Melodic Rock-Inspired A Cappella... Original Music by Multi-Vocalist/ Songwriter Eric Gwin
Eric Gwin is a Vocal Musician who has been writing, recording, and performing A Cappella music for over 30 years. Often referred to by his listeners as a "Progressive Multi-Vocalist", Eric combines multiple layers of harmony and unique human percussion sounds with dazzling studio effects, creating modern rock music with a positive message. Eric is a firm believer in the idea that we're all here for a purpose. He believes that his purpose is to use music to bring people together, all the while pushing the "sonic envelope" as far as he can by creating music that is truly original, innovative, and unlike any you've ever heard.

Story behind the song
This song is the very first song that I ever wrote. After working with Paul Evans on "Healing Touch" and "Lions of God" for the first Ariel album, Paul encouraged me to try writing one of my own for inclusion on the album. I'm thankful he did, because it led to this song. When it was written, the idea behind this song was God's input in doing something creative (like, say, writing a song!). Now, 13 years later, I look at the message as being more than that. God should continue to amaze us and inspire us each and every day. In my life, God has become the "divine inspiration" for everything I do, not just in music. By the way, my old Q pal, Jon Owen, once recorded a version of this song that was quite cool, but he's never released it. Maybe someday I'll talk him into it.
Lyrics
As I look back at Christ's life on this earth I find comfort when I read of his birth and it inspires me when I read that he died for me I read of his ministry and I can feel glad that he's still reaching out to those who are sad I get inspired to write of his love for me Chorus: He's my Divine Inspiration (He put the words in my mouth) He puts a song in my soul. And with his hand to guide me (all the way to Heaven) Heaven is my supreme goal. We read in the Bible of his works and how he's always there where evil lurks He's there to catch us every time we fall. We strive daily to work for the Lord and walk our paths by the light of his word. We try our best to be like him every day. Chorus Bridge: I can't believe that a man would die for a wretch like me So its my duty to be an example for all the world to see Chorus Copyright (C) 1989, 2002 Clockwork Music BMI
