From this Rock

A song and music video about placing your trust in the Holy Spirit.

From this Rock, a song dedicated to the power of the Holy Spirit. With classic and southern rock influence this track has a slightly more aggressive tone than some of my prior releases. From this Rock starts off with prophetic thunder followed by the subtle blend of acoustic strums and melodic backing-vocals. The track ventures into an all-out rock-inspired chorus along with a rhythmic bridge between verses.

As a Catholic-Christian I think it's important for my music to reflect my faith. At the same time I do not necessarily want to be preaching. From this Rock is my attempt to proclaim the amazing power, of the Holy Spirit, to transform our lives. For "the love of God has been poured out into our hearts through the holy Spirit that has been given to us." Romand 5:5.

I've experienced the power of the Holy Spirit in my life, have you? Have a big decision to make? Need to have a breakthrough in your life, career or in a relationship? God knows your desires and most importantly He knows what you actually need (which may be different from what you want). It will happen if it is God's will! So trust in the Holy Spirit to provide you strength, courage and grace. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Lyrics:

From this Rock
water shall flow
through the desert
baptizing God's people.

From this Rock
water shall flow
Cleanse my heart
Cleanse my soul

Sometimes I spread my wings
Sometimes I lose control
Lord knows I am so weak
Let the Holy Spirit take control
Then I can do anything
When the Holy Spirit takes control.

From the Rock
water shall flow
From this Rock
Fire will grow
From the spark
Fire will grow

So come on
Spread your wings
Don't be afraid to lose control
Cause you can do anything
Let the Holy Spirit take control

About the music. I'm on a mission to create music with purpose.
