OUT OF THE DARKNESS LYRICS

OUT OF THE DARKNESS

(Michael Bloodgood)

I am the witness of disaster
It seemed the only way was down
I saw the wicked in his scheming
I heard his victims crying out
Who do the evil prosper, his victims crushed?
I see the shadows growing, I’ve had enough

Out of the darkness into the light
I heard ten thousand cry
Out of the darkness into the light
Turn or you will die

My God how long will you forget me?
Oh Lord I need to see your face
The enemy has come against me
He laughs at me, prepared to slay
Yet I will trust in you Lord, my heart will sing
I’ll wait to hear your voice God, You’ll hear me scream

Out of the darkness into the light
See the demons flee
Out of the darkness into the light
Jesus set me free

You are the helper of the helpless
The adversary has no might
I hear Your voice of thunder, the lightning strikes
The night will flee before You, You’ll win the fight

Out of the darkness into the light
See the demons flee
Out of the darkness into the light
Jesus set me free

LET MY PEOPLE GO

(Michael Bloodgood & Les Carlsen)

He’s a smile on the face of a killer
A charm on the end of a chain
A hurricane blowing out of it’s mind
That washes the ruin with rain
He’s a beast that appears beauty
A trap just waiting to snap
He’s not what he appears to be
He’s a con man with a great rap

He feels so clever when he pulls the lever
That makes you part of his show
Evil runs wild with a long lost child
Let my people go

He hides in dirty trash cans
And in garbage on the street
Or palaces that belong to kings
But he never hides in the beat

He feels so clever when he pulls the lever
That makes you part of his show
Evil runs wild with a long lost child
Let my people go

He hides in dirty trash cans
And in garbage on the street
Or palaces that belong to kings
But he never hides in the beat

He feels so clever when he pulls the lever
That makes you part of his show
Evil runs wild with a long lost child
Let my people go

AMERICA

(Michael Bloodgood & Les Carlsen)

We have plastic, we have metal
We have iron, we have steel
We have food stuffed in our bellies
And we’re big on sex appeal
We are that blessed major power
Take all that we can
Now we have no yesterday
We even threw that away

We have weapons, we have armies
We have killers, we have power
We have gold stuffed in our pockets
This could be our final hour
If God you had trusted
Your eagle could fly
The blood of your soldiers
Is this why they died?

Spirit of God fall on us
Spirit of God fall on us

Your flag proudly waving
Your colors displayed
But your stars are all fading
Your banner has frayed

Spirit of God fall on us
Spirit of God fall on us

We need kindness, we need goodness
We need joy, we need peace
We need churches filled with people
Who are praying on their knees
To that blessed major power
Who gave His Son to man
Now we have Him here today
Yesterday and forever

Spirit of God fall on us
Spirit of God fall on us

IT’S ALRIGHT

(Michael Bloodgood, Les Carlsen,
Paul Jackson & Kevin Whistler)

Now the day has gone away
You’re sitting in the dark
When you say you are that way
You are because you are
With the tongue your mind can speak
Your will is strong when it should be weak
From your heart you overflow
How you feel is what you show

Oh it’s alright, Yeah it’s alright
Oh it’s alright by me
Oh it’s alright, Yeah it’s alright
Oh it’s alright by me

Soon you’ll say you have to pray
‘Cause praying is a start
Good for you ‘cause I have to pray too
I feel it in my heart
When you ask for your desires
He wants to please your soul
But when you stand inside the fire
He wants to make you pure as gold

Oh it’s alright, Yeah it’s alright
Oh it’s alright by me
Oh it’s alright, Yeah it’s alright
Oh it’s alright by me

Kindly souls they find a home
And very rarely lose
Life is light when switched on right
Your nature you must choose
When you seek a life worth living
You will find it in time
Don’t refuse the gift He’s giving
Death’s a bitter wine

TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN

(Michael Bloodgood, Les Carlsen
& Paul Jackson)

I remember when you came knocking on my door
I wouldn’t let you in
I kept hiding but you kept trying
And now my life is so much more

Hold me and believe me, on your word I’ll stand
Love me forever, make me understand

Every morning my heart is singing of your love
Renewing my soul
I will praise you and lift my hands to you Lord
I’ll never let you go

Hold me and believe me, on your word I’ll stand
Guide me and hide me in Your mighty hands

I will climb to the top of the mountain
On my knees, just to be with you
I will ride on the wings of the wind
‘Cause I believe, I believe in You

I remember when you came knocking on my door
I wouldn’t let you in
I kept hiding but you kept trying
And now my life is so much more

