Celebrate starting somewhere

Feel the hope flood

Pick out a psalm

To pump up your charm

Get out of the mud

Put your Hope in Jesus

Put downs leave you depressed

Prayers are mindfully blessed

SIN-trifugal force is one way/ By giving God your praise/ There are always difficulties/ Don’t procrastinate backwards another day

Girl if you don’t like the way I fall/ I’m rewiring this criminal/ Girl if I’m down/ God wants to know one of me in every town/ Girl if I’m still a fool/ Will you there good and true

To raise hell

Good people rested

While I ran

The rodeo trail

We all ran

With the

Windows down

Oh Father

Ain’t we macho men

Chorus:
