Christian Alternative

This song is about a question that was posed to me shortly after my near death experience in 1992. An acquaintance of mine came to me asking if I could give him an example of faith.The song touches on that example. It's about a man walking a well kept road with no stumbling blocks. But, on one side of the road is the biblical abyss, and on the other is hell. I'm seeing this in my head as I tell him the story. I see the light dim, until it becomes pitch black, and then I asked him what he thought the man would do. Immediately, he said: "He falls to his knees and prays" …which sounded logical to me. But in my mind, I saw the light return, and the man was still walking. And then my perspective began to change, as I moved down and in front of the man. As I did, I told my friend what I was seeing. I was in front of the walking man, and could see his face. His eyes were completely white. The darkness never affected him, because he couldn't see it. Nor could he see the light. He had always walked in faith, and never needed to pray anything other than “Thank you Father, for guiding my steps”.

Nothing can defeat the Word Of The Lord! God is truth, and, like God, truth is absolute. It's what IS. Our truth is grounded in earthly desires, pride, greed, narcissism, and so on (If we believe it, it must be true). THE truth is grounded in what is, whether we believe it or not. And if you could ask truth it's name, the reply you'd receive would likely be: "I AM, that I AM".

A song based on Genesis 1

Every now and then, you'll meet that special someone who makes you want to live with them forever, and walk into that eternal sunset, with the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

I'm still reeling from the heartbreak of my mother's passing. Yesterday was the first day that my family and I have endured life on this broken world, without her. Sometimes I forget to breathe. There are no words for how the loss of the one whose body provided for all of your developmental needs, as you entered this world. My dad passed in 2015, and that loss, while deeply saddening, was nothing like this. But then, I was her care giver. That was my duty, for all of the years she took care of my brothers and I. So this song is my tribute to the woman who struggled, sacrificed, and fought to keep a roof over my head, food on the table, and clothes on my back. Mom, you were the best.

This one is dedicated to my dad, Richard Maurice Spencer, who departed this world on Thursday, April 30, 2015, at the age of 87.
