Listen for him

(Debarim (Deut.) 6:4)

listen for him...
whether you're deep in the jungles of africa
whether you're BOUND IN the snows of antarctica
whether you're stranded in prisons on patmos
when the barbarians are smashing the gates

listen for him…

when you hear rumors of wars in the distance
he is the keeper of all the keys to the kingdom

listen for him...

whether you’re breaking THE walls of apartheid
whether you’re fightin' to stop all infanticide
whether you’re asked to ignore yah’s commandments
when our kids bring guns to school in their skates
when we hear lies from leaders and princes
he is the sower of all good seed for the kingdom
he calls us his children
when we hear and do his will
and he is with us whether we’re living or dying
moving or standing still (repeat)
and by his design, ever sublime
his children know their father’s call
SO in trying times, once YOU have placed YOUR hands ON the plow
DON’T YOU ever look back, DON’T YOU ever look back!

(chorus)

LISTEN FOR HIM

troubletown
(seventy times seven)

(matt 18:22)

smashed through a door leaving splinters, bleeding
swam in a pool of my own blood
I clutched the pearly gates of heaven, screaming
“someone save me from this flood!”
widow woman holds a baby withOUT eyes
A yellow reaper plowing weeds
a sun that never shines while weeping willows cry
while satan wrings his hands and counts all his misdeeds
(chorus)
and I have sinned, dear father, I have sinned
How many times can I tell you “I’m gonna do better
Next time around?”
How can I stop before I get to troubletown?
How can I stop before I get to troubletown?…troubletown
How can I stop before I get to troubletown?… troubletown
How can I stop before I get to troubletown?
Legions drinking strychnine from a broken flask
A black vulture builds a nest upon my grave
Hope and faith THEY lay in a field beyond my grasp
no one hears the prayers I pray
I’m with the soldiers who scourged YAHSHUA’S flesh
I hear their saddened wails and gnashing teeth
A demon dances and pounds upon his chest
While another stamps my name on a tombstone in GOLD LEAF
(chorus)
BUT somehow through the smoke and raging din
I hear yahshua’s voice it calls to me from heaven
Seventy times seven ……….(I HAVE FORGIVEN YOUR TRANSGRESSIONS)
and though I’ve sinned dear father, though I’ve sinned
I have confessed my wretched ways to you right here on holy ground
And your grace delivered me from troubletown
Yahshua delivered me from troubletown
(REPEAT CHORUS)

Purpose in your plan

(acts 9:1-20)

Pitch-black night, abandoned highway
with young steven gone few again would dare
I spent the days on snakes and red bream
I spent the nights too cold to be too scared
I cursed them all aND my heart grew colder
I tried to smolder every one who walked his way
In mud caked shoes and blood stained brow
I crushed his kind beneath my angry plow
I felt so torn; or was I bROKEN?
An empty token of pharisaic pride
I traded faith and all good conscience
For short term gains, there at satan’s side
But then your mercy pierced through the night sky
A bolt of light
Revealed my awful sins
My feet you cleaned and my brow you dried
While you showed me scenes from your paradise
(chorus)
it was the first we ever spoke
it was the first we ever danced
it was the closest we had come to your set-apart circumstance
I was CAUGHT in the worldly drone
Where no one gives you a second chance
AND I fell blind before your throne
In my muddy tattered pants
And when ananias came with the word you had proclaimed
He said I’d suffer earthly loss
But it would serve to bear your name
Between the rubber and the road
I first felt your awesome hand
It wrote a message in my heart
And gave me purpose in your plan

Fishers of Men

(Matt 4:19; mark 1:17)

we packed the nets like our fathers had done
our brows sweatin' in the heat of the sun
and the salty air...that damages skin
we had a long day laying ahead of us
a fine boat and some brothers whom I could trust
waited there...fresh bait in their tins
when down the beach comes a man dressed in simple clothes
light in his eyes and the eagle AND SPARROW know
he can fly higher than THEY...
he walks down to the shore where our nets are tied
suddenLy every pain we had felt inside had to die
upon his command...he said
(chorus)
follow me... follow me... follow me
MY fishers of men
one of our own had lost his old man
we went to comfort him and lend him a hand
and make sure his mom could sleep and was fed
he said “MASTER CAN I bury my father"
yahshua ROSE AND turned to my brother and said
"let the dead bury the dead"
some might have felt that he lacked any feelings
then we found ourselves PRAYING and kneeling there
beside the man who looked to the sky
he cried out to his father in heaven
abba they're blind, so please forgive them
if they'd just ABIDE.. YOU KNOW they never would die
(chorus)
(last chorus “and I will make you fishers of men”)

still small voice

(1 melakim (kings) 19:12)

there were times my faith got misplaced
chasing things that did not last
and I USED TO CRY wondering if I died
just how you would judge my past
drifting far from that brilliant star
that revealed you to this world
hope was lost a life without cause
the world’s madness would prevail
(chorus)
then you led me to a place I once knew
where I’d heard your still small voice
it lingered there just like a distant song
a song I just could not avoid
and every word was true
and then you promised me
forever you would be
a lamp unto my feet
and when the world gets rough
I remember how you died for us
I’d been prone to hide behind A string of lies
Even I could not believe
Felt the steady rain and the angry pain
Of every soul I had deceived
TheN a bitter wind took away my friend
wIthout reason, without RHYME
teenage dreams NOW midnight screams
I lost sight of ME IN TIME
(chorus)
I KNOW THE SOUND OF THE SHEPHERD’S SWEET VOICE
IT CALLS ALONG THE WIND
IT LIFTS US HIGH WHEN OTHERS SAY WE WILL FALL
CAN’T WAIT TO HEAR HIM AGAIN (HEAR HIM AGAIN!)
(CHORUS)

