One name

 All the best cowboys are known by one name 

Hondo, Buster, & Colt
Tough, mean, no in between 
Faced with a fight they don’t bolt

There is one name above every other 
His name is our greatest story 
Down on a knee Every cowboy can see 
Jesus, both Brother and Glory

Hondo was right  when he said lead the way
His team knew he was talking ‘bout cattle
Christ’s team is us, accept without fuss
Our drive is a hard fought battle 

There is one name above every other 
His name is our greatest story 
Down on a knee Every cowboy can see 
Jesus, both Brother and Glory

There is one name above every other 
His name is our greatest story 
Down on a knee Every cowboy can see 
Jesus, both Brother and Glory.

Philippians 2:9-11

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
and gave him the name that is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.

Vice disguised as Virtue

 I’m waiting to see what God has for me 

I’m waiting to see what God has for me 
I’m guilty 
I’m guilty 

I’ve let the root of bitterness in 
Can’t excuse my swearing just ‘cause I’m on course 
Underneath vice lurks wish to win

I shouldn’t let what’s happening make my Light dim 
Instead I should focus, forgive, and follow Him

What’s with all the winning 
Another  notch upon my belt 
If I just keep on sinning 
My obedience ain’t heartfelt 
I’m looking, searching around for joy
My heart can’t again be lost 
I learn again that vice is sin 
Christ is both virtue and cost.

Matthew 5:37
All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.

El Shaddai remains the same

 God Almighty remains the same 

Almighty 
We change, shrink, return to dust 
God remains 
Almighty 

El Shaddai, your years will never end 
You are a mighty King 
All Your ways have been revealed 
Our response: to sing

Sing we will, forevermore 
All nations, tribe, and tongue
True and just You paved the path 
All sin on Christ was hung 

Trust in Christ, He’s our King 
Down To Earth He came 
He’s unshaken, don’t be mistaken 
El Shaddai remains the same.

Hebrews 1:12

You will roll them up like a robe;
like a garment they will be changed.
But you remain the same,
and your years will never end.”

Revelation 15:3-4
and sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb:
“Great and marvelous are your deeds,
Lord God Almighty.
Just and true are your ways,
King of the nations.
Who will not fear you, Lord,
and bring glory to your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship before you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed.”

Psalms 21:7

For the king trusts in the LORD;
through the unfailing love of the Most High
he will not be shaken.

Let’s Count consume as well as Produce

 Didn’t really want to write this 

So sick of consumption 
Crucial, however, for every endeavour 
Need energy to function 

Ain’t no need to worry, ain’t no need to fret 
God is our prize as well as shield
He keeps us, clothes us, even shows us 
Known forever all the ways we’re healed 

We ain’t gotta worry ‘bout what kind of food we eat 
Ain’t no need to worry ‘bout what we wear 
He’s already fought the battle, already won the war 
We’re bandaged up and healing, covered in care 

Lets change  the focus from trade imbalance
How tribes increase or reduce 
What matters most, our heavenly Host 
Let’s Count consume as well as Produce 

Isn’t it interesting,  mind blowing even
Perfect number is seven
Christ’s resurrection pencils perfection 
Be back to take His number to Heaven 

Ain’t no need to worry, ain’t no need to fret 
God is our prize as well as shield
He keeps us, clothes us, even shows us 
Known forever all the ways we’re healed

Ain’t no need to worry, ain’t no need to fret 
God is our prize as well as shield
He keeps us, clothes us, even shows us 
Known forever all the ways we’re healed.


Genesis 15:1

The LORD’s Covenant With Abram
After this, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision:
“Do not be afraid, Abram.
I am your shield,
your very great reward. ”

Matthew 6:25

Do Not Worry
6:25-33pp — Lk 12:22-31
“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes?

Revelation 21:1

A New Heaven and a New Earth
Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.

Let it play out

 Waiting’s never fun, Ain’t easy either 

At times you feel  like you might bust 
We strive to plan ahead, for all we know we’re dead 
The way to wait is to stay in tune with Trust

Let it play out 
Let it all play out 
Just sit back and watch what He can do 
Let it play out 
Let it all play out 
End o’days you find your ways are few 
We run and work and struggle 
Our hearts Can’t fathom late 
We take our own trail through the woods 
Our twists and turns set straight 
Let it play out 
Let it all play out 
Just sit back and watch what He can do 
Let it play out 
Let it all play out 
End o’days you find your ways are few 
Let it play out 
Let it all play out 
Just sit back and watch what He can do 
Let it play out 
Let it all play out 
End o’days you find your ways are few.

