1 MASTERS, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven.
2 Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;
3 Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ,
for which I am also in bonds:
4 That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.
5 Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.
6 Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
7 All my state shall Tychicus delcare unto you, who is a beloved brother, and a faithful minister and fellowservant
in the Lord:
8 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that he might know your estate, and comfort your hearts;
9 With Onesimus, a faithful and beloved brother, who is one of you. They shall make known unto you all things
which are done here.
10 Aristarchus my fellowprisoner saluteth you, and Marcus, sister's son to Barnabas, (touching whom ye received
commandments: if he come unto you, receive him;)
11 And Jesus, which is called Justus, who are of the circumcision. These only are my fellowworkers unto the kingdom
of God, which have been a comfort unto me.
12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers,
that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
13 For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.
14 Luke, the beloved physician, and Demas, greet you.
15 Salute the brethren which are in Laodicea, and Nymphas, and the church which is in his house.
16 And when this epistle is read among you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans;
and that ye likewise read the epistle from Laodicea
17 And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.
18 The salutation by the hand of me Paul. Remember my bonds. Grace be with you. Amen.

Hozier - Arsonist's Lullaby (live in Chicago 9-21-18)
When I was a child, I heard voices
Some would sing and some would scream
You'll soon find you have few choices
I learned the voices died with me
When I was a child I'd sit for hours
Staring into open flames
Something in it had a power
Could barely tear my eyes away
All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever tame your demons
But always keep them on a leash
When I was 16 my senses fooled me
Thought gasoline was on my clothes
I knew that something would always rule me
I knew this scent was mine alone
All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever tame your demons
But always keep them on a leash
When I was a man I thought it ended
When I knew love's perfect ache
But my peace has always depended
On all the ashes in my wake
All you have is your fire
And the place you need to reach
Don't you ever tame your demons
But always keep them on a leash
Civil Twilight - Letters From The Sky
Civil Twilight - Letters From The Sky
One of these days the sky's gonna break
And everything will escape and I'll know
One of these days the mountains
Are gonna fall into the sea and they'll know
That you and I were made for this
I was made to taste your kiss
We were made to never fall away
Never fall away
One of these days letters are gonna fall
From the sky telling us all to go free
But until that day I'll find a way
To let everybody know that you're coming back
You're coming back for me
'Cause even though you left me here
I have nothing left to fear
These are only walls that hold me here
Hold me here, hold me here, hold me here
Only walls that hold me here
Switchfoot - Natural Causes (Live)
When everything fell to pieces
I was looking to find a reason for the pain
And you said, “Everything has a season
Why does it have to have a meaning anyway?”
But I still can’t accept that we
Were meant to fall away
Fade away
All my days turn back to night
Dust to dust
But I don’t want our love to die
Of natural causes
Oh honey, we’ve spent all our lives
Bracing for one more quake on the fault-line
Oh lately, feels like I’ve gone blind
Waiting to hear your voice on the phone line
Fade away
Nothing that I trust survives
Dust to dust
But I don’t want our love die
Of natural causes
On and on the future’s calling
On and on the rain keeps falling
Of natural causes
And she said, “Everybody falls apart
Life is what we leave behind”
And she said, “Everybody falls apart
It’s just nature's laws”
Maybe only love survives
These natural causes
Fade away
Nothing that I hold is mine
From dust to dust
Love and only love survives
These natural causes
Måneskin "Torna a casa" versione live
English translation following
[Strofa 1]
Cammino per la mia città ed il vento soffia forte
Mi son lasciato tutto indietro e il Sole all'orizzonte
Vedo le case da lontano, hanno chiuso le porte
Ma per fortuna ho la sua mano e le sue guance rosse
