[NickHassan]

way out in the darkness the strident voices of theological touts
describing bravely what they'd never seen and knew so little about
to followers who should know in their hearts what is taught to every man
it is written in nature all they need to begin and wonder, listen to the nazarene

[Irene]

Speaking from the Heart, it is so heavy today. Seeing all Humanity suffering, in unbelief.
To see through the eyes of the Holy Spirit.
Come out of Her my people.
Do we even understand, what that inclines?
Let your Light shine, or should we put it under a bushel?
Why O, Why I cry.
Why, O Why do I suffer then?
O wretched man that I am.
Don't you understand?
He has come and set us free!!!!!
Glory, glory hallelujah.
Sing forever more.
Praising our Father in Heaven every day.
Should I cry??
Or should I sing??
Hallelujah, forever more.
Sleep no more, be awake and praise unceasing.
Now I have spoken out of my Heart!
Are you happy now?

Peace and Love Irene

are these words not all jumbled are these maps really true
is it not so much easier to trust experts like you
how can i see life clearly with these thick glasses i wear
but you told me i need them so they must stay there
commonsense is a hazard you warned me about
so my feet in your footsteps is all that i dare
why are you getting smaller is that quicksand you're in
never mind must be me and this myopism

[NickHassan]

you've got, you've nailed it, agreeing with me, first step to glory
being ignorance free, you've left in your wake all those carnal confused
who can never grasp freedom from scriptural bonds, your intellect has wings
can take you now far, far beyond into realms of the angels who stepped from their bounds
now in a prison, for judgement rebounds on those slipping the kind yoke
given to guide us and keep us from harm that we bring,
on ourselves by too much thinking.

[NickHassan]

let me cuddle your chldren, let me tickle your chin,
it's great to have company in this pickle i'm in
the last folks that i walked with a father and son,
well we lost contact way back when I started to run
and i threw off my armour, my clothing and pack
now it's got a bit colder and darker in fact
so i wondered if you might have any food left
you get hungry so quick in this mountain air
but it's not that i'm worried i'm quite ok now
did you have any matches, i left mine back there
i'm sure i'm allright, trusty intellect secure
whats that sound no one told me
there's wolves around here

[NickHassan]

the vanity of intellect is what you do not see, cannot therefore exist
in perpetuity, but taking note of mans design two eyes are at the front,
leaving room for flank attacks, vulnerability, back of us not seen, too late
so wake up quickly lad be scholarly, not a preacher of ignorance,
take a seat, listen to, the schoolmaster from nazareth.

[NickHassan]

just like a car we all have reverse gear for times that we blunder
into swamp territory, if we keeping forward we soon sink below
and have to ask nicely to be given a tow, so it seems commonsense
take care with progress and quickly reverse when error evident.

[NickHassan]

dull men demand the right to filter information from our God
but they do not even know how to engage His heart of love
they do not know His language and His motives are mystery
i really wonder if they are appointed to mediate for you and me.

[NickHassan]

i put the bottles out at the gate and in the morning i brought in the milk
really i brought in the bottles but now they were full if you can integrate
pass the milk would you mind, whoa, passing the bottles would be fine
the bottles are not much good in my tea it's the milk that i want please

REMEMBER YOUR CREATER

CORUS
Remember your creator in the days of your youth
Before the time of trouble will appear
Remember your creator, He's the author of all truth
Remember now before the years draw near.

Before you see no purpose
Before your arms are weak
Before your ears grow dull and eyes grow dim
Before your teeth are few
Before its tough to stay asleep
It's time to stop and give some time to Him.

CHORUS
Before your daughters songs are low
Before your fear the heights
Before the city streets are filled with fear
Before desire fails, you loose your vision and your sight
It's time to realize the time is near

CHORUS
Before the silver cored is loosed and life just rushes by
Before the golden bowl is shattered
When dust returns onto the earth and breath to God on high
You know for sure its time to start a new.

CHORUS
Remember your creator will soon be here.

Peace and Love
Irene

God has visited His people but the one they saw was not Him
they saw His blessed Son, the vessel, the one He was living in
the son gave them eyes to see his Dad within his mortal frame
we too are lamps that shine, light up the world in his mighty name

[NickHassan]

it's about insecurity, that we all born with, have to rebuff
different ways to sort it, one is enough, some use self reliance
and others use wealth, while knowledge to some seems to help repel
that gnawing anxiety, hunger, self doubt given by God, to Him to propel

[NickHassan]

they gathered their friends, sat down to discuss a new idol
for them all to share, they drew up the plans of someone like them
so nice and friendly and fair, then they chiselled away using human type clay
they formed a delightful smiling icon, which they robed in scripture, blessed with pomp, some ritual
put it up high on the wall, saying don't speak to us, no, we don't want any fuss
it's just comfort to know you are there, we're content with our lot but
need to be seen to look up to a being,somewhere,
but for goodness sake don't answer back.
the idol continued smiling.

[NickHassan]

pulling yourself up by your bootstraps may give the illusion of good
but the hopes of impressing our Maker by such folly, misunderstood
made for to fail, we find we are weak, dependant in all we undertake
to come up we go down, submission is all and let Him start to renovate

[NickHassan]

they jumped into their ISMs and started racing down the track
yelling how their lovely ISMs were better than others further back
but they never made much progress going in circles round and round
while the walkers just ignored them and approached the sacred ground

[NickHassan]

i've got an idea, it sounds good to me so I believe it inspired and i hope you can see
that it is truth, agreement with me is the essence of life in the kingdom of me
my thoughts are all pure, aligned with heaven you see, no i never err,
and unless you are carnal, with me you'll concur

[NickHassan]

just a little inspiration mixed with much determination
stir in worldly understandings and drain off all self doubt
let it stand for an hour or two, bathe in warmth of self approval
while the wild yeasts of speculation raise it like the tower of babel
then bake it serve it to your guests, sprinkled with a hint of real scripture
just to give authentic tang, you have made a famous dish, the utter folly of man.

[Irene]

Ye people rend your hearts
Rend your hearts and not your garments
For your transgression
The prophet Elijah hath sealed the heavens
Through the Word of God
I therefore say to ye
Forsake your Idols, return to God
For He is slow to anger and merciful and kind
And gracious, and repenteth Him of all evil

If with all your hearts you truly seek Me
Ye shall ever surely find Me
Thus saith our God, thus saith our God

Oh, that I knew where I might find Him
That I might even come before His presence
Oh, that I knew where I might find Him
That I might even come before His presence
Come before His presence
Oh, that I knew where I might find Him

If with all your hearts you truly seek Me
Ye shall surely find Me
Thus saith our God
Ye, shall surely find Me
Thus saith our God.

Peace and Love Irene

bodily exercise little value, but we are running as to win
race set before us with patience, knowing most will fall away
boxing as to hit the target not just beating at the air
overcomers join him on the dais, victory speech already made.

[NickHassan]

human nature loves to bargain, Father knows our wily hearts
starkest choices written clearly, no more room to argue round
hate your parents cut your arm off, pluck offending eyes right out
any lesser choice made easy, now such boundaries defined
serve two masters must hate one, black and white, no colour gray
make your choices, hot or cold, even lukewarm not enough
those not with us are against us, between two gods to choose today
