The Rise and Fall of Babylon 06:46
lyrics
buy track
I don't wanna' weep like a fallen angel I don't wanna' cry bitter tears as I fall and kiss the ground I don't wanna' lie in the arms of strangers Any minute now could be the last one that you know Your enemy's deceit and betrayal Your enemy will masquerade as an angel of light I don't wanna' rage and lose the battle Take comfort in the dark underneath a canopy of lies This is the rise and fall The rise and fall The rise and fall of Babylon Haunted in the graveyard of the forest Through the concrete canyons and the pock marks of the earth Drunk upon the fruit of the sweet deception Look upon the destiny of the secular world Will anybody hear her cry for mercy Will anybody hear her cry in the rivers of blood? Surely goodness and mercy will follow Who is there like Jonah in the whale Who is there to call upon us mercy from above? Now the fields are dry and the flocks be barren The children cry for want the philosophies have failed Oh that I might rest in the day of trouble My knees are trembling for the finger on the wall

Born to be holy 03:20
lyrics

Mighty like a warrior In the heat of battle Called to be a witness To the great I am Humble like a servant Standing with the meek Gentle as a dove Comforting the weak Born to be holy To the Lord Written in the scripture That cannot be broken Written on the tablets Of flesh and stone Glory in the highest The angels cry his name Only the righteous Will remain My God you're beautiful Sleeper awake My God incredible Glory awaits

Joy down by the river 04:46
lyrics
buy track
Way down by the river The Holy Ghost will wash your sins away He waits by the river For the lost come what may There's joy down by the river Joy down by the river Get your soul deliverance today There's joy down by the river Joy down by the river Come along and hear now what I say I went to the river Early on a sunlit morn Engulfed in the river The dove alights like flocks new shorn Come to the river The waters flow from high above Drink of the river Sacred water and lifeblood Ah hear now what I say Lord hear me when I pray Ah hear now what I say Lord hear me when I pray Be washed in the river Joy is all that will remain Believe at the river There's no pride no guilt no shame

Listen to the preacher 04:07
lyrics
buy track
Hey Come and hear the lesson for today Reading from the word I hear him say Put your hand upon the plough Plant your seed and till your ground The husbandman has sacrificed the Lamb Let us come and listen to the preacher Let it be with joy Take to heart the words of the teacher Let it be with joy Hey How does it feel when the arrow flies Though you're scared be prepared to die To lay your life down for your friends To be faithful till the end Till the moment when the trumpet sounds Hey From Babylon to the promised land Heathen empires melted into sand From political upheaval Corruption good and evil Take the sword and put your armour on

Even so 04:48
lyrics

Brother John got the revelation A long time ago Saw the world and the desolation Of the seven woes Brother John saw the saviour standing With the seven stars With the seven golden lampstands Giving light afar Hey hey hey hey It’s a heavy heavy load It’s a heavy heavy load Brother John spoke to the saviour Wrote it in a book Sent it off to the seven churches Said take a look Saw famine plague and fire Down here below Saw war and the angels flying Where the four winds blow As every tribe will wail on account of him Even so amen Every tribe will wail on account of him Even so even so even so Amen Hear the sound of the fig leaves falling When the mountains shake Hear the sound of the fig leaves falling When the earth it quakes Once more I shake the heavens Till the stars fall down Once more I shake the earth And open up the ground Have you heard the news today Have you seen the signs Have you heard the news today Have you seen the signs? Here comes the horseman Riding faithful and true His robe dipped in blood Making all things new

Sailor 04:03
lyrics

Sailor Go where the wind blows Sailor Follow the stars Sailor Go where the wind blows go follow the stars to their heaven Going now Going to the new world Going now Off to new lands Where are they? Over the ocean that laps at the fringes of heaven Sea saw The dragon will roar Across the sea upon every shore But I will sing you a new song Of the shore you’ve been laid down upon When the silence comes Falling on your heart Like the water runs Honestly In the still hot sun What will become when the ship loses sight of the shore? Destiny For all who assail her Destiny On the quivering wave Rage and ruin For all of the Jonahs cast to the cauldron for calm Leviathan raised up his head and writhed enraged Were all of our hopes to be splintered and dashed and flayed? But how we fled Away from the darkness As one we hauled The ropes and the sails The wind it blew And we escaped the mouth of Abbaddon’s cave But the storm howled on For days upon days And we sang this song To comfort our hearts We were alive But the darkness was long and the ship was falling apart Colours forming sweeping soaring Light is being born

When my time has come 03:47
lyrics

When my time has come When my time has come I’ll be resting in the blessing When my time has come If I see it through If I see it through No more crying with angels flying If I see it through I’ll be singing glory Glory hallelujah When I recount the story With my every breath See it through See it through Rachel crying for her children Because they are no more Who will dry her tears Who will cleanse her sores? They are no more They are no more Onward to Zion We will be marching Songs of salvation Will be heard across this land

Doctor 04:20

I wanna see the doctor I wanna see him now I wanna see the doctor I wanna see him now My great physician heals the sick The lost he came to save So they took me to the doctor For the touch of his healing hands Yeah they took me to the doctor For the touch of his healing hands Brethren put your hands to the plough Give the healing a chance Doctor doctor will you come and save me? He inclined and heard my cry Doctor doctor will you come and save me? He inclined and heard my cry Took me in his loving arms Made me understand Can I take you to the doctor Can I take you to him now? Can I take you to the doctor Can I take you to him now? It’s a sick and sorry world out there And it needs a doctor now I was crippled I was blind I was ignorant as well I was crippled I was blind I was ignorant as well Brethren change your minds Heed the tolling bell

Shiloh 03:39
lyrics
buy track
We spend our days as a tale that is told And we grow old quickly as the wind blows cold Shiloh And the waters ebb and the waters flow But here shall your proud waves be stayed Shiloh And the sun will rise and the sun will set But here is the story that I love best Shiloh And the wind it did howl and the waves they did roar And he calmed them all And the multutudes came and they cried in their pain And he healed them all And the birds and the bees and the watermelon trees The beast in his lair and the fish in the sea Shiloh And the moon and the tides and the stars in the sky The spark of the fire and the seed that is sown Shiloh But they nailed him fast and they hung him high They spat on him and then denied Shiloh But with piteous eye he looked on them And said father forgive they don't know why All will come to be revived
