Take Em Away
D G
Take 'em away, take 'em away Lord!
D A
Take away these chains from me!
D G
My heart is broken 'cos my spirit's not free,
D A D
Lord, take away these chains from me!
Verse 1:
D G
Some birds' feathers are too bright to be caged
D A
I know I'm not that colourful, but a bird just the same
D G
Open up your gate now, let me put down my load
D A D
So I can feel at ease and go back to my home.
Verse 2:
Sun beatin’ down, my legs can’t seem to stand
There’s a boss man at a turnrow with a rifle in his hand
I’ve got nine child, nothin’ in the pan
My wife she died hungry while I was plowin’ land
Verse 3
Can’t see when I go to work, can’t see when I get off
How do you expect a man not to get lost
Every year I just keep getting deeper in debt
If there’s a happy day, Lord, I haven’t seen one yet
Verse 4
Land that I love is the land that I’m workin’
But it’s hard to love it all the time
when your back is a-hurtin’
Gettin’ too old now to push this here plow
Please let me lay down so I can look at the clouds
Verse 5
Land that I know is where two rivers collide
The Brazos the Navaso and the big blue sky
Flood plains, freight trains, watermelon vines
Of any place on God’s green earth,
this is where I choose to die

Take Your Burden to the Lord
G C
If this world with-hold from you of its silver and its gold,
G D
And you have to get along with meager fare,
G C
Just remember in His word how He feeds the little bird
G D
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
G
Leave it there, leave it there,
D
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
G
If you trust and never doubt,
C G
He will surely bring you out,
D
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
If your body suffers pain and your health you can’t regain,
And your Soul is almost sinking in despair;
Jesus knows the pain you feel, He can save and He can heel
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
When your enemies assail and your heart begins to fail,
Don’t for-Get that God in heaven answers prayer;
He will make a way for you And will safely lead you through
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
When your youthful days are gone and old age is stealing on,
And your body bends beneath the weight of care,
He will never leave you then, He’ll go with you to the end
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

This Is My Son
Let the Spirit descend,like a beautiful dove
As it did on Jesus that day

And God's voice like thunder said this is my Son
This is my son in whom I'm well pleased
This is my only son
This is my son in whom I'm well pleased
This is my only son
This is my son in whom I'm well pleased

Wilt be with me to the end

What a friend we have in Jesus
(Sung to the tune of The Rose)
1. What a friend we have in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer.
2. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
3. Are we weak and heavy laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge;
take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he'll take and shield thee;
thou wilt find a solace there.

And it's the sight of the deserted
With your drawn breath you draw us near

When death comes slippin' in the room

You're gonna need somebody on your bond

I heard the voice of Jesus say
Come unto Me and rest
I found a way for me to lie down
Said lain upon His breast
D
When I was a gambler
Nobody would go my bond
Fell on my knees and began to pray
'Cause Jesus could go my bond

I came to Jesus as I was weary, wounded, sad
Found in Him a resting place
How He made me glad

Well, I've got somebody on my bond Lord

Your Life In My Lungs
I won't take anything I hear from you
And wield it as a weapon
In a war against the broken few
I'll go with anything that gets me off
This train of thought that boils down
To more useless lofty talk
I need your words on my tongue
I need your life in my lungs (2x)
