My Poor Generation

Elder White [Markko / Hill]
Out of the backwoods of the Mississippi delta
Came Elder White to fight for civil rights
Was he right?

He and Sister Brown, they went to town
Tried to ride a bus, people called it lust
Were they right?

Out of the swamp of Louisiana
Came a young man, played Gospel piano
He joined Elder White to fight for civil rights
Was he right?

He and Sister Black, they broke their back
In a sit-down strike, they didn't believe in force or might
We think they were right.

How low can a snake crawl?
Can a man mount up any higher?
Away to the north I see whole cities on fire
They said peace and love was their only desire
Oh, America! Oh, America!
I see the seas rolling in on you
While high on the mountaintops
The vultures behold the view
Oh, America! Oh, America!
Remember the one they crucified
His mother was a Jew.

Lonely Street
[Massmann]
If you're wandering down a lonely street and
Looking for why you're existing in something called peace, well you
Ain't gonna find it unless you hear me,
Hey ya ain't gonna find it unless you hear me.
Well I can introduce you to the farthest out thing in life and His
Name is Jesus Christ and He'll show you the truth and the light -
If you can bear to hear it - He'll show you the truth and the light.

Well you've all been on your charades of dope, but it
Didn't show you the way, nope,
Just gave you a plastic high and opened doors to an empty sky.
It only opened doors to an empty sky.
And booze just gave you the blues and made you more confused.

But truly I say unto you that it is right
And He's gonna bring you happiness, joy and light
He's gonna bring you happiness, joy and light
He's gonna bring you happiness, joy and light
He's gonna bring you happiness, joy and light
He's gonna bring you happiness, joy and light

My Poor Generation
[Markko]
My poor generation laments and wails,
Crowds the institutions, overruns the jails.
Sing and moan they play their guitars
Hustle whores and live in the bars.

Puffin' pot they live in slop break the laws and kill the cops.
Go to school they learn no rule and call the wise old man a fool
Talk of action, sit on a stool! My poor generation!

Criticize the fellowship use LSD and take a trip
While the world rolls on by.
Get off a trike and get on a bike, grow a beard they're really weird like
Little children out to play.

Sit and mope they have no hope forget the soap, nothing can be clean
And they don't want Jesus to be real, no they don't want Jesus to be real.

Tom Miller
[King]
O Tom Miller can you see I'm doing all I can?
O Tom Miller, wait for me at the gate to the promised land
You went on ahead of me now I must go alone
And so did Christ on Calvary, it will be worth it once we get home.

O Tom Miller I'll see you in the promised land
Standing there with Jesus hand in hand
Standing there with Jesus hand in hand

Great Victory
[Schwartz]
I was under a curse and my heart was filled with fear
Yes I was under a spell and my heart was filled with fear
Well the pains of Hell got hold and the sorrow of death was oh so near.

Then my heart was broken and all my life in vain
Oh, and my heart was broken and my whole life in vain
Then they told me about Jesus they said He's the glory of a man

Oh what a great victory when Jesus gave His life for me
Oh what a great love - laid down His life for you and me
Well He defeated this mean ol' world when He was killed upon that tree.

Now isn't Jesus good? Gave His life to save the flock
Oh isn't Jesus good? Gave His life to save the flock
He took me out of witchcraft and put my feet on solid Rock.

Ancient of Days
[Markko / Hill]
Knowledge deep and knowledge long
Wisdom wide, and Wisdom strong
Ancient of elves the beard growing white
Vision in mind heart full of light

Sage of all prophets King above wizards
Warmth of the summer, cold of the winter
Long-bearded Elder, Ancient of days
Healer of sickness, Guider of ways

Strong strength of man, beauty of woman
The great Rod of Moses, the Cure for all sinning
Hermit in forest, covered with skin
Sweet hidden spirit of all lovely whims.

Sun of the morning, moonlight at night
Honking of geese that move out in flight
Singing of Wisdom Who made it all
Changing of seasons, spring and the fall

In the beginning Creator of man
Put him to sleep and then gave him Pam.

