You’re a bridegroom of blood to me
It’s a fine mess now can’t you see
Just how everything changed when you took hold of me
You’re a blood-stained groom to me
I saw how you came along
Showing who’s boss, and who’s wrong
Playin’ the hero like I needed you
Thinkin’ I’d sing you a song
Water to wash and to slake
Giving out bread for my sake
Thru all the wastelands you had what I’d need
And promise of wine while I wait
Cut off my heart from the world
Cut up the world of this girl
Taking the blood you knew I’d never give
To place in my hands such a pearl

Scarlet Cord (Joshua 2)
04:28

Crowded here along inside this room
Trapped within so long it’s like my tomb
Choices that I’ve made, Or some old family way
becomes my doom
Far off in the distance I can hear
People from afar now drawing near
Fire in the sky, Stories passing by
leave us in fear
Now a scarlet cord swings in this dead, dry heat
A promise that was made I’m trusting still that you will see
Shame is on display and my whole world despises me
What is there now left for me to do?
But sit beneath this scarlet cord
Wait for you and believe
most of life is waiting 'round to die,
sitting, wondering if it's worth a try
I would soldier on, play at being strong,
not asking why
hope is something I'd been taught to fear
never give a word, nor lend an ear
then they came around, telling what they'd found
and that you're near
Now a scarlet cord swings in this dead, dry heat
A promise that was made I’m trusting still that you will see
Shame is on display and my whole world despises me
What is there now left for me to do?
But sit beneath this scarlet cord
Wait for you and believe
And Now I see in time
A morning star will rise
So I can bear this long long night
Still a scarlet cord swings in this dead, dry heat
A promise that was made I’m trusting still that you will see
Shame is on display and my whole world despises me
What is there now left for me to do?
But sit beneath this scarlet cord
Wait for you and believe

Get Up, Get up he screams, and I’ve no strength to wonder why
Kick me while I’m down and claim it’s me that makes him cry
And after all that laughter, such a clever charming guy,
What would you say?
What would you say if I crawled to your door?
Left my blood smeared all across your wall?
If I reached the threshold and I called?
What would you say?
Daddy shrugs and claims I should answer for my ways
Daddy wonders who is right and who might who betray
So here I walk into the dark with fools who love decay
Well what would you say?
What would you say if I crawled to your door?
Left my blood smeared all across your wall?
If I reached the threshold and I called?
What would you say?
What would you say if I crawled to your door?
Left my blood smeared all across your wall?
If I reached the threshold and I called?
What would you say?
Listen to the crowd sing out and clamour for a sign
Shout for blood and long to see the innocent maligned
Now no one’s left but nails, thorns, and the taste of sour wine
What did you say?
What should I say?
What should I say when I crawl to your door?
See your precious blood spilled on the floor?
Do I believe this settles all the scores?
What do you say?
What do you say when I crawl to your door?
Leave my blood smeared all across your wall?
If I reach the threshold and I called?
What would you say?
What would you say?

Sunlight, Blue Skies, You know that it’s all right
Chosen, for this time, look how that thing shines
So reach out reach out, Come on keep it steady
Reach out reach out you know my heart is ready
Reach out reach out, I just might touch the glory
What’ve I done, what’ve I done? what’ve I done?
What’ve I done what’ve I done, What’ve I done?
What’ve I done?
I Saw a moment my life stuck in time
I saw the lightning and thunder of my life
So reach out reach out, Come on keep it steady
Reach out reach out you know my heart is ready
Reach out reach out, I just might touch the glory
What’ve I done, what’ve I done? what’ve I done?
What’ve I done what’ve I done, What’ve I done?
What’ve I done?
And still you bless them, even while they cry
still You search then even when they hide
You are good, good good, in your rebuke
You are good, good, even when we’re fools
So reach out reach out, Come on keep it steady
Reach out reach out you know my heart is ready
Reach out reach out, I just might touch the glory
What’ve I done, what’ve I done? what’ve I done?
What’ve I done what’ve I done, What’ve I done?
What’ve I done?