Hold me and believe in me, on Your word I’ll stand
Love me forever, make me understand

I will climb to the top of the mountain
On my knees, just to be with you
I will ride on the wings of the wind
‘Cause I believe, I believe in You

HEY! YOU

(Michael Bloodgood & Les Carlsen)

Hey you walking in the tight blue jeans
Your eyes are burning and your face is pretty mean
The light is red but your eyes are blue
You try to look good, but you know it isn’t true

You cross the street, you’re half way there
You’re on your way to hell, but you don’t care
You don’t know where you’re going
You haven’t got a clue
When the party’s over, whatcha gonna do?
Hey, hey you

Truth grows dim your innocence lost
Your name was called when He was dying on the cross
Sooner or later you must decide
You’ve tasted hell, now let Jesus be your high

You cross the street, you’re half way there
You’re on your way to hell, but you don’t care
You don’t know where you’re going
You haven’t got a clue
When the party’s over, whatcha gonna do?
Hey, hey you

You’re flying high on Sunday, but Monday’s on a roll
Too many white lines on a sea of glass
The snake has got your soul
You should be on your knees
‘Cause your nose is frozen, but your heart’s not pleased

You cross the street, you’re half way there
You’re on your way to hell, but you don’t care
You don’t know where you’re going
You haven’t got a clue
When the party’s over, whatcha gonna do?
Hey, hey you

MAD DOG WORLD

(Michael Bloodgood, Les Carlsen
& Joyce Carlsen)

If you bark and bare your teeth
If you foam at the mouth, you got company
The race is on to rule the streets
‘Cause it’s a mad dog world

We’re all unleashed tooth and nail
Fightin’ over a bone, only to find the marrow’s stale
You gotta survive or they’ll eat you alive
‘Cause it’s a mad dog world

Where can you run to away from this place?
Into the arms of goodness and grace?
Where can you go where you will be safe?
From this mad dog world, oh where?

We’re all in heat, tail to tail
Win or lose no matter what you choose
The future’s pale
Can’t satisfy those lusty eyes
‘Cause it’s a mad dog world

Where can you run to away from this place?
Into the arms of goodness and grace?
Where can you go where you will be safe?
From this mad dog world, oh where?

Wolves are dining on fresh meat
While the pups eat scraps that fall at their feet
The longest fangs lead the pack
Running’ hard ‘cause they’re clawing at your back

Where can you run to away from this place?
Into the arms of goodness and grace?
Where can you go where you will be safe?
From this mad dog world, oh where?

CHANGING ME

(Michael Bloodgood, Les Carlsen
& Paul Jackson)

I can only hope to see what is changing me
Being here like I am
The world is spinning faster heading for disaster
He’s changing me, yeah changing me

Turn on light in the dark, I can’t see
I can’t taste what I’m eating
The earth is being tread upon and bled upon
Blood dripping to the sea

He holds the world in His hand
He took they keys and showed us His plan
He is the one who brought me down to me knees

I can only pray to find how to deal with this bind
Being here like I am
The world is spinning faster heading for disaster
He’s changing me, yeah changing me

Turn on light in the dark, I can’t see
I can’t taste what I’m eating
The earth is being tread upon and bled upon
Blood dripping to the sea

He holds the world in His hand
He took they keys and showed us His plan
He is the one who brought me down to me knees

He holds the world in His hand
He took they keys and showed us His plan
He is the one who brought me down to me knees

Turn on light in the dark, I can’t see
I can’t taste what I’m eating
The earth is being tread upon and bled upon
Blood dripping to the sea

He holds the world in His hand
He took they keys and showed us His plan
He is the one who brought me down to me knees

Bring on the sleigh, I want to slide away
Are you hot, are you freezing?
Slide away there’s a price to pay
Are you hot, are you freezing?

NEW AGE ILLUSION

(Michael Bloodgood)

Straight from Hell, tongue of deception
With their words mystify they are breeding a lie
To deceive you
Dancers dream, new age illusion
‘Cause it’s only a whim you’ll be out on a limb
Can’t look back

Don’t let those demons haunt you, they’ll run if you pray
Don’t let this witchcraft blind, turn you away

Jesus, call on Jesus
Look what He done for me
Jesus, call on Jesus
Get down on your knees

House of glass, crystal cathedral
But a positive mind will just make your heart blind
You’re still lost
Visualize, Satan will lead you
But it won’t change a thing and the demons will sing
What a fool

Don’t let religion haunt you, lead you astray
Don’t let these teachings bind you, call on His name

Jesus, call on Jesus
Look what He done for me
Jesus, call on Jesus
Get down on your knees
