God's Truth Will Always Stand
His truth will always stand
Though I be tossed about
By the winds of doubt
His truth will always stand
Though I close my eyes to faith
Then lie to myself that I am safe.
His truth will always stand
No matter what I do
However I am blue
His truth will always stand:
His Son's died in our place for all our sins
Past, future, and the ones we're in.
His truth will always stand:
He is a righteous but forgiving all powerful God
He can make something out of a dirt clod.
His truth will always stand--
So I will forget all which does not stay
And hope in the one who is for always.

Is There A Legal Ground
Is there a legal ground?
One can stand on to feel safe and sound.
Is there a legal ground?
One that can be found that's not shaking around.
Is there a legal ground?
One that is near,
Not to be feared...
And if one should fall,
A solidness is clear!
Is there a legal ground?
Anywhere.
One understood.
One that is shared.
Is there a legal ground?
One that is cemented...
Making feelings of it different,
With a jumping up and down...
Packing heavy weighted pounds.
Is there a legal ground?
Around...
To be found!
Is there a legal ground?
Around...
To be found.
Is there a legal ground?
Around...
To be found.
Is there a legal ground?

Safe
[verse 1]
Here I am alone with You
Quietly I talk to You
You said the truth would set me free
So here I am surrendering
(pre-chorus)
I know I can let your promise be my hope
And I know until You take me home
[chorus]
I'm safe (I'm safe), safe 'cause You love me
Safe (I'm safe), safe all because Your name
Has power to calm the ocean
When everything changes I'm safe
[verse 2]
My heart is overflowing
With peace beyond all knowing
This love is deep, it shelters me
And I'm safe within Your reach
(pre-chorus)
I know I can let your promise be my hope
And I know until You take me home
[chorus]
I'm safe (I'm safe), safe 'cause You love me
Safe (I'm safe), safe all because Your name
Has power to calm the ocean
When everything changes I'm safe
[bridge]
Though the odds are stacked against me
Though I'm running out of time
My heart is breaking
But I know You are mine
So I let You see into me as
You hold me in Your hand
My heart is on my sleeve
I'm safe because You understand
You understand
[chorus]
I'm safe (I'm safe), safe 'cause You love me
Safe (I'm safe), safe all because Your name
Has power to calm the ocean
When everything changes I'm safe

Stand My Ground
I Can See
When You Stay Low Nothing Happens
Does It Feel Right?
Late At Night
Things I Thought I Put Behind Me
Haunt My Mind
I Just Know There's No Escape
Now Once Its Sets Its Eyes On You
But I Won't Run
Have To Stare It In The Eye
Chorus
Stand My Ground, I Won't Give In
No More Denying, I Got To Face It
Won't Close My Eyes And Hide The Truth Inside
If I Don't Make It, Someone Else Will
Stand My Ground
It's All Around
Getting Stronger, Coming Closer
Into My World
I Can Feel
Thats Its Time For Me To Face It
Can I Take It
Through This Might Just Be The Ending
Of The Life I Held So Dear
But I Won't Run
There's No Turning Back From Here
Chorus
All I Know For Sure Is Im Trying
I Will Always Stand My Ground

Safe And Sound
The common mistake is to forget
And concentrate on your neverthought
The common mistake is to forget
I've remembered the part in your book
So I know exactly what is going on
Exactly what is going on
I don't think I know
Exactly what is going on
I think I know too much for myself
You're safe and sound
Until you hit the ground
You know it's a long way down
You're safe and sound
Until you hit the ground
You know it's a long way down
The common mistake is to forget
I always forget I forgot to remember
It's my common mistake
Exactly what is going on
Exactly what is going on
I don't think I know
You're safe and sound
Until you hit the ground
You know it's a long way down
You're safe and sound
Until you hit the ground
You know it's a long way down
You know it's a long way down
You're safe and sound
Until you hit the ground
You know it's a long way down
You're safe and sound
Until you hit the ground
You know it's a long way down
You know it's a long way down
I guess it's a long way down
I know it's a long way, it's a long way