Proverbs 16:9

In their hearts humans plan their course,
but the LORD establishes their steps.

Proverbs 3:5-6

Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.

Twice dead

 Second death is no joke, it's judgement 

Are you waiting, He's waiting for you 
He brings salvation, induces damnation 
Your choice to wait with the few 

Avoid love feasts, don't be the reef
Some things you just say never 
Feast without fear, uprooted up here
Utter darkness down there forever 

Don't be the wild wave, casting up foam 
It's a short, sharp span to your shame
Don't be star that wanders, be person that ponders 
How best to wait in Jesus' name?

Hebrews 9:27-28 (NIV)
27 Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him.

Jude 1:12-13
12 These are hidden reefs at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear, shepherds feeding themselves; waterless clouds, swept along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted; 13 wild waves of the sea, casting up the foam of their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved forever.

You gotta be blue to bring the blues

 God wants humility

Ain’t no need for proud
When we need cares He stops and stares 
Our lives are cranked up loud 

He hears, He sees 
When our hearts are humbled 
‘Spose that means our hearts He cleans 
Means more than mouths are mumbled 

You gotta be blue to bring the blues 
To Him means everything 
To you and me, we just can’t see
Our alms are us we bring 

Pays to be blue to bring the blues 
Looks like your dues are paid 
Once thought evolved, now see revolved 
We ain’t evolved, we’re made 

Pick up that piece, crank up your voice 
He hears what all we do 
When you’re bringing  blues to Him 
Pays to be a lil’ bit blue

You gotta be blue to bring the blues 
To Him means everything 
To you and me, we just can’t see
Our alms are us we bring 

You gotta be blue to bring the blues 
To Him means everything 
To you and me, we just can’t see
Our alms are us we bring.


Psalms 51:17

My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart
you, God, will not despise.

Culmination

 Our whole lives lead to this point 

Each breath on earth preempted
Don’t lose hope, peer past the pope
Our Lord himself was tempted

On each turn a heart is beating 
Human nature’s force
He sees each run, knows all that’s done 
The One completed course 

See we’re not all, it’s all y’all 
We’re all up in His race
Mankind, some see, some blind 
All over time and space 

Each of us, through ages, have thought “it’s me”
Problem peering past self 
Til you’re faced with The One who shaped the sun
It dawns  you’re not on the shelf

If your heart beats, He’s using you 
He’s plans for you to follow 
He’s run the race, set the pace
Rock solid, others are hollow 

Others there are, all around just see 
Trying to pull you off course 
It ain’t God, truth be told, accuser of old 
If you fall get back on your horse 

God’s there to help you, Pick you up dust you off 
He’s done that for Israel for ages 
He’s crafty and cunning, racers keep running 
We see life is made up of stages 

Some stages are tiresome,  others are free
Are we missing information 
When all’s said and done, it’s His race  we’ve run
Christ is the culmination. 
Hebrews 2:18
Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are being tempted.

Proverbs 4:23
Above all else, guard your heart,
for everything you do flows from it.

The gift of time

 War is a waste

Our most precious gift
Lives of people so matter
To seek all it costs,  to line up the lost
Have to be mad as a hatter

Lay down your arms and sing 
Just set down your guns and sing
Your choice to be wise, your heart in God's eyes
He’s teaching us all to just sing 

What are we doing when we put our arms down 
To whom are we actually yielding 
To God and His way, this act will say
All lives are actually worth shielding 

Lay down your arms and sing 
Just set down your guns and sing
Your choice to be wise, your heart in God's eyes
He’s teaching us all to just sing 

Lay down your arms and sing 
Just set down your guns and sing
Your choice to be wise, your heart in God's eyes
He’s teaching us all to just sing.

Psalms 90:12

Teach us to number our days,
that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

Live for others

 What I’ve  got today

I have for a reason 

May be friends, don’t know when it ends 
It’s all there for a season

Live for others 
Forget yourself 
It’s why we’re all alive 
Seems like passion 
It’s just fashion
Even what I drive 

Fashion is as fashion does 
We can make better choices 
I’ll live for you 
You live for me 
Cars can be our voices 

Live for others 
Forget yourself 
It’s why we’re all alive 
Seems like passion 
It’s just fashion
Even what I drive.

