Friendship's End

There once was a time
When I could call you a friend of mine
A place to hide, where can it be
I want to leave, sometimes I want to flee
Though things are different now
Why can’t we make amends
Though things are different now
Why can’t we still be friend
Once there was a closeness shared
Each others burdens, together we beared
Your stubborn self will gets in the way
And you never listen to anything I say
Though things are different now
Why can’t we still be friends
Though things are different now
Why can’t we make amends
And now I’ve found someone new
To replace my thoughts about you
Yeah
Let's, let’s go back into the song, keep doing that. Start to build up again then let’s go back into the whole song. Yeah, do psychedelic stuff [Spoken]
There once was a time
When I could call you a friend of mine
Your stubborn self will gets in the way
Baby you don’t listen to a word I’m trying to say-eh yeah-eh
Though things are different now
We should be friends
Though things are different now
Why can’t we make amend
Though things are different now yeah
We should still, we should still be friends
We should still be friends
Still be friends
Yeah

That's When Jesus Knew
12:38
|
|||
|
OK [Spoken]
Oh when the whole world spoke one language
Back when the whole world served one god
Back when men first toiled in the rocky soil
And worked the ground upon which they trod
Back when Adam walked with God in the garden
Back when the serpent first spoke to Eve
Back when man first fell and the gates of hell
Opened up and we were all deceived
Well that's when Jesus knew I'd love you
That’s when Jesus knew I’d care
That’s when Jesus knew you’d love me too
And made sure that you’d be standing there
That's when Jesus knew what I needed
To ease the emptiness and sorrow too
He knew right from the start when he looked into my heart
That I’d be lonely ’til I found you
Back when the world first moved in upheaval
Back when men invented war
And they stood in the mud among the bodies and the blood
And could not remember what for
Back when Cain raised his hand against Abel
And his soul was stained with blood
Back when men became so evil
That the world was finally washed by the flood
Yeah yeah
That’s when Jesus knew I’d love you
That’s when Jesus knew I’d care
And that’s when Jesus knew you’d love me too
And made sure that you’d be standing there
That’s when Jesus knew he’d save me
Yeah that’s when Jesus knew he’d die
That’s when Jesus knew I’d repent and follow
'Ile others would pass him by [Larry doesn't fully pronounce the word 'while' in this line]
Back when Nimrod swayed the remnant
And built the walls of Babylon
When David held the throne of Israel
And wept for Jonathon in Absalom
When men felt the sting of sorrow
They were cold in those sleepless nights
And their women would sense it and draw closer to their bodies
And stay beside them 'til the morning light
Well that’s when Jesus knew I’d love you
Yeah that’s when Jesus knew I’d care
Well that’s when Jesus knew you’d love me too
And made sure that you’d be standing there
That’s when Jesus knew he’d suffer
Well that’s when Jesus knew he’d die
And that’s when Jesus knew I’d repent and follow
While others might pass him by
Yeah that’s when Jesus knew [x2]
Yeah that’s when Jesus knew my sorrow
And he knew my heart would break
And he’d be standing there for forgiveness and love
While my tears would make my body shake
That’s when I was, that’s when I was
That’s when I was born a second time
Shaking all over
My whole life torn wide open
Yeah, yeah
I saw him standing there
A light around his face
His eyes wide open
Yeah I’m going to the river
I’m going under
I’m gonna be reborn
Yeah yeah I’m going back
I’m going back to the garden
Promise me, promise me
Yeah
You’ll be so very
You’ll be so very
Very very very very very very
Very very quiet when you hear him speak
Shaking all over
That's when Jesus knew
He knew right from the start
Before he is
Before I was
I am is
It's dark and cloudy here
The world is falling down
There’s no way to stand on this shaky ground
I have to look for some light
And walk through this night
It's coming
And I'm ready
And when it's over I'll be glad
No tears, no pain
Now it's time
Now it's time to look
He will live
Only he will know
What we need
Who we are
He's the one
He's the one
He's the one
He's the one

Time is a moving window
Love is an open door
There’s no need to beg on the street
And you don’t have to sleep on the floor
Do you know what I'm trying to tell you
It's alright if you don't understand what I mean
It's alright if you think I'm wrong
It's alright if you're blind, it's not easily seen
But the light shines so bright and love is strong
If it feels good why not do it
But don't forget to blame someone else
Always look out for number one
These are slogans on the walls of hell
I'm just trying to tell you something
It's alright if you don't understand what I mean
It's alright if you think I'm wrong
It's alright if you're blind, it's not easily seen
But the light shines so bright and love is strong
Oh yea-eh
It's alright if you don't understand what I mean
It's alright if you think I'm wrong
It's alright if you're blind, it's not easily seen

