    "Miracle"

    Uncle Keith is dying
    He needs a new heart
    He's got to wait in line
    Aunt betty is trying to learn to cope with it
    She prays that if it's time to go
    He will have no regrets

    A miracle
    A miracle
    A miracle
    She is looking for

    Rob left Connie after many years in the vow
    He needed some time
    Connie can't stop crying
    It's almost two years now
    She prays and prays and weeps to wail
    Yet God has given to no avail

    Chorus

    Sister Lanna wonders
    As she looks at her new born
    Pretty blue eyes
    Her boyfriend wouldn't marry
    And left the two alone
    How can she raise this little one
    With no father and no home

    Chorus
    "War"

    Who's to blame is it Saddam Hussein
    The secretary, the congress, or the president
    It's all the same since Abel and Cain
    We're living in a violent world

    You've got to save the country
    Cast away the branches

    Saddam blames it on the
    Horizontal drill
    The emir of Kuwait was sucking his fill
    Oppression oppression one against the other
    We're fighting Satan and helping his brother

    Chorus

    War
    "Suicide"

    The facts are frightened
    When a shade falls in your room
    Money evaporates too soon
    The old days of heightening
    These melancholy moods
    Are stretched to the ripping core
    Of the cracking glue

    Don't die don't give me that suicide
    I want you for my love

    A soothing tongue of fire will lick up an open wound
    Give some time for the rose to bloom

    Chorus
    "Not a Cussword"

    Born of a virgin
    Baptized in the Jordan
    Tempted in the desert
    Healer of the leper
    My name is Jesus Christ

    Turned over the tables
    In the house of My Father
    Got crucified, died, and rose again
    To save you from the scoffer
    My name is Jesus Christ

    I'm not your cuss word am I?
    I forgive, I love you, give it to Me
    Whatever it is
    "Hummingbird"

    (Italian - French - German)
    How beautiful is the hummingbird
    How vile the lusts of man
    "Loved One"

    You're locked in a cage
    You're looking for a noose
    The girl you love had broken loose
    She doesn't explain why she's
    With your friend
    Your begging Jesus bring her to her knees
    You loved the girl
    You gave her your world
    She doesn't care that you're stuck in a whirlpool
    Sinking deeper, deeper then the reaper
    Don't give in the lie is in sin

    I know she's your loved one

    Come on come on
    I know the pains in your head
    Come on come on
    Its a tough thing livin'
    Hey hey hey
    I've seen it too
    Take a deep breath
    The healing will catch you

    I know she's your loved one
    "Shallow"

    What's the world living for
    A mere tomorrow
    Running blind I see
    The figures carry on alone
    Some painted plain
    Others black and grey
    Not knowing where to come from
    The undecided sink like stones

    Are you living, living life shallow

    Need no help now
    You've got a marionette for a head
    Desires drive you on
    Causing lights to stagger red
    The inner man cries
    While the soul dies

    One day will come
    And your life will be over
    I'll follow my lord to the prairie-o
    I found love that is never over
    When it's over it will never be over

    Are you living, living life shallow
    "Chucky"

    Chucky's on his way to London
    He's gonna find a new world there
    He turned away from his L.A. days
    And put a razor to his hair
    Toni's on the seat beside him
    Hoping for a visa stay
    If the gig don't come in London
    Chucky will be turned away

    And he says, "Tell me why, tell me why
    God gave me such an endless drive
    To fill my cup but my cup stays dry
    Oh tell me
    Tell me"

    Chucky's on his way to London
    Leavin' all his things behind
    We had to rent a U-Haul truck
    And stick it in a 5 x 5
    Toni doesn't know what to do
    Chuck is having second thoughts
    Is he goin' is he comin'
    Is Chucky on his way to London

    Chorus
    "G-g-g"

    One day I would like to be the judge
    Judge jury and the executioner
    To the ones that kill the unborn
    And to the men that seek after their own

    Jesus give me love
    Jesus give me understanding

    One day I'd like to kill the K.K.K.
    Hang them on the cross they burned today
    Would the killing of a bigot let me win
    Some times I'm as sick as him

    Chorus

    I'd like to molest the molester
    Hang him a rope above the world
    This man he's sick and he is a loaded gun
    He was molested when he was young

    Chorus
    "This Is the Healing"

    You've been seen with a stiff lip
    It's happening to the best when the pain grips
    You've been beaten by the bell
    In all that you do
    You thought Hell was a place one goes to
    But your Hell on Earth is true

    This is the healing
    Give me tears from all your bitter years
    This is the healing
    Salt the wounds, the healing will come soon

    You've tried to philosophize your pain
    But the hurts in your heart
    And not in your brain
    You could be hit by the Spirit
    And be made new
    You thought Heaven was a place one goes to
    But this Heaven on Earth is true

    Chorus

    Open your heart
