Roller Coaster

Time and tide it's a rocky ride
To the milk and honey read the signs
Fever pitch no stitch in time what an
'I me mine'
It's a roller coaster

Blood and thunder wonder techno
Poison chalice sword in hand
Futuristic peace ballistic promised land
It's no pushover

Rainbow nightmares light the universe
Is crumbling at the hand of God

Knife in the back
Gun to the head
Move and you're dead
It's no pushover
Flame to the wing
Blade to the heart
Love means attacking to win

Money mountain lakes of bloody
Gog and Magog angel chains
Dragon's smile the final mile,
O cleanse the stain
Eternal lover

Eden's ocean fields of bone
the martyr crown damnation's yoke
Shadrach Meshach and Abednego for
broke
Run run for cover

Rainbow nightmares light the universe
Is crumbling at the hand of God

Knife in the back
Gun to the head
Move and you're dead
It's no pushover
Flame to the wing
Blade to the heart
Love means attacking to win

Cry for eternity's despair
At the serpent and the snare
For a shield within the Son
Against the blade and gun
For a light where you can hide
Till the coming of the Bride

Knife in the back...


No One on Earth

My heart shall journey wherever she
wants
Trough sleeping cold cities and sweet
childhood haunts
And who flies beside her to measure her
worth?
No-one on earth

As snow covers sand, in valleys of cloud
Over ice, over fire, she will stand proud
And who comes to plunder the dream
that is hers?
No-one on earth

My heart shall wake where the universe
ends
In jewels of laughter and seasons of pain
And who will be waiting there to silence
the curse?
No-one on earth

Deep in her womb beats a desperate
peace
Her search is her treasure , to bring her
release
And who dares deny her the moment of
birth?
No-one on earth


My heart shall wake where the universe
ends
In jewels of laughter and seasons of pain
And who will be waiting there to silence
the curse?
No-one on earth


Come Alive

What we give for love we spend our
lives to find
A little understanding, a little peace of
mind
Everything we are, all the plans we've
made
What's the use in buying freedom
When our dreams will fade?

When He gave for love, Jesus showed
the way
He can end you hunger, He's the only
way
Listen everyone, you know the price is
paid
Are you ready for the future
Only He has made?

Nothing lasts forever
It's all so hard to hold
Yet the love of God is waiting
Let Him touch your heart and soul
Everything we live for
It surely won't survive
Come alive in Him , come alive in Him
Come alive

What He gave for love, could we ask for
more?
All the signs and wonders we're
choosing to ignore
Waken from you dreams , you will realize
We can see forever
In His eyes

Nothing lasts forever....


Bullet in the Mother's Womb

The heart beats regular as gunfire
In the stillness the whole mouth twists
The eyes narrow, knuckle-with
And cling. Outside,
There are arms full of bodies
Hills full of tired armies

'Embrace me now, sweet mother,
I am here in spite of death,
Fickle winds or sudden men,
Neither winter time nor war contained
me:
I am the holy fist
An embryonic saint and sacrifice-
the final price:
Whose moment dulls the bullet's edge
To drive a wedge between the cradle
and....'

A thin scream splits the skull.
A dog barks , men run.
In the stillness the whole mouth twists:

The face speaks for the landscape.

A Belfast woman was caught in gunfire.
the baby she was carrying was born
with the sniper's bullet still lodged in its
body. Both survived...


COVERDALE
(Instrumental)


Nothing We can do from Here

We're rich and we're hungry, clever and
cool
We've been born in the right place and
live by the rules
But it's headlines and hard times for
everyone else
We don't feel the guilt , we're in love
with ourselves

With our hearts on our sleeves we know
how to bleed
As we ring um the tills by the hour
What's mine is mine , what's theirs is
mine
So good from our ivory towers

We don't wanna know
And nothing ever changes

There's the have's and the have nots
we're glad we've been blessed
But God never said it was east versus
west
We swear by the TV, kick up a fuss
Say we're in this together - but it's still
them and us

Such rose tinted views, don't we doctor
the news
With our shades on to keep out the sun
It's all so far away, what more is there to
say?
The damage has already been done

