1. LOGOS RISING SUITE
I) The Gospel of Saint John 1:1
(Logos Rising)
In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.
Hallelujah, He is Lord. Hallelujah, He is Lord.
(In the beginning there was the Word)
(Light of Light, King of Kings, Lord of Lords)
He's got you in His hand.
The Lord, Creator of it all.
He loves you. He loves you. He loves you.
II) The Lord's Prayer
O Lord our God who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be thy name,
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done,
On Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us all our sins
As we forgive those who harmed us.
Lead us not (not),
Lead us not into temptation,
Lead us not (not) into the arms of sin,
But deliver us from the evil
that planted the seed of sin in man.
He intended our corruption,
But redemption was all part of Your plan
Through your son (Jesus).
My Lord Jesus, I pray for your anointing
Help me write my songs
Let them glorify you Lord
Be messengers that You’re the Truth
And carry the Gospel to the world, for you.
(Repeat Lord's Prayer)
So punish the wicked
And right the wrongs
And take the power that to You belongs
And write the world, and make it Yours
And take my heart, and make it soft
But help me carry every cross.
The power you put into me
I use for good, let devils see!
You are the Lord! You are the Lord!
For Yours is the power, the Kingdom,
the Glory (Forever and ever!
Yours is the power!
Yours is the power, Jesus you're the Lord of all!)
Lord of all! He owns the world!
III) The Gospel of James
Yeah yeah yeah sing it to me one more time,
I need you, you you you you!
Lord you know we need you
No-one else, no-one else is our King and Lord.
Show us where to find ya, show us where to find ya!
Jesus! Come on help me find you!
(You, Jesus, and no-one else!)
Find you in my heart.
(You are the Lord of our souls!)
Find you out in nature.
(Find you anywhere I'm looking)
Or in that man who helped you when
you broke down your car at the intersection
& he said 'Jesus loves you',
(Find you) in my brother's soul!
I feel the Logos
In the peace of Western civilisation
(In the peace of Western civilisation)
But you feel it crumbling! (Crumblin'!)
Crumblin’, crumblin’, crumblin’, crumblin’, crumblin’,
Under the might of the enemy
(Enemy, who's that?) Satan!
(Satan, Devil, Satan, Devil)
But I know he got nothing on you,
Nothing on you Lord.
He got nothing on you Jesus, he got nothing on you Jesus! He’s just a spoilt little boy! (Spoilt little boy!)
And he’s a liar (Liar!)
He’s a dirty little cheat (Cheat!)
And he’s a scoundrel (Scoundrel, weak!)
And he’s weak!
Yeah he’s weak, weak! (WEAK!)
I laugh in the face of the devil (Laughin' takes his power) For the Lord’s in my heart (Jesus in my heart)
Got the anointing of Jesus (Jesus)
He’s my brother, He’s my saviour, He’s my Lord, He’s my friend, He’s my redeemer (He's my redeemer!), And he could be yours too!
(Call His name, Jesus!)
So what you wanna do?
(Call His name, Jesus!)
Come on and listen to my choir!
(Call His name, Jesus!)
As they sing it for you
(Call His name)
Jesus is the King and the Lord,
We’re singing praise to Jesus, Amen.

Turn Me Up
03:46
|
|||
|
Turn me up, help me the best that I can be.
Cut me loose, in Your love
I found I'm finally free!
There's a place out of time,
It is Yours, make it mine,
Where a man can be free,
to reach for his destiny!
Come on and turn me up!
I am ready to sing what you've got to say.
Come on and turn me up!
Never turn me down again.
(He's gonna turn me up!)
Turn me up, help me see the world
with eyes to see.
I know you'll never stop,
'til we get to feel the power of your harmony.
(He's gonna turn me up,
never turn me down again)
(Takes me to the top,
He can turn me up, takes me to the top!)

This is America 2020
07:00
|
|||
|
They're gonna try to tell you
it all started yesterday
One man died, a people cried for justice!
But now you see they're burning down your homes in the night,
And you don't want to face
what's in plain sight.
The wolves are coming to your neighbourhood, so say STOP! This is America!
(This is America!) This is America!
It ain't nothing new,
just history it rhymes again.
You build your tower high,
they smash it down and lie,
and spit on your grave!
But now it's like they've open the asylum (Clown World), let the inmates run free (Freedom!).
Oh, damn! They've overthrown the government!
And you say STOP! This is America!
(This is America!) This is America!
Call out to the Lord!
Can the people of the disunited States survive?
Can the Great Experiment fight to stay alive?
Can it survive? Left and Right, we can't unite,
It's time for a divorce,
We the People only kneel before Jesus, our Lord!
(This is America!) This is America!
What if I told you,
It was all a lie?
Can you believe your eyes?
Can you believe their lies,
Anymore?
If all you do is open up your doors
to the wolves,
Would you let them take your woman
And your children too?
If you don't think it will ever get to that
Well here's a fact - it's happen in America!
(This is America!) This is America!
Time for America to come first!

