What You Say

Words & Music: Gregg Hart

©2024 Midiboy Music

You say you want to walk with me, but you always walk ahead
You say you want to be my friend, but you act as though I'm dead
You tell others that you love me, but you never talk to me
You say that you need me, but you don't take what I give to you for free

 

Stop giving me excuses, I have heard them all

Stop giving me a reason why you ignore my calls

When you decide to love me and let me have a part

Stop giving me your "buts" and give me your heart.

 

What you say what you do

One might think there are two of you

What you say what you do

Different things, same ol' you

 

I try to walk alone with you, but you try to lead

I try to be a good, true friend, in your hour of need

I try to tell you that I care, but you do not seem to hear

I offered you my life, my all, but you do not want me near

 

Stop giving me excuses, I have heard them all

Stop giving me a reason why you ignore my calls

When you decide to love me and let me have a part

Stop giving me your "buts" and give me your heart

 

What you say what you do

One might think there are two of you (one, two)

What you say what you do

Different things, same ol' you

 

What you do what you say

Different story different day

What you say what you do

Different things same ol' you

 

What you say what you do

One might think there are two of you

What you say what you do

Different things, same ol' you

 

What you say...oh yeah

What you do…

Oh what you say and what you do

They are different things but you're the same old you

 

What you say what you do

One might think there are two of you (Two of you)

What you say what you do

Different things, same ol' you (Same old you)


 



Walk Away

Words / Music: Rod Middleton & Gary Baker
©Jagged Doctrine


I want to see you again, I need to be with you

I long to walk with you again, take me back won’t you?

 

Don’t let me ever walk away,

Can’t live without you one more day

 

Sometimes I take you for granted

Forget what you mean to me

Sometimes I wanna be selfish

Forget what we can be

 

I want to be together

You got all I could ever need

Now I’m just a humbled man

You got me down on hands and knees

Don’t let me ever walk away

 

To hear your voice once again, speak my name so softly

To be in your arms once again, reach out to me

 

Don’t let me ever walk away,

Can’t live without you one more day

 

Sometimes I take you for granted

Forget what you mean to me

Sometimes I wanna be selfish

Forget what we can be

 

I want to be together

You got all I could ever need

Now I’m just a humbled man

You got me down on hands and knees

 

(I know now) that everything is better when

(I know now) when you are around.

 

Sometimes I take you for granted

Forget what you mean to me

Sometimes I wanna be selfish

Forget what we can be

 

I want to be together

You got all I could ever need

Now I’m just a humbled man

You’ve got me down on hands and knees

Don’t let me ever walk away (Walk away)



The Parable

Words / Music: Gregg Hart

You told me about a man that was up to no good

When he moved into the town, there went the neighborhood

He stole from other people so that he could have more

He became the man that everyone abhorred

 

I can't believe it

Why would he do this?

I just don't get it

As sure as God lives

This man deserves to die, let him die

 

He is a liar, he's a cheat, he needs to pay them back

He needs to fix what he has done and get back on track

You try to convince me that he must not understand

The nature of the crimes committed by his hands

 

I can't believe it

Why would he do this?

I just don't get it

As sure as God lives

This man deserves to die, let him die

Let him die

Let him die

Let him die

 

Let him die, yeah

Yeah, yeah

 

There were two men in the city one was rich one was poor

The poor man had a lamb, the rich had many more

The rich man made his dinner; didn't want to use his own

So he took the poor man's lamb and left him all alone

 

I can't believe it

Why would he do this?

Ooh I just don't get it

I do not understand

I can't believe it

Why would he do this?

What are you telling me?

What did you mean when you looked at me and said "You are that man."

Am I that man?

You are that man!

 

I do not understand.  What are you telling me? What did you mean when you looked at me and said “You are that man?”


Tragedy Of A Bleeding Mind

Words / Music: Joe Flint & Gregg Hart

I am not in the mood for philosophical discussion

I have beaten myself and mind to the point of concussion

And where has it gotten me? Am I free from repercussion?

