God, why am I so obsessed with me? Don't I proclaim that you're the only one I see? Don't I believe that your son, he set me free? Why do I challenge this path you set for me? Seems that we're adamant on chasing these dreams, Bent on the images from television screens Why do I hog all the blessings that you lent? Why can't I get myself to give more than ten percent? Job security, my business, my ministry, My own idea of what the church should be... how Did I get so jaded, so lost to the fact that I should keep my heart instead of yours, God? May I go where you go, hurt where your hurt, See what you see especially in the church Will I pray for just enough to get by Or will I be still and know that you're the God of my life As I'm sitting patiently waiting for the Lord to speak Wait a minute, to be honest, I'm too anxious to sit Be still and know that He is Lord My biggest struggle cuz all the time I'm taking matters into my own hands Like Abraham and Sarah, looking to Hagar to give birth in whats promised Relying on my own experience and logic Lord, the passion I had for you has turned to what I do My eyes are fixed upon the ministry instead of fixed on You Father, I used to sit in peace soaked in Your presence still and quiet Listening to Your voice that calmed the mental riots But now I'm fighting with my strength walking in Your calling Lord help me cuz my feet will always be 2 steps from falling I desire to be in Your secret dwelling places Take this ambitious drive inside of me and bless me with serenity That I may be weak in the presence of the Son of Man Strengthened by the peace that transcends all to understand Sometimes it's hard to see the bigger picture. It's hard to see that God is working on something within you. He promised that He had a perfect plan for me. He said I am highly favored and His masterpiece. So why do I sit here and mope? When I should be joyful and filled up with hope. oh But wait I see most of my friends chasing careers Determined to make a solid living in the next four years. It's surreal, I feel like I am falling behind. I don't see myself making 6 figures in my lifetime. My family urges me to be the provider. To be a wealthy businessman with a Benz as my ride. But no, I'm at a fork, I'm torn; God, what should I do? I don't wanna disappoint my parents or deny You. I know that in my weakness, Your power is perfected. I know that in my weakness, Your power is perfected.

Lord help me now to face this battle My strength has failed and my eyes can't see Through the waves of doubt that take me under In the chaos I hear you speak Be still and know that You are my God Be still and know that You are enough Though my heart is racing still You're in control Be still and know that You are my God You brought me rest in times of struggle I lay my head down at Your feet The storm in me that I can't wrestle Is calmed when I hear you speak You are faithful And Your love endures forever Yes, Your love endures forever You are able In You I'll stand forever Yes, in You I'll stand forever

It's just another day in paradise As you stumble to your bed You'd give anything to silence Those voices ringing in your head You thought you could find happiness Just over that green hill You thought you would be satisfied But you never will- Learn to be still We are like sheep without a shepherd We don't know how to be alone So we wander 'round this desert And wind up following the wrong gods home But the flock cries out for another And they keep answering that bell And one more starry-eyed messiah Meets a violent farewell- Learn to be still Learn to be still Now the flowers in your garden They don't smell so sweet Maybe you've forgotten The heaven lying at your feet There are so many contridictions In all these messages we send (We keep asking) How do I get out of here Where do I fit in? Though the world is torn and shaken Even if your heart is breakin' It's waiting for you to awaken And someday you will- Learn to be still Learn to be still You just keep on runnin' Keep on runnin'

Earthling I love the way that you walk Earthling I love the way that you walk With your three little legs draggin' on the ground Now when you walk The people talk Earthling I love the way that you prance Earthling I love the way that you prance With your two little feet inches off the ground O you're so advanced You can even dance I guess I forgot Been 7000 years since I could walk that way C'mon show me how to play Yea I must 'a forgot Now I have to know what makes you move the way you do I wanna examine you Earthling I love the way that you talk Earthling I love the way that you talk With just one little mouth you could blow up the world Now when you talk The people walk Yea I guess I forgot Now I have to know what makes you move the way you do I wanna examine you C'mere Earthling Let me take you aboard for awhile Let me just have a look I wanna examine you Now I put you here I just wanna see how you're doin' C'mon now pull 'em down and let me see Cough. Stick out your tongue and say, "Ah." Say what's a nice little being like you doin' on a dump like this?

All the places I've been make it hard to begin To enjoy life again on the inside, but I mean to. Take a walk around the block And be glad that I've got me some time To be in from the outside, And inside with you. I'm sitting on the corner feeling glad. Got no money coming in but I can't be sad. That was the best cup of coffee I ever had. And I won't worry about a thing Because we've got it made, Here on the inside, outside so far away. And we'll laugh and we'll sing get someone to bring Our friends here for tea in the evening Old Jeffrey makes three. Take a walk in the park, does the wind in the dark Sound like music to you? Well I'm thinking it does to me. Can you cook, can you sew? Well, I don't want to know. That is not what you need on the inside, to make the time go. Counting lambs, counting sheep We will fall into sleep And we awake to a new day of living And loving you so.

Who was that sneaking up the stairs Taking a hairpin from her hair A vision of the locks fallin' down Crossed my mind and played with the sound Of tapping gentle tapping at my morning starship The crystal glint of the turning glass The creaking sound of the rusted latch As she slowly opened the door The darkness told me nothing more Except, except that she was near my morning starship She stood within the threshold silently A ray of moonlight caught her eye Without a word she said, "Could I come in?" I said why not you're in already You might as well stay awhile She made her way across the room A ray of moonlight caught her eye The perfect head framed in silver blue Found it's way to mine and then I knew The girl the girl the girl had flown my morning starship She's gone away what can I do She took the key she's got the clue Mysteries unfold with the latch What she knows I'll never forget The girl the girl the girl has flown my morning starship She's travelled with me now in my morning starship

I maman So I'm an elegant man I'm a man Clara bowes and open toes Are what I am Yes I maman Yea I'm a fragile man I'm a man Light of step and soft of touch A gentle man You know I could love you But if I should love you Then I would love you The way a man loves a woman And live my life like been livin' it My body claims my mind and soul so let me be What I am An elegant man Yes I maman So I'm a graceful man I'm a man Pierrots and spaceous clothes Are what I am You know I could love you But if I should love you Then I would love you The way a man loves a woman And live my life like been livin' it My body claims my mind and soul so let me be What I am An elegant man Yes I maman and I could love you

I'd do anything for you or to you I'm a fool for you dear fantasy I would love you to use me, amuse me I'm chained to your insanity Any day you could buy me or tie me up A slave to your perversity Refuse me diffuse me To the corners of the galaxy Take me I'm yours Take me take me I'm yours Take me I'm yours Take me I'm yours Baby you just amaze me and daze me You're the blind spot in my consciousness C'mon and forsake me and break me And drink the blood of my obsessiveness Make me cry out and die out Of love for this world's fallacy Refuse me diffuse me To the corners of the galaxy Take it out on me baby, I'm ready For your troubles I'm expedient You're the master, c'mon faster To your nature I'm obedient Take your torch and burn me and turn me over And over in your dreams of Godliness And if you think of me ever, just remember I did it all for your eternal rest

You're so entertaining and amusing And God knows everybody loves a clown Boredom wails you can't refuse him O Pierrot where do you go when you come down A star shot across the sky and smiled Then vanished in a tear Ah you're a space clown When you laugh you bring the house down When you smile you bring the walls down You're a space clown 'Cause when you cry When you cry you bring the sky down
