01 It's The Heart That Matters
Words and music: Rob Frazier and Carol Buckley Frazier Open your eyes, somebody's crying Someone you know - their hope is dying You want to help but you don't know what to say Maybe you wonder, can you make a difference anyway But it's the heart that matters Always let it show Someone's torn and tattered Open up your soul When love is the way And you are the one Cause when life is shattered God can pick it up And put it back together His love is enough But you gotta believe It's the heart that matters Open your arms, somebody's reaching They need your hand not just your preaching So take 'em to heart, let them get close to you They've got to see the love of the Father coming through When nothing is clear From looking at life through a layer of tears Tell me, tell me Will you be there? |
02 Hide And Seek
Words and music: Rob Frazier, Wayland Patton and Steve Camp You found out you're not just playing a game You found out there are some spiritual dangers Now you're in trouble But you don't know where to begin There's a way and to you it seems all right Comes a day you've got to turn and face the light You wanna change But you're holding on to your sin! Playing hide and seek When you run from the Lord you go down in defeat Playing hide and seek Come back to Jesus, it's where you ought to be It's your move, you must consider your soul Time to loose this empty baggage that you hold I hate to see you Wasting your life away God's aware of every doubt in your heart Still He cares enough not to tear your faith apart Don't run for cover The debt you owe is already paid There's no reason to run away God's love, it can save your soul His grace, it can make you whole! You found out you're not just playing a game You found out there are some spiritual dangers But don't run for cover The debt you owe is already paid! |
03 Break My Heart
Words and music: Rob Frazier and Steve Camp I have prayed for deliverance From the trouble in my life I've asked the Lord to bless me And keep my pathway bright But the greatest prayer That I could ever pray Is for holiness Oh, it's not the easy way to say Break my heart Till it longs for none but Thee Till Your Spirit flows through me Break my heart Let Your will be done, not mine Rid my soul of compromise Say "I love you!" once again And break my heart Through Your gentle chastening I know that I am loved For everything that comes to me First comes through You above Oh, the testing of my faith Is like precious gold For through the fire You refine my soul, so, Lord |
04 This Town
Words and music: Rob Frazier, Carol Buckley Frazier and Steve Camp This old town may not mean that much to you But it's where I live, it's all I've got Lately change has been coming, but what's it coming to? Where there used to be a church now it's a parking lot We got our houses and our swimming pools Everybody's lives are so discreet But keeping up appearances is our only rule And we've lost the power we once found on our knees Doesn't anybody pray in this town anymore? Doesn't anybody want to stand up for the Lord? While we shake our heads wondering what we're gonna do God says "I need one righteous man" Is it gonna be you? Look outside your back door, tell me what you see People are starving in your streets And human life just ain't worth what it used to be From the nursing home to the nursery Families are hurting in our neighbourhoods Loyalty and love are out of vogue And God is just forgotten or at best misunderstood But He remains the One Who's in control He will lead us to holier ways To a foundation on which we can stand For if we're humbled as people and pray God will heal this land |
05 It's Alright To Cry
Words and music: Rob Frazier He was parked outside of the bar and grill Inside his wife was sitting there drinkin' her fill They got three kids sitting at the house alone While the daddy's out trying to save his house and home Feeling abused, says he's getting used To life dealing him a dirty hand Maybe what he needs is not someone to preach But someone who can understand It's all right to cry It's all right It's all right to cry sometimes When crying's all you can do She was sitting with her friend in the waiting room Down at the clinic where that awful work is done Well, the boyfriend left, he had nothing to say Now the friend is saying she sees no other way Trying desperately to make her see There's a way to face what's in store But it breaks her heart - she falls apart Watching her walk through the doctor's door Cause life's a desperate affair And in our haste to show we care We forget how to be real How to bleed and how to feel We don't have all the answers We just know Somebody who does! I was having my dinner with the TV on When up came the pictures of the starving Africans Children dying - what a pitiful sight And suddenly you know I lost my appetite Tears came to my eyes, I realized Something had touched me to my soul But the feeling changed, it went away I changed it by remote control It's all right to cry It's all right It's all right to cry sometimes But that ain't all you can do |
