Break outside of a lyrical lounge
Where writing is lacking and never profound
There’s another way to say what’s inside
of a beautiful mind before it goes dry
My pad and pencil are asleep by the fire
They’ve been awake all night
Waiting for me to write
I gotta know you
I wanna know what you are saying
Wringing my hands
Wracking my brain
Crossing the line
Going insane
My pad and pencil, a sword in my hand
They’ve been awake all night
Ready and willing to fight
My pad and pencil, like me in His hands
I’m awaiting his words
Receiving his plans
I gotta know you
I wanna know what you are saying
I wanna hear you
I will listen while I’m praying
Binding the liar who curses and kills
Loosen the heavens so hearts can be filled
Living stones will never be scattered
Break down the wall, barriers are shattered
I gotta know you
I wanna know what you are saying
I wanna hear you
I will listen while I’m praying,
Vocal fills:
God You’re good, God you’re glorious
It’s time to listen
Listen for the name of Jesus
(Pray ay ay, Pray ay ay, Pray ay ay)
Lord, I will listen, listen while I pray

Scars
04:22
|
|||
|
Every tongue, every tribe and nation
Have played their part in abomination
So many crimes have scarred the lands
Forgiveness comes from nail-scarred hands
Blood-stained flags too heavy to wave
Stone cold bodies down in the grave
The Kingdom stands, nations fall
There is one who is Lord of all
The hands that created the stars
Still have scars
The Kingdom stands, nations fall
No force of darkness or plan that’s been made
No evil worship, or sin will remain
Gather my children and listen to me
These are the scars that set your souls free
Blood-stained flags, too heavy to wave
Blood that covers, all who are saved
The Kingdom stands, nations fall
There is one who is Lord of all
The hands that created the stars
still have scars
The Kingdom stands, nations fall
There is one who is Lord of all
The hands that created the stars
They still have scars
My hands are still engraved
with my love for you
How can I say it?
How could I love you more?
The Kingdom stands, nations fall
There is one who is Lord of all
The hands that created the stars
Still have scars
The Kingdom stands, nations fall
There is one who is Lord of all
The hands that created the stars
Still have scars
The Kingdom stands nations fall
The Kingdom stands nations fall

Judas Is Dead
05:38

Spinning around in my head
Turning all night in my sleepless bed
The fragrance filled the room
A broken jar of sweet perfume
Tears on his feet, wiping them dry with her hair
How can this be this be seems like a waste to me
Why can’t I sleep
Turning all night in my bed
Spinning around in my sleepless head
The last thing on his lips
Just before the final kiss
Judas are you
Betraying the son of man with a kiss?
Judas are you
Betraying the son of man with a kiss?
I can’t return, nothing’s the same
Nothing’s gonna change,
I am to blame
This is the end, I killed my friend
I have his blood on my head
Judas is dead
I was one of the twelve
I gave it up to enrich myself
I have been deceived
The prince of darkness entered me
I want another chance to start again but
This is the end, I killed my friend
I have his blood on my hands
I can’t return, nothing’s the same
Nothing’s gonna change,
I am to blame
I’m the one, he said all would be saved except for one. Thirty pieces of silver for the Messiah… innocent blood? I won’t be saved. I must do this. I’ll take my life. I’ll take my life!
The crack of the neck
The dangling spine
The weight of his body that hung from the vine
The branch is bending, the limb finally breaks
The end of a man who made the mistake
Controlled by the snake.
Judas is dead
Judas is dead
Judas is dead
Judas is dead
Poor Judas

Faith Is Tested
03:44
|
|||
|
Stand outside in a rainstorm
The wind is blowing up the place
Must return to a shelter
Heart is ringing wet, tears are streaming down my face
And my comfort is lost,
My faith is tested
Open up the seas
Part the skies
Do the same in my life
Open up my weary eyes
Let me see you as you are
Open up my weary eyes
Let me see you as you are
Open up my mouth to worship
Seems my inner peace is gone
Crashing thunder, prayers like lightning
Left and right hand hold each other
Head is bowed, knees are screaming, “Stand up!”
Spirit says, “Stay down” (Stay down)
And my comfort is lost
My faith is tested
Open up the seas
Part the skies
Do the same in my life
Open up my weary eyes
Let me see you as you are
Open up my weary eyes
Let me see you as you are
Vocal fills:
Lord your mercy, Lord your glory
Open up my eyes I wanna see the face of God
I wanna see the face of God, You’re my Lord
Your mercy, your grace, I love you Lord.

