"Streams in the Desert" written by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman - a book of daily devotionals originally published in 1925

 "Streams in the Desert"

February 10th

"Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves."  (Romans 12:19)

    THERE are seasons when to be STILL demands immeasurably higher strength than to act.  Composure is often the highest result of power.  To the vilest and most deadly charges Jesus responded with deep, unbroken silence, such as excited the wonder
of the judge and the spectators.  To the grossest insults, the most violent ill-treatment and mockery that might well bring
indignation to the feeblest heart, He responded with voiceless complacent calmness.  Those who are unjustly accused, and
causelessly ill-treated know what tremendous strength is necessary to keep silence to God.

    "Men may misjudge thy aim,
    Think they have cause to blame, 
    Say, thou art wrong;
    Keep on thy quiet way,
    Christ is the Judge, not they,
    Fear not, be strong."

    St. Paul said, "None of these things move me."

    He did not say, none of these things HURT me.  It is one thing to be hurt, and quite another to be moved.  St. Paul
had a very tender heart.  We do not read of any apostle who cried as St. Paul did.  It takes a strong man to cry.  Jesus
wept, and He was the manliest Man that ever lived.  So it does not say, none of these things hurt me.  But the apostle had
determined not to move from what he believed was right.  He did not count as we are apt to count;  he did not care for
ease;  he did not care for this mortal life.  He cared for only one thing, and that was to be loyal to Christ, to have His smile. 
To St. Paul, more than to any other man, His work was wages, His smile as Heaven.  ---Margaret Bottome.  

Colossians Chapter Two

 1    FOR I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and for as many as have
    not seen my face in the flesh;

2    That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of
    understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;

3    In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

4    And this I say, lest any man should beguile you with enticing words.

5    For though I be absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, joying and beholding your order, and the
    stedfastness of your faith in Christ.

6    As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:

7    Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

8    Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the rudiments of the world, and not
    after Christ.

9    For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

10    And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:

11    In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of sins
    of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:

12    Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God,
    who hath raised him from the dead.

13    And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him,
    having forgiven you all trespasses;

14    Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out
    of the way, nailing it to his cross;

15    And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

16    Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, 
    or of the sabbath days:

17    Which are a shadow of things to come;  but the body is of Christ.

18    Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into
    those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

19    And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered,
    and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.

20    Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world,    
    are ye subject to ordinances,

21    (Touch not;  taste not;  handle not;

22    Which all are to perish with the using;)  after the commandments and doctrines of men?

23    Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body;  
    not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

 ROLE MODEL -  Writing's On The Wall

 Dad’s on the phone and he’s lecturing me 
‘Bout a girl that he met back when he was nineteen 
It’s never gonna work cause the puzzle won’t piece
 
Head out the window
Sweat on the pillow
It's been keeping me up at night
Guess this is what love feels like all right
 
Seems like your shoulder
Keeps getting colder
But babe I was raised in the cold
Wish I could do what I'm told
Oh, now
 
Dad’s on the phone and he’s lecturing me 
‘Bout a girl that he met back when he was nineteen
It’s never gonna work cause the puzzle won’t piece
Son of a gun but I know that he’s right 
Cause the girl that I loved never treated me nice 
Writing’s on the wall I pretend I can’t read 
You’re forgetting me
 
Losing my patience
Confusing the waitress
And asking her way too much
Like why am I still in love?
 
With somebody who leaves me
Way too easy
She said honey you’ll be alright
But she gets paid to be nice
Oh hell
 
Dad’s on the phone and he’s lecturing me 
‘Bout a girl that he met back when he was nineteen 
It’s never gonna work cause the puzzle won’t piece
 
Son of a gun but I know that he’s right 
Cause the girl that I loved never treated me nice 
Writing’s on the wall I pretend I can’t read 
You’re forgetting me
 
Ooh you’re forgetting me
Ooh you’re forgetting me
 
Dad’s on the phone and he’s lecturing me 
‘Bout a girl that he met back when he was nineteen
It’s never gonna work cause the puzzle won’t piece
Ooh you’re forgetting me
 
Son of a gun but I know that he’s right 
Cause the girl that I loved never treated me nice 
Writing’s on the wall I pretend I can’t read 
You’re forgetting me

Fivefold - Till Death (Live at Delmar Hall 3/25/2017)

Fivefold - Till Death 

Looking back upon the path and I
I can't believe my eyes
The boy that I was and the man that I've become
Breaking through some memory
I still recall the scene
From across the room like something right out of a dream
And now I sit here trying to find the
Words to show you my love
But they don't come, they just stay locked up in my head
So I will vow until the day
This body fades away
To hold you high and
I'll sing
When the winter comes
I'll scream your name
Don't be afraid of what's beneath
When the reaper calls
I'll hold you tight and I'll scream
"Don't you take her away from me
Don't you take her away"
I lived my life a vagabond
The path that I was on (the path that I was on)
Better to leave than leaving broken in the end
But like a moth into the flame
Your fire burned away (your fire burned away)
All of the fear that I held deep inside my heart
And though I lack in every way
You still decided to stay (you still decided to stay)
Dared to look inside and see me for who I am
So I will vow until the day
This body fades away
To hold you high and
I'll sing
When the winter comes
I'll scream your name
Don't be afraid of what's beneath
When the reaper calls
I'll hold you tight and I'll scream
"Don't you take her away from me
Don't you take her away"
And I'll see the face of my desire
Don't let it burn away
A small spark that grew into a fire
Don't let it burn away
When the winter comes
I'll scream your name
Don't be afraid of what's beneath
When the reaper calls
I'll hold you tight and I'll scream
"Don't you take her away from me
Don't you take her away"
And I'll see the face of my desire
Don't let it burn away
A small spark that grew into a fire
Don't let it burn away
Away

The Killers - My Own Soul's Warning

  The Killers - My Own Soul's Warning 

I tried going against my own soul’s warning
But in the end, something just didn’t feel right
Oh I tried diving even though the sky was storming
And I just wanted to get back to where you are

If you could see through the banner of the sun
Into eternity’s eyes
Like a vision reaching down to you
Would you turn away?
What if it knew you by your name?
What kind of words would cut 
Through the clutter of the whirlwinds of these days?

I tried going against my own soul’s warning
But in the end, something just didn’t feel right
Oh I tried diving, even though the sky was storming
Thunderheads were forming
But man I thought I could fly
And when I hit the ground

It made a messed up sound
And it kept on rattling through my days
And cutting up my nights
Like a g--damned knife
And it got me thinking, no matter how far
I just wanted to get back to where you are

I tried going against my own soul’s warning
But in the end, something just didn’t feel right
Oh I tried running from the memory and the mourning
But the penalty kept on pouring

And now I think I know why
Cause when I hit the ground
It made a messed up sound
And it kept on rattling through my days
And cutting up my nights
Like a g--damned knife
And it got me thinking, no matter how far
I just wanted to get back to where you are

Well I know just what you need

Put me out of my misery
I'd do it for you, would you do it for me
We will always be busy making misery

We could build a factory and make misery
We'll create the cure; we made the disease

Did you satisfy your greed, get what you need
Was it only envy, so empty

Djo - Basic Being Basic (live for Like A Version)

