Broken Love 03:35
What the world has to offer It just ain’t my cup of tea It’s my world, says the scoffer Looking down from his balcony This world is falling down all around It’s just a broken love Broken love One thing’s sure, time will tell Misery loves company Well, get off your carousel Take a good look, honestly God’s love can still be found It’s all around us To heal the broken love Broken love

Monday Tuesday Wednesday, Thursday Friday too Hang out on the corner, doing what you do So many meetings, so little time Tell me it’s a living - honey all you’re doing is dying Sell your soul for money, harden up your heart You’ll never see the daylight, living in the dark Ain’t got no woman, ain’t got a man Dying for a living, baby don’t you understand Love ain’t so easy, trying to run in high heels Buying and selling, you lose in each and every deal Filling up your wallet, powder up your nose Using and abusing, honey everybody knows Dying ain’t a living, baby time ain’t your friend But I got some good news, you might find freedom in the end I said Sunday coming around I’d like to introduce you to a Friend To my Friend

Just like a bobber on the ocean Up and down with the waves Caught in a tide of endless confusion Cradle to the grave My life was such a roller coaster My story laced with regret It’s such a cost, the pain of being lost As lost as lost could get Living sick, tired and lonely Too full of me to get right Broken down to the dirt I had swallowed Worrying about a thief in the night Felt life was just a roller coaster The story only got worse House of horror, a house of mirrors Living under the curse Somebody asked me a question What did I know about grace? What if love was alive and well? What if love had a face? Turn to Me, lay down your load I am life for the dead And then He did just like He said Forgave all my debt Ain’t riding no more roller coaster The story’s ending so sweet An empty grave, a son returned Love in the family

Young black man in the docket His eyes upon the floor Judge pronounces sentence He won’t walk this earth no more A cheer from folks outside But tears on Mamma’s face Is justice really blind When it comes to race? Young mother on the corner Sells cheaply all she’s got While her next door neighbor Calls the cops to get her caught Power, greed and poverty The world’s unholy trinity Neighbors proud to be free But none so blind as he and me Sometimes it makes me tremble When fear informs the hand I guess it all depends my friend Depends on where you stand Where you stand Depends where you stand

Bad Times 02:43
Well when you, when you face the bad times It don’t mean you need to run away Bad times sometimes seem to follow you Even if you watch and pray We love to soak up all the sunshine We don’t like that rain to come our way Truth be told, night’s gonna come around too But every night, gonna have it’s day Had myself some bad times Like a debt I could not pay But I know I don’t have to face it on my own There is a comfort for the bad times To give you strength, come what may A love that can’t be taken from you It’s eternal, it won’t fade away It’s eternal, it won’t fade

Wipe those tears from your eyes All things will be clear, there’s no denying And things will disappear from the sky A new heaven, new earth, no lullaby What can be shaken will be shaken What can be burned will be burned Mountains laid low, oceans emptied of water Not one stone left on top of another Stars will fall, the moon turn red Then they’ll recall what He said
7.
People, keep on learning Soldiers, keep on warring World, keep on turning ‘Cuz it won’t be too long Powers, you keep on lying While your people keep on dying World, keep on turning ‘Cuz it won’t be too long I’m so darn glad He let me try it again Without my Lord I lived a whole lotta sin I’m so glad I know more than I knew then Gonna keep on trying till I reach the higher ground Teachers, keep on teaching Preachers, keep on preaching World, keep on turning ‘Cuz it won’t be too long Lovers, keep on loving Believers, keep on believing Sleepers, just stop sleeping ‘Cuz it won’t be too long I’m so darn glad He let me try it again Without my Lord I lived a whole world a sin I’m so glad I know more than I knew then Gonna keep on trying till I reach the higher ground Till I reach the higher ground No one’s gonna bring me down Till I reach the higher ground Don’t let nobody bring you down He’s the truest Friend you have around

U-Turn 02:20
Riding that sheepskin, leather, chrome and steel Burning down that road, pipes cooking loud and real But you still might find sometimes desire burns You need to make a u-turn Highways bend, Lord they rise and fall If you don’t pay attention, you just might lose it all When the gravel bites you just might learn You got to make a u-turn Can’t live in doubt - you know that ain’t the route On this ride, there ain’t no place to hide You can strut your stuff, but death is just too tough Pay attention Once your direction’s right and you begin to heal Don’t forget you can’t go by how you feel If you lose the way, remember what I say You need to make a u-turn

Tonight by the forest I can’t see the trees Snow has been falling all around me Alone in the darkness, white on the ground Tears keep on falling, over and down And I stand by the window tonight And I stand by watching, waiting for the light Oh how I miss your loving kiss Your arms around my neck One thing I know, with all of this snow I can’t get much colder than this And I stand by the window tonight And I stand by watching, waiting for the light On this silent, country lane If it wasn’t snow, it’d be rain If only I could see you again Came a time when leaves were burning And tonight my soul is yearning I know So I’ll stand by the window tonight So I’ll stand by watching, waiting for the light So I’ll stand by the window tonight

It started out like any other day But something in the air, gave it away I knew it was just a matter of time Before I spent my last dime And I got trouble high, and trouble low Everywhere I go And I got trouble high, and trouble low Everywhere I go Well trouble follows me like an old stray dog Staying close on my trail Seems like every time I try to change I’m always bound to fail And I got trouble high, and trouble low Everywhere I go And I got trouble high, and trouble low Everywhere I go Sweet Jesus, I’ve wandered so far Done the time and I’ve got the scars I’m weary walking down this way Just trying to get through another day ‘Cuz there’s trouble high, and trouble low I need a place to go I got trouble high, and trouble low I need someone to know
11.
Well I’ve been all over Through thick and thin But now I’m drowning in an ocean And darkness closing in Well I been there, done that At least a hundred times or more I just don’t feel the thrill Like I did before Now I met me somebody Sticks closer than a friend Never leave or forsake me Like a brother Through the thick and thin I’ve been saved I’ve been rescued Call it anything you like Been thrown a life preserver Got a second chance at life Well if you come through hard times Give thanks where it’s due Got a hand up from heaven Love that pulled you through Pulled you through
12.
How can a young man stay pure in the world these days? Why would a young man stay pure in the world anyway? You know in these new days A young man is a “real” man If he looks around And allows his lust to feast And you know nowadays it’s the young man who’s got no dad, no family Young men cracked, broken, forgotten these days Just forgotten But everybody knows if a young man ain’t got no one He’ll go find one Or something to fill his need Someone or something You who got no one Nothing in this world to live for There’s One who’s been forgotten Waiting outside your door Oh, that’s the young man’s blues

This Race 03:35
Like an old friend I return to you Again and again Just like the wind, You are here with me I feel you as close as my skin Time after time, lost in the woods You are the compass I need Night after night, tempted and weak You speak the truth and I'm freed You have been a father to me A mother a sister a brother to me I can't forget what You've done Crawling or walking this race will be run Deep inside, everyone feels The need doesn't change but we don't always heal On this ride it can get pretty rough But Your tender love is making me tough Prepared for eternity Like an old friend Again and again
