Aint Love a Wonder
12/22/2002
#1

Oh you make me bashful honey.. with your stare 05 My planeâs already higher than itâs ever been
Look, itâs like this sweetheart.. I love you
I know Iâm actin crazy and I just donât even care

Cuz Iâd gone without love.. for so long
The storm winds of sorrow are almost like my friend
And then I saw you grinning, and staring at me
From across a crowded room your eyes encompassed me

Aint love a wonder mama.. so stuffed with joy
I could run forever on this.. energy
Oh yes I love you. You are made for me
And I was made by God for no one else but you girl

Chorus:
Oh Baby.. Oh my love..
Oh Honey.. Oh Honey, Honey
I need who you are.. Oh girl I do
And I know you need who I am to you

And Iâm thinking Jesus is just what he says
The king, our master.. There is so much love
He breaks the cover on our Virgin soul
And crowns us with anointing from our living God

Heâs the one true servant, our one true friend
Heâs the gentle shepherd.. Heâs faithful to the end
Thatâs why Heâs our lover.. and why heâs king
Born to humble sorrow.. He rules everything

And He will not forsake us.. He will heal and save
Every broken chalice.. Every sinner in the grave
Smoking wicks and bruised reeds are his specialty
Weâll follow him in death and he will set us free

Chorus:

This song is about the state of mind Americans were in when they voted in Bush.


1. Got a little problem
With the Arabs in the desert
So weâre gonna go to make em behave
Behave
Beha-a-a-a-ve

Take a little hammer
And you pound the little bastards
Till they finally realize we uns are brave
Are brave
Are Bra-a-a-ave
Yeah all us brave americins
But not those damn Canadians are brave

2. This here aint no problem
We jes gotta stick together
Gotta show weâre patriotic and strong
And strong
And Stro-o-o-ong

Oh, and while weâre at it
we should hunt down all those cowards
those who think to question passion and fear
Our fear
Is he-e-e-e-e-re
Yeah our fear is here, here

3. Look at all those losers
How they prance around and reason
While our boys are out there given their blood
Their blood
Their Blo-o-o-od

Jesus donât know nothing
He was jes some ancient preacher
Sayin those who save - will lose their own life
Cuz we save
Our Life
We mean to go on savin
our American life

4. Safteyâs all that matters
Donât let no one tell you different
Love is jes an observation thatâs nice
Be cold as ice
Kill twi-i-i-i-ice

Fear is our religion
And we bow before our master
And we sacrifice our children to him
Like old times
We lose
When we win




Hold On-(Roque Me)
#4

I fell into the terror wave
As it was sweeping by
It caught me by the throat and grinned
Saying you will die

I could not do a thing to live
And it was pushing fast
Tossing me among debris
And all it brought to pass

Everything was turning black
I was wrapped up tight in fear
Yet something way down deep inside
Whispered I Am here

Ca-a-a-a-ll me-e-e-e-e
I-I-I-I-I am he-e-e-e-re
My-y-y-y lo-o-o-ove
Ho-o-o-o-ld o-o-o-on

Mocking God this rush of lies
Gripped my helpless soul
Blinding me to everything
Till time could take its toll

And I just lay there in suspense
Running out of air
Hopeless in my lonely grave
Drowning in despair

Years ran past it seemed to me
Would I ever again draw near?
The face of him I love to see
That voice I long to hear

Ca-a-a-a-ll me-e-e-e-e
I-I-I-I-I am he-e-e-e-re
My-y-y-y lo-o-o-ove
Ho-o-o-o-ld o-o-o-on

And quickly as it came it went
Like it was never there
And bright rays of the living son
Stroke my drying hair

Warmth and mercy hold me close
And will not let me go
I am in the arms of God
And Oh I love Him so

I can feel His life fill up
The dark rooms of my soul
He is all Iâll ever need
I yield Him all control

Ta-a-a-a-ke me-e-e-e-e
I-I-I-I-I am Yo-o-ours
My-y-y-y lo-o-o-ove
Ho-o-o-o-ld o-o-o-on



Jasmine-The Kingdom Comes
#5

The junglesâ edge
Crouching like a tiger on the plain
Holds within its shadows
the pale white inanimate form
of who knows what

It is the incongruity
of textures
which troubles me so
Should I ask
Do I want to know

