Band Of Brothers

We come together in the name of Jesus Christ
Our fearless leader who paid the greatest price
To save us from our sin
So let us now begin
To raise an army to make the devil think twice
 
We are a mighty band of brothers
We are the army of the Lord
And we will battle like no others
Until his kingdom is restored
Yes we will fight with all our courage
Going to war in Jesus' name
And no matter what Satan tries
We will have victory just the same
 
We'll raise our banner so all the world can see
How Jesus came to set all of us free
The greatest story ever heard
Is written in his word
So let's tell what he has done for you and me
 
On this rock I'll make my stand
With the Spirit here to hold my hand
And through his love I understand
Just what we're doing here

Melancholy Way

The children are playing in the park
Having the time of their lives
Meanwhile, I'm sitting in the dark

Trying to find the will to survive

I'd give the world to have those dreams again
The promise of a time soon to be
But how do I keep on dreaming when
The ones I had have all abandoned me


I'm in a melancholy way today
I can't escape the feeling
And I don't know what to say
To hold the spirits of the past at bay
And make the sadness go away
 
There isn't any use in pretending
That things are ever going to change
To some tasks I have to keep attending

And others that I must rearrange

I gotta find a new reason for living
And that reason needs to come from within
I guess it has to start with forgiving
Myself so that the healing can begin

Road To Recovery

I don't know if I'll find peace
On this road I travel on
Will I feel the sweet release
When my demons are all gone

Will I recognize myself
When I see what I'll become
Or will it be someone else
It doesn't matter
It could be anyone

On the road to recovery
I don't know where it's going
But it's where I want to be
And the greatest discovery
Will be when I see
What is waiting for me
When I've finally been set free

I thank God for my friends
Cause I can't do this alone
They give me love without end
That I don't feel on my own

I'm beginning to learn
To live one day at a time
By the grace I'll never earn
As long as I accept it
It will be forever mine

Oh, pretty good is good enough
There's no point in beating myself up
For not being perfect when nobody can
Yes it's gonna be a struggle
And I know that I'll fall down
But I'll be lifted up by helping hands