  Djo - Basic Being Basic

[Verse 1]
Get food, barely eat
Every bite just kept me glued to my seat
I worried, even cried
How'd it feel to take the light from my life?
Bad habit, even worse
Fifty-fifty, I’m a sucker for looks
Asked for it, here it is
A quick example 'cause you wanted the hits

[Chorus]
I think you're scared of being basic
That’s ironic 'cause it's reading like you're even more basic
It's not funny, it's so funny
'Cause you're basic
Just looking hot and keeping monotone and understated nothingness
Won’t change it
(Good luck with that, good luck with what?)
It’s not funny, but it's so funny

[Verse 2]
I don’t want your money, I don't care for fame
I don't wanna live a life where that's my big exchange
I want simple pleasures, friends who have my back
Everyone has secrets, but not everyone can fool a man like that
It sent me reeling, still not the same
It’s like my capacity to love and give has changed
I guess I'll thank you and spite your name again
The past's the past, and I'll outlast the hate to find real love that's not pretend

[Chorus]
How basic (Sell me on it)
Shuffle numbers, pointing fingers, ditching chats in different apps
That's basic (Haha)
It's not funny, it's so funny
That's just basic being basic (Basically)
You said he looked just like a girl, so you like girls
I guess I'll take it
Yeah, that's funny, you're so funny (Ha-ha-ha-ha)

[Bridge]
Change your body, change your face, curl your hair then make it straight
Take a picture of your plate, Tarantino movie taste
Rah-rah, cheugy-phobe, Vera Bradley's back in Vogue
It's a flash photograph

[Outro]
What an empty epitaph that is (That's basic)
What an empty epitaph that is (That's basic)
What an empty epitaph (That's just basic being basic)
Yeah, my tight five might get a laugh as is
If that's funny, I'm not funny

Switchfoot - Love Alone is Worth the Fight [K-LOVE] (subtitulado español) [History Maker]

Switchfoot - Love Alone is Worth the Fight 

[Verse 1]
I'm trying to find where my place is
I'm looking for my own oasis
So close I can taste this
The fear that love alone erases
So I'm back to the basics
I figure it's time I face this
Time to take my own advice
Love alone is worth the fight

[Verse 2]
And I never thought it'd come to this
But it seems like I'm finally feeling numb to this
The funny thing bout a name is
You forget what the reason you were playing the game is
And it's all an illusion
A 21st century institution
So I'm heading down the open road unknown

[Pre-Chorus]
And we find what we're made of
Through the open door
Is it fear you're afraid of?
What are you waiting for?

[Chorus]
Love alone is worth the fight
Love alone is worth the fight

[Verse 3]
We're only here for a season
I'm looking for the rhyme and reason
Why you're born why you're leaving
What you fear and what you believe in
Why you're living and breathing
Why you're fighting it and getting it even
Let's go headed down the open road unknown

[Pre-Chorus]
And we find what we're made of
Through the open door
Is it fear you're afraid of?
What are you waiting for?

[Chorus]
Love alone is worth the fight
Love alone is worth the fight

[Bridge]
Here we are here we go
Where the road is our own
Feel it calling you home
Here we are here we go

[Chorus]
Love alone is worth the fight
Love alone is worth the fight
Love alone is worth the fight
Love alone is worth the fight
Love alone is worth the fight

James Morrison - Once When I Was Little | Peace Day Live 21 September

James Morrison - Once When I Was Little 

I was the one, 
Who would always
Jump in first
Didn't think twice
To look behind
Got such a good feeling, 
Just from playing
In the dirt
Once, 
When I was little

We could build a rocket, 
Fly to the moon
Leave Tuesday morning, 
And be back for noon
There wasn't nothing, 
Nothing that we couldn't do
Once, when I was little umm
Once, when I was little

Yeah I could dream more then
Yeah I believed more then
That the world
Could only get better
Yeah I was free more then
I could pretend more then
That this life could
Only show me good times
Once, when I was little
Umm ohh lalala

There was a time
When I trusted everyone
Yes I did
There was no place
That I would not go oh no
Spend a day on the hillside
Next to the holly mo
Oh once, when I was little
Yea once, when I, I was little

Yeah I could dream more then
Yeah I believe more then
That this world
Could only get better
Yeah I was free more then
I could pretend more then
That this life could
Only show me good times
Once, when I was little

Used to feel so strong
Even when they tell me, 
Tell me I was wrong
That I can't live
In a magic world
Cause it's time
For me to grow up
That I got to be
Like the rest of them
When I know
There acting up ohh

I could believe more
Then yes I could
I could pretend more then
That this life could
Only get better
I could believe more
Then yes I could
I could pretend more then

That this world could
Only show me good times
Once, when I was little
When I was little

So here comes the next one, 
The next in line
Stay as young you can, 
For the longest time
Cause those days flew by
Like a breeze
Just passing through
Once, when I was little

The Broken View - Feel Something (acoustic)

 The Broken View - Feel Something

I find myself wrapped up in this
I covet every lie
Cause I want to feel something
I try and enforce some logic
For all these tears I've cried
But I just feel nothing

Oh, I need to let go

Don't wait up for me at all
I not coming back cause I
I wanna feel something
I'll gather my indifference
And I will bide my time
Until I feel something

Oh, I need to let go
Before I lose

With weakened and weary eyes
We can now sleep at night
You never showed but I was there
To let you know that I don't care
But fearful and fevered I'll
Wake from this dream tonight
You never showed but I was there
To let you know that I don't care

That I don't care

I want to feel something

With weakened and weary eyes
We can now sleep at night
You never showed but I was there
To let you know that I don't care
But fearful and fevered I'll
Wake from this dream tonight
You never showed but I was there
To let you know that I don't care

I want to feel something

Marco Borsato, Armin van Buuren, Davina Michelle - Hoe Het Danst

Marco Borsato, Armin van Buuren, Davina Michelle - Hoe Het Danst

English translation after official lyrics 

Sleutels vast, de deurknop heb ik in mijn hand
Maar ik twijfel of ik nog wel echt naar binnen kan
Jouw iedere beweging lijkt bij mij vandaan 
Ik heb je hart zo lang niet open meer zien staan

Wil je weten hoe het danst zonder mij?
Misschien heb je meer balans zonder mij
Als het moet zet ik een stapje opzij
Als het beter
Als dat beter is

Heeft het leven dan meer glans zonder mij
Krijgt de liefde weer een kans zonder mij
Als dat echt zo is dan laat ik je vrij
Als het beter
Als dat beter is

Wil niet zeggen dat ik jou niet mis

De voordeur die gaat open en ik sla weer dicht
Al staat wat ik wil zeggen wel op mijn gezicht
Ik kan niet met je praten dus ik hou me stil
Maar het voelt of je voor mij niet vechten wil

Wil je weten hoe het danst zonder mij?
Misschien heb je meer balans zonder mij
Als het moet zet ik een stapje opzij
Als dat beter
Als dat beter is

Heeft het leven dan meer glans zonder mij
Krijgt de liefde weer een kans zonder mij
Als dat echt zo is dan laat ik je vrij
Als het beter
Als dat beter is

Wil niet zeggen dat ik jou niet mis
Ga maar kijken hoe het danst

Ga maar kijken hoe het danst

Het is niet dat ik niet wil
Maar heel 
de weg lijk ik vergeten

Zou niet weten 
welke richting 
Welke weg nog leidt naar jou

Sleutels vast, de deurknop heb ik in mijn hand

Ik leer vast wel hoe het danst zonder jou
Ook al mis ik de balans zonder jou
Oh, ik hoop dat ik het kan zonder jou
Als het beter
Als dat beter is