Just wasting time sitting here being needled like a pin cushion

 

Tragic has become my state of being

Hemorrhagic heart and mind I am seeing

A tragedy of the needy kind

It is the tragedy of a bleeding mind

 

I cannot take any more empty idealization

Do I need to surrender myself and mind to the realization

I may never have the taste of knowing apart from salivation

Can I ever grasp the things that can become my salvation?

 

Tragic has become my state of being

Hemorrhagic heart and mind I am seeing

A tragedy of the needy kind

It is the tragedy of a bleeding mind

 

Tragic has become my state of being

Hemorrhagic heart and mind I am seeing

A tragedy of the needy kind

It is the tragedy of a bleeding mind

A bleeding mind

 

Tragic has become my state of being

Hemorrhagic heart and mind I am seeing

A tragedy of the needy kind

It is the tragedy of a bleeding mind

 

Tragic has become my state of being

Hemorrhagic heart and mind I am seeing

A tragedy of the needy kind

It is the tragedy of a bleeding mind

A bleeding mind

Oh Lord take my hand, and show me the way

When You lead the way, I can never be afraid

Of the dark

Of the dark

 

Oh Lord here I am, I give to You my life

I need You to be my guiding light

Shine through me

Make me shine

 

Oh Lord I will not be afraid

If You lead the way

Oh Lord I feel safe in the night

As if You held me tight

In Your Arms

 

Oh Lord cleanse my heart with Your purity

And see if there be any wicked way in me

Search me Oh Lord

Search me

 

Oh Lord guide my feet, show me where I should be

Keep me from the path of sin and iniquity

I want to be holy, yeah

 

Oh Lord I will not be afraid

If You lead the way

Oh Lord I feel safe in the night

As if You held me tight

In Your arms

In Your arms

In Your arms

 

Oh Lord I will not be afraid

Oh Lord I feel safe in the night

As if You held me tight

 

Oh Lord I will not be afraid

If You lead the way

Oh Lord I feel safe in the night

As if You held me tight


In Your arms

In Your arms

I feel safe in the night

In Your arms

I feel safe in the night

I feel safe in the night



Who Am I

Words / Music: Gregg Hart

Hey, how’s it going, how’ve you been, what’s going down?

Got a moment to listen, you gunna be around?

You may not know who this is, but you see me every day

You rarely walk by me without glancing my way

 

You want to talk about God? I am here for you today

I have never been known to run out of anything to say

Your kids know me well, they see me every day

Holding on to every single little word that I say

 

Do you know who I am, have you figured it out yet?

 

We can talk about sports, we can talk about the law

Let’s talk about anything you desire at all

It can be reality, it can be a fantasy

Or even an airplane that crashed into the sea

 

Do you know who I am, have you figured it out yet?

Do you see me as a friend or have I become a threat?

 

When the kids are not at home and the wife is away

Let’s talk how…how we can play

Are you feeling lonely, a little risqué?

If the time is right, we can go all the way

 

Do you know who I am, have you figured it out yet?

Do you see me as a friend or have I become a threat?

Will you wise up to me before the itch is gone

Or just sit in your chair, grab the remote and turn me on?

 

Do you know who I am? Have you figured it out yet?

 

I can be so animated, or I can even be explicit

I can be whatever you want me to be

I can make you laugh all night, or I can make you cry

I’ll tell you it’s true even though it’s a lie

 

Do you know who I am, have you figured it out yet?

Do you see me as a friend or have I become a threat?

Do you think that it’s time before more time is lost

To get out of your chair, grab the remote and turn me off?



You Know Me Better Than I

Words / Music: Gregg Hart

Sometimes I don’t like what You say to me

Sometimes I don’t like what You want me to hear

Even though You know what’s best for me

It’s not like I have anything to fear

And yet sometimes I act like I don’t need You

Sometimes I pretend that I am just fine

But You know the truth about that too

Because You know this here heart of mine

 

You know me better than I

You know me better than I

You know me you know me you know me know me know me better

You know me you know me you know me know me better.

