The Shepherd 03:16
The Shepherd the wolves gather and dance around the well as their voices begin to swell with cries to the moon the shepherd guards his flocks by night holding his staff of light the sound of wolves reach his ears but he doesn't fear he’ll stand and fight until he dies to save the sheep's lives he'll stand to save their lives he wants to save our lives he's come to save our lives
2.
An Ancient Praise the ancients sing they sing glory unto you glory to the one most high we give you glory in everything we do the ancients shout their praise from the top of the mount in hopes that people will draw near and question what it is they hear the people say as they draw near what is this sound that is so queer these words that pour from their mouths who could they be about a fire filled their eyes as they began to recognize a name that they had never heard but that they’d known since birth YHWH YHWH be with us as we pray our father YHWH

Loss of a Son, Love of a Father looking down at the crumpled note in his hand covered in words spelling out what he cant understand said I’m sorry dad I hope you can forgive what I’ve done and that you won't quit calling me your son I never thought that I’d shoot down a man I never thought anyone would die by my hand so I’ve packed my bags on my horse and I’ve left you my gun said I'm not gonna kill anymore I swear that im done his eyes filled with tears as he tried not to cry and cried out into the night why son, oh why your mom and I did our best to raise you right but now she stays up crying into the night but the pain that you caused it doesn't compare to the love that you lost it doesn't seem fair so we’ll wait for you our only son because we love you no matter what we’ve done you’ll always be with us in our hearts the one place we’ll never be truly apart

The Cave of Wonders the gravel crunches beneath our feet eyes widen when sweaty palms meet but not enough to force the fog's retreat eyes open as it grows and the cave of wonders you lead me to was a pin prick darkness i couldn't get through careful chosen words to not upset you we squirmed into the dark the final straw was that frosty landscape where the overgrown path was the righteous escape I cut into the earth, but couldn't kill your claims that you can't surrender the choices you've made words weren't enough to drag you along even weightless as that worm eaten log one burst in the brightness, one swallowed by fog the twisted twine is now undone the blot on my life that my property left was a shivering pillar where i could see my breath soon transformed to warmth without regret as I gave everything away I wasn't afraid when death finally came no I wasn't afraid when death finally came I wasn't afraid when death finally came I met him with outstretched arms clearheaded, clear-eyed, and pockets emptied I found myself alone in the land of plenty with nothing but sugar sand to support me fumbled around for the rocks a place to stand rivaled every scene of my life before my eyes like that matte black screen a precious view this globe should see no way i could stay silent with scraps on my back and makeup on my face not a soul could see where the cracks were placed destroyed it all to erase the trace of a hope found in things of this world lava spewed words i thought were burning the facet dripped spit would have you turning rejection of the lesson was part of my learning changing you is not my task I surrendered all but these calloused heels a wind blown seed split traveling the trail no pact with appearance but with action make the deal where the spark of truth will be the fog came and whistled at the edge to claim its stake before my final step i beat it to the brightness with what i had left as i gave everything away I wasn't afraid when death finally came no I wasn't afraid when death finally came I wasn't afraid when death finally came I met him with outstretched arms but i felt the wind that storm from within so i can't pretend there's nothing after this that bleeding black blown through your hair has got you scared of what you're gonna miss you were chosen before the cracks in the earth had a chance to bust through their crust with bold excuses the importance you place on temporary things is painted on your face appearance is nothing words are dead time to turn to action instead all that you own is fading fast nothing on earth will ever last I wasn't afraid when death finally came no I wasn't afraid when death finally came I wasn't afraid when death finally came I met him with outstretched arms

The Calling of John there was an old man whose name had been forgot he lived on a farmland in a house full of rot he sat on his porch day in and day out he had forgotten what his life was about then one night he saw it dancing somewhere between the wasteland and the sky he said wait right there I'm coming it wont be long until I die the light grew brighter as he stood and stared and a voice rang out from the clouds it said now John please don't be scared but I've got more for you to do before you come around get up leave your things and go this isn't where you need to be and I promise I'll provide for you if you just get up and follow me John looked to the sky and asked why me I've hated my brother and I've stolen many things so what do you expect me to do cause when I hunger I don't look to you the voice answered in reply eat the nine fruits and you will be satisfied I'll give you everything you need if you just get up and follow me so wont you get up and follow me why don't you get up and follow me I'll give you everything you could ever need if you just get up and follow me

Song of the Blind Men tomorrow may never come today will never die the swelling air within my lungs screams out to voices on high so take my hand if you want to understand just open up your eyes and clear you mind and go with me the trees they sway under the sunset display the animals have all gone their way they're free the men will call after they've lost it all they no longer will stand tall among the trees the son has gone and you were wrong the blind men are singing their song they’re free

Cries of the Animals listen to sounds that come from the mouths of the beasts from days of old men and women gather round to see what has been found in the place where stories were once told the cries that break through they tear you down you do not understand what they say to you your lungs fill with air the people start to stare as you start singing and you sing hallelujah the crowd all looks around seeking the source of the sound of the song that plagues their mind and one by one they raise their arms in the sun they start to dance they cant keep still with arms lifted high they turn their eyes to the sky and join in the song and they sing hallelujah and they bow down they put their heads to the ground not by flesh they’ve been found but by the sound and they sing hallelujah we sing hallelujah
