WE’RE ALL TERMINAL

Original lyrics by Stan C. Countz

VERSE 1
It’s a cryin’ shame; it’s more than criminal
We may be in pain or it may be subliminal
May be wealthy or poor, healthy or lame
But, either way, we’re all the same

CHORUS
We’re all terminal; we’re all gonna pass away
Could be tomorrow; could be today
Could be soon, late or right away
Morning, noon, night or day
Or when we’re old and gray
Either way, let’s watch and pray
That we may be ready on that day

VERSE 2
The sun may be shining; we may be crying in the rain
May be a trust baby, may be a bag lady
May be a bit more typical; don’t wanna be hypocritical
But, either way, there’s no denying
We’re all the same: we’re all terminal

CHORUS

VERSE 3
It can be a hard knock life; it can be pretty difficult
It can be full of strife or arbitrary and whimsical
We may be unknown or have fortune or fame
But we’re all the same: we’re all terminal

BRIDGE
Like dusty rose petals without any rain
When the dust finally settles, what will still remain?
Life is a vapor and it’s fading fast
Like the morning paper, it ain’t gonna last
Flowers may wither like the morning grass
So savor it while it lasts

And live each day as though it may be your last
‘Cuz the future one day will be the past
And before you know it, you'll be lookin' back
So take the time to laugh and cry
And don't let your dreams ever die

OUTRO
It’s a cryin’ shame; it’s more than criminal
We may be in pain or it may be subliminal
Could be unusual or a bit more typical
Relatively easy or a bit more difficult
But we’re all the same: we’re all terminal

CHORUS

ALL PUFFED UP / GET THEE BEHIND ME

Lyrics by Stan C. Countz

IT’S NOT BY POWER; IT’S NOT BY MIGHT
IN THE FINAL HOUR IT MIGHT SOUND RIGHT
BUT THERE'S A WISDOM FROM ABOVE
AND A WISDOM FROM BELOW
IT’S A CINCH TO FIGURE OUT
IF YOU REALLY WANNA KNOW

THE WISDOM FROM BELOW WILL TRY TO STEAL THE SHOW
THE WISDOM FROM ABOVE IS ALWAYS FULL OF LOVE
DOES IT TEAR DOWN WALLS OR DOES IT BUILD ‘EM UP?
DOES IT GIVE TO ALL OR IS IT ALL PUFFED UP?

HE DOESN’T LIE; HE DOESN’T FUDGE
HE SEES THE END FROM THE START
HE DOESN’T JUDGE AS WE JUDGE
HE SEES THE INTENT OF THE HEART

THE WISDOM FROM ABOVE BRINGS THE PEACE OF A DOVE
THE WISDOM FROM BELOW IS ROTTEN BUT EASILY MISTAKEN
IF WE WALK IN LOVE WE WON'T BE FORGOTTEN OR FORSAKEN
THE WISDOM FROM ABOVE DOESN’T PUSH OR SHOVE
IT'S FOR GIVIN’ AND NOT FOR TAKIN’
GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN...

THE WISDOM FROM ABOVE DOESN’T PUSH OR SHOVE
SAVING FAITH IS MEANT TO BE STIRRED BUT NOT SHAKEN
IT DOESN’T LIE OR FUDGE; IT DOESN’T HOLD A GRUDGE
IT’S NOT WHAT IT SEEMS TO BE; GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN

DOES IT TEAR WALLS DOWN OR DOES IT BUILD 'EM UP?
DOES IT BRING US DOWN OR IS IT ALL PUFFED UP?
DOES IT TEAR WALLS DOWN OR DOES IT BUILD ‘EM UP?
DOES IT CAUSE TO ABOUND OR IS IT ALL PUFFED UP?

THE WISDOM FROM ABOVE IS FOR GIVIN' AND FOR LOVE
SAVING FAITH IS MEANT TO BE STIRRED BUT NOT SHAKEN
IT DOESN’T PUSH OR SHOVE; IT DOESN’T HOLD A GRUDGE
IT’S NOT WHAT IT SEEMS TO BE; GET THEE BEHIND ME SATAN

DOES IT BUILD ‘EM UP? OR IS IT ALL PUFFED UP?
DOES IT SUCK YOU DRY OR DOES IT FILL YOUR CUP?
DOES IT TEAR WALLS DOWN OR DOES IT BUILD THEM UP?
DOES IT BRING US DOWN OR IS IT ALL PUFFED UP?

TO SAVE US HE FORGAVE US

TO SAVE US, HE FORGAVE US
Original lyrics by Stan C. Countz

Long before He made us
He knew He’d need to save us
When we were still in sin
He forgave us

Long before the fall
He knew we’d drop the ball
So He gave His all
To save us

Long before the manger
He knew we were in danger
He never knew a stranger
So He became our Savior

Long before the cross
He counted the cost
and paid the price
To save us

Before we were born
He shaped and formed us
He gave himself for us
And He forgave us

We turned our back on Him
Thought we could never win
When we were still in sin
He died to save us

Now we’ve been born again
So we could live for Him
And we could die to sin
And He forgave us
Before He made us
He died to save us

[Repeat and fade out...]

CHORUS