The Lord is My Shepherd
[Massmann/KJB]
[Text from Psalm 23]

Daughter of Zion
[Schwartz / Hill]
You're the daughter of Zion
Got a King who's meek and lowly
[2x]
Riding on an ass's foal
[2x]
Riding on an ass's foal
Even as the prophet's told
Even as the prophet's told
Hear the multitude
I said, hear the multitude
Hear 'em cry!

Sing a new song
Come on along
Let the children of Zion be joyful together
Praise Him together
In the King's congregation
Come on and sing
Aw, let's make it ring
Praise ye the Lord
I said praise ye the Lord
Praise the Lord!

Sing it from your heart
Play it on your harp
Play it on your timbrel
On your loud-sounding cymbal
Blow it on your trumpet
I said blow it on your trumpet
Praise Him in the dance
I said praise Him in the dance
Let everything that has breath
I said everything that has breath
Praise the Lord!

Christmas Song
[Massmann]
For I know it is true
Christ was born on Christmas Day
And the tree was trim, tall, and bare.
For I know it is true
That I know I love You
And it's sure and strong in my soul
For I know it is true
Under the tree I found Your card
It said, "I love you."

There is Still Hope in Jesus
[Markko / Hill]
There's a rainbow for every cloud
And there's a smile, my friend, for every frown
And when your life has gone to pieces
And you think it's the end, my friend,
There is still hope in Jesus, let Him
Pick up the pieces of your life and start anew
There's so much good you can do.

Hurricane winds blow on the same beach that the sun did shine
And out of that ol' lump of coal a diamond shines
And when you feel your life is worthless
And you don't know where to go, just know,
There is still hope in Jesus, let Him
Pick up the pieces of your life and start anew
There's so much good you can do.

I know a teenage girl that made a mistake,
And when she told her parents
she thought her mother's heart would break.
But in her loneliest, darkest hour
When there seemed no way she heard a voice say,
"There is still hope in Jesus, let Him
Pick up the pieces of your life and start anew
There's so much good you can do."

We had a childhood friend whose name was Val,
And the whole wide world knew we were pals
And one dark day, in a shadow, he walked away,
To him we'd like to say,
There is still hope in Jesus, let Him
Pick up the pieces of your life and start anew
There's so much good you can do.

The Flowers of Time
[Massmann]
In the flowers of time, body, soul, and mind,
I've come to find there's no way leaving You.
Who shall separate us from Thy love?
Shall troubles and worries coming down?
Though I hurt within, I am born again
What shall separate us from Thy love?

In the flowers of time, body, soul, and mind,
I've come to find there's no way leaving You
And in that Day, all our tears shall be wiped away
Who is to say it shall not be so?
Who shall separate us from Thy love?
Shall troubles and worries coming down?

In the flowers of time, body, soul, and mind,
I've come to find there's no way leaving You.
 

 

Brainwashed

Peace, Love and Rock and Roll [Berkey]
How many times have I told you, "What are you going back there for?"
How many times have I showed you it's quite in vain?
If the big, bad world only knew what it was in store for….
Don't let it drown you down with all its pain.

[Refrain]
Wake up! Come home to Jesus!
Do it with all your heart and make a new start.

Didn't have nothin' to offer but mass confusion
Everybody singin' the blues and lookin' back.
"Peace love and rock 'n' roll" was just an illusion
And if you didn't pay your dues you wound up on the bottom of the stack.

[Refrain]

"Peace love and rock 'n' roll" was just an illusion
And if you didn't pay your dues you wound up on the bottom of the stack.

[Refrain]

Ode to Glenn Schwartz
[Markko]
The door of the martyrs soon will be open.
The Church cannot change it, the Prophets have spoken.
All wedding vows are all being broken,
Promises, promises all empty tokens.
Images, images out of the past,
Who'll win my soul Lord, there at the last.

Fell on my knees once, it hurt so I rose
My woman, my woman dressed me up in white clothes.
She took off her ring and put it in my nose
And I follow her now wherever she goes.

