NEAL MORSE LYRICS

1. The Door: Introduction

2. The Door: In The Name Of God

Giving up the time we've got to live a life completely
Giving over to the lust that rages in the mind
The Captain fills his place with gold while all the ship is sinking
Calls himself the Bishop-Prince and blood's his favorite wine

Gardens grow as people know and sense the smell of slaughter
Every soul and Saxon senses something's gone awry
The woman in the wilderness - the beast has nearly got her
Men surround the Bishop-Prince and sing their bloody cry

In the name of God you must die
All that's not our truth is a lie
In the name of God you must die
In the name of God you must die
If you want some teeth, just ask why
In the name of God you must die

The pearl is trodden underfoot into the muck and mire
We'll take the Roman Gods except the names will all be changed
The woman's fed by ravens and her feet are in the fire
Cold and bare she's holding there 1260 days

In the name of God you must die
All that's not our truth is a lie
In the name of God you must die
In the name of God you must die
We won't let a sleeping dog lie
In the name of God you must die

And the Captain calls
If they won't pay they'll soon be scratching the dungeon walls
From the highest height to the tenement halls - it's true
Look out we're comin' for you!

In the name of God you must die
In the name of God you must die

3. The Door: All I Ask For

Free me - know me
Only you can make the morning mine
Lowly, humbly
As the sunlight lights the way

This is all I've asked for
This is all I've wanted to do
Is to live with you forever
And feel the beauty of your truth
This is all I've asked for
To live a life that's pleasing to you
And be there ever after
You know my heart; you know it's true

Bravely, strongly - You have left the veil of death behind
Something drawing me out into your way

This is all I've asked for
This is all I've wanted to do
Is to live with you forever
And feel the beauty of your truth
This is all I've asked for
To live a life that's pleasing to you
And to be there ever after
You know my heart; you know it's true

All I want is you

Oh God I seek the glory that's from you and from you only
Oh God I seek the glory that's from you
I seek your light through the veil of life
Please come and make me holy
Oh God I seek the glory that's from you
(This is all I ask for)
Oh God I seek the glory that's from you
(To live a life that's pleasing to you)
Oh God I seek the glory that's from you
Only you

4. The Door: Mercy For Sale

In the name of God you must pay your penance
If you don't well that's a crime
If you want to buy your way to heaven
We'll indulge you every time
Would you like to come
We'll eat in secret
My water's stolen but it's fine
If you want to know much more about me
Take a look in Proverbs 9

Mercy, mercy we're selling mercy
We are Christ and we'll bless you well
People crying Lord have mercy
But they've gone in through the gates of hell
It's true, look out we're comin' for you!

If you think the whore is only history
Are there those who teach her lies?
Wherever they believe what came out from her
The same spirit is still alive

Mercy, mercy we're selling mercy
We are Christ and we'll bless you well
People crying Lord have mercy
But they've gone in through the gates of hell
It's true, look out we're comin' for you!

5. The Door: Keep Silent

How can I keep silent when I know the truth?
How can I stand idly by with the privileged few?
There's criminals in power; the keepers of the lie
They say you've got salvation when they know you're gonna die

I don't wanna be the one to bring the curtain down
I'd much rather stay at home and keep what I have found
But Jesus didn't call me to do what I would do
So how can I keep silent when I know the truth?

What is it that binds me? What can keep me down?
In my very heart of hearts, who shall wear the crown?
But as I read and as I bleed, oh, my heart is fixed
And if I follow blind men, well, we'll fall in the ditch

[Chorus]

Oh Lord I can't justify what the ones above me do
Oh Lord I can testify nothing more or less will do
And I'll be your witness in the wild
The dragon stands in front of me
The virgin's been defiled, Oh God ...

How can I keep silent when I know the truth?
I ask myself one question: What would Jesus do?

