    Under the Big Blue Sky was my very first full recording project and there's always something very special about the first of anything. I usually write songs based on life experiences and this project is full of those kinds of songs, from gardening to saying goodbye to your sister—songs that never seem to get old: "Master Gardener" and "Big Blue Sky".

Big Blue Sky 03:13
Big Blue Sky By Frances Drost Into the big blue sky I watch you fly away Fighting the tears I walk and feelings go running by But deep in my heart I know Though there are many miles to go We'll be forever friends under the big blue sky Sisters our destiny, friendship our family Building it strong each day and breaking down walls to say What's in our hearts though I know There are so many miles to go We'll be forever friends under the big blue sky Sharing our deepest pain shedding our tears like rain Finding we're not alone and soaring to heights unknown And here in our hearts though we know There are so many miles to go We'll be forever friends under the big blue sky

Master Gardener By Frances Drost Master Gardener, come and till the soil in me Take out all the rocks and weeds Plant my heart with fertile seeds Send Your Spirit like the rain that comes in springtime Moisten all the dried up places May I bloom to give You praises Only the hand of the Master Gardener Could come and make a difference in my heart As His loving hand sweeps down the rows He's more than willing To come and do His part He takes the time to be with me And roots out all that shouldn't be Replacing it with fruit that honors Him Master Gardener—you can trust Him like no other For He sticks closer than a brother Protecting you from stormy weather He's your glory, you can find your source in Him Yes, He is the Master Gardener And you can trust Him with your heart And you can trust Him with your heart

Rain 05:51
Rain By Frances Drost There are seasons on the earth When rain cannot be found And the flowers seem to wilt beneath the sun So your people join their voice and lift it up to you Asking you to send the rains we long to see And the clouds begin to form And the air begins to change And the rain begins to fall to the earth Rain is falling, rain is falling Rain is falling, watering the earth Rain is falling, rain from heaven Rain is falling, falling from the sky There are seasons in our lives When rain cannot be found And my heart just seems to wilt beneath the wait But as your people join their voice and lift it up to you You said the rains would surely come Now the rain of Your Spirit is falling once again So with thankful hearts we say let it pour Rain is falling, rain is falling Rain is falling, watering our hearts Rain is falling, rain from heaven Rain is falling, falling from Your heart
5.
Just When You Think By Frances Drost Like a thief in the night Just like lightning flashing through the sky He will come for His bride And we'll ride with Him in purest white From the North to the South To the never-ending East and West We will fly through the skies And we'll reign with Him in endless light Just when you think He's not coming back again Just when you think you can hide your sin Just when you think that you've heard it all before He'll be breaking through the eastern sky Like a bird on the wind In the moment of a twinkling eye We will rise on the clouds As we soar into eternity

Living Fire 04:42
Each day my life seemed like a painting Filled with colorful design I could fake it on the outside But my colors were fading with time One day I heard a preacher say The words that cut me like a knife A pretty picture of a fire never warmed one single life I sought the Lord with burning tears Looking back across the year How I longed to know His presence Feel His touch and hear His voice Then as clear as night and day I recalled the scriptures say If you ask me for some bread I'll never give you stones instead So make my life a living fire Filled with You as my desire Consumed with only You alone Lord I no longer am my own Now this lesson I have learned Though my heart for Him still yearns I don't want to be a picture Filled with colorful designs I just want to be the real thing Warming every single life And if you share this same desire I know He'll make you living fire

Sea of Glass 03:12
Sea of Glass By Frances Drost and David Levy Blessed be the name of the Lord Holy is the name of the Lord Glory and honor and power be to the Lord of the Ages
8.
God Is Able 02:46
God is Able By Frances Drost Well it would seem that the devil has set another trap To delay my walk and try and set me back 'Cause he knows that the things that were weighing me down Had to go when the Spirit won the final round God is able, God is able, God is able to deliver me God is able, God is able, God is able to deliver me So you can pack your bags and take 'em down the road 'Cause I refuse to walk with such a heavy load And though the victory's coming just a little bit slow I'm gonna keep on goin' 'cause I know that I know Well it occurred to me when I was feeling kinda low Call a friend and share with her your state of woe And like a friend will do She came and took me by the hand With some faith and prayer I was on my feet again
9.
The Memory of You By Frances Drost I love the memory of you The way you smiled to me I long to sit by your side And share the dreams we used to share And though the image of you is framed on a wall Your heart beats with mine as I walk a lonely path I love the memory of you The way you walked with me We'd watch the sun goin' down And find our hearts side by side In the heat of the day I'd give you water And in the cold of the night I'd draw you closer to me How can time go on? I love the memory of you When you were there for me And at the end of your days You gave me one more smile You closed your eyes and my heart died Now I close my eyes and hear you say to me I love the memory of you You made a home for me When I was lost and alone You were my shelter in the rain But time must go on without me I'm in your heart And that's all you need to know I love you
10.
Moments 03:24
Moments By Frances Drost Moments to treasure Scenes in the snow Cat by the window And a fire in the stove These are the moments That remind me again Life is too short to run so far ahead Take time to treasure every moment you have And in quietness and confidence You'll see the bigger plan Birthdays and weddings Pictures of friends Things we can't measure with numerals and pens These are the treasures that remind me again What seems important May not be in the end

about

C 2000 Musical Creations


"When I began this project, I felt like an amateur artist who took my set of paints to two very gifted artists: David and Kevin. They were able to take my small palette of colors and create more colors, to come up with a beautiful painting that portrays very well who I am. Kevin, your gentle, caring ways were like an easel supporting the painting as we progressed. You were a quiet, steady, strength; not to mention your cheerful demeanor. David, it has been an absolute pleasure to watch you work and to learn from you. You have been a wonderful mentor to me through this whole process and wow, what a process it was! Your careful attention to detail and your creativity have taught me so much about music. Thank you."
