WhiteHeart Wednesday



MESSIAH
WhiteHeart
You’re lookin’ at me
With those dark wounded eyes
You say
Why do we fight like this
I got no reply
You say
Save me this argument
Save me this grief
I haven’t got the heart to say
I can’t even save myself
We’re in a jungle of words
But one thing is clear
If it’s up to either one of us
We’ll never ever get out of here

We need a leader
A lover
A pillar of fire
A teacher
A healer
Oh can’t you see
We need a Messiah
We need a Messiah
We need a Messiah
We need a Messiah

They’re talkin’ homeless and poor
They’re talkin’ animal rights
See the Hollywood daffodils
Bloomin’ in the TV lights
Oh they say
Save the forest
Save the whales
Save them all by telemail
Some of them believe in the latest cause
Some of them just see another curtain call
Me I got this sick kinda feelin’ inside
I’m starting to think about all my pride
Do we know
When are we gonna see
The needed change has to come from
Someplace other than you and me

Oh we need a leader
A lover
A pillar of fire
A teacher
A healer
Whoa whoa
Can’t we see
We need a Messiah
We need a Messiah
We need a Messiah
We need a Messiah
Oh we need a Messiah
We need a Messiah
We need a Messiah
We need a Messiah
Yeah

Can we see how we’re feelin’
Or can’t we see
Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa oh oh oh
We need a lover
Yeah
A teacher
A healer
All of you lift your eyes to Him
All the way to Heaven

Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa oh oh whoa whoa

Oh we need a Messiah
We need a Messiah
We need a Messiah
Oh we need a Messiah
Oh we need a leader
Oh we need a lover
We need a healer
We need a Messiah
We need a Messiah
We need a Messiah
We need a Messiah
We need a Messiah

Yeah



MONTANA SKY
WhiteHeart
Gazing
From a lonely mountain top
Face to face
With a sky that never stops
Here
Where an empty soul can turn
To look for the reasons
The riddles of why
They happen
Things we just don’t understand
But there’s a peace
For what we cannot comprehend
Oh
We can climb higher than the pain
To find some comfort
When the answer isn’t plain

We don’t know why
But when the world is lost in shadows
There is a Light that will remain
The love He gave
That cared enough to die
Is as endless as the Montana sky

Flowing
On the mysteries of time
Are secrets
That are hidden from my mind
Oh
For all I cannot understand
My loving Father
Holds the answers in His hands

We don’t know why
But when the world is lost in shadows
There is a Light that will remain
The love He gave
That cared enough to die
Is as endless as the Montana sky
When there’s no why
There is hope beyond the sorrow
It is the Truth that will not change
His love that gave
That cared enough to die
Is as endless as the Montana sky
Pure as the Montana sky

Endless as the Montana sky



MORE SOLD OUT
WhiteHeart
The Klan is marchin' up and down the street
Speakin' out from under a sheet
They say they're savin’ their neighborhood
They really believe they're doin' good
Ooh
Are they working harder
At what we think is wrong
Than we are
At what we know is right
Beastie Boys got a number one
They just say it's harmless fun
And while they're rappin' to the bank
Dissension runs through the family ranks
Are they workin' harder
At what we think is wrong
Than we are
At what we know is right

Sold out
They might be sold out to sin
Sold out
Gotta take a look inside
What do you see
Are you and me
More sold out to Him

Now y’all listen to what I’ve got to say

Met a devil woman just the other day
Divide the home is what she prayed
Even read the Bible in front of me
She said
You gotta know your enemy
Are we gonna sit back
And let them take control
When we've got His power
In our soul

Sold out
They might be sold out to sin
Sold out
Gotta take a look inside
What do you see
Are you and me
More sold out to Him
Oh yeah

Aaah yeah

We're not gonna sit back
And let them take control
No
When we've got His power
In our soul
Yeah

Sold out
They might be sold out to sin
Sold out
Gotta take a look inside
What do you see
Are you and me
More sold out to Him
Sold out
They might be sold out to sin
Sold out
Gotta take a look inside
What do you see
Are you and me
More sold out to Him
Oh yeah

More sold out
More sold out
Are we more sold out to Him

Are we more sold out to Him


Sold out

LOVERS AND DREAMERS
WhiteHeart
It's the fact of the matter
Someone's gonna lead the land
That's the way
It's gonna be
Gonna do it anyway they can
It's so easy talkin’ about it
Criticize into the air
But how wise
Is a wise man
If all he ever does
Is sit in his chair

