lyrics
Ah Lord God I am not skilled in any work or art
Stop your mouth, you say and own the image of your God
Well I resigned behind a blank stare in my front row seated lawn chair
And I find it numbing how the world seems to get along without me
And in the hands of a servant-God
Who can keep a give-nothing love
Oh sleeper, you tire him, get up and be reminded that you are a child of a king who wouldn't leave you with nothing to bring
Loved ones all, we are the work of one who died so we would know
So stand tall, get on your knees and pour out all that you would own
Those things inside aren't for your hiding, they're there to show his shining
To say you had nothing would be lying, it only takes some trying
And we all are called to run creatively on, the great and the small
Stop your mouth, you say and own the image of your God
Well I resigned behind a blank stare in my front row seated lawn chair
And I find it numbing how the world seems to get along without me
And in the hands of a servant-God
Who can keep a give-nothing love
Oh sleeper, you tire him, get up and be reminded that you are a child of a king who wouldn't leave you with nothing to bring
Loved ones all, we are the work of one who died so we would know
So stand tall, get on your knees and pour out all that you would own
Those things inside aren't for your hiding, they're there to show his shining
To say you had nothing would be lying, it only takes some trying
And we all are called to run creatively on, the great and the small

"Quite apart from that this album is extraordinary on its
own merits there are few artists willing to expose their talents to such a sparse instrumental background, and you need to listen to it and discover its beauty for yourself."
