Time and Time Again (Revision)

1.
The vine is barren, The weeds have grown, The wine has soured, Gather sweet no more, Mother father, gather grapes, For time to dine, Table set, with food and wine, Splendor in my Father's house, Oh, withered vine, lost in time, No more shall I gather thee, It's time to go, Time to go, A voice sweetly calling, It's time to rest, Yes, rest from your labors, So come, lie down a while, The vines have withered, Time to go, Time to go, Time to rest.

Coming Forth 06:23
If I am a man of God Let His rain quickly fall The sun it will be turned to dark Fire was cast into my heart I am not afraid I was made whole Unto the light I've sold my soul Powerful and undetained Straight is the gate, narrow the way I am not afraid, though trapped in this place Running for the door, I've found my escape He brought me forth, now I'm coming forth to you They cannot still time, the plan must come through Arise out of the mouth of hell Coming forth I will prevail No matter who stands against me I am mighty I am, I am coming forth, I am, I am coming forth, I am, I am coming forth, I am, I am coming forth, Here I am, upon the stage, The final act has begun, I pass through the curtain, Ready to play my part.
3.
Three 05:29
Three days, three nights, The storm, the wind, the flight, Aero speed, feet run swift, Three calls: come, come, come, Three calls: come, come, come. Come. The blot, the stain, Pain, red droplets, And the rain, red tears, Coming down, coming down, Coming down, coming down. Three locks of golden hair, Three braids in my hand, Tree, come to the tree, Forbidden fruit awaits you, Three locks of golden hair, Three braids in my hand, Tree, come to the tree, Forbidden fruit awaits you, Call, I shall loosen my locks, To the wind shall they fall, For in three days, I will lock you up, Mine you shall be, One, two, three, Mine, mine, mine.
4.
Lost 03:55
Among the crowd, just like them, Or was I, was I? Same words from my mouth, Same face, movement, stance, Thought I was my own self, But I was lost among the many, I felt alone, so alone, An empty cup on a shelf, Mirror, mirror on the wall, Who am I, am I at all? Answer me, my plea, Mirror, mirror please, I saw my image look back, And what was I in the view? Look hard, you will see, It's you, you, you... Lost among the crowd, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
5.
Holding Back 03:56
Holding back, Holding back no more, I've held back too long, Broken the hold, No longer holding back, A new creature, a new form, Fire in my mouth, I'm a storm, I rise up, wings ready to fly, My old flesh has died, Fly up, fly up, Holy mountain, Here I come, I'm on fire, I'm on fire, No turning back. Holy, holy, Holy, holy, Holy, holy. Holding back, Holding back no more, I've held back too long, Broken the hold, No longer holding back.
6.
Suffer the little children, To come unto me, You will never be forsaken, I see, Man has a short time upon this clay, As they ponder how to serve me, The days are swept away, The fears of the children have watered my land, Now the days are numbered as the sand, I wipe away your sorrow by bringing it all to end, Suffering little children, I am on my way, My way, hold on... The fears of the children have watered my land, Now the days are numbered as the sand, The fears of the children have watered my land, Now the days are numbered as the sand,
7.
Tenderly, I put the seed into the ground, Bowed to my knees, no sound, quietly, I observed the time, the place, Clouds above rolling by, rolling by, Clouds above rolling by, I saw The rain came, the rain, the rain, the rain, I waited on bended knees, Waited to see, I did, I did, My eyes seen past and into the light, Come forth, little one, I wait, I wait, I stood up by the garden gate, Tears from my face, Hit the ground, Hit the ground, To my surprise was revealed, An overcoming sight, The seed brought forth, Pushed its way through, In the garden of life, There was my love, my love, my love, My love, my Father, The Light, my Love, my Love.
8.
The world is a stage, And we are all actors, So I looked behind the curtain, Thus was revealed: The walls were living cells, The heart it beat in tune, A gaping hole poured forth vile, A darkness never seen before, I looked upon this horror, Tried to take it in, The smell of death and decay, Was mounting, pouring down, The sound of no tomorrow, The marching, pounding song, I was silent, still, Run, run, my mind said run! Run! I backed upon the stage, My fists clenched in mortal rage, And tears ran down my face, I screamed why, why, why, why? Then, my mind opened a door, Onward, onward.
9.
Tear it all down, what do I care? Rip it to pieces, it matters no more, A new day's approaching, Tear down that old house, A grander time awaits me, My master calleth now, I've burned down fields of folly, A child no more am I, So, rip it all from me, I need it no more, The master builder cometh, I'm under new construction, I've found my way out, So, build me strong now, Reconstruction, reconstruction, New man, new path, The way, the way, the way.
10.
