HOW MANY ROSEBUDS
(Tomtom Beat 120)
[Am]How many rose buds [E]never get to [Am]bloom
How many new born leaves [E]fall all too [Am]soon
[C]Is it ever too late to clear [G]ground choked with [C]weeds
To tend a living tree [G]when it sheds [Am]tears
Chorus
If [C]only we could find a [F]new kind of man
[C]One who'd wipe [G]away the [C]tears
[E]If only we could [Am]find a mother with time
[D]One who'd tend to [G]fears
[C]If we could find [F]people who [C]cared
This world [G]would be so [C]fine
How many special kids fill up prison cells
How many gifted ones work the factory lines
How much talent goes wasted in this world
Just because no one took the time or cared
Chorus
How many times must Jesus die to save the world
How many adults are still locked up in fears
Does the world have such a hold to keep us in its cult
Fill our kids with fears and say it's their own fault
Chorus
If we could find people who cared
This world would be so fine
Like an Ocean
In the beginning I walked my own road
Just wondering why some took another way
I used to think that heaven was for those
Who could not walk who could not stand alone
I was invincible I would never die
But somehow in heavens plan I was left to wonder why
So many people believed in God above
Filled the pews on Sunday morning then again at night
So the questions remained the dilemma unfulfilled
Why they walked that way I thought I never would
A faithless person bowing to no one
Making my way in a world and having fun
I got ahead in business and took for me a wife
I found it easy to make something of my life
I had my own dog and had my family
But inside I had lost my peace
Chorus
Then God stepped along side of me
Emotions overflowed I could not see
I did not know I did not understand
How great how loving was His hand
Then God kind of understood
Made me feel like I even could
Hope in Him like never before
Like an ocean its waves upon the shore
His Love reaches me
Each wave of faith sent from His hand
Stirring up the sand refreshing my core
Like an ocean its waves upon the shore
Now the road I walk it's not just my own
I follow in the footprints laid out in the sand
Heaven rests upon me I fear not the foe
Angels walking with us know the way to go
Some like to pray some come to just enjoy
Some sit in wonder and some people fall
All come in awe their peace to restore
Beneath angels wings in the presence of the Lord
Chorus
Follow Me
2002
Chorus
(Cm Gm Fm Gm Cm) Reggae
He's sayin'…follow Me
Follow Me children follow Me
Catch the spirit of the way and
Follow Me children follow Me
It's all in the cause
Of a world full of freedom and joy
It's not simply for applause
But for the return of the Lord
What are we to do
Where can we escape
People are being beaten
Shot dead and raped
Grey skies above
Soon will turn to blue
You will be in paradise
When the Son comes out in you
Just a Mustard Seed
2002
Lost don't know which way to turn
Dreams shattered I see them burn
I see them burning now
I see them burning now
Preachers teaching I don't know what
I sit in my pew I don't know why
Sometimes I sigh
Sometimes I sigh
Read the book words do not lie
People shifting time and tide
Sometimes I cry
Sometimes I cry
Chorus
And I wonder what God has in store
For one like me who isn't sure anymore
My faith is weak I need some more
Just a mustard seed I implore
The one I believe in has hands and feet
Treads softly but reaches deep
I've heard Him speak
I've heard Him speak
He is famous for love and kindness
Tender hearted and quick to bless
I need to pray
I need to pray
Throw me a handful of promises to keep
I'll treasure them even in my sleep
As night is day
As night is day
Restore us
Ó Michael Christian Dec 2002
You looked down in the mud
And You saw a soul
You reached down with Your hand
And you made him whole
A smile came on Your face
As you thought for a while
How lovely, how beautiful
How amazing was this child
Restore us O God of hosts
Cause Your face to shine
And we shall be saved yes
We shall be saved
You took him in your arms
And held him to Your heart
Love gushed out of every pore
And made him what you are
Then everything changed
In the twinkling of an eye
This child of Yours blinked his eyes
And looked upon your smile
Restore us O God of hosts
Cause Your face to shine
And we shall be saved yes
We shall be saved
When the Window Closes
GDCG (Bob Dillon)
When the window closes
And all becomes night
And God in His wisdom
Turns out the light
The hope is that you can
Be found shining bright
With all that is needed
to grant others sight
Chorus DCGx3 GDCG
And the way you know
You've been taught all your life
It's to witness the love
Of the living Christ
They will come to Him
Like moths to the light
When the window closes
And all becomes night
The darkness surrounds them
They know not the way
Their lives are caught up
Not living the day
The drugs and the booze
And the things that they say
How can they hope if
They're not taught to pray
You say that you love them
But really you don't
You purchase your redemption
And wait for the hope
Making up things
You can do for the Lord
Instead of doing the
Thing that you should
WHY DO THEY FIGHT
Dec 2002
Barred Am G F E
I go to my room and close the door
I don't want to hear them fighting anymore
I want to run away, run away
So I can't hear them at war
I try to make sense of what I see
Cocooned in a place of make believe
I want to hide away, hide away
Hoping there's no fete de comply
The sun by day and crescent moon by night
Dominate my world why do they fight
I see them clearly shining up so bright
In the heavens bound they both give light
They have their place and it is right
Let love ascend on high and praise alight
Through heavens door and for His delight
O my God why do they fight
Because of the carrion in the eagles nest
And now the overzealous holy death
The demon stands, he's in the road
Threatening the sunshine in the west
Call Him Allah, Yahweh, Jesus Christ
Above all saying let there be light
He is the wise, He is the merciful
He loves us and gave all life
In the final hour who on earth can win
All God's children lost because of sin
Love your God, love your neighbor too
Embrace them all they're our kin
Don't let the thief steel your wares
Kill and destroy you in your fears
There is a way, yes there is a way
Love still stands for a thousand years