Lei mi ha raccolto da per terra coperto di spine
Coi morsi di mille serpenti, fermo per le spire
Non ha ascoltato quei bastardi e il loro maledire
Con uno sguardo mi ha convinto a prendere e partire
Che questo è un viaggio che nessuno prima d'ora ha fatto
Alice, le sue meraviglie e il Cappellaio Matto
Cammineremo per 'sta strada e non sarò mai stanco
Fino a che il tempo porterà sui tuoi capelli il bianco
Che mi è rimasto un foglio in mano e mezza sigaretta
Restiamo un po' di tempo ancora, tanto non c'è fretta
Che c'ho una frase scritta in testa, ma non l'ho mai detta
Perché la vita senza te non può essere perfetta
[Ritornello]
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che il freddo qua si fa sentire
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che non voglio più aspettare
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che il freddo qua si fa sentire
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che ho paura di sparire
[Strofa 2]
E il cielo piano piano qua diventa trasparente
Il Sole illumina le debolezze della gente
Una lacrima salata bagna la mia guancia mentre
Lei con la mano mi accarezza in viso dolcemente
Col sangue sulle mani scalerò tutte le vette
Voglio arrivare dove l'occhio umano si interrompe
Per imparare a perdonare tutte le mie colpe
Perché anche gli angeli a volte han paura della morte
Che mi è rimasto un foglio in mano e mezza sigaretta
Corriamo via da chi c'ha troppa sete di vendetta
Da questa Terra ferma perché ormai la sento stretta
Ieri ero quiete perché oggi sarò la tempesta
[Ritornello]
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che il freddo qua si fa sentire
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che non voglio più aspettare
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che il freddo qua si fa sentire
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che non voglio più...
[Bridge]
Prima di te ero solo un pazzo, ora lascia che ti racconti:
Avevo una giacca sgualcita e portavo tagli sui polsi
Oggi mi sento benedetto e non trovo niente da aggiungere
Questa città si affaccerà quando ci vedrà giungere
Ero in bilico tra l'essere vittima e essere giudice
Era un brivido che porta la luce dentro le tenebre
E ti libera da queste catene splendenti, lucide
Ed il dubbio mio, se fossero morti oppure rinascite
[Ritornello]
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che il freddo qua si fa sentire
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che non voglio più aspettare
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che il freddo qua si fa sentire
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che non voglio più sparire
[Outro]
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che il freddo qua si fa sentire
Quindi Marlena torna a casa
Che ho paura di sparire
[Verse 1]
I walk through my city and the wind blows hard
I’ve left everything behind, the sun on the horizon
I see the houses in the distance; their doors are shut
But luckily, I hold her hand and see her flushed cheeks
She picked me up off the ground, covered in thorns
Bitten by a thousand snakes, held fast in their coils
She didn't listen to those bastards and their curses
With just one look, she convinced me to pack up and leave
On a journey no one has ever taken before
Like Alice, her wonders, and the Mad Hatter
We’ll walk this road, and I’ll never grow tired
Until time turns your hair to white
I’m left with a sheet of paper and half a cigarette
Let’s stay a while longer; there’s no rush, after all
I have a phrase in my head, but I’ve never said it
Because life without you can’t be perfect
[Chorus]
So Marlena, come home
The cold is biting here
So Marlena, come home
I don’t want to wait anymore
So Marlena, come home
The cold is biting here
So Marlena, come home
I’m afraid I’ll disappear
[Verse 2]
And slowly, the sky here turns transparent
The sun illuminates people's weaknesses
A salty tear wets my cheek while
She gently caresses my face with her hand
With blood on my hands, I’ll scale every peak
I want to reach the place where the human eye can see no further
To learn to forgive all my own faults
Because even angels are sometimes afraid of death
I’m left with a sheet of paper and half a cigarette
Let’s run away from those thirsty for revenge
Away from this solid ground—it feels too small for me now
Yesterday I was stillness, because today I’ll be the... Storm
[Chorus]
So Marlena, come home
Because the cold is biting here
So Marlena, come home
Because I don't want to wait anymore
So Marlena, come home
Because the cold is biting here
So Marlena, come home
Because I don't want to...
[Bridge]
Before you, I was just a madman; now let me tell you:
I had a worn-out jacket and cuts on my wrists
Today I feel blessed, and there’s nothing left to add
This city will look our way when it sees us arrive
I was teetering between being a victim and being a judge
It was a shiver bringing light into the darkness
And freeing you from these shining, polished chains
And my doubt—whether they were deaths or rebirths
[Chorus]
So Marlena, come home
Because the cold is biting here
So Marlena, come home
Because I don't want to wait anymore
So Marlena, come home
Because the cold is biting here
So Marlena, come home
Because I don't want to disappear anymore
[Outro]
So Marlena, come home
Because the cold is biting here
So Marlena, come home
Because I'm afraid of disappearing

transcript:
I hear thousands of voices talking, [Sento mille voci che parlano,] But I don't hear what they say. [Ma non sento che dicono.] I look myself in the mirror and I imagine That I'm in a circus, [Mi guardo allo specchio ed immagino Di essere al circo]
On a caroussel of happiness, And I don't want to get off [Su una giostra di felicità, E non voglio andare giù] Although I'm not having fun anymore. [Anche se non mi diverto più.]
Sometimes I feel like a miracle, And sometimes ridiculous. [A volte mi sento un miracolo, E a volte ridicolo.] Then I lose my mind in a moment, [Poi perdo la testa in un attimo,]
But don't tell anyone, I'm completely mad, [Ma non ditelo in giro, son fuori di me,]
I'm completely mad. [Son fuori di me.]
So go ahead, take me, bite me, take everything away from me, I'll keep not being afraid of the dark. [E quindi prendimi, mordimi, toglimi tutto, Continuerò a non avere la paura del buio.] And even when I'm on the ground, destroyed, I'll keep not being afraid of the dark.

So go ahead, spit on me, tear my clothes off, I'll keep not being afraid of the dark. [E quindi sputami, strappami i vestititi di dosso, Continuerò a non avere la paura del buio.]
So go ahead, buy me, sell me, do anything you want to me, It's gonna be only you who's afraid of the dark, not we. [E quindi comprami, vendimi, fammi di tutto, Sei soltanto tu ad avere la paura del buio, noi no.]
Not we, not I, I... [Noi no, io no, io...] I've been preparing my waltz with the devil Since I was little. [Preparo il mio valzer col diavolo Da quando son piccolo.]
You can call me a fool, a bastard, insane, I'll make a toast to that with wine. [Puoi darmi del pazzo, bastardo, malato, Io ci brinderò sopra col vino] Yes, I'll make a toast to you. [Sì, brinderò te.]
Yes, I'll make a toast to you, 'cause I know that even though you hated me, You'll end up singing my name. [Sì, brinderò te perché so che anche se mi hai odiato, Canterai il mio nome.]
So go ahead, take me, bite me, take everything away from me, I'll keep not being afraid of the dark. [E quindi prendimi, mordimi, toglimi tutto, Continuerò a non avere la paura del buio.] And even when I'm on the ground, destroyed, I'll keep not being afraid of the dark.

Not we. [Noi no.] You'll come back to me looking tired, [Tu tornerai da me con l'aria stanca,]
You'll have cuts on your wrists. [Porterai dei tagli sulle braccia.] You were left alone on the ship, [Sei rimasta sola sulla barca,]
I recognize the signs on your face. [Riconosco i segni sulla faccia.] You'll come back [Tu tornerai ]
To me with your hands clasped. [Da me con le mani giunte.] You'll come back [Tornerai]
To me.. [Da me...] You'll come back [Tornerai]
To me with your hands clasped. [Da me con le mani giunte.] You'll come back [Tornerai]

To me with your hands clasped. [Da me con le mani guinte.]
You'll come back [Tornerai] To me... [Da me...]

Staind - Outside
Staind - Outside
And you
Can bring me to my knees
Again
All the times
That I could beg you please
In vain
All the times
That I felt insecure
For you
And I leave
My burdens at the door
But I'm on the outside
I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you
All the times
That I felt like this won't end
It's for you
And I taste
What I could never have
It was from you
All the times
That I've cried
My intentions
Full of pride
But I waste
More time than anyone
But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you
All the times
That I've cried
All this wasted
It's all inside
And I feel
All this pain
Stuffed it down
It's back again
And I lie
Here in bed
All alone
I can't mend
But I feel
Tomorrow will be OK
But I'm on the outside
And I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you
Colossians Chapter Three
1 IF ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
2 Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
3 For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
4 When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.
5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection,
evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6 For which things' sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
7 In the which ye also walked some time, when ye lived in them.
8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
9 Lie not one to another, seeing that ye have put off the old man with his deeds;
10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of him that created him:
11 Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free:
but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind,
meekness, longsuffering;
13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ
forgave you, so also do ye.
14 And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness.
15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.
16 Let the word of Christ, dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms
and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father
by him.
18 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.
19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them.
20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
21 Fathers, provoke not your children to anger, lest they be discouraged.
22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice; as menpleasers; but in
singleness of heart, fearing God:
23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
24 Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
25 But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.

Brandi Carlile - The Story (on Later... with Jools Holland, 2008)
Brandi Carlile - The Story
All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to
It's true... I was made for you
I climbed across the mountain tops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby I broke them all for you
Because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
You do and I was made for you
Pierce The Veil - Today I Saw the Whole World
Pierce The Veil - Today I Saw The Whole World
Baby, pour over
Tell me, are we concrete?
What would you do without my perfect company to your undressed spine?
And I can hear you drag behind my car by your broken legs
Swallowing stitches in her sleep
As she stole my only view, may I never blink
While you stood over the pavement
I was biting the curb
Cheap entertainment
But I'll bet it feels good coming down
Can't bear to wash out the wasted time
Between your lips and mine
Zero friends
Followed your voice into a sea of crosses
She blends in with the foxes gold and feels like home
Under the surface my love
But beware, beware, beware
And take it slow tonight
We're on the other side of the road
I think we're bleeding out
While you stood over the pavement
I was biting the curb
Sick entertainment
But I'll bet it feels good coming down
Can't bear to wash out the wasted time
Between our lips
So c'mon and swing it back and forth just like
My heart is on a pendulum tonight
If your lungs are mine
I only wanna watch your clouds linger in the darkness
Oh, can't you feel it
You're feeding on my restless soul
Oh, can't you see that
It's never enough, it's never enough
Today I saw the whole world
And I think heaven has a plot to take my life
Listen, I'm the one who made you
I'll be the one who brings you down
But this will be the last time
Bite on the curb
Sick entertainment
Oh, I'll bet it feels good when you're coming down
Can't bear to wash out the wasted time
Between our lips
So c'mon and swing it back and forth just like
My heart is on a pendulum tonight
If your lungs are mine
I only wanna watch your clouds linger in the darkness
Fivefold - Liar
Lighter look, better now
Reaching for a crown
Seen the world through the eyes of a monster
And you're a liar
Your soul on fire
(Tear off the mask now)
Tear off the mask now
We've seen behind and watch you die
You're foolin' no one
You self-proclaimed king
Of nothing
You're nothing
We've been waiting all our lives just to feel alive
And you cannot take it away
'Cause you've been hiding
You've been denying
Piece by piece and brick by brick
We've been building up the bridge
That will guide us all again
'Cause you're a liar
Your soul on fire
(Tear off the mask now)
Tear off the mask now
We've seen behind and watch you die
You're foolin' no one
You self-proclaimed king
Of nothing
You're nothing
When will the fighting end?
When will we make amends?
When will we wake up again
And take back what is ours?
Tear off the mask now
We've seen behind and watch you die
You're foolin' no one
You self-proclaimed king
Of nothing
Tear off the mask now
We've seen behind and watch you die
You're foolin' no one
You self-proclaimed king
You're nothing
Atlas Genius - Trojans (live at Guitar Center Sessions)
Take it off
Take it in
Take off all the thoughts of what we've been
Take a look
Hesitate
Take a picture you could never recreate
Write a song
make a note
for the lump that sits inside your throat
Change the locks, change the scene
Change it all but can't change what we've been
Your trojan's in my head
It's ok if it's gone
The thoughts that you had that it was the one
And oh what is left?
For all those times is that what you get?
Oh regardless
The walls get painted anyway
Oh you're guarding
The gates, but it all got away
Your trojan's in my head
Take it off
Take it in
Take off all the thoughts of what we've been
Take a look
Hesitate
Take a picture you could never recreate
Write a song
make a note
for the lump that sits inside your throat
Change the locks, change the scene
Change it all but can't change what we've been
Old Sea Brigade - Day by Day
Old Sea Brigade - Day by Day
Time and time again I think I’m falling through space and I wake up in my bed just sweating in sheets
Remembering my name but it don’t sound the same
Daylight come and save me from the 2am creeps
And I think of you growing old and it breaks my heart
And I think of you growing old and it breaks my heart
Hold me up again or I can count on the wall
Just a temporary panic that I can’t seem to beat
Stranger in the mirror his smile makes me shiver
He wears my features and grinds my teeth
And I think of you growing old and it breaks my heart
And I think of you growing old
Darkness it comes and puts me in place
I’m a prisoner babe you know I can’t escape
Take all you want take all you can take
But the shadow of age is every step of the way
And it’s day by day it’s all I can take of it
And it’s day by day its all I can chase
Time and time again I think I’ve pulled it together but something’s so familiar that’s unraveling me
I’ll forget my name every evenings the same
Frozen on my back just praying for sleep
And I think of you growing old and it breaks my heart
And I think of you growing old and it breaks my heart
And I think of you as the night grows cold and it breaks my heart
And I think of you growing old
Villain of the Story - Peace of Mind
Villain of the Story - Peace of Mind
In the shade again
I've fallen right into the masquerade again
Can't for the life of me remember when
I got lost somewhere between now and then
I had a vision for something more
A fire inside me and I felt it to the core
So much of the world I wanted to explore
But I never made it five feet from my door
I'm done wasting away
No excuses there is nothing left to say
Finding a spark
Deep down in the dark
It's far from easy but I needed a brand new start
This is the only way that I will find
Something near to happiness in this life
I can't remember the last time that I had any peace of mind
I've fought for this
I've bled for this
There is no turning back now
And finally I'm able to see
The place I'm meant to be
I was fixated on the expectations
Of everyone around I was so frustrated
I became addicted to always overthinking
Everything I did
I had nothing to give
I started disappointing everyone
Letting down all the ones that I love
This road is covered in ice
And paved with sacrifice
I gave it all away and I paid the price
This is the only way that I will find
Something near to happiness in this life
I can't remember the last time that I had any peace of mind
I've fought for this
I've bled for this
There is no turning back now
And finally I'm able to see
The place I'm meant to be
I'm done wasting away
I'm done wasting away
This is the only way that I will find
Something near to happiness in this life
I can't remember the last time that I had any peace of mind
I've fought for this
I've bled for this
There is no turning back now
And finally I'm able to see
The place I'm meant to be
I'm done wasting away

Bookshelf like walls of the universe
I don't know what is real, only know what I've heard
It's a pretense I have of this earth
[Chorus]
Sidestep, make way for the voyager
He's been looking around, tryna prove all his worth
Spent a long time digging through the dirt
Lightspeed, light-years wеll ahead of us
He knows something wе don't, and that's what he prefers
Couldn't handle the truth at its worst
[Post-Chorus]
Hey
[Verse 2]
It's nothin' real that he's running from
Still, he left what he loved 'cause he had to run
And he tries not to beg about it, oh well, oh well
It's at night when he comes undone
'Cause everything reminds him that he's all alone
And it's hard not to think about it, oh well, oh well
[Pre-Chorus]
He fell from the light
Spend a long time down in the depths of his mind
Oh, hoping to find, why
He's caught in his ways
You can tell he's lost by the look in his eyes
[Chorus]
So, sidestep, make way for the voyager
He's been looking around, tryna prove all his worth
Spent a long time digging through the dirt
Lightspeed, light-years well ahead of us
He knows something we don't, and that's what he prefers
Couldn't handle the truth at its worst
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, ah, hey, hey
Hey, hey, ah-ah-ey
[Bridge]
'Cause you will find out you're more alive if you feel loved
And let longing die
You'll find out there's more in time
This is life
Hey, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey, oh-oh
Hey, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey-ey
[Outro]
Revolve 180 'til the tables turn
Let me be in my home, let me have what I've earned
Can't I partake in what I deserve?

Keith Urban - God Whispered Your Name
[Verse 1]
I was so cold and lost
And nothing seemed to ring true
I couldn't bear the cross
For everything I'd been through
And each day, I knew I needed change
But there was no way, no way
[Pre-Chorus]
And then God whispered your name
And that's when everything changed
And love came out of the rain
And talk about being saved
[Chorus]
Suddenly I wanna live
More than I ever did
I'm never gonna be the same
When God whispered your name
[Verse 2]
I can see the sunshine
For the first time in a while
Girl, it's like I've been baptized
By the warmth of your smile, hmm
Well, call it fate or faith or call it crazy either way
It's amazin', amazin' grace
[Pre-Chorus]
When God whispered your name
That's when everything changed
Love came out of the rain
Talk about being saved
[Chorus]
Well, suddenly I wanna live
More than I ever did
I'm never gonna be the same
When God whispered your name
[Bridge]
It's just what I needed to hear, baby
It couldn't have been more loud and clear
[Pre-Chorus]
When God whispered your name
That's when everything changed
Love came out of the rain (Out of the rain)
And talk about being saved
[Chorus]
Oh, suddenly I wanna live
More than I ever did
I'm never gonna be the same
When God whispered your name, oh yeah
[Outro]
(Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah)
Ooh, Hallelujah, baby
(Hallelujah) Oh, yeah, (Hallelujah) Hmm-hmm
(Hallelujah) Ooh yeah
I can see the sunlight shinin' through your pretty eyes, baby
(Hallelujah) Woo, hmm, (Hallelujah)
I like a man who leaves, time feels like Hell
(Hallelujah)
Got my hands up high, I got my hands up to the sky
(Hallelujah) Ooh, I'm sayin' thank you
(Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah)
Strays Don't Sleep - For Blue Skies
Strays Don't Sleep - For Blue Skies
It's been a long year
Since we last spoke
How's your halo?
Just between you and I
You and me and the satellites
I never believed you
I only wanted to
Before all of this
What did I miss?
Do you ever get homesick?
I can't get used to it
I can't get used to it
I'll never get used to it
I'll never get used to it
I'm under that night
I'm under those same stars
We're in a red car
You asleep at my side
Going in and out of the headlights
Could I have saved you?
Would that have betrayed you?
I want to burn this film
You alone with those pills
What you couldn't do I will
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
For blue, blue skies
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you
I'll forgive you

[Intro]
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1]
Loving you was easy, playing by the rules
But you said love tastes so much better when it's cruel
To you everything was just a game
And oh yeah, you played me good
But I want you, I want you, I want you
So much more than I should, (yes I do)
[Chorus]
I've got my hands up, so take your aim, yeah, I'm ready
There's nothing that we can't go through
Oh, it hit me like a steel freight train when you left me
And nothing ever hurt like you, nothing ever hurt like you
[Verse 2]
I was naïve and wide-eyed, but you made me see
That you don't get to taste the honey
Without the sting of a bee, (no, you don't)
Oh yes, you stung me good, oh yeah, you dug in deep
But I'll take it, I'll take it, I'll take it
Till I'm down on my knees, (on my knees)
[Chorus]
Oh, I've got my hands up, so take your aim, yeah, I'm ready
There ain't nothing that I won't do
Walk a thousand miles on broken glass
It won't stop me from making my way back to you
It's not real until you feel pain
And nothing ever hurt like you, nothing ever hurt like you
Oh, nothing hurt like you, (you got to believe me, alright)
Oh, everything was just a game, yes, you played me good
But I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you, I want you
[Chorus]
Oh, I've got my hands up, so take your aim, yes, I'm ready
There ain't nothing that we can't go through
Oh, it hit me like a hurricane when you left me
But I'd do it all again for you
I'll walk a thousand miles on broken glass
It won't stop me from making my way back to you
Its not real until you feel the pain
And nothing ever hurt like you, nothing ever hurt like you
[Outro]
Nothing in the whole wide world
Nothing ever, nothing ever, (nothing ever)
Nothing ever hurt like you, (like you
Like you, like you) hurt like you
Will ever, will never hurt like you, you, you, you
Nothing ever hurt like you
Volumia! - Afscheid
English translation
Always together, my arms around you
My greatest love, that I really knew right away
The very last week, the days went fast
Gets close to departure, it is difficult
Say you do not have to go treasure
You really had enough of me
Say you do not have to go treasure
Go baby, because you need, I need to know
If at all possible then
I stayed one night with you
If at all possible then
I stayed one night with you
I would say that I will be waiting
And the future for our laughs
I would say for the umpteenth time
I want no other ever
The bags are already out, the tailgate closed stores
One last long kiss in the early morning light
You look at me sweetly and grabs me tightly
I whisper in your ear, I will not forget
Say you do not have to go treasure
You really had enough of me
Say you do not have to go treasure
Go baby, because you need, I need to know
If at all possible then
I stayed one night with you
If at all possible then
I stayed one night with you
I would say that I will be waiting
And the future for our laughs
I would say for the umpteenth time
I want no other ever
Never again will I feel what I feel for you
Never again will I feel what I feel for you
So go now, and wipe your tears away
And remember very well that I love you, love you
No, no, no, you do not go baby, no
Ooh, no, no, no, you do not go baby, no, no
Jeremy Camp - Christ in Me
In this obsession with
The things this world says make us happy
Can’t see the slaves we are
In all the searching, all the grasping
Like we deserve much more
Than all these blessings we’re holding
So now I’m running free
Into an ocean of mercy, unending
So come and empty me
So that it’s You I breathe
I want my life to be
Only Christ in me
So I will fix my eyes
‘Cause You’re my source of life
I need the world to see
That it’s Christ in me, yeah
That it’s Christ in me, yeah
Done with what holds me down
The things I once was chasing after
Throw off these heavy chains
That I have let become my master
So now I’m running free
Into an ocean of mercy, unending

Mind over matter
Does it matter to any of us?
Don't change the subject
I'm heavy on your love
I missed that train
New York City: it rains!
Fly to East L.A. in big jet planes
You know you're on my mind
And if the world don't break
I'll be shaking it
Cuz I'm a young man after all!
And when the seasons change
Will you stand by me?
Cuz I'm a young man built to fall!
Mind over matter
I'm in tatters thinking about her
Taste my disaster
It's heavy on my tongue
All the lights aglow
Tokyo: snows
Go to watch the show
Curtain's closed
I'm watching you this time
And if the world don't break
I'll be shaking it
Cuz I'm a young man after all!
And when the seasons change
Will you stand by me?
Cuz I'm a young man built to fall!
I missed that train
New York City: it rains!
Fly to East L.A. in big jet planes
You know you're on my mind
All the lights aglow
Tokyo: snows
Go to watch the show; curtain's closed
I'm watching you this time
Mind over matter
Mind over matter
You know you're on my mind!
And if the world don't break
I'll be shaking it
Cuz I'm a young man after all!
And when the seasons change
I missed that train
Will you stand by me?
Fly to East L.A.
Cuz I'm a young man built to fall!
And if the world don't break!
All the lights aglow
Tokyo: snows
Go to watch the show; curtain's closed
And when the seasons change
Will you stand by me?
Cuz I'm a young man built to fall!
Metallica - Master of Puppets (Live in Cardiff, Wales - June 28, 2026)
End of passion play, crumbling away
I'm your source of self-destruction
Veins that pump with fear, sucking darkest clear
Leading on your deaths' construction
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master
Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Needlework the way, never you betray
Life of death becoming clearer
Pain monopoly, ritual misery
Chop your breakfast on a mirror
Taste me you will see
More is all you need
You're dedicated to
How I'm killing you
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master
Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Master, master, where's the dreams that I've been after?
Master, master, you promised only lies
Laughter, laughter, all I hear or see is laughter
Laughter, laughter, laughing at my cries
Hell is worth all that, natural habitat
Just a rhyme without a reason
Neverending maze, drift on numbered days
Now your life is out of season
I will occupy
I will help you die
I will run through you
Now I rule you too
Come crawling faster
Obey your master
Your life burns faster
Obey your master
Master
Master of puppets I'm pulling your strings
Twisting your mind and smashing your dreams
Blinded by me, you can't see a thing
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master
Master
Just call my name, 'cause I'll hear you scream
Master

"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.