You can take your seat in the stands
Oh but what we really need are
Lovers
And dreamers
Lovers of the Light
We need lovers
And dreamers
Dreamers with Heavenly sight
We need lovers

Really isn't a wonder
The world doesn't listen at all
We've lost the color
In the picture
We drew the picture way too small
So paint a new horizon
See the world He's placed in you
Open up
To the vision
You got a lotta livin’
Livin’ to do

Don't you take your seat in the stands
Oh but what we really need are
Lovers
And dreamers
Lovers of the Light
We need lovers
And dreamers
Dreamers with Heavenly sight
People
To follow
Who care enough for tomorrow
Leaders
Who honor
The Savior
Who want to carry the fight

Someone's gonna lead the land
Oh but what we really need are
Lovers
And dreamers
Lovers of the Light
We need lovers
And dreamers
Dreamers with Heavenly sight
We need lovers
And dreamers
Lovers of the Light
We need lovers
And dreamers
Dreamers with Heavenly sight

We need lovers



MAN OVERBOARD
WhiteHeart
Man over me
Man over you
Man like a fist
Man wanna rule
The crystal ball
Predicts the fall
Man overlord
Man overboard

Feels like we’re driftin’
For some dark uncharted land
Don’t know where we’re goin’
But it’s not where we have been
Did we think that we could sail
The waters of this storm
We can’t control the rudder
And the sail’s getting torn
I’m afraid for me
I’m afraid for you

Man over me
Man over you
Man like a fist
Man wanna rule
The crystal ball
Predicts the fall
Man overlord
Man overboard

Everywhere I turn
I feel the power of the sea
To think that we are drownin’
In our own hypocrisy
Devoured by the amount of all
The things that we create
We thought we were creators
Now we’re eaten by our fate
I’m afraid for me
I’m afraid for you

Man over me
Man over you
Man like a fist
Man wanna rule
The crystal ball
Predicts the fall
Man overlord
Man overboard
Man over me
Man over you
Man like a fist
Man wanna rule
The crystal ball
Predicts the fall
Man overlord
Man overboard

Man over me
Man over you
Man like a fist
Man wanna rule
The crystal ball
Predicts the fall
Man overlord
Man overboard
Man over me
Man over you
Man like a fist
Man wanna rule
The crystal ball
Predicts the fall
Man overlord
Man overboard
Man overboard
Man overboard
Man overboard
We’re falling
Man over

Overboard



MAYBE TODAY
WhiteHeart
I watched the news today in silence
Looks like the world
Is spinnin’ out of control
Reality seems so hard
Do I hear echoes of Isaiah
All the prophecies
Are come to one place
Maybe it’s time the end’s in sight
Why search the sky
They should be searchin’ inside

Maybe today
Maybe tomorrow
That’s not the question for me
No matter what time
I’m gonna follow
Keeper of all eternity

Heaven will always be there waitin’
Drama flows
Our Lord will return
You know that time will surely come
Until it does
So much work must be done

Maybe today
Maybe tomorrow
That’s not the question for me
No matter what time
I’m gonna follow
Keeper of all eternity

Whoa oh oh oh

Maybe today
Maybe tomorrow
That’s not the question for me
No matter what cost
I’m gonna follow
Keeper of all eternity
Maybe today
Maybe tomorrow
That’s not the question for me
No matter what cost
I’m gonna follow
Keeper of all eternity

Maybe today
Maybe tomorrow

No matter what cost
I’m gonna follow


Maybe today

On My Own

Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.”  Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.  Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.”

I was raised in a very conservative Southern Baptist family and taught that we were pretty much on our own in this world.  For apart from God intervening directly to accomplish His purposes in the lives of those like Moses, King David and the Apostles, we were expected to follow the instructions given in the Bible while He watched from Heaven.  Quite obviously, such passages as James 4:13-15 were not focused upon.

When our Heavenly Father, who truly is the Lord God Almighty and Creator of all that exists (apart from Himself, of course) started making Himself real unto me 21 years ago, one of the first things He emphasized was that He truly is in FULL control of ALL that happens—albeit only in respect to the absolute truth of the matter truly being that nothing can happen without it being in accordance to His will.  This includes even what we naturally consider the bad stuff, which is actually meant for His glory and our ultimate good.

