Lyrics
Wrong Crown
My Lord, they’re crowning the wrong one
Have they met Your Holy Son?
Cause’ My Lord, they’re crowning illusions
Do they know Your everlasting Love?
They’ve enthroned wickedness
Covered awesome light within
But Lord You’re the Master of Spirit
In all things, You’re where we begin
My Lord, they’re crowning the wrong one
Have they met Your Holy Son?
Cause’ My Lord, they’re crowning illusions
Do they know Your everlasting Love?
So seen is Your mercy
And praise You again
My Lord, they’re crowning the wrong one
Have they met Your Holy Son?
Cause’ My Lord, they’re crowning illusions
Do they know Your everlasting Love

Day by day in this land
Heading into the turnaway again
In the place where the sorrowful lay down
To reveal a glorious and mystic connection
Lord, this is not time bound now
So, I’ll just keep taking it day by day
In a land some crown promise but I don’t see it the same
Lord, You’ve given me a wonderful way upon which I will stay
Falling into a vast remission
Seeking out some great soul
Where my body will fade into nothing
And God’s eternal awareness shall carry on
And, I’ll just keep taking it day by day
In a land some call promise, but I don’t see it the same
Cause’ Lord You’ve given me a wonderful path upon which I will stay
And, I won’t sacrifice my dreams
For someone else’s lonely vision of old me

Refuge in Thee Pt. 2 (Prayer Sequel)
Lord, I’m gonna seek You out
Oh my Jesus I wanna to talk to You
I wanna fall down at Your feet
You gotta tell me where to go
Lord, show me the way I need that access
Won’t You light my vision?
And, I will bless Your heart
Oh give me peace now, give me peace now
At Your feet where there is refuge
Lord, I pray for the people
Lord, that they would find their way
Lord, that they would receive Your blessings
Lord, Your favor and Your peace
That the suffering would be eased in You
Ah Lord, that the healing would come through, my Jesus
Even for those who have trespassed against us
Lord, those who have done wrong
Won’t we forgive what’s been done and give it over to You, my Lord?
Oh ‘cause there is a great refuge in Thee

Refuge in Thee
I’m gonna kneel down at the feet of Jesus
I’m gonna pray lowly to my Savior
And I will look up in the eyes of my Lord
Cause’ I’ve got refuge, refuge indeed
Yes I’ve got refuge, refuge indeed
Read about the 7th chapter of Luke in the 36th verse
See my Jesus went over to the pharisee’s home to eat you know
And a sinnin’ woman found out about this gathering and went down
And when she got there, she began to weep at my Savior’s feet
Ah she began to wash His feet with her tears and dried em’ off with her hair
And then she kissed them and covered them with fragrant oil
I’m gonna go, go to my Lord
I’m gonna turn away, turn away from the devil
I’m gonna lay, lay the framework with Jesus
Cause’ I’ve got refuge, refuge in Thee
Yes I’ve got refuge, refuge in Thee
Well Jesus said to that woman, “Your sins are forgiven.” (Luke 7:48)
And those at the table were amazed at how He forgave like that
But my Lord told them, “Therefore I say to you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven,” and
“for she loved much. But to whom little is forgiven, the same loves little.” (yeah) (Luke 7:47)
I will listen to the Spirit in the depths
I will hear the word from God
And, I will be ever close to my Jesus
Cause’ I’ve got refuge, refuge in Thee
Yes I’ve got refuge, refuge in Thee

Serving Kind
Take me out of this mind
Oh Christ, light the canvas to design
Burn away and deny this ego
And heal true Spirit Jesus my Lord
Now we love You Lord
Pray it be seen
You brought the rising sun
Now we serve You Lord

You bring grace in the soul
Provide strength to cast away hatred
The unfaithful things, Jesus, you’ll have us let go
Fill these nets to overflow with fish
Cast this heart into the depths of Your sea
Now we love You Lord
Let it be kind
You brought the rising sun
Now we serve You Lord
Let it be kind
You bring grace in the soul

See the Living God
I seek Him out
When I’m down
I call His name
When I’m on the broken road
I sing to Him
A wonderful tone
Let me see the living God again
I seek Him out
In the broken place
I call Him out
To give me guidance true
I seek Him out
In the inner walls
Oh let me see the living God within
Oh child, let me see the living God within
Now I call His name
When I need Him
I call His name
Covered in dark shame
Well I sing to Him
In the living day
Oh let me see the living God within
Oh let me see the living God within

