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
After a playing a gig one night, I was able to pray with a young man to recieve Christ. I Pray that Jay is still walking with the Lord.
Lyrics
GREAT EXPANSE (For- Jay) -1996- Rob- Carter How many miles of ink have I Left on pages just to watch it dry? And it left me the same; Dry and unchanged. How many hours did I consume Singing songs for the walls of my lonely room? And the walls would just stare.- They were not aware... That one day my songs would reach you my friend! How many dreams did I dare to dream? Only one, but it never seemed like it would ever end. Now it's begun my friend; WITH YOU!!! Chorus To reach across that great expanse that can only be reached this side of heaven. To reach across to one who's lost and to say “it's all right, you can be forgiven!” Verse II How many days was I in a daze, Pondering things I wanted to say? But I did not know who To say all these things to. Now it is time.- The ink is a song. The hour has come.- The dreaming is done and the words have reached your ears. I waited all these years... But every moment I’ve waited has been worth it even if you’re the only one who ever comes!!! Just to have had the chance...(to chorus