Ga maar kijken hoe het danst zonder mij
Geef de liefde weer een kans zonder mij
Als het moet zet ik een stapje opzij
Als het beter
Als het beter is

Ga maar kijken hoe het danst 
Ga maar kijken hoe het danst 

Wil je weten hoe het danst zonder mij
Misschien heb je meer balans zonder mij
Als het moet zet ik een stapje opzij
Als het beter
Als dat beter is

Wil niet zeggen dat ik jou niet mis

 

 Keys in hand, I’m holding the doorknob
But I hesitate—can I really still go inside?
Every move you make seems to pull you away from me
It’s been so long since I’ve seen your heart open up

Do you want to know how it dances without me?
Maybe you’ll find more balance without me
If need be, I’ll step aside
If it’s better
If that’s better

Will life have more sparkle without me?
Will love get another chance without me?
If that’s really the case, then I’ll set you free
If it’s better
If that’s better

That doesn’t mean I don’t miss you

The front door opens, and I close it again
Even though what I want to say is written on my face
I can’t talk to you, so I stay silent
But it feels like you don’t want to fight for me

Do you want to know how it dances without me? Maybe you’ll find more balance without me
If need be, I’ll step aside
If that’s better
If that’s better

Will life shine brighter without me?
Will love get another chance without me?
If that’s really the case, then I’ll set you free
If that’s better
If that’s better

That doesn’t mean I don’t miss you
Go and see how it dances

Go and see how it dances

It’s not that I don’t want to
But I seem to have forgotten
The whole way there

I wouldn’t know
Which direction
Which path still leads to you

Keys in hand, I’m holding the doorknob

I’m sure I’ll learn how to dance without you
Even though I miss the balance without you
Oh, I hope I can manage without you
If that’s better
If that’s better

Go and see how it dances without me
Give love another chance without me
If need be, I’ll step aside
If that’s better
If that’s better

Go and see how it dances
Go and see how it dances

Do you want to know how it dances without me?
Maybe you’ll find more balance without me
If need be, I’ll step aside
If that’s better
If that’s better

That doesn’t mean I don’t miss you

Nothing But Thieves - Overcome (Vídeo Oficial + Legenda em Português / Portuguese)

Nothing But Thieves - Overcome

 I don't wanna fight
My money's in a bag in the back for you
The future's overdue
Yeah I know that

Turn the engine on
Our song blaring out a Dead radio
Singing 'I Need To Know'
No turning back

I've been thinkin' babe, maybe you're right
When you said the pain weathers in time
We're just waiting for a change to follow
We don't always get all that we want
Redefine the pain to something more
And we shall overcome as we've done before

Scrolling through a life
I barely recognised from a hotel room
Took in the lonely view
Got unattached

Bringer of the calm
Your arms wrapped around when the fever took
Thought I was gone for good
You brought me back

I've been thinkin' babe, maybe you're right
When you said the pain weathers in time
We're just waiting for a change to follow
We don't always get all that we want
Redefine the pain to something more
And we shall overcome as we've done before

It's when we lean in, into the moment
It's when we're reaching through the divide
It's when we begin feeling the open
It's when the stranger's fallen behind
When we shake off the darkness
And harness the light

I've been thinkin' babe, maybe you're right
When you said the pain weathers in time
We're just waiting for a change to follow
We don't always get all that we want
Redefine the pain to something more
And we shall overcome as we've done before
 
And we shall overcome as we've done before
And we shall overcome as we've done before

Dido - Here With Me

Dido - Here With Me 

I didn't hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
And I don't want to move a thing 
It might change my memory

Oh I am what I am 
I'll do what I want 
But I can't hide
I won't go 
I won't sleep 
I can't breathe 
Until you're resting here with me
I won't leave 
I can't hide 
I cannot be 
Until you're resting here with me

I don't want to call my friends 
They might wake me from this dream
And I can't leave this bed
Risk forgetting all that's been

Oh I am what I am 
I'll do what I want 
But I can't hide
I won't go 
I won't sleep 
I can't breathe 
Until you're resting here with me
I won't leave 
I can't hide 
I cannot be 
Until you're resting here with me

Linkin Park - Battle Symphony

Linkin Park - Battle Symphony

I got a long way to go
And a long memory
I been searching for an answer
Always just out of reach
Blood on the floor
Sirens repeat
I been searching for the courage
To face my enemies
When they turn down the lights
 
I hear my battle symphony
All the world in front of me
If my armor breaks
I’ll fuse it back together
Battle symphony
Please just don’t give up on me
And my eyes are wide awake
For my battle symphony
 
They say that I don’t belong
Say that I should retreat
That I’m marching to the rhythm
Of a lonesome defeat
But the sound of your voice
Puts the pain in reverse
No surrender, no illusions
And for better or worse
When they turn down the lights
 
I hear my battle symphony
All the world in front of me
If my armor breaks
I’ll fuse it back together
Battle symphony
Please just don’t give up on me
And my eyes are wide awake
 
If I fall, get knocked down
Pick myself up off the ground
When they turn down the lights
 
I hear my battle symphony
All the world in front of me
If my armor breaks
I’ll fuse it back together
Battle symphony
Please just don’t give up on me
And my eyes are wide awake
For my battle symphony

Anthony Vincent feat. Matthew Heafy - Welcome the End

 Anthony Vincent  feat. Matthew Heafy  - Welcome the End 

If I should die you’ll know me
Welcome the end before me

The hands can hold no time 
And the earth drinks in the wine 
Become the pain but not the lie 
A deadly disguise
Stone, void
And the joyful emptiness draws near 
Atoned for every year
A debt paid with tears
And when the fire came It burned out my insides 
Acceptance
This temple now is mine

If we’re to take the call 
Given the freedom to fight and fall 
If I should die you’ll know me 
Welcome the end before me

A flicker in the void
Though still unsure
To give into doubt is a hell I can’t endure
No fire no cure
And in the winter wind 
A voice for the the victims 
Died out
The restless betray them
          
If we’re to take the call 
Given the freedom to fight and fall
If I should die you’ll know me
Welcome the end before me
One more road, another wall 
All on the way to lose it all 
If I should die you’ll know me 
Welcome the end before me

Welcome the end before me 
The end before me

Giving way to the rays of light 
My heart split open 
Desires fade away
Like the fog of the morning 

And in the flames we claim another existence
Survival
We no longer follow

If we’re to take the call
Given the freedom to fight and fall
If I should die you’ll know me
Welcome the end before me
One more road, another wall
All on the way to lose it all
If I should die you’ll know me
Welcome the end before me

Nothing But Thieves - Stray Dogs (live at Finsbury Park)

 Nothing But Thieves - Stray Dogs 

The sky's lighter today 
And I smell you in my clothes 
'Cause I bite down when you
Come find yourself in the asphalt

I've been working on myself 
Cost of living's on the rise
One more trip around the sun
Turn my face into the light 
Summer dust still in my veins 
It keeps me warm at night
It keeps me warm at night 

Dreaming like a pack of stray

Dreaming like a pack of stray dogs
Oooh
Got hooked up on the pheromone 
Stray dogs
Oooh

Last night, Los Angeles 
Where every story's someone else's 

And we're chasing our own tails 
Put our heads down where we lay
Come and hang around in spring 
Got a shadow to erase
Got a shadow to erase

Dreaming like a pack of stray dogs
Oooh
Got hooked up on the pheromone 
Oooh
Stray dogs
Don't it make you feel
Don't it make you feel
Alive?

