Title: Some Awesome Lyrics
Post by: Oldiesmann on April 04, 2004, 09:43:16 PM
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




Song 3:
O Praise Him (All This For a King)
Written by: David Crowder
Performed by David Crowder Band

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!

Turn your gaze to Heaven and raise
A joyous noise
Oh, the sound of salvation come
The sound of rescued ones
And all this for a king
Angles join to sing
'All for Christ the King!'

How constant how devine...

CHORUS [2x]

Oh la la la la la...

O pra-aise Him!
O pra-aise Him!
He is Ho-ly!
He is Ho-ly!

How infininte and sweet
This love so rescuing
Oh how infinitely sweet
This great love that has redeemed
As one, we sing...

'Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
He is Ho-ly!
He is Ho-ly!' [2x]

O pra-ise Him!
O pra-ise Him!
He is Ho-ly!
He is Ho-ly!

Oh, La la la la la la...

'Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!
He is Ho-ly!
He is Ho-ly!'

O pra-ise Him!
O pra-ise Him!
He is Ho-ly!
He is Ho-ly!

Oh la la la la la la...
