I met a wicked man
In the bottom of a pit in a foreign land
Surrounded with the bottles of the wine 
And the waters of a thousand other wicked men

I can’t get next to him
I can’t get buried and come back without a weight of sin
If I could find a way to maybe get a letter to him
Then I could save a poor and wicked man

I have compassion
I know I won’t be late
I’m gonna find if theres another path for the wicked man to take

I became a wicked man
And I got into a pit in a foreign land
I threw a bottle in the water with a message inside 
That said I know you are a wicked man

I left my soul to him
I let the man become a bird and fly away and then
Rise from the ashes, up from the madness
Come up to be a better man

I have compassion
I found the way to live
Seek for love and find that love will always give

I met a wicked man when I was stranded in a pit in a foreign land
He stopped to help another
Discovered it’s a brother
Love is all it takes to be a righteous man, a righteous man

Look for the answers
Find second chances
Find somewhere within there is a righteous man

When I call her in the middle of the night
She picks up that phone to tell me it’s alright
My love done me right

I don’t be worried about the storms that come
I’m holding onto something where the roots are strong
My love done me right

I always know that I can count on the strength of my love

I fill my pockets with the letters she sends me
I meditate on the message and I let it sink in me
My love done me right

I got lost in time, I had a mountain to climb
She sent me all her loving and I sent her all mine
My love done me right

I always know that I can count on the strength of my love

Of course it don’t mean nothing of the words ain’t true
If the heart is with another while the body’s with you
My love done me right

We been walking through the valley in the darkest haze
We still belong together till the end of our days
My love done me right

I always know that I can count on the strength of my love

Lift up your banner of love
as you enter the City of Light
The King has returned
He has eyes that burn

Making our way in this world
can be hard as everyone knows
The path may be narrow
but we can go

Hosanna! (Wait!)
Hosanna! (Wait!)
Hosanna! (Wait!)
Give me faith

Go far when you’re told to run for
the gold, don’t just run the race
Feel the wind blowing
across your face

Run for the way you have run
far away when the way was hard
Run for the ones who
were left with scars

Creek’s a gonna rise and the nag’s gonna foal 
Dust in the field gonna give up gold
Empty kitchen gonna run with children 
Hungry baby gonna eat her filling

River and the levee gonna reach the top
I’m gonna stay up late, I’m gonna hear them pop
Make a little music till we reap them crops
We’ll be dancing in the house tonight

Prayed for rain and then we got much better
This old town will never see bad weather

The land turned gray, not a cloud was coming 
Been a long time since the bees been humming
Preacher man said we gotta get down doing
Work with God or we will come to ruin

All the people come and all the work shut down
All the people come running from miles around
All we had to do was hold a big hoedown
And we’re singing like it’s already done

Prayed for rain about noon on Sunday 
Swam to church to thank the Lord on Monday
