In the service of the Lord

(Chorus)

In the service of the Lord, Lord, Lord

In the service of the Lord 

In the service of the Lord, Lord, Lord

Living in the service of the Lord

When I did not want to walk no more

I started walking in the service of the Lord

(repeat)

(Chorus)

I could not stand a life of just Me, Me, Me

I started living in the service of the Lord

(repeat )

(Chorus)

When I did not want to Live no more

I started living in the service of the Lord

(repeat )

(Chorus)

I started

Living

In

The Service of

The Lord

Amen

The Power of the Flower

I believe in the power of the flower
but it can  trip you up
when you overuse and abuse
then it's not enough
then it's on to stronger stuff

Delicate minds of all vintage
On this ground carefully tread
Use what works for the body
and not so much for the head

Big Business
Big Money
Big Industry
What grew for free
Making air clean
Now Big and Dirty

Shatter and vapes
what does it take
chasing dragons now
instead of chilling out.
Wow, man. Wow.

We have to be careful
When we use medicine
Want to be right living
Want to do the right thing

Temperance Break
is all it takes
to get it back to full power
I believe in the power of the flower

Another Decade older and What have we done?

Another Decade Older and What have we done
More pollution and waste and wars that can't be won

No one left but what we've become
Another decade older and What have we done

Songs that cannot be unsung
we are twisted and wrung
You are right and you are wrong

Take this bad mind
and put it down
Just Stop
Take a breath
Stop moving
everyone

Take a deep breath
Stop all the running
and consuming
until all is consumed.
What do you pay for those shoes?

Lets see how long it will take
When they are not using everyone
To do what they say can't be done

Lets turn away
Stop giving it power
Take one day
Take one more hour
It is all the same
We have to stop
Giving it power
This insatiable growl
It's here to devour
Yours, mine and ours
rushed into the final hour
Feed the right wolf in ourselves
and in one another

Do not feed the spirit that cannot be satisfied.
A parasite of the soul and of the mind
Pack up in the night and leave it behind