Max Headspace

 I’m here to tell you what you do counts 

There’s only these hours each day 
Priorities  move, outcomes improve 
Your brain sees a much better way

Choices abound, not all of them sound 
We really do reap what we sow
The drugs that you take the brain just can’t make 
Choice means More’n just high or low 

Limited space means limited time 
You think it’s eternal, it is
Headspace, however, is tied to endeavour 
We’re created to sizzle, not fizz

Sizzle we can, life is good as it is
No additive needed nor sought 
Live the life you’ve been given, see the car that you’ve driven
It’s a rental, it was long ago bought 

Bought we all were, blood was the price
Eternity harbours in hearts
Not just you and me,it’s a team won’t you see 
It’s greater than the sum of its parts

So do it for others, Your sisters and brothers 
They in turn do it for you
Live life to the full, sharpen don’t dull 
It matters, and the days are but few

Again what I’m saying is treat yourself good
Life’s precious, and people so matter
See yourself as fielder, catcher, or pitcher 
Truth is we’re all the next batter. 

Ecclesiastes 3:11
He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

Consistent conduct

 Do what you can do 

Don’t give up, keep trying
Get up each day and trek along The Way
Go on and tell the truth if you’ve been lying 

Consistent conduct
It’s the way to live today
Consistent conduct
The Way to make life pay

As for shunning people 
It’s harsh but for the best
Some folks hold you, sit still and scold you 
For rocking their round-the-clock rest

Consistent conduct
It’s the way to live today
Consistent conduct
The Way to make life pay

Consistent conduct
It’s the way to live today
Consistent conduct
The Way to make life pay.

2 Thessalonians 3:6-15
Warning Against Idleness
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we command you, brothers and sisters, to keep away from every believer who is idle and disruptive and does not live according to the teaching you received from us. For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you, nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you. We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate. For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: “The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat.”. We hear that some among you are idle and disruptive. They are not busy; they are busybodies. Such people we command and urge in the Lord Jesus Christ to settle down and earn the food they eat. And as for you, brothers and sisters, never tire of doing what is good. Take special note of anyone who does not obey our instruction in this letter. Do not associate with them, in order that they may feel ashamed. Yet do not regard them as an enemy, but warn them as you would a fellow believer.

Youngest son

 Was Goliath David's neighbour 

They could see across the valley of Elah

What God commands He also hands 
His power to this ruddy, young fella 

Some things we can't question, take them as read
There's a chasm tween the old and the new 
Jesus, our Saviour, commands our behaviour 
Entire law is fulfilled with His view

Saul's a head taller, David's brothers were too 
They were warriors and older for a start 
Folks see appearance, God sees adherence 
He and He only sees heart.

1 Samuel 16:6-12 (NIV)
6 When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, “Surely the LORD’s anointed stands here before the LORD.”
7 But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
8 Then Jesse called Abinadab and had him pass in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, “The LORD has not chosen this one either.” 9 Jesse then had Shammah pass by, but Samuel said, “Nor has the LORD chosen this one.” 10 Jesse had seven of his sons pass before Samuel, but Samuel said to him, “The LORD has not chosen these.” 11 So he asked Jesse, “Are these all the sons you have?”
“There is still the youngest,” Jesse answered. “He is tending the sheep.”
Samuel said, “Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives.”
12 So he sent for him and had him brought in. He was glowing with health and had a fine appearance and handsome features.
Then the LORD said, “Rise and anoint him; this is the one.”

Galatians 5:14 (NIV)
14 For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”

Boundless being

 I once thought it was about me 

That I’s some kind of herald
The truth I see ain’t you or me 
We’re not the ones imperilled 

Jesus died, He gave His life 
Ultimate sacrifice 
He’ll come back down, most awesome sound 
His dead are first to rise 
Boundless being 
Boundless being 
Our eyes can’t see our souls
What we think is perfect 
Is still just full of holes 

Up in the air, all our air 
Can’t  grasp what we’ll be seeing 
Above the earth there is no dearth
We’re each a boundless being 
Boundless being 
Boundless being 
Our eyes can’t see our souls
What we think is perfect 
Is still just full of holes 

Thanks be to God, who doesn’t change 
He says our future’s certain 
If you still think it’s absurd to rely on His Word
Prepare for the fall of the final curtain 

Boundless being 
Boundless being 
Our eyes can’t see our souls
What we think is perfect 
Is still just full of holes 

Boundless being 
Boundless being 
Our eyes can’t see our souls
What we think is perfect 
Is still just full of holes.


Psalms 119:96

To all perfection I see a limit,
but your commands are boundless.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.
