From Out Of The Blue
Words and music by Don Francisco Copyright 1997
I was beat up by the blues so bad
The mornin' looked like midnight come to soon
Even on a starry night all I could see
Was just the dark side of the moon
I was holding tight to my illusions
On the edge of the abyss
Acting like I had directions
To the life that I had missed
When Your touch lit up my soul I didn't think
Such love and power could exist
And from out of the blue You shone into my life
From out of the blue You woke up my heart
From out of the blue You opened my eyes
From out of the blue
Like a lifer in a dungeon
I accepted my existence underground
Even hope was just a mem'ry
From a page some withered sage had scribbled down
I was so bound up in the blues
That I was almost deaf and blind
If I heard the hinges turn
I didn't pay it any mind
Then You turned on all the lights
And everything I knew of life was instantaneously
Completely redefined
And from out of the blue You shone into my life
From out of the blue You woke up my heart
From out of the blue You opened my eyes
From out of the blue
With the power of Your resurrection
And a gentleness I'd never known
At my need and Your love's intersection
You reached out and touched me and made me forever Your own
And from out of the blue You shone into my life
From out of the blue You woke up my heart
From out of the blue You took all my fear
From out of the blue, From out of the Blue, From out of the Blue
And from out of the blue You shone into my eyes
From out of the blue You woke up my heart
From out of the blue You opened my life
From out of the blue
Time For My Friends
Words and music by Don Francisco Copyright 1999
Now as the world is unwinding
And the time of My coming draws near
Let this be a gentle reminding
For those who can listen and hear
My life is new life neverending
But the old and the new cannot blend
I will not prop up a religion
I've only got time for My friends
And I've always got time for My friends
Yes, I've always got time for My friends
And I know that it's true by My Spirit in you
I've always got time for My friends
But sinners are always My friends
Today there's religion abounding
Old casks of watered down wine
The wolves wear such dapper disquises
Only I know the hearts that are Mine
But I still heal the sick and the broken
And I stand with those no one defends
I still want no part of religion
But sinners are always My friends
And you know that it's true by My Spirit in you
I've always got time for My friends
D' you think we're made blind by tradition?
"The problem is you think you can see"
We know the Bible in eleven renditions!
But why won't you just come to Me?"
Yes, I've always got time for My friends
I've always got time for My friends
And yes you know that it's true by My Spirit in you
Yes, I've always got time for My friends
I've always got time for My friends
Yes, I've always got time for My friends
The Rule Of The Spirit

The rule of the Spirit of Life in Christ
The rule of the Spirit of Life in Christ

When He died and rose for me

The rule of the Spirit of Life in Christ
The rule of the Spirit of Life in Christ
Has set me free from sin and death

