A Perpetual Jubilee
By Vic Zarley

The Children of the Israelites
When 50 years had churned
Got their debts forgiven
And their property returned
Jesus Christ has come to us
He's made it very clear
We can give just as He does
All throughout the year
All throughout the year

The world is filled with hunger
We're protected in our shells
We've made our little heavens
While most people live in hell
Why are we here? What purpose, please?
To make our pockets bulge?
Excuse me please if in that goal
I don't want to indulge
I don't want to indulge

I've heard it said as a truth
The rich will just get richer
And those who have so little now
May always be ditch diggers
But, should we have such earthly wealth
In this world so filled with pain?
If love from God is freely given
Could we not do the same?
Could we not do the same?

Don't stop at giving one time
Does God do that to us?
Our purpose is to share it all
Forever, as we trust
Our goals are heaven centered
Our purpose, not of here
Don't leave a child suffering
Don't leave him in his tears
Don't leave him in his tears

We want to make a fortune
To win the lottery
We want to fill our bank accounts
And think of me, Me, ME
But giving all for everyone
Can help us see God's Light
And take us out of selfishness
And give us Godly sight
And give us Godly sight

I've got to save some for myself
I've got to save my life
Why should I give my savings?
Why should I be in strife?
Why should the hungry die when we
Have so much to give?
What is the purpose of our lives
Why do we even live?
Why do we even live?

There's so much division
Be it cultural or class
There's so much derision
When we think of us like that
God made us in His image
And He gave us Jesus Christ
To show us how to live our lives
And give us great advice
He gives us great advice

How much do we really need
To live our lives complete?
Could we not just praise the Lord
And share the food we eat?
Luxury can make us blind
In us it builds a wall
And we forget who gave to us
His life, in fact, His all—
He gave His life for all …He gave

I know this is impossible
That this will never do
We've got too much invested in
Ourselves to make this true
But God's view is so wonderful
We need a change of heart
Let's sing this song,
Let's sing this prayer
Perhaps this song will start…

Forgive Them for They Know Not What They Do
by Vic Zarley

Today I'm very cross, I'm condemned and crucified
Something deep inside my soul has suffered and has died
Because of something someone said despite the fact they lied
Oh, Father, all I'm feeling now's impossible to hide

I cannot keep the feelings in, I'm ready now to blow
Oh, Father, help defuse this thing--I can't, this I know
I want your reassurance Lord, will everything be fine?
I pray you'll give your healing touch for both my heart and mind

My son, what you have heard from them
Is not what I have known
Please give to me what you have thought
Please see what I have shown
Let me have your self esteem
I will take you from this dream
I will change all things that seem
Embroiled in imaginings

I'm deep inside the pit of my deplorable despair
Because of what was said of me, because it was declared
Was I doing something wrong? I wasn't, this I swear
Why they thought I did it, I can't say, but it's not fair

Oh, Father, I'm so down and out, what is it You can say?
I'm so upset, I'm so perplexed, it's ruining my day
I'm angry, yes, I'm angry, and the anger seems to stay
I want them dead, Oh Father God. Is there anyway? (chorus)

I'm giving everything to You, my Father, yes, I am
You can see much more than I will ever understand
I don't have Your depth of sight, I'll give you all I can
These demons that invaded me, please take them in Your hand

I'm done with them, it's finished. Please throw them out the door
I give to You what I had kept so deep within my core
They've festered and infected me and made me very sore
They truly got the best of me, I'm done with them, Oh Lord (bottom chorus)

My son, what you had heard from them
Was not what I have known
You gave to me what you had thought
You saw what I have shown
You let me have your self esteem
Then I took you from this dream
Yes, I've changed all things that seem
Embroiled in imaginings
You gave them to me, when I asked of you
And forgave them, oh my child, for they know not what they do
You gave them to me, when I asked of you
And forgave them, oh my child, for they know not what they do

Now I give you showers of blessings
Now I give you peace galore
Now that in My heart you are resting
I can use you so much more
