1. Earth Household
Sleeping by the hearth of the earth household
Content and relaxed before the fire of life
It's becoming like a castle all woven of mist
Disintegrating when I want to grab a hold
Struggle to go somewhere beyond
The earth household, the earth household
Go to the other unknowable side
Of the earth household, the earth household
We chase with the hounds for the meaning of the world
The unattainable meaning of the world
Now I'm gonna run to the other side
Beyond the border land of death I ride
Slip through a tear in the fabric of the world
The earth household, the earth household
Speak the foreign language of a place beyond
The earth household, the earth household
I drink you endlessly toward my hollow heart
And wake at night repeating "How strange, how strange!"
All is touch and vision in a passionate kiss
And life's a drab curtain ready to be raised
Struggle to go somewhere beyond
The earth household, the earth household
Go to the other unknowable side
Of the earth household, the earth household
The earth household, the earth household
We chase with the hounds for the meaning of the world...

Reasonable Service- 2020

In every soul an altar stands
Thereon dwells all in the heart of man
O consuming fire lay waste the dross
Upon this table purge us
Though the sacrifice we fear
Forsake us not Lord draw us near
For we never fail to find you here
In our reasonable service
Now the least that we can do
Is the least that you require
Living sacrifices on
The sacrificial fire
Cleanse these earthen vessels Lord
Of every false desire
And when we fail the do the least
Help us in our unbelief
Chorus
And in the measure of our faith
Let our minds keep on renewing
Not conforming to this world
Until this worlds undoing
And by your tender mercies Lord
Your perfect will pursuing
We become an offering
Made holy through our suffering
Chorus
In the servitude of love
Drifts a fragrant scent well-pleasing
As the strength of grace compels us on
To worship without ceasing
To count as loss all we hold dear
Is Christ in us increasing
And through the fire gold will remain
To live is Christ to die is gain
In every soul an altar stands
Thereon dwells all in the heart of man
O consuming fire lay waste the dross
And courage don’t desert us
Though the sacrifice we fear
Forsake us not Lord draw us near
For we never fail to find you here
In our reasonable service

Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
The night's the time for all your tears
Your heart may be broken tonight
But tomorrow in the morning light
Don't let the sun catch you cryin'
The night-time shadows disappear
And with them go all your tears
For the morning will bring joy
For every girl and boy
So don't let the sun catch you cryin'
We know that cryin's not a bad thing
But stop your cryin' when the birds sing
It may be hard to discover
That you've been left for another
But don't forget that love's a game
And it can always come again
Oh don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Don't let the sun catch you cryin', oh no
Oh, oh, oh

The Mad Wind
03:42
|

|
The crowd’s enraged
They’re gathering stones
She’s caught in their cage
Of broken bones
She will not break
She will not hate
She'll not forsake her faith
The mad wind blows
Its fury grows
So come inside
The still small voice is here
It’s in your ear
It whispers “Dear child do not fear”
(Here’s shelter from the stormy winds that blow)
They beat her words with fists
(a home for your heart)
Tore off her wings
(and rest for your soul)
Still her prayer had slipped
In between their screams
She will not break
She will not hate
She’ll not forsake her faith
The mad wind blows
The fury grows
It will kill your soul
So come inside
The still small voice is here
It’s in your ear
It whispers “Dear child do not fear”
The crowds enraged
They’re gathering stones
She’s caught in their cage
Of broken bones
It’s not her fate
To learn to hate
She’ll not forsake her faith
The mad wind blows
The fury grows
So come inside
The fury grows
So come inside
The mad wind blows
The fury grows
So come inside

Tiny Town- 2020

calling all the ants
this is our last chance
trumpet of the saints
call the heads of states
and let's all kill the giants
let's all kill the giants
of tiny town
hold the torches high
lay them down to die
they know more than we know
and all they do is grow
so let's all kill the giants
let's all kill the giants
of tiny town
hang moss upon their visions
put glass around their dreams
dissension is their mission
tenacious in their schemes
divide the wheat and tares
and set the traps and snares
put rebellion down
it's safe in tiny town
'cause we've all killed the giants
we've all killed the giants
of tiny town
(it's safe in tiny town)

"Dig here," said the angel
I asked "My heart? Or my grave?"
"Maybe both," said the angel, "things can go either way."
"There'll come a time," said the angel,
"you'll lose that wrinkled suit of skin.
And when you walk up to the big door you can go right on in."
I cried then,
I'm dyin', I'm dyin', I'm dyin', I'm dyin', I'm dyin'
Night and day
I'm dyin', I'm dyin', I'm dyin', I'm dyin', I'm dyin'
To see your beautiful face
"Here's the catch," said the angel
"You're gonna suffer for awhile"
"I'll tell you straight," said the angel
"Don't plan to go out in style"
And meanwhile
I'm dyin', I'm dyin', I'm dyin', I'm dyin', I'm dyin'
Night and day
I'm dyin', I'm dyin', I'm dyin', I'm dyin', I'm dyin'
To see your beautiful face
Repeat chorus

Ferry Cross The Mersey
02:31

Life goes on day after day
Hearts torn in every way
So ferry, cross the Mersey
'Cause this land's the place I love
And here I'll stay
People they rush everywhere
Each with their own secret care
So ferry, cross the Mersey
And always take me there
The place I love
People around every corner
They seem to smile and say
We don't care what your name is boy
We'll never turn you away
So I'll continue to say
Here I always will stay
So ferry, cross the Mersey
'Cause this land's the place I love
And here I'll stay
And here I'll stay
Here I'll stay

Ghost Riders In The Sky
03:01

An old cowpoke went ridin' out one dark and windy day
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows, he saw
Plowing through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw
I ay, yipie I oh, yipie I ay, ghost herd in the sky
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath you could feel
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
For he saw the riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry
I ay, yipie I oh, ghost riders in the sky
Their face is gaunt, their eyes were blurred
As the riders leaned on by him, he heard one call his name
If you want to save your soul from hell a riding on our range
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Tryin' to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies
I ay, yipie I oh, yipie I ay,
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost riders in the sky
