Abraham Raised The Knife

 Abraham Raised The Knife

 

Your feeling blue cause thing ain’t working out

Wondering if God loves you there’s plenty of doubt

Let me tell you plainly let me make you aware

We have a cross to bear and a message to share

 

I gotta tell you something about life

Abraham raised the knife

To kill the only child of his wife

Don’t you know that Abraham raised the knife

 

God is good and God is great and God He’s never late

But human beings well we never want to wait

I guarantee when all that remains is your final prayer

God Almighty will loose the chains and fill you with care

 

I gotta tell you something about life

Abraham raised the knife

To kill the only child of his wife

Don’t you know that Abraham raised the knife

 

Trust in Him when all seems lost

Trust in Him don’t you count the cost

Give Him the praise He’s faithful and true

Give Him the praise He really loves you

 

Precious child awaiting you is a priceless reward

When things get wild hold on trust in the Lord

Angels are watching and the Good Shepherd near

So be brave and bold do as your told without fear

 

I gotta tell you something about life

Abraham raised the knife

To kill the only child of his wife

Don’t you know that Abraham raised the knife

Lords Of The Hollow

Lords Of The Hollow

 

Walk the walk talk the talk that’s what they say

I’m a midnight demon hunting my prey

Every footstep fills another letter

And let me tell you brother it’s getting better

 

We are the Lords of the Hollow

We take the lead we never follow

See how the eagle kills the sparrow

We are the Lords of the Hollow

 

Flying high in the sky past the stratosphere

It’s live and let die without any fear

I’ve waited a lifetime just to flap my wings

I’m ready roaring soaring seeing what life brings

 

We are the Lords of the Hollow

We take the lead we never follow

See how the eagle kills the sparrow

We are the Lords of the Hollow

 

There she is the definition of love

She’s the one everybody’s dreaming of

Keeping cool I start to drool taking aim

In a flash of fire my desire bursts into flame

 

We are the Lords of the Hollow

We take the lead we never follow

See how the eagle kills the sparrow

We are the Lords of the Hollow

 

Tomorrow’s something that will never come

We are kings and rock and roll our kingdom

Hot gals fast cars and a good portion of soul

We’re radicals revolting against ground control

 

We are the Lords of the Hollow

We take the lead we never follow

See how the eagle kills the sparrow

We are the Lords of the Hollow

More To Life

More To Life

 

Soldiers marching in their finest uniform                              

In the east the clouds were coming in storm                          

Where has our innocence went do you know                        

Strange how these winds of change always blow

 

Slipping into the evening sky

Giving life one more try

Love is the only reason why

Somewhere out there

There’s more to life than the lie

 

Women wept so proud of their men of stone

Lovers moaned soon they would be all alone

Mothers cried like they were forever young

How many times has this sad song been sung

 

Slipping into the evening sky

Giving life one more try

Love is the only reason why

Somewhere out there

There’s more to life than the lie

 

There is a monster on the prowl can you hear him growl

He’s a funky folk singer singing about murder so foul

Billionaires bankrupting paupers just because they can

Angry anarchists raging screaming stick it to the man

 

A pair of sweethearts driving into night

A last time to taste heavenly delight

Tomorrow he sails away to endless war

They silently wonder will there be more

 

Slipping into the evening sky

Giving life one more try

Love is the only reason why

Somewhere out there

There’s more to life than the lie

Sylvia’s Garden

 Sylvia’s Garden

 

Before the sun rises in the end of winter’s death

With chilly hands and frigid breath

Working the soil with rake and hoe

Knowing come summer a blessing to grow

 

Carefully placing precious seed in pot

Each cherished child never forgot

Watered and watched until they sprout

Green little creatures coming out

 

Early spring, past the last frost

Praying to God not one to be lost

In the soil measured apart

With cautious hands and loving heart

 

Early morn to water with hose

Fulfilling expectations the garden grows

Repeating the watering in the eve

Love is doing what you believe

 

In summer heat a bounteous place

Smiles all over Sylvia’s face

Fresh lettuce and tomato to pick at will

Mother Earth sharing her thrill

 

Fall comes and we harvest more

Sharing with Trevor and Ron next door

Resting now as the labor is past

How the season has gone so fast!

 

Looking over the garden leaves in decay

I am confident of another day

Sylvia’s garden will reappear

As long as the Lord gives us another year

Song Of Praise

Song Of Praise

 

Listen hear birds swing sweetly a song of praise

Chirping a vision of better days

The melody is hope the words true

It’s a song for me it’s a song for you

 

Won’t you come along and help sing our song?