The sky's lighter today 
And I smell you in my clothes 

Concrete
Rhythm 
Siren
Got hooked up on the pheromone 
Backbeat
Wired
Vamos
Brighter
Dreaming
Like a 
Pack of
Stray 
Dogs

Oooh
Got hooked up on the pheromone 
Stray dogs
Oooh

Don't it make you feel
(Make you feel)
Don't it make you feel

Alive
Alive?
Don't it make you feel

Wholehearted Ness Podcast - Why Christians Are Calling Me a Heretic (They're Wrong)

  Whole-Hearted Ness Podcast

Colossians Chapter One

 
1    PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus our brother,

2    To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse:  Grace be unto you,
    and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

3    We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

4    Since we heard of your faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love which ye have to all the saints,

5    For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word
    of the truth of the gospel;

6    Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you,
    since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth:

7    As ye also learned of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ;

8    Who also declared unto us your love in the Spirit.

9    For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire
    that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding:

10    That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work,
    and increasing in the knowledge of God;

11    Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience
     and longsuffering with joyfulness;

12    Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the
    inheritance of the saints in light:

13    Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the
    kingdom of his dear Son:

14    In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

15    Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

16    For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible
    and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: 
    all things were created by him, and for him:

17    And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

18    And he is the head of the body, the church:  who is the beginning, the firstborn from the
    dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

19    For it pleased the Father that in him, should all fulness dwell;

20    And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto
    himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

21    And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, 
    yet now hath he reconciled

22    In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable
    and unreproveable in his sight:

23    If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel,
    which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; 
    whereof I Paul am made a minister;

24    Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ
    in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:

25    Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you,
    to fulfil the word of God;

26    Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:

27    To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles;
    which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

28    Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present
    every man perfect in Christ Jesus:

29    Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.

In Color - Headlights 

[Verse 1]
Yeah, you're driving with your headlights off
It's automatic, yeah, you've made some mistakes
But I don't really care at all, no
Just keep on driving 'til you make it to my place

[Chorus]
You're crying in the shower, wiping makeup off your face
It's obvious, can't promise you it's gonna be okay
You know you look so pretty when you say I'm not the one
Just turn around, keep driving with your headlights off

[Verse 2]
Now, when he looks at you, do you look away?
Now, when he's holding you and it's not the same way that I do
Same way that I do, now that we're done
Just keep on driving 'til you make it to my place

[Chorus]
You're crying in the shower, wiping makeup off your face
It's obvious, can't promise you it's gonna be okay
You know you look so pretty when you say I'm not the one
Just turn around, keep driving with your headlights off

Kensington - Sorry (live at Pinkpop 2017)

Kensington - Sorry 

Sorry for the road that I won't take
For the words that I won't say
For the love that I won't give

Sorry for the heart that I won't show
For the lengths that I won't go
For the life that you won't live

Sorry that I opened up my arms
You would never reach in time
Before they closed again

You will forget
And I won't remember it
When all I ever did was race in circles
You will forget
And all there's left will be
A faded memory
A dream you woke up from

Sorry for the oath that I won't take
For the vows that I will break
For the role that I won't play

Sorry that I'm raising up my walls
And whenever you reached over
You are thrown back to the start

You will forget
And I won't remember it
When all I ever did was race in circles
You will forget
And all there's left will be
A faded memory
A dream you woke up from

The color I would bring to ending up again
Opening darkness I wanted to hold you back from
The colour I would bring to ending up again
Opening darkness I wanted to hold you back

You will forget
And I won't remember it
When all I ever did was race in circles
You will forget
And all there's left will be
A faded memory
A dream you woke up from

 3 Doors Down - Going Down in Flames

[Verse 1]
Don't tell me what to think
'Cause I don't care this time
Don't tell me what to believe
'Cause you won't be there
To catch me when I fall
But you'll need me when I'm not here at all
Miss me when I'm gone again, yeah

I'm going down in flames
I'm falling into this again, yeah
I'm going down in flames
I'm falling into this again, oh no

[Verse 2]
Don't tell me how life is
'Cause I don't really wanna know
Don't tell me how this game ends
'Cause we'll just see how it goes
Catch me when I fall
Or you'll need me when I'm not here at all
Miss me when I'm gone again, yeah

[Chorus]
I'm going down in flames
I'm falling into this again, yeah
I'm going down in flames

All the way
All the way down here, I'm falling down again now
Now I'm falling down

3 Doors Down - She is Love (album version)

 3 Doors Down - She is Love

[Verse 1]
She walks through the city
No one recognizes her face
They don't want her pity
No one ever mentions her name
She's carried the broken
But their scars have no name in her heart
'Cause she walks in forgiveness
She'll shine like a light in the dark

[Chorus]
She is love
She is love
She is love
She is love

[Verse 2]
She'll always remember
The days when they welcomed her here
They know if they need her
She made a promise to always be here

[Chorus]
She is love
She is love
She is love
She is love

[Verse 3]
When they are weak she will always be strong
Though they don't know it they're never alone
No matter how many times they may leave
It's never hopeless cause she still believes

[Chorus]
She is love
She is love
She is love
She is love

Dean Lewis - I Am Getting Well

Dean Lewis - I Am Getting Well

The sun comes up,
but I don't feel it on my face.
The leaves start falling
but the seasons never change
and my brother says come out
but I just stay away.
And indulge in the loneliness
to avoid all the pain.

Now it's dark when it's light
and the spark in my eyes
burning low I should call up my friends.
I've been trying my best
to get our of this bed, 
but I think there's something wrong
with my head.

Oh I break everything that is good
'cause I cannot see the good inside.
And trust me if I could I would
change the chemicals inside my mind.

But it's a long long way
up that hill
past all the dead grass
and the thoughts that could kill
It's a long long way up from hell
But I, I am getting well.

My father calls me up and asks me how I am.
He says that he'll stop by
if I ever need a hand and I
take that call but I don't talk for very long
I always hang up first
and tell him please don't worry mum

'Cause it's dark when it's light
and it's hard but I'll try
to be better than I was back then.
And I'll run out of breath
'til I'm out of this mess.
God knows I'm trying my best.

Oh I break everything that is good
'cause I cannot see the good inside.
And trust me if I could I would
change the chemicals inside my mind.

But it's a long long way
up that hill
past all the dead grass
and the thoughts that could kill
It's a long long way up from hell
But I, I am getting well.

Even if I still need help,
I am getting well.
Even if it's hard to tell,
I am getting well.