[Chorus]

6. The Door: Upon The Door

Sometimes comes a moment when there is no escape
A man by candlelight reads "The just shall live by faith"
And a rushing ray of light comes and hits him at the core
I will write my words upon the door

History is hinged on him playing out the role
The dawn is coming after the dark night of the soul
The simple act has changed our world for evermore
I will write my words upon the door
I will write my words upon the door

Martin saw the jailer with the woman in her bed
With simple words of life he struck the seventh head
The witness stands before the dragon and the whore
I will write my words upon the door
I will write my words upon the door
I will write my words upon the door

7. The Conflict: Do You Know My Name?

God took the Promised Land and put it in my bloodstained hand
I can sell you grace for your soul or you'll burn in hell far below

I'm your Priest, I'm your King, I'm a Saint
This love your enemies thing's down the drain
Tell me, do you know my name?

Look I got two big horns like a lamb
Even though Peter was married I can't
Look I've got great big armies like a General
I may have a mistress but at least I'm a hetero

I'm your Priest, I'm your King, I'm a Saint
This love your enemies thing's down the drain
Tell me, do you know my name?
Tell me, do you know my name?
Tell me, do you know my name?
My name ... Tell me ...

8. The Conflict: Party To The Lie

Who is this who challenges the ruling of the crown?
Father we must crush him and he never will be found

We must find a way, the man will surely pay
And when there's nothing left to try ...
He must take it back, this is the only way
We can't be party to the lie
Party to the lie

Something burns inside of me that you don't understand
I'm under the authority of God and not of man

God will make a way, He will decide my fate
And whether or not I live or die
I won't take it back, this is the only way
I can't be party to the lie
Party to the lie

God will make a way, He will decide my fate
And whether or not I live or die
I won't take it back, this is the only way
I won't be party to the lie
Party to the lie

9. The Conflict: Underground

Sun turns as black as the day
Night turns a cold steel gray
I want to stay
Where the sun cannot be found

Friends cover me in the night
In a castle of warm colored light
Here I will stay tucked away
I'm underground

I thought I was coming to die
And that's what they're thinking outside
But I will stay lost
'Til it's safe there to be found

Writing the book in the day
In words that my people can say
Here I will stay, tucked away
I'm underground

10. The Conflict: Two Down, One To Go

The woman's found a place to go
Where she's gone to nobody know
But Martin's words are like wild fire
Spreading fast as pine on the pyre
Two down, one to go

Columbo sailed in '92
Guttenberg did his thing too
And Calvin came on right away
The human clock reads a whole nother day
Two down, one to go

The woman fled into the dark
From the darkness of man's heart
But she's coming from her hideaway
And I believe she still is today
Two down, one to go
Two down, one to go
Two down, one to go

11. The Conflict: The Vineyard

A wild boar has entered in the vineyard
We'll burn his books and skin him alive
And we'll do him like all the rest
He never more will rise

You are Babylon the destroyer
You destroyed the truth with all of your lies
And you will go down to the grave
And never more will rise

A wild boar entered in the vineyard
We'll burn his books and skin him alive
And we'll do him like all the rest
He never more will rise

12. The Conflict: Already Home

I stand accused I'm beaten used and tired
They took all my words and threw them in the fire
As they cast me down there's somethin' found within me
They can grind me dust but life is just beginning

There is a truth that I'm feeling; love full of healing
Somewhere I've never known
As I surrender completely; pure and it's easy
Like I'm already home
I'm already home

Take me away I want to stay by the water
If I pass on won't you tell my sons and daughters
When I am gone you all must go on believing
Lay down your life 'cause love is what gives it meaning

There is a truth that I'm feeling; love full of healing
Somewhere I've never known
As I surrender completely; pure and it's easy
Like I'm already home
There is place full of knowing; like it was snowing
Waking me up at last
And as the pages keep turning; yielding and yearning
Washing away the past
You can know
You can know the truth
He has come
He has come for you

There is a truth that I'm feeling; love full of healing
Somewhere I've never known (Already Home)
As I surrender completely; pure and it's easy
Like I'm already home (I'm already home)
There's a place full of knowing; like it was snowing
Waking me up at last (Already Home)
And as the pages keep turning; yielding and yearning
Washing away the past (I'm already home)

Oh God
I seek the glory that's from you and from you only
Oh God
I seek the glory that's from you
I'm already home ...