06 Get Into Motion
Words and music: Rob Frazier and Carol Buckley Frazier Well, to every man's a season A time to heed the call If he's even listening at all Now do you ever stop and wonder Or try to figure out Just what your life is all about Time is slipping through your hands You gotta live every moment while you still can You say that things stay the same I say that there can be change But you're moving way too slow Get into motion! There's so much work to be done Don't give up before you've begun Hear the Word and follow Get into motion! Pain has robbed you of your power And left you feeling cold Feel the chill right down to your soul But you can turn to Someone greater Who's living inside of you And you know He's got the strength you could use God will set your heart on fire The desire to trust Him is all He requires |
07 Army Of Love
Words and music: Rob Frazier and Steve Camp Brothers, stand up and fight for your King You're serving His Majesty Called to defend the throne Warriors, your weapons are not made of steel For the sword that you wield Is loving God's truth in love Seek not to destroy but conquer with joy The hearts that do not know Him You're an army, army Army of love You're an army, army Army of love Christians, we war not against flesh and blood So do not condemn this world But reach out to save someone With unity, come on, we are one in the Lord So be not divided anymore For together we're strong It's time that we stand and march hand in hand Claiming the victory! One mind, one heart, one Lord One faith, one way, one God over us all It's time that we stand and march hand in hand Claiming the victory! For together we're strong and we'll carry on Until His face we shall see |
08 Starting Over
Words and music: Rob Frazier All my life I've been starting over Learning my lesson once more Just like before I am a child foolish and wild Take a step and I'm nearly walking But I trip and I fall My faith is much too small I run to You Can You tell me please why it seems No matter what I do I'm always Starting over again When it seems like the past is my only friend Starting over again When will it ever end? Everyday I need Your forgiveness And if I could not depend on that I'd just give in I do belong My heart is Yours, my soul secure I want to grow up strong, not always Where do I begin? Cause I know it's true that Only You can set my soul on fire And lead me on to higher ground Give me the strength to carry on I need Your grace to keep on! I will begin Starting over again |
09 Hey Frankie
Words and music: Rob Frazier I remember when I met you Wild hair, black shades and lots of leather too Lookin' for all the world Like a new sensation Running round we tore up the old school Had our fun gettin' around the rules And laughing our way Out of every situation But now you know we're all gettin' older Somehow this world seems a little colder And you were never good At keepin' that guilt inside Well, I know how you feel, I know you see That who we are ain't always who we want to be And that's something you can cover up But you can never hide Hey Frankie, take a look at me I'm just the same as you, you see it's not Where you come from It's Who you got Hey Frankie, take a look at you You need a little help to see you through And I know Someone Who can do it for you You can trust me when I'm talkin' Cause tho these roads that we been walkin' Have taken us apart Frankie, I still love you Jesus is the way and He is the truth And He can save us from the things we do And Frankie, that's an offer You should never refuse It's no mystery, without Him we're history You don't argue who's to blame You just don't wanna stay the same Frankie, things are going to be alright There's a way to get over There's a way to make day from night |
10 Where Love Begins
Words and music: Rob Frazier and Steve Camp Oh, you're taking it hard Cause you lost your boy Well, you wake up to the fact You were nothing but his little toy And you don't understand How he could use a friend Now your mind's made up You're never gonna fall in love again You're in a bad situation And it cuts like a knife Oh, you're looking for a love that never ends But I know the place where love begins It's there in the touch of nail-scarred hands So to ease your mind Your dropped in to a movie show To clear up a few questions about love From some people who you thought would know But you walked away So much left unsaid They left you with the impression Love was something that you find in bed Now you're so confused you don't know what to do You wish someboyd would tell you straight You've been to church and Sunday School Their words went right over you They'd never been to where you are But you can turn your life around The Love you seek, it can be found Open the eyes of your heart |