Here comes that old man again
and all of my friends wink and roll their eyes
he's got a hard word to say
to trust in his way and look to the sky
So I pour out, while I cry
All my life, poured out and dry
And yet I still listen and try
And I pour
What have I got but today
A kid and no way To keep our name alive
What chance does he have to live
To grow and to give, hope and to thrive
So I pour out, while I cry
All my life, poured out and dry
And yet I still listen and try
And I pour
Did you send all this so I’d cry even more?
I search the sky for some way you’re keeping score
One drop of goodness, One Drop of rain
But only daily bread you send me again
So I pour out, while I cry
All my life, poured out and dry
And yet I still listen and try
And I pour

Wave My hand, yeah they all run after that
Drop out my name, yeah, and put on my best hat
Fill up my cup and load my plate with all the fat
But I’m nowhere near the top cat, no where near...
Yeah I’m In (but I’m out)
But I’m in (and I’m out)
Am I in (while I’m out)?
Yeah I’m out, but I’m in, but I’m in
I got a hundred to command well have you heard
But there’s no way that I turn death with just a word
Oh so much useless power, yeah ain’t that absurd
But here it’s my heart that’s been cured, here’s my heart….
Yeah I’m In (but I’m out)
But I’m in (and I’m out)
Am I in (while I’m out)?
Yeah I’m out, but I’m in, but I’m in
How much power, How much lack can I bring?
This broken life under a sword on a string
What hope could I get in this world where I cling
What sort of privileged is left for me here?
When all those out in front will all take up the rear
And all the while I sit where angels long to peer
What’s left now that I fear? What should I fear?
Yeah I’m In (but I’m out)
But I’m in (and I’m out)
Am I in (while I’m out)?
Yeah I’m out, but I’m in, but I’m in

Standing in the back again, But I still see it all
Push and shove of others, With you there still and small
I remember a crowd of thousands Across the greening hills
They turned and loved the bloodstains when tired of the thrills
How My fears catch my out again
and I’m caught running naked from the scene
I’m a smoldering wick again
wondering if you’ll ever see
Will I hide here forever then,
or will you come and cover me, cover me?
Watching waiting willing, but they turn and walk away
I know it’s me that shattered, are they only preaching grace?
Then My fears catch my out again
and I’m caught running naked from the scene
I’m a smoldering wick again
wondering if you’ll ever see
Will I hide here forever then,
or will you come and cover me, cover me?
And all of those times I’d sit and smile
With the crowd that I never did fit in
All the great minds, and all the uphill climbs
And the long lonely letters with my sin
Still my fears catch my out again
and I’m caught running naked from the scene
I’m a smoldering wick again
wondering if you’ll ever see
Will I hide here forever then,
or will you come and cover me, cover me?

Meet me in the Garden
Words that haunt me where I lay
Greeting and a kiss seen
How easy we can betray
Swords they flash, like diamonds
Lust for power just to slay
How it all entraps, defiles
Much like how my life it lays
But you speak and I fall to the earth
You reach and I try to hide my face
You touch and I wonder how you heal
And then I hear you calling out my name
Johnny he said nothing
Johnny turned and ran away
You just stood there watching
A quiet rock above the fray
Then you speak and I fall to the earth
You reach and I try to hide my face
You touch and I wonder how you heal
And then I hear you calling out my name
Blood and water pour
Sky and curtain torn
What I’ve seen, what you stepped between
Leaves me asking, what’s it for?
Still you speak and I fall to the earth
Still You reach and I try to hide my face
Still You touch and I wonder how you heal
And Still I hear you calling out my name…

Sunshine and salt on my face
Windswept wave, and so much at stake
All eyes follow my wake
All question why I’m running this race
Only a letter to read, all of those questions to me
All of the ways I could stumble and Fall on my knees
And the wonder of it all you put your word into the hands of this girl
And I wander thru the seas and wonder how all this history unfurls
And with every passing mile you know the weight of the world
Long times I would see fire
Lost child and lovers who die
Your word came and gave light
Your face shines in the night
Only a letter to read, all of those questions to me
All of the ways I could stumble and Fall on my knees
And the wonder of it all you put your word into the hands of this girl
And I wander thru the seas and wonder how all this history unfurls
And with every passing mile you know the weight of the world
Pillars of fire weave thru all of my dreams
Walking alone and yet you’re leading me
How then should I speak, feeling so weak?
And the wonder of it all you put your word into the hands of this girl
And I wander thru the seas and wonder how all this history unfurls
And with every passing mile you know the weight of the world
