Acquiesce - Stavesacre 

Even now your eyes are courting sleep
I’ll stay by your side as I have always been
Sleep tonight, may your dreams reveal my love for you
Beyond what I must do, do you know my plans for you

To separate myself from where my treasure lies
Then naked in this cold and lonely unforgiving life
Be stripped away of all delusions of the man I’d like to be at the moment
I am broken parts sure of only weaknesses with nothing left to show
No illusions left to hide behind
Burning clean has been both agony and absolute release
Can I hope to pass this test, is my destiny the wilderness

The hardest part of letting go
Is trusting you with everything
In laying bare my soul is truly seeing who I really am
Father what is man that You are mindful of him

Can I pass this test, is my destiny this wilderness

To stand alone against a life of wretchedness
Impossible to hope and so I plead
Your graciousness show me your glory
May my life reflect your presence
And never again find myself in anything less

The hardest part of letting go
Is trusting you with everything
In laying bare my soul is truly seeing who I really am

Father what is man that You are mindful of him…..

Fifty-Eight - The Prayer Chain

 

Lyrics:

He learned to run
when I learned to walk
left me with an empty hole
with no one to fill it
I stand in the doorway
waiting for arms to run into

the sky seems so far away
and the sun seems so dark today…

Take my fist
and hold it in your hand
Take my rage
and bury my pain
why won’t you love me?
why won’t you hold me?

Walk away, Walk away
the tears begin to say
But a kiss on my forehead
is all that I need
and one small caress
to know that you
still love me

the sky seems so far away
and the sun seems so dark today…

The Choir - Render Love (Audio)

An 80’s underground classic!

Lyrics:

Ash is what fools reap, war what they sow
What does a man gain if he loses his soul?
What can a man rule who conquers his world
Then falls out his window and loses his girl?

Render love
Let there be peace in the land
Reconcile woman and man
Lay down your weapons and lift up your fear

Stranger meet brother, pass the peace pipe
See in the man’s eyes no stereotype
Love waits at our door, the Spirit Divine
Sow it in your heart, reap it in mine

Render love
Let there be peace in the land
Reconcile woman and man
Lay down your weapons and lift up your fear
Render love
Hold out your hand, be the one
Reconcile father and son
Love is the reason you’re here

Render love to your world
Render love to your world
Render love to your world
Render love to your world

Render love
Let there be peace in the land
Reconcile woman and man
Lay down your weapons and lift up your fear
Render love, hold out your hand, be the one
Reconcile father and son
Love, after all, is the reason we’re here….
