Can You Hear?

Can you hear him out there?

Can you see all the screaming?

The pain, the blood, it's all around

Yet everyone keeps walking

Day by day he watches 

How we lack the love to give

Waiting now to show us how

To find our place round here

A child cries, he's hungry

Another lonely, has too much

If they could find each other

No telling what they could do

Another soul cut off so cold

Weary from the path

They can't see the love around

Their pride so holds them back

Others try hard not to hear

Can't stand to loose it all

Too bad they can't see losing

Is what will help them fly

Can you hear him out there

Can you see all the screaming

The pain the blood it's all around

Doesn't have to be this way

Calling Me

You appear right beside me

I'm not alone in your call 

I do feel you looking into me

You're sitting there waiting 

I'm alone and I'm scared

What will they say about me?

You've given me freedom

You've called me on home

Should it fell oh so hard?

Filled up with love

I don't mind to share

Been dragging my feet for too long

So many are waiting 

So many alone

Is there anyone else that they can call?

I feel this deep burning 

I cant hold it back

I suppose it's time now to jump

I look in those eyes

They don't want to believe

But I can tell they want somewhere to go

It's not even my words

Where did they come from?

Must have been you all this time

Full of your love

Yet full of self doubt

Afraid of the world and its claws

Please fill me with courage

Fill me with love

Lord, I want to share you with the world

Take Me Home

Out here on the road

Got no one by my side

Heaven feels like hell

All I got is my own pride

Attacked upon all sides

Wish I could find my way home

The heat is just unbearable

Feeling naked to the bone

Kicking at the gravel

Dust up to my knees

Thought I saw a bit of hope

That might just ease my pleas

Am I finally gonna get somewhere

Look another knife is in my back

Yeah deep down it seemed so stupid

I just keep getting dragged right back

Finally got a good thing going

But I know they should be better

The bills They keep on coming in

I want more than some shelter

I feel like they just hold me back

So hard I can barely breathe

This world just takes me down

Just tangled in the weeds

Take me home, take me home

I got nowhere now to go

It's been a long time now of searching 

So full of empty in this soul

Take me home, take me home

I got now where now to go

Wish I could meet that man Jesus

Some say he knows where to go

So tired of the misery

Got nothing left to loose

I'll just go, open my heart

It can only get better from here

As I'm finally letting go

I feel I'm getting stronger

I'm starting now to do things 

I never could before

Take me home, take me home

I got nowhere now to go

It's been a long time now of searching 

So full of empty in this soul

Take me home, take me home

I got now where now to go

Finally met that man named Jesus

He showed me love that feels like home
