CHALLENGING CHRIST


Will you be my sanctuary, Refujesus? AMERICAN SOUL

Jesus, Jesus help me
I'm alone in this world
And a fucked-up world it is too

Tell me, tell me the story
The one about eternity
And the way it's all gonna be
    
Wake up, wake up dead man
Wake up, wake up dead man
. WAKE UP DEAD MAN


There's a rope around my neck
And there's a trigger in your gun
Jesus, say something!
I am someone, I am someone. SILVER & GOLD


Jesus this song you wrote
The words are sticking in my throat
Peace on Earth
Hear it every Christmas time
But hope and history won't rhyme
So what's it worth?
This peace on Earth
. PEACE ON EARTH

Oh to sing this song makes me angry
I'm not angry with you
Is that all?
Is that all?
Is that all?

Is that all you want from me?  IS THAT ALL?

Jesus could you take the time
To throw a drowning man a line?

Peace on Earth
Tell the ones who hear no sound
Whose sons are living in the ground
Peace on Earth. PEACE ON EARTH 

Jesus, were you just around the corner?
Did you think to try and warn her?
Were you working on something new?

If there's an order in all of this disorder
Is it like a tape recorder?
Can we rewind it just once more?
 WAKE UP DEAD MAN

I'm in the waiting room
Can't see for the smoke
I think of you and your holy book
While the rest of us choke
Tell me, tell me, what do you see?
Tell me, tell me, what's wrong with me? WHEN I LOOK AT THE WORLD
