ALL STAND TOGETHER LYRICS

S.O.S.

(Michael Bloodgood)

Fire, Spirit lit the flame
A blinding light that shows us the way
Higher, He’s going to make us soar
And fly us up to heaven’s gate
Yeah

Yearnin’, mercy bring us home
We look upon our final day
Burnin’, see the Morning Star
Trumpet blast will take us away

Glory to the King of Kings
Power to the Lord we sing
Forever and ever

Calling out S.O.S.
Save our souls
You are the only one
S.O.S.
Save our souls
Our life has just begun
Calling out S.O.S.

Cyclone, the tempest comes at last
Man is finally put to his shame
White throne, fury of the King
Judgment comes because of His name

Stars are fallin’ from the sky
Wrath of God, the Son’s burning eyes
Blazing like fire

Calling out S.O.S.
Save our souls
You are the only one
S.O.S.
Save our souls
Our life has just begun

S.O.S., save our souls, You are the only one
S.O.S., save our souls, our life has just begun
S.O.S., every knee gonna bow and every tongue confess
S.O.S., save our souls, You are the only one
S.O.S., take away our fears and all the bitterness
S.O.S., hear me cryin’ out, this is my heart’s distress
Callin’ out S.O.S.

ALL STAND TOGETHER

(Les Carlsen & Paul Jackson)

Nations will stand, nations will fall
God will require accounts from them all
Arabian oil, Mid-eastern soil
Blood in the sand, a madman demands

But we all stand, we’ll all stand together
If we all stand, we’ll all stand together
Yes we’ll all stand, we’ll all stand together
As our hands reach towards the sky

People unite with one common cause
As evil delights in breaking God’s laws
Dividing the thoughts and hearts of all men
Wicked, relentless, when will it end?

But we all stand, we’ll all stand together
If we all stand, we’ll all stand together
Yes we’ll all stand, we’ll all stand together
As our hands reach towards the sky

Side by side, hand in hand
All you people take command
And raise your voices to claim the land
That God has given you, yeah

We'll all stand, we’ll all stand together
If we all stand, we’ll all stand together
Yes we’ll all stand, we’ll all stand together
As our hands reach towards the sky

ESCAPE FROM THE FIRE

(Les Carlsen & Paul Jackson)

You’ve been beaten up badly
You life is a mess
Got no money in your pockets
Can’t seem to get no rest
Got your eyes on the other’s profits
And you’ll steal to get your own
Got no food in your belly
Got no place that you call home

I believe in love
Love believes in my
From an act of mercy
The Word has set me free

Your hands are tied behind you
Even though there is no rope
Your friends, they all despise you
But there’s one who gives you hope
He’s the one who stands before you
Even though you’re in the dark
With His light He will explore you
An He’ll cleanse your blackened heart

I believe in love
Love believes in me
From an act of mercy
The Word has set me free

Escape from the fire
No need to burn out young
Escape from the fire
And believe in the only one
Escape from the fire
On your way to the Father and the Son
Escape from the fire

I believe in love
Love believes in me
From an act of mercy
The Word has set me free

Escape from the fire
No need to burn out young
Escape from the fire
And believe in the only one
Escape from the fire
On your way to the Father and the Son
Escape from the fire
And believe in the only one
Escape from the fire
Escape from the fire
Escape from the fire
Escape from the fire
Escape from the fire

OUT OF LOVE

(Les Carlsen & Paul Jackson)

Out of love, out of compassion

When I was reading in the book of light
This touched my soul, I stayed awake all night
The written Word was in my thoughts
The truth I heard opened up my heart
You were lead like a lamb to slaughter
And as you bled, hell got hotter
And as I read my emotions were shattered
As I envisioned your body battered

Out of love, out of compassion
You turned your light on me
To end my misery
Out of love, out of compassion
I found I needed you
No one else will do

When I was walking in the valley of the shadow
It was cold, it was a battle
Word on the street was the code to live by
But now I know it was the way to die
You were led like a lamb to slaughter
And as you bled hell got hotter

Out of love, out of compassion
You turned your light on me
To end my misery
Out of love, out of compassion
I found I needed you
On one else will do

Out of love, out of compassion
You turned your light on me
To end my misery
Out of love, out of compassion
You were lead like a lamb to slaughter
And as you bled, hell got hotter

Out of love, out of compassion
You turned your light on me
To end my misery
Out of love, out of compassion
You ended my misery, my misery
Out of love, out of compassion
You ended my, my misery
Out of love, out of compassion

SAY GOODBYE

(Lyrics: Michael Bloodgood
Music: Michael Bloodgood & Paul Jackson)