God Who Gave Me Life
04:44
|
|||
|
Twenty years I believed it was all up to me.
Had to work on myself and my psychology.
When it looked like the end, I heard the
voice of a friend, said that He was
the way, and I was saved!
I've been blind for almost all my life,
But like a child, he filled me up with light.
Now I see the man I want to be.
He set me free, it's God who gave me life,
It's God who gives me life, He's been there all my life
It's God who gave me life.
There's a spark in my heart I could never ignore.
It was dark but a part of me know what it's for.
In His hand there's a plan, the very seed of what is man, and He will wait for the day
we return to His way.

Theory of Mind
05:12
|
|||
|
I dreamt I was an apple in a tree
A smiling serpent said to me
'Would you like to be like man?
Would you like to understand?
I can make you one of them.'
I felt her teeth get underneath my skin
I felt the woman take me in
And I learned more than I knew
What was one would now be two
I was stunted but I grew, grew, grew.
And what is she, and who am I?
A river run beyond the sky
Eden is gone, I am no-one,
That's when the serpent said to me:
'Do you have a theory of mind?
Do you have a theory of mind?
Do you have a theory of mind, mind, mind?'
I felt the apple fall upon my head
I turned and saw the sun instead
Endless motion in the sea,
Kepler's loops and Darwin's tree
Made a strange Theosophy.
A ring of lidless eyes atop a crown
A Babel-dragon flood came down
Marduk cutting up the dead,
Guillotining, head by head,
In that leather book I read.
And what is he, and who am I?
Stonecutters walling up the sky.
Eden is gone, I am no-one,
That's when the serpent said to me...
Speak in code, demons will speak in code.
Feed for the seed that was sowed,
Whether or not you know,
whether or not you know!
I dreamt of intersectionality,
And how the world has gifted me
How the past is one of shame,
how the truth is in the pain,
How we all can live again.
I dreamt a name could
change the way I am
I dreamt I could be me again
Just an apple in a tree,
no more he and no more she,
Just a serpent asking, smilingly...
'Cause I don't want to be alone
'Til Kingdom come before the throne

Standing in the Cold
04:46
|
|||
|
Well, you know that didn't
go how I wanted it to.
I was hoping that tonight I'd get back home.
But I busted my tyre, set my car on fire,
And now I'm lonely, lonely...
Standing in the cold.
I get a little bit schitzo
if I get too stoned,
I crawl like a skunk
if I get too drunk.
I get a little bit mad
when I'm being bad.
Then I feel such shame,
When I think of Your name.
I know that God's
gonna keep me going,
And I know that God's
gonna help me through.
I hope that He's gonna
be by my side, 'cause I know
I can't do it alone.
(When you're standing in the cold,
Just cry out to the Lord,
There's only one way out of here!)
Jesus! (The Judge of all of us
He died upon the cross)
Then they found the tomb, it was open!
(And rose again that we might live)
Turn to the Lord, no one else but Jesus.
Just stand, stand with the Lord.
Stand with the Lord. Jesus!
I'm standing with the Lord.
I'm standing in the presence of God,
Hallelujah I'm here with the Lord.

The Door
04:49
|
|||
|
When I'm alone You're what I'm singing to.
Here on the road, singing a psalm to You.
When I go home, You're what I'm going to.
Before Your throne, I'm being changed by You.
And I know I know I could never forsake You.
I've tasted and seen,
I don't want to replace You,
'Cause when you move
it's the sweetest breakdown,
You put me back in the image of Your own.
But here I am banging on Your door,
These are my people, and I give myself
To Your arms, to Your arms, living in Your love,
'Cause you died to break the lies.
I tried hard without You, but I couldn't make it through, letting myself go,
handing it all to you.
The things I've seen I could never unsee,
Your touch unbound all the
shackles holding me,
And I'll be here waiting patiently
To be Yours in the Kingdom, eternally.
But here I am kicking down my door,
These are my people, and I give myself
To Your arms, to Your arms, living in Your love,
'Cause you died to break the lies.
So here I am stepping through the door,
We are Your people, and we give ourselves
To Your arms, to Your arms, living in Your love,
'Cause you died to break the lies.
(Change, Father, the hearts of man,
Break the chains, Kingdom come,
Raise up our voice as one,
Holy Spirit stir in us / changing us)