One voice is weak many are strong

It is a song of victory to right every wrong

Won’t you come along and help sing our song?

 

Our father in heaven watches with a smile

In His eyes our fight is worthwhile

A reward awaits after the trial

Face the terror and forsake denial

 

Won’t you come along and help sing our song?

One voice is weak many are strong

It is a song of victory to right every wrong

Won’t you come along and help sing our song?

 

Preacher man says don’t you understand

Preacher man came and stole the land

Hypocrisy turning love to hate

See the evil the preacher man creates

 

But God is Love and his Way will come to pass

Dark skin doesn’t make us second class

The fight for freedom in paramount

I ask you brother on you can we count?

 

Won’t you come along and help sing our song?

One voice is weak many are strong

It is a song of victory to right every wrong

Won’t you come along and help sing our song?

 

Listen family Africa will be free

For we shall rise it’s our destiny

And God himself shall lend us a hand

Trust in Him you know He does understand

 

Won’t you come along and help sing our song?

One voice is weak many are strong

It is a song of victory to right every wrong

Won’t you come along and help sing our song?

A Hurt Lover’s Lonesome Night

 A Hurt Lover’s Lonesome Night

 

Late night hush

Silence transcends to heavenly stars

Eternal lights never knowing sleep

Countless secrets they keep

No horoscope, no divination could give insight

And Allmighty God chose not to speak that night

Just like yesterday

Or the day before

And before and before and before

But one day, some day, we hope for more

 

Ten thousand agonies of a heart broken

Emotions overflowing yet nothing spoken

Except for the screaming of her misty tears

And the sounds of creations that have been echoing for years

It is not that there is no voice

It is that we refuse to hear

And that is by choice

 

Who has not known woe?

Or felt the bitter pain?

That nobody could know

Let alone explain

 

And so she remains in her solitude

Cept for the infinite stars above

And thus we conclude

Keeping in tact the mystery known as Love

She’s The Poetry

She’s The Poetry

 

She’s got silver bells that jingle on her shoes

Happy chords on the guitar mock the blues

Life is a long song and she’s the poetry

Come on baby won’t you come dancing with me

 

She’s the poetry life’s so alive

She’s the poetry it’s how we survive

She’s the poetry rhythm and jive

She’s the poetry life’s so alive

 

Take time to rhyme can you hear the church bells chime?

A heart full of love that’s my only crime

Hand in hand answering a prophetic call

When something rises then something else must fall

 

She’s the poetry life’s so alive

She’s the poetry it’s how we survive

She’s the poetry rhythm and jive

She’s the poetry life’s so alive

 

Angels and demons flying on the winds of peace

Armies stop marching warships come to a cease

Dream of tomorrow dream of a better day

Come and follow the youth let them lead the way

 

She’s the poetry life’s so alive

She’s the poetry it’s how we survive

She’s the poetry rhythm and jive

She’s the poetry life’s so alive

 

Flowers in her hair San Francisco Bay

Hours in care on her knees to pray

See the sunrise before innocent eyes

Peace love and understanding our prize

 

Shaking on shake down street they got subtle moves

The chorus before us got great grand grooves

Joy to the world the moment is now at hand

Take out the music score and strike up the band

 

She’s the poetry life’s so alive

She’s the poetry it’s how we survive

She’s the poetry rhythm and jive

She’s the poetry life’s so alive

L is for the love that we show one another

U is for the undeniable force we possess

I is for that ignorance that we must address

O is for oppression the foulest crime

Peace

Peace

 

There is a dream

That we share

In lofty hopes

And solemn prayer

Peace

Peace I say

To come our way

Peace for all

Great and small

 

We awake

In the rumble of the bomb

With the scent of napalm

On our breath

Prophesying death

War is a whore

With no give and all take

Missiles fly

Children cry

Civilians die

And we ask why

While the answer given

Is always a lie

 

But there is no surrender

Or forsaking the ideal

In the future

Peace will be real

We shall turn

When we learn

The lesson of Love

Reasons To Be Thankful Part 61

 Reasons To Be Thankful Part 61 

 

Thank you, Jesus!

It’s done

One more trip around the sun!