I have never been shy about openly proclaiming such since, but from time to time, I have fallen back upon what I was raised to believe.  For I would find myself making all sorts of plans without any regard to what our Heavenly Father wanted.

He has always been faithful to lead me back to my right-mind before I could do too much damage, but I have not always appreciated the way He has done it.  Such was the case recently.  For after being given the idea for developing an advertising app for bloggers and assurance of being allowed and enabled to learn how to write the code for both it and the supporting website, I shut Him out of the necessary steps.

Alas, He went to great lengths (from my own ground-based perspective) this time.  For as my eyesight became progressively weaker and weaker, I still pushed on to make the timetable I had in mind.  I even went to the eye doctor for the first time in six years to obtain a prescription for much stronger glasses, but I could not get one.  For my weaker vision was the result of diabetic bleeding in the back of my eyes and cataracts.  I was given a shot of Avastine in my right eye and an appointment for a shot of the stuff in my left eye a week later, with cataract surgery to come after being re-evaluated in a month.

Oh my, the vision in my right eye improved considerably just a couple of days later, but it was still very weak due to the cataracts.  My plan was to take it easy online at least until the vision in my left eye equaled my right one, but some complications arose that kept me from making the appointment for my left eye shot of Avastine.  You can read about the details [here].

I was to the point of hysterics over what was happening to me until I started actually listening to what He was telling me.  For what I was experiencing was giving me more to write about concerning the very poor general condition of healthcare in this country and bringing to my attention that my own spiritual health was in great need of some mending.

Speaking of such, I have always been reluctant to count all of the trials and tribulations I have been subjected to as joy [James 1:2-4].   Now, I have understood the reason, but I still did not feel like I really had to be joyful over suffering.  Yet, I found myself almost giddy with joy over just being allowed and enabled to get out of our bed at home without a lot of trouble a few days after leaving the hospital this last time.  Yes, I was reminded of James 1:2-4, and I had to laugh at His sense of humor (again).

No, my latest time of tribulation is not yet over.  For I am still not as physically well I was even a couple of months ago, but that is okay.  For He always has my best interest at heart—even when I go to do things on my own without respect to what is in His best interest.

LOOKING GLASS
WhiteHeart
Who am I
I’m not sure what I’m doin’ here
It’s been too long
I’ve been starin’ in the mirror
Of the past

Now I am ready to dream
I am ready to hope at last
‘Cause I have come to believe
That You don’t see me
In the past
In Your looking glass

Help me Lord
Help me bring this to an end
Bring this to an end
I want to heal
I want to feel my heart again
Feel my heart again
But not the way it’s been

‘Cause I am tired of the pain
I am tired of the emptiness
I am ready to dream
‘Cause You don’t see me
In the past
In Your looking glass

Now I am ready to dream
I am ready to hope at last
‘Cause I have come to believe
That You don’t see me
In the past
In Your looking glass
In the past
Of Your looking glass



LOVE IS EVERYTHING
WhiteHeart
Don’t you let anyone say
It’s a jungle out there
So jump in the fray
There is a far better way
It’s love
Love is everything
Take an ax to the family tree
Cut the cord of society
Then the only one left to love
Is named me
And that’s nothing
When love is everything

Love
Love
Love
Love is everything
Love is everything
I said
Love
Love
Love
Love is everything
Love is everything

You can clench your teeth
On the taste of hate
‘Cause someone will hurt you
Sooner than later
But your heart will collapse
From the weight
Of nothing
When there are faces to hold
Memories to heal
Hands to touch
Summer nights to feel
Deeper than deep
In your heart
You can know what is real
That love is everything

Love
Love
Love
Love is everything
Love is everything
I said
Love
Love
Love
Love is everything
Love is everything
Oh
Love
Love
Love

War is Hell
And hate’s a machine
And the world is full
Of little kings and queens
But it’s time to forgive
Hope and dream
And love

Don’t you know that
Love is everything
I said
Love
Love
Love
Love is everything
Love is everything

So bring everything
That your heart can bear
Live your life
Like a holy prayer
Before your gaze comes to rest
On an empty chair

Love
Love
Love
Love is everything

Oh
Love
Love
Love
Love is everything

Oooooh

Everything

Don’t you know
Don’t you know

It’s
Everything

Everything
