Genesis 1-4; Job 7:1; Ecclesiastes 1-12 I look outside into a clouded greying sky I feel the sorrow, yet no tears burn in my eyes I ask a question and the tide begins to swell "Why does the world around me often feel like Hell?" I feel so all alone My flesh, it crawls My spirit groans We try, we struggle to undo the damage done We burn our lives away in vain beneath the sun There is a reason why the road we tread is hard It should be different but our lineage is marred We work the land alone No love can grow From hearts of stone Man and women, He made them to fill and master all the earth But the serpent deceived And God's children believed Then passed the sickness on through birth We bear the cost of their offense But God has not left us for dead He sent his Son as recompense And He did crush the serpent's head And so the answer is not found by human force But when I reckon with my sin and know remorse I give my heart up to the Maker of it all The One who cared enough To come and catch my fall I am more then flesh and bone This fallen world is not my home Lyrics by Randy Michaud ©2003 Fiercely Independent Music, ASCAP

Redeemed 03:26

Have you ever been taught about your soul? You can be saved And so I ask death, "O where is thy sting? Or thy victory, grave?" For God has numbered the hairs of your head And He cares for you And your name can be found in the Book of Life When this life is through When you draw your final breath Will a life after death Still seem a notion for fools? Would you like to live in hope, Not at the end of your rope? Allow Jesus to rule. Walk into the truth, walk into the light And He will change your ways Seek Him now while He can be found Before the end of your days Would you like to know today Before you pass away How you can be free of all this strife? Put your faith in Christ and just realize That He is the Way, the Truth and the Life Do you hesitate in the debate Of how it is that three can be one? Make no mistake, God is the Father, God is the Spirit, God is the Son I know it is true it was me and you That crucified Christ He took our sin upon Himself He paid the price He died for all, He would've died for one Just believe He gave His life that we might live Now just receive Perhaps you'll make your choice this day Before you're dead and gone No compromise, repent and be baptized For Christ is the One Eternity is a long, long time So please don't hesitate But there's always hope while you're alive It's never too late!

Flower 06:05
Matthew 13:3-8; 18-30; Philippians 1:6 "You're a flower child, You know 'Kum-Ba-Yah' and all that." -Trever Hoisington Father, take this seed For I am waiting among the weeds Plant me in the fertile ground Where Your richness and mercies abound Where my life was undone, Something new had begun Break me - my shell Cause my spirit inside to swell Guide me through the toil Move me up through the soil Will I fade away? Or die in the heat of the day? I want to push on through An in the morning bring glory to You Drench me with living rain That I may never thirst again Clothe me in your grace Safe and warm in Your Son's embrace For He who began this good work in me Is able and faithful to make it complete I'll turn to His light and His goodness repeat Over and over again... See me, I'm alive! In Your garden I grow and thrive Gentle, calm and still I am rooted within Your will And as my petals unfold Speaking mysteries long foretold The world is not enough room For the faith of a flower in bloom Lyrics by Randy Michaud ©2003 Fiercely Independent Music, ASCAP

Proverbs 6:25; Matthew 5:27-28; 1 John 2:16 "As a result, we are more and more directing the desires of men to something which does not exist - making the role of the eye in sexuality more and more important and at the same time making its demands more and more impossible, What follow you can easily forecast!" - Screwtape (C.S. Lewis - "The Screwtape Letters") Seductive images Creating an illusive mind A gifted young imagination Twisting 'til it binds Here it comes again Through my dreams, through my eyes Fatal attraction I desire, I despise This constant battle Cannot be heard above my cries "Please hold me up Lord! So I won't fall for these lies!" Nurtured by the media A wretched social disease Infected my innocence Brought me to my knees Brought me to my knees This is the story of my life And how I've struggled with it It looks good, it feels good It's NOT good, it's NOT worth it! They tell you, "Look but just don't touch" I tell you they are lying I let this lust invade my heart I only end up crying This fantasy cannot begin To fill the void within you This hole was left inside your Heart So God could reside in you Habitual sin Perpetual desire Driven by a hunger To play around the fire Here it comes again Through my dreams, through my eyes Fatal attraction I desire, I despise This constant battle Cannot be heard above my cries "Please hold me up Lord! So I won't fall for these lies!" Clutching at the emptiness Of what cannot be had Cause enough for sadness It's no surprise I'm said No surprise I'm sad Lyrics by Randy Michaud ©2003 Fiercely Independent Music, ASCAP

Job 31:1; John 3:14; 12:32 "The damage is done My child, it's time to change And from this way of life To find yourself estranged Now seek forgiveness And reap this loss Your strength must come from Jesus And His blood sacrifice upon the Cross" "Look on the Cross! Look on the Cross" Lyrics by Randy Michaud ©2003 Fiercely Independent Music, ASCAP