Seems like life has just begun

But here we go

Reasons to be thankful, part sixty-one

 

Well, I reckon it appears

I’m up there in the years

I am told

Some would call me old

Perhaps I’m old then

But then again still too young for heaven

My gentle God

I would like to get my three score and ten

And if I could implore

A few more

 

Thanx for the sunshine, for your hand divine, for family church and blood, for a path through the mud, for the help in doubt, in hard times a way out, for gentle sleep, for the promises only you could keep, for the roof over my head, for kind words said, for every breath of air, for you answering prayer, for the strength in the fight, for the glory of the light, for saving my soul, for reaching my goal, for a sound mind, for people being kind, for the food to devour, for each and every hour, for the rain divine, for the sunshine, for making each day a new start, for the love you put in my heart, for every tick of the clock, for the steadfastness of the Rock, for the blood shed on the cross, for the gospel seeds I toss, for my ministry, for the truth hidden in history, for this very day, for hearing the words I pray, for your holy spirit, for the evil that I don’t have to fear it, for the unnumerable blessings so many unknown, that I have grown, that with utmost certainty that this list would go on and on into eternity…

 

One more thing I ask of you

May I please see sixty-two

Thoughts On Adam

Thoughts On Adam

 

We all live under an eternal blue sky

Entering in birth 

We wander this Earth

Giving this thing called life a try

Too many questions to mention

If we are a fortunate one

We learn a thing before our short time is done

The joy in living

The righteousness in forgiving

The essence of the dream

That Love alone is supreme

 

There is a season for everything under the sun

A time to be born

A time a time to exist

A time to mourn

A time to persist

A time to die

A time to cry

A time to repent

A time to pray

And in one glorious moment

A new day

 

You are a seed planted in fertile soil

Watered with the good deeds of your toil

I firmly believe

As you give so shall you receive

May the Good Lord have mercy

None can resist His call

None at all

And when you see His face

May He smile with grace

To EXPERIENCE Jupitar

I promised you our first stop would be Jupitar.

Jupitar

I want to go to Jupitar

Jupitar

Do you think there’s war

On Jupitar, Jupitar

We could have a cosmic cruise

If we loose we loose

Way up on a star

Captain John and his merry band

Would sure like to lend a hand

Dance up on the bar

It’s Jupitar

Touch down landing

Jupitar is a state of mind

Let’s all go to Jupitar

The Revolutionary Legacy Of Allen Ginsburg

The Revolutionary Legacy Of Allen Ginsburg

 

In the glory of City Lights

Howling through the darkest of nights

Walking, ever walking the beat

Robbed on a New York Street

A young man from Paterson

Perturbed, disturbed

Yet still widely heard

He was vile and obscene

So declared the machine

But I am happy to report

That even in their kangaroo court

They heard free speech’s call

As with a clenched fist

We squeezed to resist

Crushing Moloch’s balls

And so Allen’s works sits upon the shelf

A perverted version of our inner self

A man who strove for the common good

Like all men should

A man captured in time

Mostly for his alleged crime

Oh the misery of this revolutionary

He also wrote good poetry

We Are A People Proud

We Are A People Proud

 

We are empty in the land of plenty there’s no food on the plate

In the name of the God of love they delivered a world of hate

Promising friendship and freedom for all they made us slaves

Early to toil to earn the master’s spoil we descend to early graves

 

We are not a colony we are a people proud

We demand our freedom clear and loud

A few greedy men are always a crowd

We are not a colony we are a people proud

 

The furnace has raged for long centuries do you embrace the flame?

My skin is like the midnight sky on high and I feel no shame

Africa’s the place I embrace mother of civilization

Listen to the score once more I am sure we’ll rise to a great nation

 

We are not a colony we are a people proud

We demand our freedom clear and loud

A few greedy men are always a crowd

We are not a colony we are a people proud

 

We were living in mighty tall towers while Europe was in caves

In the illusion of cruel confusion you made us slaves

Well seasons change my friend and it’s time for terror to end

God has a purpose and God has a way there’s no chance to defend

 

For Arica I fight I pledge my life and all

Freedom is my delight I answer the call

For Africa I sing a blessing forever more

We are a people proud of that I am sure

 

We are not a colony we are a people proud

We demand our freedom clear and loud

A few greedy men are always a crowd

We are not a colony we are a people proud

 

Let’s celebrate in unity of the family of our home

To you who have wandered so far away I say cease to roam

Side by side hand in hand let us join our minds to the day

See in the east the rosy rays of dawn God’s answer to what we pray

 

We are not a colony we are a people proud

We demand our freedom clear and loud

A few greedy men are always a crowd

We are not a colony we are a people proud

Listen To WE ARE A PEOPLE PROUD
