Fossil Fish Net
break free from the doctrinal chains
denominational frays in this tapestry maze
tear it all down! has Christ's body been divided?
lay aside our pride
and forget the battlecry we've sung against our own kind
untie the knots 'round our hands and feet
open up the doors, realize there's neither Jew nor Greek
get up and free yourselves, the earthquake has broken the cell gate
adjust your vision and follow His angel
outside of 'blissful' ignorance
where are your eyes now
where are the body & blood of Christ
drop to your knees and repent of this sin
no longer closing eyes to Scripture again
no longer below reproach at the pulpit in sin
no longer what tickles the ears of our visitors
no longer this seeker friendly hush-hush religion
where nothing's the truth, just a lot of mush so we still feel good
dust off your Bibles, follow in the ways of the Bereans
crucify this fleshly denominational heresy forever
and never take it down from that tree
about face, repent, embrace a dying world in need

A peaceful chorus
Another day ending on a pleasant note
One more cloud of gray gone from our sky
for your joy is music to my ears
like a choir of angels singing that you're safely home
Strings and woodwinds join the chorus of your song
while the heavens sweetly darken
(Happy Valentine's Day, Dedge)

Mark 13:22
hail mary
lullaby
holding hands
in pergamum
constantine's
holiday
bodies up to the sky
with martyrdom
stacking high
the new religion
crucify
say Christ is dead again
and the dark age downcast
breeds a modern day
not just another day
this is a new age creed
with the Bible molting
in a cage
another hail mary for me
oh, rosary

Crawling highways
I'm taking it in
taken like a bitter pill
taking it cause I love it no matter how silent we remain
for every letter is a mile closer to your hands
but here I am, three thousand miles of distance between me and you
and there you are, where I can only dream of the someday-you-and-me
I'm taking it in
taking it like the bitter pill
taking it in like crawling a highway with tunnel vision.
And still the bitter pill of the longing inside.
I'll remain, thousands of miles away from you
and you'll stay there, where I can only dream of arriving someday
I'm taking it in
taking every precaution not lose my direction
it's worth every painful mile

The Lord knows our frailties. He is aware of our sins and struggles. Yet neither do they astonish Him or turn His face away. His eyes are continually upon us for our sin and shame has all died with His Son Jesus. By Him turning His gaze away from His only Son, He turned and looked intently upon us, and He sees our weary, weeping eyes, and desires for us to rest.

I can't, who can
I can't wipe my eyes faster than I am crying
and the distance here is greater than I can handle
I can't say that I can hold you when your hands are cold
and this feels like the pain is in the unknown
I can't run to you tonight and reach you by the morning
and this feeling of being lost has tied my feet
I can't see beyond the gray skies
and hear beyond the thunder, but I know who can.

don't, it's done
don't feel lost
he's gonna find you
he's gonna grab your hand
don't feel lost
even if you are
even if you can't see the road
even if the trees can hide the moonlight
don't feel lost
even though you feel the silence
even though the loneliness is everywhere
don't feel lost
Deirdre don't feel lost
your future is not up to them
though ahead the path is a lonely hollow
you now walk the road that Jesus walked before you
don't feel lost
cause He walked this way with all the weight of a cross
and He has lost His life and found your future

Cure for the distance
I feel like we must cure this distance.
How many thousands of miles, again?
We've waited our whole lives for this.
I wish I knew the when and how.
I wish I had the answers.
I wish you were here with me,
or I, over there with you.
Because I wake up with your name on my lips.
And I'd wait to follow you around eternity in Unity,
I suppose that God has only given us the wait.
And we will have to wait for this.
This is worth every minute.

When we meet, we wont depart
When we talk
We don't say much
But we don't fight much
Aint it something
We don't say much
But our talks are unperturbed

Still I'd like to talk more
Cause I miss you even when I'm with you
Because we just drown out all the emotion
And pretend that we aren't even going there
élan is somewhere, someplace lonely
you and I will find it
and you know when we meet we wont depart

Hey kids! Here are a few pointers from your local public school!!
Your lusts are so easy to come by.
If you steal virginity, "planned parenthood" picks up the bill.
We can't stress enough the virtue in: if it feels good do it.
Have you decided not to keep your children?
We've got garbage cans full of them behind our abortion clinics,
go ahead, we'll take those inconveniences off your hands.
We know that the important brain cells are all between your legs,
so by the time the doctor takes out your trash,
we'll have plenty of condoms at the pep rally for your "healthy experimenting."
By the way, we'll be awarding prizes to anyone who can tell us
who coined the virtuous catch phrase, "Turn on, Tune in, drop out."
If you get bored with sex, try an "alternative lifestyle." It's completely normal!
Also, try a few religions, as long as you wont go near Christianity.
And if you see a man who calls Himself Jesus Christ,
don't trust him. He only wants to rob you of your fun!
He likes to tell people what to do!
We've had a hard time keeping His invasive 10 commandments out of our school.
Just remember... if it feels good do it...
And it wont cost you a thing
because your children will pay for all the recreation later.
We hope you continue your educational journey even into college.
Insincerely, -Your Buddy, the Public School System
