Laying Down The Lord.mp3

A wise friend once explained to me: in Hebrew the word “Lord” means “the Law”. The Law is: do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

LYRICS
I find it hard to be
Believe
Be leave
Believe
Three kings would come to see
The birth of me
Once more… bearing “Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh”

Poor ole Pa didn’t get to poke Ma
Didn’t even get to poke Ma
Poor ole Pa

Not like I could invent “The Rule”
I’m just a fool
If you treat others like they treat you
We’ll get through
See the heavenly view?

It’s why I find it hard to be
Believe
To Believe
Believe!
Three kings would come to see the birth of the likes of me
Of the likes of me

The first time ya feel all alone
When they drive the nail through the flesh and bone
Drives the point home
They drive the point home

I… I… I’d been crucified
I’d been crucified
At first I thought I’d died
Turns out… I reside
I reside
In the house of the holy Lord
In the house of the holy Mother
The holy ghost
Hope to die

I had to try
I couldn’t give up and die
Had to try

Yet, still
The freewill
Of the three kings
I just couldn’t believe
Three kings would come to see the birth of the likes of me
Amazing
Three kings

I can’t tell a lie
That’s why
I try
Try, try, try
To do unto others
As I’d have ’em do to I

I try to keep in eye
As I’d have ’em do to I

When heaven and earth collide
… hope I’m along for the ride
They say it happened on Christmas Day
Maybe we can get it to stay that way

When heaven and earth collide
Angels sing as they cry
Tears of Holy joy supplied
The place is here… the time is nigh

Hopefully, something pretty
A gift to you and all your kin

From the country to the city
The dense to the witty
May goodwill come back to you again and again

Listen to the angels sing

LYRICS
I get so excited when I think it might
Snow Christmas night
And, if I really believe
Maybe Christmas eve

I get so excited when I think we might
Make Hanukkah bright
Let the light relieve
For eight days and a night

I get so excited when I think we might
Get together… unite!
All religions of The Book
Take on the peace look

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — A E7sus4 C#m7 Aadd9 C#dim

Written and recorded December 9, 2012 in Chester County, PA. The song is intended to bring people of every religion together. After all, Jews, Christians and Muslims all believe in the same God.

Why Don’t Christian’s Celebrate Hanukkah?

And she (virgin Mary) who guarded her chastity: We breathed into her, and We made her and her son a sign for all that exists.
— Chapter Anbiya, verse 91. Holy Koran

And indeed We gave Moses the Scripture, that they may be guided. And We made the son of Mary and his mother as a sign, and We gave them refuge on a high ground, a place of rest, security and flowing streams. And verily this your religion is one religion, and I am your Lord, so fear Me. But they have broken their religion among them into sects.
— Chapter 23 verses 49 50, 52, 53 – Koran

LYRICS
I wish I could shop until I drop
Alas, there’s nothing I can do
I get the shopping blues

Wish I could get that “best price” pop
Get a rush like a bunny… hop, hop, hop
Alas, there’s nothing I can do
I get the shopping blues

No pause to contemplate the (environmental) flop
My Christmas wish — stop, stop, stop

LYRICS
Very thankful you gave us the day
And, I’d be more than happy to do it again
Thankful to make it all this way
And, I’d be more than happy to do it again

An opportunity of a lifetime
A gift of time that I can call mine

Quite thankful for the day and the night
And, I’d be more than happy to do it again
Thankful for the might of your light
And, I’d be more than happy to do it again

An experience of a lifetime
An existence that’s more than fine

LYRICS
Taking a second look
I should have known you were a crook
Looks like now you’ll be a page in The Book

When you try to runaway, lie and hide
From your responsibilities
You invoke your own reciprocity
Causing grave disabilities
A mark on your history

Once upon a time,
Your story invaded mine
And, it looks like you’re a page in The Book

It may not be too late to change your fate
Seek forgiveness for your sin and be born again
Then, this scary tail may have a happy ending

Raise the vibe while you’re alive!
Be the climax to the story
With your new found glory
Forevermore our story
In The Book

Faith in hope
Hope in faith
I have hope in hope
Faith that hope holds true

Within you skin’s underneath
Bare the soul that’s within you
Release the love from within the bloke
Faith that life’s not a joke
Hope that mankind learns to cope

Hoping Faithfully

Shy of pride
Fashion of compassion
String as an oak
Weaving threads into rope
Bringing peace to Earth
Faith in hope
Hope in faith

Spreading smiles and mirth
Hoping to spread the faith

I’m totally devoted to you
If there’s anything I can do?
Totally devout

And, I’ve been promised the Promised Land
And, I’ve been blessed to understand

There’s still much tadoo to do
Living every minute of serving you
Totally devout

Still the weather can spill a chill
Halloween, Thanksgiving… then, it’s Christmas, again
Did you know they’re already talking snow?

Still the whether-or-not slipknot
come clean with thanks… giving beyond Christmas
Bring out cheer more than once a year
Reindeer and mistletoe… comfort, joy and happiness
Did you know they’re already talking snow?

Eternal Spirit… may you share in it

When I look into their faces
I can see the traces
Of peace, love and harmony (sweet harmony)

When I feel I’m in their places
Empathy overrides races
There’s peace, love and harmony (sweet harmony)

When I look into their eyes
Quite often there’s a surprise
Give peace, love and harmony (sweet harmony)

When a child smiles God gives praise
Let’s see how many smiles we raise
With peace, love and harmony (meet harmony)

LYRICS
Just when I thought I’d have to rise from the dead
The Great Spirit filled my head
From what I can tell, many are the forms of an angel

Brings you back to being young
Takes you far toward being sung / unsung

Relieves excessive pressure
Spares you from the drill
Lengthens the time you measure
Increasing the quality of your fill
