Luxurious
How would you define success?/Getting an A on that test?/Working hard enough to stand out from the rest?/Is it money? A nice house, nice car?/A good-paying job that'll take you real far?/Is it happiness?/Being where you wanna be?/Doing what you want? Freedom from authority?/ Or is it fame? That popularity?/Is it living authentically and honestly?/Or is charity what gives you satisfaction?/Is helping others what spurs you into action?/Maybe it's simply having good times with your friends/Or a great life with your wife and your children/No matter what success means to you/Here's the one thing I know is true/All of these things are great, in of themselves/But without Jesus Christ I'll still go to hell/Whoa, excuse my bluntness, but what I say is true/And I speak these words because of my deep love for you/So I hope you make the choice to live luxuriously/Walking with the King of Kings eternally//
Chorus I call and He answers me/With a peace beyond understanding/A hope in the things to come/I'll be all things to all men just to save some/And what can man do to me?/I have an everlasting source of security/And how could I ask for more?/I can't wait to see the things He has in store/
Verse Two Now, you could have the luxury of being set apart/Join a holy priesthood right from the start/You could be royalty- a co-heir with Christ/You might go through struggles, but we've already won the fight/Reconciled by His death, saved by His life/Now it's His presence that I crave in my life/With a pure passion, I will seek out His laws/I'm a slave to this uncaused cause/I might not be luxurious in the eyes of this world/Ain't got the coolest clothes or the supermodel girls/But on Earth, I'll live righteously, humble but bold/And in heaven I'll be walking on those streets of gold/I know you're searching- He's the only way/Gotta get to know my Jesus, don't wait another day/He created you to love Him, to know Him, and be known/Don't walk away from the love He's shown, it's luxurious//Chorus//
Bridge Man, it's all about Jesus/Nothing supersedes this/He's the concluding statement, body, and the thesis/And He will honor what you do in His name/So go at it man, and bring your A game/See, I know that this is the truth, my life is the proof/Talk to Him, listen to Him, and do not waste your youth/Faithfulness will be your shield, but remember to yield/To the One who has glorious appeal/So that nothing can steal/The joy that He has brought all up in your life

Tropical Twist
Tropical Jam is the name/Just a local band/Tropical Twist is our game/The dance is all over the land/We play the island style for those braddahs that we see/We hope you like our music/If not, we're sorry/Hampton, Virginia's where the group came together/And I must say, it was quite an endeavor/From Patrick on the uke to Paul on the drums/Forty months in and we're still having fun/Braddah Iz the inspiration, and also Ten Feet/Now we write originals to create our own beat/Standing Firm, Luxurious, and also By the Beach/And now Tropical Twist, to you we'd like to teach//
Prechorus So hula to the left, hula to the right/Now skank, skank, and to the other side/Now hele on down, and turn it back around/Now stop... I know you like this sound//
Chorus Tropical Twist, ohana/Tropical Twist, why dontcha?/Tropical Twist, ohana/You got to get with it, you know it is legit//
Verse Two: Keep skankin, you're looking real good/I'm glad you've got those dance moves understood/Later cha cha slide, you're gonna be missed/But now we've got the gist of the Tropical Twist/By the way, we're all Hawaiian, in case you couldn't tell/We're just visiting the mainland here for a spell/When we go back home, they'll say, "my oh my"/We might be even bigger than Kolohe Kai//Prechorus//Chorus

Temptation
Lord, I know You've anointed me/To bring freedom and healing/So I gotta be sin-free/Or else it's only darkness that I'm revealing/You've enabled me to be righteous/So by Your blood I overcome/When I give in, it leaves me lifeless/But when I rise above, I represent Your kingdom come//
Prechorus That's right- gotta flee every time/Choose eternal gain over temporary grime/You're a child of God, you know what's right/This is a battle He'll help you fight//
Chorus Uh uh uh/Temptation ain't the way, that's what I say/And trust me, when it hits you it leaves you like a stray/So tell me, do you like that feelin?/Trust me, it ain't healin you/That's what's true- temptation's a bad thing to fall into//
Verse Two Now in the title, keyword the Bible/He says it ain't the way, for He saves the day/And He's the only Way, the Truth and the Light/With all of His power and all of His might/After death we go with Him to take flight/In Romans 8:1 it says we'll be alright/If we confess this mess and overcome the rest/We'll receive hope and strength to pass the next test of temptation//Prechorus//Chorus
Bridge Lord, renew my mind, make me new/Fill me with the Scriptures as I seek to please You/You are light, in You there's no darkness at all/And You made me Your son, the new me is installed/I make a covenant to wage war against lust/Destroying my pride ain't a choice, it's a must/It's the object of my most earnest prayer/I cannot stop until we get caught up in the air/Honesty, purity, peaceableness/ You are the King, You expect nothing less/Make your standards my delight so that my motivation will be right/Not everything that feels right is OK/I must obey with no trace of delay/You bought me with a price, I'm not my own/Spirit, please melt this heart of stone

Reasons
I've been sleeping my blues away/Tryin' to find a place where I can sit back and relax/South side of the border, east side of the court/Underneath the cherry tree, right next to the store/Something, and anything, and everything else/A part of me, a part of you, deep inside the ocean blue//
Chorus So just relax/Think of the past/Everything that happened to you was for a reason//
Verse Two There's something about this girl/I met her at the Pearl/The way her hair would curl would make my stomach twirl/And a whirlwind of butterflies would fill my insides/Yeah, there's something special about this gal/I only see her every once in a while/I thought to myself that I'd take her out/And to the theater we went, downtown//Chorus//Instrumental
Verse Three Oh my goody goody goody gracious gosh/We were walking in the park and then it rained cats and dogs/I turned to her side and said, "My oh my... even though we're wet, I'm glad that we met"/Her head was on my shoulder/We walked a little further/The best thing that ever happened to me/Was that she wanted to go steady//Chorus//Instrumental

Come with me baby/You are my lady/I want to hold you/Our love is so true//

By the Beach
At the little grass shack/With a lei on your back/I need you/Surfers catching waves/Boys chasing babes/By the beach
Chorus Oh, by the beach is where I see you/Walking in your flip flops, yes you do/I know that this sounds strange, but yes it's true/I wish that you would love me like I do for you/
Verse Two Almond brown eyes/Long black hair/Your beauty just torments me/Bright sunny smile/Cute button nose/And even that hairy mole//Chorus//
Bridge When I look at you the grass is greener/Suddenly I want to get to know you better//
Chorus Two Oh, by the beach is where I see you/Now we're walking hand in hand on the boardwalk/I also feel this sense of satisfaction/Knowing that you love me like I've loved you//

We Fly High
Chorus We fly high/We're living this everyday, serving our God in every way/Higher than the sky/High enough to touch the sky, so come with us and give it a try//
Verse One I've been walking down the street, everyday/Seeing people living their lives the wrong way/Now tell me- do you think this is true?/Is this what God has planned for you?/No- I don't think so/Behold, I show a parable- this life ain't messed up, it's just terrible//Chorus//
Verse Two Now here's the good side, not anything's right/Pick a side, choose a side, that's what's tight/It's gotta be the right one, especially for the begotten Son/Who gave His life so yours can be alright/Here's some of the things He's done for you/He died and shed His blood for you/The most beautiful death that's ever been/The most beautiful thing that's ever been seen//Chorus//Instrumental
