Impotent

Impotent

By Andy Allchurch.

 

I’m sittin at the bar, havin a nice cool beer

When I should be back at home, with my wife that’s clear

I’ve left her all alone, that’s a cryin shame

I know its not her fault, that I can’t raise my game

 

 

I know things aint been easy for a while

I find it hard to sit at home and raise a smile

That’s not the only thing I can’t raise

I’ve been worryin about the state I’m in for a couple of days

 

 

I feel so feeble, not stong and inaffective

I can’t lift the lid, as one is expected

I used to enjoy life, it was a blast

Now I feel I’m cookin without the gas

 

 

My wife she aint bothered about getting her share

But it bothers me, cause I really am one to care

Now I’m wonderin,if someone has taken my place

If I don’t get some treatment, I’ll end up a basket case

 

 

Think I need some pills to make me stand errect

I want to please my woman, and get some self respect

I hope I can get some, so I feel good

I won’t have to walk around, and keep it under the hood

 

 

I feel unable, broken down and unequipped

Can’t lift the branch, it feels its been clipped

I should enjoy life, so you would think

All I got is a, long stiff drink

 

 

I went down to the surgery to see my G.P.

I said listen doc, I need lovin pills not just therapy

He gave me a prescription, I was floatin on air

I want home to my woman, but my woman aint there

 

 

My mind went so crazy, thinking where could she be

I wasn’t goin to take one pill, I was gonna take three

Now I’m frustrated, nothing more I can do

I turned to the bottle, have myself a drink, maybe a few

 

 

I feel no hard feelings, ineffective and soft

I can’t lift the latch, the handle has come off

I once used all the strength I could muster

All I got is a long feather duster

 

 

The time has come, I need to blow my fuse

My woman she aint back yet, so I’m still takin the booze

That aint helping non, its makin me feel queer

Need to have her back here, so I can get in gear

 

 

 

Now here she is, she’s just walked through the door

Oh man, this is just what I’ve been hopin and prayin for

Pills are working, the old man is on the rise

This is what I’m talkin about, bringing water to her eyes

 

 

Yeah…yeah, bringing water to her eyes

Lord Are You For Hire?

LORD ARE YOU FOR HIRE?

BY ANDY ALLCHURCH

 

Tell me lord, are you for hire?

My faith is dying, there’s no halo of fire

This heart I own is out on a limb

I need you lord, to take away my sin

 

 

Faith was my foundation lord

I focused on your spoken word

But the serpents tongue fed me false flattery

Now I know what an invisible dream can be

Your word should have stayed alive in my heart

And never will my faith again, fall apart

The meaning of your visions will once more aspire

Just tell me lord, are you for hire?

 

 

Tell me lord, are you for hire?

My faith is dying, there’s no halo of fire

This heart I own is out on a limb

I need you lord, to take away my sin

 

 

Painful is this sinner’s world

Strike me with the believers’ sword

And let this branch find sweet fruit again

Now I know that unearthly unholy treasure causes pain

A cure for ignorance lord is what I need

To stamp out this unholy creed, unworthy seed

For me to approach the holy throne of desire

Just tell me lord, are you for hire?

 

 

Tell me lord, are you for hire?

My faith is dying, there’s no halo of fire

This heart I own is out on a limb

I need you lord, to take away my sin

 

 

Finding strength in weakness lord

Is in your power and my accord

So please acquiesce help me in holy quest

Now I know that serpents speak only in jest

Your words of hope and faith and sweet charity

Can remove me from drowning in, fools company

And the jewels that sing praise are heavens choir

Just tell me lord, are you for hire?

 

 

Tell me lord, are you for hire?

My faith is dying, there’s no halo of fire

This heart I own is out on a limb

I need you lord, to take away my sin

 

 

Tell me lord, are you for hire?

My faith is dying, there’s no halo of fire

This heart I own is out on a limb

I need you lord, to take away my sin.

God Harvest Me-------Take Me Home.

