DRACULA:
AM I NOT TO BE HAPPY?
AM I NOT TO SEE THE DAY?
WHY WON’T GOD COME DOWN FROM HEAVEN
TO SHOW HIS PEOPLE THE WAY?
WHY IS THERE SO MUCH SIN?
CAN’T THEY UNDERSTAND THE TERROR FOR THEM IN?
IS IT SO HARD TO HIDE THE LIGHT?
AND BRING THIS TOWN INTO EVERLASTING NIGHT.
TOWNSPEOPLE:
SIN! LIFE! BLOOD! LIFE!
GUN! LIFE! SCREAM! KNIFE!
THIS IS NOT THE WAY!
THIS IS NOT THE WAY!
WHY CAN’T THIS DAMNED OLD TOWN
FOLLOW OUR HOLY FATHER’S WAYS?
WHEN WILL THE SPIRIT SHOW US
THE TROUBLE THAT WERE IN?
SHED SOME LIGHT UPON US
MAKE THEM REALIZE THEIR SINS!
DRACULA
SHED SOME BLOOD! SHED SOME PAIN!
TO SHOW THEIR ONLY NAME IN VAIN
MAKE THEM SEE! MAKE THEM SEE!
THIS IS NOT THE WAY!
TOWNSPEOPLE:
SIN! HATE! BLOOD! HATE!
GUN! HATE! SCREAM! FATE!
THIS IS NOT THE WAY!
THIS IS NOT THE WAY!
WHY CAN’T THIS DAMN OLD TOWN
MAKE HOLY OUR OWN NAME?
WHEN WILL GOD COME DOWN AND SHOW US
THE TROUBLE WE ARE IN
SHED SOME TRUTH UPON US
MAKE THEM REALIZE THEIR SINS!
In today's world we all have so many fears.
I have been full of them for the last few years.
I know the Bible says not to be fearful but have joy.
I know it's right, and that takes a lot of work, Oh boy!
Yesterday is gone, but the fears from it remain.
I remember those fears, plus those from today, a pain.
Tomorrow is not here yet, but I even fear it coming.
Even though I go through the day most of the time humming.
I shouldn't be fearful, but should try to remember this.
That God in His greatness, knows not time and please don't miss:
He was there yesterday, He's here today, and guess what?
He's in tomorrow already...so I tell myself a lot.
To sing this song and keep myself reminded where....
"Fear Not Tomorrow, God is Already There!"
* To hear this song go to www.youtube.com and search for "Fear Not Tomorrow"
by the Collingsworth Family...Listen to the words of Carolyn Atkins...Believe me...it will be
worth your time and effort!!!
O Lord My God
Creator of the universe
Master of all things seen and unseen
Who was is and is to come
The great I Am who became a man
Who chose out of love to come dwell with men
To teach the path that leads to life
To show us how to win this fight
My God is the tower my shield and strength
Lily of the valley
Jesus the Christ whose name we carry
Redeemer to sinners
Our hope for the gleaning
Deliverer to the tempted deceived and lost
Call on his name trust in his power
Father to his children all who believe
The Word made man who laid down his life
My God is the tower my shield and strength
You turned water into to wine
you gave sight to the blind,
you split the red sea, your the truth undefined
lord you are good, you provide my every need,
your a god who is bigger, than any mountain or tree,
everything i got, comes from the god in me,
he's the sunshine in my life, through him i got the victory,
he is so miraculous, with words i can't express,
he's the truth and he light, to follow him is the best,
his love for me is undescribable, although i mess up, he's so reliable,
he's there for me, through this an that, Jesus always has my back,
he never leaves me out to hang, to Jesus im his main thang,
i serve a god who is above all others,
who cares for me, like the care of a mother,
he is the best, no, i would never serve another

The money is all dried up like the grass on the side of the road
I said the money's all dried up like the grass on the side of the road
feels like dragging a heavy load
accross the the earth spinning out of control
run by people that have no soul
aint know doctor gonna kill my pain
feels like our world is gonna burst into flames
my God how I wish it would rain
no work today
soon I'll have no place to stay
because I can't even rent this cheap
their gonna put me out on the street
my wife my kids and me
and I can't wait until my God claims
eminent domain
my God how I wish it would rain
is anybody else feeling my pain
I guess this is what happens
when you charge poor people usury
and all of our lenders are guilty
now how do you like the penalty
stiffen your neck and your gonna find
that this is only the beginning
now all the tax moneys thrown out and wasted
and I'm out on the street stone cold and naked
think your heaven wont be my pain
now the money all dried up like the grass on the side of the road
my how God I wish it would rain
let the humble receive their rights