Eternally by you
It’s gone dark and you’ve forgotten to know
You were met with evil unkindness low
There’s strength waiting to abide
And I’ll forever be by your side
I’ll bring the wrong time for me, the right time for you
And I will keep you in the depths of my prayer
And when it all falls down, I’ll be at your side
You’ve got something out of your mind
Like you picked it up somewhere in the fire
Hold faith steady cause we are anew
And I’ll forever stand by your side
I’ll bring the wrong time for me, the right time for you
And I will keep you in the depths of my prayer
And when it all falls down, I’ll be by your side
And I’ll forever be by your your side
I’ll bring the wrong time for me but the right time for you
And I will keep you in the depths of my prayers with the Lord
When it all falls down, I’ll stand by your side

Attitude Gs
I can’t believe it
And after all
You had to see it
They’re talking about
I won’t believe it
And now I see it
I’m going to the sound
I’m falling through, Lordy Lord, to the top
Well I'm going straight down to that beautiful sound
Where it’s so sweet

Well I’m headed straight for that beautiful sound

In the finest day
And after all
We’re believing
We’re believing

Unreachable Creation
They will try
And it denies
Your very Human
With a soul inside
Beat someone hollow
Pretend it’s not real
With some energy
Of countless algorithms
Of countless algorithms
But they cannot own the soul within
No price given for God’s creation
And they cannot capture what can’t be found
No they’ll never own You and I my friend
No matter how hard they keep digging
They shall search
For freedom
With electric
Impulse to control
And did you know?
They seek to go
Where no one can
To control the soul
To capture the soul
Oh no
But they cannot own the soul within
No price given for God’s creation
And they cannot capture what can’t be found
No they’ll never own You and I my friend
No matter how hard they keep digging
No matter how hard they try
They cannot buy
In a faulty search
They cannot own

Christ and the Tempter
Whoa Lord Christ turned from seduction
Fasting and removing obstructions
Jesus revealing great discernment
Staying in God’s way
Refusing the serpent
Halleloo, halleloo!
Praise Jesus, oh my Lord, praise Jesus, hallelo!
Halleloo, halleloo!
Praise Jesus, oh my Lord, praise Jesus, hallelo!
When the devil came around that day
Said, “if You will fall down and worship me”
“All these things I will give You”
My Jesus said, “Away with you, Satan!”
“Worship the Lord your God,”
“and Him only you shall serve”
Halleloo, halleloo!
Praise Jesus, oh my Lord, praise Jesus, hallelo!
Halleloo, halleloo!
Praise Jesus, oh my Lord, praise Jesus, hallelo!
Halleloo, halleloo!
Praise Jesus, oh my Lord, praise Jesus, hallelo!
Praise Jesus, oh my Lord, praise Jesus, hallelo!

Song of Stillness
When I was battered down and discomforted, Lord You stayed
When I had no material with nowhere to go, Lord You reigned
When I felt my capacity was running thin, Lord You filled
Where there is no place to hide from corruption, Lord You are strength
Where false conceptions are tightly grasped, Lord You’re awake
And, where I ride the bleak darkness on the sunken shadow, Lord You stay
Cause’ I’m listening to the sweetest voice on the far side of my flesh with rapture
Then I heard, my God I heard You call me here without words in a wavelike dream
Your the song of stillness within where I drop these things I can’t hold forever
As the new day is turned on the flip of the earth, Lord You stay
In the depths of this chasmic contemplation, Lord You stay
Singing access to my Love is yours, is yours, is yours

Nature in God
Walking in the kingdom garden
How we connect from within
An unburdened wind sends sweetness from flowers
The Lord’s peace takes us beyond minutes and hours now
Look across the Valley at the mountain tops above
See the One Spirit moving the birds of Love
Vast skies of wisdom and faithfulness raining down
Great creation from the hands of God now
As the moon reflects a white cover across the ocean
We discover this amazing nature where all is renewed
And, look across the Valley at the mountain tops above
See the One Spirit moving the birds of Love
Vast skies of wisdom and faithfulness raining down
Great creation from the hands of God now
Nature in the Lord, beautiful and complete now

Waltz of God
All these steps to enjoy
As we move side to side
It’s a sweet dance
In this connection we are free again
As can be
I’ll just go on and sway
The Good Lord shows the way
And I’m okay
When the music finds me there
In God’s great harmony
So goes the waltz of the One True
The dance of God
And so goes the waltz of the Most High
The dance of God
Well I gotta rhythm within
God might place my feet there again
Wild and majestic sound
Is returning this place around
In the Lord’s Orchestra
So goes the waltz of the One True
The dance of God
And so goes the waltz of the Most High
The dance of God
Around comes the move of the True High
All to dance, all to dance with God
Lord with your lighting
Won’t you come by tonight and
Break down my mind?
Won’t you gather up this soul?
Oh, Lord with your lighting
Won’t you come by tonight and
Break down my mind and
Gather up this soul?
Gather up this soul