[Verse 1]
Hitched a ride to the peaceful side of town
Then proceeded where thieves were no longer found

[Pre-Chorus]
Can't crash now
Well, I've been waiting for this
Won't crash now
I found some encouragement

[Chorus]
Precious declaration reads
Yours is yours and mine you leave alone now

I believe all hope is dead no longer

[Verse 2]
New meanings to the words I feed upon
Wake within my veins elements of freedom

Can't break now
Well, I've been living for this
Won't break now
I'm cleansed with hopefulness

[Chorus]
Precious declaration reads
Yours is yours and mine you leave alone now

Once I jumped thru hoops of fire
High and far as you required
I was blind but now I see
Salvation has discovered

[Chorus]
Precious declaration reads
Yours is yours and mine you leave alone now
Precious declaration says
I believe all hope is dead no longer
Precious declaration reads
Yours is yours and mine you leave alone now

I believe all hope is dead no longer

We The Kingdom - Love is Louder

 We The Kingdom - Love is Louder

I see you walking down the avenue
Washing the feet of a prostitute
I see the haters throwing hammer and nails
Don't know they're next in line
I see you coming for the hypnotized
And hypocrites with hate in their eyes
Pointing their fingers like guns of war
Who knows? What if love is kind?
Look around, feel the power
Hate is loud but love is, love is louder
Love is louder, nothing's louder than love
Love is louder, nothing's louder than love
What if what they say is true?
What if love is for me and you?
What if love took someone to bleed? Yeah
What if I can love my enemies?
Look around, feel the power
Hate is loud but love is
Love is louder
He gets us
He wants us
All of us
He gets us
He wants us
All of us
He gets us
He wants us
All of us
Look around, feel the power
Hate is loud but love is
Love is louder
Love is louder, nothing's louder than love
Love is louder, nothing's louder than love

Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness - Cecilia And The Satellite (Day in the Life Edition)

  Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness - Cecilia And The Satellite

 I locked myself in a hotel room
Then waited all night for the walls to move
I loved some girls that I barely knew
I've made some friends, and I've lost some, too
Crashed my car, I was seventeen
My mother in the seat riding next to me
The things I've learned from a broken mirror
How a face can change when a heart knows fear
For all the things my eyes have seen, the best by far is you
If I could fly, then I would know
What life looks like from up above and down below
I'd keep you safe, I'd keep you dry
Don't be afraid, Cecilia, I'm the satellite
And you're the sky
I've café crawled through Amsterdam
I've been around the world with a punk rock band
And I've seen London, and I've played Japan
I've been knocked down, I got up again
For all the places I have been, I'm no place without you
If I could fly, then I would know
What life looks like from up above and down below
I'd keep you safe, I'd keep you dry
Don't be afraid, Cecilia, I'm the satellite
And you're the sky
I'm the satellite
(Oh, oh)
And you're the sky
(Oh, oh)
For all the things my hands have held, the best by far is you
If I could fly, then I would know
What life looks like from up above and down below
I'd keep you safe, I'd keep you dry
Don't be afraid, Cecilia, I'm the satellite
And you're the sky
And you're the sky
(Oh, oh)
I'm the satellite
(Oh, oh)
And you're the sky
(Oh, oh)
And you're the sky

Mighty Oaks - The Great Northwest CARDINAL SESSIONS (Appletree Garden Special)

 Mighty Oaks - The Great Northwest  

Verse 1:
On the seaside
Oh we found our way
In the great northwest
Yeah we lost our sun in the rain
And it’s a long hard road that we must travel now
Oh it winds
I know that we shall one day move as one again in time

Chorus:
Oh my love you found me at the right time
My heart was lost to you at the first sight
Oh my love you found me at the right time
My heart is yours I ask that you be kind

Verse 2:
We drove out east to the mighty Cascade Range
Too the place where the water falls from the heights of Snowqualmie
I drove to the north and you slept quietly by my side
Down to the coast we went that night
My love I made you mine

(Chorus)
You found me at the right time
Darlin won't you be kind
You found me at the right time
Darlin won't you be kind

Malachi Chapter Four

1    FOR, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven;  and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall
    be stubble:  and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither
    root nor branch.


2    But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings;  and ye shall go
    forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

3    And ye shall tread down the wicked;  for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this,
    saith the LORD of hosts.


4    Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes
    and judgments.

5    Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD:

6    And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of the children to their fathers, lest I come
    and smite the earth with a curse.

George Ezra - Pretty Shining People

 George Ezra - Pretty Shining People

Me and Sam in the car, talking 'bout America
Heading to the wishing well, we've reached our last resort
I turned to him said: "Man help me out
I fear I'm on an island in an ocean full of change
Can't bring myself to dive in to an ocean full of change
Am I losing touch?
Am I losing touch now?"
He said: "Why why, what a terrible time to be alive
If you're prone to over thinking and
Why why, what a terrible time to be alive
If you're prone to second guessing"

Hey pretty smiling people, we're alright together
We're alright together
Hey pretty shining people, we're alright together
We're alright together, he-ey

Took it in turns to dream about the lottery
And what we might have done
If we had entered and had won
We're each convinced that nothing would have changed
But if this were the case
Why is it a conversation anyways?
Are we losing touch?
Are we losing touch now?
He said: "Why why, what a terrible time to be alive
If you're prone to over thinking and
Why why, what a terrible time to be alive
If you're prone to second guessing"

Hey pretty smiling people, we're alright together
We're alright together
Hey pretty shining people, we're alright together
We're alright together, he-ey

Don't we all need love?
The answer is easy
Don't we all need love?
The answer is easy
Don't we all need love?
The answer is easy

Hey pretty smiling people, we're alright together
We're alright together
Hey pretty shining people, we're alright together
We're alright together
Hey pretty smiling people, we're alright together
We're alright together
Hey pretty shining people, we're alright together
We're alright together, he-ey

[Verse 1: Matty Healy]
I know a place
It's somewhere I go when I need to remember your face
We get married in our heads
Something to do while we try to recall how we met

[Chorus: Matty Healy]
Do you think I have forgotten?
Do you think I have forgotten?
Do you think I have forgotten
About you?

[Verse 2: Matty Healy, Carly Holt]
You and I (Don't let go)
We're alive (Don't let go)
With nothing to do, I could lay and just look in your eyes
Wait (Don't let go)
And pretend (Don't let go, oh)
Hold on and hope that we'll find our way back in the end (In the end)

[Chorus: Matty Healy]
Do you think I havе forgotten?
Do you think I have forgotten?
Do you think I havе forgotten
About you?
Do you think I have forgotten?
Do you think I have forgotten?
Do you think I have forgotten
About you?

[Bridge: Carly Holt, Matty Healy]
And there was something about you that now I can't remember
It's the same damn thing that made my heart surrender
And I'll miss you on a train, I'll miss you in the mornin'
I never know what to think about
I think about you (Don't let go)
About you (Don't let go)

[Chorus: Matty Healy, Carly Holt]
Do you think I have forgotten
About you?
About you (Don't let go, oh)
About you
About you
Do you think I have forgotten
About you?
About you (Don't let go)

Stolen wine, grab your trench and go 

Your rolling out of bed with your strange adolescence 
It′s always got you guessing it's evident your out of it oh 
Watching all your plans go bye, watching all those people go by 

Forget about the packing just throw it all in the backseat of 
That′s all I'm asking just picture it the laughs we′d find 
Watching all the stars go by, watching this whole town go bye 

Close your eyes, we're two creatures of the night 
Stoned and wine, where′s your trench coat, you look freezing 

Close your eyes, we're two creatures of the night 
Stolen wine, grab your trench and go

Madrugada - Call My Name

 Madrugada - Call My Name

 
Come in my room tonight
Undress in the dying light
Where I have been waiting for you 
These days it’s all I ever do

(Chorus)
When you call my name
It’s gonna be my ticket
To the miracle land
When you call my name
 Stamping your initials
 Across the back of my hand
This winter has been very long
I’ve hardly ever seen anyone
But spring has come and everything’s new
 Now I have been sleeping with you

(Chorus)
When you call my name
It’s gonna be my ticket
To the miracle land
When you call my name 
Stamping your initials
Across the back of my hand 
When I lie awake
Dreams of dread and wonder
 Dance before my eyes
Was this really meant for me?
Oh, my God, what a nice surprise!
When will I see you again?
There’s a line in the palm of my hand 
That’s running deep and red as love
 You take me with you when you fall

(Chorus)
When you call my name
It’s gonna be my ticket
To the miracle land
When you call my name
Stamping your initials
Across the back of my hand
Just for once in my life
I wanna know that what I got is good enough
 Guess we all will have our time
Must be a moment when it all adds up
So, when will I see you again? 
Baby, it’s not over, it’s not over ...

