Remote Control

When those in charge just keep holding their hands on either side of your face, forcing you to look into their eyes, and continually repeat, "everything's fine, it's all okay, everything's fine...relax, trust me...it's all going to be alright" despite your most rational protest, what then?? Moreover, if prayer is just a "magic-trick" to get what is wanted, and it doesn't work, it's easy to feel just as disconnected from above as from D.C.

Lyrics: Jeff Kreh

I got to know where the road leads in my time
and find that it is when your mind is mine
I need you to come and show me
Show that you really know me

Blow my heart when the world is snowy
waken up til it's extra glowy
raindrops turn to gumdrops
gumdrops help the pain pop

The gloom is ever pressed
down here is where the rest are best
to be or not has truly left the scene

Lost the remote control (two-way sound system's broken)
Lost the remote control (and so all praise is token)
My, oh My, old eyes are clouds of rain
My, oh My, we will never be the same
Unless somebody leaves this couch to change the dial
Who will say, "I"?

(Why did you stop there?)

The gloom is ever pressed
down here is where the rest are best
to be or not has truly left the scene


Lost the remote control (two-way sound system's broken)
Lost the remote control (and so all praise is token)
My, oh My, old eyes are clouds of rain
My, oh My, we will never be the same
Unless somebody leaves this couch to change the dial
Who will say, "I"?

I got to know where the road leads in my time
and find that it is when your mind is mine
I need you to come and show me
Show that you really know me


Blow my heart when the world is snowy
waken up til it's extra glowy
raindrops turn to gumdrops
gumdrops help the pain pop


The gloom is ever pressed
down here is where the rest are best
to be or not has truly left the scene

I See You

"What does Jesus look like from our time/space distance to one who desperately wants to believe?"

Lyrics: Jeff Kreh


I see you
standing there before me
know I can't ignore
when you're looking at me that way
Yeah, and I see you
arms open wide
inviting me inside
never thought I'd feel this way
Cause?


Everyone says it's wrong to fall in love with you
Everyone says I'm wasting all my time
Sometimes I start to believe it
'Til I see you


I see you
hair a tangled mess
lips are drippin' red
for me there's just no other way
To express
all I feel for you
and all the things you do
you've been doing since the first day
Still,


Chorus


The day You died the world fell apart
Such a work of art to take it once for everyone
But You know sometimes I act so ashamed
'Til I see you standing there before me
Arms open wide, can't hide how I feel inside
You know I just can't wait until
I see you