Jesus redeemed me from every curse
Jesus redeemed me from every curse
When He became a Curse for me
The rule of the Spirit of Life in Christ
The rule of the Spirit of Life in Christ
The rule of the Spirit of Life in Christ
Has set me free from sin and death
The law was the strengh of sin in me
The law was the strengh of sin in me
The law was the strengh of sin in me
But now the Spirit sets me free
The rule of the Spirit of Life in Christ
The rule of the Spirit of Life in Christ
The rule of the Spirit of Life in Christ
Has set me free from sin and death
The rule of the Spirit of Life in Christ
The rule of the Spirit of Life in Christ
The rule of the Spirit of Life in Christ
Has set me free from sin and death
Not by the letter -- the letter kills
Not by the letter -- the letter kills
Not by the letter -- the letter kills
But the Spirit gives me life
The rule of the Spirit of Life in Christ
The rule of the Spirit of Life in Christ
The rule of the Spirit of Life in Christ
Has set me free from sin and death
Prepare The Way
Words and music by Don Francisco Copyright 1998
I am not the One Who is to come
Nor am I Elijah for that day is yet undone
But after me
Comes the Man that every phophet's hoped to see
And He has always been before I ever came to be
I'm just a cry in the wilderness
A plea in the wilderness
I'm just a voice alone in the wilderness
Prepare the way for the Lord
And all my life was ment for just this end
To tell the nation of the Man on whom God's Spirit will descend
This is the One
God's holy and anointed only Son
And this will be the message 'til the day it has been done
I'm just a cry in the wilderness
A plea in the wilderness
I'm just a voice alone in the wilderness
Prepare the way for the Lord
Let every hill and mountain be brought down
Make the valleys and the canyons level ground
Let every crooked life be turned around
Prepare the way for the Lord
To baptize you with water is all I know
But there stands One among you and it's He I came to show
I'm just the crier
But He will end the kingdom of the liar
And He will baptize you into His Spirit and His fire
I'm just a cry in the wilderness
A plea in the wilderness
A voice in the wilderness
Prepare the way of the Lord
I Believe In You (Joseph's Song)
Words and music by Don Francisco Copyright 1998
I hope you'll forgive me
For the thought that I had
When I heard the news and I knew that
I wasn't the dad
I thought that you'd betrayed me
I never imagined what now I know to be true
And I feel so ashamed that I had those doubts about you
It was yesterday mornin'
That I heard it from a cousin of mine
I didn't know what to do
I spent the whole day cryin'
But late last night I had a wonderful dream
An angel told me all about you
And that the baby inside you is something a man didn't do
I want you to know that I feel just the same
I'm so proud that you're mine and you'll carry my name
I don't know what exactly what we're gonna do
But I believe in Him
And I believe in you
Now our fam'lies and the people we know
And the rest of this town
They're already talkin'
You know it's goin' around
But together we'll stand for the truth that we know
until heaven shows us some more
'Cause God's doing something that never has happened before
And I want you to know that I feel just the same
I'm so proud that you're mine and you'll carry my name
I don't know what exactly what we're gonna do
But I believe in Him
And I believe in you
I want you to know that I feel just the same
I'm so proud that you're mine and you'll carry my name
I don't know what exactly what we're gonna do
I believe in Him
And I believe in you

