"Brand New Day" Verse 1: Ever since I met the Savior, He has changed my life in so many ways, Things don't seem to be the way they used to be, Seems like it's going to be a new day, There's a song in my heart, That gives me a new start, I'm so glad that I'm alive, In Him I will always abide, It's a brand new day, Verse 2: Every day is like the sunshine, Now I can see the light, All the days behind me are in the past, Now my life seems to be all right, Their is something in the air, It seems to be everywhere, Like the wind blowing free, He makes me what I want to be. It's a brand new day, It's a brand new day.

"Standing In The Light" Verse 1: Standing in the dark I feel so far apart, Standing in the dark, You got to change my heart, Standing in the dark, and I'm falling all apart, Cause I'm standing in the dark. Verse 2: Standing in the road, got no where to go, Standing in the road, You got to fill my soul, Standing in the road, and I'm feeling such a load, And I'm standing in the road. Bridge: And if I drift to far away, Lord You got to help me find my way. Verse 3: Standing in the light, precious in His sight, Standing in the light, with power and with might, Standing in the light, and I want to make it right, When I'm standing in the light.

I Love You 02:10
"I Love You" Chorus: I love You, I love You, And there's nothing that can take the place of You, Lord, I love You, And there’s nothing that can take the place of You, I guess I really love You. Bridge: Used to be, I had nowhere to go, Then You came, and love is all I know,

"Who Really Cares" Verse 1: I look all around and what do I see, People dying like you and me, Living their lives with lust in their eyes, But where, where are the cries? The Light has grown dim, a hard heart within, The church is filled with such sin, The vision of souls was yesterday's woes, The flesh is out of control! Chorus: And who really cares? Who really shares? The word of truth to people out there? They'll never know if we don't go! If we aren't aware; Then who really cares? Verse 2: Relaxed and at ease, your flesh you will feed, But where, where are the seeds? You push and you shove for your earthly loves, And God is calling above, If He is Your song, how have you gone wrong? Have you been this way long? So where are the tears for souls lost for years? His coming is so very near!

Broken 02:52
"Broken" Verse 1: Lord, sometimes I think I've done it on my own, I guess I should have known, It never could be me, 'Cause Lord, You're the one that really makes me what I am, And You're the guiding hand, And I just need to be, Chorus: Broken, I need to be broken, Please take me Lord and break me of my pride, Oh-oh-oh, broken, I need to be open, To what Your Spirit Lord is telling me, Telling me inside. Verse 2: Lord, You said if I would only seek Your face, That I would know Your grace, And You would draw to me, 'Cause Lord, You know I'm nothing, I'm nothing without You, All things in me You do, And I just want to be,

"The Criminals Prayer" Verse 1: I watched them as they beat Him, they spat upon His head, And several times I turned around remembering what He said, And even though I cursed Him when He has passed my way, I knew down deep inside, some day I’d have to pay, Because I knew He was the Son of God, Yes I knew He was the Son of God, Verse 2: Then the soldier pushed me, he said to move along, I asked them why they brought Him and what He had done wrong, Suddenly the cross fell, it knocked Him to His knees, It fell right upon His back, I knew that they'd soon see, That He was the Son of God, Yes He was the Son of God, Verse 3: The sun shined down upon us as we made it to the top, On a hill called, Golgatha, I watched as He was mocked, I too began to wonder and I turned to Him and screamed, If You are the Son of God, You’ll make them all believe, But I knew He was the Son of God, Yes I knew He was the Son of God, Verse 4: Then they laid us down and nailed us to those trees, I knew down deep inside this man could make me free, As the crosses were lifted, it seemed we hung for hours and hours, It was there I saw His love, and there I felt His power, And I knew He was the Son of God, Yes I knew He was the Son of God, Verse 5: I turned my head toward Him, I said, “Lord remember me!” And He spoke I felt His peace, I knew that I was free, The sky turned dark, the sun was gone as He lifted up His head, With all His love He gave His life, I knew that He was dead, And He was the Son of God, Yes He was the Son of God, Ending Tags: Remember me, remember me, Oh Lord, Remember me, Lord, remember me, Remember me, remember me, Oh Lord, Lord, remember me!

