My Friend Jesus - Newsboys
]My Friend Jesus - Newsboys


I bought a product they should not have sold
I called the help line
They put me on hold
I’ve been waiting for an hour
Now my phone’s losing power
And I’m gonna explode
I hear, “How may I help you today?”
I know a very rude answer
But I’m wondering, ‘Hey…’

What if everybody talked like my friend Jesus
If everybody loved like my friend Jesus
If everyone forgave like my friend Jesus
It would give the world a new beginning
What if this is like an early inning?

I state my business
She puts me on hold
I’m back to thinking
I’m gonna explode
And the dog wants dinner
And the music they’re playing
Is the soundtrack of hell
You say, “Two wrongs don’t make a right?”
Just try listening to Celine Dion all night.

But if everybody talked like my friend Jesus
If everybody loved like my friend Jesus
If everyone forgave like my friend Jesus
If we want to mend world relations
Surely I can show a little patience

I’ve been waiting around for this world to change
Another day cut loose, another lame excuse
I’ve got the why and how to start here and now

Then my cellphone drops the call
And I spew out vitriol
And as my fist goes through the wall
A voice says
“BE THE CHANGE YOU WANNA SEE!”

‘Cause if everybody talked like my friend Jesus
If everybody loved like my friend Jesus
If everyone forgave like my friend Jesus
What a changed world this could be

Starting now, maybe I can start the change in me

Dead Man (Carry Me)
Dead Man (Carry Me) - Jars Of Clay

January 1, I've got a lot of this on my mind
I'm looking at my body through a new spy satellite
Try to lift a finger, but I don't think I can make the call
So tell me if I move, 'cause I don't feel anything at all

So Carry Me,
I'm just a dead man
Lying on the carpet
Can't find a heartbeat
Make me breathe,
I want to be a new man
Tired of the old one
Out with the old plan

I woke up from a dream about an empty funeral
But is was better than the party full of people I don't really know
They've got hearts to break and burn
Dirty hands to feel the earth
There's something in my veins,
But I can't seem to make it work... won't work

So Carry Me,
I'm just a dead man
Lying on the carpet
Can't find a heartbeat
Make me breathe,
I want to be a new man
Tired of the old one
Out with the old plan

Can you find a beat inside of me?
Any pulse?
Getting worse?
Any pulse?
Getting worse?
Inside of me, can you find a beat?

Carry Me,
I'm just a dead man
Lying on the carpet
Can't find a heartbeat
Make me breathe,
I want to be a new man
Tired of the old one
Out with the old plan

Carry Me,
I'm just a dead man
Lying on the carpet
Can't find a heartbeat
Make me breathe,
I want to be a new man
Tired of the old one
Out with the old plan

Crooked Deep Down
Crooked Deep Down - Derek Webb

My life looks good I do confess, you can ask anyone
Just don’t ask my real good friends
'Cause they will lie to you
Or worse, they’ll tell the truth

Because there are things you would not believe
That travel into my mind
I swear I try and capture them
But always set ‘em free
It seems bad things comfort me

Good lord I'm crooked deep down
Everyone is crooked deep down
Good lord I'm crooked deep down
Everyone is crooked deep down
Everyone is crooked deep down

There is this girl she was made for me
She stood me up our wedding day
And now that girl runs around on me
She’s drunk all the time
But see I’d die to make her mine

Good lord she's crooked deep down
Everyone is crooked deep down
Good lord she's crooked deep down
Everyone is crooked deep down
Everyone is crooked deep down

I’m not water and I’m not wine
You could say I’m just here for the party
With one thing on my mind
Squeezing me and my camel through the needle's eye

Good lord I'm crooked deep down
Everyone is crooked deep down
Good lord I'm crooked deep down
Everyone is crooked deep down
Everyone is crooked deep down

Calling Heaven
Calling Heaven - Michael W. Smith

Calling heaven
Seeking mercy
Tell me there's a place for these

What of the children who have never felt a love
Tender as the morning
Nursing the bruises
And the scars that never seem to go away

What of the babies who have never left the womb
Breathing in the lifeline
Angels in waiting
Gone before they could be given wings to fly

Calling heaven
Seeking mercy
Tell me there's a place for these

What of the noble who are searching for the truth
With truest of intentions
And yet they're jaded by
Hypocrisies behind cathedral walls

What of the humble and the meek that knew despair
And never got their moment
But sacrificed a life of comfort
So that others knew no pain

Calling heaven
Seeking mercy
Tell me there's a place for these

What of the ones who call you Lord
But play the field
with faithless indecision
Forgive us father for we truly
Do not know what we have done

Calling heaven
Seeking mercy
Tell me there's a place for these

Spit On A Stranger
Spit On A Stranger - Nickel Creek

However you feel, whatever it takes
Whenever it's real, whatever awaits me
Whatever you need, however slight
Whenever it's real, whenever it's right.

