This Again
Copyright 2003 Ken Goding
The pain of failing God right after He has done something wonderful is a terrible feeling. This song tries to show how I felt when this happened.
Another big breakthrough
Another big loss
Every step that I take
I must run to the cross
Another little sin
Another regret
I receive such grace
And throw away what I get
Chorus:
You've filled me so full
It seems that I'm bursting
Yet I fall on my face
And once again I'm hurting
I don't understand
This nature of mine
I'm safely in You
And then over the line
A few thoughts allowed
God a little bit careless
With the old man in me
Now it all seems so worthless
Whatsoever is pure
Whatsoever is true
On these I must think
And I need to pursue... (chorus)
But I will live for You...
I will live for You...
Live For You
Copyright 2002 Ken Goding
Written long before This Again, I found that the two songs flow together really well. I added the lines from the chorus at the end of This Again so they can be a "two songs in one" type of thing.
I've messed up again
I ask You to forgive
I know this is not
The way I should live
I'll never be perfect
I know that for sure
Is it worth it to try
When I cannot be pure
Pre Chorus:
I have peace in my heart
But turmoil in my brain
Even that which is good
Still has traces of pain
Without You I'm worthless
I know that is true
Still I feel like I'm slipping
And I won't make it through
Chorus:
But I will live for You
I will live for You
No matter the cost
No matter my sin
No matter the problems
That come from within
I will live my life for You!
Brought back from the brink
Of unthinkable acts
Depression and anger were gone in a flash
I wish that were true
For it took a long time
Before I finally found
Peacefullness was now mine
There's no turning back
I have to go on
My reason to live
Will never be gone!
Miracle Wizard
Copyright 2002 Ken Goding
A parody of "Pinball Wizard" by the Who
Ever since I was a young boy
When I first received the call
I've tried to go the right way
Though I've had many a fall
Brought back by the same one
Who changed Apostle Paul
Healed the deaf, dumb, and blind
And He's been crowned the Lord of All!
I've stood there like a statue
Remembering the dreams
Trying to make sense
Of all that I have seen
Struggling with the past
And trying not to fall
But it doesn't really matter
I've been touched by the Lord of All!
He's a miracle wizard
With power in his fist
A miracle wizard
Who makes all things exist
Why do you think he chose you?
(I don't know)
What does He see that's good?
When life's full of distractions
His presence bodes me well
'Cause I've been perfectly happy
And I've been through living hell
His covering protects me
I have no fear at all
My trust is in the One
Who has proved He is Lord of All!
He's a miracle wizard
With power in his fist
A gentle wizard
Who makes all things exist
If you need someone to touch you
He's better than the best
You simply ask Him in
And He will do the rest
You'll never meet one like Him
He's waiting for your call
Jesus is the answer
He's the Lord and King of All!
I got the idea from another site, where I got the mp3 as well, that's why the source button.
Flashback
Copyright 2001 Ken Goding
A flash of blonde
But now it's gone
Is that the girl
I used to know?
A flash of red
I see inside my head
The image is there
But she, who knows where?
A flash of grey
Every night I used to pray
She'd return to my life
And she did, like a knife
Chorus:
They each did me good
But never like they should
Unreachable to me
How far away I cannot see
But every pain and loss
I bring back to the cross
And lay it at Your feet
Till my life is made complete
A flash of white
A smile like a light
She walks away from all
Heedless to my call
A flash of brown
A halo like a crown
Yet living in a lie
All truthfulness has died
A faceless name
Nothing there but pain
The victim of a rape
Now seething full of hate
Chorus 2x
A flash of blood
It comes back like a flood
A past of fear
Death was ever near
They each played a part
And remain in my heart
A reminder of my past
Memories that last
Help!

I don't understand
It's all too hard
I hear Your command
But it just won't work
You've given Your word
And I willingly hear it
But it cuts like a sword
And it's so hard to bear
Chorus:
In all my trials and tests I know
You're there by my side
In the midst of my darkness
You'll always be my guide
You're a lamp unto my feet
The light that shows my way
But in spite of all I know
I really need to say
Oh Jesus, please show me what to do
I'm ready to ignite
The explosion inside me
And it's so hard to fight
Just giving up on You
I know I should never
Just throw it all in
The results are forever
And I can't pay the cost
Chorus
There's a certain situation
That I am in right now
So I'm venting my frustration
And letting it flow free
I'm gonna go insane
From all that's happening
Oh Lord please ease my pain
And show me what to
do
Chorus
I have a couple small MP3s of accapela singing at my alternate Geocities site
