Meet You in the Sunrise
I will meet You in the sunrise
I will meet You in the air
I will lay my burden upon You
I’ll be leavin’ without care
I’ll be leavin’ without care
I will see You, double-blade tongue
Eyes of fire, snowy hair
I will cast my glory beneath You
If I have any glory there
If I have any glory there
Quakin’ earth and rattlin’ bones
Tore asunder, stood to see
When the only spotless Lamb
‘Stood the wrath of God for me
‘Stood the wrath of God for me
I will meet You in the sunrise
I will meet You in the air
I behold the Bridegroom a-comin’
And these toppled gates of Hell
And these toppled gates of Hell

Friend of Sinners
I was afraid and could not speak
I was a-tremblin’ on my knees
Torn and naked before the Throne
Choking on a heart of stone
There I wept upon Your splendor
Sweet Jesus, precious Friend of Sinners
My tongue was loosed and I could see
The wounded hands of God on me
Torn and naked before the Throne
When every lilt and every tone
Was so beautiful and tender
Sweet Jesus, blessed Friend of Sinners
Torn and naked before the Throne
Choking on a heart of stone
There I wept upon Your splendor
Sweet Jesus, precious Friend of Sinners
His Name is Jesus, Friend of Sinners

Dark as the Night
When your hope stands naked and accused
It grows dark as the night, it grows dark as the night
When your thoughts are as heavy as your shoes
It grows dark as the night, it grows dark as the night
chorus:
On the road where the light splits the gatherin’ dark
Like the sound of Paradise falls upon the damned of heart
Son, you don’t know who you’re talkin’ to
In the dark of the night the Savior’s walkin’ with you
Now the way to Emmaus is long
It grows dark as the night, it grows dark as the night
You walk ‘till the light fades and walk on
It grows dark as the night, it grows dark as the night
With the shambles spillin’ from your mind
It grows dark as the night, it grows dark as the night
It is Him as moonglow lights your eyes
It grows dark as the night, it grows dark as the night

Lily of the Valley
Lily of the Valley
Be my beauty and sustain
Lily of the Valley
The flowers of this world are failin’ me
Lily of the Valley
Be my token and corsage
Lily of the Valley
Finally dropped the bouquet of my heart
Lily of the Valley
Be my suckle and my salve
Lily of the Valley
The sickness has come into my house
Lily of the Valley
I need Thee, oh, I need Thee
Lily of the Valley
The flowers of this world are failin’ me

Doug Burr Denton, Texas
"If there are things bigger than sex and laughs, then we damn well better sing about it. If there is a God in heaven even singing against him makes more sense than the hair metal with all its soft porn videos...Burr’s albums have the heaviness of a novel. You don’t read Faulkner for entertainment. Some authors are too full of gravity. You don’t read them at the beach. You read them at the grave." ... more
