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
Christine and I started dating in late September of 1993 (the 23rd to be exact). The first time I told her I loved her, she didn't respond. I told her again and she said "I heard you." I was devistated because I was certain that the Lord had made it clear to me she was the woman I was supposed to marry. I wrote her a song (He is Love) that was careful not to say those three words in it. I presented it to her with a stuffed animal, that has been her favorite ever since (CoonBearDog or CBD), when she returned home from a trip. She leaned over and whispered in my ear that she loved me, Woo Hoo!!! A couple of months later was her 21st birthday. I took the opportunity to write her a song that itemized some of the many reasons I love her. I framed the lyrics too. It has since become a mainstay of many of our live performances.
Lyrics
THAT¡¦S WHY „¶ 1993 Rob Carter When I look up at the sky on a day when there¡¦s nothing but blue I am reminded He who has made it all, he has given me you. And I cannot look at you and not see He who sets our hearts on things above And that¡¦s why I¡¦m so in love. And when I look in to your eyes and the same blue is looking at me. I know that God is the source of our love and the reason we¡¦re free. And when we wonder where life may lead, He¡¦s the one whom we¡¦re both thinking of. And that¡¦s why I¡¦m so in love. All of my life all I wanted was love. Now I know Him by name. And all that we share I¡¦m convinced is a gift from one and the same. And Christine I know that it¡¦s hard sometimes, but with Jesus we will overcome. And that¡¦s why I¡¦m so in love. And we have each other and we have Him, and we know that is more than enough. And that¡¦s why I¡¦m so in love¡K(whispered: I¡¦m so in love with you!)