 

When will I learn to always trust Your words?

When will I decide to do just what You say?

Instead of pretending that You were not heard

Instead of asking if I can meet You halfway

And then sometimes I act like I don’t need You

Sometimes I pretend that I am just fine

But You know the truth about that too

Because You know this here heart of mine

 

You know me better than I

You know me better than I

Cuz You know me better than I

I said You know me better than I

You know me you know me you know me know me know me better

You know me you know me you know me know me better.

Even if it’s not what I wanted to hear

Because I know You know what’s best for me

I know I don’t have anything to fear.

 

Cuz You know me better than I

I said You know me better than I




Calm The Storm

Words & Music: Gregg Hart

© 2024 Midiboy Music

 

The waves were crashing all around as the rain poured down

The water poured in as the boat was tossed around

The only One who could help was asleep deep and sound

They didn’t think They’d ever make it back to solid ground

It’s not like they were new to sailing on the sea

It’s not like they’ve never been out in a storm

But this was something like they’ve never seen before

There was no way they’d make it back to the shore

 

Master, please wake up

Do you not care the boat is breaking up

The wind is furious, the sea is raging

The is no sign of hope remaining

But then He said

 

Peace! Be still,

the sun is shining,

The sea is calm

He said, why are you so afraid

Have you still no faith?

 

Traffic jams, deadlines, and all of life’s demands on us

The chaos never seems to end, and things just seem so unjust

As the whirlwind of this daily storm rages on and on and on and on

Why do we forget the One who can make it calm

It’s not like He hasn’t helped us before

It’s not like we’ve never survived a storm

But things are harder now than ever before

I am not sure that I am ready for whatever is in store

 

Master, please wake up

Do you not see that I’m falling apart?

Everyone is furious, why are they raging

There is no sign of hope remaining

But then I read

 

Peace! Be still

The sun is shining

The sea is calm

And then I read

Why are you so afraid

Have you still no faith?

 

If the winds and the waves obey Him

Why can’t I

Have the courage and the faith to believe Him

All the time

 

If the winds and the waves obey Him

Why can’t I

Have the courage and the faith to believe Him

All the time

 

Jesus, please help me

To know that You are in control

When everyone is furious, and raging

You are the only Hope remaining

Because You said

 

Peace! Be still

The sun is shining

The sea is calm

I don’t have to be afraid

Because I have faith

 

Peace! Be still

The sun is shining

The sea is calm

I don’t have to be afraid

Because I have faith

I have faith

 

Peace! Be still

The sun is shining

The sea is calm

I don’t have to be afraid

Because I have faith

 

Because the winds and the waves obey Him

That’s why I

I have the courage and the faith to believe Him

All the time

 

Because the winds and the waves obey Him

That’s why I

I have the courage and the faith to believe Him

All the time

 

All the time

All the time

All the time



Someone Like You

Words / Music : Gregg Hart

I thank my God every time I remember you

For you have taught me an important thing or two

You told me who I should trust

And who I should avoid as a must

This is why I thank God for you.

Don’t know where I’d be if it wasn’t for you.

 

If there’s one thing I’m glad I learned from you

It’s how to pick a friend that can be so true

Next time I decide to trust someone new

I hope it’s not someone like you!

 

I can’t believe I missed all the clues

How did I believe that you were so true

As you talked about others and played your games

Then when I’m not around, you do the same

This is why I thank God for you.

But, I’ll be better off for now without you

 

If there’s one thing I’m glad I learned from you

It’s how to pick a friend that can be so true

Next time I decide to trust someone new

I hope it’s not someone like you!

 

If there’s one thing I’m glad I learned from you

It’s how to pick a friend that can be so true

Next time I decide to trust someone new

I hope it’s not someone like you!

