The Tribe never released music to the mainstream, secular market but remained consistently popular among proponents of contemporary Christian music. The band went through various incarnations that included various members including Cameron Dante, Andy Hawthorne, Lindsey West, and Tim & Emma Owen.
Their music was almost exclusively produced by Manchester-based Zarc Porter. The Tribe were part of a wider Christian charity called ‘The Message Trust’ who has gone on to spawn other music groups such as ‘BlushUK’ and ‘LZ7’ and continues to actively proselytise to children across the Manchester region.
Frantik
The World Wide Message Tribe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Look to the inside and all the times I fail
But I look at You and Your face
I'm in Your arms and the failing's pale
I'm insignificant but all You've done in my life
To save and change me
I wanna give my whole life to worship
Own my words and deeds completely
King of the universe called me a friend
Looks up the mountains captured my love
It's immense and so close I can't comprehend.
When I come into the presence of God
I come to worship the Maker of all things
King of love, awesome Saviour of the world
Do you believe it?
Do you believe it?
Do you believe it?
Well go frantik
Everyone in the place get frantik
Jump up in the air get hectic
With your hands shout out
Accept it
To the glory of God it's frantik
Everyone in the place go frantik
Jump up in the air get hectic
With you hands shout out
Accept it
To the glory of God
It's frantik
Go frantik

Frantik go frantik go frantik go frantik go frantik go frantik go frantik
Go frantik go
When I survey the wonderous Cross
To which my Saviour Jesus hangs there nailed
I never cease to be humbled by Your love
And all my words of praise seem frail
Stiil Your hands of peace are all I need
And Your grace poured out lifts up my soul
As I wait on the Lord
He renews my strength
As I call on the Lord He makes me whole
I intend to sing of this amazing thing that has happened to me in
These days
Overwhelmed by the love of Jesus
I wanna worship
I wanna shout out praise
When I come into the presence of God
I come to worship the Maker of all things
King of love, awesome Saviour of the world
Do you believe it?
Do you believe it?
Do you believe it?
