MOVEMENT I: DEFICIENCY

I have nothing
I need nothing
Why have you come to me today

My soul’s quiet
I stand by it
Why can’t you leave me to my ways

This world’s empty
Come pray with me
There’s nothing God has for us there

So I’ll lead me not into temptation
I’m staying away
Who are you anyway

We are the you that could have been
Open your eyes peel, back your skin
You’ve all you need, there’s nothing more
But what if there was more

Picture a world where you have your fill
A little more taste, a little more thrill
We sing the truth, and nothing more
Just think if there was more

(Think if there was more, more, more)
I don’t need earthly pleasures
My Lord hates earthly pleasures
I don’t seek earthly pleasures
I must hate earthly pleasures

I don’t need earthly pleasures
My Lord hates earthly pleasures
I don’t seek earthly pleasures
But I might taste one earthly pleasure


MOVEMENT II: EXCESS

You told me to loosen up
So is this loose enough
I don’t see what is here for me
And you won’t get none of my sympathy

But don’t it feel good
Don’t it feel right
Can’t you see there’s more to life
Just one more swig, one more puff
There is so much here to love

I see what you’re saying
And I hear what you do
This liquid love’s got me coming to
Yes, God made good and God made fine
So I’ll eat His bread and I’ll drink His wine
And I’ll drink His wine and I’ll drink His bread
And I’ll eat His wine ‘till the dead I’m day

The hand of God holds something more
His pleasures are forevermore
But maybe this is something more
Than what our Father had in store

(Moderation)
Well thanks for opening up the door
But I don’t think I need you anymore
I found that there is something more
But what if there was something more

These are not the joys you are looking for
You can never get full by licking the floor
You gotta go to the source if you’re looking for more

Why have less when you could have more
I’m up on the roof and you’re down on the floor
I know you don’t want me to make a habit
I think the tortoise lost to the rabbit
God made good and God made fine
So jump right in or you’re wasting your time
If God’s creation is our treasure
What’s so wrong with all this pleasure

Turn away

More


MOVEMENT III: MODERATION

If I say I’m sorry
For the way I’ve been
Does it right my wrongs
Does it clear my sin

I know you know I know I’m wrong
I even wrote it out in song
But now you’ve shown where I belong

I was too far left then too far right
I was standing in the shadows when I was looking for the light
I need that sun to come warm my skin
I don’t want to freeze in this sea of sin

Too far
Too fast
Too little
Too late

Moderation

We’re all sitting on see-saws
Searching for the center
Lord, I’m such a sinner

We’re all sitting on see-saws
Searching for the center
God, I’m such a sinner

Open your eyes
Peel back your skin
Beware the guise
Turn from your sin
Balance the force
Or pleasure will win
Look to the source
The Father within
