Good People

Every day I choose
to walk in their shoes
'cause pretty are the feet of those
who bring the good news

Good people
good, good people
everywhere, everywhere it's God's people

Been on the road been far from home
but I found me a friend or two
time has taught me well and I can tell you
the good things people do
they really care and I've been there
seen it with my eyes
you can tell that they're God's people
by the goodness in their lives

I'm not the King

I'm not the King I just sing
I'm just a fraction of a thing
I am not anything without the King of Kings

If I were King I'd be unwise
for my brains aren't King size
a King's someone to trust and love
like Jesus Christ whom I sing of

Walk on Water

chords

Jesus walked out on the water
said take courage it is me
Peter trusted and he wanted to go farther
so he stepped out on the sea

If I keep my eyes on Jesus I can walk on water
If I keep my eyes on Jesus I can walk on water

Just like peter I want to go farther
tread on the sea and walk on the water
step where he steps and go where he goes
side by side when the sea billows roll
I'll be alright when the wind comes
I'll be alright when the waves come crashing
I'm not afraid for this is my father's world

See Through

I'm unstable and extreme
good to bad , I've been burnt in between
the smoke from the fire in my soul
makes a transparent haze
There are things that I can't hide
that would make some people think I've lied
I try to do right but I fail
don't set your eyes on me

I drive all night to sing this song
but I don't even care
Some people want a piece of me
but I've got none to share

Don't you know that God loves you
Don't you know that I try too
I've been known to miss my cue
Don't look at me I'm see through

I would love to be made perfect
but instead I have the grace of God
you should look through me
and you will see what I want to be

Man of God

Sometimes I'm a liar sometimes I'm a fake
sometimes I'm a hypocrite that everybody hates
sometimes I'm a poet sometimes I'm a preacher
sometimes I watch life go by sitting on the bleacher

But I've never been left alone
in any problem that I've known
even though I'm to blame
there were times when things were dark
and I've been known to miss the mark
but someone fixed my aim

Sometimes I'm a man of God
sometimes I'm alright
sometimes I lay down close my eyes
and pray to God

Sometimes I don't feel good
it's hard to start the day
it's hard to climb the obstacles
that sometimes come my way
if I make it, I'm a good man
am I a bad man if I fail?
I know I'm never good enough
so I let grace prevail

But I've never been left alone
in any problem that I've known
even though I'm to blame
there were times when things were dark
and I've been known to miss the mark
but someone fixed my aim

Sometimes I'm a man of God
sometimes I'm alright
sometimes I lay down close my eyes
and pray to God I'm ready for the night

Gloryland

If you want to come with me there's room
there are no legal limits
there's always room for one more soul
so why not come and get it

I want to ride this train to Gloryland
so why don't you come up here
and join the band?

Met the man with the beard
halfway through Kentucky
He walked with me and he talked with me
some people say I'm lucky
for that day the man I met payed the full price
now I ride the train for free
the train to Paradise

Bag Lady

chords/tabs

Flea bitten bag lady
once you looked fine
you had a family you loved
just like mine
Second hand clothing
and knots in your hair
Tonight you might die
but would anyone care
Sweet little lady you soul is worth gold
don't believe all the lies you've been told
I've got a friend a friend indeed
who comes to the rescue of damsels in need

Friend and Father repair their souls
make them feel wanted
make them feel whole
Friend and Father repair their souls
make them feel wanted
make them feel whole

Young daddy's daughter with child on the way
made a mistake but that's okay
life is the most precious gift of them all
Just cry on my shoulder and I'll give a call

I Hear Jesus Calling

I see what eyes cannot see
and ears cannot hear
and brains cannot perceive
I see a spirit over me
that guides protects and keeps me
from some wrecks

I hear Jesus calling
I hear Jesus calling
I hear Jesus calling

I hear words that were said
over two thousand years ago
I hear the spirit when he's near
reminds me who I belong to

I hear Jesus calling
I hear Jesus calling
I hear Jesus calling

Softly and tenderly my Jesus is calling
calling for you and for me
I hear Jesus calling

Memoir

There is music and laughter lately
and there's prayers and praise there
are reasons to be so happy and beliefs to embrace
there are times to be so angry I'd rather lie in the sun
It's the summer of my lifetime
I've been blessed with some fun

I'm a season past springtime
and my life has gone boom
keep my eyes on the Father
everything is in bloom

Everything will just get better
through the seasons I'll roam
when all of the music's over
I will get to go home

I don't need theology
to know that God's been good to me
He's given me a family
and a place to lay my head
Flung into the great unknown
I was walking on my own
now I'll never walk alone
if I did I would be dead
I can't use it all myself
so I take it off the shelf here it is,
enjoy yourself put away your drudgery,
use it up,
there's always more
that's what it's intended for
be the Lord's ambassador
to be the planets remedy
