Pecans

There’s a hole in ground that I been digging
Gonna build my house on firm foundation
And I’ll sweat and bleed and cry in the shaping
And I’ll savor the taste as they mix on my lips
Will you bury me by the pecan tree?
At the back of the yard about 3 feet deep?
Will let my skin mingle with the dirt?
Do worry about me, baby it won’t hurt!
It’s not a life that I been long living
But I’m old enough to know I’ll be sinning
And I ain’t stopped but I been learning
To know & live like I’m forgiven
I stole from the Lord, I lied to my face
I made my baby cry, I’m a disgrace
These calloused hands can’t match my heart
There’s no blood in my veins, I’m a living corpse
This life ain’t mine that I been living
It was brought for price I been hearing
I’ve learned enough to know I’ll be fighting
Till the day I die I’ll be dying
There’s a hole in ground that I been digging
Gonna build my house on firm foundation
And I’ll sweat and bleed and cry in the making
I’ll die with a smile as they mix on my lips

Light

It’s a big big sky
On a dark dark night
Specs of light litter the view
An expanse so grand
And man so small
do you care at all?
My soul gets dark.
You seem so far.
And the weight of life is more than I can bear.
The weight of life is more than I can bear.
My Child, please
It’s in your weakness that my rest is found
Give me your fears ii
And lay your burdens down
This is why I bled
I suffered and died
To give meaning to these tears you’ve cried
I suffered and died
And I know what it’s like
I suffered and died

Dust

The grass will wither
The flower will fade
We will grow weak
Our bones will break
We are but dust and ashes
We are but dust and ashes
God's word is forever
He's our fortress and strength
God is infinite wisdom
He's the only way
Father, Son, Holy Spirit
Come heal our broken spirits, please
We are sojourners
How swift are our days
Life's like a vapor
So we gladly say...
That we are but dust and ashes
Hopeless and broken glasses
But God saw our sinful actions
Sent Jesus to die for our sins
And one day He is returning
And all things will be restored
And we won't be dust and ashes
We will reflect the light
We will be just like Jesus
God will be glorified

Tears
06:06
|

|
A time to be born
And a time to die
A time to mourn
And a time to smile
We’re all from dust
As dust we’ll go
So guard our steps
And in the flame make us gold
Because You Promised That,
The pain will come to an end,
And All tears will Be dried
God’s always had a plan,
Our futures bright.
Who can condemn?
Our Jesus died
And He was raised
To bring us life
Yet here we are
Our faith is weak
Show mercy God
To your hurting sheep
Chorus
So when the troubles come
And fears arise
Set your eyes
On the One who made the skies
The one and only Jesus Christ

Passport
02:59
|

|
I picked up my coffee
on my way
to find a place
to pass the day
and try not to waste what I've been given
See, I used to sit inside
And think of all the things that i
needed to do,
and feel the world upon my shoulders
And that's when I'd rather be
Anyone else but me,
And just pick up my passport and leave

Muddy Plots Durham, North Carolina
The Apostle Paul wrote, "If I must needs glory, I will glory of the things which concern mine infirmities." People boast in many things, and the Apostle Paul boasted in his short-comings, and God's gracious willingness to overcome them. I am nothing, dust and ashes is all I am (hence the name:), and thankfully so. If any good things come from me, it is by the grace of the God that made me. ... more
