Beat 05:10
BEAT Get down get back to the basics No spectators in the Human Race You take your chances…steer your own ride Keep your tank full of fuel from on high Narrow road…We’re always on the go Your hands on the wheel…keeping it real CHORUS Ain’t no such thing as coasting through life It’s all fast lane on an endless turnpike You crank it wide open till you’re burning up the street Laying down tracks to the rhythm of a Heavenly beat So sweet…Can you feel that Heavenly beat? One song one line we are singing So many melodies in everything You pick a tune and play it like you want Add another part…the work moves along Universal sound beyond here and now A symphony of time…The story sublime CHORUS BRIDGE (Push it to the limit (to the limit) to the limit) The drive is astounding…The will to survive Your heart is pounding…Your brain is alive Love is the leading…Got to run the course Truth is congealing…In poetry of verse (In poetry of verse) SOLO BRIDGE CHORUS © 2014 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

JOHNNY GOSPELSEED CHORUS You can call me Johnny Gospelseed…Call me fool As long as I can meet a need that will do I spread but a simple truth across the land Jesus’ love is calling you…His Kingdom is at hand This is not a fable…It’s just real life And if we’re not careful it will pass us by When our time is over and Judgment calls Will we rise with Jesus or will we fall? Someone’s got to tell it… and now before all hope is lost When the trumpet blows and the Master comes Can we pay the cost? CHORUS Hatred is a sickness…infects our world Get the Great Physician…He can bring the cure A shot of His forgiveness is a real good start A dose of loving kindness it heal a broken heart Follow His prescription for Godly living every day For a healthy mind and a healthy soul Jesus is the way CHORUS SOLO CHORUS CHORUS © 2014 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

AFRAID TO LOVE By Mychael John Thomas You’ve been hurt…Well I can understand Name one who has never been Tell me this…Would you refuse the hand Of one who would be your friend Jesus knows what you’ve been through He wants to set you free of it It’s a choice He’s leaving up to you Now what you gonna do with it? CHORUS Are you just afraid to love Maybe you’re afraid to trust Evil is what fear’s made of Don’t you wanna give it up Afraid to love…Afraid to love So you say that you can live alone Well I know where you’re coming from For a while you build a heart of stone You say you don’t need anyone Jesus knows everything you feel He only wants to ease your pain Take a chance on finding something real He’ll show you how to live again CHORUS SOLO BRIDGE He has not give us a spirit of fear But one by which we call Him Abba…Oh Father…For we are His children We have not reached the perfection of love If we’re looking for punishment Perfect love has no fear but rather expels it BRIDGE II Why are we wandering when someone is waiting to (Why… are we waiting) Show us the reason that we were created (We… were created) To walk in the Spirit…In truth of the Savior (Walk… in the Spirit with the) The way of Salvation in God’s love forever (Savior in God’s love forever) SOLO Afraid to love…But made for love He gave His love…To save with love © 1991/2014 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

Loaded Gun 04:40
LOADED GUN Child of sorrow child of woe Your world has tossed you to and fro Your violence is all you know How far will you have to go? All you wanted was to be loved by someone But you let the Devil hand you a loaded gun…Hey Hate filled citizens…Angry mobs Scream of justice but all they’ve got Lost innocents in chaos Street fighting that will never stop True justice only comes from God’s own Son But you let the Devil hand you a loaded gun BRIDGE Well the Devil has no power If we refuse to play his game We can stand till the final hour In Jesus’ Holy name Governmental policies lost in sin Preaching war to every foe and friend Power breeds corruption…While truth you spin Still you lie to us until the end All your judgment should be coming from God above But you let the Devil hand you a loaded gun Yea…Don’t pull the trigger Loaded gun…You’re time is coming Shhhhhhh © 1994 / 2014 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

RETURN TO REASON By Mychael John Thomas I watched the television for a while tonight A classic Western movie flashed before my sight As I remembered all those feelings of my child I sat and wondered when did everything become so wild? We’re living in denial of what’s right I saw police arrest a man in his front yard He had a gun…He said that life was just too hard His wife and children cried and watched him ride away They would be missing him but they’d be living one more day I think it’s safe to say he’ll break their hearts CHORUS Consider well your ways (Heat of the moment) For choices made in life (Bear consequences) Affect Eternity for each one (Be sure your motive of decision) Consider well your ways (Pursue the knowledge) So you don’t lose your mind (And Holy wisdom) Sin’s only pleasure for a season (Don’t lose your edge) Return to reason (You have your freedom) SOLO An FM voice said twenty years ago today Where were you then as this old song began to play Where are we now? And is there hope we’ll ever see A true revival of the life of love that used to be? I still believe that we can change our way CHORUS © 1994 / 2014 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