Higher Ground
Walk me over this situation
Let the suns light warm my face
Once again the times are changing
Once again Ive lost my way
While the words of acient poets
Fall like dust upon my shoes
Greed has grabbed me of my vision
Turned my heart from higher truths
So take my hand and lift me higher
Be my love and my desire
Hold me safe, in honor bound
Take my heart to higher ground
I have walked too long in darkness
I have walked too long alone
Blindy clutching fist of diamonds
That I found were only stones
I would trade the wealth of ages
For a warmer hand to hold
Though the path of life is narrow
But it leads the streets of gold
So take my hand and lift me higher
Be my love and my desire
Hold me safe, in honor bound
Take my heart to higher ground
In this world we move through shadows
Never sure of what we see
While the truth abides between us
Come and share the truth with me
So take my hand and lift me higher
Be my love and my desire
Hold me safe in honor bound
Take my heart to higher ground
Ooh, ooh

A Safe Man
A SAFE MAN
WITH A SAFE SMILE
SEEMED SO SAFE TO THE TOUCH
A SAFE MAN AS TO WHOM I I SAW AS MY FATHER
SO SAFE OR SO I THOUGHT
MY SAFE MAN
MY SAFE FATHER
NOT SO SAFE
MY SAFE FATHER WHOM DID THINGS THAT MADE ME FEEL INDANGERD
ON THAT NIGHT HE STOLE MY DIGNITY &+ MY SELF WORTH
MY SAFE MAN
MY SAFE FATHER

I Stand Up
Youll never lose me to temptation.
Fighting the devil and I beat the dragon too.
Im at your rescue; Im your faithful one,
If its the last thing that I ever mean to do.
Im in deeper than you could know.
The wise in me wont let it go.
You can count on me, guarantee.
I stand up, I stand up,
Believe in myself.
(if you love somebody, stand.)
I stand up, I stand up,
Give me a little respect.
(if you need somebody, stand.)
Out of the shadow, yet Im alright.
Its not as easy as I know it used to be.
I dont have time to look behind me.
I know the truth and its the truth that set me free.
One more heart to heart to live for;
One more time to stop the war,
Inside of me; in spite of me.
I stand up, I stand up,
Believe in myself
(if you love somebody, stand.)
I stand up, I stand up,
Give me a little respect.
(if you need somebody, stand.)

Washing Machine
Words and music by michelle branch & jenifer hagio
Your eyes they look so bright,
A funky flair in my appetite,
But theres no room for you,
My feet are on the ground,
And my head is in the clouds,
But you still cant break through,
Whatcha gonna do.
Im not just gonna stand around,
Waiting for my lips to be read,
Falling through the cracks in the ground,
My feelings need to be said.
Flowing like water in a crimson melody,
The orange plastic sun is shining,
And the truth so hard to see,
The rain of your existence if falling down on me,
And the soap suds spread like a disease from my washing machine.
Im not just gonna stand around,
Waiting for my lips to be read,
Falling through the cracks in the ground,
My feelings need to be said.
Im not just gonna stand around,
Waiting for you,
Falling through the cracks in the ground,
And Im hoping that youll make your next move,
That youll make your next move...
Im not just gonna stand around,
Waiting for my lips to be read,
Falling through the cracks in the ground,
My feelings need to be said.

Stand Your Ground
Everyonell try to put you down
Everyonell try to tell you no
If youve got a dream inside
Youre the only one who can know
Dont let nobody own ya
Just say one day Ill show ya
Revengell sure feel nice
If inside youve paid the price -
Chorus:
You know it and youve gotta stand your ground
Youve earned it - no one can cut you down
Theyll try to get what they can
When youre strong, everyones your friend
Guard the jewel youve found
Youve gotta stand your ground
Come on everybody clap your hands
Doesnt it feel good to take a stand?
Music is my only release
Gotta fight for peace
Fight for the beat
Whether you want for yourself or for others
Stand up for your sisters and brothers
Just do what you wanna do
No one can say whats right for you - oooo!
Chorus
Yo, fred! check this one out!
Rap:
You know you feel helpless on your own
Swallow your pride - dont you go it alone
Dont you run away from what is right
Stand your ground - stay there and fight
The only police are in your mind
You gotta work - now work now double time
cause runnin only lets em get the best of you
So stand your ground
Do watcha gotta do.....
Yo, ira!
(you know it) youve gotta stand your ground
(youve gotta stand your ground)
(youve earned it)
No one can cut you down, down, down, down
Theyll try to get what they can
When youre strong, everyones your friend
Guard the jewel youve found
Youve gotta (you know it) stand (stand)
Youve gotta stand your ground
Youve gotta stand (stand, stand) yeah!
Stand your ground
Theyll try, theyll try, theyll try
Guard the jewel youve found
Listen up, listen up (listen up)

