The Jets
That Just Landed - Jets = the band. We need God to fill
us up with the Holy Spirit and with His strength in order
for this band to exist and fulfill His purpose. He's our
pilot and guide.
the jets that just landed need more fuel so lift and fill
them up and let them fly away that they might come and
represent you will you pilot me
Empyrean - This is a cry for help. Sometimes I
feel like I'm being attacked from all sides. I just have
to be still and let God take over. I also like to think
about the unknown, especially space. It's so awesome to
know that God created the planets and the stars. This may
sound funny but when I get to heaven, I want Him to give
me a little tour of His creation. (this is the first
Sky's the Limit song written)
im calling out but i haven't heard a sound i wonder where
you are and are you coming down you reach for me and you
know just why i came all i only have to do is cry your
name holy spirit consume me now let your wave of light
shine through somehow now I've called out and i can hear
you loud come my lord and save me at the speed of sound
let me sail out there with you where i can fly out in the
stars i'll wait for you to take me in and send me far
holy spirit consume me now let your wave of light shine
through somehow
Arizona - My relationship with God is
paralleled to a long drive with a best friend. I'm
driving with a friend on a long road in the desert. We
travel fast just for fun. As life brings changes, we
understand and change course accordingly. Sometimes
though you have to stop and just examine your life and
laugh. You need the breath of God to go anywhere. Life is
difficult sometimes and only God can get you through it.
Anything is possible with God. Phil. 4: 13
can we drive faster i know that leaves are turning so we
change courses it feels like home although we travel pull
over and pose for a picture at each state line smile if
you want to can you breathe in warm air the windows are
rolled down this long road far ahead we see why take the
time to drive through arizona because we've got fuel to
last us all day long
Under these Palm Trees - It's really a song about the
beach. However, it has also taken on another meaning
through the last lines. The red sun represents Jesus
Christ the creator of all things. Not only did he give
life to all of creation but through his blood he gives
new life to those who believe. But sometimes things such
as creation which points us towards God will distract us
from him. We get caught in the waves of distraction
tossed back and forth instead of moving freely in his
grace past any obstacles. We just need to breath in the
breath of God so that we can live and live life to its
fullest.
a palm tree a royal guard of tropical oceans and beaches
looks down upon the grains of sand like an emperor look
on his empire brand new wave throws me back and forth and
tends to grip me as the metallic dolphin carefully darts
out of any obstacle that might be in her way the red sun
breathes life into all creation under these palm trees i
can't find the air wonder if you can or ever will
We Swim Sideways - It's really hard to swim sideways.
Life can be really hard, too and we can't make it on our
own. The only thing we can rely on in life is God and His
saving grace. Sin is erased by the sacrifice of Jesus
Christ but a relationship with him is mandatory. You
can't just take his atonement without living for him
instead of yourself. But when you do give your life to
him, you'll never be the same. We can't do it on our own,
even though we try, God's love is the only thing that can
get us through.
we swim sideways but have we come to this all we ever had
we lost back there but i can't even tell just how far it
is or how long the drive into this world it's all but
recompense all we have is saving grace gone away mandate
never the same we've made this raft subside so we're
forced to wade from side to side i know your love is deep
and wide
Just Wait - I've dated a lot of girls for no
reason at all. I learned nothing in all of those
meaningless relationships. Relationships can be
overwhelming. If the relationship is God-willed, it will
happen. Just wait. Don't try to take it out of God's
hands. It won't work that way. It really won't work that
way.
overwhelmed cause it's just like falling again i know it
well is this me or is this real thought i knew the drill
as it turns out i didn't know a thing overwhelmed here i
go again overwhelmed with joy with pain it makes it all
clear a wishing well i wished for something but what i
got was even better his will is the only thing that will
ever make it last overwhelmed there will be no again i
found something nervous waiting wait for better things to
come just wait one more one more minute then it will be
mine alone
A Song for Kate - When we first started dating, the
relationship was pure and innocent. I could see the
purity in her eyes. She was so happy. Then things got
rough. Sometimes the worldly things would seemed like the
right thing to do. I just wanted to run away when we had
sinned. But to come out of sin is to confess it and
repent and be held accountable, not to run away. It's so
hard to do but we did it. I want to break the
generational curse of adultery, sex outside of marriage,
irresponsibility, broken commitments, broken marriages,
broken promises, etc... I don't want my relationship with
Kate to hinder my relationship with God. Only God can
purify us again.
we breathe the same air you should have been there you
would have seen the way her eyes danced and when the moon
it hits the water it shines in the same way we need a
change if you give me a chance we could fly away far away
from this place i know we can be we tend to agree it
makes more sense to do it this way with integrity i want
to break this i want to break this we need to change if
we give it to him he could take it away don't you want it
erased
Skyline Drive (Part III) - Trying to understand the
significance of purification through the blood of Christ.
