01 Walkin' In The Light
Words and music: Bob Hartman

I'm rockin' with the Rock
Rollin' on the road that takes me to the King
I've been up and down your city
And I wish you could see all the love you need

Walkin' in the light every day and night
Livin' in the Spirit, really out of sight
Walkin' in the light every day and night
Livin' in the Spirit, really out of sight

I know you've given me Your Spirit
Peace in my heart, a new song to sing
I'm giving love to all of my brothers
And I wish you could see all the joy it brings

I'm rockin' with the Rock
Rollin' on the road that takes me to the King
I'm tellin' all my friends about You
And I wish they could see all the love You bring
02 Mountains And Valleys
Words and music: Bob Hartman

Standing high on a mountain, I can see forever
All the parts in the puzzle seem to be together
The sky is clear and the sun shines on me
The Lord is here and I'm feelin' so free

Walking through the valley, darkness falls around me
Walking through the shadows, evil things surround me
I'm not forsaken, the Lord is my light
I know He's making a way in the night

If you've never been in the valley
You'll never know
How high the mountain is above the valley below

When you walk through the valley
You've got to keep your head up
And if you fall or stumble you've got to pick yourself up
The Lord is waiting to hear your heart cry
He'll always give you another try
03 Lucas McGraw
Words and music: Bob Hartman

Lucas McGraw, what's come over you?
We're beginnin' to think you're touched
We heard ya got religion
Ya ain't been 'round to see us much
Ya threw away your corncob pipe
And your jug of moonshine brew
And we hear you ain't been doin'
All those things you used to do

Lucas McGraw what's come over you?
You're shavin' every day
You ain't been chasin' women
And you kissed your wife today
You went to church last Sunday
And ya shook the preacher's hand
And they say you been talkin'
'bout a home beyond this land

Lucas McGraw, what's come over you?
You never cuss no more
We hear you ain't been feudin'
You hung your rifle by the door
Ya take a bath each Sunday
If you need it or not
And ya go to work on Monday
Even when it's hot

Lucas McGraw what's come over you?
We're beginnin' to think you're touched
We hear ya got religion
Ya ain't been 'round to see us much
But ya know we've all been wonderin'
If what you got just might be real
And all the while we're laughin'
Is it really God, is it really God
Is it really God you feel?
04 Wake Up
Words and music: Greg Hough

Wake up!
You think you're having fun
Wake up!
And see what you have done

What do you think you are gonna do?
When you find out what you're really going through?
When there's no one else around
When there's no one to be found
Don't you be too late, there is no certain date
Please don't hesitate, it might just be too late
What are you gonna do?
Lo, why don't you wake up?
See what's going on
Wake up!
Before your time is gone

There's a time that comes in everbody's life
When you can't tell what to think is wrong or right
Don't you feel like you're alone?
No one makes it on their own
But only know you tried
You're never satisified
That's because of pride
Behind that's where you hide
What are you gonna do?
Lo, why don't you wake up?
Open up your eyes
Wake up!
Why can't you see the light?
05 Backslidin' Blues
Words and music: Bob Hartman

Please tell me what makes me feel this way
I've been down to the bottom and I don't want to stay
Tell me what can I do
To get back to You?

I got the blues
Those backslidin' blues

I can see it, I've been on the wrong road
And I'm too tired to carry such a heavy load
Satan's marking me now
I can't take it no more

Have mercy, take me back once again
I'll never be perfect and I sure haven't been
I know that you will
But you know that until
06 Get Back To The Bible
Words and music: Bob Hartman

I don't know what I've been told
Joe Smith has seen Moroni
It's getting so a man can't tell
Who's real and who's a phoney

Get back to the Bible
Telling you the way to go
Jesus is the answer
Everything you need to know

"Hare Krishna" may be fun to sing
But ain't gonna get you to heaven
The only one who's gonna get you there
His number is a perfect seven

Satan worship may be cool and hip
But when are you gonna learn?
There's a place that's set for you and him
Man, you know you're gonna burn
07 Gonna Fly Away
Words and music: Bob Hartman

Dreamin' about flyin' since I was a boy
Never thought I'd see the real McCoy
I think it's safe to say
I finally found the way

Gonna fly away
Gonna fly away

Every day I've been looking in the sky
Hope it's not raining when I start to fly
I bet you think I'm strange
Wait until I'm changed

Where you gonna be when the trumpet blows?
All that's left of me is gonna be my clothes
I'd really like to see
You're flyin' next to me
08 I'm Not Ashamed
Words and music: Greg Hough

I'm not ashamed to say I need You
You satisfy my every need
And when I yield to You and give my love, You always set me free

I'm not ashamed to talk about You
You've given me a love You share
I know You died and rose and will return to meet us in the air

I'm not ashamed I've been forgiven
I have no need to run and hide
And when You take my hand I know that there's no need to be afraid

I'm not ashamed to say I love You
And I know You first loved me
And when I hear Your voice, it keeps me hanging on to what I've got
09 Storm Comin'
Words and music: Bob Hartman

Went to sleep last night and I woke up feeling right
Daylight in my eyes and it seemed to be really bright
I went to the window and I looked up in the sky
I saw the angels coming but I knew it wasn't time to die
I took a look around and I saw the clouds beginnin' to form
I knew we must be near the end because the clouds come before the storm

I know the time is near
Lightning and thunder will soon be here

Storm comin'
And it's coming our way
Storm comin'
And it might come today

I know my days are numbered and I haven't got long to roam
It seems like quite a while I've been feeling like I want to go home
I'm just waiting for the day when Jesus will come and take me by the hand
There's no need to worry, He's gonna take me to the promised land

I hope you'll be there too
Jesus is waiting for you
10 Parting Thought
Words and music: Bob Hartman

Here's a song
Sung with you in mind
Maybe it will make you
Think about Him one more time
And if you can
Please try to understand
Jesus is yours for the asking
