My feet are on the rock, my name is on the roll But moving and a grooving, it does not satisfy my soul So when I’m down I go off on my own, yes I do And when I feel the need I dance before the throne The people at the church, the kids down at school You know they think that I'm half crazy, they act like I'm a fool But when I'm down I go off on my own And when I feel the need I dance before the throne Take it easy, nice and slow Feel his presence, don’t you know If he says follow, I will go I feel like dancing, ‘cause he saved my soul Goliath had a sword but David had a stone And I have got the Lord, so I am not alone If you knock me down, brother I will not fight you back 'Cos God loves all his children Red, white, yellow, brown and black Take it Charley, take it [Spoken] Well my feet are on the rock, my name is on the roll Moving and a grooving, it does not satisfy your soul But if you're down brother, sister Go off on your own And when you feel the need just dance before the throne

And I see U2's flag, and I say it's been done. Bob Dylan did it. We didn't like it, we told him to stop, we didn't believe him. U2's done it. Some of us say well they're not doing it enough. Hey look, they're them, you're you, I'm me. If you don't think they're doing it right then let's go fill in for them. Let's not leave it up to Billy Graham to come out here. Let's not leave it up to U2 to come out here. Let's not leave it up to Bob Dylan to raise up.... Let's go ourselves. Go into the world and preach the gospel. Jesus said I need twelve good men.

Some people say rock and roll is of the devil, I don't believe that. It came from the church, belongs to the church. There's a good world that God has created here, he's given us everything. The devil has tried to steal it. I don't know why the should, devil should have anything, anything. Not your soul, not your life, not your marriage, not your future, and not your music.

Walk that road, run that race [Spoken, by Larry] It ain’t no good to lay in bed at night And worry 'bout the past About how you mighta done things differently But it just happened way too fast Go on, close your eyes, go to sleep Let those angels bring you dreams And let those tears unwind behind you And float away on silent streams You must live your life the best you can Though you sometimes do your worst You gotta laugh when you fail It’s not the end of the road Your life’s a play you can’t rehearse Don’t make big plans for tomorrow The future lays ahead you know But just try and live each moment as you can instead There’s no use dreaming of a perfect future Or regretting a troubled past It’s only today that counts Live it like it might be your last It’s only today that counts Live it like it might be your last Live it like it might be your last There’s no use dreaming of a perfect future Or regretting a troubled past It’s only today that counts Live it like it might be your last 'Cause it might [Spoken] It’s only today that counts Live it like it might be your last Live it like it might be your last Oh-oh live it like it might be your last

Wo bo bo ba ba ba ba ba ba ba Ba ba ba ba wa ah ba ba ba wa Ba ba ba ba wa ba ba ba O-wa wa wa wa wa This is a song about a man who knew all about the blues [Spoken] Some say he was an outlaw That he roamed across the land With a band of unschooled ruffians And a few young fishermen No one knew just where he came from Or exactly what he'd done But they said it might be something bad That keeps him on the run Some say he was a poet That he'd stand upon the hill And his words could calm an angry crowd Or make the waves stand still And he spoke in many parables That few could understand But the people sat for hours Just to listen to this man Ah ah ha Some say he was a sorcerer Man of mystery He could walk upon the water He could make a blind man see And he conjured wine at weddings And did tricks with fish and bread He spoke of being born again He raised people from the dead Some say he was a radical He talked of being free He was followed by the masses On the shores of Galilee He spoke out against corruption And he bowed to no decree And they feared his strength and power So they nailed him to a tree Some say he was the son of God A man above all men But he came to be a servant And to set us free from sin And that's who I believe he is 'Cause that's who I believe I think we should be ready When it's time for us to leave And now I think we should get ready 'Cause it's almost time to leave He's an unidentified flying object ​We will see him in the air
