1.	Carry On Wayward Son	$0.70 - Add to cart
	This is one of Dave Wang's favorite songs of all time, and it fit the album perfectly as an overture.

2.	Dorian Gray	$0.70 - Add to cart
	One of the hardest sins to guard against is pornography because we are continually inundated with explicit images. We just need to keep picking ourselves up and turning to Christ for mercy and strength. Check out "Dorian Gray." The beginning of this song comes from the book.

3.	Time Slave	$0.70 - Add to cart
	Dave wrote most of these words when he was 13. It just goes to show that you should never throw anything out...

4.	Jane	$0.70 - Add to cart
	This was a tough song to write: balancing the Truth versus being too judgmental. In the end, our hope is with God and in His ways.

5.	Running With Eyes Closed	$0.70 - Add to cart
	A popular Critical Mass song at WYD2002. It is a crowd pleaser that happens to carry a strong pro-life message.

6.	Reverend Larebil	$0.70 - Add to cart
	Larebil? That's "liberal" spelled backwards. This song was mainly written as a counter to examples of Christians watering down their beliefs in a misguided attempt to prove their "open-mindedness."

7.	Scandal	$0.70 - Add to cart
	While the abuse scandal in the Church was a sad chapter, it challenged all of us to live examples of great purity to help restore trust.

8.	Love Neglected	$0.70 - Add to cart
	This song is based on some of Dave Wang's personal experiences. We really have to value everyone because we don't know when they might be gone.

9.	Breathe In Me	$0.70 - Add to cart
	This is a beautiful Devine composition, originally a ballad.

10.	Your Mysterious Ways	$0.70 - Add to cart
	This song is an effort to make sense of suffering with the help of Colossians 1:24.

11.	Make Us One	$0.70 - Add to cart
	This song was originally an attempt to write a World Youth Day 2002 theme song.

12.	Night The Morning Came	$0.70 - Add to cart
	Dave Wang heard an incredible remake of this song by David Smith of Crossed Hearts. His arrangement inspired this version.