Suddenly emerging
the joyful living presence
of the noble beast
He grasps the pale white object
just to make my rash perception cease

How do I know
He is benevolent and wise
Why do I feel that he has
heard my inward cries
and that heâs come to clear away
my fear

Jealousy-Ezekiel 15, 16
(To the Christian Religious Establishment)
Sunday, July 02, 2006
#6

You come to me
Anxious and full of fear
Demanding that I repay
You for all your good deeds
Unconscious of your insult
Ignoring my jealousy
Avoiding the subject of adultery
And hypocrisy, you come
Like a woman of the night

You come to me
After long absence
Fresh from your indecency
Your face drawn up with pride
Stubborn in your denial
Rebellious to the end
And rejecting all my overtures
Despising all my love
Like a harlot there you stand

But once you were
my woman and my delight
I filled your starving heart
And I chased away your night
Of cold rejection and terror
I came to you with mercy
And you were so happy
And you were so proud to be with me
And I made you my wife

We go back girl
So long that we canât see
The beginning of our journey
And I âm not one to give up easy
And my tongue will never lie
But I am done with trying
Oh, I am going to go
And leave you to your lovers
You see if they will stay

Because they wonât
They are going to let you down
Leave you unprotected
And leave you to the thieves
Those who hate your arrogance
Are going to make you pay
And take you down in anger
And leave you dying ravaged
And still I will be angry

Long youâll lie
In pestilence and horror
Too weak to beg for mercy
Afraid to catch your breath
For fear of someone hearing
Numb with cold and hunger
Abandoned and despised
Your life will be prey to jackals
Until I âm satisfied

Then I will come
And free you from your captors
And take you by the hand
and comfort you with kindness
And fill your heart with joy
And you will always know
How much I hated your pride
Self-righteous legalism
And you will trust me then



LOWDOWN
#7

Someone got to tell you .. that she isn't yours
Someone got to tell you .. that girl is a whore
Someone got to say to you .. she isn't going to fly away
Someone better get to you .. while they still may

Some one got to hold your hand .. while you kneel and pray
And it doesn't matter what you know .. or what you say
If it wasn't for the grace of God .. you'd die this way
Yeh, someone got to comfort you .. and your sad display

Someone is a Christian man .. Hey uh Hey Hey Hey
Naked and you cannot see .. all the games you play
Someone has to let you know .. that the whore don't give
It's a shame that you're in love with her .. but God forgives

Someone has to show you how .. You wont find your way out
Jesus is-a-waitin there .. cause He heard you shout
cryin in your wretchedness .. You see it now
the poverty of arrogance .. your sacred cow

Someone really cares for you .. you stupid man
Seems like every time you fall .. you finally get the plan
Someone has to nurture .. How else can you grow
Someone's got to prove to you .. it's not what you know

Here is the lowdown notion .. come to take you high
Oh humility is trust .. This is how we fly
Well forget your slick credentials .. Leave them where they lay
Someone's going to conquer .. Jesus knows the way

Pride is the killer, baby .. and strips away your clothes
Pride is a frigid bitch .. pretending that she glows
Pride's name is Babylon .. So drunk on all her booze
Pride's going nowhere babe .. Now you gonna have ta choose

Are ya gonna follow Jesus .. or your own name
Are ya gonna follow Jesus .. or defend against blame
Agree with your adversary .. while he's on the way
If you're gonna follow Jesus .. your pride can't stay

NOM DE GUERRE 3/18/03
#8

What is this hubris
What is this nom de guerre
Where did I learn this pride
When did I learn to fear

Who stole my name from me
Lord does this have to be
I would be known by your name
I would be known by your love through me Lord

Who am I in You
That's all I want to be
Not some heroic soul
Not some great ministry

You deserve glory Lord
I have robbed this from you
Forgive my awful pride God
I stand before you in sorrow and tears

My name is Joseph
I'm loved by my father
Nothing else matters Lord
Nothing else comforts me

You are my happiness
Don't let me stray from you
Come heal my broken heart God
I am so grieved by my treatment of you



The Sender
Thursday, July 27, 2006
#9

You live in a world, lost
And dazed, and drowning in darkness
And that was OK when you were not hungry
But now comes the groaning, the gnawing of issues,
the screaming of hunger, the terror of imminent death
And you will seek answers; there is not an option now
You want enlightenment, and youâre gonna have it too
Yet the lite of this world is not the light who can save you
Itâs the grasping of demons who long for your downfall
The despairing struggle of those who will drown
This is your pattern since you were a child
Damned by the choice you made long ago
Sent to the spot where you will find justice
Brought to the place where you will get creamed

The sender approaches
And he will deliver
Your unwary pilgrims
To the end of their journey
To the place of damnation complete



THE SWEETEST SOUND
#10

Your touch
I long for You
for You my love
You are the sun in May
I a-wait Your call
O-oh my Love
The sweetest wine is Your soft voice
God..