How Long
03:54
|
|||
|
Silence the voices in my head
Turn condemnation into bread
Hold me close and feel my soul
I need truth to play this role
How long, (Why) will this pain last
How long, (Why) will this pain last
How long, (Why) can this pain last
How long an outcast
Accusations from the past
Slow me down so I should fast
Urgent message must be heard
Heart of God, Living Word
The whole world is a stage
final performance marks the age
time has come, He’s on His way
Prepare us now, for that great and terrible day
Give your pain to me my burden is light
How long, (Why) will this pain last
How long, (Why) will this pain last
How long, (Why) can this pain last
How long an outcast
SILENCE THE VOICES IN MY HEAD!
Inspired by Psalm 13

River

Hope you don’t mind if I just sit beside you
I need a friend to confide in
There’s been some things that have happened
And resting near you seems to soothe me, soothe me
You’re so steady and you quench my thirst
As I see you overcome everything in your path, everything in your path
You move with force as you make your way
So graceful with power and strength
River, you inspire me, River you inspire me
Wherever you go you’ll always flow
River, you inspire me
River, be inside of me, your majesty has set me free
Wherever you go you share your soul.
River, you inspire me.
Hope you don’t mind if I just sit beside you
soothe me, soothe me
River, you inspire me, River, you inspire me
Wherever you go you’ll always flow
River you inspire me
River, live inside of me, your majesty has set me free
Wherever you go you share your soul.
River, you inspire me.
You are in a peaceful place for miles as you make your way
Like floating in an endless parade
Where memories of life are made, the trees are your colonnade
River, you inspire me.
You’re every river that flows to the sea,
from the top of the mountain to the center of me.
What will be will be.
River, you inspire me.

He's Coming (Remastered)
03:23
|
|||
|
You set your trap when there’s no light
You shut the lid and close it tight
You tell your lies and just relax
You make it up when there’s no facts
To shoot it up you heat your spoon
There’ll come a day it will be soon
The velvet touch that you desire
Should be replaced with a Holy Fire
Beat on your chest and understand
There’s no one righteous except one man
He’s Comin’, He’s Comin’, He’s Comin’… He’s Comin’
He’s Comin’, He’s Comin’, He’s Comin’… He’s Comin’
You make it up to suit your cause
You turn your back on Jehovah’s laws
He will return, thief in the night
Destroy the dark with blazing light
Hide in the rocks or in the cracks
The child on earth is coming back
He’s Comin’, He’s Comin’, He’s Comin’… He’s Comin’
He’s Comin’, He’s Comin’, He’s Comin’… He’s Comin’, He’s Comin
It takes us all, that’s what you’ve heard
It took one man, the Living Word
It takes us all, that’s what you’ve heard
It took one man the Living Word
He’s Comin’, He’s Comin’, He’s Comin’… He’s Comin’
He’s Comin’, He’s Comin’, He’s Comin’… He’s Comin’
The Living Word
He’s Comin’, He’s Comin’, He’s Comin’… He’s Comin’
He’s Comin’, He’s Comin’, He’s Comin’…
Isaiah 2: 10+11

The fire burned so hot when I fell in love with you
Every day, every hour,
nothin’ I’d rather do than talking with you
You overwhelmed me
Every need, every want was fulfilled by your name
Shackles fell from my life,
you took all of the blame, erased all my shame
I went through changes
Oh, Lord, I’m so scared
Think I’m fallin
Oh, Lord, you cared and you died for my sin
I let you in
So why am I failing?
Return me to the fire, to the fire, my first love
Return me to the fire, to the fire, my first love
Time stopped it’s count, the world around disappeared
In your arms I was safe from the things I had feared
I gave myself to you.
But then, not knowing why, but I think I know how
By choice, I turned away,
it’s so clear to me now as I willingly bow
in humble repentance
Return me to the fire, to the fire, my first love
Return me to the fire, to the fire, my first love
Return me to the fire, to the fire, my first love
Return me to the fire
Return me to the fire
Return me to the fire, to the fire, my first love

Randy has taken things up several notches AGAIN! He has always had some doom/sludge elements, but this album takes it to a different level! This album is HEAVY! The mix/production are top notch! The lyrics seem deeper & more introspective, like he sees things through others’ eyes & writes from that perspective. You can feel the pain, heartache, & struggle. But, he doesn’t leave you without hope. The lyrics are very relatable & bring a sense of relief knowing others feel the same emotions in life

Find Me In These Fields [remastered & re-imagined]
by Phil Keaggy - Deluxe Studio vocal albums
supported by 8 fans who also own “He's Coming”
"Find Me in These Fields" was one of Phil's releases where I sensed he was free to be himself, and that came on strong in every tune. As a guitar player I was inspired, and as a father with a young son "Gentle & Strong" tugged every heart string.
