Your love is sacred, your love is holy
Your love is precious, my one and only
Your love is blessed, your love is divine
You have so much, yet you want all of mine

Your love is hallowed it's consecrated
Your love is sanctified, I think I get it
Your love is sacred, so you imply
I need to know right now what am I?

Your love is coveted, your love is free
You leave me breathless how hard you can be

Walking a thin, thin line I'm a stranger to my self

Love's Rescue
03:10
|
|||
|
VERS:
Dawn stood still frozen in time
Rock of ages, on the shoreline
Leave me to my misery, in this long gone lonesome dream
Let me take my comfort in the heart of the Nazarene
CHOR:
The days are a constant sorrow, my heart's on the line
I'd give up my tomorrow's to see you one more time
It's a trick of the heart seeing you
Coming back to me love's sweet rescue
VERS:
Clouds at daybreak dark as night
I've lost my hope, the clouds have stolen the light
In a game I can't win I have nothing now but doubt
My faith is failing thin, my time is running out

What can I say what can I do?
To get a message through to you?

West Lincoln
03:08
|
|||
|
VERS:
He lived and died in West Lincoln, a praying man at times
A life of salvation never crossing the mercy line
He sought the key to redemption, how it eluded him
He believed it was certain she'd come back again
CHOR:
You're not a hard one to convince, a compromise is never quite a win
Love comes on it's own time, never settles for lies
Love out of sight, holding the ties that bind
VERS:
He worked long hard days sometimes into the night
Age took his eyes, time took his wife
He prayed for sweet surrender, a holiness to his life
As the fire burns down to embers, he's left to survive
BRIG:
Love oh sweet love, he'd hold her in his arms
Love oh sweet love, a shelter from the storm
CHOR:

God in Each Other
04:11
|
|||
|
VERS:
I believe in faith it holds my life, through empty days and lonely nights
Working the high wire without a net, believing in hope it's the best I'll get
I believe in freedom I believe in truth, anything less is just an excuse
What have you been dreaming of?
The promise of hope or the coming of love?
CHOR:
Do we see God in each other? Do we bless those that suffer?
Given time we can recover, just might discover
We see God in each other
VERS:
I believe in choice we love who we choose
Love free from fear with nothing to lose
Why such a hurry why such a rush? Have faith in the promise of love
I believe in angels, warriors for peace
Justice for all from the last to the least
I believe in faith and a heart full of hope
And hanging on at the end of your rope
CHOR:

Love Disappears
04:12
|
|||
|
VERS:
My heart skips a beat to hear your name, my skin tingles hearing your voice
It's true I'm holding on too tight, loosing you is not a choice
Mining diamonds on the moon, like stars in the stratosphere
Maybe love will reunite maybe love will disappear
CHOR:
Love disappears it comes it goes, and everybody knows
It disappears it comes it goes, like it's got a mind of it's own
VERS:
Seven come eleven just my luck, my fate a roll of the dice
And I'm so superstitious a black cat crossed my path twice
Mining diamonds on the moon, like stars in the stratosphere
Maybe love will reunite maybe love will disappear

Love disappears it comes it goes, and everybody knows
It disappears it comes it goes, like it's got a mind of it's own
Love disappears it comes it goes
SOLO:

I just feel so apathetic, I don't buy a single word
Mining diamonds on the moon diamond clouds in the stratosphere
Maybe love will reunite maybe love will disappear
CHOR:
SOLO:
It disappears it comes it goes, like it's got a mind of it's own

CHOR
I'm just a man who stands here now, who lost his way to love somehow
A change is long, long overdue and there's nothing I wouldn't do

Lonely dreams in the morning appear
Truth won't stop my yearning and despair
Shine a light on your heart's true self
I'll cast a net and capture your spell

On the side of angels stood a sage
Who told the future with a turn of the page
My redemption has been denied
Still I long to be sanctified
SOLO:

The future is now the present is past
Looking for a love one that'll last
Speaking in riddles it's all just jive
Back to the wall trying to survive

Jericho
03:35
|
|||
|
VERS:
I'm afraid to leap and just let go
A spinning free fall of my soul
Head over heels earthward bound
Crash landing on the ground
VERS:
Hey I'm not blind I just can't see
What lies between your heart and me
I don't know what I'm searching for
Patiently waiting at your door
CHOR:
How many times do I march around Jericho?
How many times around?
How many times do I march around Jericho?
Till my walls come tumbling down
BRIG:
Pouring water on the fires of hell, what a waste of time
I touched hell here on earth and temporarily lost my mind
The truth lays hidden behind a veil
With no clear pathway to mark the trail
VERS:
Did Christ walk on water I'm not so sure
Mohamed heard a whisper but not the cure
I don't doubt the prophets I just seek the truth
Turning water into wine isn't proof
CHOR:
