I may have posted this before, but who cares. LOL It fits today.
ballad in plain red(words and music by derek webb)
i’m robbing peter, i’m paying paul
i’m changing my name back to saul
i got to them and you know i’ll get to you
i’m turning shepherds into sheep
and leaders into celebritiesit’s holy sabotage, just look around you
‘cause everything’s for sale in the 21st century
and the check is in the mail from the 21st century
don’t want the song i want a jingle
i love you Lord but don’t hear a single
and the truth is nearly impossible to rhyme
but i know the songs with all the hooksand i know some lies that will sell some books
so grab ‘em fast, i’m running outta time
just keep selling truth in candy barson billboards and backs of cars
truth without context, my favorite of all my crimes
what works verses what's right
hey what's the difference tonight?
take out the sign, forget the meal
we’ve got a gym and a farris wheel
i swear it's just like the country club down the block
‘cause you can make your life look good
you can do what Jesus would
but you’d be surprised what you can do with a hard heart
i think you’ve got trouble in the 21st century
so welcome to the struggle, it’s the 21st century
i never thought i’d make it to the 21st century
Lord, i love the 21st centuryi write these words from the grave
‘cause it’s the only place that i’m safe
and only the dead are permitted to speak the truth

I love Derrek Webb. His "She Must and Shall Go Free" album is awesome....Have you heard it? Pretty deep stuff. Thanks for sharing Jewels!

Is that I See Things Upside Down? I don't have it, but it's on my wish list! :)
Here's a song that really beat on me last weekend. It's really better with the music, you feel the movement and the emotion. But anyway, here ya go!
You, hiding your thoughts, keeping the world always laughing,
down deep in your soul you are dying
hurt that has not healed starts to cry for freedom
wings you need to fly are broken
Jesus is ready to carry your load, how strong he is,
spirit please move us to where we belong cuz we are so weak, we need your arms
Jesus we need you.
The world spinning so fast,
We miss the signs when pain is coming
blame seems to find rest in the heartache
drowning in our shame
forget how to swim to the savior
He's a hand away,
He wants to save us.
Jesus is ready to carry your load, how strong he is,
spirit please move us to where we belong cuz we are so weak, we need your arms
Jesus we need you,
Oh how we need you!
Jesus I need you.
