01 Go Through Fire
Words: Rob Frazier Music: Rob Frazier and David Brighton Susie works in a restaurant Dreams all day 'bout the things she wants Like security And somebody to hold her tight Five years back she was on a roll She came to Jesus, He saved her soul But she fell away When things didn't go just right Now she's wondering 'bout that empty feeling in her life Once you taste the truth Nothing else will satisfy You might have to go through fire You might have to walk through water You might have to stand Where nobody else has stood You might have to go through fire But that can be good Billy worked in a factory Till he lost his sight back in '83 In an accident Somebody else's fault Now anybody could understand How that could make you a bitter man But he's not that way He's thankful for what he's got He says "What I'm looking forward to I don't need these eyes to see I've got a treasure up in heaven And it's waiting there for me!" he says... Now fire burns and water cleanses the soul But the only goal Is to be more like Jesus Through all that we do |

03 She's So Hard
Words and music: Niles Borop and Rob Frazier Well she never had the chance To be a little girl In a mr. Rogers fantasy world Barely out of the cradle Into grown up life she was hurled When mom wasn't on the bottle She beat up on the kid And life became a living hell Her father was no "daddy" He couldn't keep his hands to himself If she's got any heart left It's sure not easy to tell She's so hard She's so hard to break through Like a rock she just stands there Cold and unmoved She's so hard Tell me what would you do It's easy to hate her When she's vulgar and rude But she's never known the kind of love Where she didn't get used Standing on the corner Supposed to be in school Passing off the guys with a shrug But she's not afraid of strangers As long as they've got money or drugs She's had a million boyfriends She thinks she knows the score She'll hurt your long before she gets hurt She says, "You can't trust anybody And love is just a dirty word" If you're gonna help her You better make up your mind |
04 Rise Up, Get Ready
Words and music: Rob Frazier and Carol Buckley Frazier In Chrystalline walls I found you Surrounded by fears that bound you in Isolated again Outside there's a world that's changing The Spirit is rearranging hearts We're gonna make a brand new start And you know you're not alone And pain is not your home So let your arms reach out And push down the walls of doubt Rise up, get ready Take a message to your world Rise up, get ready Don't you know - love is the word The word that will energize you When you realize what God has done By sending His Son So leave that prison behind It's time to spread your wings and fly To your Father's side Cause the One who saves your soul Wants to see you whole When you reach out to someone else You break the chains around yourself Love is the word that you need to know So the world will see That Jesus is Lord And we will show The glory of the Father Reflected in each other |
05 Practical Ways
Words and music: Rob Frazier Three o'clock in the morning I'm lying awake in bed I got twenty five books about Spiritual living Knocking around in my head "Think like this, pray like that" I think I'm going crazy - give me something I can use! I need some practical ways to serve my Saviour Practical ways to live Cause I'm tired of just talk, I'm ready to walk In some practical ways, practical ways to live I see the tv preacher A really popular one He says he's got advice for my situation (for a twenty dollar donation) Now I'm not saying that he's no good But I wish he'd come to my town and give me some... Practical ways like caring for my friends and neighbours Being ready to share the word Reaching out to the poor and the needy And doing it in the name of the Lord I want to live each day like it really matters Let the Spirit be my guide into those... |
06 What Can One Person Do
Words and music: Rob Frazier He came all the way from England With a fire deep within him And a message he knew he had to tell Called a saint and then a sinner An absolute beginner he was scorned For doing his job too well To a land of many millions He was just another civilian He was a missionary but he became a friend And before his life was finished Darkness was diminished And in China revival would begin And they say "What can one person do?" She came from the wealthy classes But chose life among the masses When she took a simple sister's veil In the streets of Calcutta Going hospital to gutter She is hope where hopelessness prevails There among the dying The helpless and the crying She is life and comfort to the soul No political agenda Just a quiet defender Of the dignity of each and every suffering soul What can one person do for a planet That's suffering and dying That's what they say What can one person do Well, there's me and there's you And there's a whole lot more of us If we don't stop trying it'll all add up He came all the way from Atlanta With a Bible in his hand And a dream of America a finer place One of few courageous voices Who believed a man's choices in this life Should not depend upon his race From Selma to Montgomery And all the place in between He had a cause and justice was its name And before they cut him down In that angry delta town Life for the black man would never be the same He came all the way from heaven... |