Grace on Grace
Words and music by Don Francisco Copyright 1997
When God came and lived among us
We could see His glory shine
A glory like no one before Him
Nor will be through endless time
Far beyond the pow'r of angels
Wholly God and wholly man
So full of grace and truth and mercy
With a shepard's gentle hand
Moses gave the Law to bind us
The prophets spoke just as they had heard
But Jesus came and lived among us
And we touched the Living Word
Seeing Jesus, we saw the Father
The Great Physician, the sinner's Friend
Loving all who would receive Him
And he loved us to the end
Virgin-born the Son of David
By jealous hatred was crucified
Oh, but the grave just could not hold Him
And He arose, no more to die
Rising sun of life unbounded
The light of all who ever see
And from His overflowing bounty
Grace on grace He gave to you and me
When Jesus came and lived among us
We could see His glory shine
When He ascended to the Father
He made the glory yours and mine
The promised power -- His Holy Spirit
Has come to make our hearts His home
To shine the righteous light of Jesus
Until He comes back to claim His own
'Til He comes back to claim His own
I Love Your Presence Lord
Words and music by Don Francisco Copyright 1998
I love Your presence, Lord
No more do I desire
Immersed in holy love
Baptized in holy fire
Set free to worship You
To soar upon Your wings
To open wide the doors
And let my spirit sing
I love Your presence, Lord
No more do I desire
Immersed in holy love
Baptized in holy fire
The world falls far below
Your Glory comes so near
My heart just overflows
Whenever You are near
I love Your presence, Lord
No more do I desire
Immersed in holy love
Baptized in holy fire
The old is overcome
By life that has no end
And so You fill my soul
With grace and peace again
I love Your presence, Lord
No more do I desire
Immersed in holy love
Baptized in holy fire
Soul Peace
Words and music by Don Francisco Copyright 1997
Soul Peace
I'll give you Soul Peace
Soul Peace
I'll give you Soul Peace if you'll just come to Me
The troubled times that this would is filled with
Can overflow the lonely soul
All the evil and the suff'rin
They take a heavy, deadly toll
But there's no tempest that can touch you
Here in My tower so strong and high
Here by My side there's sweet joy and comfort, yes there is
'Til the storm has passed you by
I'll give you Soul Peace in the shelter of My wings
I'll give you Soul Peace in the rest My Spirit brings
I'll give you Soul Peace in a place your heart can sing
I'll give you Soul Peace underneath my wings
Going your own way all is frustration
With one small candle you cannot see
The soul's in darkness without My Spirit
The limb is lifeless without the tree
But through My blood flows the peace of Heaven
And in My Grace you'll free indeed
Here in My love's light you'll see forever
And safe in My arms you'll find the rest you need
I'll give you Soul Peace -- all your heart's been cryin for
I'll give you Soul Peace -- there's no need to worry any more
I'll give you Soul Peace if you'll just open up that door
I'll give you Soul Peace that you've been longin' for
And when your feet have found the path where I have called you
And you learn to walk beside me in the way
You'll wake up in the mornin' in My Presence
And ease down in My peace at end of day
I'll give you Soul Peace every night and every day
You'll live in Soul Peace every night and day
I'll give you Soul Peace
Soul Peace
I'll give you Soul Peace
I'll give you Soul Peace if you just come to Me
Blessed Is The Man (1998 Version)
Words and music by Don Francisco Copyright 1998
Pride filled my heart and I turned from your mercy
'Til crushed by the burden, I admitted my sin
Then You forgave me and erased all my sorrows
And gave me the joy of Your salvation again
Blessed is the man whose sins are forgiven
Blessed is the man where God sees no wrong
Blessed is the man who cries out to Jesus
Blessed is the man whose sins are all gone
Some men are like horses that lack understanding
Without bit and bridle they run to and fro
But blessed is the man who's confessed his transgressions
I'll lead him and guide him in the way he should go
Blessed is the man whose sins are forgiven
Blessed is the man where God sees no wrong
Blessed is the man who cries out to Jesus
Blessed is the man whose sins are all gone
Blessed is the man whose sins are forgiven
Blessed is the man where God sees no wrong
Blessed is the man who cries out to Jesus
Blessed is the man whose sins are all gone
Blessed is the man whose sins are forgiven
Blessed is the man where God sees no wrong
Blessed is the man who cries out to Jesus
Blessed is the man whose sins are all gone
Blessed is the man whose sins are all gone
Call Nobody Here Your Teacher Child
Words and music by Don Francisco Copyright 1998
Call nobody here your Teacher child
My anointing shouldn't be defiled
Let the heart I gave be free and wild
And you come follow Me
Woven words that make a lie
Webs to capture and control
Like a net that's thrown on high
Settles down upon my soul
So when you see them set the snare
Spread your wings and fly away
A cage awaits you there
Freedom's in the words I say
Call nobody here your Leader child
Flesh and Spirit can't be reconciled
Let the heart I gave be free and wild
You come follow Me
Twisted systems that devour
Pyamids without a friend
Crushing hearts for pride and pow'r
Wars with nothing to defend
Leave it all and rise above
Where my grace shines bright and fair
Far beyond the strife of tongues
I will always meet you there
Call nobody here your Father child
My anointing mustn't be defiled
Let the heart I gave be free and wild
You come follow Me
Call nobody here your Teacher child
My anointing musn't be defiled
Let the heart I gave be free and wild
And you come follow Me
Let the heart I gave be free and wild
And you come follow Me
Come Unto Me
Words and music by Don Francisco Copyright 1999
You that have heard My voice
You know the sound
You have not lost the way
You have been found
The door's standing open wide
It's warm in the light
Life beyond dreams inside
Shining so bright
Come Unto Me
Come Unto Me
I'll be your shelter
Come Unto Me
Th' world still is grinding on
But faith has not failed
Hirelings have come and gone
But love has prevailed
I'm still your Father
You are my own
Your Shield and your Shepard
You're never alone
Come Unto Me
Come Unto Me
I'll be your shelter
Come Unto Me
No one can steal the life
Placed in my care
Sometimes the hardest part's just
Rememb'ring I'm there, but through
Light and through darkness
There's a cloud and a flame
A still small and quiet voice
Calling your name
Come Unto Me
Come Unto Me
I'll be your shelter
Come Unto Me
Come Unto Me
Come Unto Me
I'll be your shelter
Come Unto Me
I'll be your shelter
Come Unto Me