I want to kiss you one last time
I want to press your lips to mine
The hands I used to hold
The arms that stopped the cold
Where’s the face I used to touch
The breath that whispered love

I never thought I’d say goodbye
I want to hold you one last time
We always said “I love you”
Can’t stop thinking of you

I thought I heard you at the door
I long to hear your voice once more
The laughter in your eyes
You made me realize
Love is not some fantasy
But now it’s just a memory

I never thought I’d say goodbye
I want to hold you one last time
I always said “I love you”
I never thought I’d say goodbye

The memories keep playing
Over and over
Turn my thoughts towards heaven
Now that it’s over

I never thought I’d say goodbye (goodbye my love)
I want to hold you one last time
I always said “I love you”
Can't stop thinking of you
I never thought I’d say goodbye (goodbye my love)
I want to hold you one last time
I always said “I love you”
Can't stop thinking of you
I never thought I’d say goodbye
Goodbye

(This song is dedicated to De Macek and to the memory of her husband Walter.)

KINGDOM COME

(Les Carlsen & Paul Jackson)

Just once is never enough
You got to try it over and over
Sometimes won’t satisfy you
‘Cause constant is your number
Just like a rat in the lab
You’re a creature of habit
You see the crack in your face
And you’ve got to grab it

Are you ready
Now the day is done
Are you ready for the kingdom
Kingdom to come

Maybe you got something cookin’
Maybe not is more like it
Could be you’re locked in a contract
And there’s no new negotiations
Or maybe you got tired of trying
So you stopped and just let go
No maybe about it
There’s someone you ought to know

Are you ready
Now the day is done
Are you ready for the kingdom
Kingdom to come

Get ready to go
Get ready to leave
To be ready for judgment
You must believe
Get down on your knees
Put your face to the floor
What ya waitin’ for?
Waitin’ for, waitin’ for?

Are you ready
Now the day is done
Are you ready for the kingdom
Kingdom to come
Are you ready
Now the day is done
Are you ready for the kingdom
Kingdom to come
What you waitin' for?
Are you ready
You better get ready
Are you ready?
Get ready, get ready
Get ready, get ready
Get ready, get ready
Get ready, get ready

FEAR NO EVIL

(Michael Bloodgood & Paul Jackson)

Wasn’t it just yesterday
The wall came down
Everyone was sayin’
Peace is all around
But now the tanks are rollin’
The missals take aim
The enemy’s approachin’
Tell me who’s to blame

Fear no evil, even when it’s at your door
Fear no evil, ahh
Fear no evil, tell me who you’re fightin’ for
Even though the end is comin'
I have learned to fear no evil

When you hear preachers sayin’
Everything’s okay
It’s time that you were leavin’
Time to run away

Keep your eyes and ears on the Lord
Author of our faith
The prophecies unfolding
He’ll take us all away

Fear no evil, even when it’s at your door
Fear no evil, ahh
Fear no evil, tell me who you’re fightin’ for
Even though the end is comin'
I have learned to fear no evil

Fear no evil
Fear no evil
Fear no evil, tell me who you're fightin' for
Fear no evil

Fear no evil, even when it’s at your door
Fear no evil, ahh
Fear no evil, tell me who you’re fightin’ for
Fear no evil, even when it’s at your door
Fear no evil, fear no evil

HELP ME

(Michael Bloodgood & Paul Jackson)

They said it would last forever
We’d taken our vows
We started our lives together
But look at us now
When did we stop trying
Now I feel like dying (help me)

Scars that will never heal
The damage is done
Arguments gone forever
But nobody’s won

I thought love would make it all right
But all you could say was goodbye

Help me see through the night
I’ve got to believe
That a new day’s coming soon

We started our lives together
We’d taken our vows
They said it would last forever
But look at us now

Help me get through the night
Give me the strength
‘Cause I feel i’m falling
Help me see through the night
I’ve got to believe
That a new day’s coming soon

I thought love would make it all right
But all you could say was goodbye

Help me get through the night
Give me the strength
‘Cause I feel i’m falling
Help me see through the night
I’ve got to believe
That a new day’s coming
Help me get through the night
I can't close my eyes
'Cause I feel tears falling
Please, please help me to see
I’ve got to believe
That a new day’s coming from you
Help me, help me
Coming from you
Help me
A new day's coming
Help me, get through the night
Help me, help me
There's a new day coming
Help me, please help me to see
Help me, help me
There's a new day coming

ROUNDED ARE THE ROCKS

(Les Carlsen & Paul Jackson)

No matter what you say
You see it every day
It’s all in front of you
It’s inside you too
It’s really everywhere
If you would only care
To look inside the truth
There’s so much living proof

