Maker of the sky Land and water carry me Shelter me from this coming storm Hide me in the shadows of your wings I cannot see Your my present help in time of need Maker of the sky Land and water carry me Shelter me from this coming storm Hide me in the shadows of your wings I cannot see Your my present help in time of need Though the wind may blow And darkness fills the sky I lift my eyes and see salvation come Sunlight shining through the clouds of this impending storm Gives rays of hope that I shall see no harm Maker of the sky Land and water carry me Shelter me from this coming storm

Zig Zag 07:34
This life of mine, gets so confusing And I don't know what I should do Sometimes I win, and next I'm losing But I've got a love, to see me through Walk the zig zag line One step at a time Here I go Just watch me go Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining I'm just kind of new, around here I've never walked this way, and I'm still learning So please don't criticize my mistakes Walk the zig zag line One step for mankind Here I go Let's start the show The time has come now to take our place Stand in line and let's start the race Walk this line, it's line on line One small step on the zig zag line Take up your cross, deny yourself Lay aside, the old mans cloak And walk the zig zag, zig zag

As I walk along, between the walls I'll go high above, where I can see the falls I'll walk the valley in the shadow of death Narrow beams of sunlight on my path High above the gorge, I stop to catch my breath I've climbed the steps up to the top and felt their wrath The water falls below me, to a pool beneath my feet And looking down I'm sore afraid There's a battle inside of my head Spirit is fighting the flesh My heart says its time to move on But comfortable fear sounds alarm And I feel the thorn Gathering near, a crowd appears Their voices call, they echo off the walls I can't look down, or to my left or right I'm paralyzed, and I close my eyes And I hear the voices say "You can rest hear but you can't stay" I say "Take my hand I'm afraid" But they're standing to far away And as the battle inside of my head Gets louder with each word that's said Now is the time to move on But I'm standing here frozen in time It's a trial, a trial by fire And it purifies, your deepest desire Dont be afraid, dont look back See the future, as you want it to be Just move ahead, to the beat of your heart And remember what you're fighting for Be the one that makes you proud It's a trial, a trial by fire And it purifies, your deepest desire Dont be afraid, dont look back See the future, as you want it to be Just move ahead, to the beat of your heart And remember what you're fighting for And remember what you're fighting for Be the one that makes you proud So if a battles inside of your head Just remember these words I've said You might be rich or poor No matter your lot You'll feel the thorn

Adam 07:32
Crafted from the dust of earth Made by Gods own hand Adam what you see is yours Adam you’re a man Adam where are you? Adam, where are you? Adam where are you, Adam where are you, Adam where are you Where are you Adam, made in my image You won’t be alone I will craft a woman for you Craft her from your bone Adam, oh Adam, I’ll walk with you Adam where are you? Adam, where are you? Adam where are you, Adam where are you, Adam where are you Where are you Eden is your homeland The gardener you’ll be It’s fruits are perfect for you All except this tree Adam, oh Adam Where are you Oh my precious children What have you done? My heart aches for you Tempted by a fallen one Out of Eden you must go My Angel will guard these gates Struggles lie before you While you await my saving grace

Alarm goes off, it's 6am Another day of work ahead I look outside, and see the rain No sunshine, here today So I go downstairs to have my breakfast with the news Get your daily dose of outrage Have it for breakfast with the news Fresh facts and figures Guarantee you'll never lose Everything that they told you Every word that they say Is designed to provoke you So you'll tune in every day No time for reflection, No time to get it right Just offer a rejection Don't rest, until it's a fight It's just another discussion Lopsided point of view It's a head on collision coming straight at you Accidents, waiting to happen When you're going the wrong way, on a one way street I got my car to work this morning Got my paper on the way I turned on the radio had to hear what they'd say It's just another discussion Lopsided point of view It's a head on collision coming straight at you Accidents, waiting to happen When you're going the wrong way, on a one way street