But the great King of glory is calling my name
If I don't give my all soon I won't be the same.
I know what I must do Lord, kill my pride
I got no place to run to, no place to hide.
My sins are before me on the altar they lay
I know they'll destroy me--let us pray

Seek Him
[Schwartz]
Yes you'll find Him when you seek Him with your whole heart.
Yeah you'll find Him when you seek Him with all your heart.
Jesus has always been there, yes He's been there from the start

If that's the way He wants it that's the way it's gonna be.
If that's the way He wants it that's the way it's gonna be.
Satan can't stop me now 'cause Jesus has set me free.

Don't Look Back
[Markko / Hill]
When I was younger God took me from the city,
He led me by the hand.
He took me to the country where everything is pretty
and taught me by a man.
He told me, "You better leave the city, better get quick
You know that fallout's gonna make you sick!"
When God Almighty burns the cities down
people will be running for miles around
As Sodom and Gomorrah came down in dust
so the cities of America surely must
When God Almighty burns the cities down.

Remember Lot? He had a wife
She just couldn't give up the city life.
Didn't want to give up the things she had,
She didn't think that the city of sin was so bad.
So she turned around once to look for a spell
God condemned her soul to hell, He said,
"Two will be sleeping in a single bed one will be taken, one left for dead.
As Sodom and Gomorrah came into dust
so the cities of America surely must
When God Almighty burns the cities down

"If I can't get to your body I'll get to your mind.
I'll think of some way to leave you behind.
One day I'll leave you wallowin' in the ditch,
in the meantime I'll use you to get off my kicks."

When the vulture gobbles up what's left by the dove
And we say we did it all in the name of love
And you crawl out from your small narrow crack,
Screamin' "Forgive me, baby, some way I'll make up the slack!"
While a foreign spy's gun points at your back!

Realized I got too far behind. A speedin' bullet tore open my spine.
My fadin', dyin' eyes asked for a sign
I couldn't understand it, it was really too much
I saw movin' toward me a white, rattlin' crutch.

[Repeat 2nd verse]

Lonely
[King]
You just don't know what lonesome really is
until you've lived without the Lord
You just don't know what lonesome really is.

You cry yourself to sleep each night, no Savior there to show the light
And you're lonely, lonely, lonely when you live without the Lord.

You just can't start to visualize the plight
Of what without-the-Lord would be
To walk each day and night

You just don't know what lonesome really is
until you've lived without the Lord.
You're lonely, lonely, lonely when you live without the Lord.

You just don't know what lonesome really is
until you've lived without the Lord.
I was lonely, lonely, lonely when I lived without the Lord.

Frog Alley
[Markko / Hill / KJB]
Down in Frog Alley that's where the voodoo has really got 'em
Bury their sacrifices in a well they say it has no bottom.
Down in Frog Alley that's where the voodoo people live
Down in Frog Alley where the people are so poor they got nothing to give
Down in Frog Alley where the people ain't got no clothes
Down in Frog Alley where the babies only have a pair of "these and those."

And there shall be none among you that causes his son or daughter to pass through the fire or that useth divination or that seeketh familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a witch, nor an enchanter, nor a consulter of times, nor a necromancer, for all these things are an abomination unto the LORD your God, and for these things the LORD shall drive them out from before thee.

And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits and unto wizards that peep and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

A coal-black angel now strides the earth, smiling with great content
Watching the children do those things that made their fathers repent.
Placing his hand over his mouth, he laughs so greatly amused
He reaches down and he touches some clown
who dies so greatly confused

Down in Frog Alley that's where the voodoo has really got 'em
Bury their sacrifices in a well they say it has no bottom.

Messed Up
[Schwartz]
This old sinful body, sometimes it makes me sigh and groan.
This old earthly body, sometimes it makes me weep and moan.
Give me the low-down, shakin' chill
and I found out what it means to be alone.

Yeah, I was on a good-healthy-draft-fightin'-lovin'-peace-tokin'-LSD-world-philosophy-bold-cold-hot-guitar-pickin'-psychedelic-wizard-blind-mystic-one-way ticket to everlasting death. The devil was always offering me the best but giving me the worst. He offered me freedom and then tied my hands behind my back. When torment set in he laughed at me so I tried Scientology, yoga, self-realization, meditating, good worldly things, but I just kept sinking lower. I tried everything but Jesus. There is a way which seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Early one morning I was just as scared as I could be.
Early in the morning I was just as scared as I could be
I asked God to forgive me and Jesus to help me please

Jesus said, "If a man keep My saying, he shall never see death."