"Back in the Acts" Verse 1: Well I'm back in the Acts readin bout the Holy Spirit, On the day of Pentecost they were all in one accord, Like a rushing mighty wind from Heaven, You could hear it, With cloven tongues of fire, it fell on them like never before, Then they received power, They spoke in tongues that hour, The peoples eyes couldn't believe, Yes, too much wine it must be, Oh, but we knew they were free, Oh, how I wish I could see, Back in the Acts! Verse 2: Well, in the last days I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh, Men and women prophesy young men will see visions in sight, Your old men will dream dreams, even on my servants I will bless, Wonders on the heavens above, signs on the earth day and night, Blood and fire and smoke waves, Moon turned to blood, no sun rays, Before the coming of that day, The lord shall return we will see, Call his name and you will be free, Oh how great it will be, Back in the Acts!

Psalm 150 02:16
"Psalm 150" Verse: Praise ye the Lord in the sanctuary, Praise Him in the firmament of His power, Praise Him for His mighty acts, According to His excellent greatness, Chorus 1: Sound of the trump, psaltery and harp, harp, Timbrel and dance, And let everything praise the Lord that hath breath, Let everything praise the Lord that hath breath, Let everything praise the Lord. Chorus 2: Stringed instruments organs, high cymbals, Sounding so loud, And let everything praise the Lord that hath breath, Let everything praise the Lord that hath breath, Let everything praise the Lord.
9.
The Signs 04:38
"The Signs" Verse 1: If the grass wasn't green, and the sky wasn't clean, You would know that God wasn't here, If the trees wouldn't grow, and wind wouldn't blow, You would know the world would be in fear, Chorus: But I know God is in my soul, He's with me everywhere i go, And all my life is all for Him, And He will always be my friend. Verse 2: If the people in this land would only understand, That there isn't to much time, If wars begin to break, and love turns to hate, You would just begin to see the signs, Verse 3 If your life is in sin, and your searching deep within, Just look to God up above, If you don't like the life you live, And something's just got to give, Just look to God for his love,

"Oh, My Little Children" (The Father's Cry Against Abortion) Verse 1: Oh My little children, I have formed Your inward parts, I have set you apart to call me Lord, Oh My little children, weaved in your mothers womb, As gifts I give to whom, as My reward, For you were fearfully and wonderfully made, But I’ve watched them take Your life away, My spirit will not always strive with all men, I will not put up with this sin! No! No! No! Chorus: For your frame was not hidden from Me, When you were made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth, I’ve seen your unborn substance, in my books they have been written, And the days that were ordained for you, and your birth, When yet there was not one of them. Verse 2: Oh My little children, I have heard your silent scream, Felt the pain and suffering, incurred by man, Oh My little children, I am angered at this loss, Of this daily holocaust, my little lambs, For you were fearfully and wonderfully made, But I’ve watched them take your life everyday, And just as they crucified My only son, There killing all My little ones! No! No! No! Verse 3: Oh My little children, how I love you little ones, In the image of My Son, you have been formed, Oh My little children, I have watched you as you’ve died, I have grieved, and I have cried, My heart has mourned, For you were fearfully and wonderfully made, But I’ve watched them make you so afraid, I cannot let all this cruel killing pass, I must pour out my wrath! YES! YES! YES!
11.
"Daddy’s Song" Verse 1: It’s a boy, what a joy, blessing from the Lord, A child so wonderful, what else could I ask for, Little toes, Daddy’s nose, they say he looks like me, He is so helplessly depending on me, Chorus: But I know I want him to love the Lord like I do, I know it all depends on me, if he will be, A servant of the Lord God on high, Love Him till the day he dies, I know, I know, it all depends on me. Verse 2: Won’t be long, he’ll be grown, the years will pass right by, My boy will become a man, his childhood days will die, Was I right, oh son, please see the light, I know You won’t go wrong, I know Your watching me, Lord, help me to be strong,

about

Broken was released In 1983, and was my first contemporary Christian-Rock vinyl album with 9 original songs. It was recorded in Charlotte, NC and produced and arranged by Paul Nabb, a very gifted musician/guitar player, who also wrote the instrumental track, "Upper Room", as an intro to the song, "Back In The Acts".

The musicians (see credits) who accompanied me on this album, were all part of the original orchestra band from the 80's Christian show, "PTL", which also included the well known brother and sister duo, BB & CC Winan.

Included with this collection of eleven tracks, are two bonus tracks, "Oh My Little Children", an anti-abortion song written from the perspective of God's heart, and "Daddy's Song", a song about the birth of my son, Samuel Paul Gatlyn. Both songs were also produced in 1986 by Paul Nabb with the same musicians.
