Flap Your Wings
When you find yourself lying
In a ditch on the side of the road
You might get ready
You might get ready to die
When the sun comes up over the mountain
Flap your wings and fly
Take to the heavens
To the sky
Take to the heavens
Fly
When the healer of your heart
Touches your soul with holy hands
You sure should rise up
You sure should rise from the dead
When the sun shines through the branches
Lift your head
Take to the heavens
To the sky
Take to the heavens
Fly

Shiny Floor
Yes I’ll try to be agile
Like a lynx on the hunt
Cause I don’t want to knock any candles over
Or spill any punch
On your shiny floor
On your shiny floor
Yes I want to keep composed
Like a snake while I’m here
No I don’t care to shed any skin unnecessarily
Let alone any tears
On your shiny floor…
And you better believe
Before it makes you grieve
I’ll wipe it up with my sleeve…
Yes I plan to lie so low
Like a snake in the mud
No I don’t care to show my fangs to the innocent
Or spill any blood
On your shiny floor…
So I’ll try to be agile
Like a Saskatoon lynx
Cause I don’t want to set your world on fire
Or spill any drink
On your shiny floor…
Like a snake in the mud
Like a Saskatoon lynx…

Mercy Live Here

No I don’t care to shed any skin unnecessarily
Let alone any tears

No I don’t care to show my fangs to the innocent

So I’ll try to be agile
Like a Saskatoon lynx
Cause I don’t want to set your world on fire
Or spill any drink
On your shiny floor…
Like a snake in the mud

Hey Gene

Hey Gene
I suppose you’re doin’ all right now
Making beautiful music on a white cloud
The Father, Son and a holy host of angels
Surely sent up three cheers
Even as your mortal friends
Shed a few tears
We miss you down here
Hey Gene, we remember you
Yeah we laugh when we think of Eugene
Hey Gene, we remember you
Yeah we cry when we think of you Gene
Hey Gene, we remember you
Yeah we love you
Anyway, hey Gene
I suppose you’ve found some peculiar
Creatures to get to know
You always were a curious kind soul
Sad you had to go so soon
Hey Gene…
Flap your wings
I feel the dust and gravel under my feet
I suppose you’re walkin’ down golden streets
Everybody always forgave you
A child of mystery
And I remember you were merciful to me
Hey Gene…
Give Jesus a kiss for us
Hey Gene…
Flap your wings, flap your wings
I suppose you’re playin’ a harp now

Sunny
I know how it feels to be humiliated
How it burns to feel small
I wish all your giants to be capitulated
Every demon to crawl
But I can’t do anymore than kneel and pray
I can’t say anymore than "Sure is sunny"
Sure is sunny today
I know how it feels to be humiliated
How it burns to feel small
I wish all your giants to be decapitated
Every demon to crawl
Sure is sunny today…

Flowing Over Me

Flowing Over Me
Comes a time on the journey
You wonder how you will survive
Comes a time when you’re thirsty and so alone
You think you might die
There is a pool in the desert
Where water flows from fountains unseen
Saving water, healing water
Flowing over me
Came a white dove descending
The day my Savior was baptized
Down came the fire still burning within me
Love sanctifies
There is a pool in the desert…

Cherry Bomb
She makes a lot of trouble, yeah
When things to go the way she plans
Discusses problems in theology
Nobody understands
She makes noise
She breaks toys
She fills my heart with joy
Cherry bomb, cherry bomb
With a face just like a cherub
She’s a bomb, yeah
She makes her presence known
Cherry bomb, cherry bomb
With a face just like a cherub
She’s sweet as anything I know
She never takes things lightly, no
Her little heart explodes sometimes
I hold her tightly in my harms
She really blows her Daddy’s mind
She thrills me
She kills me
She spills grape juice on me
Cherry bomb…
She thrills me
She kills me
She makes noise
She brakes toys
She fills my heart with joy
Cherry bomb…

I Don't Mean Any Harm
Sorry
I called to tell you that I’m sorry
To have such fun and leave you all alone
Tomorrow
I’m gonna paint the hallway tomorrow
Say it won’t be too late to atone
Before old man winter comes to chill your bones
I’m gonna build a fire and heat up some stones
Put ‘em under your sheets
I really want to keep your cold feet warm
I don’t mean any harm
I don’t mean any harm
I don’t mean any harm to you…
So sad
To find you crying
So sad to be the one to make you feel so blue
Tonight
I sure will kiss you so nice tonight
I sure will hold you tight and care for you
Before Old Man Winter comes to chill your bones
I’m gonna build a fire to heat up some stones
Put ‘em under your sheets
I really want to keep your cold feet warm
I don’t mean any harm…
You know the way I feel in my heart…
For you
You know the love I feel in my heart…
Is true

A Moment In Time
Your eyes shone on that night
They were diamonds
Under the ocean’s moonlight
They were diamonds
It was only a moment
It was only a moment
It was only a moment
In time
You were laughing, I was falling hard
It was over
Then the light of morning hid the stars
And it was over
It was only a moment…
In time
I remember it well
The night I fell so deeply into your eyes
And I wondered if you would feel for me
The way I felt for you
It was only a moment…
In time

Beautiful Scandalous Night
Go on up to the mountain of mercy
To the crimson perpetual tide
Kneel down on the shore
Be thirsty no more
Go under and be purified
Follow Christ to the holy mountain
Sinner, sorry and wrecked by the fall
Cleanse your heart and your soul
In the fountain that flows
For you and for me and for all
At the wonderful tragic mysterious tree
On that beautiful scandalous night you and me
Were atoned by His blood and forever washed white
On that beautiful scandalous night
On the hillside you will be delivered
At the foot of the cross justified
And your spirit restored
By the river that pours
From our blessed Savior’s side
At the wonderful tragic mysterious tree…
Go on up to the mountain of mercy
To the crimson perpetual tide
Kneel down on the shore be thirsty no more
Go under and be purified
At the wonderful tragic mysterious tree
On that beautiful scandalous night you and me
Were atoned by his blood and forever washed white
On that beautiful scandalous night…
Miraculous night