When I gave my heart to Jesus
I could feel the earth shaking all under my feet
When I gave my heart to Jesus
I could feel the earth shaking all up under my feet
Wasn't that a glorious victory as I knelt down at the mercy seat.

See the Flesh Fly
[Massmann]
Live in the city?
It really ain't so pretty
They invade so quickly see the flesh fly.
Heard the word, thought it was absurd
Only to turn to death and die.

Screaming children by the billions
They come to kill with little mercy
Marching to drums with many guns
They were taught and brainwashed and are bloodthirsty

So what will you do when they come for you
and you're not ready for eternity?
Accept Christ and He'll give you life
fear not those who kill the body, but rather
Fear God who can, both soul and mind.

[Repeat 1st verse]

Smilin' Dog
[Massmann / Hill]
Oh, Blue Mondays, Tuesday's always sad
Wednesday's a drag, and Thursday's just as bad.
It's rock 'n' roll Friday, and Saturday's just singin' the blues

Drivin' down the highway don't know where I may go
Drivin' down the highway I don't know where I may go
I'm ridin' on a bus, I know it's going too slow

Got off the bus, was goin' round in a fog.
Got off in Cleveland, going round in a fog
Now we're sittin' at a table havin' a ball at the Smilin' Dog

Oh, Someone's knockin', knockin' at my door
Oh, Someone's knockin', knockin' at my door.
I better do somethin' about it, I may not have a chance no more.

Our Answer
[Massmann]
Save by Thy name, O Lord in power, my Judge, appear
Mine earnest prayer do Thou regard and to my voice give ear.
For foes against me rise oppressors seek my soul
They set not God before their eyes nor own His just control.
My helper is the Lord with those who me defend
With fear he shall reward my foes on them destruction send.

I'll freewill offerings bring and sacrifice with joy
Thy name is good its praise to sing my tongue I will employ.
Because from all my woes the Lord hath set me free
And He the ruin of my foes hath made my eyes to see.



 

For Christians, Elves and Lovers

Stephen [Berkey]
Time is wasting away, I gotta get moving
Brothers and sisters, hey, look at the hours we're losing
We are chosen people to do a task
And we're gonna meet the devil someday when he takes off his mask

But remember Stephen when the clouds began to break away
He looked up into heaven and saw Jesus at the Father's side.
He looked up into heaven and saw Jesus at His side.

Soon the hour will come, it's gonna get very, very dark.
But He's gonna give the power to some,
the light will shed forth in your heart.
Just keep looking at Jesus and hear His voice
You're not the only one take heed cause you still have a choice.

But remember Stephen when the clouds began to break away
He looked up into heaven and saw Jesus at the Father's side.
He looked up into heaven and saw Jesus at His side.

Merry-Go-Round
[Massmann]
Merry-go-round in the meadow down
Ponies are prancing, honeybees dancing.
Brooks are sparkling, water sweet and pure
Come and dine my love spring is here

By the Fire
[Massmann]
Hand in hand by the fire shadows danced on the wall
Yellow flames leaping higher, did you call?
Quiet, still - how peaceful was the look on your face
In my heart I'll keep the memory of that place

God sometimes in simplicity His mysteries unfold
This precious love now calls to me You're the smile of my soul

The 100th Psalm
[Massmann /KJB/ Hill]
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
Know ye that the LORD he is God:
it is he that made us, and not we ourselves;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise.
Be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting;
and his truth endureth to all generations.

Try to keep it hid from the kids, try to conceal, but they still know He's real. Mmmm

Open the gates, I wanna give thanks
Open the gates, I wanna give thanks
Mmmm
Make a joyful noise!
Make a joyful noise!

Enter His courts, enter with praise
Praise God the Father, the Son He did raise
Spread the message from coast to coast
Every boy and girl can have the Holy Ghost.
Mmmm
Make a joyful noise!
Make a joyful noise!
Noise!
noise…

Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
Know ye that the LORD he is God:
it is he that made us, and not we ourselves.
We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise.
Be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting;
and his truth endureth to all generations.

