The Barnabas 45 RPM Single

Recorded in 1979 with no budget at three L.A. studios which we actually sneaked into during down time.  These tracks are, for the most part,  live recordings, with a few vocal and guitar overdubs diced in. - Kris K.

Engineered by David Storrs.

There's someone that I know would like to talk to you
There's someone that I know who gave His life for you
His love is best of all; He'll hear you if you call
The phone's never off the hook in heaven

Don't need no operator or assistance line
He's paid the charge; salvation won't cost you a dime
Hey, you can call collect; go ahead and dial direct
The phone's never off the hook in heaven

His hotline's always open
He leaves His hotline open, waiting just for you
He'd love for you to call
So go ahead and call, and let His love break through

Long distance rates are great; it's free, no need to wait
The phone's never off the hook in heaven
His love is best of all; He'll hear you if you call
The phone's never off the hook in heaven

In the night, when no one would be watching
A man came with a question on his mind
He'd seen this Jesus working many wonders
He'd watched as Jesus spoke, performing signs

"Teacher, surely you must come from Heaven
For without God, no one could do these things."
But Jesus saw the longing in the man's heart
And simply said, "You must be born again."

You must be born again

Nicodemus, can't you see that you can't enter in
The Kingdom of the Lord is closed, unless you're born again

Nicodemus found what he'd been seeking
And you can find it too, my searching friend
'Cause in your heart, you know He died to save you
Just ask Him in, and you'll be born again

You must be born again