Lord
I wor-

I shout Your praise
I lift my hands
All glory to Your name
There's no one like You Lord
O-oh my Lord
The sweetest name is Your name Lord
God..

And it donât really matter
Cuz the people that you hope in
arenât gonna help you make it
to the kingdom of Godsâ mercy
They will only take your money
As they rifle through your pockets
Filled with cotton-pickin rabbits
And the kind of thing that kills you
When you arenât even lookin
And you thought you had a comrade
But itâs getting clearer clearer every day
Yes, itâs getting getting clearer every day
Those people that you trust in will not stay

And I-I suppose you want it
Cuz youâre holdin out your thankyou
Like Iâm hungry for the wrapper
While you wolf down all the candy
Come on tell it to me straight now
You just want me for a second
While you shoot up pride and smile
Whisper âing the songs donât help you
Would you mind just giving money
Thatâs my boy, my boy, my home boy
And I thought I had a comrade
But itâs getting clearer clearer every day
Yes, itâs getting getting clearer every day
Some people that youâre lovin only play

And it donât really matter
Cuz the Master that you hope in
Isnât gonna let them keep you
From the kingdom and the wedding
They will only take your money
As they rifle through your pockets
Filled with grace and loving kindness
And the kind of thing that fills you
When you arenât even lookin
And you Do you had a comrade
And itâs getting clearer clearer every day
Yes, itâs getting getting clearer every day
Jesus goes before you all the way

When You Chose To Follow
Saturday, November 13, 2004
#15

When you chose to follow
knew right then you were my bride
Saw you in their cross hairs
Felt you suffer when you died
They stood all around you
I could taste your sad content
You set your face like I did
Never once did you relent
I had you covered, my Love
I am with you all the way

You donât need to worry
You donât have to do a thing
You are clothed with my love
On your handâs my wedding ring
This is not the winter
Lover, this is harvest time
Long has been the journey
Now weâll brake out the new wine
I had you covered, my Love
See, your night has turned to day

When you chose to follow
Every step I took with you
Held you in my arms, Love
I was there to see you thru
When the winds of terror
beat against your humble frame
It was I who stopped them
and all their lies of fear and blame
I have you covered, my Love
And Baby, I intend to stay

Hold onto me, Baby
I would wrap you in my arms
Comfort you with beauty
encourage you with holy charm
I want the world to know this
This is how I raise you high
This is how I prosper
You, the apple of my eye
Iâve got you covered, my Love
Iâm faithful in the things I say

When you chose to follow
I knew you were choosing me
You fill my heart with passion
Iâm zealous for your destiny
Hear that music playin?
Love, itâs what I long to do
Dance with you at harvest
when the threshers work is thru
I will cover you, Love
until lambs and lions play

Liner Notes



Aint Love a Wonder
12/22/2002
#1

This song casts my wife symbolically in the role of Bride of Christ. In other words it occurred to me as I was writing this song that Jesus feels as strongly, or even stronger, about his wife than I do about mine. In writing lyrics one letâs the mentality one is yielding to lead them wherever it wants to. I trust the mentality that I yield to implicitly. I yield to the mentality of the messiah, Jesus (A.K.A. the spirit of Christ). The spirit of Jesus, or mentality of Jesus, is my muse. He brings images up to my mind, and I describe what I am seeing the best that I can. Many lyrics I donât understand until later, and sometimes never.
When I first saw that woman who was to become my wife across a crowded room I did feel enraptured out of my taken for granted loneliness, and sorrow. For a couple of years afterward I would pinch myself to make sure it wasnât all just a dream. We have been married almost 27 years and I still have trouble believing I am married to someone as fine as her.

