GOOD NEWS
words & music by Larry L Campbell c2000
Verse 1:
Come on, listen to me, we've got something real, not like that junk on tv.
It's an everlasting light, that some refuse to see, like a Jerry Springer. Somehow, we've got to be, salt in a world that's lost all seasoning, a light in the dark, for those too blind to see, like the Ray Charles singers.
Hey, any ole fool can turn away, ignoring the price that Christ has paid, Freedom to choose, and choosing to lose, hey, it's up to you and me to say, there's is no need to live that way, we have GOOD NEWS, freedom to choose.
Verse 2:
Don't be fooled by the sea, the sea of endless souls that go on endlessly, laughing as they build, their homes by the sea, on the shifting seashore. They need, foundations to be, built on the rock, to prevent the raging sea, from tossing them around, like a feather in the breeze, need I say more?
Hey, any ole fool can drift away, drowning in the latest fad that day, freedom to choose, and choosing to lose. Hey, it's up to you and me to say, there is no need to live that way. We have GOOD NEWS, freedom to choose.

AMAZING GRACE
(public domain)
Arrangement by Larry l Campbell 2000
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound, saved a wretch like me. I was lost but now I'm found, I was blind, but now I see. It was grace it was God's great grace that taught my heart to fear. And it was grace that very same grace that all my fears, all my fears were relieved.
How precious, oh how precious did that grace appear. The hour, the very hour I first believed, I first believed in You my Lord, I first believed in your holy word, and I first believed in grace.
Through many dangers, toils & snares, I have already come. Grace has brought me safe thus far and grace will lead me home. Back to your grace.
When we've been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, we've no less days to sing God's praise than when we first begun.

DON'T IT MAKE YOU WONDER
words & music by Larry L Campbell c2000
Verse 1:
So, you say you're wondering, and you don't know where to go.
You were raised up in the church, but you say you still don't know.
God's love is all around but you say you still don't see.
Mercy and Grace surround's you enough to set you free.
Oh, don't it make you wonder?
Verse 2:
So, you say you're like a ship floating out to sea.
Sinking in the crashing waves and drowning in your own pity.
You say you've wondered now in darkness for so long.
You must have missed God's brilliant light with your cool sunglasses on.
Chorus:
Oh, don't it make you wonder, how long you'll wander.
Trying to find, the light that nearly blinded you,
Oh don't it make you wonder?
Verse 3:
So, you say you're searching for a peace you've never known.
you call yourself a traveler searching for your inner zone.
You've wasted so much time searching for what's been so close.
You've denied the very love that you've needed most.

KNOCKING AT THE DOOR
words & music by Dennis Norton c2000
I was lost and wandering, and I could not find my way, sinking in the tempest that surrounded me, drowning in the darkness of the day. I walked along the path that was meant for me, and I began to see the light. The unforeseen has happened to my destiny. the way is lit and I've regained my sight.
Chorus:
Jesus was knocking at my door, Jesus saw a soul here to restore and all I had to do was let Him inside, repent all my sins and with me He'll abide. Jesus was knocking at the door.
He comes to seek us when we are lost, and to save us with His grace for all have sinned and fallen short of His glory, but He' faithful and just in every case. Forsake your evil ways and thoughts then turn to Him, with His mercy He'll forgive, receive this gift with faith because if you believe in his kingdom, you will always live...
(Chorus)
Now I am a child of God, with Jesus in my heart Christ has died for all my sins; I've got a brand-new start. So, if you're lost and wandering, and he knocks at your door, anyone can answer and let Him inside and He'll break bread with you forever more.
(Chorus)

JESUS IS THE LIGHT
words & music by Larry L Campbell c1980
Verse 1:
Jesus is the light that shines a path along the way,

If you're waiting contemplating not sure which road to take,
just follow the Man with the master plan and He'll give your life a break.
Verse 2:
If you're empty, you're all alone and no one's by your side.

He is the Hope that helps you cope with what you leave behind
Chorus:
Follow Jesus, He'll take you where you've never been before.
Follow Jesus, He's the fisher of all men and more.
I call Him Saviour. cause He takes away my sin,
I call Him Saviour; cause He's coming back again.

If your life is like the breeze and it's shifting with the wind,
caught between the crossfire of a stranger and a friend.
A battle for your soul is taking place within your mind.
Just give your life to Jesus Christ and leave the past behind.

