Mustang Molly

Lyrics:
Her friends they called her Mustang Molly
Her mother named her Molly Lynn
She knew the pull of sun-baked blacktop
Felt the tug of a westerly wind
Well, Molly, she was scared of nothing
Wrote her story with a rear-view wink
Saw adventure in the next unmapped horizon
Loved the thrill of a swim or a sink
And leaving was the easy part of driving
Leaving meant a greeting down the road
It was a chance to brush off petty complication
And start again where no one needs to know
Molly kept a list of people
Like a road map of shelters on the way
And when Molly came to town it was good time
She was dynamite and dancing for a day
And no one had to know when she was crying
She could be what they wanted her to be
And when the moment came for honest questions
Molly had another place for her to be.
And leaving was the easy part of driving
Leaving meant a greeting down the road
It was a chance to brush off petty complication
And start again where no one needs to know.

Kentucky

Lyrics:
Soldiers far from smoky Virginia found rest in Wilmore too
And though your heart home is prairie country
May your stranger’s feet find peace
In the warm banks of Kentucky
In the warm banks of Kentucky
Though you’re far away from home
And now its down, down to the Kentucky River
Where the blue grass and your young family grows
And the sky is wide for dreamers
Far from the banks of Kentucky
No you won’t be watching fireflies light the grass along I-80
And the summer heat won’t drown you where you stand
Now surrender means the roads will wind along a greener way
And the trail you walk will cross another’s land
And now its down, down to the Kentucky River
Where the blue grass and your young family grows
And the sky is wide for dreamers
Far from the banks of Kentucky
Hold your one hope tightly
Immigrants and strangers
You’ll never wander in this world alone
For now it’s down, down to the Kentucky River
Where the blue grass and your young family grows
And the sky is wide for dreamers, and lovers, and healers
Far from the banks of Kentucky

Fences

Lyrics:
On the weekend they mowed the grass down at the park
And after six months I met the neighbor down the street
You know that new church that plays its songs into the dark?
They put a fence up. The hallelujahs leave the yard
Sweet sweet Jesus. The hallelujahs leave the yard
I see the blessing all around me
And I don’t feel that blessed
I am praying for a happy ending
But it’s a sorrow in a sorrow all tangled in a mess
(It’s a sorrow in a sorrow maybe I just need some rest
It’s a sorrow in a sorrow from hoping for the best)
Do you know Tom? He had a stroke just last October
Now his one hand does the work for left and right
Little Mary, when her Momma works on Sundays
Walks the sidewalk. The hallelujahs leave the yard
I am listening. While the music leaves the yard
Let the singing people shout
Let the holy music out
With these hymns of joy and healing
Turn this numbing into feeling
I’m in hiding here behind my red front door
No one knows I’m in my winter unwashed clothes
Please don’t see me
Please don’t let me be alone

The Length of It
04:03
|

Lyrics:
Just a red balloon
In your sister’s hand
Well surprise, surprise
Tugged up in the fan
I wish this could be
The one and only time
Something breaks
You were calling me
With your blocks in hand
You had stacked ‘em see
I’m in adult land
I wish this could be
The one and only time
You feel small
‘Cause with therapy
And forgiving me
You might come to see
Some healing
But the length of it
If we must admit
Is we’re derelicts
And pretenders
You love Peter Pan
And his fairy dust
But your wings don’t work
Like you know they must
I wish this could be
The one and only time
Magic fails
I can’t guarantee
Kinder memories
Though I long to see
Your healing
But the length of it
If we must admit
Is we’re derelicts
And pretenders
We all know the ache
We all know what’s at stake
We’ve braced ourselves for trouble
Precious is the Hand
Holding us to stand
Pulling all His children from the rubble
From the rubble
With the love of God
And the risen Son
I pray you will come
To healing
When your whole world shakes
If His hand you’ll take
All the broken things
Will be mended.

Found

Lyrics:
Once a woman saw her Jesus in the dying of Calcutta
And the face she washed with water was not the face of the diseased
And once an inmate newly beaten for the lie he could not utter
Knew the soft light in the damp cell was the Savior at the door
You are found
Accidental interaction is her only hope and craving
For her midnight reputation bought the demon in her blood
Underneath a bridge in Boston, there’s a man without an address
Save a single square of cardboard beneath his nail pierced feet
You are found among the broken down
Found among the outcast and the poor
You are found in the heartache the anger and the tears
Found in the broken down.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
I have looked for you in closets
In the vaulted bright cathedrals
In the muted groans of huddled prayer
In the belly of the church
I have called for you in silence
In the town square of my penance
In the noise of public worship
In the clamor of my grief
You are found, You are found
You are found among the broken down
Found among the outcast and the poor
You are found in the heartache the anger and the tears
Found in the broken down.
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

Mercy

Lyrics:
Hear our cry for mercy
God of all the big and small things
Hear our cry for mercy
Darkness, sorrow flee before You
Hear our cry for mercy
Love of Heaven, here incarnate
Can the dust sing out Your praise?
Hear our cry for mercy
Hear our cry for mercy
Hear our cry for mercy
You have given all we’ve needed
You put strength into our bones
You have taken, You have weakened
You made hunger grip our souls
Father, Father, daily bread give
You’d not offer us a stone
You’d not offer us a stone