We don't wanna know
And nothing ever changes

And it's headlines and hard times
heartache and fear
But don't worry , there's nothing we can
do from here
With our hearts on our sleeves we know
how to bleed
As we ring up the tills by the hour
What's mine is mine, what's their's is
mine
Looks so good from our ivory towers

We don't wanna know
And nothing ever changes


Were You are

There's nowhere, nothing ,no-one in this
world
To make my heart at home
Safe where you are and in your arms
there is peace
And there I am as I must be

No more the mask, the al embracing
face
The person they all ask of me
The one who must be everyting to
everyone
O and always so

How hard it is to say these things when
we are there
Within this place together
And yet it's true, so very ,very true
That I long with such a fire
To be there now....

Beside you, still , I need you
Watching over me
O take me, love me as I am , not as I
long to be
For I'll never ever be there now

Caution to the wind my love
I'm on my way back home to you
And we will find each other once again
What's on you heart
Where have you been
For nothing in this distance was in vain

And we shall fail , so many , many times
To be as we intend
But my life is yours and yours is mine , in
the end
Surely this is us in love

For Susan


Why Does it Have to Be This Way

Stone by stone I built these walls
Doors are broken, windows closed
Insulated, muted sound
Shadows fall on stony ground

Oh this place is dark and cold
Many secrets to unfold
Tired of living , vision lost
Seems to me this gold has turned to
dust

Night has fallen on this land
A wind that tears the desert sand
Everywhere the wounded fall
No-one hears you silent children call

Seems horizon's hard to find
In this desert I am blind
Filled with past and future fears...
Lord of time redeem the wasted years

We don't wanna know
And nothing ever changes

In your image, every one
Where has our sense of wonder gone?
Fashioned out of dust of earth
Given life and given birth

The day of reckoning draws near
Fills me with a holy fear
There will be a price to pay
Lord come soon and tear these scales
away

Give me passion , set me free
Turn me loose, I long to be
Food to the hungry aching heart
Here I stand , now help me start again
Take my life and let me start again

Who will deliver this healing fire
The borders are open , the vision
inspired
Carry a warning on eagles wings
Tell them that my heart for a whole
world is bleeding
Why does it have to be this way?


Love Speaks in Silence

Love speaks in wonder
At innocence born
The laughter of children
The wind through the corn
Love speaks in wonder
To all who will hear
The voice of creation is calling

Heaven can hear the stillbeat of your
heart
Heaven can hear a silent cry for mercy
Out of the distant thunder of your soul
Heaven can move to break the shadow's
hold

Love speaks in silence
For night without end
And pierces His light
Through the darkness of men
Love speaks who will turn
The promise of life is forever

Heaven can hear the stillbeat of your
heart
Heaven can hear a silent cry for mercy
Out of the distant thunder of your soul
Heaven can move to break the shadow's
hold

Heaven can hear a single teardrop fall
Over the mighty choirs of angel glory
Only a touch and the celebrations start
Heaven can hear the stillbeat of your
heart

Nothing but goodness
Nothing but peace
Nothing but Heaven's
Sweet, sweet

Heaven can hear...


Favourite Song

Dreams are in your eyes
My angel child, sweet mischief maker
Hush , and let the stars
Sing through the window's fading light

Dolls and teddy bears
And secret friends are safely sleeping
One more favourite song
And then it's time to say goodnight

You're an angel at the breakfast table
A ragamuffin home for tea
Princess of a world of wonder
So wonderful to me
You light my days with love and laughter
Turning life into a game
Now sleep in peace and I'll protect you
Sweet and tender flame

And when your world goes wrong
With bumps and scrapes and
disappointments
I will kiss you tears
Until we laugh the hurt away

You light my day with love and laughter
Turning life into a game
Now sleep in peace and I'll protect you
Sweet and tender flame

You're so full of questions a lifetime can't
explain
Dancing and tumbling all you cares
away
So many reasons each and every day
Why you're so beautiful to me

One more favourite song
And then it's time to say goodnight

To Carla, Amy and Kim


All Will Be Well
