2) Tryin'
verse 1:
Lord I've tried to
Live my life the
Way You want me to
Time I try to
Realize my
Strength it comes from You
Thinking, praying, comprehending
What this life is for
Contemplating, apprehending
Truth forevermore
And I'm tryin'

Tryin' to live
Tryin' to live my life
The way You want me to, yeah

Tryin' to live my life (The way You want me to) (x4)
verse 2:
Do you know a
Way to grow that's
Physically unknown
Unexplained but
Still I claim ma-

Showing me the way
Right direction

Closer everyday
And it's tryin' (... to Prechorus)
verse 3:
Read your Word and
There I heard you
Take away my sin
All the while I
Reconcile my
Struggle from within

Do you want it to(o)?
Still I'm Tryin' (... to Prechorus)

3) Intrickasee
(In-trick-I-see)
(Intricacy)
Verse 1:
I look around, see a picture of pornography
I turn around, see an image of blasphemy
Don't sit around saying look what they did to me
One big fat hippopotamus hypocrisy
Chorus:
And still they keep chasin' me (x3)
With an intricate intimacy
And still they keep chasin' me (x3)
With an intimate Intrickasee
(Can you tell me where they come from?)
Verse 2:
Don't need to know what they know that they need from me
Just need to know my protection will always be
A shield from God that sees more than what I can see
Cause I don't know just how or why but still they keep chasin' me
solo, Bridge:
One big fat hippopotamus hypocrisy (x3)
Oh, bring it back the other way
Verse 3:
One big fat hippopotamus hypocrisy
Don't sit around sayin' look what they did to
I look around see an image of blasphemy
Can't get away cause it's always right in front of me

4) Let Me Go
Verse 1:
Gliding through a consciousness of feeling
Driven by a selfish greed
Tripping through a jungle of jealousy
Trapped in a dungeon of sinful need
Chorus 1:
Let Me Go
Set me free
You cannot have
My identity
I won't conform
To your evil ways
I've gotta choose
To live out my days
Pre-verse 2:
Let Me, Let Me
Let Me Go (x6 first time only)
verse 2:
The arms of anger are clutching at my feet
As I try to run and hide
The voice of sin is ringing in my ear
I must escape this senseless fear
Chorus 2:
Let Me Go
Set me free
Don't take away
My identity
I'm not for sale
So stay away
My life is not
A game to play
(Pre-verse 2)
Bridge:
Look into the eyes
Of the master of lies
The Truth I've received
No longer deceived
The Truth I now know
I know where to go
Let Me Go
(Solo, chorus 2, chorus 1)

6) Physical Existence Temporary
Verse 1:
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Listen to what I say, I say it everyday
Maybe a new place, maybe a new way
But the message is constant, forever unchanging
Speak the connection, dynamics is ranging
From a shout on the hill to the people everywhere
Whisper in the dark, barely even there
It is real it is God and He is the contrary
To this Physical Existence Temporary
Chorus:
Physical Existence Temporary (x4)
Verse 2:
Never, never, never,
Never underestimate the power of hate
Permanent energy from an unstable state
Repercussions far reaching but the message I'm preaching
We must stand close to the Eternal One's Teaching
Methods untraditional, Message unconditional
Infinite love and our sin was additional
Take away our pain from this tale of fairy
Physical Existence Temporary
Bridge:
Hey Jack, step back, watch the attack,
Straight up nothin' but the fac'(ts)
Rewind through your mind and you will find
A memory of a future time
Where living means giving and forgiving,
Yesterday today into
Infinity with the Trinity;
Christ Offers Peace Everlasting
C.O.P.E., He brings you hope, sharpens your scope,
Clean you better than soap on a rope, look
Here's the hook, I read The Book and it
Shook my sense of reality
Life is more than what it appears to be
Are you content with lack of serenity
In this Physical Existence Temporary

7) Pollution
Refrain:
Can't drink the water
Can't breathe the air
See the cloud all around
Hole in the sky
Where truth becomes lie
Silence in the midst of sound
Verse 1:
Liquid television
The flow of information
The message to which we're subjected
Is too political, gotta be corrected
Because the fish they all die
When the water's impure
Believe in the lies
We don't know what we stand for
Trying to swim
In a stream of confusion
The more we progress
The worse it gets, Pollution, Pollution
Verse 2:
Waves in the air
No color no noise, but they're still there
They carry the pictures and sounds
Never seen, never heard, yet all around
We turn on the tube
The information flows in
Flows straight through the mind
It comes out as sin
You are what you eat
What you drink and you breathe
The sights may be sweet
So was the apple picked by Eve
(solo, refrain)

9) King of the Jews
"Are you the King of the Jews?"
"Yes, it is as you say."
"What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is the Christ?"
"Crucify Him!"
Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company of soldiers around Him. They stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him, and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on His head. They put a staff in His right hand and knelt in front of Him and mocked Him. "Hail Jesus, King of the Jews!" they said. They spit on Him, and took the staff and struck Him on the head again and again.
They took off the robe and put His own clothes on him. Then they led Him away to crucify Him.
They hung Him on the cross. They placed a nail over His right hand, and drove it in.
They placed a nail over His left hand, and drove it in.
They placed a nail over both ankles, and drove it in.
Above His head they placed a sign, "This is Jesus, King of the Jews."
He hung there for many hours. His flesh, pierced, bleeding; His body beaten. From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land.
"ELOI, ELOI LAMA SABACHTHANI?"
"MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"
He gave up His spirit and at that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook and the rocks split. The tombs broke open and the bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.
"Surely this was the Son of God."
Many women were there, watching from a distance. They wept and mourned over the loss of Jesus.
As evening approached, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who had himself become a disciple of Jesus. Going to Pilate, he asked for Jesus' body, and Pilate ordered that it be given to him. Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and placed it in his own new tomb that he had cut from the rock. He rolled a large stone in front of the entrance to the tomb and went away. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb.
The next day the chief priests and the Pharisees went to Pilate. "Sir, we remember that while He was still alive that deceiver said, 'After three days I will rise again.' So give an order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, His disciples may come and steal the body and tell the people that He has been raised from the dead. This last deception will be worse than the first."
"Take a guard," Pilate answered. "Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how."
So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard.
After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.
There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men. The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen, just as He said. Come and see the place where He lay. Then go quickly and tell His disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see Him.'"
Upon meeting His disciples, Jesus said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."
After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, He ascended into heaven and He sat at the right hand of God.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead.

11) Pray Your Lips Off (Kolta Polka)
Chorus:
Pray your lips off
Cause God is paying the bill
There's so much to pray about
When you're in His will (x2), Hey!
I called my girlfriend
Just the other day
It was long distance
She lives in Zimbabwe
All I wanted
Was just to talk to my honey
But it cost me
A whole lot of money, Hey!
I called my parents
They live in California
I called to tell 'em
Hey man I gotta warn ya
My phone bill's gettin'
It's gettin' kind of high
My grades are good, I'm eating right
And I got clean underwear
Gotta go Mom, bye!! Hey!
I called my senator
To ask about my taxes
He said "if you have questions
Then you can surely fax us"
I really didn't like
What he had to say
I didn't vote for him anyway... Hey!
Last call I made
It was to Siberia
I said "Hey speak up man,
Cause I can hardly hear ya.
There is too much static
They should really fix these phones."
He said "Leave your name
And number at the tone." Hey!
I wrote my friend an e-mail
To see how he was doin'
I had the latest version
So I was really cruisin'
Everything went smoothly,
Then I started screamin'
Cause I got a message
From the Mailer-Daemon, Hey!