MIDDLE GROUND
words & music by Larry L Campbell c1999
A true story about two dreamers, I'll just call them Bod & Sue,
Every Friday night they cruise down the boulevard - and they would...
Split a six pack underneath the stars, while sitting on their hood.
They fell in love with each other, decided to start a family.
Signed a mortgage, bought some furniture and hung some drapes...and they, decided to live their lives just a little bit more respectfully.
So, they went to church every Sunday, wanted their kids to grow up right, but on the way to work each Monday they would lose the fight...they would,
come up short of what they knew God intended them to be.
Chorus:
Oh, that MIDDLE GROUND is... such a safe place,
living lukewarm and leaving no trace.
Oh, that middle ground is such a hopeless place to be.
Little Bobby starred in football, until he blew out his knew,
now Bob and Sue watch their son slowly drift away...and they,
don't know what to do or say, they just stand by helplessly.
And little Suzy she won't talk much, no one cared to find out why,
all the anger that's inside her might just explode,
so, Bob & Sue are too afraid to find out what they might ignite.
(Chorus)
Now the kids have gone to college, but they grew up so respectfully,
Bob works out in the woodshop making useless things, and he...
worries about Sue waiting by the phone just hoping it will ring.
And every evening on the back porch,
swinging on the back porch swing,
Same old questions about the weather, do you think it'll rain...and they,
never talk about the emptiness that robbed them of their dreams.
(Chorus)

DRIVIN'
words & music by Larry L Campbell c1999
On my way to church just a few weeks ago, I know you won't believe it but I tell you it's so. Mindin' my own business stayin' in my own lane, everyone around my driving like they're insane. I looked in the mirror and saw a man with gray hair, inches from my bumper with his fist in the air.
I sped up just a little to give him some space, I didn't know he'd take it as a challenge to race, he yelled something to me as he flew past my door, oh it seemed so right to smash the peddle to the floor, the next thing you know we're driving side by side, weaving thru the traffic at hundred and five.
I let him take the lead, the Christain thing to do, a moment of mercy for a moment or two, but then I felt complelled to pass him back and slow down just a little, I wasn;t sure which lane to pick, so I drove right oin the middle, He rolled down his window and tried to run me off the street, he mentioned my poor mama and said things I cant repeat.
Chorus;
I can only pray the good Lord will understand, love is not enough when there's a wheel in your hands...and you're drivin'.
He took the next off ramp I followed in pursuit,
I could not wait to meet this man who thinks he is so cute,
He pulled into a parking lot and jumped out of his car,
waving his arms and strutting' like he was a star,
Imagine my surprise it almost knocked me off my perch,
the gray-haired man turned out to be the pastor of my church.
(Chorus)

DON'T LET ME FALL
words & music by Larry L Campbell c1999
Sometimes I don't know which way to turn, and I feel a little out of it.
Sometimes I don't know which candle to burn,
and then sometimes both ends are lit.
Lately my songs have been a little bit blue,
and the words don't seem to fit.
Lately I've not spent that much time with you,
and I think that's a part of it.
Chorus:
Lord don't let me fall, don't let me drift away,
don't let me lose the call, oh that's all I've got to say.
Every now and then doubt will creep in, makes our vision hazy,
The world is spinning faster and the faster it spins; it's driving people crazy.
Sometimes I don't know who's right or who's wrong, it's all so confusing. The battle for good goes on and on, sometimes I think we're losing.
(Chorus)

GENIE IN A BOTTLE
words & music by Larry L Campbell and Jessica Campbell c2000
Verse 1:
Every time I look around, I see people falling to the ground,
Don't know why they act that way don't they know there's a better way.
Same old mistakes, same old repeats,
never seem to get back on their feet,
Vicious cycle like a merry go round,
they're never up cause they're always down.
Verse 2:
A world that's lost, and needing hope,
try anything just to help them cope,
don't know why they act that way,
don't they know there's a better way.
In such a hurry, they can't be last,
going nowhere but they'll get there fast,
vicious cycle like a merry go round,
their never up cause they're always down.
Chorus;
In their eyes you can see a sadness of a lifetime filled with pain,
It's like you're watching an old home movie...
where the years may change but the actors stay the same,
Sometimes it feels just like you're trapped with no way out,
like a genie in a bottle, and sometime the road of life is filled with doubt, you better let up on the throttle,
and plead the name the holy name of Christ, and let Him in.

SOLID ROCK (public domain)
Arrangement by Larry L Campbell a2000
My hope is built on nothing less, than Jesus' blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus' name.
Chorus:
On Christ the solid rock I stand, all other ground... that I have found...
is sinking sand, all other ground...is sinking.
When darkness seems to hide your face,
I'll rest on Your unchanging grace.
Through every high and stormy gale my anchor holds within the vale.
