Just Highlights

so take a moment and stand with me
inside the shoes of another man
cos when you look at my family tree
you'll find my name on another man
it's just highlights of it all
i hope i paint a picture

Disturber

sunday morning and i take a look around
now it's great to fill this chapel but no-one's making sound
please don't tell me that this deep down gift of joy
is the one where laughing is not allowed
i find i'm moved by the truth the preacher's talking
life giving, as the King gives up his Crown for me.
so even if i'm on my own,
i'll Hallelujah 'til they throw me out of town
could i be the disturber
and cause something new to birth
could i be your disturber
just to somehow get you stirred
says the old man, with a harsh and angry frown
why the need for noise and fuss wont you please settle down
i see this grown man that's still acting like a boy,
when he could have joined us on higher ground
like when you're moved by a sermon that needs teaching
try listening, you'll find wisdom that's confounding you
so son you face a decision,
change this behaviour,
or find somewhere else somehow

Wait For Your Father

please don't wait for your father,
cos darling i've got a vision
maybe we could find a life together
then we'll build something that lasts
now i don't know what's been before,
but i feel there's a new life to explore,
please look away, from your nine to five day
there's adventure beyond what we know
there's our very own family, a car and a house
a future that's outside the box
so i'll steal you away from your cow milking days
and we'll venture beyond what we know
you see - my plans are too massive for one,
can't we do something never been done?
please choose me today and we'll marry straight away
i'm excited about what's to come
we'll start with the foundations, then walls and windows
we'll dedicate our lives to the cause
so please join me on this mission,
look please don't leave me wishing
i can't fight for your love much more

Wedding Day
04:17
|
|||
|
so lock the doors and we'll say our vows
i'll be your one and only man
you'll see no family present 'cos i've got none left
it's just you and me sweetheart
so i look in your eyes and breathe i love you
i've got all the riches in the world
i don't need no money,
and i don't need no fame
cos this is all i'm waiting for
just to stand here next to you
is all i want
my perfect bride
my beautiful
oh how i've prayed for this day to come
when we would join our lives in covenant
and you would take my name as your own
i wish there were more guests here so i could show you off
you are what i'm proud of,
but still this witnessed promise is all i'm living for
just to give it all over to you
and i've been counting down my days to today,
cos this is all i'm waiting for
this is life
not just a wedding day

Message Carrier
05:12
|
|||
|
hello, now please just hear me while you're on your way
cold faces abandoned, not wanting to slow down their day
who is he, a man looking like a clown,
why is he always shouting around town
i know you're hurried, with ticking clocks loud in your head
take time, consider if you believe something i've said
i am raising this banner high
not saying your end is nigh,
i'm just in love,
i'm overflowing my salvation.
confused they're staring, a flicker of hope still remains,
so i'll stay still standing, in hope to convey these bold claims
i'll keep printing out the verses

It's History

all these little stories
forgot as time goes by
seems like ancient history
but they're echoed in my life