Don't Let The Bastards
They're killing babies in the name of freedom
We've been down that sorry road before
They let us hang around a little longer than they should have
And it's too late to fool us anymore
We've seen the ones who killed the ones with vision
Cold-blooded murder right before your eyes
Today they hold the power and the money and the guns
It's getting hard to listen to their lies.
Chorus:
And i've just got to wonder what my daddy would've done
If he'd seen the way they turned his dream around
I've got to go by what he told me, try to tell the truth
And stand your ground
Don't let the bastards get you down
Mining roads
Killing farmers
Burning down schools full of children
Fighting communism
Chorus:
And i've just got to wonder what my daddy would've done
If he'd seen the way they turned his dream around

Take A Stand
I see you hide
Do you have pride
Afraid to share what's inside
you've been walked right by
a real nice guy
overlooked and shoved aside
can't hear your voice back in the crowd
move up fornt and shout out loud !
take a stand !
take a stand, say what you feel
be who you want, but be for real!
voice your opinion,
don't jsut sit still
speak your mind at your free will
take a stand !
stand your ground
don't let the world push you around
take a stand !
stand your ground
don't let the world push you around !

As Ugly As I Seem
I am as ugly as I seem
Worse than all your dreams
Could ever make me out to be
And it makes me want to scream
When it's halloween
And the kids are laughing
The rogue is a bank he's never broke
But worth as much as a joke that no one is laughing at
Can you believe some things are not
Appealing and there's a spot
On the ceiling of my childhood bedroom
And can these dreams you can't imagine
Will never match the vision
That you had decided for me
You are to take away from me
Things that are mine and it's not your right
Out that you'd wouldn't expect to find out
Can it be that I don't want what you want?
And the only thing I could care for
Is a place in a home that is safe and warm
Safe and warm, safe and warm, safe and warm
Judge yourself if you feel the need
Just let me known to be
In search of the truth myself
There is a drop of blood on the ground
And it seems to me that it's not my kind
And I can't be sure if it's yours or mine
I am as ugly as I seem
Worse than all your dreams
Could ever make me
Could ever make me
Could ever make me
Could ever make me

We're Not Alone Anymore
I got down on myself it looked like I was falling off the shelf
It was the wrong direction
I got way behind searching inside everybody trying to find
My own reflection
But I got something to say so get out of my way
'Cause I'm not all alone anymore
Better sound the alarm Stand your ground Raise your arm
'Cause you're not all alone anymore
I got out of control I figured there was a lock on rock and roll
And I lost the combination
But you better beware I'm used and abused I got nothing to lose
And I'm back from my vacation
But I got something to say so get out of my way
'Cause I'm not all alone anymore
Better sound the alarm Stand your ground Raise your arm
'Cause you're not all alone anymore
Stand up We're not alone anymore
Stand up
Look up We're not alone anymore
Look Up
But I got something to say so get out of my way
'Cause I'm not all alone anymore
Better sound the alarm Stand your ground Raise your arm
'Cause you're not all alone anymore

Can't Stand To Lose
John Cowan, Rusty Young
Warner Chappell (BMI) / Warner Chappell/Music Cabin Music (ASCAP)
If you can't stand to lose
Don't stand in the way.
Hey don't you think it's time to say?
Tell her the truth now, don't be afraid.
Tell her she's the only one
You can't stand to lose.
It's alright if you're feelin' like
There's something that you need to say.
'Cause the only words that she hasn't heard
Are the very ones that stand in your way.
So just let your heart tell her what's on your mind
Even though you're afraid of what she might find.
If you can't stand to lose
Don't stand in the way.
Hey don't you think it's time to say?
Tell her the truth now, don't be afraid.
Tell her she's the only one
You can't stand to lose.
