Upbeat rhythm with nice vocal harmonies. The song tells a story about the "Prince of Peace" who gave His life so that others may live.

Hi, my name is Kathy. I'm a Christian singer/songwriter and guitar player. My style is typically folk-rock. Please have a listen and share your comments.
It seems that music has always been an integral part of my life. One of my brothers was a drummer who played in several rock and roll bands while I was growing up, so I got an early start with my music education. This experience gave me a personal desire to learn how to play the guitar and write songs.

Story behind the song
Shiloh means peace. The title of this song is from a prophecy given in Genesis 49:10, which says: "The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come: and unto him shall the gathering of the people be." In a world ravaged by war, terrorism, crime, and natural disasters, people long for peace. Jesus is Shiloh, the "Prince of Peace." He hears the cry of the human heart and offers Himself as the only true and lasting source of peace.
Lyrics
SHILOH verse 1: He was a simple man, born in a troubled time Fear and oppression had conquered his people Oh, how they longed for a sign Trusting in promises the prophets of old had written How Shiloh would come, He'd be the one To lead all His people to freedom verse 2: And He came, yet so many did not recognize Him How could a carpenter's son, so humble and meek Be God in the form of a man? Serving the multitudes, feeding them bread from heaven Healing their sick, raising their dead Until the day they crucified Him Bridge: And only a few would realize He was the Lamb of heaven By faith, they'd see through a child's eyes And so be born again! verse 3: Some wonder why- a man who was as good as He Should suffer and die for no crime of His own Something like this shouldn't be But He was wounded for the wrongs that we all have done For God loved the world so much that He freely Sacrificed His only Son verse 4: Now He lives and He's seated at the Father's right hand Someday He's coming to call for His own He'll make all things new once again! Trust in the promises the prophets of old have written For Shiloh will come, yes, He'll be the one To lead all His people to freedom!
