Sticky August day
Hurricane clouds overhead
The short way to town washed out
I took the long way
To her house
Found shelter from the storm all about
Drove home next morning
Clear skies, a storm ahead
I wore her like a shield
Caught out, caught out
Caught out in a hurricane
Caught out, caught out
Caught out in a hurricane
All alone in the
New Orleans heat
Cold winds in my bed
The levee broke and I got out
Car on contraflow
My heart full of regret
I made some mistakes
And I left some there
But others always trail overhead
I'm caught out, caught out
Caught out in a hurricane
Caught out, caught out
Caught out in a hurricane
Who is my mother?
And who is my brother?
They're caught out, caught out
Caught out in a hurricane
Caught out, caught out
Caught out in a hurricane
Who is my mother?
And who are my brothers?

In the Kingdom
The blessed Kingdom
In the Kingdom
We'll all be free
The Kingdom's come
It's here and now
Where is your neighbor?
Can they be found?
The Kingdom's come
It's for everyone
Put down your weapons
Put down your guns
In her house
Up in her house
In her house
We'll all be free
There's a table set
So sit right down
There's enough for everyone
There's never a crowd
There's a table set
So bring a guest
Everyone can share
In her bequest
In the far land
The distant far land
In the far land
We'll all be free
We're all fugitives
Just looking for bread
Welcome the stranger
Prepare a bed
Bring your refugees
To our town
We'll wash their feet
And give them a crown
On the last day
The very last day
On the last day
We'll all be free
It's the last day
The very last day
It's the last day
Let's all get free

Son of God

The most magical day of my life
Is when I saw you in the manger
The most magical day of my life
You slept on your mom
The most magical day of my life
Is when you came into it
You were a miracle
The moment of your birth
When Mary came home
She cried as she told me
A story I found
Hard to believe
But I loved your mom
With everything I had
So we became
One family
You're the son of another
Someone I don't know
But I'll always know him through You
You're the Son of God
But you're my son too
And I'm glad I got to be a dad to you
I remember you
When you first came to my work
You helped me build a door
I taught you everything that I knew
And you showed me who you were
You spoke to everyone
We met on the street
The rich, the Gentile, the poor
You saw their hearts
And spoke the truth
With a love so gentle and pure
I fed you your very first meal
I mashed up chickpeas with oil
You spat it up all over my clothes
We laughed until we cried
We laughed until we cried
When they nailed my boy to a cross
The ground shook beneath my feet
But I wasn't thinking of your awesome power
But the side of you only I got to see
You're the Son of God
You're the Son of God
You're the Son of God
But you're my son too

Made of Fire

We are made of fire
Dust and breath made our bones
Hands and hearts they make our clothes
There's a spark of light in everyone
Praise to the one who gave us love
We raise our faces to the Son
He shines the same on everyone
But still the nations are at war
We don't know what we're fighting for
We all have chains on our bones
Some are tin and some are gold
Some are lead and some are steel
Some wounds they never heal
Old Job, he lost it all
Tore his clothes and wore sackcloth
His friends said "Job, what did you do?"
He said to God, "What about you?"
He was made of fire
Dust and breath made our bones
Hands and hearts they make our clothes
There's a spark of light in everyone
Praise to the ones who taught us love
They were made of fire
You are made of fire
I am made of fire
We are made of fire
