| 01 Anywhere But In You
Words and music: Rob Frazier There's a right and a wrong way There's a short and a long way There's a road that leads to heaven There's a fire never-ending I don't claim to have the answers But I know there's no use looking for them Anywhere but in You Anywhere but around You Anywhere but in You, Lord There's a choice for every chooser A loud voice for every loser We get every point of view now But there's really nothing new now I don't know how wide the truth is But I know there's no use looking for it Everywhere I go, everyone I know Is working harder just to keep the dream alive Living day to day we get swept away And we forget that You're the reason why Birds sing, flowers grow Life goes on at all There's a time to everything now After winter comes the spring now I find peace in trusting in You After all what else can I do? Cause I've looked in other places All I found was empty spaces |
| 02 Everything Is New Under The Son
Words and music: Rob Frazier Everything just seems so familiar Nothing much changes day to day But can you still recall that fateful day your awful fall And the cry for salvation that you made? Now you just sit there and life happens Your rescue a distant memory Somehow you forgot to close the door, to turn the lock And say those hard goodbyes to yesterday Cause everything is new under the Son When He shines on you new life's begun Don't look back Old things are passed away Everything is new under the Son When He lives in you new life's begun Don't look back Don't look back I hope you know how much I love you That's why these words are hard to say But where's the guarantee your soul is saved eternally When the fruits of repentance don't remain? Change, change will come now or then You will be renewed As you work with His strength Working now in you One little thing You have to want to |
| 03 It Doesn't Work That Way
Word and music: Rob Frazier and Phil Madeira What happened to the man who had a heart for God? Who knew how to love before you got so smart? Before you knew all the answers you had something to share Now you're theologically correct but the Lord don't care Cause you can talk all night how you're the only one who's got it And quote your scripture till the cows come home But hey it doesn't work that way You can't crucify your brother in the name of grace You can't drink the wine of mercy When you're full of hate It doesn't work that way Cause it's love over knowledge that sets us apart You may be right as rain but as long as you're vain you'll have an empty heart Now when you look in the mirror, tell me, who do you see? You may think you're Paul but you're more like Saul - "Why do you crucify Me?" Now you can preach all day against the heretics and fools But you only talk to people just like you Now I don't think I'm any better than you Just because I don't agree with all your views But one thing I know and I know it's true That beating up each other is not what we're supposed to do Now I believe in the Bible and I believe in the truth And teaching sound doctrine is what we ought to do But the truth's not a commodity - no the truth is the truth And it's not a weapon that I can use against you - It doesn't work that way |
| 04 Can An Angel Own A Gun
Words and music: Rob Frazier and Phillip Sandifer I see people on the street In a angry confrontation Singing their anthems of war Intentions are good But is anybody asking What are we doing this far - and now I'm wondering Can an angel own a gun Can you shoot your way to heaven Does it matter how you make your stand for God? Can a hole in someone's head Ever lead them to salvation It's really got me wondering Can an angel own a gun I see crosses on a hill And a million unseen angels Waiting for heaven's command But the word never came And what the world would call disaster Somehow was all in the plan People screaming long and loud From the angry growing crowd Jesus falling to his knees Praying Father - forgive them please |
| 05 Watching Over Me
Words and music: Rob Frazier Sometimes the night was dark and cloudy And my heart was full of doubting But never a day I couldn't say You were not watching over me Though my will was often unbending Your love was never-ending Through my mistakes You showed me grace And you kept on guiding me Sometimes a fire at night Sometimes a dimmer light Other times I just could not see But never a day You were not watching over me As a child I came to know You But I did not always follow Often I fell, You knew it well But You never gave up on me Now my faith in You grows deeper Though the mountainside grows steeper Finally I'm beginning to see That Your love is all I need |
| 06 The Things I Say
Words and music: Rob Frazier I say I believe in a God of love Then I find myself thinkin' of All the ways I could put somebody down Because they hurt my pride somehow I say I believe in a God of peace But the wars inside me never cease How I think - the battle for my mind How I live and how I spend my time I say I believe in a God of grace Then I put somebody in their place Telling them they've crossed the line When God forbid I should pay for my own crimes I say I say what I believe Do I believe the things I say? I say my flesh has learned to die But that's a lie Please help me I say I believe that we're all the same Then I find myself placing blame For the way things are, the mess we're in According to the color of somebody's skin I say I believe that the world is lost Without the message of the cross But still I stay inside my room Afraid to leave the comfort zone I say I believe in a God of grace I say I believe in a God of peace I say I believe in a God of love What is believing made of? It's not the work of human hand It's not the work of understanding It's a gift from heaven I need to seize what You've given |
| 07 Everlasting Love
Words and music: Rob Frazier and Harold Heath I've been thinking of myself Maybe something's wrong I've been looking somewhere else For another song You would have thought by now I'd learned my lesson and be stronger somehow I find myself in desert places Drier than a flame A twist of fate or my own choosing Somehow it's all the same Still You can find me there When I come to my senses and offer a prayer I praise You for Your everlasting Everlasting glory But I thank You for Your everlasting Everlasting love to me I know that both are true Still I depend on You for Your everlasting love I've been living way too fast Running out of time And though I know this pace can't last It's hard to break that grind So much to fill my days Wouldn't I be better comtemplating Your ways? |
| 08 What He Wouldn't Do
Words and music: Rob Frazier and Mike Rayburn What He wouldn't do To get His hands on you What He wouldn't do To make a meal out of you Living life in the same old way Just takin' it from day to day Don't you know there's danger at your back? Cause the enemy is on your track And like a lion he'll be tryin' To catch you in his trap He doesn't always come dressed in vice Sometimes he's subtle and he's often nice He gets you thinkin' it's a good idea To do that evil thing he's whispered in your ear Before you know it you've gone and blown it Now you're cryin' bitter tears Have you got your armor on, have you got your shield of faith To stop those fiery darts that'll surely come your way? Cause there's nothing he likes better than to pull a Christian down But with the Word and Spirit together you will stand your ground Because he'll lie, he'll cheat, he'll pull you on the street He'll knock you down and drag your heart around He'll find you weakness, the thing you can't refuse Money, sex and power are enticements he will use I mean he's trouble, he's danger, you've got to guard your soul One thing is for certain - your ruin is his goal And there's nothing he won't do |
| 09 He Doesn't Want You Better (He Wants You Deader)
Words and music: Rob Frazier and Dave Perkins It all seemed so simple then You found a Saviour, you found a friend You got the chance to start again A brand new look at you But now it's gettin' uncomfortable You feel a battle raging in your soul When to hold on when to let go It's not so easy to do Well they told you God was peace and love Didn't anybody tell you this? He doesn't want you better He wants you deader You're looking for signs and wonders He wants you under Well there's your way and there's my way But the better way is just get out of the way You better beware - you see a cross there Somebody's gonna die He doesn't want you better He wants you deader We're all born under the mark of Cain Got a cancer running through our veins And like a rumor in the middle of your brain It does anything to survive Soon you become your own pimp Trying to correct your own limp One day a monster the next a wimp Just trying to stay alive Now every snake must shed his skin That's the way it's always been The truth is rising from the mist And the word is this: That when Jesus calls a man He calls him to come and die! Dead people don't mind pain Don't get offended so they never complain They're not concerned about personal gain Does that sound like me or you? Is this a thought you can't abide That God has a dangerous side Now you can stand or run and hide But He will do what He will do |
| 10 The Sorrow
Words and music: Rob Frazier Jeannie has a problem - thoughts she can't ignore She used to have a baby - she don't have it anymore Billy was the boy she couldn't live without But after he got word of it he could not be found Oh the sorrow, oh the pain The way lives fall apart is such a shame Barry was a lawyer now he's a prison cell Cause he took some money that belonged to someone else First it was little then became a lot Once greed gets a hold of you it's awfully hard to stop Oh the sorrow, oh the pain When lives fall apart who is to blame Nobody tries to lose it all Or decides to take a fall It's all because of choices that we make It's true that the world is a dangerous place It's easy to lose your way That's why I believe in grace Adam had the symptoms but we got the disease From very poor decision making all about some trees Now it seems so easy for wrong to win the day But truth will triumph in the end cause Jesus is the way Nobody tries to lose it all Or decides to take a fall It's all because of choices that we make Sometimes our passions lead us astray Then our pride gets in the way That's why I believe in grace No one here is righteous No one in this place I believe cause I've received I believe in grace |