Law & Order 12:16
LAW AND ORDER By Mychael John Thomas I. THE MASTER PLAN Narrator: Johnny was born to Christian parents Who loved him every day They took him to church nearly every Sunday To teach him Jesus’ way They told him son you must always remember Obey the Law of the Land Always seek the Lord and read your Bible And someday you will understand the Master Plan Johnny was a boy in the early 60s When his parents started him to school Every morning he would say the Pledge of Allegiance And try to learn the Golden Rule The teacher always read a story from the Bible And then she’d teach the Law of the Land She spoke of truth and justice…The American Way And tried to help him understand the Master Plan Johnny spent his spare time drawing pictures And listening to the radio He liked to watch the lines moving to the music When he let his mind go The people in the neighborhood always encouraged They said he had talented hands They said always work hard…get an education And someday you will understand… II. PROBLEM CHILD The Boys In The Band: Hey Johnny we’re starting a band And we heard you were the best on the block We’re gonna jam at the Junior High dance Do you wanna rock? No rules no prayer in school And the teachers can’t do anything So you know everybody’s gonna listen To whatever we wanna sing Do you smoke? No you don’t!? Well we can change all that Just play your guitar get a bad attitude And have a cigarette CHORUS And you can be a problem child We can go wild…Problem child You can be a problem child Innocence defiled…Problem child III. JOHNNY FOUND JESUS Narrator: “JESUS SAVES” read the sign In front of a tent by the road Youth revival here tonight And Johnny decided to go People sang…The organ played And then about seven fifteen Stoned out Johnny wandered in And shook those Heaven memories CHORUS (Choir/Narrator) (Johnny found Jesus) And the tears began to flow (Jesus saved Johnny) And the pain began to go (Johnny found Jesus) At the alter in his heart (Jesus gave Johnny) A brand new start Johnny found Jesus (Did you hear about the rough boy?) Oh Ohh Johnny found Jesus (Everybody says he’s reborn… I don’t believe it) IV. BIBLES FOR THE PEOPLE The Judge: “…It is therefore the order of this court, that anyone from this day forward being found to possess any Bible, shall be considered an enemy of the state and punishable by the Law of the Land…” Johnny: Many years ago I knelt before an alter And gave my life to Jesus Christ How can I submit to such an order? No I must do what is right When my country denies our maker It’s the Word of God I choose Even though my life may be in danger Either way I cannot lose…There must be CHORUS Bibles for the people…We’ll go underground…providing Bibles for the people…Till the leaders come around I’m siding with the God of Love till the and of time is come Survival for the people…Bibles for the people now V. THE INFORMANT “…911...” Informant: 9 1 1 I’m kind of on the run But something I think you should know I found the hideout of that Bible outlaw guy Listen close I’ll tell you where to go 911: “You have done well fellow citizen.” Narrator: Came the voice across the phone But no one was there to hear the empty praise The informant was already gone… Johnny and his troops were praying When they heard police on every side They calmly said their last “Amen” And Johnny looked at them and smiled VI. SHOWDOWN “THIS IS THE POLICE! THROW DOWN YOU BIBLES AND COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP! I REPEAT, THROW DOWN YOUR BIBLES AND COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP! AND NO ONE WILL BE HURT” Johnny: Let’s make a deal since I’m the one you want Let the others all go free I’ll surrender…You can end the hunt And do what you want with me… “NO DEALS JOHNNY. THROW DOWN YOUR BIBLES AND COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!” Narrator: Johnny shook his head with a look of resign As a tear rolled down his face For he knew in that moment…His destiny And what was about to take place Slowly he stepped from the building And holding his Bible high He walked toward the lights the guns and the smoke And looking into the sky he cried VII. SURRENDER Johnny: I surrender you may choose my fate But I cannot throw down God’s word For man can make any law that he wants But order comes from the Lord My life belongs to Jesus ‘Cause He laid down His life for me And maybe you can capture my body But my soul is eternally free…I am free The People: (Did you hear about the rough boy?) Ohhh…. Choir: (Johnny found Jesus) Johnny: Bibles for the people! The People (Johnny was born to Christian parents) © 1996 / 2014 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

Voyager Now 07:40
VOYAGER NOW An endless river flows With the water of life for every thirsty soul This world is not our home We are only nomad spirits and destined to roam To escape the consternation we beseech a revelation Hoping we receive a Holy epitome…Mmm (Aimlessly we wandering…) (While the voice of truth is thundering) Our hearts cannot conceive The fullness of the Master in a vast eternity We endeavor to be free And employ imagination that helps us to see In life there are no limits only loss for lack of living As we travel through our own infinity (Aimlessly we wandering…) For now (While the voice of truth is thundering) Somehow (Aimlessly we wandering…) We’ll find (While the voice of truth is thundering) A sign CHORUS Voyager now…But someday we arrive Beginning our eternal…Forever alive Voyager now…But someday we will walk Right thru the gates of Heaven and then we will talk In different holy voices…No one will be distorting The meaning we’ve been courting all along BRIDGE Only an abstract mind will dare to comprehend When fear is absent find the caring of a friend And if we have the time we share until the end This love of God…We come from God We long to see His face…We yearn for His embrace And we will hear Him say, “Enter in…To Heaven” CHORUS Voyager now…But someday we arrive Beginning our eternal…Forever alive Voyager now…But someday we will walk Right thru the gates of Heaven and then we will talk In different holy voices…No one will be distorting The meaning we’ve been courting all along (Hopefully we traveling…) And so (While the secrets are unraveling) We will know (Hopefully we traveling…) When the time (While the secrets are unraveling) Is right Voyager now… Voyager now… Voyager now… © 2014 Mychael John Thomas, BMI

about

There are only 2 new songs on the album, "Beat" song 1, and "Voyager Now" song 7. The others are re-recorded versions for better quality, with lyric updates where appropriate. My commitment is ever to share the Gospel. I don't believe you can Hate people into Loving God. I believe we must extend GOD'S Love first. I hope you will feel that in this album, Love to all, MJT
