The Sacred Heart of Jesus

I once was lost and lonely 
sorrows  heavy to bear
but when I turned around I
Saw you standing there 

Among the graves and headstones
it barely caught my eye
but when I saw this vision
I kneeled down to cry 

The sacred heart of Jesus
Is oh so pure and true
The sacred heart of Jesus
is there for me and you

The saints they are the ones who
will receive the prize
all that I know is that 
I saw this with my own eyes

I didn't ask to see him
I never thought he'd show
but I when I turned around his
Heart was all aglow

The sacred heart of Jesus
nothing can compare
I will give him my heart
and take his cross to bear

All the world will see his (the) light
It shines through the darkest night
and all the angels will fall before the throne

The world is waiting, watching
A world so full of sin
But when you came to save us
the nails they pierced your skin

The sacred heart of Jesus
he bled upon the tree
The sacred heart of Jesus
He died for you and me

The sacred heart of Jesus
Is oh so pure and true
The sacred heart of Jesus
is there for me and you
He's there for me and you
He's there for me and you

I'm So Afraid (Fleetwood Mac cover)

Lyrics:

Sometimes I feel like I'm flailing
Getting close to that railing
On a train that is breaking down

Maybe I'm in need of a Savior
or a just change in behavior
but I am stuck here as losses mount

Stuck in between here
What’s now and next year
can't see beyond these trees

There's no joy, only sorrow
only today, not tomorrow
Cant get out of my own way

One day, you say it gets better, it gets better
After all this time I realize

There's no progress I'm making
by a thread I am hanging
but you tell me keep moving on

Maybe I'm in need of reflection
I've lost my sense of direction
All I can do is keep holding on

People tell me I'm crazy
Maybe my mind is just hazy
Can't see the goodness all around

Sometimes I do too much thinking
but I got this feeling I'm sinking
the boat i'm on is heading down

Someday, you'll say it gets better, it gets better
And after all this time I realize

How many times have you caught me looking down
With this frown, with this frown?

How man times have you caught me listening to
a melancholy song

There is a hole I've been digging
Is life here I’m living 
or just some nice facade

Am I fond of the sorrow?
Maybe it’s trouble I borrow?
But I’m still here against the odds

Someday, you’ll see it get’s better, it gets better
After all this time after all these lines, I fell better

Better

Psalm 10

Why Oh Lord do you stand far off?
Why do you hide in times of grief?
In his arrogance the wicked man hunts the weak
they are caught in the traps he sets

He boasts of the cravings of his heart
he blesses the greedy and reviles the Lord 
In his pride he ignores you God
in his thoughts there's no room for you

His ways are always prosperous, he is haughty and brash
your laws are far from him 
He sneers at his enemies,  he says to himself
Nothing will shake me

He'll always be happy he has no cares
He'll never have trouble or pain 
His mouth is full of curses and lies 
Threats and trouble are the language he speaks

He lies in wait for the innocent
He waits for his victims to sleep
He hides like a lion ready to attack
He waits for the helpless and weak

He catches the needy and drags them off 
with his brute strength the are crushed and collapse  
He says to himself, God has forgotten them 
He covers his face and doesn't see

Arise Oh Lord, lift up your hand
and defend the hopeless and weak  (don't forget the ones in need)
Why does the wicked man revile God?
He says "he won't catch me"

But you Oh God see trouble and grief
you see it and take a stand
The suffering ones they trust you Lord 
to meet their just demands

Break the arm of the wicked man 
and call him to account 
He never thought he'd see the day
but he has been found out

The Lord is king, over all the earth
the nations will not stand
but the afflicted you do hear their cry
You listen and understand 
you defend the cause of the fatherless
The oppressed you will set free
and the one who used to terrorize  
will hurt them never more, will hurt them never more
will hurt them never more

Psalm 10

Broken Man (the Ballad of Saul the King)

Why do we follow a broken man, I just can't understand
We traded our love for an open wound, a shameful one night stand
Sometimes I want to shout out loud, but no one seems to care
We running down a broken road, a needless cross to bear

I know we wanted to crown a king, whose strength would lead the way
but now I wonder if the cost, is too much price to pay
I need to shout a warning sound, a flare from on this deck
If we follow a broken man, are we headed for a wreck

Why do we follow a broken man who can’t resist a fight
He belittles and deceives and always thinks he’s right
He says he has our best in mind, that his wisdom is our friend
But just like the two blind guides, where will that lead us in the end?

I know you don't want to hear these words, you think that I'm deceived
but I need to warn you that a broken man wont give you what you need
Why do we follow this broken man, I haven't got a clue 
Maybe we follow this broken man, because we're broken too

the broken ones, lay down their guns and they pray a prayer of faith (peace) 
and with time, we realize that it's all been a twist of fate
We understand and lift our hands and reach out for the light
We do receive and once again believe that your life was given for the least

Your love remains and those blood stains will offer the healing balm
And the crushing blow, from down below was just a resounding gong
Yes, there's damage done, but darkness hasn't won, hope rises from defeat
Then we'll renew, our vows to you, and once again be your bride