The Minstrel Boy
03:40
|
|||
|
The minstrel boy to the war has gone
In the ranks of death you will find him.
His father's sword he has girded on
And his wild harp slung behind him.
'O Land of Song,' said the warrior bard,
'though all the world betrays thee,
One sword at least thy rights shall guard,
One faithful harp shall praise thee."
The minstrel fell but the foeman's chain
Could not bring his proud soul under.
The harp he loved ne'er spoke again
For he tore its cords asunder,
And said, 'No chains shall sully thee,
Thy soul of love and bravery!
Thy songs were made for the brave and free,
They shall never sound in slavery."

The Northerners
05:22
|
|||
|
(The Northerners! They’re coming 'cross the sea!)
For ages they’d fight back the snow,
Survive the winters, bloom and grow,
Became a people and one tribe upon the Northern Shore,
The Northerners were born. (Logos Rising!)
They wandered out into the world,
Saw centuries of countless wars
The diaspora thence unfurled,
As Northern knuckles knocked on southern doors.
The Evangelion of the East
Came Westward waging war upon the Beast
(Christendom is coming!)
With ancient times behind us now,
Britannia stands upon the prow,
They colonise the savage South,
And civilise the native man or ROUTE HIM OUT!
(The Black proved a great enemy,
The Zulu and Maori,
But no match for Her Majesty,
The Northerners are here!)
Though Union Jack is stationed high,
For Britain’s Mighty Empire the end is nigh.
Were you born at the turn of the Century?
Did you know of the violence to come?
Did you dream of dying young with a pair of infant sons, and a wife? No more life, not for you! Which way North Man?
Can you send me back home?
Where is my home?
We need to talk about today,
For things have changed in every way
The Northerners have broken down
Minorities in their own towns
(The refugees are coming,
they’re coming across the sea)
They taught the Northern man to hate
His Northern blood and Northern ways
But sorry wasn’t good enough,
For reparations they want blood!
The Northerners are homeless!
The Northerners are broken!
Go home Northern Man!
Where’s a place that I can call my home?
Can you show me how to get back home?
Which way North Man?
Have you seen my home?

Everybody Knows
03:03
|
|||
|
Everybody knows,
there’s more to this than meets the eye.
Everybody knows, there’s more to love
(So then why) in all of our yesterdays
(Did we try) to see that the truth’s erased
(So we lie) Lie to ourselves today
That we don’t need a God.
Everybody knows that we’re fallen
the devil is calling us now.
Everybody knows,
the world is turning on and on
Not everybody knows,
That everything we think we know
It could be wrong!
(So then why) when we
throw all the fakes away
(Did we try) and we see
that the truth remains
(So we lie) So why do we
lie to ourselves today
That we don’t need a God?
Not everyone will rise when we’re through
But the battlefield’s calling to you.
Not everybody fights for the Lord,
The demon’s we’re fighting are cold.
And I know that the world will call me crazy,
But I’m not of the world,
And I know that Your love is real.
(So then why) Why does it scare me so?
(Did we try) to let my dreams of Eden go, (So we lie) And this powder keg is rigged to blow,
Will we turn to the One and His Way?
Not everyone will break through the glass
When the time to be ready has passed.
The Angels may be up to the task,
But the last shall be first; the first last.
Not everybody knows that we’re fallen,
But Heaven is calling you home.
We’ll rise when we’re through,
The Devil will pay his due.

Hallelujah, He is Lord
05:11
|
|||
|
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, He is Lord.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Jesus Christ is Lord.
Lord you gave me a second chance,
Undeserving as I am, and you came to set me free, With your blood at Calvary.
Lord you gave me a beautiful wife,
You gave me blessings all my life,
My sweet Jesus, full of grace,
For you 'til the end I’ll run this race.
Then you gave me a beautiful child,
Behold, a son! The Wolf Renowned,
Then you gave me a second one,
My little Light Dude, my beloved son.
Now I’ve got You, in my life,
My blessed family walk by Your side.
Lord we ask you, what would we do
To be worthy of the love we get from You?
Lord I need you, use my voice,
It’s never been like I’ve had a choice,
Because You chose me, to sing Your praise!
Now let Your will be done,
I am Yours for the rest of my days!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, He is Lord.
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Jesus Christ is Lord.
