rpkirschner This is the kind of hidden gem that you only find on bandcamp. The guitar work is great and the lyrics are excellent. If you like Christian rock give this one a try. Favorite track: Forever And Today.

Hey there man, listen here a day is coming, the day draws near the dead shall rise, meet Jesus in the air four horsemen shall ride, it’s a time to fear The King is Coming The King is Coming Pure and White Power outta sight The King is Coming The King is Coming He who has an ear, let him hear worthy is the Lamb the angels will cheer the seals will be open, the earth laid bare the wrath of God is coming there’s no time to spare The King is Coming The King is Coming Pure and White Power outta sight The King is Coming The King is Coming No time to wait, no don’t hesitate He knocks at the door for just a little while more won’t you ask him in, sit and dine with him please don’t say no, the trumpet’s about to blow Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done the Word of God you can’t outrun He’s coming on the clouds, the Faithful and True the King of Kings, satan’s day is through My King is Coming My King is Coming Pure and White Power outta sight My King is Coming My King is Coming My King is Coming My King is Coming Power and Mite Gonna make it Right My King is Coming My King is Coming

The Rock 03:35
A rough ride on the sea that night a tempest raged and they feared for their life quiet, be still, is all He had to say who is this that even the winds and waves obey He’s the Rock my Anchor and my Hope the Refuge of the wise when storms arise He’s my Rock Pushed and pulled by this world’s desires trampled and beaten by trials and fires but burdens and heartache can’t bring me down cause I built my house upon solid ground I’m on the Rock my Anchor and my Hope the Refuge of the wise when storms arise He’s my Rock Though the waters roar and the mountains quake I shall not fear I shall not shake God is my fortress yes God is my strength I shall not fear I shall not shrink Imprisoned, enslaved, shackled and chained cast out, denied, hated and shamed tried for love, guilty of pain persecuted for the sake of my name He’s the Rock my Anchor and my Hope the Refuge of the wise when storms arise When I’m attacked He’s got my back When I’m in a fight He is my might He’s my Rock

I went to see Him in the night surrounded by darkness Hidden from sight I needed to know I needed insight is He just show or the eternal light Could this be Him? Could they be right? Could this be Him? the King in all His might? He spoke of truth He spoke of love He spoke of signs from Heaven above truly, truly He shared with me to see the Kingdom you must believe He said I must be born again of the Spirit, redeemed from sin like the rushing wind where’s it going, where’s it been He spoke of earthly things and of things unseen He said God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whosoever believes shall live, shall live shall live, shall live He changed water to wine, cast demons to swine, He fed 5000 without a dime The blind see, the lame walk, the sick are healed and the dumb now talk The deaf hear, the dead are raised, the good news is heard with praise Grace is given, sinners forgiven, the law of love is spoken Is He the One? The One we’ve been waiting on Has our King come? The promised one, God’s own Son Is this the Lamb? Whom all sin is cast upon Who is this man? Could this be Him? Could they be right? Could this be Him? the King in all His might? He said I must be born again of the Spirit, redeemed from sin like the rushing wind where’s it going, where’s it been He said I must be born again of the Spirit, redeemed from sin like the rushing wind where’s it going, where’s it been He spoke of earthly things and of the things unseen He said God so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whosoever believes shall live, shall live shall live, shall live

Who Am I 02:37
As I looked into your deep blue eyes you return the glance and I wonder why cause who am I that I might even try to love you and to think that I could touch your heart and never part if you only knew my feelings for you I love you and no one else will do my world’s complete when it’s just we two I hang my heart on your every word when you speak it’s like I’ve heard an angel’s voice If I had a choice I’d drop to my knees and ask you please My life a poem to you my love you’re heavenly like the stars above I exist only to worship you you’re so bright but you make me blue can’t you see there’s no one else for me without you dear my end is near But who am I to love you Who am I to love you Who am I to love you

A moment in time long gone but in my mind replayed a thousand times it doesn’t change a thing In days gone by with pride I stole cheat and lied no remorse for my offense a carnal criminal It’s time to let it go there’s no going back, I can’t change the past oh give me faith Lord so that I know Your Mercy reigns Your Love steadfast Sin and shame hangs on a mind game I pray but the hurt remains the past still haunts today It’s time to let it go there’s no going back, I can’t change the past oh give me faith Lord so that I know Your Mercy reigns Your Love steadfast As high as the heavens are above the earth so great is His love for those who fear Him As far as the east is from west so far are our transgressions removed from us It’s time to let it go there’s no going back, I can’t change the past oh give me faith Lord so that I know Your Mercy reigns Your Love steadfast

I am empty moping, barely coping hoping that love will persevere I am empty Like a diamond under glass like a pearl in the oyster’s grasp I need Your love, a jewel so fine but I cannot touch, You are not mine I seek You always burning, ever yearning turning to see if You are near I seek You always Like a diamond under glass like a pearl in the oyster’s grasp I need your Love, a jewel so fine but I cannot touch, You are not mine How long, how long? will You hide Your face from me? with sorrow in my heart each day? how long, how long? Like a diamond under glass like a pearl in the oyster’s grasp I need your Love, a jewel so fine but I cannot touch, You are not mine

The path is worn It’s been walked before this is the Way to heaven’s door Step by step drawn by the Light Walking in faith and not by sight I feel You there I see the signs in the clear blue sky and the bright sunshine in the red and gold leaves and hanging grape vines and the cool soft breeze through the tall white pines Step by step by step, by Step by step by step, Step by step by step, by Step by step by step, I’m coming home to You No turning back No turning back Some say You’re fiction but I say You’re fact No turning back No turning back my conviction is what keeps me on track Up & down and down & out I pass by the valley of doubt On & on and thru and thru around the bend of shame I knew The walk is long and the mountain tall Without You near I would surely fall It’s a rocky trail and evil lurks But I’m saved by grace and not by works Step by step by step, by Step by step by step, Step by step by step, by Step by step by step, I’m coming home to You No turning back No turning back Some say You’re fiction but I say You’re fact No turning back No turning back my conviction is what keeps me on track The Cross before me the world behind Nothing on earth can change my mind I’ll follow Jesus He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life Him I’ll trust and obey Though none go with me still I will go with every step my faith it grows He walked the path to Calvary I walk the path my Savior to see No turning back No turning back Some say You’re fiction but I say You’re fact No turning back No turning back my conviction is what keeps me on track No turning back No turning back Some say You’re fiction but I say You’re fact No turning back No turning back my conviction is what keeps me on track

You Claire 01:52
Autumn divine spending my time sipping white wine and writing my rhymes A chill in the air I’m in my lawn chair without a care I’m thinking of ... You, you, you, I’m thinking bout you Claire You, you, you, I’m thinking bout you Treetops a show leaves all aglow like a Van Gogh painting you know Crow stops to stare he looks debonair wish I could share the moment with ... You, you, you, I’m thinking bout you Claire You, you, you, I’m thinking bout you Hanging out with time to spare the season’s ripe, fall in the air the yard needs work but I don’t care life’s complete, thinking of Claire Sun in the sky leaves floating by my work I defy I’m a lucky guy An autumn affair a knife and a chair pumpkins beware I’ll carve one for ... You, you, you, I’m thinking bout you Claire You, you, you, I’m thinking bout you