I've been thinkin' long and hard about the things you said to me.
Like a bitter stranger.
Now I see the long and short, the middle, and what's in between.
I could spit on a stranger. (Pull me out.)
You're a bitter stranger. (Pull me out.)

Whatever you feel, whatever it takes
Whenever it's real, whatever awaits me
Whatever you need, however so slight

Honey, I'm a prising door, I catch you, we're the perfect match.
Like two bitter strangers.
Now I see the long and short, and I can make it last.
I could spit on a stranger. (Pull me out.)
You're a bitter stranger. (Pull me out.)

I could spit on a stranger. (Pull me out.)
You're a bitter stranger. (Pull me out.)

I could spit on a stranger. (Pull me out.)
You're a bitter stranger. (Pull me out.)

See the sunshine eyes.
Try the things you never tried.
I'll be the one that leaves you high, high, high.

Have Love
Have Love - Lost And Found

Lord, before there was peace or war
You made the planets spin
You let life begin
Now that all may have enough
We lift our hearts above
And pray God, let the world have love
Oh God, let the world have love

Still, until, you reveal to us your will
And gathered at your throne
Our eternal home
Now that all may see your face
Every tribe and race
God, may the world have grace
God, may the world have grace

So, we know, and our unity may grow,
Stay the fist-clenched hand;
Help us understand.
Now may wars and fighting cease
And harmony increase;
God, may the world have peace,
Oh God, may the world have peace

Lord, before there was peace or war
You made the planets spin
You let life begin
Now that all may have enough
We lift our hearts above
And pray God, let the world have love
Oh God, let the world have love

Darcy The Dragon
Darcy The Dragon - Roger Whittaker

Christmas was coming, and Darcy the dragon
Was thinking what he should do.
Go through the forest and into the village
To pick up a gift or two.
For through the forest dear Darcy had friends
Whom he loved very much.
He thought it'd be fine, at Christmas-time,
To give each a present or such.

But Darcy'd forgotten the very thing
That makes a dragon unique.
Unlike a horse, a dragon, of course,
Breathes fire whenever he speaks.
Off to town dear Darcy went,
But woe is me, oh lament,
Before a dragon penny was spent
He'd started a tiny fire.

He said he was sorry our Darcy did.
He helped put the fire out.
The folks forgave him for he'd been kind
And off he went looking about.
Into the toy shop did Darcy go
With thoughts of his forest friends!
"I'll buy each a game," he said with a flame,
And the second fire it was then.

This time, when the fire was out,
The villagers charged along
Pursuing Darcy with angry shouts:
"Be off! Away! Be gone!"
Poor Darcy spoke,"No harm I meant!"
But from the village he was sent.
And woe is me and oh lament,
No presents for his friends!

Darcy was sad as he sat at the edge
of the forest by and by.
No gifts would he have to offer his friends,
A tear rolled from his eye.
A storm did gather and soon it hit
with a mighty wind that blew!
And Christmas snow did whirl and blow
And he wondered what to do.

As Darcy let out with a dragon cry,
He opened his mouth so wide
That the wind and snow blew right down his throat
And put out the fire inside!
When Darcy realized the fire was out,
First a whisper, then a SHOUT!
And a laugh to know he could speak without
Starting another fire!

Now it was late on a Christmas eve.
He was up, and off with a roar!
He raced to the village and he cried out,
'My fire! He am no more!'
From shop to shop he then did go.
In each he made his choice.
Darcy was treated so kindly now,
No need to fear his voice!

The villagers came to the edge of town,
And Darcy waved good-bye.
"Come back again, if ever you can!"
They said, and he said that he'd try
"Merry Christmas!" all did say
as to the woods he made his way.
Tomorrow will be Christmas Day
And a merry Christmas to thee!