We’re rising with Glory again
Yes Lord, we’re rising with Glory within
And God’s great guidance will surely find us

Travelers
In the many days of moving about
A joyful noise we share here and there
The travelers sometime stay and wait
And, sometimes they’ll go without direction
Oh let’s begin the traverse
Oh let’s traverse this place
Ah circulate the traverse
Whoa circulate the traverse
Some pathways we are heading back
So long, longing in the will of thee
To take on the travelers’ toll
Freedom to those that go
Whoa let’s begin the traverse
Whoa let’s begin the traverse
Whoa let’s begin the traverse
Whoa let’s begin the traverse
We said, “let’s sit right back”
“And, live in ease”
“We don’t have to force the feeling neat”
“We’ve made it this far”
“Let’s bring it down”
“Make a circle to gather around”

In Good Time Blues
This pain I’m feelin’ today
Won’t stick around too much
That deep sting in the middle of me
Whoa God shall set me free
This evil thing circling my love
It don’t move me from my praise
Heartache can thrive in its season
But God is the shield of I
That way that I’m walking, ain’t staying long
This way that I’m walking, ain’t so far gone
Alright with your good time, Lord
Satisfied with your right time, Lord
Alright with your right time, Lord
Satisfied with your good time, Lord
This way that I’m walking, ain’t so long
This way that I’m walking, ain’t so far gone

There’s a Great Spirit moving
There’s a Holy Ghost Train moving

There’s a Holy Ghost Train moving (now)

In that promise land so to find
I’ll be running endless for miles
Whoa Great Spirit send me
It’s always around
And it was before
And it will be again
Like a steam powered engine fire
Bolting across the old line higher
Some wind blowing down the mountain side
I’m flowing with that one sublime
In that promise land I go to find her
My Lord bringing in the new day
Whoa Great Spirit send me
It’s always around
And it was before
And it will be again
It’s coming back tonight
Arriving now with Holy Might
Arriving right on time

The Storyteller
Well it isn’t always easy to be a storyteller
Sometimes he’s gotta’ dig in the depths of his silence
Many days find him in reflection
So the words won’t go to waste
Well sometimes it isn’t easy to be a storyteller
He’s become very honest with his eyes
Some nights living in alone the distant
He’s gone so very far from his mind
While it may seem easy to be a storyteller
Many times he’s had to fight for the page
And then right down to line it goes
Many things he has done just to get by
Now some may call him “The Easy Storyteller”
But it’s just name to him and nothing more
And in his soul, it is never forgotten
Many things just fly along in the breeze
Many things just fly along in that breeze
Oh, many things just fly along in the breeze

It arrives, when I’m down
Trials take, deceit believed in
Soul moves between, flesh and Spirit

I wanna’ reach you Lord right now
To console alone with you right
I gotta’ talk it over in prayer
Talkin’ about, that one lone sound
Seen it comin’, and I will be still now
Take this mind, take this soul
Lord you know, I rest in you
I wanna’ talk it over in prayer
I wanna’ reach you Lord right now
To console alone with you right
I gotta’ talk over in prayer
I gotta’ talk over in prayer

Watching the dogs run

Sound of the wood chop
Sound of the wood chop
The ax
Osprey returning

So fast
Now it looks like, you’ve just come home
Whoa it looks like, you’ve just come home

Look at the dogs chase
The cats
See fields swaying
See fields swaying
And they last
Wonderful feeling
Wonderful feeling
Beautiful land

Beyond and Ever Near
Went out with the mind
Leading the way
Broken down to see straight
The challenges in front of me
Were such a great blessing
And this broke through
You shine light through the darkness
And meet that great awakening
Reaching you to realize
The absolute and free
And I, will-give-these-praises
And-now-I, will-be-so-grateful
And I, will-hand-it-over
Oh when I, thankful I go
There is no forcing
In that true way
Measurements won’t do
But I know it’s ever near
You shine light through the darkness
And meet that great awakening
Reaching you to realize
The absolute and free
Now I, will-give-these-praises
And I, will-be-so-grateful
I will-hand-it-over
Oh-I, thankful I go
I-seen-in-your-vastness
And-now-I, forever in you go I
Now I, thankful I go