13. Heaven In My Heart

All of me is down and the waiting days are over
I must face the crowd on a dark and dreary day

But there's something burning inside me
There's something deep within my heart
Telling me go on through
I am here with you, no matter where you are
So in my hour of pain and sorrow
Jesus will walk me through the dark
'Cause if I die with him I will rise again
With heaven in my heart
Oh God help me to have heaven in my heart

My God he has a plan and I can do no other
God help me, here I stand, this is the only way

But there's something burning inside me
There's something deep within my heart
Telling me go on through
I am here with you, no matter where you are
So in my hour of pain and sorrow
Jesus will walk me through the dark
'Cause if I die with him I will rise again
With heaven in my heart

When he comes to find me I'll have my hand to the plow
Like he said his kingdom lives inside us here and now

Something's burning inside of me
There's something deep within my heart
'Cause when my Savior died
I was crucified with Him on that cross
So they may come and they may kill me
But they cannot kill what's in my heart
'Cause when I died with Him
I surely rose again
With heaven in my heart

I've got heaven in my heart
Heaven in my heart
And the world can't take it away

Oh God, help me
Though I walk through hell give me heaven in my heart

15. The Conclusion: Randy's Jam

16. The Conclusion: Long Night's Journey

Come out of her my people ...

I saw the light of a thousand angels taking it on the chin
I saw a hundred demons raging suffering blights upon their skin
Just as the woman lay deep in quicksand ready to take the dive
I saw some men with tattooed foreheads
I saw them laying down their lives

But before she disappeared I heard them cry
They set her on a wing bound for the sky

It was a long night's journey
A long night's journey into day
Such a long night's journey
A long night's journey into day

I saw an angel come down from heaven glorious as the sky
Crying that 'Babylon has fallen and every nation has drunk her wine'
My children will not be stooped within her tricked by her sorcery
It's time to come out of her my people
It's time set the captives free"

And then I saw a woman bright and clear
The marriage of the lamb is almost here

[Chorus]

17. The Conclusion: Re-Introduction

18. The Conclusion: Come Out Of Her

Giving up the life we had now Jesus is around us
Filled up with the Holy Ghost we're ready now to fly
But spiritual captivity it still is all around us
I believe the time has come to stand up and to cry

Come out of her - There's a place where your spirit can fly
Come out of her my people
MY PEOPLE!

Not just from the mother but the daughters of the harlot
Everything that comes from her it must be left behind
Her rituals and teaching smells of death and bloody scarlet
Like Martin did before us let the scripture be our guide

Come out of her - There's a place where your spirit can fly
Come out of her my people
Come out of her - The angel will suddenly cry
Come out of her my people
MY PEOPLE!

19. The Conclusion: Clothed With The Sun

Bravely, strongly
Watch the woman step into the light
Gleaming, leaning
On the arms of the one she loves

This is all I ask for, this is all I've wanted to do
Is to live with you forever
And feel the beauty of your truth
This is all I ask for
To live a life that's pleasing to you
And to be there ever after
You know my heart you know it's true

She's clothed with the sun
My beloved is only one
And her glory has just begun
Can you see her with your eyes?

She's prepared herself just for him
(By the grace of God she's alive!)
She has overcome all her sin
(By the grace of God she's alive!)
Let the day of the lamb begin
(By the grace of God she's alive!)
Can you see her glory rise?

20. The Conclusion: In Closing...

God can change the world with just one willing soul
Who will stand up for the truth and give him starring role
So come in to the fullness and open up the door
Maybe it is you he's looking for
Maybe it is you he's looking for ...