Forgiveness is the first step. Purification is a long,
continual process. If the enemy can keep the sin fresh in
your mind he's still got a hold on you. Let God take you
to a new place. The joy of the Lord revives all things as
never before.
sometimes i run but i'm not afraid why must you bring up
all mistakes i've made she makes me smile you come around
the wind in her hair reflects the sunset i see you make
it seem like it was yesterday but we've come a long way,
out of the rain i search for answers but still find
nothing at all why can't i why must you say i've made a
mess of things i won't believe it i feel like i'm dancing
on air tonight i'll make it right i'll make it right pull
into another station and get more fuel what will i do
sometimes i drive or ride with my eyes closed tight cause
if the skyline looks this way then i don't want to sleep
tonight (never giving in always seeking light we must
always try try with all our might)
Nostalgia - This song is about me trying to cope
with my dad's affairs. I try to cover it up but it makes
it worse. I think about the past; when my dad used to
live for God. It makes things easier to deal with.
Instead of letting his sin weigh me down, I go to God in
prayer and he gives me peace. He says, "Let go and
let me work on your dad." I must be faithful to God.
i say hello to the summertime and you may think i'm doing
fine but i don't know it used to always make me laugh but
now i'll sign an autograph to the way things used to be
oh do you hear my cry nostalgia nostalgia hold my hand
cause i've got a ways to go oh but i can't stand to go on
like this so long nostalgia now i can plainly see the way
the conflict used to be neverending i always thought that
in this case to keep a smile on my face though that's not
how i feel oh do you hear my cry nostalgia nostalgia
don't let me down I've always faced the truth oh now why
can't i just ignore what i've found nostalgia i often
ride the choppy waves of change but the reward i know is
much more great don't want to give up i cannot give in i
must maintain my faithfulness i've seen the darkness and
it's consuming i cannot bring him back to then i must
maintain my faithfulness
Neverending, Like the Sky - God's love is awesome. It
makes no sense to me to give your only son to die in
order to save mankind... to save me, a worthless sinner.
But I'll take it because I need God more than anything
else.
i can't comprehend your love for me i can't understand
why you died for me died for me why you died for me i
still don't understand my question begs sincerity if i
could please know why why you died for me died for me why
you died for me so i reach out to find myself a savior
because i need you more than ever so please don't let me
go your love is never ending like the sky so vast and
wide so i reach out to the background you pick me up and
say keep moving you'll be there to catch me when i fall
and i fall so hard

(This song has never been recorded
only played live.)
The Pursuit of
Relationship from an Old Friend - the song
tells a story of two friends. one pushes the other
away and chooses to go down a path that leads to nothing
but trouble. when everything comes to the end and
nothing lasts the two friends reunite for a
conversation. this song is that conversation.
i have recently gone through a season in my life
where i have pushed that old friend away. that
old friend was Jesus. and he stood there and waited
until i realized that i couldn't do it on my
own and he saved me... again.
hey what's the name of that place on the water that you
took me to the one with the green and white striped
umbrellas and the scenic view i want to go there and
understand you hey i just want to get tossed by the waves
and get lost in the sight of You there honestly isn't a
single thing i'd rather do a contrast between comfort and
fear from a friend that's a strange thing to feel but
i'll sail it with You we could sit on the jetty and see
the sunrise if You wanted to i'm breathless and overtaken
by Your love we could watch the stars how does that make
You feel to watch something You made turn out so
beautiful then You say "i feel the same way when i
look at you" far removed leaving in the summertime
likewise but not like mine i want to touch You but i want
to feel You reaching for me more my heart says it needs
You
