Redeemed, Firstfruits
1-11-16

Ten minutes of silence before she arrives
Resorting not to violence
As the strong survives
To captivate the starstruck
To forget how to hate that white truck
Redeemed being the firstfruits
They follow the Lamb wherever he goeth
Hearing you will hear and not understand
Because for this hope I am bound by your Cain
For the hearts of this people had grown dull
And today I am in it for the long haul
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn
God knows I really have a lot to learn...





On For Old Neil
1-11-16

Those not defiled with women
They follow the Lamb wherever he goeth
Starting out the day with old Neil
As a musician he is still young
Another lover home, my captivity
Put into practice
In their mouths is found no guile
Without fault before the throne
Fear God and give him glory
For shadows that shine
Guitars with bars and lines
Swinging through a hall of hate
Babylon is fallen
For the tears of remorse
And fresh from the Word
Are these compositions
Like petals in the wind for changes
In his own rented house the years he tarries...