07 The Heartland
Words: Rob Frazier and Pam Mark Hall Music: Rob Frazier I have been waiting I have been waiting for You Here in the early morning light I'm longing to meet You Lord, I hunger for Your nearness Once again to feel Your tenderness I have been praying I have been listening for You Have mercy on me, Lord, I cry And come to my rescue I can't face myself without You I'm a wasteland till You make me new Breaking my fear, reaching me here In the heartland Speaking so clear, meeting me here In the heartland I have been watching I have been searching for You Open my eyes and let me see How close You are to me In this place where no one else has been Saviour, come and hold me once again Breaking my fear, reaching me here In the heartland Tasting my tears, loving me here In the heartland Speaking so clear, meeting me here In the heartland Healing my soul, making me whole In the heartland Bless the Lord, my heart Bless the Lord, my soul Speak the word, Lord Make me whole |
08 Peer Pressure
Words and music: Rob Frazier and Hunter Moore Your mouth is dry, hands are wet You stomach's tied in knots Your mind is like a battlefield Your nerves are shot Your heartbeat pounds like a big bass drum How long can you hold out? You're coming under peer pressure About to get the best of you Coming under peer pressure You might to something you don't want to do "Who is in; who is out Forge the right or wrong" You feel the heat of conformity Beggin' you to go along You want to stand up for yourself But you're more afraid of standing out Try to remember right from the start What gets lost in the squeeze Is who you really are You keep givin' in the easier it gets Soon there'll be nothing left of you You better watch out! Now I know how hard it can be To try to stand against the crowd But don't forget It's your self-respect we're talkin' about Cause when it's all been said and done Your friends have gone and you're all alone How much are you worth anyhow |
09 Out In The Open
Words and music: Rob Frazier and Hunter Moore We used to be the best of friends Through the worst of times we've been together Always together What's come between me and you Hard feelings and the words are few We're dying It's now or never We gotta get it out Out in the open Expose it to the light of day So that we can see We gotta get it out Out in the open Let the truth break down the wall Between you and me This thing keepin' us apart We try to hide it down in our hearts But can't you see we gotta face it It doesn't matter who's wrong or right Is what we're losing really worth this fight? Without honesty we can't erase it Anger and bitterness Should have no place in this Let's speak the truth in love And the Lord will be our guide |
10 Can't Get Too Much Of You
Words and music: Chip Bernard and Rob Frazier I've thought a long time About this life and all the things to be gained If I had to lose You There'd be no pleasure I'd trade them all for You And I can't get too much I can't get too much I can't get too much of You If I could have riches Fame or glory Or even the power to rule All of these things would just leave me empty But I can't get too much of You I can get too much of the latest fashion Too much MTV Too much of other people Trying to make a hero out of me I can get too much money Too much religion too But when I think of You, Jesus I could never have too much of You |
11 Still Small Voice
Words and music: Rob Frazier Highways run all across my heart Highways run to the wildest part Here I stand at the crossroads How will I know the way to go? Cause I have been to the holy book At time of prayer I have not overlooked But there's a thin, thin line next to compromise That I might cross over without a guide Then a still small voice whispers in my ear A still small voice only I can hear When the Spirit speaks I must make my choice To heed or ignore the still small voice The Christian life is a battleground And far too often I've laid my weapons down And there are times I haven been confused But now I know there is no excuse It's a voice that gives me courage A voice that makes me strong It's a voice that gives me wisdom To know the right, the right from wrong It's a voice that calls me gently But it's a voice I must obey It's the voice of God within me And He's showing me the way |