I wanna do one more verse, so go into a verse
One two three [Spoken]
I'd like to feed you from a golden platter
At the table of love and peace
Time and space don't really matter
Unless your soul has lost it's lease
You might hate everything I'm saying
It's alright if you don't understand what I mean
It's alright if you think I'm wrong
It's alright if you're blind, it's not easily seen
But the light shines so bright and love is strong

Is God Dead
03:40
|

Okay [Spoken]
Is God dead or is he just asleep
Sin has spread, the devil steals the sheep
Look at what a mess we've made of things
Turned our back on truth and placed our stubborn faith in kings
Is God dead or is he just asleep
It is said that what we’ve sown we’ll reap
Trouble’s coming and it won’t be long
All because we don’t care what is right and what is wrong
Take a look at the world around us
It's falling to its knees
Can't you see that we've lost direction
Oh won't you help me please
Is God dead or is he just asleep
In my head, what can I do but weep
People have to make a choice in life
On the verge of peace we always take the road that leads to strife
Is God dead or is he just asleep
Sin has spread, the devil steals the sheep
Trouble’s coming and it won’t be long
All because we don’t care what is right and what is wrong
Take a look at the people passing by
Pushing you out of their way
Stop a moment and if you listen
You’ll hear the people say
Is God dead or is he just asleep [x4]

When You Sent Your Son
05:06
|

I had a baby out of wedlock
Her old man got me in a headlock
I was an unwed father
But don't bother feeling sorry for me
I took a lot of LSD
I smoked a lotta marja-weeny
But it did not help me
It did not set me free
Oh Jesus, why'd you go and do it
Why’d you help someone like me
You saved me, you forgave me
And you know you set me free
You took away my problems
One by one
I guess you knew what you were doing
When you sent your son
You know the way that I was living
Was like taking without giving
And I hurt a lot of people
And I lost my friends
I spent a little time in prison
But I know the Lord is risen
And I'll never need
To be locked up again yeah
Oh Jesus, why'd you go and do it
Why’d you help someone like me
You saved me, you forgave me
And you know you set me free
You took away my problems
One by one
I guess you knew what you were doing
When you sent your son
I never thought about tomorrow
'Til my life was filled with sorrow
Walking down a road not knowing
What was ahead
Well a man can spend his days
Living out his evil ways
Or he can try to find the road
Before he's dead
Jesus, why'd you go and do it
Why’d you help someone like me
You saved me, you forgave me
And I know you set me free
You know you took away my problems
One by one
I guess you knew what you were doing
When you sent your son
You knew what you were doing
When you sent your son

Sipping whiskey from a paper cup
You drown your sorrows ’til you can’t stand up
Take a look at what you done to yourself
Why don’t ya put the bottle back on the shelf
Yellow fingers from your cigarettes
Your hands are shakin’ while your body sweats
Well why don’t you look into Jesus
He's got the answer
Oh you got gonorrhoea on Valentine's day
An’ you’re still looking for the perfect lay
You think that rock and roll will set you free
You’ll be deaf before you’re thirty three
You’re shooting junk until you’re half insane
A broken needle in your purple vein
Now why don’t you look into Jesus
He’s got the answer
Well you work all night
You sleep all day
You take your money, throw it all away
You say you’re gonna be a superstar
But you never hung around enough to find out who you are
A-think back to when you were a child
Your soul was free, your heart ran wild
Each day was different, life was a thrill
You knew tomorrow would be better still
But things have changed and you’re much older now
If you're unhappy and you don’t know how
Why don’t you look into Jesus
He’s got the answer
You oughta check it for yourself

Life was filled with guns and war
Everyone got trampled on the floor
I wish we’d all been ready
Children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we’d all been ready
There’s no time to change your mind
The son has come and you been left behind
Oh a man and wife asleep in bed
She’s hears a noise and turns her head, he’s gone

Between The Glory & The Flame
by Randy Stonehill
supported by 4 fans who also own “Breathe In, Breathe Out”
This album is all about the human condition and our very human, fallible relationship with the world around us, as well as our ever so tense imperfect relationship with a God who the world has turned into a politicized parody of himself. "We are madmen and we are children with a lesson to be learned/we are sitting in the ashes of the bridges we have burned/we are hoping and we are praying, we are holding to the claim that he's coming back to meet us between the glory and the flame" sums it up
