No Greater Love

You prepare a table
In the presence of my enemies
And you wait
You're waiting to dine with me
By your blood I enter
Into your presence so sweet
And I wait
As deep calls unto deep
And there's no greater love
Greater love knows no one than this
That a man
Would give his life
For his friends
The way you did for me
I worship you
Lover of my soul
I worship you
No greater love
And there's no greater love
Greater love knows no one than this
That a man
Would give his life
For his friends
The way you did for me

Bonnie & Clyde

Bonnie you knew me
Before all the blood
Honest, upstanding
Not what I’ve become
Never a rich man
My givings are poor
But no man is poorer
Than under the law
Bonnie they took me
They ripped out my soul
They sentence that boy in that dark
Dark death hole
I miss the days of freedom
I miss the days of hope
But I'd rather be on the run
Than standing on my own
There’s something about a man
With a gun at his side
And a fire in his heart
With a storm as his guide
To the end of the earth and back for my Clyde
Bonnie she knew me
Oh Bonnie she wept
Bonnie my lover
Each night when we slept
I knew you’d back me
I knew you’d stay
Cos you knew the wager
You knew the stakes
When we were runnin
When we were scared
I knew you’d hold me
The only, one who ever cared
Gone are the days of dreaming
Of the place we’d call our home
Somewhere to raise a family
Three children or more
But how can we have mouths to feed
Always on the run
A loaf of bread is a crime
So I’ve made it my own
All is lost for me and my Clyde
We are the hunted
Our verdicts forgone
But the blood of resistance
It runs in me strong
There’s blood on my hands
And I’ll never stop
Till they have paid
For the soul that they’ve got
So boys come get me
I’m waiting for you
Six fingers loaded
Be sure, I’ll take a few of you
Bonnie come kiss me
Let’s go away
Let's find a place
Where we won't be afraid
They told the tale
We’d always be wrong
The law is a comin
Our time’s almost done
Will you still love me
When I am dead
Will they remember the man
Runnin from his head
Death to the ones, with reward on our heads
Death to the ones, that have haunted our beds
Death to the lawmen, the vultures will swarm
Death is the wager we’ve won
Our time is done....our time is done
Death for my Clyde

Plains of Mercy
03:44
|

|
On the rolling plains of mercy, my heart cries for a home
And I wonder if there’s someplace, waiting for me
Give me the hand of hope so I know, that I belong
Even though I’m left to carry, this burden alone
I want to know, can you tell me, is love for real?
Broken, dented, damaged, beaten and bruised
A lifetime of sorrow, felt fifty years too soon
Can I hold it all together, or is just an excuse
I have nothing left to give you, got it all to lose
I want to know, can you tell me, is love for real?
Where are we to go now, if we can’t overcome?
Am I worthy of forgiveness, or are we too far gone?
Is there hope that we can make it, or will you just turn and run?
Is there love for what we fought for, or will we just call it done?
I want to know, can you tell me?
I want to know, can you tell me?
I want to know, is love for real?

The River

Don’t tell me things are gonna change
It’s been a long lonely time
That I've felt this way
Dark clouds
they are parting
Still I don’t see no sun
So don’t tell me a change is gonna come
Oh take me to the river
And hold me down
For if there ain’t no sunshine then I’d rather drown
I’ve been so alone
Standing in the middle of the crowd
Don’t they know that the lost can’t really be found
And you just say, "Go to the river, why don't you go now
and get yourself all washed clean"
I wanna go but I’m too dirty for these eyes to see
Oh take me to the river
And hold me down
Fill my lungs with water turned filthy brown
How can I ever pay
For the things that I can’t change
I’ve been wrong, oh so wrong
Wont you hurt me, hold me underground
Til they forget my name
I need somebody
I need someone to show me the way
I need a fire by night and a cloud by day
Take me to the river
And hold me down
Lift me up, oh lift me up
I gotta hear the sound
The sound of the river
A river flowing strong
It's the sound of tears of heaven
Flowing down

Take Me Home
04:45
|

|
Please, mum come home again
Don’t leave me here alone
I can’t go on this time
Cos I know in my heart, it’s true
Take me home, take me home
Cos I’m alone
Take me home, take me home
If, you can chance again
I know you’ll find your way
And if, I can touch your hand
I know you will believe
Take me home, take me home
Cos I’m alone
Take me home, take me home
And if you, can’t be around
And if you, won’t see me drown
Why’d you leave me now...
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch, like me
I once, was lost
But now, I’m found
And you, will lead me
Home
Take me home, take me home
Cos I’m alone
Take me home, take me home
Take me home
