Shot Down --- Lyrics

Another addition to my FUNDAMENTAL project, this song is actually a song of hope. Sometimes
I tend to view too much of the apostasy [An abandonment of what one has professed; a total desertion, or departure from one's faith or religion.] around me .... so songs like this bring me back to a healthy balance.

Shot Down

       VERSE 1

Shoot now, my aim is sure

One more shot that’s sure to be heard

Can’t run and I can’t hide

Soldiers are falling; let’s turn the tide

Chorus

The sheep were scattered and running scared

But now they’re praying a prayer to be heard

The spirit is a-stirring, the saints persevering

The Shepherd is speaking and the Word is reaping

       VERSE 2

Shoot now, my hands are high

I’ve surrendered to my Lord this time

Can’t run and I can’t hide

Shadows are fading; let Love’s light shine

Chorus

The sheep were scattered and running scared

But now they’re praying a prayer to be heard

The spirit is a-stirring, the saints persevering

The Shepherd is speaking and the Word is reaping

       JAZZY RIDE 1

Dee-de-ly Dee-de-loo

High time, my time is Your time to use

Dee-de-ly Dee-de-loo

To You be true and choose to lose your blues 

       VERSE 3

Shot down, the old man dies

Buried deep with all of his pride

Turned around, just walked away

In Jesus Christ I’m sure to stay

Chorus

The sheep were scattered and running scared

But then they prayed a prayer to be heard

The spirit was stirring, the saints persevering

The Shepherd was speaking and the Word was reaping 

       JAZZY RIDE 2

Dee-de-ly Dee-de-loo

Walk the talk and testify for You

Dee-de-ly Dee-de-loo badumba – so far – so good

So sweet – complete – from me – to You 

 
       NEW CHORUS

How do you do?  Are you real? Are you true?

How do you feel?  Are you freed?  Are you clean?

How do you do?  Are you real? Are you true?

How do you feel?  Are you freed?  Are you clean?

How would you choose?  From the sorrow?  From the pain?

How could you lose?  To be broken?  To be saved? 

       VERSE 4

OOOOO I cherish my shame now

But you say it shouldn’t be

Well I say I’ll trade it someday for glory

Keeps me walking the same way 

       NEW CHORUS

How do you do?  Are you real? Are you true?

How do you feel?  Are you freed?  Are you clean?

How would you choose?  From the sorrow?  From the pain?

How could you lose?  To be broken?  To be saved?

       VERSE 5

Hmmmmm…well, that’s my story

Nothing can take it away

Hmmmm…It’s the same old story

Hmmmm….Still it’s new every day
