ROB FRAZIER'S BLUES FARMERS - JAMMIN' THE BLUES

01 Alive And Kickin'
Words and music: Rob Frazier and Vince Wilcox

I'm alive and kickin'
Jumping all over the place
I'm alive and kickin'
Living proof of amazing grace
Well I was dead in sin
But now I'm here to say
I'm alive and kickin' today

I was down for the count, dead out on the floor
Everybody said, "You won't be getting up any more"
God looked down and had mercy on me
Picked me up and got me on my feet

Well, I'd made a mess of almost everything I'd done
And I must confess there was nowhere else to run
God saw me in the shape I was in
He said, "You're not really living till you're born again"

I'm gonna write a little letter
Gonna mail it to my local DJ
It's a rock n' roll record
I want my jockey to play
It's the Naked Farmers
We're alive and kickin' today
02 Jesus Freak
Words and music: Rob Frazier

Well my friends wonder what has happened to me
I talk about Jesus constantly
Call me a Jesus freak
Yeah, they call me a Jesus freak
I don't care what they say
He took my blues away

I been hanging round the church both night and day
I like spending time with my new family
Call me a Jesus freak
You can call me a Jesus freak
I don't care what they say
He took my blues away

Well, you can be crazy 'bout Elvis, crazy 'bout sports
But if you're just a little bit crazy about the Lord
They call you a Jesus freak
Yeah, they call you a Jesus freak
But don't you worry about what they say
No, no, no

A Jesus freak, the might call you a Jesus freak
Don't you worry about what they say
No, no, no
A Jesus freak, they used to call me a Jesus freak
I can still remember what they'd say
But I don't care anymore
Cause He took my blues away
03 Bye Bye Bye
Words and music: Peter Shurley

I said bye bye bye to an old way of walkin'
I said bye bye bye to an old way of talkin'
I said bye bye bye to an old way of thinkin'
I said bye bye bye to an old way of livin'

I said hi hi hi to a better day
Hi hi hi to a brand new day
I said hi hi hi
I've been born again

I said bye bye bye to a love of money
I said bye bye bye and you know it ain't funny
I said bye bye bye to a whole lot of cryin'
I said bye bye bye to a whole lot of lyin'
04 Back To The Garden
Words and music: Rob Frazier and Joseph Perry

Walking down a pilgrim road
I met a man with a radio
Coming from Philadelphia
Bound for utopia Second generation
Of the Woodstock nation
He said I got to get back there
Grow me some long hair

But I'm asking him
How far do you have to go
To find what you're looking for
How much will you pay
On your way back to the garden

All the time that's come and gone
Still we're singing the same song
Still believing the fantasy
That love can be free
Sex, drugs and rock n' roll
Yeah, they've taken a heavy toll
Broken lives and families
Like some kind of disease

But I'm asking him
How far do you have to go
To find what you're looking for
How much will you pay
On your way back to the garden
Back to Eden

Peace, love and understanding
That's what everybody needs
But till we do a little heart transplanting
We're never dealing with human greed
And all the other evils of the human race
How we corrupt, destroy and otherwise deface
The image of God that was placed in us
There's only one way and that's Jesus
To get back to the garden
Back to Eden
05 Reason For Being
Words and music: Peter Shurley

In the silence of this moment
I think of all you mean to me
And as I look at those around me
It's your character I see
And I know, yes, I know

You're my reason for being
My reason for living
You're my reason for being
My reason for living
You're my reason for being
My reason to live

A different purpose, different name
But in your image we're the same
And may your will be made complete
Through these blessings we've received
And I know, yes, I know
06 No Conviction Blues
Words and music: Peter Shurley

I see people every day
With no conviction in their lives
I see people every day
With no conviction in their lives
When you don't know Jesus
Then you don't know wrong from right

You never can walk
On both sides of the fence
You never can walk
On both sides of the fence
There's only one way
That ever makes any sense

I see people in the town
Not looking up but looking down
Never really knowing
What's going down
I see people every day
With no conviction in their lives
When you don't know Jesus
Then you don't know wrong from right

When there's no black and white
Then everything seems so gray
When there's no black and white
Then everything seems so gray
When you don't know Jesus
Then you can't tell night from day
07 One Love / People Get Ready
Words and music: Bob Marley / Curtis Mayfield

One love, one heart
Let's get together and feel alright
One love, one heart
Let's sing praise to the Lord
And we will feel alright
Let's get together and feel alright

People get ready
There's a train a-comin'
Don't need no ticket
You just get on board
It's just around the bend
Hear those diesels hummin'
Don't need no money
You just praise the Lord

Let's get together
To fight this holy Armageddon
So when the Man comes
He will find no doom
Let's remember those
Upon whom we should have compassion
For there is no hiding out
From the Father of creation
08 Go For The Doctor
Words and music: Peter Shurley

When I was a lad
I was hurting real bad
I said hey preacher man
What's the plan?
He said I got something for you
Here's what you should do
Get down on your knees
And call for the Doctor of your soul

He's the Doctor
The Doctor of your soul
He's the only one
Who makes me feel whole

Well I took his advice
There ain't no thinking twice
I got peace of mind
And that's what you'll find
So don't hesitate
It could be too late
Just put in a call
To the Doctor of your soul

Now this Doctor Man
I am His greatest fan
I can think Him enough
For His healing touch
When He comes your way
Invite Him to stay
It's time to go
For the Doctors of your soul
09 Everywhere
Words and music: Rob Frazier

If I rise up into heaven
Or make my bed in the earth below
You will be there
Cause this I know
Lord, You're everywhere

And if I take the wings of the morning
Or travel down to the sea
Even there, my Lord, You'll be guiding me
Cause You're everywhere

Everywhere
Lord, You're everywhere
Everywhere
But what's amazing to believe
Is that You live inside of me

You have known me and all my days
Since before the worlds began
Every secret thought You understand
Lord, You're everywhere

So search me and know my thought
Know my anxieties
And see if there be any wicked way in me
And lead me in the path that's everlasting
10 When The Going Gets Tough
Words and music: Rob Frazier

When the going gets tough
The tough get going
When the ride is rough
You better keep rowing
When the going gets tough
The tough get going
When the tide is high
Keep your head above water
When it's truth or a lie
Do what you oughta
When the going gets tough
The tough get going

Well, there's a train called trouble
Coming down the track my way
Sometimes it seems like
Life is getting harder each day
When I've been carrying
The weight of the world
And I'm trying to get free
Well, I remember these words
That my Daddy said to me

Yeah, I was standing by the water
Wondering if I oughta get in
Last time around I go
All tangled up in sin
Saying no to temptation
Isn't always easy to do
But I feel a little stronger
Every time I make it through
That's why I'm saying to you
11 I'm So Glad
Words and music: Adam Lester

I'm so glad cause Jesus is my king
I'm so glad cause Jesus is my king
I'm so glad He is my king
He filled my heart with love
He's my everything
I'm so glad cause Jesus is my king

I'm so glad cause Jesus set me free
I'm so glad cause Jesus set me free
I'm so glad that He set me free
I'm gonna worship Him for eternity
I'm so glad cause Jesus set me free

I'm so glad cause Jesus lives in me
I'm so glad cause Jesus lives in me
I'm so glad that He lives in me
I'm gonna tell the world so the blind will see
I'm so glad cause Jesus lives in me