I dreamed I stood tall on a mountain, And light reflected over me, I am, I said, crowned victor, So, I am as I stood, Brave and bold, In this time, armored no fear, I am with sword and shield, Never alone, Time and time again, I stand, I stand, Bold as I raise my sword, I speak a word, As power lights on me, No fear, no fear, Arise, go forth, Feet shod, sword tempered, Helmet sound, shield in hand, No fear, no fear, no fear.
11.
I am God, I am He, See all things, Look, behold, I am He, I brought it all to being, Dirt in my hand, As I walked I beheld, To invest in man, So I brought forth beginning, Light and dark, the days, Wet were surface deep, Clouds over me, So behold the sky it moves, My creation, my gift, A chance I gave to do the right thing, So, choose your course wisely, You never know, What kind of seed you've planted, Or where it's going to grow.
12.
Attention 05:14
Pay attention when the sky turns black, Once said, there's no turning back, And when you see the moon as red, Remember what your Father said, Pay close attention on this day, Be mindful of your way, Choices to be made, Four, four directions, Pieces broken, shattered, rain down, Run not when you hear the sound, Freedom cometh in strange ways, The trumpet's message gave sound, Arise, raise up your hands, Now, pay attention, Spirit see, my soldiers on their knees, Freedom walkers, army of God, Attention, warriors, The time is now, Sound the trumpet, Arise, go forth.
13.
Long Journey 04:35
My life, my life look, Have the days been too long, Or I see maybe, too short, My journey is not for naught, The train I hear it, Closer now, closer now, Oh, do I board it, Or just wait? The shadows lengthen now, The clock is ticking away, Sounds of long ago, Times, places, wait, I wait, It's been a long journey, Blood, sweat, and pain, The train is much closer, Have I wasted my time? Time poured out on me, Time slipped away, What a long journey, I stand here and wait.
14.
Fire 03:32
Fire burneth out hate, Fire in me, There's a fire in me, My spirit's on fire, So, let me dance to and fro, Spirit up and go, Let this fire light, Bring forth holy fire, Burn red embers, burn, I cometh, I stand, I'm on fire, on fire, I run through this pagan land, Burn away, The tin and dross, I'm here, I burned the cross, Power spirit, Take flight, Cometh day, Away night, Burn away, Burn away, Fire, fire, fire.
15.
No Point 03:40
The can was opened I crawled out, The box was opened, jump, shout, I arose, and then I came forth, I came forth wings and all, Madness, mayhem, Mother and child, Walled up creature, Madman's mind, Shaken, I'm here, Shaken, I'm here, The can was opened I crawled out, The box was opened, jump, shout, I arose, and then I came forth, I came forth wings and all, To and fro, to and fro, Here I am, here I am, To and fro, to and fro, Here I am, here I am, God forsaken empty shell, Here's my story, My tale to tell, (Fly up) x 40 Fly up, fly up.
16.
The Armor 04:01
Back, back, back, Back, back, back, Touch not the anointed, Do the prophets no harm, Sound loudly the alarm, Caution to the wind, No such thing, I'm carrying the message appointed, Jump on my steed and go, My armor has been polished, It shines in the night sky, No fear is upon me as I ride, The trail is before me, Though dark and cold, I'm rising in the spirit, Beware to those before me, I've waited all my life, For this moment to go forth, So I ride, sword at my side, I ride. My armor has been polished, It shines in the night sky, No fear is upon me as I ride, The trail is before me, Dark and cold, I'm rising in the spirit, Beware to those before me.
17.
Be careful, little ones, I fell asleep, felt at ease, My fire went out, The giant came, And saw me there, Beware, little children, Remember the embers red, I dreamt I was safe there, And warm and content, My eyes opened, yawn I did, Looked up to see his head, There in the cold still, He was standing large, I yelled, called in fear, But he just stood over me, So, now, protect your flame, From the wind and the rain, Ever so on guard, To protect your fire.
18.
Bombarded chained mind, Only moments of sanity, time, Like a barren wasteland, My mind, So many things my mind has seen, Rippling waters confusion unto me, Confusion like a stream rushing, Hard cleanse come, Hard cleanse come, I waited for the spiritual rain, To open my mind, release the pain, Cords they crossed became confused, Strand by strand, stand by stand, They taught me well on the screen, How to walk and how to breathe, They call my name at day's end, Said, "Here is what you need," So I looked my feeble mind, Confusion, Confusion, Cleanse me holy, Cleanse me now, Unbind the bound one, now, now.
19.
Reaching 03:59
Empty cup, fill me up, Tear stained face, lacking grace, Looked through the fogged, glass window, At the door, here I am, reaching, Closed my heart, my mind, to find, I'm reaching, still reaching, Empty air, but reaching, And I turn around, I turn around, What do I find, what do I hear? I waited so long for answers to come, I'm numb, I'm numb, I'm numb, Awkward and still, I want to feel, I'm searching, I'm searching, Time waits on no man, And no man's land is where I stand, Reaching, Lift me up, Arms stretched out, I shout, Come unto me, I don't see, I'm searching.