Rounded are the rocks upon the beach
That take the pounding of the waves
It never ceases, never stops
The crashing sounds of thunderous water
As it hits against the shore
Only to pound once more

Silently and safely quiet
Far from shoreline battle fronts
All is well and no one thinks
Of danger ever lurking here

Peaceful inlet well protected
The rocks are sharp and unaffected
There’s no pounding waves to round them
Only bleeding feet have found them

No matter what you say
You see it every day
It’s all in front of you
It’s inside you too
It’s really everywhere
If you would only care
To look inside the truth
There’s so much living proof

Pounding is the heart that beats alone
Inside the soul surrounded
By a man’s emotion and his thoughts
While flesh and blood keep breathing

Life out of the air provided
By the highest power sighted
Sitting at the right of glory
Have you ever heard the story?

Rounded are the rocks
Pounding is the heart
One of man, one of God

LIES IN THE DARK

(Michael Bloodgood)

Babe you whisper in my ear
Things I shouldn’t hear
Oh girl this time you’ve gone too far
It’s like a falling star
You’re givin’ yourself away
Too much of a price to pay

Girl temptation’s all around
Our love has fallen down
Oh baby the passions of design
Our love is on the line
Affections have been misplaced
The scars we cannot erase

Lies in the dark
Words of love but there tearin’ us apart
Lies in the dark
Baby it's true

Babe you whisper in my ear
Things I, I shouldn’t hear
Girl this time you’ve gone too far
It’s like a falling star
You’re givin’ yourself away
Too much of a price to pay

Lies in the dark
Words of love but there tearin’ us apart
Lies in the dark
Sounds like love but it’s breakin’ my heart, yeah
Lies in the dark
Words of love but they’re tearin’ us apart
Lies in the dark
What can we do?

Lies in the dark
Words of love but there tearin’ us apart
Lies in the dark
Sounds like love but it’s breakin’ my heart, yeah
Lies in the dark
Words of love but they’re tearin’ us apart
Lies in the dark
Sounds like love but it’s breakin’ my heart, yeah
Lies in the dark
Words of love but there tearin’ us apart
Lies in the dark
Sounds like love but it’s breakin’ my heart, yeah

STREETLIGHT DANCER

(Les Carlsen & Paul Jackson)

Homeless, delinquent, defenses
Surrounding his real feelings and personality
Not shaven, not clean, a sideline player
You know what I mean
Sonata, no lyric to his music

It's a crime, it's a down right shame
It's a dirty deal in a crooked game
It's a lie and he's not to blame
He's a victim that's just been framed

He's a brilliant boy looking for an answer
But no one will employ a streetlight dancer

It's a shock, it's a jolt that kills
It'll open your eyes when blood is spilled
It'll tear and rip at your heart
When a young boy dies before he can start

Such a brilliant boy looking for an answer
But no one will employ a streetlight dancer

He'd be complete but he's missing a beat
The story is sad but true
By missing the mark he's lost in the dark
Not knowing what more to do

He's a brilliant boy looking for an answer
Evil could destroy this streetlight dancer

Streetlight dancer
Streetlight dancer
Streetlight dancer
Streetlight dancer
Homeless, delinquent
Streetlight dancer
Lifeless yet living
Streetlight dancer
His spirit is weak
His flesh is so willing
Streetlight dancer
Streetlight dancer
Streetlight dancer
Streetlight dancer

I WANT TO LIVE IN YOUR HEART

(Les Carlsen & Paul Jackson)

I felt my heart was leading
I set my course on you
In your eyes I'm reading
Tell me what you want to do

I want to live in your heart
I want to be in your thoughts
Where you go, walk with Me
And when you talk, talk about Me

The whole world sits and wonders
How man loves a woman
And passion's filled with thunder
From the trance they're under, yeah

I want to live in your heart
I want to be in your thoughts
Where you go, walk with Me
And when you talk, talk about Me

When you're alone in the middle of the night
Let my love be your light
When you awake from your sleep
Know in your heart my love's deep
My love's deep

When you're alone in the middle of the night
Let my love be your light
When you awake from your sleep
Know in your heart my love's deep
Yeah

I want to live in your heart
I want to be in your thoughts
Where you go, walk with Me
Walk with me
And when you talk, talk about Me
Yeah
I want to live in your heart, I felt my heart was leading
I want to live in your heart, I set my course on you
I want to live in your heart
I want to live in your heart, I want to live in yours too
I want to live in your heart, I want to live
I want to live in your heart, I want to live
I want to live in your heart, in your heart