Tori Amos - A Sorta Fairytale

 Tori Amos - A Sorta Fairytale

On my way up north, up on the Ventura
I pulled back the hood and I was talking to you
And I knew then it would be a life long thing
But I didn't know that we, we could break a silver lining

And I'm so sad
Like a good book I can't put this day back
A sorta fairytale with you
A sorta fairytale with you

Things you said that day up on the 101
The girl had come undone, I tried to downplay it
With a bet about us, you said that you'd take it
As long as I could, I could not erase it

And I'm so sad
Like a good book I can't put this day back
A sorta fairytale with you
A sorta fairytale with you

And I ride along side
And I rode along side you then
And I rode along side
Till you lost me there in the open road
And I rode along side
Till the honey spread itself so thin
For me to break your bread
For me to take your word
I had to steal it

And I'm so sad
Like a good book I can't put this day back
A sorta fairytale with you
A sorta fairytale with you
I could pick back up whenever I feel

Down New Mexico way
Something about the open road
I knew that he was
Looking for some Indian blood
And find a little in you
Find a little in me
We may be on this road
But we're just impostors in this country you know
So we go along and we said we'd fake it
Feel better with Oliver Stone
Till I almost smacked him
Seemed right that night
I don't know what takes hold
Out there in the desert cold
These guys think they must
Try and just get over on us

And I'm so sad
like a good book I can't put this day back
A sorta fairytale with you
A sorta fairytale with you

And I was riding by
Riding along side
For a while till you lost me
And I was riding by
Riding along till you lost me
Till you lost me in the rear view
You lost me I said

Way up north I took my day
All in all was a pretty nice day
And I put the hood right back where
You could taste heaven perfectly
Feel out the summer breeze
Didn't know when we'd be back
And I, I don't, didn't think
We'd end up like, like this

David Kushner - Electrified

David Kushner - Electrified 

Spreading like a wildfire
When you love me, you love me
Holding you is like a live wire
When you touch me, you touch me

Ooh, ooh, baby, I'm electrified
Shivers running down my spine
Ooh, ooh, baby, I'm electrified
Shivers running down my spine

Oh, oh, baby, I'm electrified
Take me to the other side
Oh, oh, baby, I'm electrified
Oh, oh, baby, I'm electrified

Your power grabs me by the throat
I lose myself in the smoke
I overdose on your chemicals
I lose control

Spreading like a wildfire
When you love me, you love me
Holding you is like a live wire
When you touch me, you touch me

Ooh, ooh, baby, I'm electrified
Shivers running down my spine
Ooh, ooh, baby, I'm electrified
Shivers running down my spine

Oh, oh, baby, I'm electrified
Take me to the other side
Oh, oh, baby, I'm electrified
Oh, oh, baby, I'm electrified

You are the one that saves me
I'd take a bullet, baby
Whenever our eyes meet
There's lightning inside me

Ooh, ooh, baby, I'm electrified
Shivers running down my spine
Ooh, ooh, baby, I'm electrified
Shivers running down my spine

Oh, oh, baby, I'm electrified
Take me to the other side
Oh, oh, baby, I'm electrified
Oh, oh, baby, I'm electrified

 Stephen Wilson Jr. - Hang in There

It’s coming up on two years
It’s not right he’s not here
In the passenger seat saying, “boy would ya go a little slower?”
“You’re worrisome son, make your old man look a little older”

I got a few of his things
That beach necklace he bought in Jamaica one Spring
It’s means the world to me, to most it ain’t worth nothin’
I wouldn’t take a million bucks for it, for it’s the one thing

I had to hang in there
Swingin’ from my rearview mirror
So I can always take him driving with me
It’s how he stays with me along with a legacy
And an empty page to write a better ending
It’s more than beaded jewelry, it’s more like a prayer reminding me to
Hang in there
Hang in there

It gives me the pep talk I need
It can turn into fuel when I’m on E
Call it a priceless keepsake, call it precious
Yeah It’s keeping him around me like a necklace

I had to hang in there
Swingin’ from my rear-view mirror
So I can always take him driving with me
It’s how he stays with me along with a legacy
And an empty page to write a better ending
It’s more than beaded jewelry, it’s more like a prayer reminding me to hang in there
It’s more than beaded jewelry, it’s more like a prayer reminding me to hang in there
Hang in there…
Hang in there…

Tell me
Just what you want me to be
One kiss and boom you're the only one for me
So please tell me
Why don't you come around no more?
'Cause right now I'm cryin'
Outside the door of your candy store

It started with a kiss now we're up to bath
A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain
I'm tellin' you, my babe, it's all in the game of love
Whatever you make it to be
Sunshine set on this cold, lonely sea
So please baby
Try and use me for what I'm good for
It ain't sayin' good-bye

It just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that
It started with a kiss now we're up to bath
A little bit of laughs, a little bit of pain
I'm tellin' ya babe it's all in the game of love
It's all in this game of love
You roll me, control me, console me
Please hold me!
You guide me, divide me into
So please tell me
Why don't you come around no more?
Cause right now I'm dying
Outside the door of your lovin' store
It just takes a little bit of this, a little bit of that
It started with a kiss now we're up to bath

Of Monsters and Men - Little Talks - live at Reading Festival 2012

 Of Monsters and Men - Little Talks 

[Refrain: Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir, Ragnar Þórhallsson]
Hey! Hey! Hey!

[Verse 1: Nanna, Ragnar & Both]
I don't like walking around this old and empty house
So hold my hand, I'll walk with you my dear
The stairs creak as you sleep; it's keeping me awake
It's the house telling you to close your eyes
Some days I can't even dress myself
It's killing me to see you this way
'Cause though the truth may vary, this ship will carry our
Bodies safe to shore

[Refrain: Nanna, Ragnar]
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!

[Verse 2: Nanna, Ragnar & Both]
There's an old voice in my head that's holding me back
Well, tell her that I miss our little talks
Soon it will be over and buried with our past
We used to play outside when we were young, and full of life and full of love
Some days, I don't know if I am wrong or right
Your mind is playing tricks on you, my dear
'Cause though the truth may vary, this ship will carry our
Bodies safe to shore

[Chorus: Nanna, Ragnar]
Hey! Don't listen to a word I say
Hey! The screams all sound the same
Hey! Though the truth may vary, this ship will carry our
Bodies safe to shore

[Refrain: Nanna, Ragnar]
Hey!
Hey!
Hey!

