NOTE: If you want to hear the songs as an album playing in sequence, Click on the arrow in the KB Gunn and Friends upper banner and a page will pop up that allows continuous play of all the songs in proper order. This Band Page is called KB Gunn & Friends. I have been asked who my friends are. They are Jay Stern and Steve Webb who together with me formed a 1990's music group called "Ruach". Also, David McMahon sings "Lay Down Your Nets", my contribution to Christian Country music. Also, Everett "Slowhand" Jenkins, one of my favorite guitarists, performed powerful lead guitar in the "Nine Eleven" (demo version) as well as all guitar parts in "Lay Down Your Nets". Enjoy. Shalom KB Gunn visionoutreach.net BIOGRAPHY KB Gunn has been a musician and recording engineer for so long that he can't remember when he started. He is certain that it was after the advent of the industrial age, but before man walked on the moon. He used to freeze his tootsies in the frozen tundra of southern Vermont, but now resides in south eastern North Carolina. It is so nice to be warm. KB has a habit of being unconventional when it comes to Christian music because he does not listen often to existing CCM recordings. He does not want to be locked into a formula. He does not see himself as a minister to Christians, but as a minstrel to Christians to be. He has a focus on evangelism, not praise and worship for ministry to the Church. If Christians like the music, that is just fine, but it is meant to bring a lost and dying generation to a relationship with Jesus. Isn't that what it is all about? KB was raised in a Jewish home and was being groomed to become a cantor. When he was Bar Mitzvah, he decided to leave Judaism and be a rock and roller. At the age of 28, he became a Christian and started singing songs to the Lord after all. Not quite what the cantor and rabbi wanted, but it was what the Lord wanted. The first 10 songs in this collection are a preview of my new album, K.O.O.K. due out by summer of 2009 in CD format. K.O.O.K. is an acronym for "Keeper Of Outstanding Knowledge".

Story behind the song
This song features the opening of the Israeli National Anthem as the theme (Hatikva). It is the most serious message to the Jewish people on the album.
Lyrics
Awaken Wake up oh Israel and see, the Son of God can set you free, He walked the earth before, He will return once more Israel He will establish on the earth His Royal throne Awaken and receive God’s Son, lift up your hands to the Holy One Look up and see God’s Word is true, draw near to Him and He’ll draw near to you Wake up oh Israel and see, the truth of God will set you free He was and He is and forever shall be Israel, you soon shall see Him step upon the mount of Olives Awaken and receive God’s Son, lift up your hands to the Holy One Look up oh Israel and see, let God deliver you and set you free, set you free Forever He will rule the land, from His throne His mighty hand will raise in victory, Jerusalem will be set free, Israel, you soon shall see, Y’shua’s majesty Awaken and receive God’s Son, lift up your heads to the Holy One Look up oh Israel and see, as your King, Messiah Jesus sets you free!
