Jesus Shirt

A couple of my favourite songs from a CD that probably no one else has heard:

Jesus Shirt
by Mukala

I wanna wear more than just a Jesus shirt
Like some kind of iron on to cover up the dirt
To throw away when I feel okay
You're so much more than that to me

I wanna wear more than just a Jesus ring
It's so much more than just a sentimental thing
That fades away like yesterday
You're so much more than that to me

I wanna be Your child
So come and walk with me
For more than just a while
So come and talk to me
I know that's Your style
So stay with me, stay with me
Forever

I wanna wear more than just a Jesus chain
Put it on and take it off; I don't wanna play that game
'Cause it comes and goes like shifting shadows
You're so much more than that to me

I wanna be Your child
So come and walk with me
For more than just a while
So come and talk to me
I know that's Your style
So stay with me, stay with me
Forever

So make a change in me
Come on and do your thing
'Cause I don't want, I don't want
To live this way, no, no

'Cause it comes and goes like shifting shadows
It comes and goes like shifting shadows
Don't wanna come and go like shifting shadows
You're so much more than that to me

High
by Mukala

Tonight I watched the sky and saw the stars around me
Fiery constellations
It's oh, so clear that You're not silent while,
The world spins underneath me.

Never do I take the time, just watch the years go flying by
Busy-bodies never stopping
And just when I resign, to think that I,
Will never see Your face again, is when..

You take me high
And let me see Your holy countenance
That frees me from the sadness of yesterday
You take me high
And let me find the face of innocence
I don't know how, I don’t know why, but
You take me high

When I believe the lie that You would never want me
I see myself through tainted eyes
Entrapped inside the walls of my disguise, looking for a new beginning.

I find the heavy life, oh so overbearing
I guess that’s why You said that I should bear Your yoke upon me
And like so many times, You take me in Your arms again, and then..

You take me high
And let me see Your holy countenance
That frees me from the sadness of yesterday
You take me high
And let me find the face of innocence
I don't know how, I don’t know why, but
You take me high

See the signs and take me high
Find a new beginning
Always such a consolation
And judging from my suffering
It’s only for a moment.

You take me high
And let me find the face of innocence
I don't know how, I don’t know why
I don't know how, I don’t know why
I don't know how, I don’t know why, but
You take, You take, You take me high