[Bridge: Nanna, Ragnar]
You're gone, gone, gone away; I watched you disappear
All that's left is a ghost of you
Now we're torn, torn, torn apart; there's nothing we can do
Just let me go, we'll meet again soon
Now wait, wait, wait for me; please hang around
I'll see you when I fall asleep

[Chorus: Nanna, Ragnar]
Hey! Don't listen to a word I say
Hey! The screams all sound the same
Hey! Though the truth may vary, this ship will carry our
Bodies safe to shore

[Chorus: Nanna, Ragnar]
Hey! Don't listen to a word I say
Hey! The screams all sound the same
Hey! Though the truth may vary, this ship will carry our
Bodies safe to shore

[Outro: Nanna, Ragnar]
Though the truth may vary, this ship will carry our
Bodies safe to shore

Collective Soul - The World I Know - Live at Paste Studios, NYC

  Collective Soul - The World I Know

Has our conscience shown?
Has the sweet breeze blown?
Has all kindness gone?
Hope still lingers on
I drink myself of new-found pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why
Are we listening?
Hymns of offering
Have we eyes to see?
Love is gathering
All the words that I've been reading
Have now started the act of bleeding
Into one, into one
So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I've known
It's the world I have known
I drink myself of new-found pity
Sitting alone in New York City
And I don't know why
Don't know why
So I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I've known
It's the world I have known
Yeah, I walk up on high
And I step to the edge
To see my world below
And I laugh at myself
While the tears roll down
'Cause it's the world I've known
It's the world I have known

Do-do-do, doot, doot, do-doot, doot-doot, do, doot, do-doot, do-do-do

[Verse 1]
In these lazy days
I barely see myself through
I lay here comfortable
My thoughts wrapped around you

[Pre-Chorus]
I've got a lot on my mind
It's always you every time

[Chorus]
You're all that I know
When the sun goes down
You're all that I know
When the sun comes
Rising like the devil in me
And when tomorrow wakes
It's sure to show
You're all that I know

[Verse 2]
These quiet nights
They nurture me to a bore
The only strength I find
Is when I'm wanting you more

[Pre-Chorus]
I've had a lot on my mind
It still was you every time

[Chorus]
You're all that I know
When the sun goes down
You're all that I know
When the sun comes
Rising like the devil in me
And when tomorrow wakes
It's sure to show

[Chorus]
You're all that I know
When the sun goes down
You're all that I know
When the sun comes
Rising like the devil in me
And when tomorrow wakes
It's sure to show
You're all that I know

Malachi Chapter Three

1    BEHOLD, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me:  and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall
    suddenly come to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in:  behold, he shall come, 
    saith the LORD of hosts.

2    But who may abide the day of his coming?  and who shall stand when he appeareth?  for he is like a refiner's fire,
    like fuller's soap:

3    And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver:  and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold
    and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness.

4    Then shall the offering of Judah and Jerusalem be pleasant unto the LORD, as in the days of old, and as in
    former years.

5    And I will come near to you to judgment;  and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the 
    adulterers, and against false swearers, and against those that oppress the hireling in his wages, the widow, 
    and the fatherless, and that turn aside the stranger from his right, and fear not me, saith the LORD of hosts.

6    For I am the LORD, I change not;  therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.


7    Even from the days of your fathers ye are gone away from mine ordinances, and have not kept them.  Return unto
    me, and I will return unto you, saith the LORD of hosts.  But ye said, Wherein shall we return?  


8    Will a man rob God?  Yet ye have robbed me.  But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee?  In tithes and offerings.

9    Ye are cursed with a curse:  for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.

10    Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith,
    saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there
    shall not be room enough to receive it.

11    And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground;  neither shall
    your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.

12    And all nations shall call you blessed:  for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.


13    Your words have been stout against me, saith the LORD, Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?

14    Ye have said, It is vain to serve God:  and what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance, and that we have walked
    mournfully before the LORD of hosts?

15    And now we call the proud happy;  yea, they that work wickedness are set up;  yea, they that tempt God are
    even delivered.

16    Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another:  and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a 
    book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.

17    And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels;  and I will spare them,
    as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.

18    Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him that serveth God and him
    that serveth him not.

Three Days Grace - Never Too Late

 Three Days Grace - Never Too Late

[Verse 1]
This world will never be what I expected
And if I don't belong, who would have guessed it?

[Pre-Chorus]
I will not leave alone everything that I own
To make you feel like it's not too late
It's never too late

[Chorus]
Even if I say it'll be alright
Still, I hear you say you want to end your life
Now and again we try to just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around 'cause it's not too late
It's never too late

[Verse 2]
No one will ever see the side reflected
And if there's something wrong, who would have guessed it?

[Pre-Chorus]
And I have left alone everything that I own
To make you feel like it's not too late
It's never too late

[Chorus]
Even if I say it'll be alright
Still I hear you say you want to end your life
Now and again we try to just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around 'cause it's not too late
It's never too late

[Bridge]
The world we knew won't come back
The time we've lost, can't get it back
The life we had won't be ours again

[Verse 1]
This world will never be what I expected
And if I don't belong…

[Chorus]
Even if I say it'll be alright
Still I hear you say you want to end your life
Now and again we try to just stay alive
Maybe we'll turn it all around 'cause it's not too late
It's never too late
Maybe we'll turn it all around 'cause it's not too late
It's never too late (It's never too late)
It's not too late, it's never too late

Tori Amos - Crucify

Tori Amos - Crucify 

Every finger in the room
Is pointing at me
I wanna spit in their faces
Then I get afraid of what that could bring
I got a bowling ball in my stomach
I got a desert in my mouth
Figures that my courage would choose to sell our now
I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Just what God needs
One more victim

Why do we
Crucify ourselves
Every day
I crucify myself
Nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
Every day
And my heart is sick of being in chains

Got a kick for a dog
Beggin' for Love
I gotta have my suffering
So that I can have my cross
I know a cat named Easter
He says will you ever learn
You're just an empty cage girl
If you kill the bird
I've been looking for a savior in these dirty streets
Looking for a savior beneath these dirty sheets
I've been raising up my hands
Drive another nail in
Got enough guilt to start
My own religion
Please be
Save me
I cry

Why do we
Crucify ourselves
Every day
I crucify myself
Nothing I do is good enough for you
Crucify myself
Every day
And my heart is sick of being in chains

 Dexter and The Moonrocks - If You Could Talk

Tell me, are you not alright
All you do is cry
Ever since I left
I’m sorry, I hate it when I work
I swear the Heavens and the Earth stand still
For you
So this is hello from Detroit
Soon I'm heading to Boston
All this is to you is noise
I don't even see you that often
Oooh, oooh
Sorry, I gotta pay the bills
Keepin’ lights on makin’ meals
Just to make it through
You tell me
You hate that damn suitcase
Why can't you ever stay in place
Feels like you're running away
So this is hello from home
Isn't this what you wanted
I guess I'll see you over the phone
I don't even see you that often
If you could talk would you say
Thank you for all of my problems
Feels like they're never goin’ away
Lookin’ forward to when you're calling
Another hello from Detroit
Soon you're headed to Boston
All this is to me is noise
You don't even see me that often
Oooh, oooh
Oooh, oooh
Oooh

Voice of Baceprot - What's the Holy (Nobel) Today?

VOB - What's the Holy (Nobel) Today?

