It's Time

It's Time (inspiring theme)

(c) 2024 Tim Schlesener (lyrics), Peter Brunone (music)

Just a wholesome look at life in an old school bus, enjoying all the beauty America has to offer.

Lyrics:

Warm winters on the Florida coast
Then Dogwood Spring in Carolina
Cool summers in the Rockies
While Texas is on fire
Follow Fall foliage from Vermont
Tracking the colors to the Ozarks
But before the snow starts flying
I’ll find a sandy place to park

I’m from nowhere
I’m from everywhere
Where are you from?
Yeah, I’ve been there.
The wheels on this ol’ bus
Go ‘round and ‘round
I don’t need much along the way
From getting lost to getting found

Next Spring I’m headed westward
To the city by the bay
Then I’ll drive up to Seattle
Pass through Redwoods on the way
The mountains of Montana
Will be my summer home
Thousands of lakes in Minnesota
To explore before first snow

I’m from nowhere
I’m from everywhere
Where are you from?
Yeah, I’ve been there
The wheels on this ol’ bus
Go ‘round and ‘round
I don’t need much along the way
From getting’ lost to getting found

I’m on the road
I’m in the wind
I’m right at home
I’m right at home wherever I am.

I’m from nowhere
I’m from everywhere
Where are you from?
Yeah, I’ve been there.
The wheels on this ol’ bus
Go ‘round and ‘round
I don’t need much along the way
From  getting’ lost to getting found

Getting Found

Getting Found (lyrics by Tim Schlesener) -- early mix

"It is better to light a single candle than to curse the darkness."  - Unknown

"Hate cannot drive out hate. Only love can do that." - MLK, Jr.

"Perfect love drives out fear." - John the Apostle

Fun fact: I recorded this with nine tracks (on the Acapella app) in a church sanctuary on an iPad with no extra mics, after minimal rehearsal -- about an hour after picking up a bass for the first time. Enjoy the imperfections. :D

To the Nations (Give us Your Heart)
Video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xguqv0ijfo

CHORUS
Jesus, take us to all the nations
Give us a heart to love the world
They all need you, just like we do
Give us your heart to love the world

V1
You left your throne to save the lost
gave yourself up on that cross
then on the third day you rose in victory
to gather us from every place
in your forever family

CHORUS

V2
You gave us riches untold
in our pockets, and in our souls
but let us not forget our own poverty
before the righteous one
broke our chains and set us free

BRIDGE
You said to love the Lord our God
with everything we are
and then to love our neighbor as ourselves
but when you fill us up 
we can't help but spill it over
so make us strong to show the world
and make us brave to go and tell

To The Nations (Gospel track, big room impromptu recording)

The Bible is full of imagery that describes us as naturally asleep (i.e. indifferent, numb, dead, and so on)with regard to the love of our Creator -- but the story doesn't end there.

****** Lyrics ******

We were asleep
When you came to us and woke us with the life you breathed.
You gave us everything
Until we ran from you and left you, chasing misery
And a sword of fire, and death
Were the rightful payment that we reaped

Deep in our sleep
In the dread of being near to one so holy
You called us out
To a land we did not know, and your surety
Was to walk as fire through death
To make a covenant that we could never keep

And we showed you time and time again
The depth of our depravity and greed,
And you held us in your mighty hand, 
Ever steady — standing ready in our deepest need
Still, it’s you we need
It’s you we need

We fell asleep
Though you called us friends, we failed you in your agony
You gave up everything
You wore a crown of pain and stripped yourself of royalty
And you walked through fire and death
So that none could tear us loose for all eternity
You walked through fire and death
To call us your beloved through eternity

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
The lamb who was slain is worthy
And we are waking
We are waking
