There's an oasis in the heat of the day There's a fire in the chill of night A turnabout in circumstance Makes each a hell in its own right I've been boxed-in in the lowlands, in the canyons that think I've been pushed to the brink of the precipice and d...

Oh Diane, tell me once again Sing a song of Jesus for me, friend Sing as a bird with breath drawn from God's Word Tell me of the life that never ends Sing a song of Jesus for me, friend Sing in the night with the candles burning bright Sing to the world...

If I ever get to see your face And if you will spare me I know that my allegiance to the human race Will not ensnare me If I ever get to know your mind And I survive it I'm sure that I will leave a way of life behind I won't revive it Lord, you know...

I see you now and then in dreams Your voice sounds just like it used to I know you better than I knew you then All I can say is "I love you" I thought our days were commonplace Thought they'd number in the millions Now there's only the aftertaste Of ci...

Oh the sun runs its course from the east to the west With the best of our motives illumined Then it sinks with a sigh in the dusk of the heart And our virtue lies worthless as rumour You can be what you like if you like what you are We reflect but the su...

Two trusting Jesus There begins the story Two separate pathways Leading to glory With God's Son One and one Two eternal lives begun Two trusting Jesus Are two within His care Two trusting Jesus Kneeling now together Two separate prayers They're now...

Asphalt ocean roars At islands with rubber wheels City kid can't keep on even keel Neon world says, "Gotcha" Heart says, "No, no, no Don't be swimming in the undertow" Caught between these voices The sirens and the sage One too many choices For the v...

He bears his childhood scars With a sense of injustice Not unlike the Russians' Each time he shoots from the heart He holds his breath And waits for repercussions He'd like to trust someone He'd like to love someone But he's waiting, waiting Waiting...

I knew a man who thanked God for the good things His mind made clear by his terminal disease And he wept for those who did not understand him But his tears will be washed to the sea There is a woman, lives in midtown Manhattan And the lines in her face s...

Take each other for granted It's only love we tell ourselves It's only emotion Untamed as any ocean With the wind at our backs And time on our side Breakers crashing on rocks We assume that we'll survive Watching the ship go down (In the water) Watc...

As our conversation swells and our patience somehow lingers And accusing fingers shout about insensitivity Don't we oscillate so well within our fundamental boundaries While fiery foundries melt us down and kill tranquillity But we believe so well don't w...

I went down where the road meets the sea And I took everything that I own I was sitting on catastrophe's knee I was expecting Armageddon to come Oh, the highway was choked with its usual Clots of pickups and loud radios The airwaves were full of the obv...

Sitting with a Bible in his hand He thumbs the well-worn pages like before The evening young and he an aged man He seeks to understand his Maker more Sitting in the dark in frayed attire He feels the chill of winter coming in He throws another log into...

What kind of a friend could pull a knife When it's him or you and his kids need shoes? What kind of friend would do you in When the bomb goes off and the shelter's his? What kind of friends do friends become When the musical chairs get down to one? What...

I am a miner, a miner, a miner I'm stabbing the veins and the lodes Tunneling deeper and deeper and deeper For half of the gold in the world Breaking the backs of the workers, the workers With flood coming under the ground How can I turn back, turn back,...

From New York City to Babylon Like the tooth and the claw there's the law of the missile and the gun When Eden fell we gained our shame And from that age to this there has been no significant change With broken wings we beat the air And as we plummet we...

Another day is gone The earth spins on and on And so much news is bad But with the setting sun I let the evening come Learning to be glad Stars in the evening sky Lullabye Sweet, sweet simple treasure The sun is sinking deep I lay me down to sleep...

It's the demolition derby
 It's the sport of the hunt It's the proud tribe in full war-dance
 It's the slow smile that the bully gives the runt
 It's the force of inertia
 It's the lack of constraint
 It's the children out playing in the rock garden 
Al...

Well, I got some bad news to tell you But I got some good news too What you see ain't what you get When your whole life is through But I've got a promise in the Bible And I believe it's true God loves me, and it's plain to see That same love's good for...

You could lie to me with a ring of truth And I would not understand You could lead me on to the pits of Hell I'm a less-than-perfect man Oh - Who's gonna warn me Oh - How can I tell Oh - It's so easy Believing the lies you tell You could take my hear...
