Original Music in Popular Styles Written from a Christian Perspective
Did you know that Carter is the 42nd most popular last name in the U.S.? Or that Robert is the 3rd most popular 1st name?!?!?!?!? Well I asure you that if you are looking for a guy that loves Jesus, writes music to worship and glorify the Father Son and Holy Spirit AND writes...4th and 5th grade band music...? I'M your man!!! These days I have mostly been doing occassional solo gigs as I court the lovely and talented Mindy Schott (my girlfriend of 6 months.) I do orriginal contemporary worship and pop rock orriginals from a Christian perspective. There's just enough humor, sincerity, and vulnerability to keep the audience attentive as I share my Christian experience in an attempt to meet people where they are and bring them closer to God. With the band, we do a lot of "secular" rock covers with a Christ centered focus. That way, people are bound to hear the songs again and have the seed watered.

Story behind the song
Too often we, especially I, live our lives based on what we feel is true at any given moment. Feeling like something is true or false does not have much bearing on whether it is, in fact, true or false (of course there are acceptions). God, however is imovable and unchanging. He has given us his word (the Bible) to live by. I wanted to remember this and remind others of it as well. Hence, the song.
Lyrics
REALITY „¶ 1997 Rob Carter I wish You were nearer than you are. Tell me what do I expect? How could You be nearer than my heart? What I feel contradicts what You say. I wish that we could connect. But I don¡¦t feel like You are here today. CHORUS I Tell me what is real; Eternal words or the way that I feel? One seams ¡§realer¡¨ But that reality isn¡¦t reality at all. I wish I was far away from here. But I can not run from You Regardless of how things may appear. One thing never changes: that is change! But You say nothing is new¡K Something here just feels a little strange. (to chorus I, then bridge) BRIDGE Could it possibly be my feelings lie Deep within a cleverly devised lie Dark images in my minds eye are all junk! CHORUS II But You are what is real! Eternal Word of the Father revealed. And none is ¡§realer¡¨ ¡¥Cause You¡¦re the reality that is really the all in all. And feelings may change but You are ever the same¡K The real GOD!
