Easy Listening Contemporary Christian

Stan Countz

Oh Lord
Verse 1
Here I am again 
Kneeling hat in hand 
Needing the cleansing power of Your blood

Needing your forgiveness
Sorrowful in heart
Coming to you now as I should

Chorus
Underneath Your blood that’s where
Forgiveness always comes
Underneath this flood it’s where
I’ve come more than once

Underneath this veil I have
Forgiveness by the One
Who gave Himself up on a cross
So to Him I will come
To him I will come
 
Verse 2
Cleansed and sanctified
In Him I will abide
Clinging to my loving Savior 

Here I take my stand
Beside the Son of Man
Where grace abounds and I am secure

Chorus
Underneath Your blood that’s where
Forgiveness always comes
Underneath this flood it’s where
I’ve come more than once

Underneath this veil I have
Forgiveness by the One
Who gave Himself up on a cross
So to Him I will come
To him I will come

Bridge
Free I stand with Him
Cleansed of all my sins
By the sacrifice of Jesus
that’s where life begins

Chorus
Underneath Your blood that’s where
Forgiveness always comes
Underneath this flood it’s where
I’ve come more than once

Underneath this veil I have
Forgiveness by the One
Who gave Himself up on a cross
So to Him I will come
I will come
To him I will come

I Will Come

They say...
Verse 1
Those who forsake the truth of God
Wander by a thousand paths
Their actions fail to satisfy
Their lust that never lasts

The fleeting thrills of life decay
And leave a hollow cry
But hope remains for those who turn
To God who hears their sighs
He hears your sighs

Chorus
A thousand paths
You have known
But peace comes through
Only one

A thousand paths
But nothing gained
Cuz only one will lead you home again 
Again

Verse 2
Think about where you have been
Ignore all your regrets
This is not a judgment of
The times you can’t forget

Just an observation that
Those paths were dead end roads
Some were fun some were sad
But now all them are closed

Chorus 2
A thousand paths
You have known
But peace comes through
Only one

A thousand paths
But nothing gained
Cuz only one will lead you home again 

Bridge
All the paths behind you
Led you to this place
To the path that leads you home
Back to God’s embrace
His embrace

Chorus 3
A thousand paths
You have known
But peace comes through
Only one

A thousand paths
But nothing gained
Cuz only one will lead you home again 

Outro
Home again
Back to Him
To the place
Of His embrace
Back to Him
Home again
Home again
Home again

I have a halo on my head 
But there's no reason I should be blessed

For calling me His own for eternity
For eternity

But I am guilty of much instead  
I shouldn’t inherit all this stuff 
All this was given by His love

For calling me His own for eternity
For eternity

I'm penniless, without property
I live for Him, my hope to please
My Lord and Savior gloriously

Halo on My Head

The song "Common Love" reflects the struggles of growing up in poverty and finding strength through love and family. It describes a tough life with no money, cold nights, and constant hardship, but emphasizes how love acts as a shield and source of resilience. The narrator's parents, especially their mother's prayers and father's wisdom, provide emotional strength despite material lack. The chorus highlights how love among common people is powerful and unbreakable, even when life feels harsh. The song blends hip-hop beats and shoegaze elements to create a melancholic yet hopeful tone, reinforcing the message that love and unity are more valuable than wealth.

Electric Heart

The first the last

Introduction
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
As it is in heaven

Verse 1
Selfishness and broken dreams
Bring out unkind words from me
And leaves such deep regret

Could there be another way
To find my peace and mediate
And every need is met

Your kingdom come
Your will be done
As it is in heaven

Your kingdom come
Your will be done
As it is in heaven

I build up walls draw hard lines
Forget the hurt in others' eyes
Alas, I feel forlorn

But grace still calls across the breach
A greater love within my reach
To bind what pride has torn

Chorus 2
Your kingdom come
Your will be done
As it is in heaven

Your kingdom come
Your will be done
As it is in heaven

Only Your kingdom reigning in me
Can change my perceptions of all that I see
Only Your kingdom enthroned in my soul
Can heal and deliver and break down the walls

Chorus 3
May Your kingdom come
Your will be done
As it is in heaven

Your kingdom come
Your will be done
As it is in heaven

Your will be done

Your kingdom come
As it is in heaven
