Stand Up!
Words and music by Don Francisco Copyright 2000

So What's it gonna be -- Letter or Spirit?
What's it gonna be -- Prison or Free?
What's it gonna be -- The Heart of the Father
Or the slav'ry of a second Sinal
And the black-and-white religion
Of the salesmen of captivity? No!

1st Chorus:
For the truth of the Gospel
Stand up!
Don't live in slav'ry again
Stand up!
In the freedom of Jesus
Don't give in for a moment
To the traditions of men

1st Verse:
Nobody's ever gotten right with God
By keepin' a religion o' rules
If a Christian gets twisted into believin' like that, you know
The Bible even calls him a fool
Because it's only grace, and faith in Jesus
That got us into the Kingdom at all
And if someone says it's different now you're born again
Man, they're headin' for a nasty fall

2nd Chorus:
For the truth of the Gospel
Stand up!
Don't wear those shackles again
Stand up!
In the freedom of Jesus
Don't give in for a moment
To the traditions of men

2nd Verse:
If you really get a hold of the Gospel
It's almost too good to be true:
Everything's bought and paid for--
And your spirit's made righteous and new!
'Cause God's judgement fell on Jesus
And now there's none of it left for you
Your life's been hidden with Christ in God
There's nothin' left for you to do...

3rd Chorus:
For the truth of the Gospel
Stand up!
Don't get entangled again
Stand up!
In the freedom of Jesus
Don't give in for a moment
To the traditions of men

4th Chorus:
For the truth of the Gospel
Stand up!
Don't live in slav'ry again
Stand up!
In the freedom of Jesus
Don't give in for a moment
To the traditions of men
Don't give in for a moment
To the traditions of men

Whatever He Says
Words and Music Copyright 2001 by Don Francisco

There was a wedding one warm summer evening
A happy and festive affair
Jesus and his five disciples attended
And even His mother was there
O the singing and dancing were merry
And the eating and drinking were fine
But then the unthinkable happened--
And they ran out of wine

When Mary told Jesus the problem
He said to her, "Why come to Me?
You should know just like I know
That My time has not yet come to be."
But His mother just called all the servants,
And pointed Him out to the crew
She said, "That's the one who can fix it.
Whatever He says to you, do."

There was six pots of stone there for washing,
And when the servents came over to Him
Jesus said, "Fill those pots up with water."
So they filled them up to the brim.
Then He said, "See the wedding director--
The man with the scowl on his face?
Take a cup of that stuff in the pots now--
Walk over and give him a taste."

And when the director had tasted
That miraculous, heavenly brew
He didn't know where it had come from
But the servents -- they all knew
So he called to the bridegroom and told him,
"This is the first rule of party know-how:
Serve the good stuff first
Then bring out the worse--
But you've kept the best 'til now!
You serve the good stuff first
Then bring out the worse--
But you've kept the best 'til now!

So no matter the size of the problem
Or who made the biggest mistake
If it's just a personal matter
Or if the whole planet's at stake
Remember those words that were spoken
A mother's words ever so true--
"Whatever He says to you -- listen!
Whatever He says to you, do
Whatever He says to you -- listen!
Whatever He says
Whatever He says
Whatever He says, you just do!"

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father Who is in Heaven
Hallowed and worshipped be your Name
May Your Kingdom come and Your will be done
Here on this earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us all our debts as we forgive our debtors
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from every evil
For the Kingdom and the power are Yours forever
The Kingdom and power, and the glory are Yours forever

Only Love Is Spoken Here
Words and Music copyright 2001 by Don Francisco

Verse 1
There is a temple without walls, marble columns, or polished halls
Built upon the Living Stone; made for you and you alone

Verse 2
It isn't far from where you stand distracted by this world's demands
Just inside and up the stair, a Friend is sitting, waiting there

Chorus 1
You can leave your cares behind, the empty chatter of your mind
Come and rest, no need to fear
Only love is spoken here, only love is spoken here

Verse 3
Words like arrows take their toll; the enemy attempts control\
Dark clouds blow across the soul; but through each storm the anchor holds

Chorus 2
You can leave the past behind, the anxious turning of your mind
Come and rest, no need to fear
Only love is spoken here, only love is spoken here

Verse 4
Now nothing shakes the peace within a place that can't be touched by sin
Where, through it all, both day and night, the Spirit shines His holy light

Chorus 3
Here in Me you stand complete, except to let Me wash your feet
Come and rest, no need to fear
Only love is spoken here, only love is spoken here
Come and rest, no need to fear
Only love is spoken here...

Lean Hard On Me
Words and Music copyright 2001 by Don Francisco

Lean hard on Me, Lean hard on Me
I'll stand the strain, I'll break the chains and set your soul free
Lean hard on Me, Lean hard on Me
Don't be afrain--I am the Rock
Lean hard on Me

There's a Rock that can never be shakin,
A Rock that's so mighty and high
Unmoved since the days of the prophets and ages gone by
The Cornerstone and the Fountain -- Who was, and Who is, and Will be
That rock is your God and your Brother,
So lean hard on Me

Lean hard on Me, Lean hard on Me
I'll break the chains, I'll take the pain, and set your soul free
Lean hard on Me, Lean hard on Me
Don't be afrain--I am the Rock
Lean hard on Me

When you stand on the words I command you,
Sometimes you'll stand on your own
Friends that were there in fair weather will leave you alone
But no matter the depth of the darkness--
Wherever you are I will be
So don't let your heart be troubled--
Lean hard on Me

Lean hard on Me, Lean hard on Me
I'll stand the strain, I'll take the pain and set your soul free
Lean hard on Me, Lean hard on Me
Don't be afraid -- I am the Rock Lean hard on Me
Don't be afraid -- I am the Rock Lean hard on Me

Pants
Words and Music by Don Francisco Copyright 2001

On the day before my wedding just a few short years ago
My dad sat down and told me, "Son, there's some things you ought to know.
I'm gonna tell you a little story about my wedding night
If you'll things the way I did, everything will turn out right.

"Your Mom and went to our suite, and when the luggage boy had gone
I handed her my pants, and I said, "Honey, try these on!"
She tried, but said, "I can't wear these." I said, "You've got that right
I wear the pants, and don't forget what you've just learned tonight."

So I took my dad's advice, and did just like he said to do
But then my wife gave me her pants, and said, "Now you try, too!"
I said, "I can't get into these!" She said, "You got that right!
You never will get in my pants 'til you learn to treat me right!"

Now my mind's not lightnin' fast, but all at once I had a hunch
That in this part'lar area Dad might be out to lunch
So I told my wife, "I've been set up! I was blind, but now I see!
And if nobody wears the pants that'll be just fine with me!"

Well, Dad's got an apartment now-I guess Mom had enough
After all these years of knucklin' down, she fin'lly called his bluff.
As for us -- we're really happy, tho', cause we don't play those games

I love my wife and she loves me, and we both love the same.
I love my wife and she loves me, and we both love the same.