You Haunt My Mind
[Massmann]
Every girl wants to meet a boy, every boy wants to meet a girl
And sometimes they fall in love
This is the way it should be and since I met you, you haunt my mind

They say that marriage is meant to be true and since I met you
I'm no longer content to be alone,
I want a home

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
And I John saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

They say that marriage is meant to be true and since I met you
I'm no longer content to be alone
I want a home

Water Street
[Massmann / Hill]
Hear the padded beat of the naked feet
Down on Water Street, Water Street
Hear the beat of Satan's retreat
Off of Water Street, Water Street
There's a new thing done, there's a shining Son
Down on Water Street, Water Street
There's a new thing done, there's a shining Son
Down on Water Street, Water Street
Oh, Water Street, yeah, Water Street
Water Street, Water Street
Oh, Water Street, yeah, Water Street
Water Street, Water Street

Do you hear the song, now come on along
Down to Water Street, Water Street
Do you hear the song, don't you wanna come along
Down to Water Street Water Street

Water Street, yeah, Water Street
Water Street, Water Street
Oh, Water Street, yes, Water Street
Water Street, Water Street

Theme of the Fellowship of the Ring
[Hill]
One ring to rule them, and one to find them
In Mordor where the shadows lie
One ring to gather, in the darkness bind them
In Mordor where the shadows lie
The Dark Lord of power
In Mordor where the shadows lie
A dark spirit gathers and falls from the sky
In Mordor where the shadows lie.

Frodo and Samwise they did quite well
In Mordor where the shadows lie
Destroyed the Ring in fires of Hell
In Mordor where the shadows lie
Hobbits destroyed it and they did quite well
In Mordor where the shadows lie
Halflings did it, even one that fell
In Mordor where the shadows lie
The Fellowship prevailed against the Two Towers
In Mordor where the shadows lie
Can we do as well in this hour, destroy its power
In Mordor where the shadows lie

Elfin Chimes
[Massmann]
Hear the singing of Elfin chimes
Guarding, caring Elfin rhymes
Under the flowers, over the grass
Reaching mortal ears at last

Saucy senders revving up rifs,
Under stars every breeze drifts.
Amplifiers amped at crickets and frogs
Rhythm thumped out by rabbits on logs

Nature tuning, getting in pitch
Giggle by Miss Summer Spring gurgling in a ditch
Mysteries far beyond our mind
So hard by man to quite refine

But love between two souls makes it not too hard to touch

The Big Race
[Durkos]
Saw a sign was hangin', said "This is the Big Race,"
Said you'd better join it 'cause you've got yourself to face.
Quickly I went runnin' looking for a place to hide
Tightly hangin' onto what is called a foolish pride

While I went a-walkin', walkin' down the road
Met a man was comin' carryin' a heavy load.
Said, "Boy, you better hurry, I just came from that way
People there are sinnin' and you know there's a price to pay."

Said, "They're all a-sinnin' and it's nearin' Judgment Day
I had to leave there early before I had a chance to say,
'Jesus, Son of glory, has walked that narrow way'
You run there and tell them 'fore we waste another day"

Quickly I went runnin', lookin' for a place to hide
Tightly hangin' onto what is called a foolish pride.

Great Victory
[See above]

The Lord is My Shepherd
[See above]

Old Man Daniel
[King / Hill]
Old man Daniel in the lions' den
He heard that in Jesus he had a real good friend
He learned the answer when he learned to pray

[Refrain]
Your troubles may come, your troubles may go
But if you trust in Jesus He will surely save your soul
Learn the answer, why don't you finally learn to pray?

The Hebrew children they threw in the fire
They heaped the coals upon them and the flames grew higher and higher
They learned the answer when they learned to pray

[Refrain]

Old man Schwarz, they threw him in jail
But the whole wide world knew it was because of his frail
He learned the answer when he learned to pray

[Refrain]

You may be travelin' a rough and rocky road
You may have set heaven as you're one and only goal
Learn the answer, why don't you finally learn to pray?