20.
Although I'm in the darkness crying, Hope's never close to lost, The glory of my god surrounds me, And all my fears are gone, Although I'm in the valley bleeding, I will gladly pay the cost, The voice of the shepherd guides me, And he will lead me home, And though the shadows hound me, They can't touch my soul, And though death surrounds me, His spirit's in control, The shadow of death, It has no power, The shadow of death, Will flee in that hour, The glory of his coming, Will send it away, The face of the night, Can't stand in the day, The shadow of death, It is nothing, The Lord will be back, Death will have no victory.
21.
Tall tree, did you talk to me? You shake your leaves way up high, Yes, there, are those eyes? Eyes watching me, Calculating, Evaluating, Look if you must, I fear not, I know it's dark, Once, you spoke to me, Yes, from a tree, I was scared, Even terrified, But no more, I will testify, That spell you cast over me, As you spoke from the branch, You waited patiently, Yes, but no more, Then, I took flight, Were you there, were you there? Matters not, I am, I took flight, Not you, not you, not you.
22.
Defeated 03:32
End to end, full circle Again and again, One door, then another, Where will it end? I start in one direction, But here I am again, Sun up, sun down, Here I am again, I will not be defeated, I'll start all over again, Left or right, I don't know, Surely I'll find the start or the end, Time is not what we know, Or the path, where shall it go? Direction, where? I go, I know, full circle, Here I am again, Here I am again, Defeated.
23.
New Wine 04:17
They sang the songs so sweetly, Hands high in the air, The hands of God upon them, They danced on the new wine, Lead from land uprooted, Never stopping along the way, For the new wine was upon them, Every step of the way, They gathered from four directions, Wind at their back, They worried for nothing, As they marched on, The power, the power, Was mounting, Worshiping their Lord, Crying, "Father, we hear you. Father, we hear," Stating their declaration, Arms high in the air, The new wine on their tongues, Shouting, "Hallelujah, Hallelujah, hallelujah, Hallelujah, hallelujah, Hallelujah."
24.
O Harvester 07:38
It is the darkest hour, The time has passed away, No more will the sky be blue, It is the end of days, Out among the field, My hands are cracked and bruised, I feel the falling rain, I hear the thunder boom, I feel a change coming, I hear the distant rumbling, I feel the earth shake, The heavens are about to break, O Harvester, I beg thee come, And reap what you have sown, The time is near, the hour is here, So, save us from our woe, Gather up the last good fruit, And curse this rotted tree, Jesus, come, and pluck us up, And burn these wicked weeds, Burn them, burn them down, Ahead is the hardest part, I know it's my part to play, And though, I will suffer much, The tears will be wiped away, A fool builds his house on the sand, And drinks from the bitter sea, The smell of death is strong, And the smoke makes it hard to see, I feel a change coming, I hear the distant rumbling, I feel the earth shake, The heavens are about to break, O Harvester, I beg thee come, And reap what you have sown, (Reap what you have sown) The time is near, the hour is here, So, save us from our woe, (Save us from our woe) Gather up the last good fruit, And curse this rotted tree, (Curse this rotted tree) Jesus, come, and pluck us up, And burn these wicked weeds, (Burn these wicked weeds) Burn them, burn them down, I've been drenched in autumn rain, The wind blows through my hair, Blinded eyes and muted skies, The savor of despair, Carried on through desperate odds, Fire burns inside, The rotten tree beneath my feet, I will not denied, O Harvester, I call you down, Do what must be done, Take revenge upon this world, For every drop of blood, We call to thee, we beg you see, Our blood calls from the grave, Our final cries, our sacrifice, Jesus, we must be saved, Harvester come, harvester come, Harvester come and save us, Harvester come, harvester come, Harvester come and save us, Harvester come, harvester come, Harvester come and save us, Harvester come, harvester come, Harvester come and save us!

about

My first album, "Time and Time Again" has always been somewhat frustrating for me. The songs, I felt, were strong, but at the time I was still in the developmental phase of recording. This led me to a three year process of recording and re-recording parts as I upgraded parts of my studio, became better at playing the parts, or just changed my mind.

This was a very turbulent time of my life, in many ways.

At this point, I am more confident in my abilities and my setup. So, I thought I would re-record a song or two to see how they sounded. And I just ended up doing enough of the album to warrant fully re-recording it.

Anyway, this album is a new, alternative version of my first album. Thank you for listening!
