found me
 
Verse 2:
I was wasting my life
Numbing my pain
Starving my will
And wasting away
That's when I found You
Or should I say
You found me
 
Pre Chorus:
O Lord I am so grateful that you looked my way
And saw my desperate plight
Cause no one else could see right through my masquerade
Propped up by foolish pride

Chorus:
Just like a little child who wanders
Far away from home
While chasing phantom butterflies
Soon lost and all alone
When darkness started closing in
That is when
You found me
 
Verse 3:
You have salvaged my life
Covered my shame
Washed all my sin
And salvaged my name
Because I found You
Or should I say
You found me

This was a song composed and mixed by Edgar Price. He asked me to write some lyrics and I provided a sample vocal that was just supposed to give him an idea of what was in my head but he liked it and HEAVILY edited it...haha...

Very rough scratch recording of new song. Please excuse the horrible auto-tuned to death vocals....ha ha.

SURRENDER TO WIN 
© Tony Pistilli 2017

Verse 1  
Remember where I found you, hopeless in your plight 
When you trusted me and turned away from sin 
You finally found the freedom, from the strongholds of your mind 
When you bowed your knee and you were born again   
Even though it made no earthly sense 
You made the choice to listen and obey 
Finding out that what I said I meant 
My ways are not your ways 

Chorus:  
You call me Father  
So let Me keep you safe  
Don't be discouraged, this battle's Mine to take  
You call me Master  
So heed the words I say 
I have a purpose so put your sword away  
I know the ending
Before you even begin  
You've got to surrender to win 

Verse 2: 
It breaks my heart to see you struggle in this fight  
But it matters where you choose to place your trust
Your vision's growing dimmer with the swelling of your pride 
The prize cannot be won by flesh and blood 
Sometimes it makes no earthly sense 
But when you’re looking thru the eyes of faith
You will see that what I said I meant
My ways are not your ways
 
Chorus:
 
Bridge:
There is a time to fight
And there's a time to trust
So put your trust in Me
Put your trust in Me
 
Chorus – End

Surrender to win (scratch)

More Than Six Feet Deep
© 2015 Tony Pistilli

Verse 1:
Gotta “COEXIST” bumper sticker 
On the back of my pickup truck
And I pray before eatin’ my dinner. 
Go to church when I’m down on my luck
Gotta bobble-headed virgin Mary 
On the dashboard to keep me safe
But I lost a tooth in a fender bender 
When she flew right into my face

I try to have all my bases covered
But I’m finding out that it just ain’t workin’

Chorus:
What’s it all about
Why do I keep
Breathing in and out
Eat, sleep, repeat
‘Cause I gotta know when I go
That it won’t be….
More than six feet deep

Verse 2:
Gotta hardback Gideon bible 
That I stole from the Motel 6 
But it's hard to read all those thee's and thou's
My mind’s just a bit too thick 
Gotta an extra burger and a French fry 
For that guy with the cardboard sign 
Then I saw him leave about an hour later 
In a car way better than mine

I try to have all my bases covered
But I’m finding out that it just ain’t workin’

More Than Six Feet Deep (Revised)

Verse 1:
I wonder what it's like
To walk on streets of gold
Experiencing life
Where time has no control
To live without this fleshly man of death
Having only thoughts of righteousness

Chorus:
This, this is Heaven
This, this is Heaven

Verse 2:
As I take my final breath
And reach the finish line
This passage we call death
A temporary lie
I'm going to my home where I will dwell
Purchased with the blood of God Himself

Chorus:
This, this is Heaven
This, this is Heaven
No more sorrow, no more pain
Every tear's been wiped away
All the former doubts and fears are gone
Then I'll see my Savior's face
Full of wonder, full of grace
Oh to finally hear those words
"Well done, welcome home"
This, this is Heaven
This, this is Heaven

Bridge:
No price too high
Or sacrifice
Too much to reach
This destiny

Chorus

This Is Heaven - Guitar Version

This is a newer version of the song...still not final.

Lyrics:
Verse 1:
God's only son was sent down to us
To weather the hurt and the shame
Unequaled love pouring down from above
As it flowed from Emmanuel's veins

Chorus:
Just like the rain falling down
Just like the rain
Just like the rain falling down
Just like the rain
Just like the rain falling down
Satisfies the thirsty ground
Let the living water fall
Just like rain

Verse 2:
Heartache and pride had clouded my mind
And shadowed the light of His grace
Down from the sky trickled hope's sacrifice
Like the tears rolling off of my face

Chorus:
Just like the rain falling down
Just like the rain
Just like the rain falling down
Just like the rain
Just like the rain falling down
Satisfies the thirsty ground
Let the living water fall...

Bridge:
Rain down on me
Rain down on me
Making hope bloom and everything new

Chorus:
Just like the rain falling down
Just like the rain
Just like the rain falling down
Just like the rain
Just like the rain falling down
Just like the rain
Just like the rain falling down
Just like the rain
Making hope bloom and everything new
Just like the rain

HOLE IN THE SKY
© Tony Pistilli 2020


Chorus:
I’m not looking for a hole in the ground
I’m looking for one in the sky (x4)

Verse 1:
You can spend your time making money
Give your life to fortune and fame
But who really cares if you gain the world
But your soul ends up in the flames

Verse 2:
We’re only on this earth for a moment
We’re engaged to the great unknown
So break off the chains of your life of sin
And get the keys to your heavenly home

Verse 3:
There’s this thing that we call the rapture
We’ll be gone in the blink of an eye
Then who’s gonna care about our IRA
Or the junk that we leave behind?

Hole In The Sky

Most of the tracks here are very, very rough drafts of songs I am working on. I use soundcloud as a place to put my stuff on.  I would love to work collaboratively with anyone who has something to offer.  All comments are welcome. Thanks, Tony