The song of all those who follow Jesus into suffering. You canât sing this song with genuine feeling if you havenât.

As I wrote in the margins of the lyric when I wrote this song, This song is about the state of mind Americans were in when they voted in Bush. It is equally applicable to the state of mind people are in whenever they are being manipulated by their fears into channeling all of their energy into self-defense, and thus stereotyping the person, or nation who is angry with them, as an enemy. Such a conservative expression is selfish and can only produce an even greater conflict. Jesus said if you save your soul (life) you will lose it. The Republican Party has adopted conservatism to the destruction of their soul. The Democratic Party has embraced the equal, and opposite, destructive error by, in pride installing its own conscience in the place of God, so that they constantly attempt to arrogantly impose their conscience on everyone, rather than to humbly admit that they donât have a solution but that it looks like this or that program might help. These two political parties are two sides of the same self-deceived coin.

They both have adopted the notion that we humans can fix every problem by simply getting people enfranchised enough to agree on the solution. We people are the problem. Our fears, our greed, our vanity, our very strong tendency to self-deception, our very strong ability to rationalize any act of pure selfishness, are the only problems mankind faces. We the people, if we did manage to agree on any topic would, certainly arrive at the worst of solutions, in as much as we have not first solved the problem of our dysfunctional humanity. God is, in truth, the only viable solution to what ails us. In pride however The United States, like the rest of civilization, chooses to look to itself for the governance of our dysfunctional souls. Like the rest of civilization it is wrong, and will soon find this out when the nations of the world, out of fear, adopt the political and cultural personification of pride (the anti-christ) as their answer to the coming global disasters. We the people will bow before their master, Fear, who of course, is the dark underside of the more socially acceptable Pride. Interestingly enough, the Flowiduh choice Americans made in fear, to save their hides, may well lead to their destruction as a nation. Soon, very soon, they will cease to exist. This will happen with such rapidity the whole world will be left in traumatized submission to the catalyst of their destruction.



Hold On
#4

Hold on was written during a time of great trial for me. I was so deeply challenged that I was questioning even the very existence of God. The afflicting emotional harassment came in great tidal waves of fear and disorientation. I believe this experience is something the whole world will undergo shortly. For Followers of Jesus, we will just have to hold on to Jesus (who we will hardly be able to sense) until the wave of terror passes. The rest of the human race will just be drowned in it, like people were in many places of the Nazi occupation during WW 2, only much, much worse. Iâm telling you, it will be much worse.



Jasmine The Kingdom Comes

Threatened by the incongruity, the sense of something out of place, within the fringes of the jungle (a pale white object) I am eventually comforted by a noble beast (a tiger, I think) who grasps the pale white object, thus revealing it to be harmless. I believe the pale white object is a symbolic representation of some idea, or principal of righteousness (white) that was being applied to my heartsâ desire (the jungle). The thing that resolved the fear was my instinctual independence (tiger).
I know thatâs kind of vague, so allow me to be more specific. I was hearing God talk to me about the promise he had made to me (to provide financially for my wife through me, so that she could rest from a lifetime of labor) and at first what He was saying to me seemed to imply that I would need to accept being someone whom he had not made me to be. When I responded to this fearful false implication with independence, which manifested as my waiting for God to confirm what I thought I was haring, Godsâ clarification of what He was saying (the tiger grasping) brought relief from the fear.
I consciously utilize a great deal of symbolism in many of my lyrics. I do so because I have been involved with dream interpretation for many years, and have come to be very comfortable with symbolism. If you wish to know more about what my take on dream interpretation is, you can read a book I have written on the topic that should be available soon, God willing. Email me for more info on this. Unless I get flooded with emails, I will be glad to answer you.



Jealousy (To the Christian Religious Establishment)
Ezekiel 15, 16 Sunday, July 02, 2006
#6

This song is a loose paraphrase of EZ 15 & 16. In January 2006, I was given a prophecy concerning the USA. The following morning my cousin called me telling me of her belief that God had just told her that Ezekiel 15 & 16 were about the Christian establishment somehow.
What follows is the Prophetic dream and follow up word God gave me. I believe the destruction of the USA will be Godsâ means of persuading his children to leave the self-governance of Church (the religious establishment) and follow Jesus into community life that is totally without human-devised agenda, or human- originated governance. If you have ears to hear, hear what God is saying through this prophecy.
For those in nations other than the USA, hear if you have ears to hear, what God is saying to you about his anger toward the Christian religious establishment, and repent of your own self-righteous, legalistic governance of your soul. God will share his glory with no man, and he is shortly going to judge the prideful rebellion of self-righteous legalism, and its social manifestation that is what we have come to know as church.

