Here are the lyrics to some of my favorite songs. These are some of the most awesome lyrics I know of...

Song 1:
Beautiful, Scandalous Night
Written by: Derri Daugherty and Steve Hindalong
Originally performed by The Choir (1992)
Also done by Smalltown Poets (2000) and Third Day (2003)

Go on up to the mountain of mercy To the crimson perpetual tide Kneel down on the shore Be thirsty no more Go under and be purified Follow Christ to the holy mountain Sinner sorry and wrecked by the fall Cleanse your heart and your soul In the fountain that flowed For you and for me and for all (Chorus) At the wonderful, tragic, mysterious tree On that beautiful scandalous night you and me Were atoned by His blood and forever washed white On that beautiful, scandalous night On the hillside, you were delivered At the foot of the cross justified And Your spirit restored By the river that poured From our blessed Savior's side (Chorus) Go on up to the mountain of mercy To the crimson perpetual tide Kneel down on the shore Be thirsty no more Go under and be purified (Chorus)

Song 2:
The Lust, the Flesh, The Eyes & The Pride Of Life
Written by: Mike Roe
Originally by the 77s (1991)
Also done by Smalltown Poets (2000)

Well, I feel Like I have to feel Something good all of the time With most of life I cannot deal But a good feeling I can feel Even though it may not be real And if a person, place or thing can deliver I will quiver with delight But will it last me for all my life Or just one more lonely night The lust, the flesh The eyes And the pride of life Drain the life Right out of me Well, I see something and I want it Bam! Right now! No questions asked Don't worry how much it costs me now or later I want it and I want it fast I'll go to any length Sacrifice all that I already have And all that I might get Just to get Something more that I don't need And Lord, please don't ask me what for The lust, the flesh The eyes And the pride of life Drain the life Right out of me And I love when folks Look right at me And what I'm doing Or have done And lay it on about How groovy I am And that I'm looking grand And every single word Makes me think I'll live forever Never knowing that they probably Won't remember what they said tomorrow Tomorrow I could be dead The lust, the flesh The eyes And the pride of life Drain the life Right out of me

O Praise Him (All This For a King)
Written by: David Crowder

Turn your ear to Heaven and hear The noise inside The sound of angels awe, the sound of angels' songs And all this for a King We could join and sing 'All to Christ the King!' How constant, how divine This song of ours will rise Oh, how constant, how divine This love of ours will rise Will rise... CHORUS: O praise Him! O praise Him! He is Holy! He is Holy, yeah!