[Refrain]

Valley of Decision
[Berkey]
Keep reading your Bible, continue to pray
Deep sweepin' darkness try take it away
Read long and hide it with prayer in your heart
And if you don't pray an hour a day then you'd better start.

Get to know your husband, seek to obey
Pale horseback riders are coming this way
I don't know exactly, but I will say soon
There's war in my country there's blood on the moon

And if you think when tribulation comes you'll start to fly
Jesus rose up after He chose to die
Up it stands before you, can you tell me which one
All the saints are walking down into the valley of decision.

Larry's Song [Massmann]
[instrumental]



 

Sower

Read Sea Rising [Markko]
You know the Red Sea's rising and the waves are looking kinda rough [2x]
But I want to keep on going even though the going's getting kinda tough
[2x]
The people are all uptight and the Pharaoh's rollin' down on me [2x]
And I'm afraid I heard You say You want us to walk out in the sea
[2x]
The thunder is clapping and the lightning is flashing all around
[2x]
But there's a noise upon the waters and a rumbling deep within the ground

Sometimes you may think that the Lord doesn't see or really care
The time may well come when you think God doesn't see or really care
But ol' Pharaoh couldn't swim a lick, God knew just how to answer prayer.
You know the Pharaoh couldn't swim a lick,
God knew just how to answer prayer.

I've seen my piece of action and you know I had my share,
I've been searching for the answer
but the answer was always there [it was always there]
It wasn't very hard, it was really quite easy, the simple thing I had to do
All I said was, "Jesus, won't You help me be true to myself and You?"
and now I have found the truth
I said, I have found the truth, I'm the living proof.

A one-way street with a one-way sign, I couldn't make up my mind
To flow with the traffic or go my own way, but the truth I wanted to find.
Good God Almighty I'm thankin' You for helping me make the right choice
Now I can stand with innocent hands
and I can raise my voice to tell the world
I have found the truth. I said, I have found the truth, I'm the living proof.

Inner Light
[Markko / Hill]
Deep within the depths of my inner self break the waves of understanding
Upon the shores of my conscious mind.
Washing back leaves pearls of revelation
That save my soul from vast starvation.

Christ within shedding light and He's saving me from inner blight.
Joy so great and out of sight, that this world of sin with all its might
Cannot take from me what God's own Son has shown to me
What God's own Son has shown to me

This world of sin with all its might
Cannot take from me what God's own Son has shown to me
What God's own Son has shown to me

Peace Like a River
[Markko]
Peace like a river is flowing through my soul, and it
Flows from the Giver of life the Keeper of my soul, and there's
Love like a fountain bubbling up within my heart, it takes
Me past the mountainous fears that nearly broke my heart.
You know Love stole my soul away. Your love stole my soul away.

Hope like an ocean, boundless without a shore, along with
Faith, full of devotion, the key to heaven's door.
You know that God's peace is like the sunlight that drives away the clouds
and it's as soft as a moonbeam upon a winter's shroud.
You know Love stole my soul away. Your love stole my soul away.

Joy like a rainbow that brightens up the day, and His
Truth is like the echo that never fades away.
You know God's mercy is beyond description,
there's nothing much I can say,
except it all come from Jesus He stole my soul away.
You know that Love stole my soul away. Your love stole my soul away.

Beautiful Morning
[Markko]
It's a beautiful morning it's a beautiful day
Because Jesus has come and He's washed all my sins away
You think you're happy well, my friend, so did I
But that smile on your face cannot hide the tear in your eye.
Have you found the time to fall down on your knees?
Because you can't see the chains that doesn't mean you're free.
It's a beautiful morning it's a beautiful day
Because Jesus has come and He's washed all my sins away

Jesus is a Friend Who sticks closer than a brother
And when He lives in your heart we can naturally love one another.
Will you be ready for that beautiful day
When Jesus will come and carry His bride away?
It's a beautiful morning it's a beautiful day
Because Jesus has come and He's rolled all my fears away

And now I thank God I'm free.
Thank God, I'm free.
Jesus came and He broke the chains
He paid the price now it's free
For you and for me.