The world sets back to the dark,
The soldier shoot their guns to the weak people and turn off the right to love
And rulers claim they’re God ready to take the power back
To destroy anyone
To clean some ethic
To create uniformity
And to throw some religion

Can’t run, then die, die, die

Stop war! We hate war!
Stop war! We hate war!
Stop war! We hate war!

Woman and child just cry
Can’t leave from fire of war
Woman and child just cry

Woman and child just cry

Can’t run, then die, die, die
Woman and child just cry
Can’t leave from fire of war

Kensington - When It All Falls Down

 Kensington - When It All Falls Down

Home, the cornerstone
Where everything we know
is anything we hold
Safe to say some seeds won't grow
When every single sorrow
Is everything we pour

We are the ones holding fear in our lives
The weight of the world will be gone when it all falls down

Hold an honest goal
For everything you'll borrow
Is everything you'll owe
All and all, were heading for
Scenes that deceive us for

We are the ones holding fear in our lives
The weight of the world will be gone when it all falls down
We are the ones holding fear in our lives
The weight of the world will be gone when it all falls down
It all falls down
We are the ones holding fear in our lives
The weight of the world will be gone when it all falls down

Been running too long 
Trying to catch my breath 
There's a war up against 
My heart and head
And there ain't always 
Blood in a fight
But you bring me back to the light 
But you bring me back to the light

Oh why, oh why
Am I standing on the edge of my Darkerside 
Oh I, oh I
I know it's so wrong but it feels so right
Oh my, oh my
There's so many things I'm tempted by
But you bring me back to the light
Oh my

I'm spiraling down and out of control 
There's a war no one sees inside my soul 
The Lord exposes the deepest lies
And you bring me back to the light 
Yeah you bring me back to the light

Oh why, oh why
Am I standing on the edge of my Darkerside 
Oh I, oh I
I know it's so wrong but it feels so right
Oh my, oh my
There's so many things I'm tempted by
But you bring me back to the light
Yeah you bring me back to the light
But you bring me back to the light 
Oh my

3 Doors Down - In the Dark

3 Doors Down - In the Dark 

Whenever the lights go down
That's when she comes alive (Ooh ooh)
Maybe it's just something that you can only see in the light (Ooh ooh)
A pretty little vixen dancing out on the scene
But the lights are shining, so she's keeping it clean
Don't get too close
Boy, don't touch her skin
Or you'll never feel the same way again
If everything you see is what you're believing
Then she'll be holding your heart
And by the time the sun goes down
You won't know who you are
She likes to do it in the dark
She likes to do it in the dark, oh
Whenever the darkness comes, she'll have you right where she wants (Ooh ooh)
Just when you think it's all over
It's where it all starts
It sounds like an angel is calling my name
It might be the devil, but they all sound the same
And all her moves won't let you get away
She's gonna make your mind come with you to stay
If everything you see is what you're believing
Then she'll be holding your heart
And by the time the sun goes down
You won't know who you are
She likes to do it in the dark
She likes to do it in the dark, oh
She likes to do it in the dark
Oh oh, oh oh
Ooh ooh ooh
If everything you see is what you're believing
Then she'll be holding your heart
And by the time the sun goes down
You won't know who you are
She is gonna make you think you were leading
But she had you from the start
And by the time the sun goes down
You won't know who you are
She likes to do it in the dark
She likes to do it in the dark
She likes to do it in the dark (Oh oh, oh oh)
She likes to do it in the dark

3 Doors Down - Life of My Own (live at The Mann Center 2021)

 3 Doors Down - Life of My Own

Living risky,
never scared, wander
Closer to the edge
Nothing valued think no fear,
Always wondering why you're here
All your purposes are gone, nothing's
Right and nothing's wrong
Nothing ventured, nothing gained
Feel no sorrow, feel no pain
Kiss me while I'm still alive
Kill me while I kiss the sky
Let me die on my own terms,
Let me live and let me learn
Now I'll follow my own way, and I'll
Live on to another damn day
Freedom carries sacrifice,
Remember when this was my life
Looking forward, not behind
Everybody's got to cross that line
Free me now to give me a place,
Keep me caged and free the beast
Falling faster, time goes by,
Fear is not seen through these eyes
What there was will never be,
Now I'm blind and cannot see
Kiss me while I'm still alive
Kill me while I kiss the sky
Let me die on my own terms, let me
Live and let me learn
Now I'll follow my own way, and I'll
Live on to another damn day
Freedom carries sacrifice,
Remember when this was my life
Kiss me while I'm still alive
Kill me while I kiss the sky
Let me die on my own terms, let me
Live and let me learn
Now I'll follow my own way,
And I'll live on to another damn day
Freedom carries sacrifice,
Remember when this was my life.

Brandon Flowers - Paradise (live from Historic RCA Studio A)

 Brandon Flowers - Paradise

They cut all the shifts right before the summer
Then the bastards forced me on to swing
I’m parking some white sedan
While the owner tries his hand rolling dice
It’s just another day in Paradise

I don’t pull ‘em ‘round as quickly as I used to
This chasing flashy cars is a young man’s game

If I don’t keep up the pace somebody’s son will take my place in the picture frame
And Paradise will go on just the same

So it’s just another day in Paradise
Another raindrop in the sea
Count the hours to quitting time
Trying to cross a silver line that always leans
Just beyond the shadows of my dreams

I cared for my old man right until the bell rang
He never really cared for me
He left us for another life
And when he called he always made it sound so nice
Sounded like it might be Paradise

I’ve done the things that drive a man into the bottle
I lost the angel on my shoulder at twelve years old
I ain’t no choir boy
But when the sun comes up tomorrow
I’ll be singing a tale well told
Since the dawn of silver and gold

It’s just another day in Paradise
Another raindrop in the sea
Count the hours to quitting time
Trying to cross the silver line
That always leans just beyond my dreams

It’s just another day in Paradise
Another diehard on the team
Count the hours till quitting time
Trying to cross the silver line
Oh how it gleams
It always leans just beyond the shadows of my dreams 

The VANNS - Making It Out Alive

 The VANNS - Making It Out Alive 

[Verse 1]
Was waiting on you to bring it on home
A terrible truth, tip of your tongue
Caught in a haze, crawlin' outside
And it's hazier than your drunken eyes
Meet me out front, take me out back
Don't be so blunt and treat me like that
Did something go wrong? Something ain't right
Go on, tell me all the things you'd like

[Chorus]
Saramona leads the night
Tell my former
Self that it's gonna be alright
'Cause one of these nights, we'll be makin' it out alive

[Post-Chorus]
Lover, it's not tonight
Making it out alive
I'm searchin' for something that I can't find
'Cause one of thеse nights, getting out the othеr side

[Verse 2]
Hearin' you out, I've heard of that song, yeah
'Cause maybe our youth has come and gone
'Cause we could be rude, ah, hell, don't you know
When our backs are up against the wall

[Chorus]
Saramona leads the night
Tell my former
Self that it's gonna be alright
'Cause one of these nights, we'll be makin' it out alive

[Post-Chorus]
Honey, it's not tonight
We'll be making it out alive
So though we're stuck in the middle of a mundane life
You and I are getting out the other side

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Outro]
Making it out alive (Saramona leads the night)
Lover, it's not tonight (Tell my former)
Making it out alive (Saramona leads the night)
Lover, it's not tonight (Tell my former)
Making it out alive
