Son of the Maker of the world
You were waiting in anticipation
Of punishment undeserved
Assaulted by your own creation
By human justice, and it’s rationalizations
Royal blood to pay a price
In ransom for my life
And today, we remember
The black is turned to white by the red
His blood is now the wine
His body now the bread
We remember the words he said
And the black is turned to white by the red
I, a child of the Maker of the world
Waiting in anticipation
Of punishment deserved
Every sin and fault my heart knows
Humbled even more, each time the cock crows
No human could ever rest
Could ever pass any heavenly test
And today, we remember
awake my heart
your savior has washed you
with wave after wave of grace
your debt is paid
your sins forgiven
by the lamb who took your place
it is time to adjust how we are living
to be acting like we are forgiven
we are forgiven
The black is turned to white by the red
His blood is now the wine
His body now the bread
We remember the words he said
And the black is turned to white
Easter is both the dark and the light
He turned the black into white
by the red

Tiguidou – Mon Minou!

Deep in the land of the dragon
Floating far from home
The course is not straight, but zig-zaggin
The current is not always known
Intricate signs of creation
Weaved midst the green and the blue
Suspense turns to realization
And dreaming to follow through
Tiguidou – mon minou!
Tiguidou – mon minou!
Crystal coral in majestic lands
Tables set for queens and kings
A royal tribute amidst time’s sands
Where dreams can take on wings
Red boat, black boat, big blue wave
See what is seen by few
Accept all that the big sea gave
Along ombak biru
Tiguidou – mon minou!
Tiguidou – mon minou!
Bridge:
So much within this life, is spent
Sorting false from true
So when you’ve had your fill of jive
You know what to do
Tiguidou – mon minou!
Tiguidou – mon minou!
The reef is ready to play the dance
On the leeward side of the isle
So make your choices and take your chance
Go down in bubblish style
J’taime oh oh, mon bon amie
It is my spirit you renew
So breath it in and breath it out
It’s all coming into view
Tiguidou – mon minou!
Tiguidou – mon minou!
(and bob’s your uncle…………………….)