Sower
[Markko]
Behold a sower went forth to sow bearing precious seed in his hand
Hoping on hope that he might see it grow.
Knowing that the harvest might well come before the bloom
He runs on his way there's no time to be goin' slow.
Hurry, take what you've got, do with it what you can
'Cause the good God in heaven needs a sower in the land.

Some seed fell by the wayside, some of it fell among thorns
Some of it fell upon stony ground.
These would never bring forth fruit, for they would not believe
That when the sower was gone, the reaper would be comin' around
Hurry, take what you've got, do with it what you can
'Cause the good God in heaven needs a sower in the land.

Lift up your eyes for the fields are already white.
Work while it's day, children, can't you feel the oncoming night?

[Repeat 1st verse]

Hurry, take what you've got, do with it what you can.
Because the Reaper in heaven needs a sower in the land.
Hurry!

Prince of the International Kaleidoscope
[Massmann / Hill]
White, red, black, and pale horses are coming
When are you gonna stop your running?
Universal death is in the land, don't think that you can hide.
Hell, war, and destruction will sweep you under the tide
Unless you make your stand now. Jesus will see you through somehow
You better keep on prayin' or in a grave you'll be layin'
Or in a grave you'll be layin'.

Ten kings spinning in a circle.
A royal prostitute dressed in purple.
White robes, too, the martyrs' blood she drank
Frightened by the Gospel from the truth she shrank
Rockefeller's fellows rocked, nation's ships sank;
All Rome's hills can't cure her ills
White horse rider puts the world in shock
White horse rider puts the world in shock

John Birch Society flaunts before the world its piety
Never pointed to the Jesuit society.
Is it scared to?
Unless you make your stand now, Jesus will see you through somehow
You better keep on prayin' or in a grave you'll be layin'.
Or in a grave you'll be layin'.

International bankers and roundtable groups
got all the nations jumpin' through hoops.
But out of their ranks I doubt if there's one
that knows that their father's a Jesuit's son.
With all of these maneuverings.....
There is no hope in the pope
All the king's horses and men
Couldn't put Rome together again
Couldn't put Rome together again

Beautiful city across the sea beckoning with grace to you and me.
Through confession gains her fee, claims to be the city of eternity.
With priests and nuns and concubines, she traps the world in her divines
Bearer of the Benign light, Black Madonna of the night.
Black Madonna of the night

Round table, round table, do you think that you'll be able
Causing war and causing famine Antichrist power you'll be havin'
Unless you make your stand now, Jesus will see you through somehow
You better keep on prayin' or in a grave you'll be layin'.
Or in a grave you'll be layin'.

White horseman coming with a bow in his hand
Here's his brother Red spreading war through the land
Black horseman steals food from the sod
Pale horse comes running he is sent from God
Death is his name, we know his fame
With his tracks on the earth it won't be the same
The Lamb's sacrifice is made
Forgive our sins, Jesus, in Your holy name
Forgive our sins, Jesus, in Your holy name
Forgive our sins, Jesus, in Your holy name

All Across the Nation
[Markko / Hill]
All across the nation
People in expectation
Wait for devastation
Read it in the Book of Revelation
Set in fascination

Seven headed beast of Rome
God's church is going home
From the greatest to the least
Across the earth the mark of the beast

See a rider on a white horse
Steers the stars for his course
Said He'd come like a thief in the night
All you sinners better get right

[Repeat 1st verse]

Children of the Day
[Markko]
Upon the shores of Egypt's ocean you reached out with mixed emotion.
Seas of sins washed o'er your feet and held you down there was no retreat
But when the Lord had something to say you never let sin block the way.
Children of the day hear the Lord say, "Look My way, look My way"

From way across the sea of sin came a golden ship that took you in.
Sails of love that filled the sky encompassed you and you began to cry
But when the Lord had something to say you never let tears block the way.
Children of the day hear the Lord say, "Look My way, look My way"

How can you see the sun when your eyes are filled with clouds?
How can you see anything when you've become so proud?
How can you see your own soul when you've forgotten to pray?
How can you hope to see the day?
How can you hope to see the day?
How can you hope to see the day?

Old Rugged Cross
[Galbraith]
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.

Refrain:
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

To the old rugged cross I will ever be true;
Its shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away,
Where His glory forever I'll share.