 

From this point on, I will decide who to trust

Excuse me for having to be so blunt,

Next time I decide to trust someone new

I pray it’s not someone like you!

 

I can’t believe I missed all the clues

How did I believe that you were so true

As you talked about others and played your games

Then when I’m not around, you do the same

 

If there’s one thing I’m glad I learned from you

It’s how to pick a friend that can be so true

Next time I decide to trust someone new

I hope it’s not someone like you!

 

I hope it’s not someone like you

I hope it’s not someone like you

I hope it’s not someone like you



Immortalize

Words & Music: Gregg Hart

© 2024 Midiboy Music

 

You say it’s just a job, you need the money, so what

It’s no big deal, nobody gets hurt when you shake your butt

Two kids at home, by yourself, the fathers skipped town

The pay’s not great, but its steady, you cannot turn it down

 

Immoral eyes immortalize everything they see

While your rational lies convince you it’s how it’s meant to be

Immoral eyes will demoralize what was once so pure

When we normalize the immoral lies, it creates the allure

 

But there is one thing I wish you could understand…

 

Immoral eyes immortalize everything they see

While your rational lies convince you it’s how it’s meant to be

Immoral eyes will demoralize what was once so pure

When we normalize the immoral lies, it creates the allure

 

You came home late one night, your kids watching porn, now what

You block their Internet, yell at them for watching smut

But mom, they say, how is this different from what you do

You say they don’t understand, but you know they really do

 

Maybe one day, you’ll start to understand

 

Immoral eyes immortalize everything they see

While your rational lies convince you it’s how it’s meant to be

Immoral eyes will demoralize what was once so pure

When we normalize the immoral lies, it creates the allure

 

Remember something that you once heard

From immorality you must turn

 

The life that you are leading is not healthy

For the sin you commit is against your own body

 

With that in mind, maybe you’ll start to understand

 

Immoral eyes immortalize everything they see

While your rational lies convince you it’s how it’s meant to be

Immoral eyes will demoralize what was once so pure

When we normalize the immoral lies, it creates the allure

Sitting On A Hill

Words / Music: Gregg Hart

You might believe we’re on the brink of demise

Black is white, God’s word seems compromised

You’re core beliefs are challenged every day

Nobody cares about anything you say

 

So you’re sitting on a hill, waiting for God to destroy it all

Sitting on a hill, You’ve done your part, you’ve heard His call

Sitting on a hill, the end will come, their time is near

Sitting on a hill, wondering why they’re still here

 

God told you to preach, so you tell them they’re doomed

So you’ve done your part, they’ll be consumed

Now you sit and wait; God will destroy it all

Yes, see them there, just waiting to fall

 

While you’re sitting on a hill, waiting for God to destroy it all

Sitting on a hill, You’ve done your part, you’ve heard His call

Sitting on a hill, the end will come, their time is near

Sitting on a hill, wondering why they’re still here

 

But what about grace?

What about their souls?

You’re waiting for God

To accomplish your goals

Let God be God

And you be you

He’ll do what He wills

Not what you would do

 

But what about grace?

What about their souls?

You’re waiting for God

To accomplish your goals

Let God be God

And you be you

He’ll do what He wills

Not what you would do

 

But what about grace?

What about their souls?

You’re waiting for God

To accomplish your goals

Let God be God

And you be you

He’ll do what He wills

Not what you would do

 

But what about grace?

What about their souls?

You’re waiting for God

To accomplish your goals

Let God be God

And you be you

He’ll do what He wills

Not what you would do

 

Try sitting on a hill, praying that God will save them now

Sitting on that hill, asking Him to show you how

To walk down from that hill, sharing His love, answering His Call

Remembering the hill, where He sacrificed and gave us His all

 

Try sitting on a hill, praying that God will save them now

Sitting on that hill, asking Him to show you how

To walk down from that hill, sharing His love, answering His Call

Remembering the hill, where He sacrificed and gave us His all



Relentless

Words: Joe Flint / Gregg Hart

My thoughts go back and forth never stopping long enough for me to come to a conclusion

That makes sense to me.