I fell asleep for a short time and dreamt that a flood flooded, swept over, all of Europe, and with such speed it was almost instantaneously covered. It was covered before anything could even be thought of being done on behalf of Europe. The flood was total.

I awoke with a start after dreaming this, and asked God what He was trying to say to me through the dream. I was tired, and said to God; if you wish me to understand something of this dream then you will have to deal with my sleepiness. The dream troubled me.

Immediately I saw a vivid mental picture of two Blocks (or powers) of absolute evil blackness consume Europe in an instant. I then saw the United States had a sink trap over it. I asked God what this meant, and I suddenly knew that it was God separating the sheep from the goats in the U.S.A. Those who were separated out were those who God was saving from destruction. It occurred to my mind, like a pronouncement from God, that; there are very few who would be saved. I knew the U.S. A. was going to go down the drain, that is, be totally destroyed. Europe would be overtaken by the Anti-Christ, who would see to the destruction of the U.S.A. Those God saved out of the U.S.A. would be sent throughout the world to preach the gospel of the kingdom of God. I knew Jonna was one who was going to be saved. The means of salvation was God raising her up.

I then remembered Debbie Cameron telling me earlier in the day she had heard a word from God in her sleep about the destruction of the religious establishment, symbolized as Jerusalem in Ezekiel 15 & 16.



LOWDOWN
#7

This song was written after God judged some of my pride (which apparently is much greater than I had any idea of). He showed me that the pride in me could be more easily recognized by me if I would look for where and when I was being defensive. If I just looked for pride, my ability to hide stuff from myself would too easily obscure the truth of my pride from me. Doing this was a terrible eye-opener for me. It continues to be, as I periodically check for more defensiveness in my soul. E-e-e-u-u-u-W!
Thank God for his faithfulness. I would be totally screwed by my own wonderful talent for denial if it were for His kindness to me. Praise God! By The way, the bottom line here is that God intends to be our defense, and thus there is no justification for us defending our self, NONE. Let me say that again, it is not your right to defend your self, ever. That, of course, is a law, or principle I just gave you, and like all laws, you must allow God to show you how, and where, and when it applies to you, and then wait for him do so by the power of His spirit.




NOM DE GUERRE 3/18/03
#8

Hereâs another song about me being shown some of my pride. On this occasion my pride led me to believe it was my duty to robe myself in my calling in defense against others wrongful treatment of me. I believe there is a number of this type of song in here. (Sigh!)

Here is another song about the coming judgment, focusing specifically on the unexpectedness of doom, and our blindness to the choices weâve made that invited it to our house, and nation, and species.



THE SWEETEST SOUND
#10

This song is a love song to God, and is one of my favorite songs to sing.
This the Journey
3/22/03
#11

This song is a call to follow Jesus wherever He leads, to sell out in following him so that we will we come to experience Godsâ circumcision of our heart (on the eight day of our rebirth), and consequently fulfill our destiny to suffer with Jesus.



The Trouble with Poonitz
Thursday, November 30, 2006
#12

Poonitz is a term of endearment and silliness I invented one day for my childrenâs pleasure. In this song it comes to stand for a brother I wish would become as a little child and trust in God instead of what he thinks he can verbally wring from the hands of his fellow man. The song also expresses my moment of realizing that that was all this brother really wanted from me at that point, which was a sad realization for me.



Welcome Home
March 17, 2005
#13

I wrote this song to welcome some fellow believers to my home. They never showed, so I will share it with you, with the same sentiment and intention that I meant for them, that is as long as you come wanting to follow Jesus wherever you sense him leading you.



Come Baby To the Wedding
Wednesday, May 24, 2006

Coming to the wedding entails decisively leaving behind your self-righteous, legalistic, self-governance, and embrace the righteousness of your groom, Jesus as the basis for every choice you make. This wedding is the greatest celebration a human can experience. Come baby to the wedding.

God gave this song to me to comfort me in a situation in which I had to make a sacrifice. God is very good at this comfort thing.