miryam came to say

(matt 27:61;28:1; mark 15:47;16:1;9; luke 24:10; yoch (john) 20:1;18

miryam came to say
she said the stone was rolled away
and his tallit was neatly laid
beside the tomb where you used to pray
(chorus)
and messengers white with a flood of light
said “he is risen in power and might,
go tell the others rush on ahead to Galilee and yerushalayim,
why are you loOkin' for the living among the dead?”
they destroyed the temple at Golgotha (AMEIN)
soldiers thought it spelled the end (AMEIN)
he laid down his life for all his friends (AMEIN)
but yah raised him up in just three days (AMEIN)
sent satan’s curse back to the grave (AMEIN)
now he lives forever more amein!
Omein! Omein! Omein! omein!
(chorus)
miryam came to say
she said he lives now everyday
and the debt is fully paid
by the lamb that has been slain…(chorus)

right things

(mishle (prov) 23:16; tehillim (psalms) 119:128; gal. 5:22)

abba raised a good little boy
he never cursed or raised his voice in anger
abba taught him it is not
how well you do what you do
but that you’re doing what is right
that you’re doing what is right
NOW abba says the worth of a man
lies beyond mere words
OR pretty things you see
abba taught him it is not
how HIGH you’VE climbED thAT tree
but that you’ve climbed it for his glory
that you’ve climbed it for his glory
(CHORUS)
be less concerned ‘BOUT doing things right
more,concerned ‘BOUT doing right things
lift up your hearts and raise your sights
to what the fruit of the spirit brings
what the fruit of the spirit brings
it brings love, joy, peace, patience, kindness,
AND it brings goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control
NOW abba raised a good little girl
to love her YAH AND neighbor as herself
and she gives her toys to little girls and boys
abba teach her what is right
abba please teach her what is right
and she left me a message today
her voice was filled with a young girl’s excitement
SEEMS she WAS honored by the city
and though she tried to smile
when she ROSE to the podium she cried
when she ROSE to the podium she cried...(and she said)
(chorus)

you shall sing

(shemot (ex.) 15:1;21;bamidbar (numb.) 21:17;shofetim (judg) 5:3;

2 shemuel (Samuel) 22:50;1 divre hayamim (chronicles) 16:9;

And all the tehillim (psalms)!

It’s been burning for so long
It’s almost burned away
In your heart he placed as song
But you’ve never heard it play
Many nights and many days
You have drowned a muffled cry
Wondering if you’d like the taste
If you’d ever dare to try
(CHORUS)
Now if Yah HAD meant for you to run and hide
Why did messengers give yOu wings
’he has filled you with a song to fill their hearts
and you shall sing…you shall sing
now friends will counsel you
play it safe and pull your wait
so you spend time doing work that you positively hate
why are we so quick to shun the voice of our Yahweh?
Who has placed his name within our hearts
Yet most have let it slip away!
(chorus)
HALLELUYAH,HALLELUYAH… HALLELUYAH,HALLELUYAH… HALLELUYAH,HALLELUYAHWEH! HALLELUYAH (REPEAT)

his endless ocean

(beresheit (gen) 6:8;19:19;33:10,17; eph 2:8; YA’AKOV (JAMES) 2:18,20,26 )

I’ve traveled too far, lost sight of many things
Long nights when phones don’t ring, chasing illusions
Warm tears with some friends, cold stares from eyes that sting Shakespeare’s arrows and slings, in bold proportions
(chorus)
I know YAHWEH saveS and my deeds must convey
that understanding through the devil’s distortion
Yahweh’s grace once engaged humbles sinners and saints
And floats US upon
His endless ocean
And when I compare my ways to those of his
YAHWEH who forgives every intrusion
I find I fall short far short of what it is
TO know how close he lives
in perfect communion
(Chorus)

at the foot of the tree

(wayyiqra (lev) 4:25;8:15;9:9 yoch (john) 19:25; col 1:20; eph 2:16;

phil 2:18; ibrim (hebrews) 12:2)

yahshua hanotzri
laid down your life for your friends
and now even the blind can see
that your kingdom has no end
it’s written in your blood
at the foot of the tree
AND AT YOUR FEET WE LEARNED OF LOVE
A LOVE THAT’S TRUE AND NOT PRETENSE
THE FATHER SENT YOU FROM ABOVE
TO LOVE US ‘TIL THE END
IT’S WRITTEN IN YOUR BLOOD
AT THE FOOT OF THE TREE
and if we weep at troubled times
your ruach hakodesh you’ve sent
to comfort like a lullaby
for broken hearts to mend
it’s written in your blood at the foot of the tree
when we’re asleep and laid to rest
the righteous ones will live again
you promised that you’ve saved the best
for the kingdom without end
its written in your blood at the foot of the tree