GOD HARVEST ME ----- TAKE ME HOME

BY ANDY ALLCHURCH

 

My body is in pain, it’s feeling its age

But my mind is with you God, that won’t change

It’s in perpetuity………. Perpetual sunshine

It’s a river of refreshment, with no end of the line

Faith is my fulfilment, my foundation stone

God harvest me………. Take me home

 

 

My body is my treasure, it houses my soul

It has to be your wisdom God, keeping it whole

It’s paying attention………. Attending you

On a road of salvation, when the dark of sin ensues

Faith is my devotion, my stepping stone

God harvest me………. Take me home

 

 

God take away this pain that my body is in

My spirit is high, but my bones are growing thin

My faith is not an issue; let my new life begin…..

…….. In heaven……..

The meaning of life, is to live by your rules

In heaven I’ll be alive, with spiritual virtues

God give me grace to stand by your throne

God harvest me………. Take me home

 

 

As this branch bends lower, on this ripened vine

Thoughts of being an angel of God, crosses my mind

Strong in knowledge……….  Knowing truth

In a sea of expression, the value of vision runs smooth

Faith is my fortune, my precious stone

God harvest me………. Take me home

 

 

I yield to your guidance, I submit to fate

And I’ll pray for your hand God, lying in wait

Loyal to commitment………. Loyally bound

A leaf in the wind, joyful to fall on heavens ground

Faith is my rock, my rolling stone

God harvest me………. Take me home

 

 

God take away this pain that my body is in

My spirit is high, but my bones are growing thin

My faith is not an issue; let my new life begin……

………In heaven……..

The meaning of life, is to live by your rules

In heaven I’ll be alive, with spiritual virtues

God give me grace to stand by your throne

God harvest me………. Take me home.

And Jesus Said

AND JESUS SAID

BY ANDY ALLCHURCH

 

Jesus give me courage

Give me a remedy for the blues

I’m not at the comfort stage

And I should not show ingratitude

But why should I talk to God, and waste my breath

When the only thing that’s coming to me

Is the certainty of death?

 

 

And Jesus said,

 

Look up towards the heaven

And be honest with yourself

When angry and heartbroken

And in a crisis, who do you call for help?

It’s to God you cry, and the angels of the sky

So you still have faith, and there’s no reason why

Your flame of faith should wane 

   God does not neglect, those on a heaven bound train

 

 

Jesus give me restoration

Give me light from the dark

I’m not at the holy station

And I really should not remark

But why am I talking to myself, without words of reply

When the only thing that’s on my mind

Is knowing I will die?

 

 

And Jesus said,

Look up towards the heaven

And be honest with yourself

When angry and heartbroken

And in a crisis, who do you call for help?

It’s to God you cry, and the angels of the sky

So you still have faith, and there’s no reason why

Your flame of faith should wane

God does not neglect, those on a heaven bound train

 

 

Jesus give me kindness

Give me a good loving attitude

I’m not at a loyal place

And I should not appear rude

But why am I alone in mind, without strength of character

When the only thing that’s plain to see

Is loneliness and the hereafter?

 

 

And Jesus said,

Look up towards the heaven

And be honest with yourself

When angry and heartbroken

And in a crisis, who do you call for help?

It’s to God you cry, and the angels of the sky

So you still have faith, and there’s no reason why

Your flame of faith should wane

God does not neglect, those on a heaven bound train

 

 

Jesus I’ve found comfort in misery

You gave me words of hope

And it’s not just about me

Without faith how would we cope?

Believe in the light of the world, and salvation is gold

And when you’re almost in sight of God

Spiritual renewal takes a hold

 

 

And Jesus said,

Look up towards the heaven

And be honest with yourself

When angry and heartbroken

And in a crisis, who do you call for help?

It’s to God you cry, and the angels of the sky

So you still have faith, and there’s no reason why

Your flame of faith should wane

God does not neglect those on a heaven bound train.