Relentless
Relentless

Mind over matter doesn’t seem to matter that matter overtakes my mind always troubling

Never kind

Relentless
Relentless

My emotions build the struggles and war between my spirit and my flesh never

Giving me relief oh no.

Relentless
Relentless

Finders keepers, losers weepers, how can I ever find the truth that hides

Behind the lies?

Relentless
Relentless

 

It seems that I’m out to get me

Thank God that You’ve already got me

Keep me safe from the lies that I tell me

You are the only Truth that I will ever need

 

Everything I know that’s true I’m told is lies by the ones who tell me that they know

What is best for me

They are Relentless

Relentless

They don’t care that I don’t care that what they care about You don’t care about

In any way at all.

They are Relentless
Relentless

They try to say You don’t exist because there is no proof that You are

Anywhere around here

They are Relentless

Relentless

I will focus on You, I will only praise You, I will declare Your Name above all else

I’ll be Relentless
Relentless

 

It seems that they’re out to get me

Thank God that You’ve already got me

Keep me safe from the lies that they tell me

You are the only Truth that I will ever need

 

 

It seems that they’re out to get me

Thank God that You’ve already got me

Keep me safe from the lies that they tell me

You are the only Truth that anyone will ever need

 

I am seeking You with all my heart, seeking You with all my mind never giving up

And then seeking You some more

Relentless

I am Relentless

Because You say if we are humble, and we pray to You and seek Your face and repent

You will heal our land

And You’ re Relentless

So Relentless

You say that You are seeking us to worship You and You are seeking for a loyal heart

You are pursuing me

You are Relentless

You make me Relentless

The losers are winners.  The last are the first. The seekers are finders

If they truly seek Your face

And are Relentless

Relentless

 

It seems that I’m out to get me

Thank God that You’ve already got me

Keep me safe from the lies that I tell me

You are the only Truth that I will ever need

            

 It seems that they’re out to get me

Thank God that You’ve already got me

Keep me safe from the lies that they tell me

You are the only Truth that I will ever need

 

It seems that they’re out to get me

Thank God that You’ve already got me

Keep me safe from the lies that they tell me

You are the only Truth that anyone will ever need



Widow's Pence

Words: Joe Flint
Music: Gregg Hart
© 2024 Midiboy Music

Their superlatives and hyperboles
Are not enough to impress me

Candy sweet with a pious coating

Full of air and empty calories

Like clouds, the words they say are merely fluffy

Suffocating in the synthetic stuffing

Where is the reality in what they promise me?

Hitting the airwaves and raking in the dough

Hitting the airwaves and raking in the dough

They’re hitting the airwaves and raking in the dough

Jet-setting trendy fashion bought with the widow’s pence

Bought with the widow’s pence

Bought with the widow’s pence

Life savings transferred from those in need

All just to feed their greed

All they care about is feeding their greed

 

There once was a time when my ears like to be tickled

My sensibilities at the time were so fickle

But I have moved beyond getting my fill from the food of infancy

Challenge me with the meaty things

Let me sink my teeth into something

Let me sink my teeth into something

Let me sink my teeth into something of substance

Because I cannot be satisfied in any other way

I cannot be satisfied in any other way

I do not wanna be satisfied in any other way

 

Metaphors and anecdotes have been the tree falling in the woods when no one is around

Whether in a whisper or in a shout tell me what I need to know

Teach me to give, teach me to sacrifice

Show me how You gave, show me how You sacrificed

Comfort zones have held me back

These sins that keep me so enslaved

Your Word is the thunder, You Word is the lightning that shakes me to my very core

That old life is not to be lived anymore

That old life is not to be lived anymore

That old life is not to be lived anymore

That old life is not to be lived anymore

I don’t wanna live that old life anymore

Anymore

Anymore
